“Ancient God Buddha Son, what else do you have to say?”
Huangpu Guanchen, who was changing into a new pair of shoes, glared at Ye Fan and shouted angrily!
His previous shoes had been chewed to shreds by the Hidden Spirit Ants when they stumbled into the swarm earlier...
On top of that, his feet had been bitten several times!
What angered him the most was that those shoes were a gift from his first love!
And now they were gone just like that!
“Ancient God Buddha Son, our recovery pills really are running low!”
Xuan Sha shouted along with him!
He didn't have a storage bag, so he could only borrow a pair of shoes from someone else!
What kind of absolute mess was this?
He had never been this humiliated in his entire life.
As the prestigious successor of the Ancient Fiend Clan, he had actually been reduced to borrowing shoes!
“Sigh... leading us into traps time and time again. If you're not embarrassed, I'm blushing for you!”
Biaofeng Bao voiced his own thoughts!
His tail had also been chewed into a pitiful state.
Gu Chen and the others didn't say anything, but they also stared grimly at Ye Fan.
“Amitabha, you all are going too far. How can you blame our Buddha Son for this?”
“It is clearly that Lu Ming who is insidious, cunning, despicable, shameless, and completely lacking in martial virtue, trapping us like this!”
Seeing everyone bullying his Buddha Son, Huikong couldn't help but speak up in his defense!
“Exactly! We were all chasing Lu Ming together. You all share the responsibility too!”
Another Buddhist cultivator named Huiyan chimed in!
These people were clearly just taking advantage of their Buddha Son's young age to bully him!
“But your Buddha Son is the leader!”
Gu Chen said flatly!
Huangpu Guanchen and Xuan Sha nodded in agreement.
At this moment, Ye Fan's face was terrifyingly dark!
“Damned mortal!”
He never expected that Lu Ming would lead them into a nest of Hidden Spirit Ants once again.
Thousands upon thousands of Hidden Spirit Ants had caused him to completely lose face once more!
In fact, he had been extremely vigilant along the way.
Yet, those Hidden Spirit Ants had actually concealed their own spiritual energy!
Leading him to mistake them for ordinary ants!
Looking at the hostile group staring at him, Ye Fan closed his eyes, pressed his palms together, and chanted:
“Amitabha!”
As the Buddhist invocation left his lips, his entire aura shifted, and a layer of golden Buddhist light enveloped his body!
It gave off an incomparably peaceful feeling!
Everyone felt their agitated minds calm down slightly!
Ye Fan swept his gaze over the crowd once more and spoke:
“Amitabha. What you benefactors say is entirely correct. This poor monk indeed lacks the ability to serve as the leader!”
At this point, he looked at everyone and continued,
“Therefore, I have decided to step down!”
“Buddha Son?”
The moment his words fell, Huikong's voice rang out!
“Say no more, I have already made up my mind!”
Ye Fan waved his hand!
Huangpu Guanchen and the others were also shocked!
They hadn't expected him to agree so readily!
They thought it would take a whole argument to convince him!
Just then, Ye Fan's voice rang out again:
“You should choose a new leader! But you had better hurry. Don't let that damn... Saint of the Qingshan Sect get too far away!”
Hearing this, everyone hesitated. Whom should they choose?
In truth, they all knew what had actually happened.
They couldn't really blame the Buddha Son of the Ancient Buddha Sect!
It was all the malicious traps set by the Saint of the Qingshan Sect.
The Saint of the Qingshan Sect was definitely not someone easy to deal with!
If they took over as leader and ran into trouble again, what would they do?
Thus, none of them wanted to be the leader!
Huangpu Guanchen and Gu Chen exchanged a glance.
Both of them saw right through each other's thoughts!
Immediately, Huangpu Guanchen pointed a finger at Biaofeng Bao:
“I believe Fellow Daoist Biaofeng Bao is highly suitable to be the leader. He has outstanding capability, strong leadership, a broad vision... and excels at team combat. I suggest we elect Biaofeng Bao as our leader!”
