"Chu Nan, I hope you can explain what exactly is going on here!" Zhi Changmei's face was cold, filled with undisguised killing intent.

It was as if she were about to strike and kill Chu Nan in the next moment.

Behind Zhi Changmei, Spirit Corpse Zhi Changgeng also slowly flew over. Ignoring Zhi Changmei, he stood directly behind Chu Nan, silently guarding.

Chu Nan instantly understood that Zhi Changmei had already discovered Zhi Changgeng's death and his transformation into a Spirit Corpse.

After all, the opponent was a Five Heavens expert, who could perceive everything with just a little contact.

Zhi Changmei naturally understood Chu Nan's identity long ago through investigations by Zhi Qingge and others.

As the Young Sect Leader of the Spirit Corpse Sect in the Qin Kingdom, capable of corpse refinement, Spirit Corpse Lu Yao by his side was the best evidence.

Therefore, there was no one else but Chu Nan who could have refined Zhi Changgeng into a Spirit Corpse.

Chu Nan was unafraid, with Spirit Corpse Zhi Changgeng and Lu Yao protecting him, even if Zhi Changmei took action, it wouldn't kill him.

The only regret was that if that happened, he and the Zhi family would have no possibility of cooperation and instead become mortal enemies.

So Chu Nan explained, "When I entered the array, I discovered Zhi Changgeng was actually already dead, and what was controlling him was a mad demonic consciousness and... a Split Soul of the Eighth Hall Master, Withered Soul, of the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall!"

Subsequently, Chu Nan informed Zhi Changmei of everything he had learned about the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall's plot to besiege and seize Zhi Changgeng and the subsequent temptation to build the Blood Array.

However, he concealed the fact that it was because Chu Nan expelled the mad demonic consciousness that Zhi Changgeng's soul was devoured by Withered Soul.

In fact, it was indeed so. Chu Nan was wholeheartedly trying to save Zhi Changgeng, with no intention to harm him. Even Zhi Changmei did not know about the existence of Withered Soul's Split Soul, let alone him?

The root cause of Zhi Changgeng's soul scattering was Withered Soul and the information asymmetry.

After listening to Chu Nan's narration, Zhi Changmei's expression slightly softened, but still appeared extremely grim, "You mean, Zhi Changgeng was actually dead long ago, and it was the mad demonic consciousness and Withered Soul's Split Soul battling within him all along?"

Chu Nan nodded slightly, feeling somewhat regretful, "After I dispelled the mad demonic consciousness, I was ambushed by Withered Soul's Split Soul. If my soul weren't strong, it would've been devoured by Withered Soul as well."

"Though Withered Soul's Split Soul was killed, Zhi Changgeng could not be resurrected. Plus, seeing the attack from the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall experts, the situation was precarious, so I had no choice but to refine Zhi Changgeng into a Spirit Corpse."

Zhi Changmei was silent for a long time, unable to refute Chu Nan's words, as the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall had already attacked, many facts were laid bare, forcing him to believe.

Yet, he was unwilling, his long efforts ended in failure.

Especially upon seeing Zhi Changgeng, who was like a brother to him, becoming this neither-dead-nor-alive figure, Zhi Changmei couldn't help but feel a surge of sorrow.

Seeing this scene, Chu Nan hurriedly said, "Rest assured, senior, I have no intention of coveting Senior Zhi Changgeng's corpse. I can return it to you now."

"What we shouldn't be doing now is mourning; we should be driving out the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall Martial Artists and avenging the dead."

Hearing Chu Nan's words, Zhi Changmei was immediately invigorated, his eyes flashing with fury, "You're right, avenging the slain!"

"The Desolate Ancient Holy Hall harmed my brother, killed my clansmen, this hatred is irreconcilable, especially Withered Soul whom I must personally execute."

Zhi Changmei was not a petty person; he knew what to do next, so he said to Chu Nan, "You control Zhi Changgeng's body for now, it's not too late to return him to the Zhi family after we've driven back the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall."

