MARTIAL PEAK 5199
In the void, Yang Kai's figure flickered as he rapidly flew forward.
The vast void was quiet and vast, with no suitable references, no corresponding Universe Chart, so Yang Kai didn't know where he was.
Fortunately, he still had the Universe Formation to use.
Under normal circumstances, as long as they were in the same world, the person who left a mark on the Universe Formation could activate the Universe Escape Law to form a connection with the Universe Formation and directly teleport back to it.
However, the distance was different, and the pressure one had to face during the teleportation was different. If the pressure was too great, only corpses will be teleported back.
A few days ago, Yang Kai had begun using the Universe Escape Law to sense the location of the Universe Formation to correct his direction.
However, because the distance between them was too great, even Yang Kai couldn't teleport at this distance, so he continued to close the distance between them.
At a certain moment, he suddenly stopped and changed his hand seals to activate the Universe Escape Law.
A moment later, the giant Spirit Array beneath his feet lit up and seemed to form a connection with a distant place.
This was where the Universe Formation was located, and where the Universe Formation was located was where the North and South Army's Expelling Black Ink Battleship was located.
Yang Kai silently sensed the distance between him and the Universe Formation. At such a distance, ordinary Seventh Order masters would not be able to easily pass through it, only Eighth Order masters could.
However, this was no longer a problem for him.
Opening his mind, he allowed the invisible pulling force to envelop him.
With a bright flash, Yang Kai's figure disappeared.
On a floating continent, the massive fleet of the North and South Army was hiding.
This place was ten days away from Great Evolution Pass!
Since the first time the Black Ink Clan had discovered their location, the North and South Army's fleet had changed their hiding places several times, but it wouldn't be long before they were discovered again.
In order to find out the whereabouts of this Human Race army, the Black Ink Clan had sent out many people, almost like they were casting a net towards Azure Void Pass.
This caused the North and South Army's fleet to retreat again. At this point, if they were to be discovered again, they could only continue to retreat.
After all, there was no Old Ancestor here. If the Black Ink Clan's Royal Lord came here, they wouldn't be able to resist him, so for safety's sake, it was best to stay as far away from Great Evolution Pass as possible.
Inside the Central Army Expelling Black Ink Battleship, on the deck, Mi Jinglun held his feathered fan and stood quietly at the bow of the ship, looking towards the direction of Great Evolution Pass.
It had been nearly ten days since Ouyang Lie and his disciple had gone to the Great Evolution Pass to investigate the situation, but there had been no news of them until now.
What puzzled Mi Jinglun the most was the movements of the Great Evolution's East and West Army. According to the original plan, the East and West Army should have already arrived near the Great Evolution Pass and should have contacted them, but up until now, the East and West Army had not sent any news.
The communication artifact was with Ouyang Lie, and he was currently in the vicinity of Great Evolution Pass. If the East and West armies wanted to contact him, they would definitely be able to contact him immediately.
Without the cooperation of the East and West armies, it would be difficult for the thirty thousand North and South Army soldiers to achieve anything.
Unfortunately, there wasn't much he could do right now, so he could only try his best to hide the North and South Army fleet and wait quietly.
At this moment, a strange aura suddenly appeared in a certain spot on the Expelling Black Ink Battleship, followed by a surprised voice asking, "Who are you?"
Mi Jinglun suddenly turned his head towards that direction.
This place is the location of the Space Array, which corresponded to the room where the Expelling Black Ink Battleship's Universe Formation is set up.
If a soldier were to use the Universe Escape Law to return to the Expelling Black Ink Battleship, they would immediately return to the room where the Universe Formation was set up. However, because this room was sealed with the Purification Light, there was another space array which could be used to transport them to a certain location on the deck.
The corresponding space array on the deck was guarded by someone.
The one who asked this question was the guard of the Spirit Array.
Someone had passed through the Universe Formation to arrive at the Expelling Black Ink Battleship! Mi Jinglun immediately reacted and sent a voice transmission to the guard, "Quickly bring him here."
The other side responded.
A moment later, the guard brought a young man to Mi Jinglun.
The person who had just arrived was naturally Yang Kai. Looking at the scholarly man in front of him, Yang Kai understood and cupped his fists, "Disciple greets Sir Mi!"
Mi Jinglun was slightly surprised, "You recognize me? We haven't met before, right?"
Yang Kai replied, "No! However, this Disciple knows the names of the two North and South Army Regiment Commanders. One of them, Sir Ouyang, sounds like a hot-tempered person, so he wouldn't dress like Sir Ouyang. Since it's not that Regiment Commander Ouyang, it should be the other one."
Mi Jinglun smiled slightly, "So that's how it is. Are you Yang Kai?"
Now it was Yang Kai's turn to look surprised, "Sir also recognizes me?"
Mi Jinglun said, "Since you were able to appear on the Expelling Black Ink Battleship, it's obvious that you left a mark here before. You're not a soldier of the North and South Army, when you look around the various human passes, the only one who left a mark on all the Expelling Black Ink Battleship is you. After all, you were the one who set up the Universe Formation."
Yang Kai nodded slightly.
Mi Jinglun's expression became solemn as he changed the subject, "Did you come here to inform us of some military intelligence?"
Yang Kai cupped his fists, "On the orders of the Regiment Commander Xiang Shan, I have come to inform the North and South Army that our original plan has changed."
Mi Jinglun raised his hand, "Wait a moment!"
