The joys and cheers around the main hall rose and fell, but the Zhi Family Martial Artists who, like Zhi Qingyu, suggested to Zhi Changmei to kill Chu Nan felt nothing, all showing a look of confusion.

"Senior Zhi Changmei, join me in killing Chu Nan, don't you want to cooperate with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall? Don't you want to use the Blood Array to save the Zhi Family Martial Artists?"

Hai Tianshang was also a decisive person. Seeing the martial artists' reactions all around, he immediately realized that after Chu Nan broke through to the Cloud Sea Realm, he somehow could use the Sea of Clouds to heal the Zhi Family Martial Artists.

Although the coverage of the Sea of Clouds wasn't as extensive as the Blood Array forged by the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, it was convenient!

It could be cast by Chu Nan alone, and wherever he went, he could use it, with almost no drawbacks other than some consumption of Spiritual Power.

There was no need to say more about which held more value, the Blood Array or Chu Nan's methods.

Hai Tianshang couldn't wait for Zhi Changmei to think it through before acting. He decided to kill Chu Nan right away, leading him and Hai Tianshang to stand together!

Bang!

The floor beneath Hai Tianshang's feet shattered, and a mass of Sea of Blood soared into the sky, rushing straight towards Chu Nan.

He believed Zhi Changmei would stand with him, or at least be a bystander.

Just as Hai Tianshang was about to reach Chu Nan, Zhi Changmei intervened!

Bam!

Zhi Changmei, with a single palm strike, knocked the airborne Hai Tianshang down, crashing heavily to the ground.

"Hall Master Hai!" Zhi Qingyu's expression changed drastically, as Zhi Changmei actually intervened against Hai Tianshang.

Hai Tianshang stood up, furious and disheveled, and angrily said to Zhi Changmei, "Senior Zhi Changmei, don't you want to cooperate with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall anymore!"

Zhi Changmei stood in the air, looking down at Hai Tianshang and said, "Chu Nan's use of the Blood Dao Cloud Sea to heal the Zhi Family Martial Artists is clearly more effective and convenient than the Blood Array."

"As the current Captain of the Zhi Family, I now decide to stop cooperating with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall!"

His words shocked everyone present.

Zhi Changmei actually abandoned the cooperation with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, despite having spent treasures and resources worth no less than five million yuan stones to build the Blood Array.

Such a huge contributor, and yet Zhi Changmei just gave it up?

But soon, everyone understood.

The resources consumed by the Blood Array were vast, but its power had yet to manifest, and whether it was even useful remained uncertain.

Moreover, the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall has deep roots. Since entering into the cooperation, they've been exerting constant pressure, and what just happened was proof.

Hai Tianshang, a mere level five Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist, dared to use the Blood Array to threaten Zhi Changmei and the Zhi Family.

If the Blood Array succeeded, the Zhi Family would be further tied to the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, who knows what excessive demands they might make.

In comparison, cooperating with Chu Nan was much more pleasant.

They wouldn't need to spend huge resources, nor worry about dealing with the proverbial tiger.

Besides, Chu Nan's healing effect was clearly better than the ideal effect of the Blood Array, Zhi Changmei's choice to cooperate with Chu Nan came as no surprise.

"Senior Zhi Changmei, what did you say?" Hai Tianshang gritted his teeth, not expecting Zhi Changmei to change sides so quickly.

Just moments ago, he wanted to kill Chu Nan, and now he's cooperating with him again?

Zhi Qingyu was also baffled. If the Zhi Family stopped cooperating with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, then what would happen to him?

Chu Nan was actually pleased to see this, although Zhi Changmei's cooperation with him was entirely for the Zhi Family's sake, it couldn't prevent him from gaining benefits in the future.

"Senior, your wisdom is as bright as the sun, I shall not disappoint you," Chu Nan said, bowing from above.

Zhi Changmei looked at Chu Nan, a hint of apology in his eyes, and said, "Young friend Chu Nan, please forgive me earlier. As the ancestor of the Zhi Family, in that situation, I had to sacrifice you for the sake of the family."

"But rest assured, at this moment, you have shown sufficient sincerity and capability, I will not let the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall harm you in any way."

Chu Nan chuckled lightly and said, "No need to feel guilty, Senior. If I were in your position, I would make the same choice."

Though they reached a cooperation, both knew it was merely an exchange of benefits, as long as the Zhi Family needed Chu Nan, this alliance would not be easily broken.

"Third Ancestor, the cooperation with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall was decided by the three of you ancestors together. Shouldn't you discuss it with the First Ancestor before changing plans?" Zhi Qingyu was unwilling to see the cooperation between the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall and the Zhi Family end.

Once cooperation ceases, his position as the Young Clan Leader might be handed over to Zhi Qingge!

"The First Ancestor and Fourth Ancestor are absent, the Zhi Family listens to me. It's not your place to make judgments." Zhi Changmei snorted coldly, reprimanding Zhi Qingyu.

Zhi Qingyu looked fearful, but the unwillingness in his eyes couldn't be extinguished.

"Senior Zhi Changmei, putting aside the cooperation between the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall and your noble house, Chu Nan's private vendetta with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall must be resolved today."

"If you stop me, I will consider it an act of war by the Zhi Family against the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall!"

Hai Tianshang's eyes were filled with blood vessels. Since the plan to have Zhi Changmei kill Chu Nan failed, he decided to kill Chu Nan himself.

The aura of a level five Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist erupted, and his power was at least ten times stronger than Ge Bai's.

"What if there's a war?" Zhi Changmei snorted coldly upon hearing this, his white hair swirling wildly as if he were a sacred Buddha, "A mere level five Cloud Sea Realm practitioner dares to threaten me in the Zhi Family. It's suicidal!"

Zhi Changmei was determined to cooperate with Chu Nan and wanted to use this opportunity to punish Hai Tianshang, deepening their collaboration.

Just as he was about to strike, Chu Nan stopped him and said, "Senior, please hold on, let me personally confront Hai Tianshang to see what's the gap between my current self and a level five Cloud Sea Realm practitioner."

Zhi Changmei showed surprise and advised, "Young friend, don't be impulsive. Hai Tianshang is the son of Hai Wujie, his foundation is incredibly deep, far from being a typical level five Cloud Sea Realm practitioner."

"With your current strength, you're no match for him."

Zhi Changmei's concern was not an exaggeration, a Cloud Sea Realm Martial Artist finds it hard to fight above their rank, but significant differences exist within the same realm.

Hai Tianshang is a prime example of level five Cloud Sea Realm practitioners, even level six practitioners find him difficult to deal with.

Yet Chu Nan just waved it off, saying, "It's precisely because of his strength that I want to challenge him. Don't worry, Senior, I'll be fine."

Then he didn't dodge, instead facing Hai Tianshang head-on.

This scene left everyone stunned, no one expected that Chu Nan had such daring to challenge the level five Cloud Sea practitioner Hai Wujie immediately upon entering the Cloud Sea Realm.

Seeing Chu Nan coming face to face, Hai Tianshang laughed and said, "Chu Nan, you fool, if you stayed close to Zhi Changmei, I'd indeed have no way of dealing with you."

"But since you've come to me, don't blame me for this genius ending young!"

Faced with Hai Tianshang's mockery, Chu Nan merely smiled calmly, "Don't speak so boldly, your current strength is not enough to kill me."
