X-Dragon Era

After showering each other with compliments for a while, Xin Yun collected his smile and spoke earnestly, "Well, we've had enough pleasantries. Now... we must seriously consider our next battle."

Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, the Ten Elders' expressions turned serious. At the same time, Xin Yun continued, "According to the intelligence, the number of Ten-star Experts on the other side is feared to be around fifty. At most, we only have twice their number. In this case, our original plan may need to be revised."

Hearing Xin Yun's words, the Ten Elders nodded in agreement. Then... the Great Elder, frowning, said, "Indeed, one hundred against fifty is a huge difference compared to one hundred against ten. Wiping them all out now seems unlikely. Moreover... if we do not employ the right strategy, we stand a good chance of losing."

Taking a deep breath, Xin Yun gravely said, "Originally, we planned to avoid reducing our numbers in battle, but under the current circumstances, we must alter our plan. You all understand that if we allow these individuals to slip through our net, the Sky-opening Sect might not suffer much, and it's no big deal for the minor households with no entanglements. However, the Cangqiong Family will be in serious trouble. They would inevitably suffer immense losses due to these escapees."

"This..." Hearing Xin Yun's words, the Ten Elders frowned in unison. Indeed... if the enemy had escapees, the Sky-opening Sect wouldn't suffer much, but the Cangqiong Family would have trouble. The thousands of cities under their control would inevitably be plundered by the enemy.

"What do you mean?" After pondering for a good while, the Great Elder cautiously looked at Xin Yun and asked.

Taking another deep breath, Xin Yun declared, "Now that it has come to this, it's not impossible to achieve a complete annihilation. However... the plan must definitely be changed. Everyone participating in this battle will likely not survive. Only by initiating the Demonic Dragon Disintegration Technique can we achieve our goal of annihilation!"

"Oh!" Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, the Great Elder's eyes narrowed. After a long pause, he suddenly nodded and said, "Alright, let's hear your plan. If it's feasible, I will agree."

After hearing the Great Elder's words, Xin Yun gestured for the Ten Elders to gather around, and then... Xin Yun started whispering. As he spoke, the Ten Elders gradually lit up with understanding, nodding incessantly.

At the core area of the Kashi Family...

Inside a dilapidated building, Ka Men looked out of the window at the sky, at the distant mountains, his eyes full of confusion. Behind him, an elderly woman was coughing violently, constantly thumping her own back with her hands in an attempt to stop the coughs.

If time could be reversed, Ka Men would absolutely not attempt to provoke Xin Yun. But now, it was all too late. Over the past three to four years, the ambitions of the Sky-opening Sect were advancing every day, causing devastating strikes to the Kashi Family—the losses were indescribable.

Having committed such a serious error, Ka Men's father could not escape responsibility. Especially Kaso, who directly caused the disaster, was executed by the Family Clans. Someone had to take responsibility for such tremendous losses suffered by the Family.

As for Ka Men's family, although they were not executed, they were permanently expelled from the Family's power structures due to the great losses they caused. They were no longer fit to manage the Family's rights. The only reason they weren't killed was to avoid giving the Sky-opening Sect the satisfaction. Whatever the Sky-opening Sect loathed must be liked and protected by the Kashi Family. Otherwise, as a direct cause of the disaster, Ka Men would probably have already been executed.

As for Speedy Slash and Ke Zhan, they had left as soon as Ka Men was demoted. They were not willing to follow a person with no future prospects and instead chose to follow Ka Men's clan cousin—Ka Ka!

"Ka Ka?" That seems like a familiar name, right? Indeed... in fact, Ka Ka was one of the Kashi Family's branches. But now, they had become the ruling branch, wielding enormous power, especially Ka Ka, who had become the future successor of the Kashi Family!

On the day of betrayal, Ka Men finally understood Xin Yun's frustration. He should have foreseen that if they could betray Xin Yun, they could also betray him. Ka Ka merely had to beckon, and they followed him obsequiously, not even saying goodbye to Ka Men.

Retribution? Maybe... However, Ka Men knew that if this were indeed retribution, it was only the beginning. Although he couldn't pinpoint the reason, Ka Men always had a premonition that Suo Jia's ambition wouldn't end so easily. Something terrible was waiting for them.

"Hm?" Lost in thought, Ka Men suddenly rubbed his eyes and looked towards the distant horizon. Under the cover of night, the sky on the other side seemed to darken, a swath of stars obscured by something. On closer inspection, the outlines of stars revealed the terrifying silhouettes of Giant Dragons!

Dong! Dong! Dong...

The next moment, the intense sound of bells echoed violently. Amidst the fierce bell ringing, countless bursts of light came to life, and figures burst out of the buildings. Then... the silhouettes of Giant Dragons soared into the sky.

After a slight hesitation, Ka Men leapt onto the windowsill and jumped down from the fourth floor. Simultaneously, a glow flickered in mid-air, and a Giant Dragon roared forth, catching Ka Men and taking to the skies.
