"Naturally, it's me!"

The three family heads spoke simultaneously.

Their eyes burned with fervor.

They say treasures move hearts, and wealth ensnares souls.

Overlord Body Inheritance!

Only those of a certain status and position truly understood how precious such a thing was.

At this moment, Nangong Xiangtian slowly said, "I also don't know who to give it to, but my Nangong Family cannot afford to offend any of your three families."

"Why don't the three of you discuss a result, and then we can sit down and talk in detail?"

Chen Ping, the Chen Family Head, was the first to speak.

"Didn't Brother Li say earlier that the two of us are his closest friends? As the saying goes, a gentleman helps others achieve their goals."

"Brother Li, you shouldn't contend with us for this Overlord Body Inheritance, should you?"

Li Yianan laughed in extreme anger, "As the saying goes, even close brothers settle their accounts clearly."

"For such a divine item, let alone close friends, even one's own parents cannot be yielded to."

Wang Dong spoke at the opportune moment, "There's no need to argue. I am determined to obtain the Overlord Body Inheritance."

"Anyone who tries to lay claim to the Overlord Body Inheritance will be an enemy of the Wang Family."

These words immediately displeased Chen Ping and Li Yianan.

Chen Ping turned his attack, sneering, "Brother Wang, your Wang Family is strong, but how could my Chen Family and Li Family be easy to deal with?"

"By saying that, are you not putting our two families in your eyes?"

Li Yianan likewise chimed in, "Indeed!"

"Brother Chen, why don't our two families join forces, first eliminate the Wang Family, and with one less competitor, then discuss the ownership of the Overlord Body Inheritance? How about that?"

These words made Chen Ping's heart pound.

The scene was exceptionally lively.

The three family heads, vying for the Overlord Body Inheritance, were staging a drama of three wolves competing.

Seeing that the Chen and Li families were about to form an alliance, Wang Dong, the Wang Family Head, laughed loudly, "Chen Ping, Li Yianan, you two old scoundrels, stop joking."

"With your tendency to stab others in the back, can you truly trust each other?"

"An alliance is nothing but a joke!"

"If you ask me, why be so indecisive!"

"In the cultivation world, the strong are respected. Why not fight a real battle?"

"Whoever can claim the title, the Overlord Body Inheritance will belong to them?"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the other two moved.

Li Yianan smiled, "We are all people of status and position; how can fighting and killing be proper?"

"However…"

As he spoke, he directly made his move.

He unleashed a palm strike, and countless palm shadows flew, instantly erupting with the powerful strength unique to the Earth Profound Realm, directly attacking Wang Dong.

Accompanying it was Li Yianan's cold and ruthless voice.

"Since Brother Wang has this suggestion, then I suppose I must risk my life to accompany a gentleman today."

"Boom…"

Terrifying palm shadows emerged, like mountains and peaks, causing the entire hall to tremble.

"Good timing!"

Wang Dong roared!

His body moved, and his blood qi surged like a mighty river.

He swung his fist with a single hand.

His fist carried immense power.

As the two collided, a heaven-shaking explosion occurred at the scene.

Terrifying energy ripples radiated out, even blowing away half of the main hall.

It was fortunate that the high-ranking members of the Nangong Family were not weak in strength and were not greatly affected.

If it had been ordinary family disciples present, just that one blow would have left them half-dead, even if it didn't kill them.

During their struggle, Wang Dong's arrogant laughter accompanied it: "Li Yianan, you old scoundrel, you say you don't want it, but your actions are more ruthless than anyone else!"

"I've long been fed up with your hypocritical nature."

"Today, let me see if your strength has improved over the years!"

"Bang…"

As he spoke, the two once again engaged in a fierce confrontation.

The conflict between two Earth Profound Realm powerhouses was undoubtedly terrifying.

Every move and every strike carried heaven-shaking power.

Surging Mystic Realm energy ran wild, like two humanoid tyrannosaurs fighting.

