On the other hand, Ling Guan's ferocious smile vanished abruptly upon seeing this scene, and he exclaimed in disbelief:
"How could you possibly control this Sacred Ancient Tree in such a short time? This doesn't make sense. Those poisons are specially made. Even if you could expel them so quickly, it's impossible to control this Sacred Ancient Tree in such a short time!"
Back then, he had been lurking within the Sacred Ancient Tree for several years, and he had only managed to suppress it with his power. Now, however, he saw someone who had taken control of it in just a few hours. How could he not be furious at such a difference?
“You are wrong. Love and kindness to people and all things will naturally bring rewards. But someone like you, who is disloyal, unjust, and unkind, will only be despised. In the afterlife, your descendants will also despise you for betraying your clan.”
Ye Ru looked through the gaps in the branches at Ling Guan, who had an incredulous expression, and said calmly.
At this moment, the seven-colored protective shield had been completely broken, and with a final boom, it turned into countless fragments and disappeared into the void.
However, although the black flames broke through the seven-colored protective shield, they were blocked outside by the branches of the ancient sacred tree.
Burn them!
Ling Guan shouted hysterically. Although Ye Ru's strength was only at the level of a novice, the calmness that the other party showed made him somewhat afraid.
"Rotten wood cannot be carved, so destroy it!"
Seeing that Ling Guan was still determined to do evil, Ye Ru shook his head in disappointment and then lightly tapped his finger.
With a flick of the finger, the branch stretched out, eventually enveloping the overwhelming black flames. With a final boom, the initially rampant black flames vanished like mice before a cat, disappearing completely into the world.
"It's your turn next."
After dealing with the black flames, Ye Ru turned his gaze to Ling Guan, whose face looked terrible. Then, the branches shot out and completely enveloped Ling Guan, tightly binding him together.
"Don't kill me. I have many secrets of the demon race. If you kill me, you won't be able to get them."
Encased in these branches, Ling Guan's face showed a look of terror, and he quickly begged for mercy.
He knew the power of the Sacred Tree, so he did not hesitate at all.
"No need. We humans dare not accept a traitor who has served three masters."
Ye Ru shook his head, unmoved by the other party's encouragement. If the other party escaped, it would be much harder to catch them again. Moreover, if the demon race were to learn of his talent, the consequences would be unimaginable. He did not want to take the risk.
"You! I have already turned back from the wrong path, yet you have harmed your comrades, and you still have the nerve to call me unrighteous and heartless? In that case, let's all die together!"
Seeing that Ye Ru had no intention of letting him go, Ling Guan's face immediately turned extremely ferocious, and his body rapidly swelled up, as if he were preparing to self-destruct.
"Ye Ru, don't let him self-destruct!"
Upon seeing this, Wen Hetu's expression changed. However, before he could fully explode, Ye Ru clenched his fist, and the tree branch wrapped around him closer and closer. Finally, with a loud bang, accompanied by a shrill scream like a vengeful ghost, Ling Guan was crushed into dust.
Seeing Ling Guan being crushed into dust, Wen Hetu and the Seven-Colored Deer both felt a chill.
Ye Ru's decisiveness in killing shocked them, because it was not something a nineteen-year-old youth would display.
"Gentlemen, this human traitor has been executed. May I leave now? And what's the deal with this Sacred Ancient Tree? Why do I have this inexplicable connection with it?"
After killing Ling Guan, Ye Ru turned around and bowed to Wen Hetu and the other man, then slowly said.
"what?"
Recovering from the shock, Wen Hetu paused for a moment, then said:
"Yes, that's no problem. The reason you are connected with this Sacred Ancient Tree is because you helped it expel the toxins, and it seems to have already stuck with you. Congratulations."
Although the former spoke casually, the astonishment in his eyes revealed that he was still somewhat surprised by Ye Ru's methods.
"Yes, the Sacred Tree will be yours from now on, but you must use this power wisely and never do anything to harm humanity."
The seven-colored deer said solemnly.
Upon hearing this, Ye Ru nodded, and then solemnly addressed the two of them:
"Rest assured, gentlemen, I will dedicate myself to the cause of humanity until my dying breath, and study diligently for the rise of humanity."
"So good."
Wen Hetu nodded and said, then with a flick of his sleeve, several figures of light appeared instantly:
"These are your companions. Are you sure you want to keep all these demons? Be careful, they could cause a great disaster. These are the elite of the demons. If you release them, it will be detrimental to the human race."
"I know, but if we take action now, it will undoubtedly allow the demon race and the monster race to attack the human race ahead of time. Given the current state of the human race, once the demons and monsters join forces and besiege the city, it will be difficult to resist."
Ye Ru pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said.
“What you say is very true. We don’t know much about the current situation of the human race, and we owe you a favor, so we will do as you say.”
The seven-colored deer nodded and said.
If you look closely, it makes sense. Having been confined to this sacred path for so long, they know nothing about the outside world, and the other party's thoughts and ideas are worthy of their trust.
"Now we'll send you out. Remember, the Sacred Tree embodies the blood and sweat of our ancestors; never let the human race obtain it."
Wen Hetu nodded, then pointed his palm, and a void rift appeared. Ye Ru took a step forward and disappeared from the spot.
"After this, the Holy Road will be closed, and we will also disappear from this world. It's really a bit hard to say goodbye."
The seven-colored deer gazed at the sky and suddenly noticed how blue it was, though its eyes held a hint of sadness.
"Death is inevitable for everyone; it may be as weighty as Mount Tai or as light as a feather. We have protected this sacred ancient tree for so many years, it is time for us to rest."
Wen Hetu smiled slightly, appearing extremely carefree.
"Yes, I'll be able to see Mr. Lu You in the afterlife soon, and I can't wait..."
The seven-colored deer nodded, and then the person and the deer looked at each other, both seeing a deep smile in each other's eyes.
"Let future generations work hard for it. This young man is a promising talent. He is benevolent, righteous, brave, resourceful, and wise. Perhaps he can follow in the footsteps of Confucius."
Wen Hetu watched the spatial rift gradually disappear and commented.
"I hope..."
With a soft sigh, their figures gradually became transparent, and finally disappeared into the world along with the spatial rift...
