After hanging up the video call, Ye Wanwan couldn't shake off her feeling of unease.
Those leaders they rescued from the remote island announced their unconditional support for the Collateral Branch immediately.
After that, the Direct Line acted and promptly dispatched a lot of assassins after those leaders.
In a short amount of time, a dozen or so leaders were assassinated. If it weren't for Asura having the foresight to send people to protect those leaders immediately and warn them, the consequences would've been inconceivable.
It wasn't only the Direct Line. The Collateral Branch also acted identically to the Direct Line and dispatched a lot of assassins from the ancient clans, secretly assassinating those leaders who had announced their support for the Direct Line.
However, what no one anticipated were the sudden actions of Piece of Sh*t, Yi Shuihan. Nearly all of those well-trained assassins sent by the ancient clans died in the hands of Yi Shuihan...

Right now, the entire Independent State was attempting to stay out of it, and many factions were still observing, including the Fearless Alliance and the two other core factions of Prison. Meanwhile, Asura had publicized their support for the Collateral Branch long ago and became one of the Collateral Branch's biggest helpers.
Suddenly, the relationships in the Independent State turned tangled and complicated and hard to describe.
Major factions belonged to different camps, and small-scaled battles would erupt nearly every day.
As for the four great clans, they fell to the observer side.
The Direct Line and the Collateral Branch sent someone to visit and lobby the four great clans nearly every day but never received a definite response.
Nonetheless, Ye Wanwan was incredibly aware that it was absolutely impossible for powers at the level of the four great clans to rest easy, maintain neutrality and stay out of the conflict.
The time merely hadn't come yet. Once the time was ripe, the four great clans had to make a decision.
This battle involved the entire Independent State. Not a single power could remain on the sidelines... Even if they were unwilling to join the war between the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch, they had no choice.
...
Late at night, in the Fearless Alliance:
Ye Wanwan's thoughts raced as she mulled over what road she should take in the future.
