X-Dragon Era

Shaking his head, Po Kong took a sip of tea before speaking leisurely, "Well, there's no need for you to rush in figuring that out. Just let things take their natural course. When it's time for you to understand, everything will become clear, won't it?"

Suddenly looking up, Xin Yun stared dumbfounded at Po Kong, not waiting for him to regain his senses before Po Kong, with a smile, said, "All right, let's not beat around the bush. You didn't come here just to talk about these things, did you? After all, we're friends now, right? If there's something on your mind, just say it. As long as I can help, I won't refuse!"

Listening to Po Kong's words, Xin Yun finally snapped out of it. Yes... today's visit was for an important matter; how had he gotten sidetracked with Po Kong?

Shaking his head, Xin Yun collected his thoughts and then asserted decisively, "Okay, I won't beat around the bush either. The reason I'm here... actually, I want to discuss with you the possibility of joining forces to completely destroy the Kashi Family!"

"What!" Hearing Xin Yun's words, Po Kong stood up in alarm, looking at Xin Yun incredulously, "Have you lost your mind? Do you even realize what you're saying!"

Unperturbed by Po Kong's alarm, Xin Yun leaned back in his chair and casually said, "What's wrong? Did I scare you? I think... you should trust your own ears."

"It's not that…" Shaking his head vehemently, Po Kong sat back down, frowning, "You don't understand the situation. Although our Cangqiong Family is the top family and the Kashi Family is only seventh, if we were to actually fight, the Kashi Family would surely lose, but our Cangqiong Family would also suffer devastating losses, no longer able to hold onto the top position. So… it's not that I don't want to help you, it's simply an impossible task."

"Heh…" Smiling and shaking his head, Xin Yun spoke confidently, "I know all that, but think about it. If I didn't have some ability, would I come to you?"

"This..." Hearing Xin Yun's words, Po Kong fell silent. Although he hadn't had much interaction with Xin Yun, he was well aware of Xin Yun's character. Despite seeming reckless at times, in the end, Xin Yun never encountered any mishap, always having the capacity to instantly turn the situation around.

Observing Po Kong deep in thought, Xin Yun continued, "Actually, the reason why I came to you is not to ask for help. It's because of our friendship—I don't want others to benefit from the situation. Otherwise, no matter whom I approached, they would agree to support me. Moreover… with my assistance, their positions would surely rise sharply, even potentially toppling you from the first family's throne!"

"That's not possible…" Faced with Xin Yun's words, Po Kong stood up again, raising his voice in protest.

Ignoring Po Kong's roar, Xin Yun couldn't be bothered to lift his head, leisurely drinking the green tea, making a sipping sound. Xin Yun knew that Po Kong would eventually understand; his judgment was currently clouded by the aura of being from the top family.

Sure enough, after stiffly standing there for a while, Po Kong's eyes lit up, then he slowly sat back down and probed, "You're planning to use that ability that can resurrect the dead, aren't you?"

Facing Po Kong's question, Xin Yun finally set down his teacup, smiled, and nodded, "That's right, that's it. So, what do you think... do we have a chance?"

"This..." Hesitating as he sat back down, Po Kong frowned and began pondering. If it were indeed possible to instantly resurrect fallen experts, then it wouldn't just be about destroying one family clan; destroying all of them would be as easy as playing a game.

In his contemplation, Po Kong cautiously said, "However, there's no resurrection without a price, right? Don't tell me everyone can come back without losing anything. If we're going to talk, you'd better clarify what the consequences are right now. You know what I mean."

Frowning, Xin Yun earnestly said, "Of course, there are losses. As of now, my Fountain of Youth doesn't allow the resurrected to recover their full strength. At present, the level I can control is Purple Crystal One Star, which is equivalent to my own level of strength."

"What! This..." Hearing Xin Yun's words, Po Kong stood up once more. Seeing this, Xin Yun continued without waiting for Po Kong to speak, "Don't worry, although the resurrected can only possess the strength of a Purple Crystal One Star, that's just for now. Within the next three years, I will spare no effort to reach the Diamond Tier, and by that time, I will be able to elevate the strength of all the resurrected to the Diamond Tier."

Shaking his head vehemently, Po Kong exclaimed loudly, "You don't understand. To destroy the Kashi Family, you need to deploy at least a hundred Diamond Ten Stars experts. Otherwise, if they are determined to flee, you simply can't stop them."

Pausing slightly, Po Kong continued, "And if we push them into a corner, they will definitely use the Demonic Dragon Disintegration Technique. Even though we could kill them, our Diamond Tier experts would probably suffer major losses. If there are only twenty or thirty Diamond Ten Stars left, there's no way we could maintain our position as the top family. Do you understand now?"

"This..." Hearing Po Kong's words, Xin Yun frowned. He had thought things through quite thoroughly before coming here, but now he realized that his preparations had still not been comprehensive enough, overlooking too many details.
