“The Old Ancestor is wounded,” Before Yang Kai could inquire about the matter, Zhong Liang took the initiative to explain.

Yang Kai was taken aback! Someone with the title ‘Old Ancestor’ could only be a Ninth-Order Open Heaven Realm Master. How could a person like that be wounded!? In the next moment though, he quickly understood, “Was the Old Ancestor injured during the battle with the Black Ink Royal Lord?”

The only one who could harm an Old Ancestor was a Royal Lord from the Black Ink Clan. It would seem that the disturbance caused by the Old Ancestor’s attack that Yang Kai sensed previously when he was in the Black Ink Clan’s territory had belonged to the Old Ancestor of Blue Sky Pass.

Not long after the attack, the Royal Lord had led the Black Ink Clan army in pursuit of the Human army. He probably exchanged blows with the Old Ancestor at the time, which resulted in the Old Ancestor being injured in the process.

Zhong Liang nodded, “The Old Ancestor might be wounded, but that Royal Lord is in no better condition. We have no idea where the enemy’s leader is hiding to treat his wounds at the moment. For the time being, we will have to see who between them recovers first. That will determine the outcome of this battle!”

The strongest combatants on both sides had been injured and were busy recuperating; otherwise, their presence would definitely have been seen on the battlefield. In any case, the one who recovered first would obtain the absolute advantage. That was the reason why Zhong Liang could not be sure whether Yang Kai could gain an audience with the Old Ancestor right now. If this matter was not urgent, Zhong Liang would not have even considered disturbing the Old Ancestor at a time like this; after all, it was extremely important for the Old Ancestor to recover from his wounds. It was just that Yang Kai’s ability to purify Black Ink Strength was also extremely important, so they had to report this matter to the Old Ancestor as soon as possible.

There was a solitary mountain in the middle of Blue Sky Pass that towered high into the clouds. On top of the solitary mountain stood a majestic palace. That was the place where the Old Ancestor cultivated in retreat. He normally lived here in seclusion and rarely revealed himself without a reason.

Flight was not prohibited inside the Inner Sanctum, and it did not take long for Zhong Liang to guide Yang Kai to the palace located at the top of the solitary mountain. There were several figures standing guard outside the palace, and each one of them had a profound aura. Even the weakest among them was in the Seventh-Order Open Heaven Realm. There was also an Eighth-Order Ancestor standing guard in the open, right before the doors, just in case an accident occurred.

Upon detecting movement, the Eighth-Order Ancestor, who had been sitting down cross-legged and resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes slightly and stood up to block their path.

“Senior Brother Sun!” Zhong Liang stepped forward in greeting.

Senior Brother Sun nodded lightly. Glancing at Yang Kai who was following behind Zhong Liang curiously, he asked, “Junior Brother Zhong, what is so urgent for you to come here?”

As Eighth-Order Open Heaven Realm Ancestors, Senior Brother Sun believed that Zhong Liang knew better and would not come here at this time unless there was something important.

“I have something to report to the Old Ancestor!” Zhong Liang replied. Stepping forward, he secretly explained the situation in detail to Senior Brother Sun via transmission.

At first, Senior Brother Sun listened with an indifferent expression, but it didn’t take long before his eyes contracted in astonishment. He turned to stare at Yang Kai in shock and anxiously asked, “Is that possible!?”

Zhong Liang nodded solemnly, “Feng Ying told me herself. Besides, those hundreds of people have already entered the Inner Sanctum. The information is trustworthy.”

Senior Brother Sun frowned, “Didn’t you verify the truth with your own eyes?”

Zhong Liang asked, “How do we verify this matter?”

Senior Brother Sun pondered in silence for a moment, “Capture a Black Ink Disciple and bring them back.”
