X-Dragon Era

Though Po Kong was a Martial Artist, it definitely didn't mean he was foolish, especially with his upbringing, which made him think of many things in an instant and understand Xin Yun's thoughts.

As for the Top Family, Xin Yun wasn't really afraid. In fact, given the current situation of the Sky-opening Sect, there was absolutely no need to fear anyone. However, not being afraid didn't mean they wouldn't be greatly troubled and annoyed if the Ten Great Families were to unite and suppress them. After all, even if the Sky-opening Sect was strong, they couldn't possibly kill everyone in the world, could they?

Opposing the Ten Great Families at the same time was definitely foolish. It wasn't a matter of fear, but of worth. If it could be avoided, why let it happen?

Ultimately, if the Top Family chose to stand with the Kashi Family, the Sky-opening Sect wouldn't be afraid, but it would certainly be very uncomfortable. The bank plan would have to be shelved, and under the joint suppression of the Ten Great Families, the Sky-opening Sect wouldn't be able to accomplish anything or control any city.

Therefore, Xin Yun made no secrets to Po Kong, laying out his assets openly, with the intent of telling the Top Family that although the Sky-opening Sect was still weak now, its rise was just a matter of time. You could be my enemy now, but if you really made that choice, it would be tantamount to digging your own grave. The day when the Sky-opening Sect became powerful would be the day of the Top Family's demise – and the Kashi Family was the best precedent!

Gazing intently at Xin Yun, in just a moment, Po Kong thought of many, many things. Immortality, coupled with the talent and potential of the five giants of the Sky-opening Sect, was truly terrifying. Although, for now, with the power of his family, it was possible to pressure the Sky-opening Sect, it wouldn't be long before Xin Yun and others reached Diamond Ten Stars. By then, facing a group of immortal Diamond Ten-star Experts, even the Top Family would have no good outcome.

It could be said that once the Top Family chose to be enemies with the Sky-opening Sect, they could suppress it for a while, but you have to realize that this so-called suppression could only be temporary. Once the Sky-opening Sect grew, they could suppress the Top Family forever! They could even be wiped from the face of the world, and this wasn't an exaggeration.

Thinking of this, Po Kong took a deep breath and looked deeply at Xin Yun, saying, "I will go back and discuss this matter with my family. Personally, I hope we can always be friends."

In response to Po Kong's words, Xin Yun nodded in satisfaction and said, "If that can really happen, then that would be the best outcome. In any case, Brother Po Kong is someone I admire, and I don't wish to be your enemy, regardless of interests."

Hearing Xin Yun's words, Po Kong was slightly surprised, then smiled warmly. Actually, he felt the same way. Although they hadn't voiced it, Po Kong had already considered Xin Yun a friend in his heart, and he could sense that Xin Yun sincerely regarded him as a friend too.

It wasn't just a simple friendship; Po Kong could even sense that Xin Yun looked up to him with a bit of admiration, even though it was strange and somewhat inexplicable. But Po Kong was confident he wasn't mistaken. As the heir to the Top Family, if he lacked the ability to judge people, he might as well be dead.

In the following nine days, the Stellar War Generals struck nine consecutive times. By the time the Kashi Family finally received the news that their vaults had been robbed, the Ten Great Vaults belonging to the Kashi Family had been completely emptied.

The reason for such splendid results was based on a new battle strategy developed after the first fight, taking the situation at the time into account. It definitely wouldn't have been possible to plunder the Ten Great Vaults in ten days if they continued to fight as they had in the first battle.

Due to the great distances, the transmission of information was very slow, and without good communication facilities, the other vaults simply couldn't be informed in time. Thus, when they were being plundered by the Sky-opening Sect, they thought they were the first to be attacked, sending urgent messages to the family. But by the time the messages reached the Kashi Family, ten days had passed, and the Sky-opening Sect had already completed their planned heist of gold.

Except for the first time, Xin Yun led Yi Luo Xiang and Yan Qingying, along with Ming Xuan, directly into the vault caves, then collapsed the caves as they went. Luo Fu, in turn, led the 108 Stellar War Generals to defend the entrance. If they encountered Diamond-rank enemies, they would fight if possible, or drag it out if not. Although they might not defeat a Diamond-rank Expert, destruction is easy while construction is hard. Forcing an opening to the inner reaches of a mountain would not be possible for a Diamond-rank Expert in a short time either.

After ten days of intense combat, the Kashi Family suffered severe damage. The loss of Diamond-rank Experts was substantial, with those above Diamond Three Stars managing to save their lives, but those below Diamond Three Stars lost over a hundred. The losses of Amethyst-rank Experts were in the tens of thousands!

On the surface, losing a hundred Diamond-rank Experts might not seem much for a large Family Clan with tens of thousands of these experts, and indeed, that's the case. But people can be lost, yet the loss of gold was truly staggering!