"Now, let's head to the Blood Array and join Zhi Polang."

Chu Nan remained silent for a moment, fearing that Zhi Changmei didn't know one of the reasons for the current disaster was Zhi Polang's indirect instigation.

Zhi Polang hadn't fallen into madness, but his mind was already influenced by Demon Blood.

His actions had become reckless and extremely brutal.

If killing Zhi Changmei could suppress the mad consciousness, Zhi Polang might not hesitate to kill Zhi Changmei!

But Chu Nan didn't say more, nor did he agree with Zhi Changmei. Instead, he looked around the Ancestral Land and said, "Senior, I will have Senior Zhi Changgeng assist in the battle. Right now, I want to help all Zhi Family Martial Artists in Zhitian City eliminate the Demon Blood's hidden dangers."

"I have a vague feeling that eliminating the Demon Blood's hidden dangers now might be greatly useful!"

"Once I've healed everyone in Zhitian City, I'll come look for you."

Zhi Changmei nodded, expressing approval.

Although Chu Nan's strength was strong, on a battlefield of Nine Heavens cultivators, he couldn't significantly influence the war's outcome.

It was better to have Chu Nan heal all Zhi Family Martial Artists and head towards the Blood Array to assist in battle, which might yield miraculous effects.

"Alright, I'll be waiting for your good news then," Zhi Changmei then flew away towards the location of the Blood Array.

Zhi Changmei left under Chu Nan's command, leaving only Chu Nan, Lu Yao, and the captured Hai Tianshang in the Ancestral Land in a blink of an eye.

"Chu Nan, what are you going to do?" Lu Yao asked, puzzled.

In her opinion, curing the Zhi Family Martial Artists of the Demon Blood's hidden dangers at this moment was unnecessary and a waste of time.

Chu Nan surveyed the entire Zhitian City, then said, "Just watch, senior. The Desolate Ancient Holy Hall intends to use the Zhi family's Demon Blood to refine the Ancestral Bloodline, and I also intend to use this Demon Blood to forge a weapon that could potentially turn the tide!"

With that, Chu Nan spread the Sea of Blood, covering the entire Zhi family Ancestral Land in an instant.

Chu Nan operated his Spiritual Sense, locking onto all the surviving Martial Artists here, saying, "Let's begin now!"

...

Zhi Family Secret Realm, above the Blood Array.

Zhi Polang manipulated the slaying Cloud Sea, shaking heaven and earth, resonating with heaven's killing intent, countless killing moves like a storm, not at all disadvantaged even when fighting one against two.

Hai Wujie controlled the Sea of Blood, and Raging Flame released the Sea of Poison, relentlessly bombarding Zhi Polang, attempting to kill this killing star.

Around the Blood Array, Slaughter Emperor Sect's Kings of Slaughter had already engaged in battle with the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall Martial Artists who had arrived through the Blood Array transport.

These Kings of Slaughter rolled out from mountains of corpses and seas of blood, possessing incredibly rich combat experience.

Even though they were outnumbered by the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, they were not at a disadvantage and were in a stalemate.

At the same time, eggshells continued to appear within the Blood Array, one Martial Artist after another joined the battlefield, regardless of Cloud Sea Realm or Divine Illumination Realm all throwing themselves into the fighting.

"Zhi Polang, we have schemed here for many years in the Desolate Ancient Holy Hall, today your Zhi family will surely perish. I advise you to surrender and save your life, otherwise, your entire Zhi family will accompany you to the grave!"

Hai Wujie laughed wildly, the Sea of Blood vast and boundless, the seven layers of the Cloud Sea almost covered the entire sky, while Raging Flame's Sea of Poison was not at a disadvantage either.

In addition, Zhi Polang's slaying Cloud Sea made half of the Zhi Family Secret Realm seem to fall into an apocalypse.

Zhi Polang's eyes grew more frenzied; fighting one against two, the pressure was immense, only by activating the power of Demon Blood for a brief explosion could he vaguely suppress the two, but there was never an opportunity to kill one of them.
