Gentlemen, it's time to enter the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls.

Chapter 285 Solution
Although Chen Ye was asking the two of them, he knew in his heart that it all depended on Pang Duoduo's decision.

Logically speaking, Chen Ye shouldn't have been honest with the two of them. He could have just made up some excuse to give Qu Heng a fabricated background. With Qu Heng's abilities, he wouldn't have been afraid of Pang Duoduo figuring it out.

Once they successfully tricked the two into joining the Yellow Springs Sect, several years passed, and they could no longer leave.

But Chen Ye ultimately chose to confess.

Just as Chen Ye had previously adhered to, deceiving others with lies often has a greater impact when the truth is revealed.

Since he wanted to invite the two women to join the Yellow Springs Sect, Chen Ye naturally hoped that they could serve the sect wholeheartedly.

If we deceive people with lies and make them hold grudges, then the Yellow Springs Sect will eventually split up, just like the Incense Burning Sect.

Treating people with sincerity, accepting what comes as a blessing and what goes as a fate, is Chen Ye's consistent principle, and he would never create any hidden dangers for the Yellow Spring Sect.

Pang Duoduo sighed and said, "I have always underestimated you, Sect Master Chen. I originally thought you were blessed with good fortune and someone I could borrow your strength from, so I asked you to help preserve the Fenxiang Sect at a critical moment. But I underestimated the Huangquan Sect. The fortune we borrowed this time is too great, and I am unable to repay it."

Chen Ye was overjoyed. Did Pang Duoduo mean she was willing to join the Yellow Springs Sect?

However, Pang Duoduo quickly refused, saying, "Sect Leader Chen's kindness is undeserved, but I have grown up in the Incense Burning Sect and must remain loyal to it. Now that Green Coffin Mountain has become a deadly wasteland, I must return to deal with the putrefaction. If this calamity cannot be resolved, it will surely spread to thousands of miles..."

Chen Ye quickly interrupted, saying, "Wait, Senior Pang, have you forgotten that the reason I went to Green Coffin Mountain to find you was precisely to solve the problem of that putrefactive poison?"

Pang Duoduo said, "Of course I know that, but I also understand that this poison is difficult to cure. The Yellow Springs Sect may have enough power to solve this problem, but I would like to ask Sect Master Chen, are you willing to let the Yellow Springs Sect suffer heavy losses for this?"

The power of the Yellow Springs Sect was indeed beyond Pang Duoduo's expectations. Just the City Gods she had just seen, and these hundreds of thousands of Yin Souls, if all of them were used, it might really take a hundred years to cleanse the corruption.

But now is a time of great strife, how could the Yellow Spring Sect possibly expend so much manpower and resources on the matter of the Incense Burning Sect?

How many people's spiritual practice will be delayed during this period? If we are not careful, we will suffer heavy losses.

Even if his disciple had married Chen Ye and even had a child, Chen Ye would never sacrifice the entire Huangquan Sect to clean up the mess left by the Fenxiang Sect.

When Pang Duoduo asked Chen Ye to solve the problem, it was just a momentary impulse; she was just playing a cruel joke on someone on their deathbed.

Chen Ye smiled and said to Pang Duoduo, "Senior, don't worry. Although I won't let the Yellow Spring Sect waste manpower to deal with the corruption, I do have a way to suppress its spread."

Upon hearing this, Mo Suixin asked in surprise, "Really?"

If what Chen Ye said was true, then neither she nor her master would have to die. She had only just reached the Tongxuan Realm; how could she bear to die on Qingguan Mountain like this?

Chen Ye didn't go into details, but took out a box of red soil, a crimson tree branch, and a bottle of clear blue water from his storage bag.

Mo Suixin looked at it and asked in confusion, "This is soil stained with putrid poison, the poisonous water in the belly of the Azure Dragon Lord... And what is this branch?" Chen Ye explained, "It is a tender branch of the Blood Bodhi Tree cultivated by my Yellow Springs Sect. This tree needs the most poisonous things in the world as fertilizer to grow, which can neutralize the toxins."

Mo Suixin was overjoyed. If there was such a divine object, wouldn't it be able to eliminate the putrid poison of Green Coffin Mountain?

But Pang Duoduo shook her head and said, "It's not that simple. If we could easily decompose those putrid toxins, we wouldn't know what to do. The corpse of the Demon Lord Wujiu is too special. The poison produced after it rots is also difficult to decompose. We can only rely on our own spiritual energy to dilute it little by little, like breaking rocks bit by bit to dissolve it. It is time-consuming and laborious, and it also damages the cultivator's foundation."

The Incense Burning Sect has the most secret techniques among all sects in the world. If it could be solved so easily, there would be no need to wait for Chen Ye to take action.

Chen Ye nodded and said, "It's definitely not that simple. When I arrived at Qingguan Mountain, I tested it. If you directly insert the Blood Bodhi branch into this soil, the tender branch will not be able to withstand the corrosion of the poison."

As Chen Ye spoke, he inserted the tender branch in his hand into the red mud. Sure enough, the branch immediately turned black and rotted, emitting a foul stench.

Chen Ye also thought he had failed, since the Blood Bodhi Tree couldn't absorb all poisons.

But unexpectedly, he was swallowed by the Azure Dragon Lord, which gave him a new gain.

Chen Ye poured the collected poisonous liquid onto the red clay. The two highly toxic substances collided, but no thick smoke was produced, nor was there any sizzling sound. They only moistened the red clay slightly, as if they did not interfere with each other.

At this moment, Chen Ye took out a new blood bodhi tree branch and inserted it into the red soil that had been doused with poison.

This time, the blood bodhi tree branch did not rot and turn black. Instead, it began to stretch its branches and leaves, and specks of fluorescence fell from the branches and leaves, making it look incredibly dreamlike.

Chen Ye explained, "After being neutralized by the poisonous water, the putrid poison of the Demon Lord Wujiu seems to have changed its nature. Although it is still highly toxic to most living beings, it can be absorbed by the Blood Bodhi Tree. As long as we irrigate Green Coffin Mountain with enough poisonous water and then plant enough Blood Bodhi Trees, this putrid poison will be neutralized and absorbed, and will not spread poison in all directions."

Pang Duoduo stared at the scene before her, remaining silent for a long time.

Only after confirming that the Blood Bodhi Tree was indeed absorbing the toxins from the soil did she say to Chen Ye, "But this poisonous water is refined using the Azure Dragon Lord's secret technique. How can we obtain it? We don't know how much poisonous water we would need for the eight hundred miles of Azure Coffin Mountain."

Chen Ye laughed and said, "Don't worry about that. I have made a deal with another Demonic Sect Master. I heard that this Master is familiar with all the Demonic Sect's traditions. Even if there are some flaws, we don't need to cultivate to become immortals. We just need to obtain the method for refining the poison."

The Azure Dragon Lord loudly proclaimed that Youluozi had secretly learned all the secret techniques of the Demonic Sect, so going to her was definitely the right thing to do.

Although it can't completely solve the problem, at least there's a glimmer of hope.

Mo Suixin couldn't help but look at her master and whispered, "Master, at least give it a try."

Pang Duoduo smiled and said to Mo Suixin, "Of course we should try. It's not like I'm tired of living. If there's a chance to live, who would choose to die?"

After saying this, Pang Duoduo said to Chen Ye, "Sect Master, please accept my bow. From today onwards, my master and I will serve the Yellow Spring Sect."
