"Bastard, how can this be!"
"Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, you motherless beasts, you deserve to die..."
"I don't want to die, I don't want to die, Ancestor, please save me!"
The Martial Artists behind saw their clansmen all turning into blood and cursed in fear, but their figures were soon completely engulfed by the Sea of Blood, in the blink of an eye leaving only Hai Wujie alone.
Swallowing five thousand people in one breath, Hai Wujie felt no satisfaction. Sensing the faint rise in cultivation, he started eyeing the Blood Array with even more greed, saying: "Come on, come on, come faster!"
The construction of the Blood Array was never meant to save the Zhi Family Martial Artist, but was a conspiracy by the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall to seize the Demon Blood within the Zhi Family.
In their eyes, Zhi Family Martial Artists were no longer considered Martial Artists but living resources capable of bringing great benefits to the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.
For this reason, they researched and developed a simplified Blood Array that seemed to suppress the hidden perils of Demon Blood but was actually a lure to trick the Zhi Family into constructing a giant Blood Array.
In the opinion of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, this scheme would certainly succeed because the Zhi Family had no choice!
Zhi Family Secret Realm, Blood Array!
Under the instruction of Zhi Polang and the manipulation of Hai Tianshang, three batches of Zhi Family Martial Artists, totaling fifteen thousand people, had already been thrown into the Blood Array.
In the eyes of the Zhi Family Martial Artists, they were merely entering the space of the Blood Array in advance to eliminate the disadvantages of Demon Blood and enjoy great benefits.
The people behind were also full of anticipation, waiting for the moment to enter the Blood Array and rid themselves of hidden dangers.
However, despite such a grand event for the Zhi Family, Zhi Polang's face remained as gloomy as ice, like a volcano ready to erupt at any moment.
Looking at the increasing number of Zhi Family Martial Artists being put in, Hai Tianshang suppressed his inner excitement to keep from laughing.
His father, Hai Wujie, cultivated in Blood Dao, and with the construction of this Blood Array, Hai Wujie was undoubtedly the greatest beneficiary.
Not only could he accomplish the task assigned by the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, but he could also use the Blood Array to absorb the essence of Demon Blood from the Zhi Family Martial Artists, achieving a breakthrough to reach the Seventh Heaven of the Cloud Sea Realm!
A strong figure of the Seventh Heaven in the circle of Ninth Heaven cultivators would still be among the top ranks, making it not so easy for even a higher Eighth Heaven powerhouse to kill him.
The thought of Hai Wujie breaking through to the Seventh Heaven made Hai Tianshang's lips twist into a grin.
Most importantly, as soon as Hai Wujie broke through in cultivation, he could immediately kill his way to the Zhi Family through the Blood Array from the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.
At that time, he wouldn't even have to fear Zhi Polang, and the once-strong Zhi Family would thoroughly become history today!
...
"Chu Nan, you can't defeat me, I am the Eighth Hall Master of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall!"
"Your soul is bound to be devoured by me, no one can save you."
"Ah! Ah! Ah!"
Chu Nan operated Soul Devourer, frantically consuming the soul of Withered Soul. As the opponent's soul power was continuously digested, his own soul began to radiate brightly, bursting out with a splendor like that of the sun.
"Withered Soul, you are at your wits' end, it's time to let go of your noble stature."
Chu Nan's face was cold, and under the dual influence of Soul Devourer and a maddening consciousness, the strong-willed Split Soul of Withered Soul was retreating step by step.
By devouring the other's soul, Chu Nan saw the memories concerning Withered Soul, but most of these memories were related to the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall's plans against the Zhi Family.
The Desolate Ancient Holy Hall was extremely old, even aware of the power of the Ancestral Bloodline, and had been studying it all along.
Among them, the Demon Blood inside the Zhi Family was discovered to be a diluted version of the Ancestral Bloodline by them.
To obtain the Zhi Family's Demon Blood, the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall immediately devised a plan centered on the Zhi Family!
The original plan was to allow Withered Soul to seize Zhi Changgeng, breach and disintegrate from within, slaughter the high-levels of the Zhi Family, and make the Zhi Family a breeding ground producing Demon Blood endlessly for the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall.
But the seizing did not go smoothly, Zhi Changgeng escaped back to the Zhi Family and was sealed away.
So they changed their plan, deceiving the Zhi Family with the Blood Array to let Hai Wujie, who cultivates Blood Dao, absorb and refine the traces of Ancestral Bloodline contained in the Zhi Family's Demon Blood.
This method was extremely cruel, if successful, the Zhi Family would truly disappear from the Celestial Crossing Realm, and the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall could also refine the Ancestral Bloodline.
Although this bloodline might not even match the Crying Blood Jiao Python, nor the Ancestral Bloodline of the Earth Qi Thunder Roar Tiger.
As the Soul Devourer once again consumed a large portion of Withered Soul's soul, Chu Nan slowly said, "Since your plans have been discovered by me, I will make sure to stop them, the Blood Array will not succeed!"
Once the truth is revealed and the Blood Array destroyed, the plans of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall would collapse on their own accord.
Unexpectedly, hearing Chu Nan's words, Withered Soul instead burst out into a complacent laugh.
Although he knew he would certainly be defeated by Chu Nan, he still rejoiced immensely and said, "Chu Nan, you still underestimate the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, underestimate the wickedness of human hearts!"
"If my estimate is correct, the Zhi Family's Blood Array has already been completed and might be operational now, the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall's plan will soon succeed."
Chu Nan coldly refuted, "I'll kill you first and then go out to reveal the truth, there is still time for everything."
Once the conspiracy is exposed, the Zhi Family wouldn't tolerate the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall!
Withered Soul laughed wildly and said, "It's too late, too late!"
"Chu Nan, think carefully, the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall's Blood Array plan might seem meticulous, but in reality, it is full of holes. We almost succeeded in building the Blood Array without any cost, don't you want to know why?"
Chu Nan frowned, and his expression gradually turned somber. With Withered Soul's reminder, he realized there was indeed a major problem here.
The Zhi Family built the Blood Array, spending several million yuan stone without verifying its effects, even in urgency it shouldn't be so hasty.
Withered Soul continued, "When a few years ago, Zhi Changgeng returned to the Zhi Family, he wasn't mad from the beginning."
"Guess, before he went mad, could he have revealed the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall's plot against the Zhi Family?"
At these words, Chu Nan was shocked, his heart pounding as he suddenly turned back to look at the direction of the Blood Array in his memory.
His tone turned heavy, somewhat terrifying, "Could it be... this is too terrifying!"
...
As time passed, more large numbers of Zhi Family Martial Artists were thrown into the Blood Array. Until the Blood Array had engulfed nearly thirty thousand Zhi Family Martial Artists, Zhi Polang suddenly looked towards Hai Tianshang and said, "Hai Wujie, isn't he coming yet?"
These words made Hai Tianshang slightly stunned, a bit puzzled, he said, "Senior, what do you mean by that?"
Zhi Polang's eagle-like eyes and stern gaze caused Hai Tianshang to tremble, and his voice was like a heavy hammer, striking hard at Hai Tianshang's heart:
"After Zhi Changgeng returned to the Zhi Family, he once told me the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall was plotting against the Demon Blood in our Zhi Family Martial Artists."
"So when your Desolate Ancient Holy Hall approached the Zhi Family wanting to construct the Blood Array, I already knew, you are wolves with wild ambitions!"
At these words, Hai Tianshang's expression suddenly changed, he retreated more than ten steps but stubbornly insisted, "Senior, I don't understand what you're saying."
