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

Chapter 365 Youluozi's Advice
Fame is not necessarily related to actual achievements.

For example, the two Venerable Masters of Cixin Temple, who had reached the Void Realm, were not well-known in the unorthodox sects. When others talked about them, they would say, "Isn't this just another Buddhist sect?"

The same applies to the Yellow Springs Sect. No matter how powerful they are in the northern frontier of Chenye, without publicity, no one will know about them.

Many cultivators never fly more than 500 li in their entire lives, while the distance between the Northern Frontier and the Western Border is tens of thousands of li.

Therefore, the Huangquan Sect desperately needs publicity these days.

However, this matter needs careful consideration. The Incense Burning Sect incident is merely a stepping stone; it's not something that can be achieved simply by stepping on it once.

Mo Suixin couldn't help with this, and there was almost no one in the entire Huangquan Sect who could share Chen Ye's burden in this matter; Chen Ye had to figure it out on his own.

As darkness fell, Fang Hao came to pay his respects and said that the members of the Burning Incense Sect had been taken into custody and stored in his magic treasure.

Only then did Chen Ye realize that Fang Hao had a treasure that could hold a person. The Incense Burning Sect was truly a large and powerful organization, lacking nothing of value.

However, the Incense Burning Sect is currently far away in the Central Plains, and it will probably take some time for the news to reach them. Chen Ye only instructed Fang Hao to keep a close watch on things, and if the Cloud Peak Immortal Sect had any objections, Chen Ye would handle it.

As the night grew quiet, Chen Ye looked out at the bright moonlight and couldn't sleep. He was still thinking about how to make the Yellow Spring Sect famous in a short period of time.

Just as he was fretting, a languid, alluring voice, carrying a hint of coolness, rang in Chen Ye's ear.

"Sect Leader Chen, if you have any difficulties, why not let me share your burdens?"

Chen Ye's brows furrowed suddenly. This Youluozi was truly impossible to guard against; even within the Yunlu Immortal Sect, he couldn't escape her eavesdropping.

Chen Ye took out a conch shell from his storage bag and replied, "You've been listening to my every move? As the dignified Lord of the Demonic Sect, are you that idle?"

Youluozi laughed and said, "How could that be? But we both know that the Yunlu Immortal Sect's grand assembly is the beginning of a great war between the righteous and demonic paths. Not only me, but any demonic cultivator wants to know the current situation of the Yunlu Immortal Sect. Since I have this ability, why don't I eavesdrop?"

"Don't worry, Sect Master Chen, if you want to spend the night with Miss Mo in the boudoir, I promise to cover my ears. But you're here sighing at the moon, tossing and turning, unable to sleep. Why don't you chat with me? If we have a good chat, I might be able to share some of the 'interesting stories' I heard in this immortal sect today with you, Sect Master Chen."

Chen Ye immediately felt a chill.

If no one in the world can escape Youluozi's eavesdropping, then the purpose of this conference will be greatly diminished.

Youluozi knows all the plans of the righteous path. Once the demonic sect is prepared, all their efforts will be in vain.

Although Youluozi also hoped that Huchang would suffer a great loss, when the other lords had all suffered, the righteous path would face an opponent who knew all their secrets.

Moreover, she is a witch who is extremely skilled at confusing the public and sowing discord.

Just imagining it made Chen Ye feel uneasy.

We must find a way to deal with Youluozi's super hearing, otherwise he will never be able to sleep peacefully again.

Youluozi seemed to be able to hear Chen Ye's heartbeat and breathing at this moment, and said with a mournful tone, "Sect Master Chen, you are bullying me too much. I came here to share your burdens, but why are you acting like you are keeping people at arm's length while you are thinking of harming them? Is this what you call a virtuous gentleman?"

Chen Yecai didn't bother arguing with Youluozi and went straight to the point: "Since you've been eavesdropping, there's no need for me to waste words. May I ask what Yourluozi's plans are?"

