Chapter 526 Shocking Plan!

Songzhou, Nie Family.

In an ancient courtyard, under a pavilion and before a stone table, sat four middle-aged men.

If the world saw them, they would surely be stunned, because these four men were the heads of four Ancient Families among the twenty top-tier powers in the Tian Yuan World.

They were true magnates of the Tian Yuan World, whose words could influence millions.

A teapot and teacups were placed on the stone table, and a unique tea fragrance permeated the entire courtyard. It was said that even Cultivators with low cultivation could achieve sudden enlightenment and break through just by smelling this tea.

The Head of the Pei Family put down his teacup and said, "Brother Nie, you called us here today, surely not just for tea."

The other two heads of families also looked over curiously.

The last time the four heads of these Ancient Families sat together was tens of thousands of years ago.

The Head of the Nie Family smiled faintly and said, "May I ask if the three of you know about Immortal Bodies?"

Upon mentioning Immortal Bodies, the expressions of the three slightly changed.

"Immortal Bodies only existed in legends before. Now, two have suddenly appeared in the Tian Yuan World, protected like treasures by the Xuantian Holy Sect and the Piaomiao Immortal Palace. How could we know about them?" The Head of the Lu Family said indifferently.

The Head of the Nie Family asked, "These two Immortal Bodies came from the same Family. Aren't you curious why?"

The Head of the Cang Family impatiently waved his hand.

"Alright, alright, Brother Nie, just say what you want to say. Stop beating around the bush."

As heads of Ancient Families, they had no leisure to sit here chatting and playing guessing games with someone named Nie.

The heads of the Lu and Pei Families both nodded in agreement.

"In that case, I, Nie, will speak plainly."

The Head of the Nie Family put down his teacup and cleared his throat.

"The goal of us Cultivators is to become immortals and ascend, but becoming an immortal and ascending has always existed only in legends. The reason Immortal Bodies are called 'Immortal' is because they are related to true immortals."

"If we can uncover the secrets of the Immortal Body, we can naturally explore the mysteries of becoming an immortal."

Everyone knew this, but the Xuantian Holy Sect and the Piaomiao Immortal Palace had always protected the Immortal Bodies very well, so they hadn't had the chance for prolonged contact with them.

The Head of the Lu Family's eyes narrowed, and he asked directly, "You want to go to war with the Xuantian Holy Sect and the Piaomiao Immortal Palace and capture the Immortal Bodies?"

Immortal Bodies were the top priority for these two powers. Trying to capture them meant implicitly starting a war with both of them.

The Head of the Nie Family smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

"The three of you should know that these two Immortal Bodies came from the same Family. Aren't you curious why this is the case?"

Hearing this, the three immediately lowered their heads in silence, their hearts stirred.

After all, even if they captured the Immortal Bodies and couldn't figure out their secrets, knowing the reason why this Family produced two Immortal Bodies would still be a huge gain.

After a moment of silence.

The Head of the Lu Family asked, "The Xuantian Holy Sect is comparable in strength to your Nie Family, and the Piaomiao Immortal Palace has close ties with multiple powers. Even if our four families go all out, the chance of success is not high."

The foundation of each top-tier power was immeasurable. Once something affected their core interests, they would use a large number of powerful hidden cards. Even if they won four against two, it would be a Pyrrhic victory, somewhat not worth the loss.

The Head of the Nie Family called them here to scheme for the Immortal Bodies, naturally having considered this point.

"Besides us, there are plenty of people interested in the Immortal Bodies. You'll know if you just do a quick check how many people lined up to see them in Seven Kings City after the Icefire Secret Realm."

As top-tier powers in the Tian Yuan World, their informants naturally spread everywhere. They would know about any major event immediately.

They naturally also knew about Xu Muge and Xu Ying's brilliant performance in the Icefire Secret Realm, defeating other top Heavenly Prodigies consecutively.

"You mean to continue finding other powers to cooperate with?" The Head of the Pei Family asked in a low voice.

The Head of the Nie Family nodded and said, "Of course. Although the profits each of us gets will be much less this way, the losses can be minimized, and the success rate will increase sharply, approaching 100%."

"Which other powers do you think are interested?" The Head of the Lu Family asked.

It was clear that he was already tempted. As long as there were enough allies and the success rate was high enough, he would agree without hesitation.

The Head of the Nie Family smiled and said, "To be honest with the three of you, the Red Moon Sect, Seven Kings City, the Azure Firmament Merchant Guild, and the Heavenly Radiance Imperial Court have already agreed."

"If you add us, that's seven powers!" The Head of the Pei Family exclaimed in a low voice.

Four against two had a low chance of winning, and winning would be a Pyrrhic victory. But seven against two, that was different.

Seeing that they were already tempted, the Head of the Nie Family continued to entice them.

"These are already confirmed. Several other powers are still in negotiation. You need to understand one thing: regarding this matter, besides the three great Immortal Clans, I doubt there is any power that wouldn't be tempted."

The three great Immortal Clans were all demon beasts and would not participate in most matters concerning Human Race Cultivators.

"That makes sense," the Head of the Lu Family and the Head of the Pei Family had already made up their minds internally.

However, the Head of the Cang Family stood up and said, "My apologies, our Cang Family is not interested. We have important matters at home, so I'll take my leave."

The Head of the Cang Family cupped his hands, then turned and left.

It wasn't that he wasn't interested in the Immortal Bodies and the Xu Family, but after knowing that Seven Kings City would be involved, he didn't want to participate.

Because Cang Lu, one of the Seven Kings of Seven Kings City, had a complex history of grievances with their Cang Family.

So for many years, wherever Cang Lu and Seven Kings City were present, their Cang Family was not.

Similarly, the Yuyuan Emperor Court, which had a feud with Cang Lu, would also refuse because of this.

The three heads of families were well aware of this and didn't say much.

The remaining three then began discussing the plan.

A shocking plan targeting the Xu Family, the Xuantian Holy Sect, and the Piaomiao Immortal Palace was being perfected step by step, ready to be put into action.
