After speaking, Zhi Jiang wiped away his tears, his eyes full of sorrow.

Chu Nan remained silent, knowing that there must be many similar situations in the Zhi Family Secret Realm, where they confine the martial artists driven mad, waiting for someone who can cure the demon blood malady to appear.

At the same time, he also understood that Zhi Jiang bringing Zhi Feng here would surely attract a lot of attention.

This was a crucial test. If Chu Nan could cure the Cloud Sea Realm's Zhi Feng, even more people in similar situations as Zhi Jiang would flock to him.

Chu Nan had long been confident in curing Zhi Feng, so he patted his chest and said, "Senior, rest assured. Leave Zhi Feng to me, but let me say upfront, you must strive to meet my requirements."

Chu Nan doesn't do business without profit; anyone seeking his treatment must pay a price.

Once you open the door to free treatment, it could be hard to close again.

After all, Zhi Jiang was the East City Deputy City Lord, wealthy by nature, unlike others who were more stingy, so he asked, "What price are you asking, young friend, to save someone?"

Chu Nan looked at Zhi Feng in the cage and made his decision.

The price for a maddened martial artist needed to be discussed on the spot, something Chu Nan had already established.

"I want the Earth Tier martial skill Zhi Feng cultivates, and also the insight into a Second Tier Martial Intent. Can that be done?"

Zhi Feng was Zhi Jiang's eldest son and a Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist, certainly having cultivated Earth Tier Martial Skills and Cultivation Techniques, while having comprehended at least one Second Tier Martial Intent.

Chu Nan's demands were actually calculated.

Zhi Jiang furrowed his brows, his face thoughtful.

Earth Tier martial skills are extremely precious in the Celestial Crossing Realm, even strong races don't have many, but Zhi Feng, being his eldest son, had long been cultivating them.

As for the comprehension of a Second Tier Martial Intent, it was achieved during the Divine Illumination Realm.

Chu Nan's demands could indeed be met by Zhi Feng, but those were Earth Tier martial skills and insights into Second Tier Martial Intents.

Zhi Jiang's heart was reluctant for a moment, but seeing the maddened Zhi Feng in the cage, he could only sigh, "Alright, I agree to this matter."

"But only once Zhi Feng is fully awake can it be fulfilled. If you don't agree, I can't help it."

Zhi Jiang shrugged.

Chu Nan chuckled lightly, politely saying, "Senior, rest assured, if I can't heal him, I won't take anything from you."

He stepped forward to the cage, lifting the red cloth covering it, revealing the imprisoned Zhi Feng inside.

Zhi Feng's muscles were sturdy, his face exceptionally delicate, but he was stark naked, his hair disheveled, his body covered in bloodstains, his ten fingernails all fallen off from his mad actions.

He looked utterly pitiful, and upon seeing Chu Nan, he went berserk, crashing into the iron cage with a deafening rattle.

"Young friend Chu Nan, we can go to the backyard to treat Zhi Feng; I'll help you restrain him," Zhi Jiang said.

However, Chu Nan shook his head, indicating, "No need, we can do it here."

As he finished speaking, Chu Nan unleashed a surge of spiritual power, breaking the iron cage's restraints directly.

Freed from confinement, red light surged around Zhi Feng's body, and he let out a beast-like roar, causing the iron cage to crumble into pieces.

Then, like a savage beast, he lunged at Chu Nan, his aura of a Cloud Sea Realm martial artist flaring like a flame in a gale!

"Not good!" Zhi Jiang was immediately shocked upon seeing this, thinking Chu Nan was crazy to recklessly remove the restraints.

If Chu Nan were killed by Zhi Feng, there would be a huge uproar.

Just as Zhi Jiang prepared to intervene, Chu Nan confidently smiled and immediately summoned the Dragon Slaughter Tower, which encompassed Zhi Feng.

With a booming sound, Zhi Feng was crushed under the Dragon Slaughter Tower, unable to move despite his wildest roars.

