By the pond, in front of the hut.

The two sat opposite each other, with the fragrance of flowers, the breeze, and the song of birds.

It's completely different from the ice and snow in the outside world, and it really makes people feel like they're in a fairyland.

But Ye Ran will not have such a feeling, his heart can be said to be deep in hell now, accepting all kinds of suffering, which is diametrically opposed to the beauty of fairyland.

As soon as he thought that the dark tree in his body was exposed, Ye Ran felt a turmoil in his heart, the biggest secret was related to his own life and safety, which absolutely did not allow for the slightest difference.

The negative emotions brought out by the dark tree emerged, Ye Ran's eyes showed a terrifying red light, he moved with murderous intent, there is no doubt that the best way now is to get rid of the middle-aged man in front of him, protect himself, and hide the secret.

But this middle-aged man was able to peek into the secret in his heart, which was enough to show that the other party was extraordinary, and Ye Ran was not completely sure that he would kill the other party.

"Don't be nervous. ”

"I won't hurt you. ”

The middle-aged man's two words were like the sun in winter, and they hit Ye Ran's face and heart warmly, and at that moment, all the uneasy emotions stabilized.

The killing intent stems from uneasiness, and the strong killing intent naturally disappears.

Ye Ran was shocked, the other party made himself give up the idea of killing the other party with just two sentences, this method is too terrifying, right?

Ye Ran adjusted his sitting posture, he took a few deep breaths to calm the uneasiness in his heart, and then looked directly at the other party and asked,

"What do you see?"

The middle-aged man still maintained this indifferent appearance, and he was not surprised to see the secret hidden in Ye Ran's body.

"The main body has been obscured, but I can still see that the other party is from the demon race, and it is a very powerful demon race. The middle-aged man straightened the dirt stuck to his clothes, and was very serious.

Ye Ran couldn't help frowning, did the black qi emitted by this dark tree still cover its body? But although the other party didn't know that it was the dark tree hidden in his body, the black qi was undoubtedly revealed, which was enough to give the peerless powerhouse a reason to kill him.

"Since you said that you won't hurt me, then what is the purpose of bringing me here?" Ye Ran was silent for a long time, and asked the crux of the question.

So, what is your real purpose?

Could it be that it is just to confirm whether there is a demon hidden in my body?

If so, then your goal has been achieved, and I must begin to fear for my life!

Ye Ran pursed his lips tightly, where can he escape to? Although the Sunrise Continent is boundless, the power of the empire and the power of the Seven Academies can be said to be all over the Sunrise Continent, and no matter how far he escapes to the ends of the earth, he cannot escape from the palm of their hands.

What's more, there is a hidden demon clan in his body, and the horror of the demon clan is known even to young children, and he can be regarded as a public enemy of the whole people.

How is it possible for the power of one person to stand against the entire Sunrise Continent?

The extinction of the demons of the past turned the ocean into a dead and silent Stygian Sea, and divided the entire continent into three parts, leaving behind an impenetrable barrier.

Even if he had the Stygian Tree in his body, he was not sure that he would be able to break through the barrier and escape to other continents.

In an instant, Ye Ran suddenly thought of a lot.

But the final result is only death without exception, and of course it can also become a puppet of the Tree of Stygian, as the Tree of Darkness says, watching it conquer the whole world with its body.

For this result, Ye Ran would rather choose to die by himself than accept that the creatures of the entire world have suffered a disaster because of this.

"Help you. ”

Bending down, the middle-aged man cleaned the last piece of dirt stuck to the leg of his trousers, and then he raised his body, looked at Ye Ran, and said with a serious face.

"Help me?" Ye Ran was vigilant, the so-called help was probably to get rid of the dark tree in his body as soon as possible, right?

"The demonic energy in your body is like a powerful and terrifying force, if you take it as an enemy, it will disturb your mind and hinder your progress, if you take it as a friend, you can use its power to strengthen yourself. ”

The middle-aged man said slowly.

"With its power, be friends with it?" After Ye Ran heard this, he suddenly felt that the other party was a madman who opened his mouth to talk big, the Stygian Tree was so terrifying, he tried his best to resist the other party, otherwise he would be invaded, and the other party actually proposed to make himself a friend of the Stygian Tree, with the help of the power of the Stygian Tree, isn't this nonsense?

"Sometimes anger is a form of power, and it depends on how you use that power. The middle-aged man continued, "Negative people are angry, they will be pessimistic and self-pitying, and stupid people will even worse, and they will practice themselves. ”

And positive people will use this power to complete the transformation. ”

"In the past, the Holy Monarch was dissatisfied with the perfunctory attitude of the major forces against the demon race, and in a fit of anger, he killed the elders of the major forces, created the Heavenly Saint Martial Kingdom, and led the nine major generals to annihilate the demon race in one fell swoop, in exchange for the prosperity of the human race. ”

"Sima Zhongtian, the dean of Lingyin Academy, failed to compete for Dean Yuehua in the past, and in a fit of anger, he betrayed Yuehua Academy and founded Lingyin Academy, with the help of the fire of anger in his heart, he pushed Lingyin Academy to the top, ranking first among the seven colleges. ”

"Throughout history, many talented people have encountered accidents, and the final result is indeed bleak and disappeared after the long river of history, and few can be remembered, they are not as good as the Holy Monarch, not as good as Sima Zhongtian?"

"Not necessarily, they just didn't control that force, or anger, or sadness, or loneliness, and these forces devoured it, and eventually led to their tragic end, giving up on themselves, ruining their families, and not caring about the world......"

"The sword can hurt others as well as oneself. ”

"The power within you is a sharp sword. ”

After hearing this, Ye Ran thought about it carefully, what the middle-aged man said seemed to have a trace of truth, the power of the Stygian Tree was the same as the Thunder Bloodline, before he was able to control the Thunder Bloodline, wasn't the Thunder Bloodline always in a state of rebellion?

And now that he is in control of the Thunder Bloodline, the power of the Thunder Bloodline has brought him so great benefits, the improvement of strength, the tempering of the body, the condensation of bows and arrows, he can have such achievements at present, it is no exaggeration to say that except for the initial help that the Dark Tree brought to himself, it was all brought by the Thunder Bloodline.

The Thunder Bloodline is a sword that is controlled by oneself.

But can the tree be used for its own purposes?

Even if you can't use it for yourself, even if it's effective control, rather than restraining the Stygian Tree, that's excellent.

"Why are you helping me?"
