Chu Nan can use the Ancestral Bloodline to locate the madness within Zhi Ruo's Crying Blood Python consciousness, then directly subdue or shatter it to resolve the issue at its root.

Without the interference of the Crying Blood Python's mad will, the drawbacks of the Demon Blood naturally disappear. As long as there is enough stamina, the Zhi Family Martial Artists can continuously unleash the power of Demon Blood to enhance their combat strength.

Of course, the power of Demon Blood has its limits. In fact, because the bloodline is too thin, the higher the realm, the faster the exhaustion during the burst.

At the Cloud Sea Realm, being able to sustain the burst for even one incense stick's worth of time is considered a lot; it's impossible to maintain like Zhi Ruo and Zhi Qingge, who can continuously burst for more than half an hour by constantly replenishing stamina.

As for the array initially set up by Chu Nan, it was merely a distraction, a disguise to mislead the eyes and ears.

After nearly an hour, Zhi Ruo, due to lack of follow-up strength and exhaustion, stopped the burst of Demon Blood.

Yet even so, the scene before them left everyone speechless.

If Zhi Qingge's previous case was merely a coincidence, a special case, then Chu Nan openly resolving Zhi Ruo's Demon Blood drawbacks before everyone was an irrefutable fact that no one could argue against!

"Success, it truly succeeded!"

"Chu Nan first helped Zhi Qingge resolve the Demon Blood drawback and now has saved Zhi Ruo. Moreover, Zhi Ruo burst Demon Blood for so long without issue; it seems the drawback is truly resolved."

"Incredible, truly incredible. He's only at the Divine Illumination Realm and yet achieved what many Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artists cannot!"

"The Zhi Family is saved, the Zhi Family is saved!"

"I can't wait to approach him; I want him to help me and my family completely resolve the Demon Blood drawback."

...

For a moment, the entire Demon Blood Martial Arts Arena was in an uproar. Compared to the achievements of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, Chu Nan was evidently more convincing.

Even the already deranged Zhi Ruo could be saved, let alone those who were still lucid.

Even Zhi Changmei showed excitement; he was a cultivator of the Nine Heavens Secret Technique and one of the highest cultivators in the Zhi Family.

The confusion brought by Demon Blood was far more severe for him than for others.

If you aren't a Zhi Family Martial Artist, you won't know: Demon Blood indeed offers strong combat power, but it throws the martial artist into madness, and there's an even more severe consequence.

That is, when Zhi Family Martial Artists break through to the Cloud Sea Realm, due to the influence of Demon Blood, the cultivation breakthrough becomes extraordinarily difficult.

Especially for cultivators of the Nine Heavens Secret Technique, every breakthrough is akin to walking through the gates of death.

Among Zhi Family, there are four cultivators of the Nine Heavens Secret Technique; affected by Demon Blood, two have long been in a state of frenzy, remaining lucid for just a third of the day.

They are already on the verge of collapse.

If the Demon Blood drawbacks aren't swiftly resolved, perhaps before the strong race and royal family invade, the Zhi Family Secret Realm will be destroyed by its own ancestor first.

At this moment, Zhi Changmei cast a desperate gaze at Chu Nan, wishing he could have him resolve his Demon Blood drawbacks right now.

"Senior, are you satisfied?" Chu Nan looked at Zhi Changmei with a smile.

Zhi Changmei nodded secretly, unable to help but praise: "A hero emerges from the youth; with you in our Zhi Family…"

"Third Ancestor!" In the middle of speaking, Zhi Qingyu abruptly interrupted, "Old Ancestor, Chu Nan's identity is unclear; who knows if he truly means to help our Zhi Family?"

"Perhaps he does this merely to earn our trust, then harm us!"

Seeing that resolving Demon Blood drawbacks wasn't as effective as Chu Nan, Zhi Qingyu chose baseless slander.

Upon hearing this, Zhi Qingge immediately retorted in anger, "Zhi Qingyu, stop talking nonsense! I guarantee with my life, Chu Nan will absolutely not harm the Zhi Family."

Zhi Qingyu glared at Zhi Qingge with eyes burning with hatred.

Originally, everything was going smoothly; he not only became the Zhi Family Young Master but could also become Patriarch in the future. Because of Zhi Qingge, and because she brought in Chu Nan, what seemed destined became shrouded in uncertainty.

Ge Bai also spoke in a solemn tone, "Senior, what does it matter if Chu Nan has resolved the Demon Blood drawbacks? The Desolate Ancient Holy Hall is still your Zhi Family's only choice for collaboration."

"How many with Zhi Family blood exist? A thousand? Ten thousand? I think no less than a hundred thousand."

"There's only one Chu Nan; if I assume he could heal a hundred people without sleep every day, it would still take more than three years!"

"Moreover, healing the Demon Blood drawbacks becomes more challenging for those at the Cloud Sea Realm. Chu Nan is merely at Divine Illumination Realm; can he really do it?"

Zhi Changmei, originally intending to abandon collaboration with Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, fell silent instantly. Ge Bai was right; while Chu Nan was fast at resolving Demon Blood drawbacks, he was slow concerning the entire Zhi Family.

Seizing the opportunity, Ge Bai continued, "And my Desolate Ancient Holy Hall is entirely different; we have nine Hall Masters, our forces spanning the Great Desert, with a heritage older than Qin Kingdom, endless resources."

"As you've just seen, though Zhi Ruo's Demon Blood drawback relapsed, that was because the Blood Array was incomplete."

"A complete Blood Array, though complex and requiring significant resources, does not have the slightest drawback."

"As long as the Blood Array is constructed successfully, no matter the cultivation level, no matter the number, in just one month, our Desolate Ancient Holy Hall can thoroughly resolve all issues for the Zhi Family!"

"Moreover, with the formidable power of Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, after this, we'll become the firmest allies."

In that moment, Ge Bai was desperate; Chu Nan's demonstrated effects were too overpowering, almost reducing the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall's Blood Array to dust.

If he doesn't unfold all advantages and cards, Zhi Changmei might abandon Desolate Ancient Holy Hall at once.

By then, the Blood Array will be dismantled, collaboration between Desolate Ancient Holy Hall and Zhi Family will cease, and he will be the sinner of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, doomed despite any talent!

For the sake of his future, Ge Bai was sacrificing it all.

Zhi Qingyu eagerly added, "Third Ancestor, the Blood Array is a month from being completed; how can you surrender halfway with just a command?"

Zhi Changmei slightly frowned, for both Ge Bai and Zhi Qingyu made valid points.

For constructing the Blood Array, the Zhi Family has invested too much; how could they abandon midway because of a single Chu Nan, particularly since Chu Nan is just one person, while behind Ge Bai stands the entire Desolate Ancient Holy Hall!

"What you said indeed makes sense…" Zhi Changmei fell into deep thought because, as stated, Zhi Qingyu and Ge Bai's words made sense; the Zhi Family had invested considerable resources into building the Blood Array.

Abandoning halfway would mean throwing previous investments into the water.

Moreover, Chu Nan being alone indeed pales in comparison to the foundational depth of Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.

Seeing Zhi Changmei contemplative, Zhi Qingge also sought to argue, "But Chu Nan resolves the Demon Blood drawbacks with almost no cost!"

Chu Nan chuckled lightly without agreeing or debating further.

Actually, what Zhi Qingyu and Ge Bai stated was clearly nonsensical to Chu Nan.

With the Ancestral Bloodline of the Crying Blood Python, his true speed far exceeded Ge Bai's estimates; as for Divine Illumination Realm being unable to heal Cloud Sea, it was ridiculous.
