Condemning the Heavens Chapter 455

Chapter 455: 455
Xue Wei spent a lot of time in a deep cultivation trance . He was unaware of the thoughts that were pressing their way into Lan's mind; all he could focus on was the Monarch Piranha Flower that had taken root in his heart .
He tried his best to suppress it, but he soon found that it was useless . He could not get the roots to release from his heart, but he could feel that the spirit within was subdued by the wood and fire elemental Qi in his body .
It seemed that as long as he had these, then his body would continue being his own, but as Lan had said, if he used the vines of the Monarch Piranha Flower, and it consumed a lot of essence blood, then he would end up on the losing end .
As such, he could only promise himself that he would not use those vines unless it were a life or death situation . He was not eager to die .
After spending half a day trying everything within his ability to remove the seed, and knowing that he had no chance, he finally stood up . His face was not dejected . Instead, he was looking rather solemn, but at the same time also determined .
So far, Xue Wei had experienced no real issues . He had managed to get through life flawlessly without any hidden dangers, so now that he was faced with a real threat to his life, he could finally see how far he could go .
Of course, he would prefer not having a Monarch Piranha Flower growing in his heart, but now that he had, he had to see everything from the positive side . He could not change what had happened, so he could only use it to temper himself, his mind, and his body .
Xue Wei sighed, stretched, and rose to his feet . "Let us leave this place," he said, and the others agreed .
They all began walking towards the outside of the forest . They were unwilling to spend even a moment more within this forest .
Xue Wei sighed as he looked at the others, and saw that their eyes were full of annoyance when they looked at Lan, and worried when they looked at him .
"Don't worry," Xue Wei said with a smile as he looked at them . "I will not die to this, and I will not let the flower have an opportunity to take over my body .
"Also, I am sure that Lan will not let my life end, so there is nothing to worry about for now . I am sure he just wants to temper me and make me stronger . "
Lan looked perplexed at Xue Wei . He knew that Xue Wei was saying it for the sake of making his companions not blame Lan, but he felt quite weird . He had pitted Xue Wei like this, but Xue Wei was not even annoyed or angry . Why was he so understanding to a person who basically made his life become endangered?
Xue Wei would be lying if he said that he did not have any annoyance with Lan, but he understood the difference in their strengths . Lan was a deity . He was a genius and was able to kill them with a simple thought .
Everything that he did had a purpose, but Xue Wei understood that he had some hidden agenda, and until it was solved, Xue Wei would be unable to end his relationship with Lan .
Since he was stuck with Lan, then he was only able to accept all the horror that he was sending in his way . If he were going to object, their relationship would sour, and Xue Wei would likely become even worse off than he was now .
Not to mention, if their relationship soured, then there was no one who could guarantee that Lan would not act against his companions .
While Xue Wei respected Lan, he also knew that Lan was ruthless and evil . He was able to do anything to get what he wanted and needed, and Xue Wei just happened to be beneficial to him .
But it was not all bad . Xue Wei had grown stronger, much stronger, with the support of Lan . So although Lan was overbearing and evil, he was also his benefactor, and Xue Wei was definitely going to pay him back, as long as he did not ask for him to become crippled or dead .
Lan and Xue Wei had different views on the world . Xue Wei was cold and callous to most people, but those who helped him or treated him with respect would see that he would give them back tenfold .
Those who were rude, and who had harmful intentions against him, they would be returned hundredfold of their behavior .
Lan was someone who, although grateful for someone to be friendly to him, he was not willing to give up a lot for others . Only those whom he deemed his most important people would feel his tenderness and care .
This was the difference between Xue Wei and Lan, and this was also the reason they had problems understanding one another .
While they thought about this, all of them slowly managed to leave the forest, and in front of them were lush green grasses and small signs of villages .
It was clear that many people lived on this side of the forest, and Xue Wei suddenly smiled . This was his chance for attacking and fighting against the army of the Xiyang Continent .
This was why he had arrived here, and while the Monarch Piranha Flower was a setback, it did not diminish his excitement and his battle intent .
As long as he could keep the seed under control, he would be able to go rampant on the battlefield .
