X-Dragon Era

But today, contrary to their expectations, Xin Yun had forcefully made his way here, and directly to the core area of the Kashi Family. Could it be... that he already possessed the power to contend with the Kashi Family?

On the other hand, seeing Xin Yun's appearance, Patriarch Carter frowned. He could clearly feel that the strength of this leader was roughly equal to his own, at the realm of a Diamond Two-Star. However... did he really think he could run wild in the Kashi Family's territory with just this level of ability? Wasn't that overconfidence?

In contemplation, Patriarch Carter subconsciously glanced toward the thirty-plus Giant Dragons behind Xin Yun. He shouldn't have looked, for upon seeing them, Patriarch Carter's expression changed shockingly. Although he couldn't clearly detect the strength of these individuals, there was no doubt they were all top-tier experts. Such an aura could only be felt from the top elders within the Family Clans.

At the same time, Xin Yun stood proudly atop Yinglong, coldly addressing the opposing Patriarch Carter, "The grudge between the Kashi Family and the Sky-opening Sect has dragged on for far too long. I've grown tired of prolonging it, so today, right here, let us settle it once and for all!"

Taking a deep breath, Carter knew that today's matter was serious. Counting carefully, there were a total of thirty-six Ten-star Experts—the overwhelming power enough to shock everyone! If they weren't cautious, the Kashi Family might not be destroyed, but it could suffer severe damage and be directly ousted from the Ten Great Families. At the same time, all the major industries occupied by the Kashi Family would likely be plundered one by one.

Taking another deep breath, Carter knew... no matter what, this battle had to be avoided at all costs. If they really fought, even if the Sky-opening Sect were defeated, the Kashi Family would be the first to suffer!

With that in mind, Carter clenched his fists tightly; conceding directly like this would clearly put them at a disadvantage, tantamount to negotiating after defeat, and there would definitely not be a good outcome. To negotiate with the Sky-opening Sect on equal footing, it was essential to intimidate the opponent, letting them know that the Kashi Family did not fear them and that a fight would be detrimental to both sides. Only by negotiating when both sides were wary would they achieve a satisfactory conclusion.

Gently relaxing his fist, Carter said in a low voice, "I really didn't expect... truly didn't expect that the Sky-opening Sect would have such formidable strength, to casually bring thirty-six Ten-star Experts. I must admit, we have underestimated you. The Sky-opening Sect is indeed a power not to be taken lightly, capable of posing a threat to any force. Nobody dares to overlook it!"

Having said that, Carter's voice suddenly deepened, brimming with murderous intent, "However, if you think you can overthrow the Kashi Family with just these forces, then you are still too naive. The strength of the Kashi Family is beyond your imagination!"

While speaking, Carter slowly raised his right hand and, with a sudden sweep, a blazing white orb of light rose and shot up high into the sky, exploding near the cloud layer with a boom.

"Thud!" Amidst the dull booming sound, in an instant, the entire sky and earth turned white, as if ten suns had risen at once, illuminating an area of a hundred miles more brightly than daylight!

"Roar! Roar! Roar..." Accompanying the light orb's brightness, fierce roaring sounds erupted from all directions. Immediately afterward... surges of powerful energy fluctuations and ferocious killing intent emerged from every direction, rapidly pressing toward this location.

Feeling the raging killing intent and formidable energy fluctuations around him, Xin Yun's face changed drastically, but he soon regained his composure. Although he had investigated a lot beforehand and prepared for the worst, he now realized that the Kashi Family was far stronger than he had initially estimated!

While Xin Yun was contemplating, dozens of agile dragon shadows sprang from all directions, and in less than a minute, over fifty Ten-star Giant Dragons had gathered!

Narrowing his eyes slightly, Xin Yun carefully counted the opposing ultimate experts—one... two... three... four... After meticulous calculation, Xin Yun's heart trembled unstoppably. Sixty-four! The Kashi Family actually had a full sixty-four Ten-star Experts. This was simply too terrifying, too outrageous!

Some might say that the current situation differed too much from Xin Yun's memories of his past life! According to his memory, there should be no Ten-star Experts at present, yet here the Kashi Family, ranked only seventh, had flaunted sixty-four Ten-star Experts. How could the gap be so huge?

In fact, Xin Yun had not remembered incorrectly. In his previous life, although he was also a high-level expert, he was of moderate to lower status, without any powerful affiliations. Many of the deeper secrets were not within his reach.

Just as Yan Qingying had said, in this regard, Xin Yun of his previous life was nothing but a frog in a well. He could understand things on the surface, but the underlying secrets of the major powers were absolutely beyond his access, he simply didn't have the qualifications.

As the torrents of Kashi Family experts made their entrances one after another, the current situation changed drastically. The comparison of Ten-star Experts reached sixty-four to thirty-six, almost double!

Observing Xin Yun's expressionless face, Carter spoke gravely, "Although your Sky-opening Sect is very powerful, our Kashi Family is definitely not weak. If we really come to blows, the Kashi Family will suffer indeed, but the losses for your Sky-opening Sect might be even more tremendous!"
