MARTIAL PEAK 5206

Half of the Great Evolution Pass' Black Ink Clan's army had been mobilized, and following the orders of the Black Ink Clan's Royal Lord, they rushed towards the King City. At the side of this army, several tens of millions of kilometers away, a figure quietly followed.

This person was naturally Ouyang Lie.

Yang Kai and Gong Lian returned to the Expelling Black Ink Battleship one after another to deliver the news. Now that he was acting alone, he was even more stealthy.

Not to mention, the Black Ink Clan had not expected an Eighth Order Open Heaven cultivator to be monitoring their movements from tens of millions of kilometers away, Ouyang Lie was not worried about exposing himself.

The East and West Army had already taken action in the Black Ink Clan's hinterland. As for the North and South Army, Mi Jinglun would definitely lead his army to intercept Great Evolution Pass's Black Ink Clan reinforcements after obtaining detailed information. However, because the North and South Army had just arrived and were unfamiliar with the terrain of this war zone, choosing a battlefield was a problem.

By following the Great Evolution Black Ink Clan's reinforcements like this, he could immediately grasp their movements and when the time was right, he could personally return to the North and South Army and guide the direction of the army.

On the other side, inside the Black Ink Clan's hinterland, the East and West Army, led by Xiang Shan and Liu Zhiping, was rapidly marching forward. The speed of the Battleships had almost been raised to their fastest speed, and the massive fleet was streaking through the void like a streak of light.

A few days ago, the thirty thousand soldiers of the East and West Army had arrived at the Black Ink Clan's Territory Lord's domain. Although the territory was guarded by a Territory Lord, the tens of thousands of Black Ink Clan troops that could fight, and even the hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous troops of the Black Ink Clan, in front of this imposing East and West Army, they were still unable to withstand a single blow.

Xiang Shan personally took action, and in less than half a cup of tea's time, he had cut down the Territory Lord. Tens of thousands of Black Ink Clan soldiers had been reduced to ashes, and hundreds of thousands of Black Ink Clan cultivators had been slaughtered.

The Territory Lord-level Black Nest was also quickly destroyed.

The entire Territory Lord's domain had been transformed into a dead zone, with the remnants of the Black Ink Clan scattered everywhere. Because a large number of the Black Ink Clan had died, the Ink Force that had been released had condensed into a massive black ink cloud that covered the entire sky.

Without even looting the spoils of war, the army immediately set out after destroying the Territory Lord's domain and continued towards the Black Ink Clan's hinterland.

At this time, it was time to focus on speed.

According to their original plan, the Black Ink Clan's Royal Lord should have been lured to Great Evolution Pass. If the East and West armies could take advantage of the Royal Lord's absence to destroy the Black Ink Clan's King City and destroy the Royal Lord-level Black Ink Nest, it would only be a matter of time before they exterminated the entire Black Ink Clan in this war zone.

As such, the East and West Army's only goal was to destroy the Royal Lord-level Black Ink Nest.

Previously, when they were attacking the Territory Lord's domain, the Old Ancestor had personally entered the Territory Lord-level Black Ink Nest. According to the information Yang Kai had provided earlier, she had linked her consciousness to the Black Ink Nest's will to spy on the location of the Royal Lord-level Black Ink Nest.

When Yang Kai had been stirring up trouble behind the Black Ink Clan's army in the Yin Yang War Zone, he had used this method to find the locations of the various Territory Lord-level Black Ink Nests.

He had reported this matter to the Yin Yang Pass Old Ancestor, so the Old Ancestor naturally knew.

If Yang Kai could do it, there was no reason the Old Ancestor couldn't, and it was even easier than Yang Kai.

With the help of the Territory Lord-level Black Ink Nest, the Old Ancestor quickly located the approximate location of the Royal Lord-level Black Ink Nest, and the direction in which the East and West Army was attacking was exactly that.

Along the way, they encountered a few Feudal Lords' territories, but the East and West armies didn't waste any time and didn't even show any intention of attacking.

