2241 Illustrious pas

Nameless Nie’s plan was nearly flawless and perfect but also incredibly malicious.

Normally, Nameless Nie disguised himself as a greedy person, and this disguise had a clever effect in reality. No one in the Independent State would set their eyes on a good-for-nothing like him. Even if he once possessed an illustrious past, people only lived in the present.

Moreover, Nameless Nie faked his death in the end and escaped by a nifty vanishing act. No one would expect Nameless Nie to be the single-handed culprit behind this war between the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch.

“Did Nie Linglong know your identity…?” Ye Wanwan asked a moment later.

Nameless Nie sneered and shook his head. “How could she know? Nie Linglong… was merely one of my chess pieces. In truth… I wanted to let her control the Nie family first then cooperate with the Martial Arts Union to overturn the four great clans so that the four great clans would become my trump cards and help me escape if needed. Unfortunately, Nie Linglong was too stupid.”

“So… since you couldn’t obtain the four great clans, you could only fake your death to deceive everyone and attempt to escape the Arbitration Council’s investigation…” Ye Wanwan surmised.

Nameless Nie smiled. “That’s right… I did fake my death to deceive the Arbitration Council, but it wasn’t in fear of the Arbitration Council’s investigation. It concerns my future plan. If this plan succeeds, I’d target the Arbitration Council. They definitely wouldn’t anticipate a dead man in hiding to be their opponent, right?”

Ye Wanwan wrinkled her brows. Because of her, she exposed Nameless Nie’s identity…

If she had another chance, she wouldn’t have done that.

Regarding the elaborate scheme that Nameless Nie set up, Ye Wanwan wasn’t too surprised since she was aware of Nameless Nie and Ling Miao’s relationship.

Back then, after Ji Xiuran’s hypnotism, Nameless Nie was clueless about that ring’s history and didn’t like it, so he tossed it at the Nie residence.

Through the mechanisms of fate, Ye Wanwan led the Fearless Alliance to rob the Nie residence and coincidentally stole the ring that Nameless Nie left behind.

Hence, all these years, Nameless Nie was not only searching for her but also searching for the lovers’ ring that represented his relationship with Ling Miao.

“Brother… let me ask you again… are you… the one who killed Grandpa?”

Ye Wanwan walked forward so that she stood next to Nameless Nie as she asked him quietly. This was a private conversation between her and Nameless Nie. No one else could hear them.

“Yes or no. Is it still important now?” Nameless Nie gave a vague answer.

“Alright, that’s all I needed,” Ye Wanwan replied.

Before Ye Wanwan could continue, a clan leader from a collateral ancient clan angrily yelled, “Clan Leader Jiang, let’s set aside the conflict between the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch. We’ll first eradicate this little b*tard today. He was simply trying to drag every faction in the Independent State down with him while he’d reap the profits!”

Clan Leader Jiang narrowed his eyes and smirked. “Perfect, that’s exactly what I was thinking. No matter what, the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch came from the same source. Even if we want to determine a winner, we won’t tolerate being used by other people!”

Soon, all the factions supporting the Direct Line and the Collateral Branch coldly turned to Nameless Nie, the murderous intent in their eyes frightening.

“Heh… A bunch of garbage and nobodies like you want to take my life? You?” The corners of Nameless Nie’s lips curled up as his eyes swept across the battlefield. Despite becoming the public enemy number one of the entire Independent State, he still didn’t have any fear.
