Chapter 145 Boss, Secret
Half a day later, in an ordinary cave abode, Luo Mu was sitting on a stone bench with a depressed face, gently rubbing his forehead with his hands.
Opposite, there were twenty young people at the head. However, the expressions on their faces looked very strange at this time. They looked at Luo Mu on the stone bench with various eyes.
In half a day, Luo Mu also had a preliminary understanding of the twenty people in front of him. Except for the burly man and Han Xu at the beginning, there was only the cold and beautiful woman Luo Mu who paid a little attention.
Others only learned about it later.
The leading young man is named Li Xiu. As his name suggests, he is very delicate and handsome. Although he is not as handsome as Han Xu, he is still very attractive.
Li Xiu is the only one among the twenty who has reached the level of Foundation Establishment Early Stage. His strength is also the strongest among the twenty. In addition, Li Xiu is smart and cautious. It only took a short time to unite these disciples who were eliminated by the Wanfa Sect, and he easily became the leader among the twenty.
Ever since Li Xiu came here, everything has been dominated by Li Xiu, and few people would have objections. But today, this norm has been broken.
"Brother Xiu, we listened to you before because everyone admired you. The new guy in front of you only has the peak cultivation level of Qi Refining Stage, so he has no ability to be our boss. Regardless of other people's opinions on this matter, I am the first one who doesn't want to."
Just when the atmosphere at the scene seemed a little depressing, the burly man Tower Mountain pushed aside the people on both sides with his hands, stood up, and spoke loudly and resolutely with a serious tone.
"Yes! Brother Tower Mountain is right, and I don't agree with it either."
"How can a new boy sit in the position of boss? Brother Xiu, what's wrong with you? Besides, this boy is a Poison Cultivator. It's impossible for me to follow a Poison Cultivator."
"..."
After Tower Mountain stood up and said these words, several people followed and expressed their attitude.
In response, Li Xiu frowned, with a faint look of displeasure on his face.
"It's true that he's new here, and it's true that he's Poison Cultivator. But, who of you dares to say that you can go through several rounds in his hands in a single fight? Tower Mountain, can you?" Li Xiu said it softly, but there was an irresistible flavor in his tone. Especially when he asked Tower Mountain, Tower Mountain was stunned on the spot.
Luo Mu was so powerful, Tower Mountain was the first to learn the lesson. He defeated Flying Artifact in just two rounds, and Tower Mountain still remembers it now You Xin, as for what he said when he returned to the ground, they were just to fill the scene. Even Tower Mountain himself didn't believe that after returning to the ground, he could survive a few rounds in the hands of Luo Mu.
"Why don't you speak?" Seeing that Tower Mountain remained silent for a long time, Li Xiu asked expressionlessly, and then turned his attention to the others. "Do you think you will be his opponent?"
Everyone fell into silence for a while, speechless.
"I was biased and even despised Poison Cultivator before. But one of his words reminded me that the world of cultivation is always about the weak and the strong. As long as you can defeat your opponent, it doesn't matter what technique he practices or what path he takes. If you don't accept it, you can use your own ability to trample him under your feet. Only then will you be qualified to laugh at other people's choices."
After Li Xiu glanced at Luo Mu, his face was neither sad nor happy, and he spoke in a calm tone.
"It is true that he is strong, but we cannot just hand over the position of boss to a newcomer arbitrarily. Isn't this a bit too hasty?" Han Xu, who had not said a word for a long time, said vaguely with a piece of grass in his mouth.
"Have you forgotten our original agreement that whoever is stronger will be the boss? Do you still need me to remind you? Now Luo Mu is one of us. It is obvious to all that he is stronger than you all. Even I am ashamed of myself. I think Luo Mu deserves the position of boss."
Li Xiu didn't even have the slightest idea of giving in, and still insisted on his position. Han Xu rolled his eyes, then didn't say anything more, and kept nibbling on the grass roots in his mouth.
"Hmph! If he hadn't secretly poisoned us at that time, and we had no sense of precaution, how could he have succeeded so easily. If we had all taken the antidote pills in advance, it's not certain who will win in the end." The cold and charming woman named Qiu Xuelin looked at Luo Mu on the stone bench with a cold face, and said in a very cold tone.
Just half a day ago, after Luo Mu released Poison Spirit Power, the girl Qiu Xuelin fell into Luo Mu's trick without even realizing it. She was already lying on the ground without even using her abilities at all.