Youluozi laughed and said, "It's that simple. The Huangquan Sect is not well-known now because no one knows about the achievements you have made. The Azure Dragon is dead, but how many people know that? Even though the Huangquan Sect tore half of his body off outside Fengdu City, how many people witnessed that battle?"
"Sect Leader Chen possesses the inheritance of both the Crimson Serpent Demon Sect and the Nirvana Sect, two great demonic sects. With just a thought, two of the eighteen thrones underground would belong to you. How many people know of this achievement? But publicizing these things takes time. If the Yellow Spring Sect were to boast about it themselves, it would be a disgrace. Who is better at telling stories and spreading rumors than this young lady? Sect Leader Chen, why don't you try asking me for help?" Chen Ye sighed. Although he knew that most secrets couldn't be kept from this demoness, he really didn't expect that Youluozi would know about his trip to the Nirvana Sect's secret realm, and even that he had obtained the inheritance of the first sect leader.

It seems that the Yellow Spring Sect will have to rely on written communication for future meetings; perhaps that will be more effective.

"So, how will Lord Youluo help me promote the Yellow Springs Sect?" Chen Ye asked.

Youluozi laughed and said, "It's simple. In one day, I guarantee that everyone in the Yunlu Immortal Sect will hear about the Huangquan Sect's great achievements, and I guarantee that it won't seem deliberate. It's just before your conference starts, which should best meet your requirements."

Chen Ye asked with a cold smile, "Then, what is the price?"

"Help me open the gate deep within the Ruins of Return. As long as you open that gate, I'll do anything you ask, not only to help you promote the Yellow Springs Sect." Youluozi's voice carried a hint of fanaticism, as if he couldn't wait any longer.

"A piece of candy can't buy a city, Lord Youluo, your plan is far too ambitious."

As expected, it was still Guixu. Youluozi was really determined to release what was imprisoned inside. Chen Ye couldn't help but be curious and said to Youluozi, "Lord Youluo, you should know my personality very well. If I don't know what is imprisoned inside, even if you threaten me with my life, I will not help you, let alone exchange it with favors."

Youluozi sighed softly, then said, "Of course I know. If it were anyone else, you would have already emptied the Guixu of all its treasures. I have never seen such an unyielding man. Since you want to know, I will reveal some information. Imprisoned deep within the Guixu is an old friend of mine, who is also my benefactor, so I must grant him his freedom."

"You don't need to worry about any impact. You've witnessed the capabilities of that watchdog and should know it's no ordinary creature. The one locked up inside is the same; once he regains his freedom, he'll ascend to heaven and won't cause any trouble."

Is this witch repaying a debt of gratitude?

Although this witch usually lies nine out of ten times, Chen Ye had a strange feeling that Youluozi seemed to be telling the truth this time.

But Chen Ye quickly suppressed this thought. Who knew if he had fallen under the spell of this witch? He had to nip any goodwill he might have for You Luozi in the bud.

Chen Ye continued, "Lord Youluo, you should know that I can't believe empty words. You also know that I have some knowledge of ancient legends and figures. I can recognize that black dog. Perhaps if you tell me the name of the person inside the sect, I can judge whether it is true or false."

The key is the name; all those fancy love and hate stories are of no reference value whatsoever.

"It seems that Sect Leader Chen is very unwilling to cooperate with me."

Youluozi was unwilling to mention that person's name at all, and was even unwilling to make one up. It seems that the person imprisoned in Guixu is indeed a big shot with a name, which is why one cannot just use a fake name.

Or perhaps the name is related to opening the door; they've fooled Chen Ye now, but things might go wrong later.

These were the only things Chen Ye could think of for the time being, and the more he thought about them, the less he could help.

"Since Lord Youluo is unwilling to tell me, then I can only say that I am powerless to help. I will not trouble you with the matter of publicizing my achievements."

Youluozi chuckled and said to Chen Ye, "Then you've got it wrong, Sect Master Chen. I will still help you promote the Yellow Springs Sect, but it might not be the kind of promotion you're looking for."

Chen Ye said helplessly, "I am naturally aware of the Venerable Lord's ability to sow discord and distort the truth, and I was prepared for it. But have you thought it through? We still have a sliver of a chance to talk about cooperation. If you force me to become your mortal enemy, then you will never be able to open the Ruins of Return."

"Hehe, how could that be? Don't worry, Sect Master Chen, I will never distort the truth or spread rumors. Just wait and see if the Yellow Springs Sect becomes the number one righteous sect."
