“He employs this kind of strategy, not giving anyone a way out, not even to the legitimate lineage. Is he intending to wipe out all the forces in the Independent State, including both the legitimate and collateral branches?
Ye Wanwan looked at the black-robed man not far away. This man is truly too dangerous, and he’s an extremely belligerent individual. He seems to care little about the fate of the legitimate lineage he leads…
I don’t know how long it’s been, but this battle has become even more intense.
All major forces in the Independent State have suffered heavy losses, be it the legitimate or collateral branches. None of them gained any advantage. Apart from the immense losses, there were no other gains.
If this continues, everyone will likely exhaust themselves, and the Independent State may become an empty shell.
All the major and minor forces are starting to waver, harboring intense hatred for the black-robed man.
Even the legitimate lineage is no longer willing to follow the black-robed man’s so-called tactics. In fact, when the black-robed man was surrounded by the collateral branches, he refused to lend a hand.
At this moment, the black-robed man is encircled by more than a dozen strong members of the collateral branches.
However, despite the strength of these collateral branch members, they still find it difficult to resist the black-robed man.
Seeing this, Ye Wanwan couldn’t help but shake her head. What kind of collateral branch experts are these, that they can’t defeat one man, even when there are over ten of them?
“Disgraceful, attacking one man with over ten people,” Ye Wanwan scolded the dozen or so collateral branch experts.
“I belong to the legitimate lineage; I’ll help you,” Ye Wanwan said as she leaped towards the black-robed man and engaged in battle with the collateral branch experts.
Seeing this, the dozen or so collateral branch experts wore puzzled expressions. What is Nie Wuyou trying to do?
“If you’re really coming… then we won’t hold back!” one of the collateral branch experts said, looking at Ye Wanwan and speaking coldly.
They had been avoiding conflict, but this woman was using heavy force.
Ye Wanwan didn’t explain and quietly assessed the black-robed man.
Not long after, Ye Wanwan seized an opportunity and fiercely stabbed at the black-robed man with her dagger.
However, the black-robed man’s reaction was lightning fast. In an instant, he shifted slightly backward.
Although Ye Wanwan’s dagger didn’t claim the black-robed man’s life, there was a light “bang,” and the wooden mask on the black-robed man’s face was sent flying by the dagger.
When Ye Wanwan saw the extremely familiar face beneath the mask, she stood frozen in place, her mind blank, as if she had forgotten to breathe…
A delicate face with a mysterious smile, very familiar yet extremely strange.
Ye Wanwan had never imagined that the face beneath the mask would be like this.
A face that had her deeply worried.
“You’re getting cleverer,” the man said with a smile, looking at Ye Wanwan and speaking softly.
Not far away, the four major aristocratic families—Nie, Ji, Ling, and even the Shen family—all turned to look at the man in the black robe. When they saw the true face of the mysterious black-robed man, they wore expressions of astonishment no less intense than Ye Wanwan’s.
No one could have expected that the fierce and evil black-robed man would have such a familiar face.
Even more unexpectedly, this man would appear here and in this capacity.
What is he thinking… and why would he do such a thing? What is his goal?”