The high-ranking members of the Nangong Family retreated, leaving them ample space to unleash their power.

Chen Ping, observing the two locked in a fierce battle, wanted to seize the opportunity to deliver a heavy blow to them.

However, he was met with a joint attack from both of them.

In an instant, the three were in a chaotic melee.

It seemed as if they were about to overturn the entire Nangong Family!

"Family Head, what should we do?"

Outside the battlefield!

A Nangong Family elder anxiously spoke.

Nangong Xiangtian's face showed no discernible emotion.

"Let the three major first-rate family heads fight among themselves."

"My Nangong Family can still afford a little damage to the premises."

One could say that during the great battle, Wang, Chen, and Li, the three family heads, vividly taught everyone a lesson on what it means to be cunning.

Initially, it was two against one.

In an instant, the two who had been cooperating turned against each other, striking secretly.

The entire hall was directly reduced to dust in their clash.

The three fought from the ground to the high sky, and then from the high sky to the underground.

As far as the eye could see, the entire world was their battlefield.

After fighting for a long time, there was still no hope of a clear victor.

"Stop!"

Seeing the battle fall into a stalemate, Li Yianan, the Li Family Head, was the first to call for a halt.

He pondered for a moment, then spoke in a serious tone, "Gentlemen, if we continue fighting like this, we won't be able to determine a winner anytime soon."

"This is clearly a trap set by that old fellow, Nangong, wanting us to fight among ourselves like dogs."

"We mustn't fall for his cunning scheme!"

Wang Dong, the Wang Family Head, coldly said, "Even if it is a scheme, what of it? Are you saying you don't want that Overlord Body Inheritance?"

Li Yianan continued, "Wanting it is one thing, but fighting like this isn't a solution."

"It's even very likely that we'll all end up injured, allowing others to take advantage for free."

"How about this?"

"Let's all take a step back."

"Today's matter will end here."

"In the future, when contending for the Overlord Body Inheritance, we'll rely on our own methods. What do you think?"

It must be said that the three were close in strength.

Even if Wang Dong was clearly a bit stronger than the other two, he couldn't gain any advantage under their combined assault.

He immediately said, "Since that's the case, let's end it here today."

"We'll settle the score another day and determine who is superior."

The three quickly reached a consensus.

They glanced at the Nangong Family's direction, then at each other. All three knew that there would be no outcome today, and they tacitly retreated for the time being.

Seeing this, the high-ranking members of the Nangong Family finally let out a long sigh of relief.

"These three troublesome stars have finally left!"

However, while feeling relieved, everyone also felt a sense of powerlessness and urgency.

The three major first-rate family heads had only come to demand it this time.

Next time they came, it might be a forceful seizure.

With the Nangong Family's strength, let alone contending with all three families, they couldn't even stand against any single first-rate power.

Originally, when they first heard that the family had obtained the Overlord Body Inheritance, they were ecstatic.

But now it seemed that this item was a hot potato!

With the Nangong Family's strength, they simply lacked the ability to protect the Overlord Body Inheritance.

"Family Head, if this Overlord Body Inheritance remains in the family, it might bring great disaster to the entire Nangong Family!"

An elder spoke cautiously to Nangong Xiangtian.

How could Nangong Xiangtian not be aware of the dangers involved?

But this item was something he had obtained with great difficulty, after going through countless hardships.

To just give it away like this, he was truly unwilling.

He looked at the dilapidated ruins.

This seemed to foreshadow the fate of the Nangong Family.

He sighed, saying, "For now, we can only take it one step at a time."

He felt that it would be best to keep the Overlord Body Inheritance for their own people.

Once they withstood external pressure and allowed the person who acquired the Overlord Body to grow, the Nangong Family's rise would be just around the corner.

Just as he was thinking this, a servant came to report.

"Report, Family Head, a cultivator from the Eastern Domain named Zhong Qing has come to visit!"