Thinking of this matter, this woman felt an inexplicable anger in her heart. How could she have been defeated so inexplicably even though she was very capable? In addition, this woman was already arrogant by nature, so she was put down so easily by Luo Mu, and she didn't know where to put her face.
"Even if you don't use Poison Spirit Power, those thirteen Plum Blossom Giant Python are not something you can deal with." Li Xiu shook his head and said to Qiu Xuelin unceremoniously.
These words obviously made Qiu Xuelin very dissatisfied, and he wanted to refute it in his heart, but recalling the horror of those thirteen Plum Blossom Giant Python, Qiu Xuelin suppressed the words that just came to his mouth, and just snorted again.
Plum Blossom Giant Python itself is a third-level elementary monster, plus it is a mutated monster, which is much more powerful than a normal monster. Although one Plum Blossom Giant Python is not an opponent of Qi Refining Stage, a peak monk like Qiu Xuelin, but if two of them are matched up, the result is hard to say, let alone thirteen of them.
If all thirteen Plum Blossom Giant Python are really entangled with Qiu Xuelin, then even a fool can guess the consequences without even thinking about it.
"No matter what, I totally disagree with Brother Xiu." At the end of the sentence, Tower Mountain still had no intention of giving in and still insisted on his position.
"Do you have to have another fight with him before you understand what the gap is? And then you can shut your mouth honestly?" Li Xiu felt a little warm and angry, and there was a hint of displeasure in his tone of voice.
Seeing that Li Xiu was obviously a little angry, Tower Mountain wanted to say something else, but he held it back and looked at Luo Mu with an angry look.
Luo Mu turned a blind eye to this. However, Luo Mu, who had never spoken, opened his mouth at this moment.
"I'm not interested in the position of the boss at all. Whoever wants to do it can do it. Li Xiu, you will give me the array that controls the Poison Miasma Forest array. I want to enter first. Poison Miasma Forest." Luo Mu spread out his palms and asked Li Xiu if he wanted to pick up the magic array, as if he really didn't care about who was the boss.
Hearing this, Li Xiu was stunned at first. He didn't expect Luo Mu to reject it so simply. After thinking about it for a while, Li Xiu nodded. A white light flashed in his hand, and a round array disk appeared in his hand, and he handed it to Luo Mu.
And Li Xiu actually kept silent at this time and no longer mentioned who was the boss.
Although Li Xiu has been insisting that Luo Mu take the position of boss, in fact, deep down, Li Xiu is still a little reluctant. Not to mention Tower Mountain who thinks it is outrageous, even Li Xiu himself feels that doing so is a bit of a joke.
However, it was Li Xiu himself who made this rule in the first place. Whoever is stronger is the boss among them. Now Luo Mu is clearly much stronger than any of the twenty of them. If Li Xiu doesn't mention this at this time, what will other people think of him?
After he brought this matter up, he repeatedly insisted on giving up the boss's position to Luo Mu, just not wanting to have a reputation of not keeping his word.
As for whether Luo Mu is willing to sit, or whether others agree or not, it has nothing to do with him, because he has already done everything he should do.
Luo Mu's refusal at this time played into Li Xiu's hands and gave him a step down.
If Luo Mu really agrees to take the boss position, Li Xiu really doesn't know what to do. If he is asked to obey a Qi Refining Stage boy, Li Xiu will really feel awkward, let alone other people, who will definitely confront Luo Mu.
And there is also a reason why they care so much about the position of the boss and form cliques behind the Wanfa Sect's back!
However, this is what Luo Mu doesn't know yet. Now Luo Mu took the array plate handed over by Li Xiu and walked towards cave abode without any nostalgia.
"Brother Xiu, what happened to you today? How can you give the position of boss to a new guy?" Seeing that Luo Mu disappeared outside cave abode and could no longer sense his breath, Tower Mountain asked Li Xiu again.
"Do you want me to break the promise myself and become a person who breaks my promise?" After Luo Mu left, Li Xiu also breathed a sigh of relief. Regarding Tower Mountain's words, Li Xiu rolled his eyes and said angrily.
"We made that agreement ourselves. If you don't tell us and we don't tell you, how will he know?"
"Are you sure the other party won't know about it in the future?"
"This..."
Tower Mountain was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer Li Xiu.
"The position of boss is related to the Spirit Stone income of the twenty of us. It is our only source of cultivation here. Although the spiritual energy here is thin, with the existence of these Spirit Stones, the speed of our cultivation progress will not be much worse than that of the sect. Therefore, the position of boss cannot be given randomly."
Han Xu spit out the grass roots in his mouth and spoke solemnly with a rare serious face.
