Chapter 2199: Bound together
It didn't require much thought to realize that those ancient clans from the Collateral Branch were
starting to draw in all the various factions in the Independent State so that those factions could join their
side during the Collateral Branch's battle with the Direct Line.
...
That night, Ye Wanwan brought Wen Ziran, several elders, Big Dipper, Seven Star, and several other
members to the ancient Si clan.
The ancient Si clan was considered one of the mammoth powers in the Independent State and the
scope of their strength was frightening.
Inside the ancient Si clan's conference room, Ye Wanwan immediately caught sight of Si Yehan sitting Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
next to the leader of the ancient Si clan.

It had to be said that these two people truly looked rather similar.
Since it was an important, solemn meeting and the participants were all leaders from the Independent
State, Ye Wanwan and Si Yehan didn't interact too much.
And the leader of the Si Clan's words were simple and easy to understand.
He wanted them to join the Collateral Branch and resist the Direct Line's invasion together.
However, all the major factions were noncommittal, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. No one wanted to
be the first one. The second any of them agreed, it'd be the same as becoming enemies with the Direct
Line.
Even Ye Wanwan didn't declare whether she would join the ancient clans and the Collateral Branch's
camp or not.
Right now, Madam and Patriarch Nie were imprisoned in the Direct Line. If the Fearless Alliance and
the Nie family joined the Collateral Branch, it might infuriate the Direct Line, leading to unthinkable
consequences.
This was in line with Si Yehan's intentions. He didn't want her to act rashly and wanted them to watch
and wait for the right opportunity.
After departing from the ancient Si clan, Si Yehan escorted Ye Wanwan back to the Fearless Alliance's
headquarters. The family of three ate dinner there, and Si Yehan didn't leave until Tangtang fell asleep.
Lately, Asura had too many affairs waiting for attention, and Si Yehan needed to personally take care of
them.
Two days afterward, both the Fearless Alliance and Prison announced that the Fearless Alliance would
join Prison and become Prison's fourth core faction.

Right now, the Fearless Alliance was tightly bound together with Prison and they could share their
resources, especially in an unusual period of time like this.
Furthermore, something occurred that sent shocks throughout the Independent State. Asura single-
handedly eradicated three branches of the Martial Arts Union and destroyed six of their vital
storehouses in one night.
After that, the Martial Arts Union retaliated, and Heavenly Hatred and Slaughter's Gate also joined. The
battle couldn't be stopped.
"Ah-Jiu... why did you start fighting with the Martial Arts Union?"
From the Fearless Alliance, Ye Wanwan initiated a video call with Si Yehan.
"Where's Tangtang?" Si Yehan asked.
"He just finished eating and he's playing with Great White and Little Black on the 13th floor," Ye
Wanwan answered truthfully.
"Wait... I was asking you why you started fighting with the Martial Arts Union."
Lately, the Independent State was in an extremely tumultuous state already, so it would've been best if
the matter with the Martial Arts Union was stowed aside for now.
"What do you think?" Si Yehan retorted.
Ye Wanwan: "..."
In truth, Ye Wanwan could guess that Asura didn't attack the Martial Arts Union because of what
happened on the island. It was probably because of what Si Xia did to her back then.
However, making anyone from Prison assess the current situation was simply unrealistic. Which one of
them didn't act as their heart desired, including the Fearless Alliance?
"You don't need to get involved with this matter; it's just a minor battle," Si Yehan said.
Ye Wanwan didn't refute this point.
Both the Martial Arts Union and Prison didn't exert their whole strength, so it could indeed be
considered a minor battle.
