X-Dragon Era

Facing the news delivered by Po Kong, the entire upper echelon of the Cangqiong Family was shaken. They had harbored some crooked thoughts about Xin Yun, who was a BUG-like existence, but before figuring out Xin Yun's true abilities, they dared not act on them.

If they could successfully overpower Xin Yun, that would be fine, but if not, given Xin Yun's strange and immortal abilities, anyone who offended him would be essentially booking the last train to hell. Even the most powerful families absolutely could not bear such consequences.

Not to mention, the Kashi Family was a precedent. One couldn't say the Kashi Family wasn't powerful, even if the top-ranking Cangqiong Family wanted to destroy them, they would be left half-crippled. If they couldn't be revived, the loss of so many experts would potentially drop the Cangqiong Family from first to at least sixth place overnight, and being suppressed to the point of being unable to raise their heads again was not out of the question, after all... over the years, they had offended too many.

As for the secret to Xin Yun's immortality, outsiders still had no clue, but it was clear to anyone that Xin Yun wasn't worried about being coveted. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to provoke the Kashi Family. For Xin Yun, whether it was the Kashi Family or the Cangqiong Family, it was all the same; there was no difference. Since he dared to offend the Kashi Family, he would naturally dare to offend the Cangqiong Family as well.

Therefore, all crooked thoughts were quickly dismissed unless there was absolute certainty. Otherwise, an enemy like Xin Yun must not be antagonized; the thought of a group of immortal, endlessly reviving, diamond Ten-star Experts growing in power was chilling to contemplate.

Since they didn't dare to harm Xin Yun for the time being, the next thing to consider was whether to accept Xin Yun's request for cooperation. After only a short discussion, everyone immediately reached a unanimous decision: they must cooperate!

The reason for such a decision was actually quite simple. If they didn't cooperate with Xin Yun and let him ally with other families, then the Cangqiong Family's throne as the number one family would inevitably be replaced within ten years, a scenario unacceptable to everyone. It was harder than dying to climb to the top only to be forced down again.

Although this cooperation might impact the throne of the number one family, it was not necessarily inevitable; it could just lead to a series of turbulences. Even if they temporarily lost the top spot, as long as they waited a year for the experts to regain their strength, everything would be fine again. With the strength of the number one family, no one could take that throne away.

Furthermore, with the support of Xin Yun's annual supply of one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, within at most ten years, the Cangqiong Family would undoubtedly become the irreplaceable number one family!

Moreover, if they won this battle, then all the gold mines belonging to the Golden Family would be theirs. Just persist through the toughest year, and the future of the Cangqiong Family would be incredibly bright—with ample personnel and wealth, it would be the coveted dynasty everyone had dreamt of for so many years!

Last and most important, Xin Yun's momentum was too fierce. Such a person, before their depth is understood, can only be befriended, not antagonized. Through this event, regardless of the outcome, the Sky-opening Sect would owe the Cangqiong Family a favor. Utilizing this event to improve relations with the Sky-opening Sect, even a fool would know the benefits that would entail.

Some might argue, isn't the Cangqiong Family worried that Xin Yun will rise too quickly and in turn destroy them? In reality... such concerns do not exist. If it were possible to seize Xin Yun's secret, that would be best, but becoming friends or even allies, is also a very good choice.

Although the Cangqiong Family is the number one family, they are not invincible. Correspondingly, there is also the number one gang, sect, clan, religion, and leading power... a series of formidable organizations. Take the Demon Dragon Clan as an example, they are an ancient power that stands above the Cangqiong Family and one that no one dares to offend lightly.

This Primordial World is really too vast, boundless. Even the so-called number one is only limited to this area. The universe is endless. No one knows how many similar powerful organizations and forces exist. Therefore... there's no need to worry about others being too strong and destroying oneself, as long as what Xin Yun is building is not another family. Clans and families are by nature different domains, and although they might involve intersecting interests, they are not contradictory; in fact, they can be complementary.

In the following week, Xin Yun met with the top brass of the Cangqiong Family for a series of negotiations. In the end... the outcome of the negotiations was that the Cangqiong Family would send a hundred diamond Ten-star Experts to launch an assault on the Kashi Family in three years, aiming to capture all core members of the Kashi Family in one fell swoop and completely annihilate them.

In exchange for so much, the Cangqiong Family's gains were also very substantial. Starting now and for the next ten years, Xin Yun would provide the Cangqiong Family with one hundred thousand Spirit Stones annually. With this, the Cangqiong Family would gain ten new diamond Ten-star Experts each year, and after ten years, the number of these experts would double!
