After slaying the bandits and intimidating the crowd, the Demon Beast Convoy once again embarked on the journey to An Ding County.

Due to several carriages being damaged in the battle, many people were forced to squeeze together, but Chu Nan was not worried about these.

He saw through the ugly faces of these people and did not hesitate to occupy a carriage, heading towards An Ding County with the unconscious purple-clad girl.

The others dared not disobey, for they had clearly witnessed Chu Nan's strength, and even if they were a thousand times unwilling, they did not dare to confront him.

Even the two Yang Wheel Realm men in black temporarily abandoned the thought of taking action.

"The man who took away the remnant of the Zhi family has an unknown identity. He killed Li Linglong without any hesitation, possibly of extraordinary background. We should observe and act when the opportunity arises."

They were extremely vigilant and refrained from taking rash actions.

Thus, two more days passed, and the severely injured purple-clad girl in Chu Nan's carriage finally awakened.

The purple-clad girl slowly opened her eyes, staring blankly at her surroundings, and upon noticing Chu Nan, she was somewhat surprised: "I... am not dead?"

In her view, with the exposure of her Zhi family remnant identity, being poisoned, and seriously injured.

In such circumstances, she was bound to be slain by Martial Artists who loathe Demon Blood, so she was indeed surprised to still be alive.

Chu Nan calmly replied, "With me here, you won't die."

Though his goal was to learn from the purple-clad girl the information regarding the life possessing the Ancestral Bloodline, he did not miss the chance to win her over.

The purple-clad girl slowly sat up, realizing it was Chu Nan, thus sincerely said, "Thank you this time, but I advise you to stay away from me, as my identity will only bring you trouble."

"I am a great trouble myself, perhaps not worse than you," Chu Nan inquired casually, "I am called Chu Nan, from Cyan Profound Mansion's Cyan Profound Martial Academy. May I know your name?"

The purple-clad girl sighed upon hearing and then introduced herself: "I am Zhi Qingge, formerly a descendant of the Zhi family, a Strong Race in the Imperial Capital, but now just a fugitive who dares not reveal her identity."

Zhi Qingge's eyes were filled with sadness, feeling very pessimistic about her situation.

Chu Nan was somewhat surprised that the so-called Zhi family was once a Strong Race in the Imperial Capital, such a powerful force now turned into a street rat, it's truly bewildering.

"In a way, we share the same fate, in fact, there are many who also want to kill me," Chu Nan joked about himself and then, curiously asked, "Miss Zhi, what exactly is the Demon Blood they speak of?"

Zhi Qingge was somewhat surprised, never expecting someone would not know about Demon Blood, so she explained: "The so-called Demon Blood is a mysterious bloodline that Zhi family ancestors once unintentionally fused within some ruins."

"The Demon Blood made every Martial Artist of the Zhi family gifted with extraordinary prowess, far exceeding peers, which in under two hundred years made the Zhi family one of the Strong Races in the Imperial Capital!"

Chu Nan's breathing gradually became rapid, could it be that the mysterious bloodline once fused by Zhi family ancestors came from a life possessing an Ancestral Bloodline?

To enable a Martial Arts Family to rise to a strong race within just two hundred years, this Ancestral Bloodline must be extremely dense, undoubtedly surpassing the Earth Qiming Thunder Tiger!

His gaze swept back and forth over Zhi Qingge, seeing her as an invaluable figure already.

"What happened later? Since the Zhi family had risen to a Strong Race, why did it come to such a dire state?"

Zhi Qingge's eyes flashed with sorrow as she said: "According to my grandfather and rumors throughout the Qin Kingdom, I understand that although the mysterious bloodline acquired by the ancestors brought great benefits to the Zhi family, it also had drawbacks."

"The bloodline is cruel and domineering, the power of Demon Blood can bring extremely potent strength in a short time."

"But this power erodes sanity, severe stimuli can lead martial artists directly into madness, losing their senses and becoming mere killing machines."

"A century ago, due to the demise of his partner, the ancestor descended into madness, executing massacres in the Imperial Capital, causing Zhi family members who shared the same origin to resonate, leading most to lose their sanity, bringing great disaster to the Qin Kingdom."

Chu Nan was shocked, a family that could rise to a Strong Race in the Imperial Capital must have more than ten Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artists.

If such terrifying power goes insane and starts indiscriminately killing, the disaster caused is beyond imagination.

No wonder those people are so averse to Zhi Qingge, he too wouldn't dare stay with someone who could threaten his life and go mad at any time.

"Later, the Royal Family led strong race martial artists to jointly exterminate the Zhi family, ending the calamity, and declared the Zhi family's special bloodline as Demon Blood, ordering a hunt nationwide."

"The Zhi family survivors went into hiding until fifty years ago when the Royal Family ordered the cessation of their hunting, only then did they dare to emerge."

"But even so, our Zhi family still dares not expose our bloodline, fearing to attract disaster."

Chu Nan remained silent upon hearing this, today's result for the Zhi family is also considered self-inflicted.

But this further piqued Chu Nan's curiosity as to which Ancestral Bloodline was flowing in the Zhi family's veins to be so powerful.

Even after hundreds of years, it still can exhibit such formidable effects.

After hearing the explanation, Chu Nan sighed and then asked: "What are your plans next?"

He has done his utmost in rescuing Zhi Qingge, Chu Nan plans to part ways after obtaining information about the source of Demon Blood.

Zhi Qingge's face showed determination: "I hate the Demon Blood within me, it's this Demon Blood that brought my Zhi family to its current plight."

"I hope to find a way to eliminate the Demon Blood, so my Zhi family no longer has to worry about going insane in the future."

"Actually during the battle with Wang Hu, I could have used the Demon Blood's power to kill him in one move, but the more the Demon Blood's power is used, the heavier the erosion on consciousness becomes, I'd rather die than turn into a mere killing machine."

Chu Nan nodded silently in approval, such uncontrollable power is best discarded early, by no means should one become obsessed like the Zhi family's ancestor and fall into madness.

"Perhaps the way to eliminate Demon Blood lies in the Secret Realm where your ancestor fused with the Demon Blood, why not explore it?"

He said this to ascertain the location of the Demon Blood's source from Zhi Qingge, so he might seize the opportunity in the future to explore it and seize the Ancestral Bloodline within!

As for the Ancestral Bloodline in Zhi Qingge's body, Chu Nan viewed it as beneath his notice.

The Ancestral Bloodline aura in her was too weak, not even matching the Earth Qiming Thunder Tiger, thus Chu Nan did not plan to seize her bloodline.

Moreover, seizing it would lead to Zhi Qingge's death.

Chu Nan conducts himself with principles, unwilling to kill for a mere trifling bit of Ancestral Bloodline.
