Wherever the Phantom Door passes, it usually leaves some obscure marks.
Use it to summon fellow disciples!
However, only high-level officials know about this kind of mark. Ordinary assassins are afraid of not being loyal enough, so even if they see it, they won't recognize it.
As the master of the Phantom Sect, Ye Chen naturally knows.
So soon, he followed the marks and came to a secret cave.
But before that, he had already changed into an assassin's outfit and put on a skull mask.
Of course, the mask he wears is the only one in the entire Phantom Door!
Because of this skull mask, there is an extra subtle mark on the forehead compared to other assassin masks.
A small word "lord"!
"who?"
As soon as he approached, a group of assassins immediately appeared from around him, all of them ready.
But when they saw the mask on Ye Chen's face, they were all so frightened that they knelt down on one knee and said respectfully: "I've met the sect master!"
"Who is at the headquarters?" Ye Chen asked directly.
"Almost all the senior officials in the headquarters are here!" an assassin responded.
"Oh? Are everyone here?" Ye Chen's mind moved.
It seems that I guessed well, this time things are indeed not simple.
Being able to mobilize all the senior officials of the Phantom Gate Headquarters shows what a fierce battle this Wan Zhang Summit has ushered in.
"Take me in!"
"Yes, please come down, Master!"
An assassin hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way.
After a while, he entered the depths of the cave.
"I've met the sect master!"
Wherever he passed, all the assassins saluted respectfully.
"Wuhen, you are actually here?"
Ye Chen was even more surprised.
Because not only the senior officials of other Phantom Sect headquarters were paying tribute to him, but also the previous sect leader Ye Mei and the current Saint Xue Wuhen were also there.
The appearance of the previous generation sect master and the contemporary saint at the same time shows that things are even more complicated.
"What exactly is going on?"
Ye Chen asked in a deep voice.
Ye Mei did not answer, but waved to the others, "You guys go down first!"
"yes!"
The surrounding assassins responded and retreated in unison.
Although Ye Mei is no longer the supreme master of the Phantom Sect, he is still the previous generation sect leader and has a very high prestige. Besides Ye Chen, he is naturally the leader.
"There is such a big operation at Phantom Gate, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
After the others went down, Ye Chen continued to ask.
"Master, it's not that we don't want to tell you, but we are afraid that you will be embarrassed!" Ye Mei said awkwardly.
"Afraid of embarrassing me?" Ye Chen frowned, "Why?"
"because……"
Ye Mei wanted to speak but stopped.
Xue Wuhen, on the other hand, walked up to Ye Chen and said bluntly: "You are a warrior of the Piaomiao Sect, and our operation this time will most likely lead to a life-and-death battle with the Piaomiao Sect. We are afraid of embarrassing you!"
"I see!"
Ye Chen was relieved and did not blame these people.
Indeed, he first entered the Piaomiao Sect, and then became the master of the Phantom Sect by accident.
Perhaps in the eyes of Ye Mei and others, it is understandable that he still misses his old relationship with the Piaomiao Sect, so he keeps things secret from him.
After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Then what is your specific plan?"
"Of course it's to rob the treasures in the emperor's tomb!"
Xue Wuhen said: "This plan has been secretly brewing for several years!"
Now that they had spoken out, Xue Wuhen did not hide anything and immediately described their specific plan in detail.
After hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help being shocked.
According to Xue Wuhen, this so-called plan has indeed been brewing for a long time.
So many things he had experienced before were all related to this plan.
For example, the five powerful people in the past were repeatedly assassinated for no reason, as well as the Yinfeng Sect's assassination of the masters and disciples of the Piaomiao Sect's outer sect in Xifeng Valley, and the great melee in Yining City, which were all part of the Phantom Sect's plan.
The reason why the Phantom Gate does this is to make the major forces suspicious of each other, attack each other, and consume each other.
Only when the five major forces have almost exhausted their resources and work together to open the seal placed by Emperor Haoran on Wan Zhang Peak, will they have a chance to snatch it.
As for the Yinfeng Sect and Zhui Ri Pavilion, they were originally forces of the righteous path. The reason why they were used by the Phantom Sect was because they also coveted the treasure left by Emperor Haoran.
Five years ago, the five major forces, Piaomiao Sect, Wanxiang Mountain, Jinchan Temple, Soul Palace, and Cangyu City, forcibly occupied Wan Zhang Peak without giving other forces a chance.
Even if we work together to break the seal peacefully in the future, other forces will not be allowed to get involved.
For this, Yinfeng Sect and Zhui Ri Pavilion naturally hold a grudge!
The Phantom Sect took advantage of this to drag down the Yinfeng Sect and Zhui Ri Pavilion bit by bit, promising that once they robbed the treasure left by Emperor Haoran, they would share it with these two forces.
"It's almost time for the five major forces to join forces to break the seal. According to the current situation, how sure are you that you can snatch the treasure left by Emperor Haoran?"
After pondering for a moment, Ye Chen asked.
"not much!"
Ye Mei solemnly said: "Even though we have consumed the foundation of the five major forces in various ways over the past few years, it is not enough in the end!"
After a pause, he added: "Even if they compete with each other while discussing the Tao at Wan Zhang Peak, causing serious damage to the combat power of all parties, even if we try our best, we can only be 60% sure at most!"
"Only 60%?"
Ye Chen frowned, "If it's only 60%, even if it succeeds in the end, won't there be heavy casualties?"
"If you want to seize the treasure in the emperor's tomb, this is the price you must pay!"
Ye Mei said resolutely: "The treasure left by Emperor Haoran may have an opportunity to become an emperor. This is the key to the major forces flocking to it. Naturally, we at the Phantom Sect are not willing to let it go!"
"Opportunity to become emperor?" Ye Chen raised his eyebrows.
The so-called opportunity to become an emperor refers to the possibility of one's cultivation reaching the emperor level.
The training system, from low to high, can be roughly divided into: knight level, master level, spirit level, sect level, king level, quasi-sage, holy level, quasi-emperor, and emperor level.
Each realm is divided into nine levels!
Throughout the Haoshan Mountains, there have been many saint-level powerhouses, but there has never been an emperor-level powerhouse.
Whoever steps into the Emperor level first will definitely have the ability to change the entire Haoshan situation.
It is even possible to unify all the forces in Haoshan!
As for Haoshan, it refers to all the forces within a thousand miles.
There are endless forces, big and small, here, but in the end, the five major forces are the leader, and they have not changed over the years.
Once an emperor-level powerhouse appears, this situation that has lasted for nearly a thousand years will be completely broken.
And this is the real reason why all the major forces are trying their best to fight for the treasures from the emperor's tomb!
"By the way, what are the cultivation levels of the leaders of the major forces?"
As his thoughts whirled, Ye Chen asked again.
"The masters of the top five major forces should all be at the holy level!"
Ye Mei said: "As for the masters of other forces, they are only quasi-sages at best!"
"What about you, senior?" Ye Chen looked at Ye Mei with burning eyes.
