Zhi Changmei retorted, "The Desolate Ancient Holy Hall harbors the ambition of a wolf. Who knows if they're creating the Blood Array to save the Zhi family or to harm us!"

"Chu Nan, our young friend, is filled with sincerity, and his methods of curing the Demon Blood have been witnessed by all."

"I can only feel at ease cooperating with him. I will soon drive those martial artists of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall out, dismantle the Blood Array, and transform it back into Cultivation Resources!"

Collaborating with Chu Nan can avoid the risk of being secretly harmed or controlled by the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, so Zhi Changmei naturally stands firmly by his side.

Chu Nan also advised, "Senior, as I've said, if you don't believe, why not give it a try? If I can't cure you, I, Chu Nan, will immediately leave the Zhi Family Secret Realm and never return."

Hearing Chu Nan's words, Zhi Polang sneered, "Come and go as you please, what do you take the Zhi Family Secret Realm for?"

After speaking, Zhi Polang suddenly looked at Zhi Changmei and said, "The collaboration between the Zhi family and the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall is not just to cure the Demon Blood defect, but also for both parties to unite and take revenge against the Qin Kingdom."

"You just said the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall might harm us, but why have I heard that Chu Nan is backed by the Slaughter Emperor Sect."

"The Slaughter Emperor Sect's apparent power is even more terrifying than the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall. Cooperating with Chu Nan, isn't it like negotiating with a tiger?"

Zhi Changmei was left speechless, as indeed, rumors that Chu Nan was a martial artist of the Slaughter Emperor Sect were spreading in the Zhi Family Secret Realm.

Initially, most people dismissed it as nonsense, as Chu Nan didn't seem like an assassin.

But now, even Zhi Polang doubted Chu Nan's identity, causing most people to question and look at him with a hint of dread, growing more cautious of their surroundings.

The Slaughter Emperor Sect, as the holy land for assassins in the Celestial Crossing Realm, was notorious.

Their assassins were skilled in disguise and stealth, with methods of striking deadly blows.

If Chu Nan really was a martial artist from the Slaughter Emperor Sect, then more assassins may have already infiltrated the Zhi Family Secret Realm, and this terrifying force could launch a deadly strike at any moment!

Zhi Changmei and Zhi Jiang, of course, didn't believe Chu Nan was from the Slaughter Emperor Sect. After all, from what Zhi Qingge learned, Chu Nan was just a loose cultivator from a Sect.

To come this far relied entirely on talent and opportunity, with no shadow of the Slaughter Emperor Sect.

"Senior, even if I were part of the Slaughter Emperor Sect, so what? Everyone has witnessed the ability to cure the Zhi family's Demon Blood defect. That cannot be faked!" It was pointless to defend his innocence and would only fall into Zhi Polang's trap.

Better to seize his advantage and refute the other party.

Zhi Changmei nodded and said, "The hidden danger of the Demon Blood defect grows more severe, and we cannot wait any longer. Chu Nan can treat the Zhi family martial artists now. Even if he truly is from the Slaughter Emperor Sect with ulterior motives, I accept it!"

He stood firmly on Chu Nan's side, rebutting Zhi Polang.

"Hmph!" Zhi Polang snorted coldly, "Fine, fine, fine. Zhi Changmei, you little brat, dare to rebut me today."

"If that's the case, let's each go our way. You seek Chu Nan, I'll turn to the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, and see who can restore the Zhi family to its peak!"

With that, Zhi Polang flicked his sleeve and left, flying in the direction of the Blood Array being built in the Zhi Family Secret Realm.

With Zhi Polang's departure, most Zhi family martial artists hurriedly followed, though some wished to support Chu Nan, they dared not go against Zhi Polang's displayed stance.

"Third Ancestor, I apologize, the Great Ancestor has been a mentor to me, I must follow him."

"Third Ancestor, the Great Ancestor is the actual head of the Zhi family. I hope you don't estrange yourself from him."

"Third Ancestor, we shall meet again..."

Even Zhi Qingyu, severely injured by Zhi Polang, spat a few mouthfuls of blood but followed Zhi Polang without resentment.

Zhi Changmei, witnessing this scene, felt rather helpless. Zhi Polang was the oldest strong warrior of the Zhi family, almost belonging to the same era as the Zhi family ancestor who made the family a Strong Race.

His influence in the Zhi family was immensely high, and even Zhi Changmei was trained by him.

With just a word, Zhi Polang could make most Zhi family martial artists firmly believe and follow him to death!

This scene was not unexpected to Zhi Changmei, but he still resolutely supported Chu Nan and said, "Chu Nan, see that? When the Great Ancestor makes a move, most people side with him."

"Soon, I will take you to save Zhi Changgeng, you must not let me down."

"You need to use your strength to fiercely slap the faces of the Great Ancestor and the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, or else we will all eventually suffer a crushing defeat!"

Zhi Changmei sighed deeply and looked into the distance outside Zhitian City, towards a gleaming red light, the direction of the Blood Array.

With the Blood Array's glow getting stronger, he felt a sense of conspiracy and danger from it.

"Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, whatever you plan, I, Zhi Changmei, will accompany the Zhi family to the end!" Zhi Changmei coldly snorted in his heart, secretly vowing.

From the moment Hai Wujie's clone quietly appeared to kill Chu Nan, Zhi Changmei was convinced that the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall's purpose in building the Blood Array was not just for cooperation.

Behind the Blood Array, there must be a terrifying plot targeting the Zhi family!

Soon, under Zhi Changmei's lead, Chu Nan returned to the place where Zhi Changgeng was sealed.

Even though it wasn't his first time here, and Chu Nan's Cultivation had advanced tremendously, the scene still overwhelmed him.

With his improved Cultivation, Chu Nan even noticed details he couldn't perceive before.

Zhi Changgeng was actually a pinnacle Five Heaven Realm expert, much stronger than Zhi Changmei. If not for his madness, he might have already broken through to the Cloud Sea Realm.

A blood-red figure rampaged within the Array, seeming to never pause, entirely dyed in blood, with fingernails worn clean from his continuous frenzy.

The aura of insanity enveloped him, forming a gigantic skeletal figure, a mere glance would make Chu Nan's Sea of Consciousness tremble uncontrollably, as if he witnessed the world's most terrifying entity.

"How is it, can it be cured?" Zhi Changmei once again asked Chu Nan.

Chu Nan, with a serious expression, slowly said, "Though I can restore Senior Zhi Changgeng, you will need to personally hold him down."

"Moreover, as Senior Zhi Changgeng is still a Five Heaven Realm expert, the treatment process will be slow. I hope you can hold on longer."

Hearing Chu Nan's words, Zhi Changmei wasn't surprised, but rather relieved.

If he claimed it could be cured instantly, Zhi Changmei would indeed suspect Chu Nan had ulterior motives in approaching the Zhi family.

"Rest assured, this place's Array is quite profound. With me overseeing it, Zhi Changgeng will be unable to use any Spiritual Power for three days."

"Then you can enter the Array to treat him."

Chu Nan nodded silently, as it was his first time healing such a formidable martial artist, he couldn't help but feel uneasy.

But if successful, he would earn Zhi Changmei's complete trust!
