As soon as those words were spoken, the main hall fell into a brief silence, but it was soon broken by Hai Tianshang's laughter.

Hai Tianshang sneered, "So what if you've stepped into the Cloud Sea? Do you think killing Ge Bai makes you invincible?"

"In the Celestial Crossing Realm, over these tens of thousands of years, Cloud Sea realm cultivators are as common as river carp, and ten of your kind could be slapped to death in the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall with a single hand!"

Hai Tianshang was full of disdain. Even though Chu Nan had killed Ge Bai, before the entirety of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, he seemed as insignificant as an ant.

Not to mention Hai Wujie, even Hai Tianshang himself could easily kill Chu Nan.

He was negotiating to have Zhi Changmei take action solely because he feared Chu Nan's guardian, Lu Yao.

Zhi Jiang slightly shook his head. What use was it to face the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall after reaching the Cloud Sea realm?

He wanted to save Chu Nan, but once Zhi Changmei made a decision, even he couldn't alter it.

Zhi Qingyu laughed, "Chu Nan, stop struggling in vain. Although you can cure Demon Blood, you're only one person. How can you compare to the Blood Array built by the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall?"

Zhi Changmei's expression turned slightly heavy. Although Zhi Changgeng was important, he was insignificant compared to the entire Zhi family.

With a pained expression, he prepared to make the decision he least wanted to make.

And just as Zhi Changmei was about to speak and agree with Hai Tianshang to kill Chu Nan, Chu Nan, who had been silent until now, spoke up.

"Who says I can't compare to the Blood Array? What if I can surpass it!" Chu Nan straightened his chest slightly, meeting Hai Tianshang's piercing gaze and said decisively.

These words were met with Zhi Qingyu's reckless laughter, "Do you think you can cure everyone in the Zhi family alone? Aren't you afraid of the wind flashing your tongue!"

Hai Tianshang also mocked, "Stop struggling in vain. The most you should do now is repent to the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, repent for going against them."

"Perhaps, in my boundless mercy, I might let Senior Zhi Changmei give you a swift end."

Faced with their taunting expressions, Chu Nan remained calm, saying coolly, "A bunch of frogs in a well, today I'll let you see the world!"

While everyone was puzzled, Chu Nan's body suddenly flickered, darting out of the main hall in a series of residual shadows.

Seeing this, Hai Tianshang's expression changed slightly, and Zhi Qingyu shouted angrily, "Not good, Chu Nan wants to escape!"

Whoosh!

As Chu Nan left the main hall, everyone quickly followed him out.

Zhi Changmei remained silent; although he had resolved to kill Chu Nan, he too wanted to see what Chu Nan was trying to do.

Was Chu Nan trying to escape, or did he really intend to save everyone in the Zhi family, as he claimed?

Hai Tianshang and Zhi Qingyu rushed out of the main hall one after the other, only to be surprised that Chu Nan hadn't fled but had instead arrived at the wide plaza outside the main hall.

He floated in mid-air, looking down at all the martial artists below.

Zhi Qingyu laughed mockingly, "Chu Nan, are you trying to escape? But I must tell you that's wishful thinking!"

"This is the Zhi family's Ancestral Land, surrounded by a Heaven-shocking Array. Once sealed, even a Ninth Heaven cultivator can't escape easily, let alone a mere Cloud Sea realm cultivator like you?"

Though Zhi Qingyu was only at the Ninth phase of the Divine Illumination realm, after aligning with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, he thought he could look down on the Cloud Sea realm.

Hai Tianshang glanced at Zhi Changmei and said, "Senior Zhi Changmei, are you still hesitant, watching Chu Nan flaunt his power in your Zhi family Ancestral Land?"

"Kill Chu Nan, take his body, and the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall will forever be an ally of the Zhi family. Whether it's the Demon Blood issue or the Zhi family's deep-seated vengeance, we'll resolve it for you!"

Zhi Changmei nodded slightly, quickly making his decision.

To rid the Zhi family of the Demon Blood issue and avenge a former genocide, even Zhi Changgeng could be sacrificed, let alone Chu Nan, who wasn't of their bloodline!

Just as Zhi Changmei was about to act and fully collaborate with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, Chu Nan suddenly released his Blood Path Sea.

The Blood Dao Cloud Sea spread out three hundred zhang, turning the sky above the main hall entirely blood-red, making the place seem like a world of blood.

"Chu Nan, you're overestimating yourself with this futile struggle!" Zhi Qingyu exclaimed, "Even if you release the Cloud Sea, what can it do when the three ancestors intervene!"

Hai Tianshang smirked coldly, saying nothing, as he already deemed Chu Nan a dead man, merely struggling futilely.

Zhi Jiang closed his eyes slightly, unwilling to witness Chu Nan's death.

Zhi Changmei's face turned serious, "I'm sorry, young friend Chu Nan, I know you came with sincerity, but I can't let the Zhi family be destroyed. For the Zhi family, please allow yourself to be sacrificed for now!"

Boom!

The power of the Fifth Heaven exploded, causing Chu Nan's Blood Dao Cloud Sea to tremble uncontrollably and begin to retract.

A flash of pain appeared on Chu Nan's face; no wonder a top-tier Fifth Heaven expert, even just exuding their aura, caused him slight harm.

However, Chu Nan showed no fear; instead, he smiled at Zhi Changmei, "Senior, you're doing this for the Zhi family, but I'm releasing this Blood Dao Cloud Sea for the Zhi family as well."

"Why not wait a few breaths and see the changes in the Zhi martial artists here before you kill me?"

Chu Nan negotiated with Zhi Changmei with a confident tone.

Zhi Changmei's expression showed confusion, not understanding his meaning.

Chu Nan seized this opportunity, quickly restoring the Blood Dao Cloud Sea to its three hundred zhang range, fully activating the ancestral bloodline of the Weeping Blood Anaconda.

Under the Blood Dao Cloud Sea's cover, Chu Nan simultaneously merged his consciousness into it, using the power of the Weeping Blood Anaconda to stir the demon blood within all Zhi martial artists below.

After reaching the Cloud Sea realm, Chu Nan's ability to cure the Demon Blood issue was no longer constrained by physical limits and could draw the Anaconda's consciousness from their bloodlines to suppress and eradicate it.

With this ability, Chu Nan significantly increased his efficiency in treating the Zhi martial artists.

If Chu Nan wished, he could cure all martial artists below the Cloud Sea realm in the Zhi Ancestral Land of the Demon Blood issue within a day!

"Chu Nan, what exactly are you doing?" Zhi Changmei asked, puzzled by what was happening.

Zhi Qingyu looked around, full of confusion, noticing the Zhi martial artists' expressions had changed as if something had transformed in their bodies, although he felt nothing himself.

Hai Tianshang's heart pounded, an inexplicable sense of foreboding rising, urging Zhi Changmei, "Senior Zhi Changmei, what are you waiting for? Quickly kill Chu Nan!"

Just then, Zhi Jiang suddenly said, "Third Ancestor, wait, my Demon Blood issue has been resolved!"

Soon after, the East City Lord, a robust middle-aged man, said, "Third Ancestor, my Demon Blood issue seems to have disappeared too..."

"Me too."

"I think so as well!"

"Ah~ this feeling is so wondrous, it's like a mountain has been lifted off my back. Is this what it feels like for the Demon Blood issue to be completely gone?"
