If Ye Xiu was drinking water, a mouthful of water would surely spurt out at this moment! If he was injured internally, what would spurt out would definitely be a mouthful of old blood.
But he neither drank water nor was injured. When he suddenly heard such a sentence, he was stunned.
He just stared blankly at the black-robed man in front of him. He was just here to find the roots of the ten thousand-year-old locust tree and save his sister. How could he become the 72nd leader of the Ghost Witch Cult?
Is this joke too big?
"Promotion from a humble position, see the leader!"
Ye Xiu was still shocked, but the man in black robe had taken off his hat, revealing a face that was almost exactly the same as the shadow, and then knelt down on one knee in front of Ye Xiu.
The shadow had already stepped aside, and a faint smile appeared on that cold face.
Seeing that his sect leader had all knelt down, Xue Qingqing, who had exchanged a move with Ye Xiu and had a stab wound on his chest, knelt down immediately. Although the others were surprised, the two people with the highest status in the sect also knelt down.
After walking down, wherever they dared to stand, they all knelt down on one knee and met the new leader Ye Xiu.
Ye Xiu was completely shocked. Seeing that even Yang Tian was kneeling obediently, he suddenly realized that this was not a joke.
But the problem is, I don’t have a close relationship with your Ghost Witch Cult, and I even killed one of your Dharma Kings. How could you allow yourself to be the leader?
Even if you are a genius, you want to serve as the leader and lead you out of the mountains, but this method of passing on the throne is too casual, isn't it?
Ye Xiu didn't say anything, he just stared blankly at the shadow beside him.
Shadow smiled faintly and said: "This is the only way to use your ten thousand-year-old locust tree roots!"
As he said that, he pointed to the pitch black scepter in Ye Xiu's hand and said: "This is the root of the ten thousand year sophora tree..." Ye Xiu had already begun to curse in his heart. Of course he knew that this was the root of the ten thousand year sophora tree, but this
What does it have to do with being the leader of this ghost-breaking witch sect?
"If you don't let them get up, they won't get up!"
Seeing Ye Xiu's speechless look, Shadow wanted to laugh, but he didn't. Instead, he pointed at the people still kneeling on the ground.
Ye Xiu's head suddenly grew bigger.
I really had the urge to jump up and scold my mother, but in the end I still said to the people kneeling on the ground: "Get up first!"
"Thank you, Master!"
Lu Sheng was the first to answer.
Then he stood up! "Thank you, Master!"
Only then did the others stand up and speak loudly, but everyone's eyes were still full of surprise.
They have no way of understanding the leader's arrangements, but the Ghost Witch Cult has always respected the leader, and they will unconditionally carry out any orders given by the leader. This is even more harsh than the army.
"What's the matter?"
Ye Xiu finally asked his doubts, not only to Lu Sheng but also to the shadow next to him.
"Master, please..." Lu Sheng did not answer directly, but made a gesture of false invitation. The others, including Yang Tian, quickly moved away, revealing a straight path.
Ye Xiu looked at the shadow, and the shadow nodded. Ye Xiu didn't doubt him and strode forward.
...A quarter of an hour later, in a small courtyard with the best decoration in the valley.
Ye Xiu, Shadow, and Lu Sheng sat around a coffee table. On the table, there was the scepter that represented the highest power of the Ghost Witch Cult.
"Tell me, what are you two brothers doing..." Seeing their almost identical faces, Ye Xiu naturally understood that these two were twin brothers.
The shadow didn't speak, just sat there quietly.
Lu Sheng sighed softly and began to tell the story between the two.
The two are indeed twin brothers. They were born in a small mountain village deep in the Nanyun Mountains more than 40 years ago. Unfortunately, when they were three years old, a heavy rain caused a mudslide and flooded the small mountain village, and the two brothers
At that time, he escaped death because he climbed into a tree to play.
As a result, the members of the Ghost Witch Cult who hid in the mountains due to the leader's death discovered that two three-year-old children were able to climb a tree several meters high, and they were able to survive by chance before such a natural disaster.
The member of the Ghost Witch Cult decided on the spot to take the two children back to the Ghost Witch Cult.
After hearing about the experiences of the two children, Lu Yuan, the only remaining innate master of the Ghost Witch Cult at that time, personally accepted the two children who had survived the disaster as his disciples.
And they were named Lu Sheng and Lu Chen! The two children also showed extremely high talents, and their cultivation level improved by leaps and bounds. The progress far exceeded Lu Yuan's expectation. When he saw that the two of them had already grown up when they were twelve years old,
When he developed his inner strength, Lu Yuan was shocked.
With the talents shown by the two of them, there is great hope for them to enter the realm of masters in the future.
This is simply the hope for the revival of ghost witchcraft.
From that time on, Lu Yuan, the old man of the Ghost Witch Cult, pinned his hopes for the revival of the Ghost Witch Cult on these twin brothers.
Times changed, and when the two brothers stepped into the realm of innateness one after another, the old man named Lu could no longer withstand the invasion of time and passed away.
Before he died, the old man's only wish was that the two brothers could lead the Ghost Witch Sect to regain its former glory.
As for who takes over as the leader of the Ghost Witch Cult, he doesn't mind.
But Lu Sheng knew that what the old man wanted most was for Lu Chen to take over, because Lu Chen's talent had always been superior to that of Lu Sheng's since he was a child, and he was also the old man's favorite person.
It's a pity that Lu Chen has a withdrawn personality and has no interest in these things. Not long after the old man's death, he left the Ghost Witch Cult and went out to explore the world.
It was also at that time that I met Ye Xiu's second senior brother Fu Fengxue.
Lu Chen is already a first-class genius, but after several battles with Fu Fengxue, he was completely defeated.
In the end, for some reasons, Fu Fengxue became a thorn in the side of the Dugu family.
He is not even the least bit interested in the leader of the Ghost Witch Cult.
Lu Sheng's greatest hope is that his younger brother can return to the Ghost Witch Cult and take over his position! "But why do you want to give me the position of leader?"
After listening to Lu Sheng's story, Ye Xiu understood what he expected from his younger brother as an older brother, but what he still wondered was, what did this have to do with him?
Just because you need these ten thousand-year-old locust tree roots?
"Because only under your leadership can the Ghost Witch Cult be truly revived..." Lu Sheng and Shadow said at the same time.
"..." Ye Xiu was speechless for a while. He would just leave his words like this to deceive children.
However, looking at the attitudes of the two people, he also understood that if he wanted to take away this ten thousand-year-old locust tree root, he must accept the position of leader. He did not think that he could deal with two super strong men above the fourth innate realm...