“Indeed. Fellow Daoist Biaofeng Bao is clearly a natural-born leader. He remains calm and collected in the face of danger... I agree as well!”
Gu Chen quickly chimed in!
“...”
Ye Fan's eyes flickered as he looked at the utterly dazed Biaofeng Bao. You guys sure know how to find a scapegoat!
Biaofeng Bao, who had originally been scratching his ears and fretting over how he could somehow become the leader, was completely stunned by Gu Chen and Huangpu Guanchen's words!
What was going on?
Could it be that his exceptionally gifted leadership qualities had finally been recognized by these people?
So they did have some self-awareness after all?
“Biaofeng Bao, you can't take this leadership role!”
“Yeah! If anything goes wrong, you'll be the one to take the blame!”
“What do you lot know? This is a testament to everyone's faith in my abilities!”
Biaofeng Bao turned around and barked a harsh scolding at the other demons!
The tiger demons' eyes widened in disbelief!
We shouldn't have even bothered worrying about you! It'll serve you right if you get trapped to death!
Once you're dead, I'll become the successor of the Ancient Demon Clan!
Just then, Biaofeng Bao carefully adjusted his clothes, took several slow, measured strides, and stood right in the center of the crowd.
With a gaze he believed to be profoundly wise, he swept his eyes over everyone and declared loudly,
“Thank you all for your trust in electing me as the leader.”
“Especially Fellow Daoists Gu Chen and Huangpu Guanchen, your words were spot on. I truly am just that exceptional! Although Fellow Daoist Xuan Sha is a man of few words and didn't speak up,”
“I have clearly seen your silent admiration!”
Everyone: "..."
Good grief, he actually bought it!
Seeing the stunned expressions of the crowd, Biaofeng Bao nodded in deep satisfaction.
Everyone must have been thoroughly captivated by my personal charm!
He then pressed his hands down in a placating gesture, continuing to smile with absolute self-confidence,
“I am well aware of my outstanding capabilities. From this moment on, everyone shall follow my commands. We will prioritize my safety... oh, wait, no... we will prioritize killing the Saint of the Qingshan Sect!”
“We must work with one heart, sleep in the same bed with different dreams, unite in absolute sincerity, and pump ourselves dry until we drop dead...”
Biaofeng Bao had blurted out every single morale-boosting phrase he knew in one go!
Everyone stared at Biaofeng Bao with their mouths wide open. My god...
You sure have a way with words!
Was your vocabulary taught by the madam of the Wanhua Brothel next door?
Otherwise, how on earth could you spout such seductive and bizarre phrasing?
Meanwhile, the tiger demons and the other beast companions hung their heads!
They covered their faces, utterly too embarrassed to look at anyone!
Sigh... the entire reputation of the Ancient Demon Clan has been completely dragged through the mud by this guy!
Looking at Biaofeng Bao, who was practically glowing with self-confidence,
Gu Chen and the others couldn't help but worry. Is this idiot going to get us all killed?
Ye Fan also frowned, watching this speechless scene unfold!
Dammit!
Once I ascend to the Immortal Realm, I am definitely going to destroy this entire Xuantian Continent!
At this moment, Biaofeng Bao looked at everyone and continued,
“I have finished speaking. Shouldn't you all be applauding now?”
Everyone: "..."
Forget applauding, we feel like slapping you to death!
“Ahem... we should hurry up and pursue the Saint of the Qingshan Sect!”
“If we wait any longer, he'll have run too far for us to catch up!”
Ye Fan simply couldn't take it anymore and spoke up!
“Right, right...”
Everyone nodded in rapid succession, chiming in,
“Yes, yes...”
“Killing the Saint of the Qingshan Sect is what matters most!”
With that, without waiting for Biaofeng Bao to speak again, everyone scrambled to resume the chase!
They were deeply afraid that Biaofeng Bao would force them to stay and applaud!
Looking at everyone's enthusiastic response, Biaofeng Bao nodded in satisfaction!
As expected, I am highly suited to be the leader!
Look how motivated they've all become!
Immediately, with a flash of his figure, he rushed after them!