Through spiritual sense, Chu Nan had already discerned that Zhi Feng was at the first level of the Cloud Sea Realm, and even with the eruption of demon blood power, he was far inferior to someone at the second level of the Cloud Sea Realm.

Additionally, being persistently in a frenzied state, Zhi Feng appeared ferocious but was actually exceedingly weak.

It was only by understanding this that Chu Nan dared to confidently release Zhi Feng without needing Zhi Jiang to make a move.

Seeing Chu Nan subdue Zhi Feng, Zhi Jiang breathed a sigh of relief.

To the side, both Zhi Qingge and Zhi Ruo showed excitement, eagerly anticipating watching Chu Nan perform his wonderful techniques to save someone once again.

Chu Nan wasted no time, immediately setting up a simple array to cover Zhi Feng.

The array's primary purpose was to obfuscate, letting people believe that Chu Nan relied on the array to save people, not his own abilities.

While seemingly redundant, this approach was quite useful.

After all, using an array to save someone and relying on one's own power are completely different concepts.

Thanks to the blood array of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, people could easily accept Chu Nan using an array. But if he exposed that he could eliminate the demon blood malady with his bloodline alone, the Zhi family might try to uncover the secrets of his bloodline.

No matter how strong a friendship, it can always break; if it doesn't, it's merely because the benefits aren't enough.

Furthermore, Chu Nan's friendship with the Zhi family was only superficial.

If they knew Chu Nan's bloodline had secrets, the Zhi family definitely wouldn't maintain today's attitude.

With one hand, Chu Nan arranged the array, and with the other, he pressed it against Zhi Feng's body, concurrently utilizing the Ancestral Bloodline to dispel the maniacal consciousness of the blood-crying Jiao Python within him.

A bead of sweat appeared on Chu Nan's forehead, as he deliberately portrayed immense difficulty to keep others from gauging his limits.

"The influence of demon blood on Zhi Feng over the years indeed makes it much harder than curing Zhi Ruo," Chu Nan thought to himself, applying even more Ancestral Bloodline power in treating Zhi Feng.

An entire stick of incense time passed, and Zhi Feng, who had been roaring madly, gradually calmed down. The redness on his body slowly faded, and his bloodshot eyes gradually returned to normal.

Whoosh~

Finally, Zhi Feng exhaled deeply, his face reflecting exhaustion, and his eyes closed as he fell into a deep slumber.

Chu Nan withdrew his hand and smiled, "Mission accomplished, but Zhi Feng is still somewhat weak. You may let him rest in the backyard for a while."

"Did it really succeed?" Zhi Jiang was somewhat incredulous. Zhi Feng wasn't Zhi Ruo; he was not only a Cloud Sea Realm martial artist but had also been affected by the demon blood malady for many years.

Yet in just the time of a stick of incense, he was cured?

Gently lifting Zhi Feng, Zhi Jiang observed closely and indeed found no traces of madness, though he couldn't hide his weakness.

Zhi Jiang wept with joy, saying, "Good, good, good, wonderful!"

"Rest assured, Chu Nan, we'll fulfill what we promised you, for sure."

With that said, Zhi Jiang carried Zhi Feng towards the backyard.

Chu Nan immediately instructed, "Zhi Ruo, clean up the hall. I believe more guests will arrive soon."

"Zhi Qingge, be prepared. If anyone comes, you must introduce them to me later~"

Zhi Qingge and Zhi Ruo nodded in agreement, their faces showing anticipation.

Successfully curing Zhi Feng undoubtedly established his reputation, a scene that would be spread by the martial artists secretly observing.

Chu Nan believed many martial artists in situations similar to Zhi Jiang's would rush over soon, seeking to have their demon blood maladies cured!

Sure enough, Zhi Ruo had barely cleared away the fragments of the iron cage when several martial artists hurriedly hurried in the direction of the Demon Blood Pavilion, dragging iron cages along.
