Inside the room, Ruan Qianqian paced back and forth.
With Qin Yang pressuring her from the outside, and many strong cultivators within Cold Moon Palace opposing her, Ruan Qianqian felt that her position as the Holy Maiden was in jeopardy.
"Holy Maiden, the Old Man has something to discuss with you."
At this moment, the voice of a Ninth Stage cultivator rang out in Ruan Qianqian's mind.
This Ninth Stage Martial Artist was called Yan Yuan Jia, and he was the Eighth Elder of the Cold Moon Palace. He still had some authority and status, but now, Yan Yuan Jia had secretly pledged his loyalty to Qin Yang.
"What does Elder Yan want to talk about?"
"Holy Maiden, the Old Man and some other strong cultivators have long been dissatisfied with some of the Palace Lord's decisions. I heard that you have already reached the Eighth Stage, and according to the rules of Cold Moon Palace, you already have the qualifications to inherit the position of Palace Lord. We want to support you to become the new Palace Lord!"
Ruan Qianqian's expression changed greatly.
"Elder Yan, don't talk nonsense. I have no intention of coveting the position of Palace Lord. Master's kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain. Elder Yan, please shut up, or I will tell Master!"
Ruan Qianqian hurriedly transmitted her voice. She did have some thoughts about the position of Palace Lord, and Elder Yan's words made her feel as if her clothes were being stripped off and her body was being seen clearly.
"Holy Maiden, there are so many people in Cold Moon Palace. What kind of thoughts do you have? Actually, many people are suspicious. Your ambition is much greater than what you show, isn't it?"
Yan Yuanjia transmitted his voice.
In fact, Yan Yuanjia did not know about Ruan Qianqian's ambition. These words were naturally said by Qin Yang.
Ruan Qianqian's face turned pale. Could it be that she did not hide it well enough?
"Holy Maiden, there are currently only two paths before you. One, is for you to step down from the position of Holy Maiden and leave Cold Moon Palace. The other, is for you to become the new Palace Master of Cold Moon Palace. That way, if Qin Yang were to deal with you again, he would be making an enemy out of the entire Cold Moon Palace."
"Elder Yan, don't say anymore. I have no such thoughts. I will never betray Master!"
Ruan Qianqian transmitted her voice. She was panicking. Yan Yuanjia could not have been sent by Zuo Fanmei to test her, right?
If that was the case, it meant that Zuo Fanmei was also suspicious of her.
"Holy Maiden, don't even think about continuing to be the Holy Maiden. At present, Qin Yang probably has not revealed all of his trump cards yet. Or maybe he won't reveal many of his trump cards in the open, but he might have secretly let the Palace Mistress know. If the Palace Mistress knew, would she still disregard the entire Cold Moon Palace and support you to continue being the Holy Maiden?"
"Holy Maiden, our forces in the Cold Moon Palace aren't weak. Moreover, we have external help. The Evil Fiend Hall's Grand Elder and other experts will help us!"
In this regard, our interests are completely aligned with those of the Evil Fiend Temple!
"Holy Maiden, the Great Elder of the Evil Divine Hall and the others are already here. I'll get the Evil Divine Hall Golden Snake Sovereign to contact you. This way, you'll know that I'm not joking with you!"
As soon as Yan Yuanjia finished speaking, Golden Snake Supremacy's voice echoed in Ruan Qianqian's mind.
"Cold Moon Saintess, I am the Golden Snake Emperor."
"If you cooperate with us, there is a very high chance that you will become the new Palace Master of Cold Moon Palace. Our Evil Fiend Hall's request is that when the time comes, we will work together to deal with Qin Yang. As for Elder Yan and the others, they should also have some requests for benefits. You will have to discuss this with them yourself."
"Many experts from the Evil Fiend Hall have come. Let them greet you, Cold Moon Saintess, to prove that we are not joking!"
Soon, the other ten or so rank-nine experts of the Evil Fiend Temple also transmitted messages to Ruan Qianqian.
Ruan Qianqian's expression returned to normal as she pondered.
There was no problem with the identities of the Golden Snake Emperor and the others. Unfamiliar experts of the Eighth Stage Realm could not directly transmit messages to her. The Golden Snake Emperor and the others must have the strength of the Ninth Stage Realm.
And Ruan Qianqian understood some of them.
