Things of exchange

Inside the secret chamber, Nangong Xiangtian frowned as he looked at his daughter.

“Xiaoman, I can’t deny that someone who can give away a Wang-level Divine Weapon is indeed a bit extraordinary.”

“Tell me, what is so special about him that makes you say he’s unfathomable and not to be offended?”

Nangong Xiaoman took a deep breath.

Slowly, she said, “Father, do you know about Fuguang Cave?”

Nangong Xiangtian had heard of the people from Fuguang Cave.

The Cave Master was a strong practitioner at the late Sun Profound Realm.

Under him, there were also many experts.

They were local overlords, and a few years ago, they caused quite a stir and gained some reputation.

“What does this Zhong Qing have to do with Fuguang Cave?”

He asked, puzzled.

“Everyone from Fuguang Cave is dead.”

“Not even a chicken or dog was left alive, and he ordered it done.”

Hearing this, Nangong Xiangtian was somewhat dismissive.

While the people from Fuguang Cave were strong, there was still a significant gap between them and the Nangong Family.

In fact, if the Nangong Family wanted to eradicate such a force, it might take some effort, but it would certainly not be difficult.

After all, the Nangong Family had several Earth Profound Realm powerhouses guarding it!

If it was just the annihilation of a bandit or mountain thief force, while it deserved a second glance, it certainly didn’t warrant his serious attention.

Nangong Xiangtian was not in a hurry.

He quietly waited for his daughter to speak.

If the other party only had such a record, then it naturally wouldn't be worth his daughter praising him so much.

He might have some extraordinary qualities unknown to others.

Then, Nangong Xiaoman continued, “And the one who annihilated Fuguang Cave is a true Tianxuan Realm powerhouse!”

Upon hearing this, Nangong Xiangtian’s expression shifted slightly.

Tianxuan Realm powerhouses, in this Nameless City, only the ancestors of the three major first-class forces barely reached this realm.

It was precisely because of the Tianxuan Realm powerhouses guarding them that the three major first-class families could steadily suppress the Nangong Family.

It could be said that such a figure was like the stabilizing force of a thousand-year-old aristocratic family.

However, Nangong Xiangtian quickly reacted.

“You said that the people from Fuguang Cave were ordered by him.”

“And that person is a Tianxuan Realm powerhouse?”

“That’s right!”

Upon receiving Nangong Xiaoman’s confirmation, Nangong Xiangtian couldn’t sit still.

“What is his relationship with that Tianxuan Realm powerhouse?”

Even the three major first-class families couldn’t easily invite their ancestors to act.

But Nangong Xiaoman said “ordered.”

This was somewhat terrifying.

Facing her father’s inquiry, Nangong Xiaoman didn’t keep him in suspense, but spoke word by word.

“That Tianxuan Realm powerhouse is his servant!”

“Boom…”

This news, like a thunderbolt, exploded directly in Nangong Xiangtian’s mind.

A Tianxuan Realm powerhouse, surprisingly, was just a servant.

This was too astonishing, too unbelievable.

One must know that powerhouses had dignity.

The more profound the cultivation of a powerhouse, the more they cared about their reputation.

A Tianxuan Realm powerhouse was an existence even he had to look up to.

However, now Nangong Xiaoman actually said that such an existence was merely a servant.

His chest heaved, clearly greatly startled.

However, Nangong Xiaoman’s next sentence made him freeze on the spot.

“Not only does this gentleman have a Tianxuan Realm powerhouse as a servant, but his own strength has also reached an incredible level.”

“With just one palm, he instantly leveled two ice mountains.”

“Father, is such a person worthy of our Nangong Family’s serious attention?”

If the previous news that a Tianxuan Realm powerhouse was merely a servant had caused a monstrous wave in Nangong Xiangtian’s heart, then this news was akin to dropping a nuclear bomb in his heart.

As someone from outside the Northern Region, he naturally understood the structure of this world very well.

The Northern Region was mostly frozen land.

The mountain ranges were also almost entirely composed of millennium-old ice.

Such mountain ranges, in terms of hardness, were no less than ordinary refining materials, and even surpassed them.

Yet, the other party could level two ice mountains with a single palm.

No matter what, he was absolutely incapable of achieving such a feat.

Not only him, but even the ancestor of the Nangong Family was far from reaching such a level.

In other words, his own strength was at least… Tianxuan Realm!

This conclusion immediately startled Nangong Xiangtian greatly.

It wasn’t that he hadn’t seen Tianxuan Realm powerhouses before.

But as far as he knew, the youngest Tianxuan Realm powerhouses were all over a thousand years old.

However, how old was Zhong Qing?

Although he didn't know his exact age, through bone age, it was clear that he was definitely not over twenty.

What kind of concept was a Tianxuan Realm powerhouse under twenty years old?

So it could be confirmed.

Zhong Qing’s origin must be extraordinary, and he might even be a young master from a major force in another region.

Nangong Xiangtian’s heart was stirred with great waves.

No wonder Xiaoman said this person couldn’t be offended!

Such a person was indeed someone the Nangong Family could not afford to offend.

Nangong Xiaoman gave her father some time to accept and digest the news.

In fact, when she first learned of this news, the shock in her heart was no less than her father’s, perhaps even greater.

After a short while, she finally said, “Father, as far as I know, the three major first-class families are eyeing our Nangong Family covetously.”

“The current Overlord Body Inheritance is already a disaster, not a blessing.”

“Given the nature of the three major families, even if we are willing to hand over the Overlord Body Inheritance, we will probably not only gain no benefits, but they will even use various pretexts to suppress and defraud our Nangong Family.”

“Now, a mysterious and unknown expert has come to trade, not to forcibly seize.”

“This is enough to prove that he came with sincerity.”

“Since that’s the case, why don’t we listen to his offer before making a decision?”

Nangong Xiangtian had to admit that he was swayed by his daughter’s words.

Recalling the shameless faces of the three major families earlier, he felt that Zhong Qing’s appearance didn’t seem to be a bad thing.

For a moment, he made up his mind.

At this moment, Zhong Qing was still drinking tea in the main hall.

He didn’t have to wait too long.

Nangong Xiangtian and his daughter had already returned to the main hall.

“Sir, I apologize for making you wait.”

After learning of Zhong Qing’s incredible power, Nangong Xiangtian’s attitude had undergone a drastic change.

He wore a smiling face, like a blooming old chrysanthemum.

The sudden change in the other party’s attitude caused Zhong Qing’s expression to relax.

He had originally been wondering if he should resort to some special means since the other party had refused so cleanly.

But now, it seemed things were taking a turn for the better.

Zhong Qing calmly picked up his teacup and took a light sip.

“About the trade?”

“Sir, please forgive me, I am a blunt person, so I won’t beat around the bush.”

“The Overlord Body Inheritance can be traded, but I wonder, Sir, what price can you offer?”

This sudden straightforwardness was something Zhong Qing had not expected.

However, he wasn’t afraid that they wouldn’t agree; as long as they were willing to negotiate, Zhong Qing believed he could certainly offer something that would satisfy them.

He had quite a few good things on him.

But what to use to exchange for the Overlord Body Inheritance required careful consideration.

After pondering for a moment, Zhong Qing stated the exchange item.
