Hai Tianshang departed, and the group of martial artists from the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall hurriedly left upon seeing this scene.

Without Hai Tianshang here to guard, how could they dare to flaunt their prowess?

Only Zhi Qingyu was left looking bewildered, for he truly hadn't anticipated the outcome to be like this.

This was initially a killing move using the Blood Array to threaten Chu Nan, yet unexpectedly, it was effortlessly resolved by him. Even when force was directly applied, Hai Tianshang couldn't do anything to Chu Nan and left in embarrassment.

Zhi Qingyu felt like he had become a rootless duckweed, as he was merely at the ninth level of the Divine Illumination Realm, definitely not a match for Chu Nan.

A strong fear rose in his heart, dreading that Chu Nan might resort to killing.

Yet Chu Nan didn't even glance at Zhi Qingyu, for in his eyes, Zhi Qingyu was merely an insignificant ant.

At any time, he was just a pawn manipulated by others.

At this moment, Zhi Jiang approached Zhi Changmei and said, "Third Ancestor, are we really not going to cooperate with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall anymore?"

Severing ties with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall is no trivial matter. Though we have Chu Nan, it is, after all, the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, one of the top forces in the Celestial Crossing Realm.

It is definitely not something the Zhi Family can contend with presently.

If the Zhi Family Secret Realm wasn't in Mosen Province but in the Great Desert, the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall could have easily breached the Zhi Family Secret Realm and annihilated the clan!

"The Desolate Ancient Holy Hall has the ambition of a wolf. I have a vague feeling they are eyeing the Zhi Family covetously, it's definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface." Zhi Changmei said, "If it weren't for needing their Blood Array, I wouldn't cooperate with them."

"But now it's different. We have Little Friend Chu Nan, and the drawbacks of Demon Blood are no longer a concern. Naturally, we need to immediately expel the people from the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall from the Zhi Family Secret Realm."

"Not only do we need to expel them, but we also have to relocate the Secret Realm and completely sever ties with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall."

The Zhi Family holds the method to relocate the Secret Realm. If it weren't for this move, it would have been discovered by strong and royal races long ago.

Seeing Zhi Changmei's determined demeanor, Zhi Jiang knew that the Third Ancestor's mind was made up, so he decided to inform the others below.

"It's my great fortune that a senior chose me. I will not let you down." Chu Nan smiled slightly. This is the first step of cooperation between the two parties. With deepened connections, the Zhi Family will surely become a solid backing for him!

Zhi Changmei nodded slightly, looking at Chu Nan with increasing satisfaction, as if he had never intended to kill Chu Nan moments ago.

Just as they were about to discuss the next steps for cooperation, a cold snort came from afar: "The cooperation with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall cannot be terminated!"

Upon hearing this voice, all the Zhi Family martial artists in the main hall changed their expressions.

Following the sound, they saw an old man in a black robe slowly approaching, his naked feet walking through the air, and an invisible terrifying aura spreading around him.

"Great Ancestor!"

"It's the Great Ancestor!"

"The Great Ancestor has exited seclusion!"

Exclamations of astonishment continued, as everyone bowed and saluted in unison, "Greetings, Great Ancestor!"

Especially Zhi Qingyu, who was the most excited; the Great Ancestor had exited seclusion. He was the staunchest supporter of the cooperation between the Zhi Family and the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.

As long as he was there, there was no worry that things would get out of control, and he would still be the Young Master of the Zhi Family.

Chu Nan looked at the Great Ancestor, slightly intimidated by his aura. This person's strength was far above that of Zhi Changmei from the aura he emitted.

Chu Nan speculated in his heart that the Great Ancestor might be a Seventh Heaven expert!

A cultivator with the Nine Heavens Secret Technique, the more the Sea of Clouds, the stronger the strength; perhaps this Great Ancestor's power was not something that even five of Zhi Changmei could contend with.

This indeed was the terrifying deterrent power of the Zhi Family's foremost expert, absolutely overwhelming.

"Why have you exited seclusion?" Seeing the Great Ancestor, Zhi Changmei couldn't help but frown.

The Great Ancestor flew to Zhi Changmei's front, without answering his question, and looked at Chu Nan saying, "So, you're Chu Nan? I just heard of your recent rampant behavior in our Zhi Family Secret Realm upon exiting seclusion?"

The Great Ancestor's words were clearly laced with censure, his intentions against Chu Nan were very obvious.

"Great Ancestor, you're right. This Chu Nan has been trying to undermine our cooperation plans with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall!" Zhi Qingyu st

epped forward, immediately pointing at Chu Nan.

"Did I ask you to speak? Shut up!" But unexpectedly, upon hearing Zhi Qingyu's words, the Great Ancestor was furious, with his eyes flashing red, in a state seemingly uncontrolled by Demon Blood, he struck out suddenly.

Bang!

Zhi Qingyu's body flew backward, continuously spitting blood, already heavily injured.

Chu Nan was inwardly shocked upon seeing this scene, filled with vigilance against the suddenly appearing Zhi Family Great Ancestor.

This guy was clearly under the influence of Demon Blood corruption, striking almost to the point of killing Zhi Qingyu over a single extra word, ruthlessly to the extreme.

Even Zhi Changmei slightly frowned and said, "Zhi Polang, something seems wrong with your condition, you should quickly return to seclusion."

Upon hearing Zhi Changmei's admonition, the Great Ancestor Zhi Polang snorted coldly, then said, "Zhi Changmei, you have no authority over me."

"In fact, both Zhi Changgeng and you are my juniors. I fought alongside the Zhi Family ancestors in the Qin Kingdom while you all were still toddlers just learning to walk!"

Hearing Zhi Polang's words, Chu Nan couldn't help being secretly amazed.

This guy was not only possibly a Seventh Heaven expert but also extremely ancient, a witness to the ups and downs of the Zhi Family.

Zhi Changmei was left speechless by Zhi Polang's words, expressing dissatisfaction with a cold snort.

Zhi Polang, however, completely ignored him. Although Zhi Changmei was a Fifth Heaven expert, he was forever just a child in Zhi Polang's eyes.

He looked at Chu Nan, snorted coldly, and said, "I just asked you a question, did you hear it?"

Chu Nan understood that Zhi Polang, under the influence of Demon Blood defects, had no control over his thoughts.

If Zhi Qingyu got injured for just speaking too much, how much more dangerous it was for him, Chu Nan?

Thus, Chu Nan said, "Junior did not come to disrupt your plans with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, but to help the Zhi Family escape from the Sea of Suffering."

"As for the effects of the Blood Array, perhaps even you, senior, are unsure about it. But my Sea of Blood is guaranteed to heal you completely."

"If senior doesn't believe me, you can try it yourself."

Zhi Changmei's face instantly lit up with joy, if Chu Nan could even cure Zhi Polang's Demon Blood defects, then curing Zhi Changgeng would naturally not be an issue.

Even if it didn't work, there would be no harm to Zhi Polang.

"Zhi Polang, why not try it?" Zhi Changmei also followed up on Chu Nan's suggestion.

Faced with this completely beneficial proposal, unexpectedly, Zhi Polang directly refused and reprimanded, "Rubbish, who knows if this kid will harm me? You don't trust the ancient Desolate Holy Hall, but instead trust this Chu Nan, how foolish!"

Zhi Changmei's face turned ugly, and even Chu Nan felt a hint of dissatisfaction with Zhi Polang.

If it weren't for the fact that the opponent's cultivation was too strong and required voluntary cooperation to open up his body, Chu Nan would have already released the Blood Dao Cloud Sea to treat Zhi Polang to awaken him.