However, Xiang Shan and the others soon discovered a problem.

This was because there were almost no decent Black Ink Clans in these Feudal Lord-level territories.

According to the information Yang Kai had provided earlier, there were at least a few Feudal Lords in a mature Feudal Lord Territory, and there was no shortage of High Rank Black Ink Clan and Low Rank Black Ink Clan. In addition, there were even more Black Ink Clan soldiers. In this way, when the Territory Lords summoned their armies, a single Feudal Lord could easily gather hundreds of their forces. These Feudal Lords' forces would continue to merge and grow, eventually becoming an army under the Territory Lord.

However, not only were there no Feudal Lords on these Feudal Lords' territories, even the High Rank and Low Rank Black Ink Clan were nowhere to be seen. There were only a few who had just been born in the Black Ink Nest and weren't very strong, but they were all miscellaneous soldiers who didn't have the strength to move in the void.

This was not unexpected.

The speed at which the Black Ink Clan's intelligence was being transmitted was simply too fast. The Black Ink Nests were the nodes where the Black Ink Clan's intelligence was being transmitted. As long as there was any news, with the help of the Black Ink Nest, the entire Black Ink Clan in the entire war zone would be able to quickly learn about it.

The news that the East and West Army had appeared in the Black Ink Clan's hinterlands and destroyed a Territory Lord-level Black Ink Nest had definitely spread.

All of the Black Ink Clan in the Great Evolution War Zone knew about this.

Xiang Shan and the others had originally wanted to travel as fast as possible to the Black Ink Clan's King City and destroy the Royal Lord-level Black Ink Nest, but now it seemed that the Black Ink Clan's response had made this plan somewhat difficult to implement.

All of the Black Ink Clans who passed through the Feudal Lord Territory must have received the news and rushed to the King City, leaving behind only a few miscellaneous soldiers who didn't have the strength to move in the void.

It was foreseeable that when the East and West armies arrived at the King City, they would be greeted by the massive army of the Black Ink Clan.

Inside the Expelling Black Ink Battleship, Xiang Shan's expression remained the same. The Black Ink Clan's reaction was faster than expected, but this was also within his expectations, a situation that the East and West Army had intentionally created.

If they wanted to subdue the Great Evolution Pass, they would have to beat up the Black Ink Clan. Only then would the Great Evolution Army have the time and energy to make arrangements for the Great Evolution Pass, otherwise, occupying the Great Evolution Pass would be useless.

If the Black Ink Clan wanted to fight in the King City, although it would be detrimental to the East and West armies, as long as the Black Ink Clan from the Great Evolution Pass didn't cause trouble, it shouldn't be a big problem.

A scout came to report that they had discovered a Territory Lord's domain up ahead, but after some investigation, the situation in that domain was the same as the previous Territory Lord's domain they had encountered. All of the Black Ink Clans with some strength had disappeared, leaving behind only those with no strength to move in the void.

After the scout retreated, Xiang Shan opened his mouth and said, "It seems that the Black Ink Clan is indeed preparing to face our army in the King City."

Liu Zhiping nodded slightly, "Since that's the case, why don't Old Ancestor go first? The Black Ink Clan's armies should be gathering in the direction of the King City, and it will take some time for the Royal Lord to return from Great Evolution Pass to the King City. If Old Ancestor goes, we will have a chance to capture the Royal Lord-level Black Ink Nest."

Although the East and West armies were traveling at high speed, they were not as fast as the Old Ancestor.

Just as Liu Zhiping had said, the Black Ink Clan's armies should be on their way to the King City. It would take some time for them to reach the King City, and the Black Ink Clan's Royal Lord was not in the King City. If the Old Ancestor were to rush over, no one would be able to stop her.

