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

Chapter 349 The Number One Righteous Sect of Today
Chen Ye always felt that the most difficult opponent he had ever encountered was Youluozi.

And this witch proved once again that Chen Ye's idea was correct.

Only two hours had passed since the attack on Fengdu City, and Youluozi already knew about it.

Her ability to hear everything is truly terrifying; what secrets in this world can be kept from her?

Even though Chen Ye would use the soundproofing array that Yu Shenxing taught him to cover the conch shell every time a crucial secret was mentioned, Chen Ye still felt it wasn't safe enough, because the wind would carry all the sound.

Youluozi's super hearing doesn't even require sound to reach her ears.

No matter where or when the sound appears, she can extract it at any time.

However, Chen Ye also noticed the details mentioned by Youluozi: the Tiger Lord took revenge because of the death of the Azure Dragon.

Therefore, the culprit behind this plague has been found.

The plague created by the Tiger Lord is a massacre of mortals. Revenge is probably just a side effect; the real purpose is to slaughter mortals and then expand his own power.

In addition, Youluozi said that Huchang's power has recently increased greatly, and he has a group of subordinates who are not bewitched. That must be because he obtained them after slaughtering mortals through the plague.

The Changgui is a legendary creature even within the Demonic Sect.

Unlike ordinary ghosts, ghosts are those whose spirits linger after death.

The changgui is different; it requires a certain ritual to transform it.

Legend has it that tiger demons devour living people, swallowing their souls as well. After brewing the souls in their bellies for a hundred days, they spit them out, transforming the spirits into vengeful ghosts.

The changgui looks similar to the yin spirit, but it is completely controlled by humans and is not afraid of sunlight or other means of suppressing yin spirits.

A thousand years ago, the most skilled at commanding the changgui was the Yinshan Demon Lord, who was also the ancestor of the Huchang Lord.

Unfortunately, this Demon Lord is not well-known. All that is known is that he is good at transforming ghosts into his accomplices. His sect is somewhat like the unscrupulous Yellow Springs Sect, which also uses a bunch of ghosts as Yin soldiers.

Chen Ye looked at Qu Heng, but only saw him shake his head.

Qu Heng is not old, and his knowledge of the Demonic Sect comes entirely from the inheritance he received before, as well as the information he has gathered over the years.

He was very familiar with the Crimson Serpent Demonic Sect, but not much about the other demonic sects.

Yinshan Demon Lord was one of the few Demon Lords who did not die by Zhang Qi's sword. It is said that during the internal strife of the Demon Sect, Yinshan Demon Lord died at the hands of Bewitching Heart Demon Lord.

Therefore, Hu Chang and You Luo Zi can be considered sworn enemies.

However, Chen Ye now knows that most of the rumors are inaccurate, either concealing some parts or fabricating others.

The truth is not important; what Chen Ye needs is a solution.

Chen Ye asked the conch shell, "Do you have a way to cure that poisonous fog plague?"

"Of course not, but as long as we kill the tiger's accomplice, everything will be resolved."

This is a truism, but it seems to be the only way.

Chen Ye asked, "Do you have a way? Like how you schemed against Qingjiao last time?"

Youluozi said, "It's not that simple. Qingjiao is the stupidest and easiest to fool. Changgui is not affected by my charm, so it's difficult for me to plant spies around Huchang. To deal with Huchang, there's no way to use tricks; the only way is to kill him again and again until he is completely killed."

The last time they hunted down the Azure Dragon, it was because the undercover agent, Hansha Daoren, destroyed all of the Azure Dragon Lord's life-saving methods, allowing them to eliminate it in one go. Now, without an inside help, killing a Lord would take who knows how many years.

Unless, there is a means that can directly extinguish all life force and give no chance of rebirth.

Chen Ye couldn't help but think of the sword energy gourd in his storage bag.

Chen Ye has taken this treasure out many times. He has always wanted to find a suitable opponent to test its power, but every time he takes it out, either it becomes unusable or the situation takes an unexpected turn. As a result, he has never opened this treasure even once in all the time he has had it.

However, we cannot place all our hopes on magic weapons.

Chen Ye pondered for a moment and said to You Luozi, "What plans do you venerable masters have recently? Hu Chang seems to be expanding his power, but I really don't understand why they chose Yunlu Immortal Sect when this plague fog can be released in any mortal settlement?"

Among the five major sects, the Qinghe Sword Sect has the fewest members, the Fenxiang Sect has just been destroyed, Tianxin Island is isolated and helpless, and the Shenlou Sect has just suffered several setbacks. Currently, the Yunlu Immortal Sect is the strongest among the five major sects.

Especially after Zhang Qi's death, the Qinghe Sword Sect no longer had a number one sword immortal who could dominate everyone, and the Yunlu Immortal Sect is now the number one sect.

Logically speaking, one should pick on the weakest target. The Demonic Sect is meant to stir things up, and there's also Hundred Seas Valley, a gathering place for rogue cultivators, which they can bully as much as they want.

“I’m not sure of the exact reason, but as far as I know, even the Tiger’s henchmen can’t spread this plague at will; there must be some kind of restriction. Unfortunately, this secret is hard to find out, and I need an opportunity to discover his Achilles’ heel.”

Chen Ye and You Luozi had collaborated many times, and every time You Luozi said something like that, Chen Ye knew what she wanted.

Chen Ye asked, "Do you need my help to divert the Tiger's attention?"

"As expected, Sect Leader Chen understands women's minds best. Although I don't know how Hu Chang chooses the locations to spread the plague, I have learned that Hu Chang has secretly taken control of several small towns, and many of his disciples are hiding there."

"If Sect Master Chen could give them some retribution, perhaps I could find more information. However, these disciples are all protected by vengeful spirits, making them difficult to deal with."

I have to say again, this witch seems to know everything.

Even the all-knowing Youluozi couldn't deal with Huchang, so Chen Ye needed to be extremely careful.

"Tell me the address, and I'll take care of it."

Chen Ye verbally agreed but did not intend to handle it himself. The Yellow Springs Sect was currently unable to spare any manpower to deal with the Tiger's accomplices. However, the Cloud Peak Immortal Sect would be very happy with this information.

Yu Shenxing wrote several letters to Chen Ye, and Chen Ye could sense that everyone in the Yunlu Immortal Sect was holding back their anger.

The plague caused by the Tiger Lord not only slapped the Yunlu Immortal Sect in the face, but also killed tens of thousands of people. At the same time, the mortals who sought refuge caused the Yunlu Immortal Sect a lot of trouble.

Chen Ye could tell from the words that Yu Shenxing was somewhat exhausted.

No one in the Yunlu Immortal Sect knew how to settle the refugees. After creating a lot of trouble, they not only failed to gain much respect from mortals, but also received a lot of complaints.

Those arrogant disciples were repeatedly provoked and almost killed someone.

It was only then that the Yunlu Immortal Sect realized that after a thousand years of peace, the ability of its disciples to handle affairs was so... mediocre.

They couldn't even manage mortals, and had no other way but to suppress them with violence. However, they didn't dare to actually slaughter mortals. When the mortals discovered their blustering but cowardly appearance, the Yunlu Immortal Sect was immediately put in a completely passive position.

Therefore, everyone in the Yunlu Immortal Sect was already furious. If they found out that Hu Chang was the mastermind, and they also happened to know Hu Chang's stronghold, they would be in serious trouble.

The Demonic Sect will witness the strength of the current number one righteous sect.
