Incited by the crowd, the Cloud Sea immediately wanted to attack Chu Nan, among them were even martial artists of the third level in the Cloud Sea Realm.

"Want to make a move? You don't have the qualifications!"

Chu Nan sneered, then waved his hand, and a graceful silhouette appeared in the center of the hall.

Lu Yao didn't make a move, but just released some of her own aura, sending a few approaching Cloud Sea Realm martial artists flying dozens of meters away.

When the remaining people saw Lu Yao, they were terrified and exclaimed: "A cultivator of the Ninth Heaven!"

Lu Yao's appearance immediately dominated the whole scene. Her aura alone intimidated everyone, and the martial artists who were just aggressive towards Chu Nan now stood like obedient children.

They dared not approach Chu Nan further, nor did they dare to leave.

"Fools who don't know how high the heavens are, do you really think Chu Nan is easy to bully?" Chu Nan sneered, his gaze full of disdain.

Most people didn't know that Chu Nan had a guardian by his side who practiced the secret techniques of the Ninth Heaven.

The entire Demon Blood Pavilion fell into a deathly silence until a voice echoed: "Who, who dares cause trouble in Chu Nan's Demon Blood Pavilion, my friend?"

The crowd parted, and Zhi Jiang walked out.

Although Zhi Jiang was only in the Cloud Sea Realm, his status in the Zhi Family Secret Realm was not low,

This city is called Zhitian City, which is divided into East, South, West, and North cities. Among them, the East City where Chu Nan resides is considered the strongest area in Zhitian City, and the Deputy City Lord of this East City is Zhi Jiang!

It was because of this status that he was seen with Zhi Changmei at the Demon Blood Martial Arts Arena seven days ago.

Zhi Jiang's arrival attracted the attention of many, who bowed and saluted.

"Salute the Deputy City Lord!"

"Salute the Deputy City Lord!"

...

Chu Nan was a bit surprised; he didn't expect Zhi Jiang's status to be so high, actually being the Deputy City Lord of the East City.

Zhi Jiang's appearance was a reassurance to the Zhi Family martial artists, who quickly complained.

"Deputy City Lord, Chu Nan is too excessive. He's doing business on our Zhi Family's territory, yet he's randomly setting prices, with the minimum being a hundred spirit stones!"

Someone quickly added: "We tried reasoning with him, but he wouldn't listen and instead mocked us."

"Just a moment ago, some Cloud Sea Realm seniors wanted to talk to him properly, but they were beaten and sent out..."

At this point, the crowd hid behind Zhi Jiang, cautiously eyeing Lu Yao, who was a Ninth Heaven cultivator, unmatched by anyone present except the four ancestors of the Zhi Family!

"Is there really such a thing?" Zhi Jiang frowned.

Seeing Zhi Jiang frown, the crowd was overjoyed, thinking he was angry, so they quickly said: "Chu Nan has come to our Zhi Family Secret Realm, he should listen to our Zhi Family martial artists and obediently heal us."

"Out of gratitude, we can give him a few spirit stones, but how could he demand a hundred spirit stones at once?"

"Right, right, that's correct!"

"This is the Zhi Family. Deputy City Lord, we must not let an outsider sit on our necks~"

Everyone clamored for Zhi Jiang to intervene, to make Chu Nan relent and treat their Demon Blood issues for free.

Zhi Qingge and Zhi Ruo were angry inside; this group of people was truly shameless, not only unwilling to trade but also wanting Chu Nan to heal their Demon Blood issues without compensation!

Chu Nan looked at these people with amusement, his heart filled with disdain.

Actually, curing these people wouldn't waste much time, but the door to this can't be opened.

The reason for establishing the Demon Blood Pavilion was to create a special Sea of Clouds, to break through cultivation, not to really save people through medical benevolence.

Once this door is opened, the martial artists seeking treatment will come in endless streams, and by then, forget about breaking through the Sea of Clouds, there won't even be time for cultivation.

It's worth noting that this is the Zhi Family Secret Realm, with more than ten thousand Zhi Family martial artists, nearly twenty thousand!

With Chu Nan's cultivation, even if he didn't sleep or rest, given a year's time, he couldn't treat so many people.

So Chu Nan only needed to save some who met his cultivation requirements, and after stepping into the Sea of Clouds, treating these Zhi Family martial artists would be hundreds of times easier than now.

"Senior Zhi Jiang, what do you think?" Chu Nan stared at Zhi Jiang, asking.

Zhi Jiang smiled and nodded at Chu Nan, then sternly reprimanded those longing martial artists: "Chu Nan is a guest of our three ancestors, not our slave, he's not someone you can just order around as you please!"

"I see all of you are too well-protected in the Secret Realm, you don't know the heights of the heavens!"

"Anyone who can't afford spirit stones, get out, or I'll send you to prison!"

The terrifying pressure was released, and the martial artists, with mixed complexions, hurriedly said: 'Deputy City Lord, calm your anger, Deputy City Lord, calm your anger, we don't dare anymore, we won't dare again!'

Seeing Zhi Jiang turn hostile, the Zhi Family martial artists dared not continue to pester but couldn't afford the spirit stones. Reluctant to give up their cultivation techniques and Martial Intent comprehension, they could only leave reluctantly.

The Zhi Family martial artists who had surrounded the Demon Blood Pavilion tightly just now fled instantly when Zhi Jiang got angry, not daring to linger for even a second.

Zhi Jiang used a tone filled with apology to speak to Chu Nan: "Forgive the ignorant populace, please don't take offense, Chu Nan, my friend."

Chu Nan laughed indifferently: "No harm, no harm, but really, thank you, senior, if not for you, who knows how long these people would have bothered me."

Chu Nan had anticipated the scene just now; if they all obediently handed over spirit stones, that would have surprised Chu Nan.

"Uncle Jiang, why are you here this time?" Zhi Qingge proactively walked to Zhi Jiang's side, complimenting him.

She is Zhi Jiang's niece, usually with Zhi Jiang.

Zhi Jiang lovingly glanced at Zhi Qingge, then said: "Chu Nan, my friend, I did come to find you today with a matter."

"Didn't I hear your Demon Blood Pavilion is open? Today, I specifically came to support your business, bringing someone to ask for your help."

Chu Nan was a bit surprised; he initially thought Zhi Jiang wanted him to treat the Demon Blood issues.

So he asked: "I wonder how senior wants me to help."

Zhi Jiang didn't answer, but instead waved his hand to those behind him, where several Divine Illumination Realm martial artists carried a large iron cage covered by a black cloth into the hall.

Bang!

Once the cage was placed, a beast-like roar emanated, with strands of Cloud Sea Realm aura slowly dispersing.

Chu Nan furrowed his brows slightly and curiously asked: "What is this?"

Zhi Jiang looked troubled and sighed: "To be embarrassed to say, this is my eldest son, Zhi Peak!"

"Cousin Zhi Peak!" Hearing the name Zhi Peak, Zhi Qingge exclaimed in surprise, "Uncle Jiang, didn't you say cousin Zhi Peak left the Zhi Family Secret Realm and went missing outside?"

Zhi Jiang spoke painfully: "That was a lie to you. In fact, your cousin encountered formidable enemies outside and had to unleash the power of Demon Blood. When I went to save him, Zhi Peak had already been completely overwhelmed by Demon Blood."

"I couldn't bear to let him die like that, so I crafted this cage that suppresses cultivation, hiding him in the mansion, restricting his freedom, awaiting the day of healing."
