MARTIAL PEAK 5901

The Black Ink Clan's classification was different from the Human Race's. The Human Race relied on their cultivation level realm, and although the Black Ink Clan also relied on their strength to classify themselves, the division below the Feudal Lord was quite general.

For example, the Low Rank Black Ink Clan comprised all the Black Ink Clan clans equivalent to the Human Race's Low Rank, while the High Rank Black Ink Clan corresponded to the Mid Rank of the Human Race. Only when one's cultivation reached the Feudal Lord-level would they be separated into different ranks, corresponding to the Human Race's Seventh Order, the Territory Lord correspond to Eighth Order, and the Royal Lord are equivalent to the Ninth Order.

As for those below the Low Rank Black Ink Clan, they were all miscellaneous soldiers! Generally speaking, such Black Ink Clan were born not long ago from the Ink Nest and did not have much aptitude for growth. In every battle between the Human Race and Black Ink Clan, these miscellaneous soldiers died the most. They were the Black Ink Clan's cannon fodder, and their deaths would consume the strength of the Human Race. At the same time, the Ink Force that leaked from their bodies after their deaths would create an advantageous environment for the Black Ink Clan's army.

Li Wuyi didn't know how strong the entire Black Ink Clan army that had rushed over from the Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction was. After all, he couldn't investigate it too closely, but from the information he had gathered, the overall strength of this Black Ink Clan army was probably the strongest that the Human Race had ever seen, because within this army, there was an aura that could shake the heavens and move the earth. Even from a great distance, Li Wuyi could clearly feel it.

This was undoubtedly the aura of the Black Ink Clan's Pseudo-Royal Lords!

"Is there a Royal Lord?" Yang Kai asked.

Li Wuyi shook his head, "I'm not sure."

Because the Pseudo-Royal Lords couldn't control their own strength, they couldn't restrain their auras, but the Royal Lords could, so even if there was a Royal Lord in this Black Ink Clan army, Li Wuyi wouldn't be able to detect them.

After pondering for a moment, Yang Kai said, "You guys hide well, I'll go take a look."

Li Wuyi immediately nodded, "Then be careful."

He was well aware of Yang Kai's abilities, so there was nothing to worry about. In addition, with the help of Thunder Shadow's Natal Divine Ability, it could be said that no one in this world was more suited to obtain information than Yang Kai.

In the next moment, he activated Thunder Shadow's Natal Divine Ability and concealed his figure and aura as he flew towards the rapidly advancing Ink Tide.

From afar, this Ink Tide was extremely vast, and after approaching it, one could feel its magnificence.

A moment later, Yang Kai arrived at the side of the Black Ink Clan's army, only tens of thousands of kilometers away. This distance was actually quite close, but also a safe distance.

Before knowing whether or not this Black Ink Clan army had a Royal Lord-level master, this was already the limit. If he continued forward, even with the support of Thunder Shadow's Natal Divine Ability, the Black Ink Clan might become vigilant.

The Ink Tide quickly flowed across Yang Kai's field of vision, causing him to be secretly shocked.

From a distance, Yang Kai only knew that there were many Pseudo-Royal Lords in this Black Ink Clan army, but it was difficult to estimate exactly how many there were. However, at such a close distance, Yang Kai could clearly feel them.

There were almost three hundred Pseudo-Royal Lords!

With an army of tens of millions and three hundred Pseudo-Royal Lords, such a ratio was comparable to the peak of the No-Return Pass.

Not only were there Pseudo-Royal Lords, but there were also many Innate Territory Lords and even ordinary Territory Lords, as well as a large number of Feudal Lords.

Yang Kai didn't even see the existence of a Low Rank Black Ink Clan from this Black Ink Clan army, all of them were above the High Rank Black Ink Clan!

This discovery made his heart sink.

The Black Ink Clan army in front of them could be called an elite army, the most elite army the Human Race had ever seen.

Even if the one in the No-Return Pass couldn't compare.

Was there a Royal Lord? Yang Kai continued to observe. The reason he had come here personally to investigate the situation was because he wanted to understand this matter.

This matter was of utmost importance to the future of the Human Race!

Although the auras emitted by the Pseudo-Royal Lords were almost the same as those of the real Royal Lords, if one observed carefully, they would still be able to distinguish some traces.

In terms of the strength of their auras, the Pseudo-Royal Lord and the Royal Lord were almost the same, but the aura of the Pseudo-Royal Lord fluctuated greatly, unlike the real Royal Lords.

For someone like Yang Kai, who often interacted with the Black Ink Clan's Royal Lords and Pseudo-Royal Lords, it was only natural for him to recognize them at a glance.

Several tens of thousands of kilometers away, he maintained the same speed as the Black Ink Clan's army, constantly observing.

After half a day, Yang Kai finally finished his inspection, but he couldn't find any trace of a Royal Lord.

Still not reassured, Yang Kai closed the distance between himself and the Black Ink Clan's army and deliberately released a trace of his aura to ensure that even if a Royal Lord noticed this aura, he could immediately conceal it.

After a while, Yang Kai finally relaxed.

He could confirm that this Black Ink Clan army don't have a true Royal Lord, causing him to let out a long sigh.

