After ending the video call, Ye Wanwan felt somewhat uneasy.
The prominent figures they had rescued from the island had immediately declared their unconditional support for the side branches.
However, in the following days, it seemed that the main branch was taking action. They dispatched a large number of assassins simultaneously to eliminate the leaders of the powerful figures who had joined the main branch.
In a short period, more than a dozen prominent figures were assassinated. If not for Ashura’s foresight, he had sent people to protect those figures and warned them in advance, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Not only the main branch but also the side branches had taken action. Their methods were similar to those of the main branch, sending numerous assassins from their ancient clans to assassinate the leaders who had declared support for the main branch.
However, what was unexpected was that the mixed-breed Eishui Han suddenly intervened. The assassins dispatched by the ancient clans were almost all killed by Eishui Han.
Currently, in the Independent State, there were many factions watching from the sidelines, including the three major core forces, including the Fearless Alliance. Meanwhile, Ashura had already announced his support for the side branches, becoming one of the biggest supporters of the side branches.
For a while, the relationships in the Independent State became incredibly complex, difficult to describe.
Different factions were vying for power, and small-scale battles erupted almost every day.
The four major clans were currently in a wait-and-see state. Both the main branch and the side branch sent people to visit and persuade the four major clans, but they had not received a clear response.
However, Ye Wanwan was very clear in her heart that for clans like the four major clans, it was impossible for them to remain neutral and detached, as it hadn’t reached the right time yet. Once the time was right, the four major clans would definitely have to make a choice.
In this battle, no force in the entire Independent State could remain neutral. Even if they didn’t want to participate in the war between the main branch and the side branch, it wasn’t their turn to choose.
…
Late at night, at the Fearless Alliance.
Ye Wanwan had a lot on her mind about the future path she should take.
Currently, her parents were still in the main branch’s hands. Supporting the side branches without thinking it through would obviously be a foolish act that would anger the main branch.
At the moment, Ye Wanwan only wanted to seek revenge for her brother, Nie Wuming, and rescue her parents from the main branch. As for the large-scale war between the main branch and the side branch, she was genuinely uninterested.
As for ruling the Independent State or anything of that sort, it had nothing to do with her.
“Beidou!”
Suddenly, Ye Wanwan called out from outside the door.
“Sister Maple, did you call me?”
Hearing this, Beidou entered the room.
“Summon some people; we’re going to visit the main branch,” Ye Wanwan said.
“Huh?”
Beidou looked puzzled. “Sister Maple… at this crucial juncture… we’re going to visit the main branch?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. What’s wrong with going to the main branch?” Ye Wanwan said.
“Well… if we go to the main branch, wouldn’t that be equivalent to supporting the main branch?” Beidou scratched his head.
“Don’t waste time; get ready quickly,” Ye Wanwan said impatiently.
Soon, several high-ranking members of the Fearless Alliance, including Beidou, Seven Stars, and Wen Ziran, left the Fearless Alliance and headed to the outskirts.
…
In a certain branch of the main branch.
“Hehe, Master Bai’s unexpected visit at this late hour is quite surprising,” the elder of the main branch hastily greeted Ye Wanwan as she walked out and smiled at her.
Ye Wanwan was not unfamiliar with this elder; he had visited the Fearless Alliance a few days ago.
“I won’t waste words with you. The purpose of my visit today is simple. Our Fearless Alliance and the Nie family support the main branch, but you must first release my parents,” Ye Wanwan got straight to the point.
