But Chu Nan did not plan to argue about this, after all, no matter how exceptional his performance, it cannot change the fact that the power behind Ge Bai is stronger.

He also didn't intend to achieve his ultimate goal today. Everything he did today was actually to make a name for himself, so that everyone in the Zhi Family Secret Realm would know that he, Chu Nan, can resolve the drawbacks of Demon Blood.

If you don't want to be bitten back by Demon Blood, come find me!

Zhi Changmei pondered for a long time, finally looking at Chu Nan and said: "Chu Nan, my young friend, I apologize. Our Zhi family will still choose to cooperate with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall."

"However, we can make a private deal to individually resolve the Demon Blood drawbacks for some strong members of the Zhi family. What do you think?"

The cooperation with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall cannot be abandoned, and the construction of the Blood Array cannot be stopped.

But Chu Nan's ability cannot be ignored either. While waiting for the Blood Array to be completed, cooperation can first be achieved through trade, so neither side will be delayed.

As one of the family leaders, when there are multiple choices, the decision is to spread the favor evenly.

Chu Nan understood Zhi Changmei's thinking perfectly; this was also his goal.

The trade is mutual, and it's also a means to deepen trust. As the transactions increase, a deep friendship can naturally be established between both parties.

So Chu Nan smiled and said: "It is an honor for me to cooperate with the Zhi family."

Zhi Changmei nodded, very pleased to see that Chu Nan was not angry because he chose the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.

But Ge Bai and Zhi Qingyu were not satisfied.

They thought of eating up all the benefits brought by cooperating with the Zhi family, how could they accept Chu Nan of the Divine Illumination Realm getting a share?

Adding to the previous accumulated conflicts, Ge Bai and Zhi Qingyu could not accept that the Zhi family had another choice.

The two of them exchanged a glance, and then Ge Bai stood up and said: "Senior, if you want to make a deal with Chu Nan, our Desolate Ancient Holy Hall will not stop you."

"But Chu Nan killed our Sea of Clouds Realm member from the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, this matter must be accounted for!"

Before Chu Nan could refute, Zhi Qingge harshly reproached: "You are shameless, it was clearly your intention to force me to be a concubine for Ge Bai, and Chu Nan stopping you led to Huang Yan's death."

"He deserved to die, how dare you even have the nerve to hold accountable!"

Zhi Changmei's expression changed; he looked sternly at Zhi Qingyu and asked: "Qingyu, is there such a thing?"

Zhi Qingyu was startled and quickly said: "Hall Master Ge Bai is exceptionally talented; I just wanted to find a good husband for Zhi Qingge."

"But they not only refused, they also killed our Blood Spring Hall's Huang Yan, which is damaging the friendship between our Zhi family and the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall!"

Ge Bai also said at this time: "No matter what the truth is, the fact that our Blood Spring Hall lost a Sea of Clouds member cannot be denied!"

The one who had arranged the Blood Array, Huang Shi, also stood up at this moment, saying with hatred: "Huang Yan was my younger brother, Chu Nan killed him, his crime cannot go unpunished, he must pay with his life!"

Tension finally reached its peak, although resolving some of Zhi Ruo's drawbacks lost a contest, as long as they could kill Chu Nan, all problems could be solved.

Zhi Changmei was displeased; the cooperation with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall could definitely not be dissolved, but Chu Nan, who could resolve the Demon Blood drawbacks, could not be abandoned either.

At this moment, he wanted to avoid offending either side, caught in a dilemma.

Seeing Zhi Changmei hesitating to make a statement, Huang Shi hurriedly said: "Avenging my brother is a matter of duty; I hope the senior won't stop this."

Chu Nan then stood up and coldly said: "Huang Yan deserved to die, he attempted to harm my friend and even tried to kill me; killing him once wouldn't be enough, even a thousand times wouldn't suffice!"

Even though he was only at the Divine Illumination Realm, Chu Nan had no intention of yielding in the face of the Sea of Clouds Realm's threat.

Huang Shi looked at Chu Nan with clenched teeth, secretly tightening his fist and said: "But my brother is dead, no matter what, the murderer must pay with his life."

Ge Bai asked Zhi Changmei: "Senior, please deliver justice for the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall!"

"What are you waiting for, quickly kill Chu Nan to set an example!" Zhi Qingyu exclaimed fiercely, wishing to crush Chu Nan.

After all, if Chu Nan were gone, Zhi Qingge would lose a trump card, and he could then control Zhi Qingge at will.

Zhi Qingge and Zhi Jiang had no place to intervene in this situation, their opinions held no weight whatsoever.

Zhi Changmei found himself in a dilemma, unable to favor either side.

"Both sides have their reasons, and I indeed cannot make a decision. How about resolving the conflict peacefully?"

Ge Bai was unwilling, so he stood up and said: "Senior, please give Huang Shi the chance to avenge his brother."

"How about this, we will let Huang Shi and Chu Nan have a fair and just life-or-death duel. If Chu Nan is killed, our Desolate Ancient Holy Hall would have avenged itself. If Huang Shi is killed, I would be willing to forgo this matter as well!"

Upon hearing this, Zhi Qingge immediately said angrily: "Ge Bai, have you no shame? Chu Nan is merely at the Divine Illumination Realm, and you want him to fight with Huang Shi of the second stage of the Sea of Clouds Realm, you clearly harbor malicious intent."

Ge Bai sneered and said: "He killed a member of our Blood Spring Hall first, taking some loss is nothing."

Chu Nan's eyes lit up and he said: "Ge Bai, if you are willing to write this off under such terms, then I, Chu Nan, accept."

These words were like a thunderbolt, how could Chu Nan of the Divine Illumination Realm accept a death duel with someone of the second stage of the Sea of Clouds Realm?

Even the martial artists in the audience were dumbfounded, the Demon Blood Martial Arts Arena had been established for many years, with countless deaths and injuries each day, but such an absurd thing as someone from the Divine Illumination Realm challenging the Sea of Clouds Realm had never happened before.

The gap between the Divine Illumination Realm and the second stage of the Sea of Clouds Realm is vast, this is clearly seeking death!

Zhi Changmei also looked incredulously at Chu Nan: "Chu Nan, my young friend, are you sure you want to accept? You must know that once you agree, there is no chance for regret, not even I can save you."

Chu Nan smiled and said: "Senior, once this junior has made a decision, I will not regret it!"

Ge Bai laughed heartily and said: "Chu Nan, your decision just now really made me see you in a new light, but unfortunately, you will soon pay the price for this decision."

Huang Shi stepped forward threateningly and said: "I've heard that you killed Huang Yan using the power of the Celestial Eye, and you must be thinking of using the same method to defeat me, right?"

"But unfortunately, I am not afraid of your Celestial Eye!"

Chu Nan looked at Huang Shi, calmly saying: "In that case, I will wait and see."

Zhi Changmei, seeing Chu Nan's firm resolve, could only say: "Alright, since you have made your decision, I will not stop you."

"Please prepare for the upcoming martial duel."

Leaving those words, Zhi Changmei was the first to step down from the stage, and under the respectful gaze of the Zhi Family martial artists, he sat in the audience.

Ge Bai sneered wickedly and said: "Chu Nan, cherish the time you have left, because soon, you won't have any more opportunities."

Chu Nan, however, confidently replied: "Rest assured, I will live better than you!"

Zhi Qingyu also followed Ge Bai off the platform, but when he looked at Chu Nan, he still had a provocative expression.