From the looks of it, the situation was not as bad as he had thought. The Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction had not completely collapsed.

Because if the Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction were to completely collapse, the Black Ink Clan would not be sending a Pseudo-Royal Lord, but a real Royal Lord!

The fact that there wasn't a true Royal Lord amongst the tens of millions of Black Ink Clan army here undoubtedly proved this point.

However, it was undeniable that there was something wrong with the Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction, something similar to when the Innate Territory Lords had escaped last time…

Looking at the massive Ink Tide passing by him, Yang Kai suppressed the killing intent in his heart and quietly returned.

Although he could launch a sudden attack and catch this Black Ink Clan army off guard, he was still alone. Even if Li Wuyi and the others nearby came to support him, how much damage could they cause to this Black Ink Clan army?

However, once he took action here, the news would definitely spread to the No-Return Pass. At that time, the advantage of 'the Human Race has already discovered the movements of these Black Ink Clan reinforcements' would disappear.

This group of Black Ink Clan reinforcements would take at least ten years to arrive, so there was no need to disturb them.

Returning to Li Wuyi's side, Yang Kai said, "The matter of setting up the Space Array will be delayed for now. Void Guard, keep an eye on the movements of these Black Ink Clan reinforcements."

"Yes!" Li Wuyi replied solemnly.

"Also, leave a few people here to continue monitoring."

Li Wuyi quickly understood Yang Kai's thoughts, "Are you worried that there are other Black Ink Clan reinforcements on their way?"

Right now, the Human Race only had one group of Black Ink Clan reinforcements, but no one could guarantee that there wouldn't be more. Leaving behind some people here to monitor the situation was undoubtedly a guarantee.

Yang Kai nodded, "That's right, other than that… I need you to go to the Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction and investigate the situation."

If possible, Yang Kai wanted to personally investigate it, but even though the Void Guard had already traveled about seventy to eighty percent of the way, this place was still quite far from the Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction. With Yang Kai's speed, it would probably take him several months to return.

The battle in the No-Return Pass was still ongoing, it didn't matter if he disappeared for a few days. Mi Jinglun could still control the situation and give him time and space to return to the Spatial Territort, but a few months was too long, so it was hard to say if Mo Na Ye wouldn't think of something.

In just a few days, no matter how shrewd Mo Na Ye was, he would never have imagined that Yang Kai had already run to this position and met the Black Ink Clan's reinforcements.

After all, the existence of the Void Guard was a secret to the Black Ink Clan.

"Good," Li Wuyi nodded.

"Be careful on the road," Yang Kai warned.

Li Wuyi chuckled lightly, "Although your current cultivation is higher than mine, I am still a Senior, so don't underestimate me."

Yang Kai was speechless, "I don't mean that."

"I know," Li Wuyi smiled casually, "Then I'll take my leave first."

Saying so, he activated his teleportation technique and disappeared.

After he left, Yang Kai gave a few more instructions to the Void Guard soldiers before returning to the nearest Universe Temple.

Many Void Guard soldiers came forward to greet him, and Yang Kai informed them of the mission to monitor the situation in the nearby void, all of them accepting the orders.

After everything was settled, Yang Kai used the Space Array to teleport back to the No-Return Pass.

No-Return Pass, the battle continued. Above the No-Return Pass, Mo Na Ye paid close attention to every subtle change in the battlefield, unable to dispel the doubts in his heart.

After four months, the Human Race had once again launched an attack on the No-Return Pass, a move that had broken the established rules and tacit understanding between the two races. He couldn't figure out what the Human Race was up to, but judging from the current situation, everything seemed normal.

The Human Race was attacking normally, while the Black Ink Clan was defending normally, just like the previous battles. However, Mo Na Ye felt as if there was a layer of fog covering his heart. After that fog was the truth he couldn't figure out, but no matter how much he thought about it, he couldn't get rid of it.

This was the reason for the lack of information. The Human Race had already used the Void Guard to observe the movements of the Black Ink Clan's reinforcements, but the Black Ink Clan had thought that they had hidden themselves well. Even if Mo Na Ye was as shrewd as a ghost, he would never have imagined that the Human Race would actually have a special organization like the Void Guard. Moreover, the Human Race had long ago sent the Void Guard to set up a Space Array that led to the Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction.

He also wouldn't have thought that the reason the Human Race launched this seventh attack was because Mi Jinglun wanted to inform Yang Kai of the Void Guard's discovery, he didn't have any deep intentions.

Mo Na Ye's first impression was that the Human Race was plotting something, so the more he thought about it, the worse it became.

However, the only thing he could think of was that this matter was related to Yang Kai.

Because after this battle had begun, Yang Kai had disappeared without a trace. At first, many of the Black Ink Clan's Pseudo-Royal Lords had been secretly on guard against him suddenly appearing, but after several days, many good opportunities for sneak attacks had appeared, but Yang Kai had never appeared.

The Black Ink Clan had no idea where he had gone!

Mo Na Ye had also been paying close attention to the situation at Pure Yang Pass. In the past, whenever there was a big battle, Yang Kai would run over to Mi Jinglun's side to secretly communicate with him, but this time, he also didn't appear at Pure Yang Pass…
