Just as Luo Fu self-destructed and died, Xin Yun suddenly shivered and turned his head to look. A soul light point, twisted with five-colored radiance, flitted toward him and gently landed in his palm.
Gazing at the soul of Luo Fu, which was gradually sinking into his palm, Xin Yun sighed and turned his head back, driving the Chaos Cauldron with all his might, quickly collecting the Gold below.
As ti ticked by, after a good while... with a flash of golden light, Po Kong and Chu Rui reappeared in the cave. Chu Rui turned her head slightly and smiled at Po Kong. Xin Yun didn't say anything and continued with his task.
Gazing blankly at Xin Yun, Po Kong had many questions to ask. But now... he couldn't ask any of them. Such a colossal price had been paid that the Gold simply must not be abandoned; otherwise, how could Luo Fu's sacrifice be justified?
Finally, after spending more than half an hour, through the combined efforts of Xin Yun and Wave Valley Five Rats, a hundred mountains of Gold were completely stowed into the Chaos Cauldron. It was only then that Xin Yun took a deep breath and put away the cauldron.
Seeing that Xin Yun had finished the job, Po Kong rushed over imdiately, his eyes fixed on Xin Yun. Po Kong's first question was very direct—Is it worth it?
Confronted with Po Kong's inquiry, Xin Yun was montarily stunned, not understanding what he ant. Seeing this, Po Kong continued, "Sacrificing a talent like Luo Fu just for this Gold, do you think it's worth it?"
Hearing Po Kong's words, Xin Yun gave a wry smile, shook his head without giving much of an explanation, and reached out his hand. With a flash of five-colored radiance, a blazing white orb appeared instantly before him. The surging energy undulated for about two seconds, and soon... all the radiance converged, and with it, the upright figure of Luo Fu appeared before everyone's eyes.
Watching Luo Fu miraculously appear before him, Po Kong was dumbfounded. What was going on? Just monts before... he had witnessed Luo Fu use the Demonic Dragon Disintegration Technique and self-destruct, obliterating all enemies at once. But now, who was this?
Feeling carefully, there was no mistaking it—it was Luo Fu. Other things could be faked, but not one's spirit and soul. This was even more reliable than fingerprint identification. Fingerprints may have duplicates, but souls definitely cannot exist in duplicate. It's like there cannot simultaneously be two of ''; there is only one!
Looking at Po Kong's flabbergasted expression, Xin Yun said with a smile, "How could I abandon a comrade for so re Gold? In fact... I never planned on abandoning anything, whether it's money or companions. I won't give up either, and gaining wealth is precisely for the sake of companions."
Facing Xin Yun's words, Po Kong beca even more confused. Seeing Po Kong's perplexed expression, Xin Yun chuckled inwardly. In fact... Xin Yun would eventually have to let Po Kong know everything, only by knowing how terrifying the Sky-opening Sect was could he maximize the avoidance of the First Family getting involved. And as long as the First Family did not participate, the alliance of the Ten Great Families would not be possible to form. That was Xin Yun's goal.
Looking at Po Kong's bewildered state, Xin Yun didn't keep him in suspense any longer and said directly, "Actually, all mbers of the Sky-opening Sect are immortal; you understand what I an? Even if we die in battle, we can be instantly resurrected. So... for us, death is just going ho, nothing to be afraid of."
Hearing Xin Yun's words, Po Kong's complexion turned incredibly pale. Immortality has always been humanity's ultimate pursuit. But now, the Sky-opening Sect claid that all its mbers were immortal. If everything was true, it would be terrifying; even his First Family would inevitably beco outdated. But... could such a thing possibly exist in the world?
Facing Po Kong's astonished and skeptical expression, Xin Yun smiled and shook his head, gently patting Po Kong's shoulder, "It's indeed hard to believe... but soon you'll understand everything."
Hearing Xin Yun's words, Po Kong suddenly snapped to his senses. Indeed... this was too much to accept. But precisely because of this, when Xin Yun spoke of it so calmly, the likelihood of it being false was very small. After all... it's too easy to debunk, as in the confrontation with the Kashi Family, if soone died, it would prove Xin Yun's words were false.
Slowly lifting his head, Po Kong looked deeply at Xin Yun and said, "Why, why tell all this so openly? This should be your greatest secret!"
In response to Po Kong's questioning, Xin Yun shrugged nonchalantly, "First, although this is a secret, it can't be kept for long. Besides... I don't want to be enemies with you, nor with the First Family behind you. So... I need to reveal my capital, so that, once the Kashi Family tries to do sothing, you'll know how to choose."
Hearing Xin Yun's words, Po Kong's face showed a complex expression. At first, Xin Yun's words seed weak, equivalent to admitting fear of the First Family Po Kong belonged to. But the implication of the words that followed was quite different.
Choosing sides! Yes... Xin Yun's later words had clearly laid out the requirent for Po Kong's family to choose sides. Whether to stand with the Kashi Family or with the Sky-opening Sect, a choice had to be made!