Saying so, his Divine Sense surged and he beckoned to Yang Kai, "Follow me."
A short while later, Yang Kai followed him into the Expelling Black Ink Battleship and arrived at a meeting place.
A moment later, the Eighth Order Garrison Chiefs who had received the news arrived one after another. Many people were surprised to see Yang Kai's unfamiliar face and wondered why this Seventh Order was here.
They had thought that Yang Kai was a soldier of the North and South Army. After all, the Great Evolution Army was formed from the various mountain passes, so the Garrison Chief didn't know everyone.
However, there were a few Eighth Order masters who had seen Yang Kai before.
In the past, the refining method of the Expelling Black Ink Battleship had been sent out from Blue Sky Pass. Each of the mountain passes had created four Expelling Black Ink Battleships, and then an Eighth order had been dispatched to Blue Sky Pass to allow Yang Kai to set up the Universe Formation and seal the Purification Light.
These few Eighth Order Open Heaven had seen Yang Kai before, and they were the ones who had gone to Blue Sky Pass.
Seeing Yang Kai here, the few Eighth Order masters were surprised for a moment, but soon became pleasantly surprised, because they remembered that Blue Sky Pass had mobilized the East and West armies. Since Yang Kai had come here, it was obvious he had brought news from the East and West armies.
The North and South Army had been waiting for this day for a long time.
The news secretly spread and all the Eighth Order were filled with anticipation.
Not long after, all of the Eighth Order Garrison Chiefs arrived, and Mi Jinglun went straight to the point, "Yang Kai is from the East and West Army, he has an intelligence report. Please listen."
Yang Kai cupped his fists and bowed, "Yang Kai greets Sirs, under the orders of Regiment Commander Xiang Shan, I have come here to inform the North and South Army that the original plan has changed!"
Yang Kai didn't know what the Great Evolution Army's upper echelons had originally planned, but it was nothing more than gathering the strength of the four armies to attack Great Evolution Pass. However, after encountering the Black Ink Clan reinforcements along the way, the East and West armies seemed to have some new ideas.
"What happened?"
"Why?"
"Since the original plan has changed, what should we do next?"
…
The Eighth order masters were in an uproar. It wasn't that they weren't calm enough, but rather that this was an important military matter. It was related to the recovery of Great Evolution Pass and the survival of tens of thousands of soldiers. The unilateral change in the East and West armies had caught them off guard.
Mi Jinglun raised his hand and pressed down, causing the Eighth Order masters to quiet down.
Turning to Yang Kai, Mi Jinglun asked, "Did something happen to the East and West armies?"
Yang Kai replied, "There is no accident, but a few days after leaving Wind and Cloud Pass, we encountered a Black Ink Clan army heading towards the Wind and Cloud War Zone. Although there were three hundred thousand of them, under the leadership of the Old Ancestor, we easily won."
Mi Jinglun nodded slightly.
Three hundred thousand troops sounded like a lot, but they were only reinforcements from Great Evolution Pass, so there shouldn't be too many Territory Lords. With the strength of the East and West armies, it wouldn't be difficult to defeat them.
"What did Senior Brother Xiang say?" Mi Jinglun asked again.
Yang Kai replied, "The Regiment Commander said that the East and West armies will find a way to attract the attention of the Great Evolution Pass' Black Ink Clan and use this opportunity to rush into the heart of the Black Ink Clan territory. Once news of this spreads to the Great Evolution Pass, the Great Evolution Pass will definitely take action. If the Great Evolution Pass's Black Ink Clan appears, the North and South armies has to pay attention to intercept them and not allow the East and West armies to be attacked from both sides."
As soon as these words came out, the Eighth Order who had just calmed down showed signs of an uproar. Although Yang Kai's report were very accurate, there were many things that they couldn't understand.
Mi Jinglun frowned, "The East and West armies want to attract the attention of the Great Evolution Pass' Black Ink Clan? How?"
Yang Kai thought about it for a moment before replying, "On the road, the Regiment Commander summoned all the Artifact Refiners from the army and collected a large number of materials to refine an extremely special puppet. This puppet is in humanoid form, and although it doesn't have a very strong combat strength, if it is activated, it can emit an aura of Fifth Order Open Heaven master and above, which is enough to disguise its true form and also collect many clothes."
"Puppet?" Mi Jinglun was slightly startled.
On top of that, they had actually collected materials and clothes on the road. This meant that the East and West Army's plan had been made on the spur of the moment and had not been premeditated, otherwise it's impossible for them to not be notified in advance.
It was impossible for Xiang Shan and the others to not know that the army's main priority was to be careful when proceeding. If they rashly changed their original plan, it meant that they had a better idea.
Although Yang Kai was only describing the actions of the East and West armies on the road and didn't make any speculations, just the puppets and clothes were enough to make one's imagination run wild.
The East and West armies obviously wanted to use these refined puppets to attract the attention of the Great Evolution Pass' Black Ink Clan.
"How many of these puppets have you refined?" Mi Jinglun's question hit the nail on the head.
Having a few puppets was nothing. Only by refining them in large quantities would the Black Ink Clan pay attention to them.
"I alone have refined more than 140 puppets, and there were about a thousand Artifact Refiners. Considering everyone's skill in Artifact Refining is different and the number of puppets they can refine is also different, this disciple has a conservative estimate that the number of puppets refined will be around fifty thousand or even more."
