The next day, Phantom Gate Headquarters, Shadowless Palace.
"Meet the leader!"
The unanimous voice of everyone resounded throughout the hall.
At a glance, everyone in the hall was standing next to each other, all bowing to Ye Chen who was sitting at the head of the table.
And these people, in addition to the senior officials of the Phantom Gate headquarters, also include important figures from various forces in Haoshan.
Even Lord Bai and Quan Gao, the five top leaders of the forces, were all present.
Since Ye Chen killed the envoy from the Southern Territory with a sword yesterday, all the forces in Haoshan, led by the five top forces, have made a unified decision.
Honor Ye Chen as the leader of Haoshan Alliance!
From now on, not only do all the forces have to lift their hostility towards the Phantom Sect, but they also have to obey the Phantom Sect's orders.
And today is a great day for the alliance!
The so-called alliance is ostensibly to promote solidarity and mutual assistance and reduce killings.
In fact, it is just to allow various forces to come to worship, and to formulate various rules for these forces to abide by.
As for the specific process, Ye Chen did not do it himself, but directly left it to the senior management of Phantom Gate to do it.
He just sat on the front seat and made a speech when needed, and then returned to the palace deep inside.
…
"Ye Chen, are you back?"
"Brother, aren't you busy?"
"Master, aren't you prepared to shock those people?"
Just after I came back, countless familiar voices sounded.
In the courtyard, familiar faces greeted us.
Six Wanfa Hall disciples including Xue Wuhen, Ye Yanran, Ye Mei, and Si Wenkang.
Originally, Ye Yanran, Si Wenkang and others were not members of the Phantom Sect, but after rescuing the hostages yesterday, Ye Chen naturally asked them to join the Phantom Sect.
As for the Piaomiao Sect, they naturally did not dare to say anything other than congratulations.
"Senior, are you really Wuhen's mother?"
After chatting with others, Ye Chen found Ye Mei and pointed out: "Is this the reason why you helped me ascend to the position of sect leader?"
"That's right!"
Ye Mei nodded, and immediately looked at Xue Wuhen, who was pretty and blushing next to her, "Don't you want to know who your father is?"
"Mom, are you willing to tell me?"
Xue Wuhen suddenly became excited.
She wanted to ask yesterday, but because things happened one after another, she had no chance to ask.
Later, because her mother needed medical treatment, she had no choice but to endure it.
"Gui Chou, it's up to you to say it!"
Ye Mei said to an old woman next to her: "You were the one who knew the situation best at the beginning. Please tell Wuhen about it. It's time for the secret that has been hidden for twenty years to be revealed again!"
"Yes, ma'am!"
Elder Guichou responded and immediately looked over to Xue Wuhen.
"The secret from twenty years ago?"
Xue Wuhen frowned, "Elder Guichou, why did you call my mother Madam? What is going on?"
"Holy girl, haven't you thought of it yet?"
Elder Guichou sighed: "Ye Mei is indeed the previous master of the Phantom Sect, but it is not your mother's name, but your father's name!"
"My father?" Xue Wuhen was startled.
"That's right!" Guichou nodded, "Two years ago, a big event happened at the Phantom Gate..."
Under Gui Chou's narration, a secret from twenty years ago finally surfaced.
It turns out that Xue Wuhen is actually the biological daughter of the previous sect leader!
Ye Mei, on the other hand, is the real previous generation sect leader and Xue Wuhen’s father.
As for Xue Wuhen's mother, her real name is Miao Ying, and she is the wife of the previous sect leader Ye Mei.
The reason why Miao Ying pretended to be Ye Mei was because of an old incident twenty years ago.
Twenty years ago, Ye Mei's cultivation had already reached the ninth level of the Saint level, and she was only one step away from entering the legendary quasi-emperor realm.
However, when he was about to hit the quasi-emperor realm, something went wrong and he went crazy.
That night, the demonic Ye Mei actually went on a killing spree inside the Phantom Gate, and countless senior executives of the Phantom Gate died tragically under his butcher knife.
It wasn't until the demonic nature gradually faded that Ye Mei regained her sanity!
It's just that the catastrophe has been caused, and it's too late to regret.
Because the matter was too big, countless elders and high-level officials of the Phantom Sect rushed over.
After regaining her sanity, Ye Mei suffered severe backlash. Not only did her cultivation plummet, but her life was also not long.
Fearing that his wife Miao Ying and the unborn Xue Wuhen would be harmed, Ye Mei resolutely made a crazy move.
Wearing the clothes of his wife Ye Mei, with disheveled hair, he resolutely blew himself up at the top of the cliff when the strong men from the Phantom Gate arrived.
Before self-destruction, Ye Mei had left a suicide note.
Let Miao Ying put on the mask of her own door master and pretend to be herself to continue to control the Phantom Door.
As for the previous crazy killings, they were all blamed on the sect owner's wife, Miao Ying herself.
Because the powerful men from the Phantom Sect who came over saw with their own eyes Miao Ying, disguised as Ye Mei, self-destructed on the cliff.
As long as the responsibility is put on Miao Ying and it is said that Miao Ying went crazy and caused this catastrophe, naturally no one will be suspicious.
In order to protect Xue Wuhen, who was about to be born, and to stabilize the situation of the entire Phantom Sect, Miao Ying endured her grief, put on the mask of Ye Mei, and lived as the sect leader for twenty years.
Apart from Miao Ying herself, only Guichou, who originally served Miao Ying, knew the inside story.
"Holy girl, you should know now why you grew up in the Phantom Sect headquarters, and why the sect master always taught you everything personally, right?"
After recounting the experience of twenty years ago in one breath, Guichou sighed: "If the sect leader hadn't been quick to act in a hurry, not only would the sect leader himself have been criticized verbally and written by everyone in the Phantom Sect, but you mother and daughter would also have been implicated!"
"But why haven't you told me all these years?" Xue Wuhen said.
"Because you are still young and act too willfully and impulsively. If you are not careful, your mother's disguise as the sect leader will be exposed. Not only will there be a rebellion within the Phantom Sect, but you and your daughter may also be knocked down from the top of power to the bottom.
!”
Glancing at Ye Chen who was listening quietly, Guichou said happily: "Fortunately, the sect master's timely appearance gave your mother a chance to relieve herself of her heavy burden!"
"Since Madam, you are pretending, why is your cultivation level so high?" Ye Chen asked in surprise.
According to Guichou, Ye Mei, the real master of the Phantom Gate, died twenty years ago.
The only person who has been in charge of the Phantom Sect these years is Miao Ying, the wife of the sect owner!
In this case, it stands to reason that Miao Ying's cultivation level should not be that high.
But yesterday, the leaders of the five top forces, including Bai Jun, joined forces to defeat Miao Ying.
This is too mysterious!
"What does my cultivation mean?"
Miao Ying laughed at herself: "If my husband hadn't been careless in his cultivation and had gone crazy, a powerful quasi-emperor would have appeared in Haoshan!"
Guichou then echoed: "Master, you may not know something. Back then, my wife and the master of the Yemei Sect were both known as the twin saints of the Phantom Sect. Not only was the master of the Yemei Sect unrivaled in cultivation, my wife's strength should not be underestimated either.
!”
"I see!"
After listening, Ye Chen finally felt relieved.
"Brother, what's wrong with your eyes?"
At this time, Ye Yanran, who had been standing next to him, seemed to have discovered something. He stared at Ye Chen and said, "Why are there a wisp of black energy in your eyes?"
"Black energy?" Ye Chen was startled.
After sensing it carefully, his expression suddenly changed.