The Old Ancestor, who was sitting next to him, smiled and said, "That's not good. Although I used the power of the Black Ink Nest to roughly determine the location of the Royal Lord's Black Ink Nest, I don't know exactly how far it is or where it is. If I go, I'll need to spend some effort to find it. Moreover, the Royal Lord of the Black Ink Clan is also on his way back to the King City. If I leave, what if the East and West Army meets him?"

Although the East and West Army had sixty Eighth Order Open Heaven and thirty thousand soldiers, they didn't need to worry about being completely wiped out by the Black Ink Clan's Royal Lord. However, without the Old Ancestor, once the Royal Lord appeared, there would definitely be heavy casualties on this side. Not to Mention, even if ten Eighth Order sacrifice their life, they might not be able to stop the Royal Lord's attack.

The Great Evolution Army only had a total of sixty thousand people, and in the future they would have to guard the Great Evolution Pass. If the losses were too great, no one would be able to bear it.

When Liu Zhiping heard this reasoning, she didn't say anything else.

Xiang Shan said, "Then we'll act according to our previous plan. Regardless of the Black Ink Clan's plan, the east and west armies will head straight for the King City. Since the Black Ink Clan wants to meet us there, we'll do as they wish."

In the war between the two races, strategy was the key to determining victory or defeat, but in the end, strength was the greatest guarantee of victory.

As soon as Xiang Shan's voice fell, the Old Ancestor, who was sitting calmly, suddenly turned her head to look in a certain direction, her bright and beautiful eyes seemingly piercing through the sky.

Immediately after, she smiled and said, "Found you!"

Xiang Shan's face went cold, "Black Ink Clan's Royal Lord?"

The Old Ancestor nodded slightly, "Yes."

"Passing by or intentionally?"

The Old Ancestor pondered for a moment before saying, "He didn't even try to conceal his aura, it seems he did it intentionally. Very clever!"

The Royal Lord was obviously worried that the Human Race's Old Ancestor would directly rush to the King City. According to the time and distance, if the Human Race's Old Ancestor really did so, he might not have the ability to stop her.

As such, after coming out of the Great Evolution Pass, although he was heading towards the King City, most of his focus was on finding the Human Race's army.

With the help of the Black Ink Nest which was spread throughout the entire war zone, it wasn't difficult for him to inquire about the movements of the Human Race's army, so he directly came to find them.

If the Human Race's Old Ancestor had not gone to the King City, it would naturally have been for the best. He would have been able to stop the Human Race's Old Ancestor halfway and allow the various armies of the Black Ink Clan to assemble.

If the Human Race's Old Ancestor really went to the King City, it would be too late for him to rush back now. At that time, the Human Race's army without the Old Ancestor would not pose much of a threat to him, so he could start a massacre and severely injure the Human Race's army to make up for his losses.

This was undoubtedly the wisest course of action. From this, it could be inferred that this Royal Lord was not a brainless person.

The Old Ancestor had obviously thought of this as well, so when Liu Zhiping had suggested that she go first, she had refused.

Saying so, the Old Ancestor stood up and said, "He's looking for me, I'll go meet him."

Xiang Shan said solemnly, "Old Ancestor, be careful!"

The Old Ancestor chuckled lightly, "He's the one who should be careful!"

Overseeing Yin Yang Pass for tens of thousands of years, she had fought countless times with the Black Ink Clan's Royal Lord. Under normal circumstances, these two supreme existence from the two clans would act appropriately. After all, they couldn't do anything to each other. Of course, there were also times when they fought until both sides suffered heavy losses and both sides had to recuperate before fighting again.

However, things were different now. If they wanted to quickly recover the Great Evolution Pass, they could only risk their lives. It could be said that the Old Ancestor had gone to fight the Black Ink Clan's Royal Lord with the intention of mutual injury.

When Xiang Shan had first come up with this plan, he had planned to lure the Black Ink Clan's Royal Lord out of the King City so that he could not use the power of the Black Ink Nest to heal himself.

But now, it seemed that this matter was no longer feasible. The Royal Lord intended to place the battlefield in the King City, so the Great Evolution Army had no way to stop him.
