They couldn’t really believe what they had just heard.
After all, Yang Kai was just a Seventh-Order Open Heaven Realm Master. Although most of the strongest Black Ink Clansmen had left the Royal Domain, even an Eighth-Order Division Commander would be unable to pull off such a feat.
However, they knew that it wasn’t necessary for Yang Kai to lie to them. In other words, such things had really happened.
Wu Xing He and the others were astonished as admiration was written all over their faces.
A moment later, Wu Xing He came to his senses and asked, “Junior Brother, you mean, after a Territory Lord’s Black Ink Nest is destroyed, all of the sub-nests that originated from that Black Ink Nest will wither as well?”
Yang Kai nodded, “That’s right.”
Wu Xing He quickly ran the numbers in his mind, “A Territory Lord’s Black Ink Nest is connected to several dozen Feudal Lord Black Ink Nests. In other words, hundreds of Feudal Lord Black Ink Nests have been destroyed as a result.”
“I think so.”
All of them gasped.
Wang Si Bo said in a shaking voice, “You’ve also injured Hei Yuan?”
Yang Kai nodded, “He wanted to fight me using only our Souls, but he had no idea that I possess the Soul Warming Lotus. He basically found the wrong opponent. Unfortunately, even though I’ve managed to wound his Soul, I have no idea where he is now. I’ve failed in my attempts to find him; otherwise, I could seize this chance and end his life.”
“The Soul Warming Lotus…” Wu Xing He muttered under his breath. He had certainly heard of this Supreme Treasure before, but it never crossed his mind that such a valuable item was in Yang Kai’s possession.
With the Soul Warming Lotus protecting Yang Kai’s Soul, it was expected that Hei Yuan would lose in such a contest.
“Anyway, the Black Ink Clan have suffered immense losses recently; however, the Feudal Lords who are still around have gathered together around the surviving Territory Lord Black Ink Nests, so I’m no longer able to keep attacking. It’s time we went home.”
Upon hearing that, Wu Xing He nodded, “You’d better keep yourself safe, Junior Brother. You’re just a Seventh-Order Master now, but you’ve managed to make such a huge contribution. When you ascend to the Eighth Order in the future, you’ll be a pillar of strength for the Human Race. You must prioritise your safety at all times.”
Yang Kai replied humbly, “Many thanks for your compliment, Senior Brother.”
“How confident are you that you can kill Hei Yuan if you find him?” Wang Si Bo suddenly asked.
After pondering on it for a moment, Yang Kai shook his head, “I have no idea; however, since Hei Yuan’s Soul is damaged, he must be significantly weakened now. If I run into him, I’ll stand a chance to end his life. Why do you ask, Senior Brother Wang?”
A hint of hesitation flashed through Wang Si Bo’s face.
Realising something, Yang Kai asked, “Do you have a way to locate Hei Yuan?”
Wang Si Bo remained silent.
Nevertheless, his silence meant that he definitely had a way to find Hei Yuan. Yang Kai promptly said, “Senior Brother Wang, if you have a solution, why don’t you tell me about it? Although I’ve destroyed a lot of Mid-Rank Black Ink Nests and severely damaged their foundation, Black Ink Nests can still be hatched again. It will just take them some time and energy to nurture these Black Ink Nests. However, it will be different if we have a chance to kill Hei Yuan, who is one of the top five Territory Lords serving Mu Guang. Killing Hei Yuan will deal much longer-lasting damage than destroying 10 Territory Lord Black Ink Nests. His death will be a severe blow to the Black Ink Clan.”
After a sigh, Wang Si Bo said, “I wouldn’t dare to say that I can definitely find him, but I can give it a try.”
Yang Kai’s eyes brightened, “I’m all ears.”
Wang Si Bo went on to say, “Hei Yuan has a defensive artifact that was made by me.”
