"Truly clever!" the fox-tailed fox exclaimed in admiration.
Linghu Lan pursed her lips slightly, unconcerned. She looked around and saw that the place was resplendent with gold and jade. Various intricate patterns formed an extremely mesmerizing landscape on the dome. The hall was inlaid with jade and gemstones everywhere, making it look magnificent and exotic.
"We invited Alliance Leader Qin here today because we have a favor to ask." Tail Fox paused, then continued, "Alliance Leader Qin, are you aware of the differences between our Outer Domain Demonic Sect and the Central Plains Demonic Sect?"
Linghu Lan smiled. "Speak your mind."
"Alright, the difference between my Outer Domain Demonic Sect and the Central Plains Demonic Sect is that the Central Plains Demonic Sect has a sect leader, while my Outer Domain Demonic Sect has both a sect leader and a holy maiden. Originally, the founder of the sect set up two positions, the sect leader and the holy maiden, because he and the holy maiden were husband and wife, had a very good relationship, and were willing to sit on equal footing. But now, generation after generation, the sect leader and the holy maiden have been shirking their responsibilities and their duties are unclear. Now, in my generation, the sect is in complete chaos, and I am extremely worried. Therefore, I would like to ask Alliance Leader Qin to lend me a hand."
Linghu Lan paused for a moment. Wherever there are people, there is a world of martial arts and conflict, and even the demonic sects of the outer realms are no exception.
She thought for a moment, then said calmly, "You want me to kill the cult leader so you can take his place?"
"good!"
"Can't you beat him?"
“I’m afraid that if I kill him, it will be discovered later and cause unnecessary trouble. I’ve heard about the lightning control technique you used in the Central Plains. If I can spread the news that the leader is a person punished by heaven and is not worthy of being the leader, I will have a way to make him die quietly.”
“What benefit would I gain from doing this? I’ve seen plenty of cases like the rabbit being killed after it’s done its work, or the donkey being discarded after it’s no longer needed, in the Central Plains.”
"Hmph! Do you think people from other regions are the same as people from the Central Plains?"
Linghu Lan said coldly, "There's not much difference, just a big difference in quality. The Central Plains people play a more sophisticated game, while you guys are playing what the Central Plains people have left behind. You're all birds of a feather, there's not much difference between you."
The fox-tailed fox gritted her teeth and paced back and forth in the main hall. After a long while, she stopped, gritted her teeth, and said, "If you can kill my sect leader and allow me to smoothly take over the position of sect leader, I will appoint you as the Holy Maiden and make you my successor."
Linghu Lan looked at Wei Hu with a hint of surprise in her eyes. "You're certainly willing to spend a lot, but your Holy Maiden is worthless to me. I'm leaving!"
The fox sighed, "You killed my sect's holy maiden, so you must compensate us with a holy maiden. If you don't agree, I'll have no choice but to feed you to the wolves."
Linghu Lan: "..."
a long time.
She then realized what was happening and said, "Words are meaningless; what makes you think you can guarantee anything?"
“I swear in the name of the saints of all ages.”
"Change to something else. The name of a saintess is worthless to me."
"I swear on my parents and relatives that if I break my word, I will be struck by lightning."
"Okay! Deal!" After saying that, Linghu Lan smiled and added, "You're not an orphan, are you?"
Tail Fox: "..."
From then on, Linghu Lan settled down in the Outer Domain Demonic Sect and gradually got used to her current life.
Not long after.
At the Demonic Cult's conferment ceremony.
Suddenly, a barrage of lightning struck down from the sky, turning the leader of the outer demonic sect into a blackened charcoal. Although he was later rescued, he became like a living dead, unable to move.
The current Holy Maiden is missing. The previous Holy Maiden, Wei Hu, stepped in in time to turn the tide, personally handling the affairs of the church and gradually gaining power. She announced that from now on, the position of church leader will be held by the Holy Maiden, and the next Holy Maiden will be appointed by the church leader.
After becoming familiar with the affairs of the church, the fox-tailed fox finally chose a woman of unknown origin to become the next saintess.
This news caused an uproar. Various questions arose, but the Fox Lord later quelled the unrest with his iron-fisted methods.
From then on, the demonic cults of the outer realms flourished.