"Saintess, what do you think?"
"If you don't agree, just pretend that I didn't mention it. Don't tell the Palace Master about this. Otherwise, it won't be good for you!"
Yan Yuanjia transmitted the message.
Ruan Qianqian took a deep breath and transmitted the message, "Elder Yan, what requests do you have?"
"Saintess, actually, our request is very simple. If our status is higher in the future, we will get more benefits. That's it! This doesn't conflict with you, Saintess. If you want your position as the Palace Master to be stable, you also need to raise our status in the palace! "
"Saintess, we can talk about this later. If you can't become the Palace Master, it will be useless to talk about it!"
Ruan Qianqian said in a deep voice, "Elder Yan, what kind of plan do you have? It won't be that easy to make me the new Palace Master of Cold Moon Palace."
"Saintess, the Palace Master is in her prime. If you want to become the new Palace Master, something will happen to her."
"Of course, killing the Palace Master is out of the question. Our plan is to cause serious problems to the Palace Master's cultivation. Her cultivation will be greatly reduced. When that happens, the Palace Master will naturally not have the ability to continue to be the Palace Master. She has always been very good to you and will also support you in becoming the new Palace Master!"
"The Supreme Emperor Golden Snake provided a powerful poison. It won't kill, but it will cause problems to one's cultivation. Moreover, it will weaken one's body."
"The Palace Master has a certain degree of wariness towards other people, but when it comes to you, Saintess, it can be said that she has no wariness at all. Saintess, you can easily make the Palace Master consume that poison. That poison can be dissolved in water and is colorless and tasteless. Even if the Palace Master is strong, if she doesn't examine it carefully, she won't discover the problem."
Ruan Qianqian's heart was beating twice as fast as usual. She was ambitious, but she hadn't thought of snatching her Master's position as the Palace Master so quickly.
"Saintess, the situation now is special. If you don't take action, you will probably have to leave Cold Moon Palace. When that time comes, Qin Yang will kill you. Cold Moon Palace won't have any reason to deal with him."
"You decide on your own, but you have to be quick!"
"The Palace Master will summon everyone again soon. Once the decision is announced, it will be too late even if you want to take action!"
After Yan Yuanjia finished speaking, Ruan Qianqian's eyes shone brightly. The ambition in her heart grew wildly.
She already had an eighth grade cultivation, and indeed had the qualifications to become the Palace Master of Cold Moon Palace. If she became the Palace Master, she would have much more cultivation resources than she had now. When that time came, her speed of improvement would be even faster.
"With the support of the Shi Clan, I should be able to stabilize my position as the Palace Master."
"Elder Yan and the others want to make me a puppet. That's wishful thinking!"
Ruan Qianqian thought to herself.
Time passed second by second. Gradually, Ruan Qianqian made a decision in her heart. Take action!
If she succeeded, her power and status would be higher. In the future, her cultivation would be faster, and it would be easier for her to deal with Qin Yang.
Failure, in Ruan Qianqian's opinion, was no different from being chased out of Cold Moon Palace. And even if she failed, her Master might just chase her out of Cold Moon Palace.
"Elder Yan, I agree!"
"I hope that Elder Yan and the others will help me to become the Palace Master. When the time comes, I will not forget the benefits Elder Yan and the others will give me!"
Ruan Qianqian transmitted her voice to Yan Yuanjia. Yan Yuanjia sneered in his heart. Qin Yang was right. Ruan Qianqian was not as simple as she looked on the surface. She was very ambitious.
If not for that, Ruan Qianqian would not have agreed to such a thing now because Zuo Fanmei treated her so well!
This was not just a plot to usurp the throne, but also to cripple Ruan Qianqian's Master, Zuo Fanmei!
"Saintess, when the time comes, we will be in the same boat. If you help us, we will also help you stabilize your position as the Palace Master!"
"Saintess, I will have someone give you the medicine. You should hurry and find the Palace Master. The medicine will not take effect immediately, but after half an incense stick's time, you should let the Palace Master drink the medicine and leave quickly. We will go find the Palace Master. If there are any accidents, we can stabilize the situation."
"Moreover, we can do our best to remove you from the picture. Although the Palace Master is suspicious, he will not be sure that you are the culprit."
Yan Yuanjia said solemnly.
"Alright!"
Ruan Qianqian clenched her fists.
