Joining the Li Family is far less promising than aligning with the Salvation Army.

Wang Chen naturally longed for this, as his greatest wish in life was to ascend to Tier Two and establish a family legacy.

Upon his return, he falsely claimed to have accidentally killed an old Leader Level Rock-Horned Horse, with fresh Rock-Horned Horse meat and strength as proof. The Li Family, busy dealing with an attack, paid him little attention.

As for the Li Family, once they recovered, they realized their original plan to enhance strength had collapsed. So, they needed to quickly elevate the evolution levels of their members to face the upcoming rebellion.

They also needed to win over all Tier One Late Stage and Tier Two Evolvers in the Oasis at all costs, aiming to completely overpower the Church in terms of evolutionary power.

Thus, Wang Chen, who was promoted to Tier One Late Stage and had rich combat experience, saw his power and status further solidified. He was appointed as the leader of all external evolvers of the Li Family and joined the core leadership.

He was even personally summoned by Li Mingquan, the grandson of the Patriarch of Nongzhuang Village.

The two had just ended a heartfelt conversation.

Li Mingquan sincerely apologized for some minor conflicts between the Li Family and Wang Chen in the past.

He also offered compensation in the form of a large number of Late-stage Evolution Agents.

Helping him to advance to Level 18 or even Level 19!

The condition was that when the Li Family initiated a major event or rebellion, Wang Chen would assist in defending Nongzhuang Village or lead a team of evolvers to attack Holy Spring Village.

Knowing the real truth, Wang Chen agreed with a seemingly flattered expression, but deep down, he sneered silently, thinking the Li Family indeed had ulterior motives, planning to use outsiders as cannon fodder at the end.

Then, Li Mingquan mentioned something that filled Wang Chen with doubt.

The person they intended to deal with was not Priest Su An, the village chief guarding Holy Spring Village, but the newly promoted Tier Two Evolver from the Holy Spring Sect.

This individual was nurtured by the Holy Spring Sect to counter the rebellion initiated by the Li Family.

Wang Chen had some impression of them due to a woman under his command, whom he had met before leaving Oasis Town last time.

When he returned to Oasis as a late-stage evolver,

he learned from her about the recent events.

The death of Li Chengwu, their former logistics manager, was a cause for celebration in his heart.

Since then, the convoy in the Oasis was taken over by his woman, Tian Wanrong. Under her transformation, unnecessary clutter and personnel were cleaned up, making the team more orderly and barely compensating for Li Chengwu's loss.

From her, Wang Chen learned about the trouble Li Chengwu caused, and a man named Lin Feng, who like himself, recently advanced to Tier One Late Stage Evolver.

The difference was that Lin Feng had the support of the Holy Spring Sect.

Both were essentially working as labor for powerful forces.

But Wang Chen obviously envied Lin Feng's fortune more, having gained the appreciation of Father Su An, making smooth progress all the way.

However, Wang Chen was not concerned about Tian Wanrong's worries. Firstly, he had also become a late-stage evolver; a minor friction wouldn't lead to unhappiness.

Secondly, Wang Chen was about to leave Oasis Town, and with the Li Family about to be plundered by the Salvation Army, their downfall was imminent.

So there was no need to escalate the matter.

Tian Wanrong was his woman, and having some means, she could manage the team well. In the future, whether forming a convoy or joining the Salvation Army, she would be useful to bring along.

However, the events that followed began to exceed Wang Chen's expectations and control increasingly.

First, members of Lin Feng's team returned, loudly proclaiming that their leader had advanced to Tier Two.

Understanding the power of Tier Two Evolvers, Wang Chen felt a bit shaken upon hearing the news.

However, for an alien evolver on the Rock-Horned Horse path to advance to Tier Two, they had to absorb the source material of a Clan Leader Level Rock-Horned Horse.

Obtaining this life source material, whether by purchasing it from the Holy City or hunting in the wilderness, was fraught with challenges.

Therefore, this news was highly likely false.

Wang Chen comforted himself so, uneasily sitting in the luxurious RV given by the Li Family.

It wasn't until he confirmed it from Li Mingquan that he began to panic, feeling a deeper sense of worry in his heart.

Back then, both were Tier One Late Stage Evolvers, and even if Lin Feng advanced to Level 19, the gap wasn't significant.

But now, the other had already become a Tier Two powerhouse, with significant qualitative enhancement in strength, while Wang Chen remained openly hostile.

Moreover, Li Mingquan wanted him to lead a team against this Tier Two evolver.

Thinking of this, Wang Chen showed a faintly ferocious expression, took a deep breath, and asked:

"According to rumors, this Tier Two evolver named Lin is also a firearms ability user?"

Li Mingquan nodded in confirmation:

"That's correct, but don't worry too much. Although firearms ability users have intense firepower and strong combat ability, their endurance is poor. After a full-force output, they need food and rest before resuming combat."

"Moreover, their close combat ability is quite limited. Lin Feng, having just advanced to Tier Two, is only at Level 20 and might not even be able to defeat a Level 19 evolver in close combat. As long as you can charge head-on, everything will be fine."

"Most importantly, once you become a Level 19 Evolver, we will equip you with the Rock Horse Armor, derived from a Tier Two Clan Leader Level Rock-Horned Horse, which will provide formidable defense and easily withstand artillery attacks."

As he spoke, Li Mingquan patted Wang Chen on the shoulder, earnestly saying:

"You are an important member to us. Once the Li Family gains control over the Oasis, holding a dominant position, we will still need to accept everyone, and you can be a role model."

"Without the Church's extortion and oppression, Oasis Town can support over ten Tier Two Evolvers. Work hard, and as long as we can eliminate the Holy Spring Sect, I personally guarantee that you will have a place in the future highest council of Oasis."

Wang Chen suppressed his inner fear, showing a ferocious smile as he nodded and agreed wholeheartedly.

In reality, he knew better than anyone that these were flowery words from the Li Family, and believing them would spell doom.

A Level 19 physique, operating the Tier Two Rock Horse Armor in prolonged combat, would not only deplete his life force but also risk dissolution and digestion by this biological battle armor.

Essentially, it activates external Tier Two cells with nutrients from within his own body.

The Li Family had no good intentions, wanting Wang Chen, an outsider, to engage Lin Feng, the Tier Two firearms ability user, in combat.

Furthermore, having already decided to betray, there was no way Wang Chen would exert effort for the doomed Li Family.

The immediate task was certainly to resolve the misunderstanding with this newly promoted firearms ability user, the Tier Two Evolver.

To avoid being targeted under duress during the rebellion.

So upon learning from his underling that a distinguished guest had arrived at the guild, Wang Chen hurriedly brought the detained Tian Wanrong, rushing to the Hunting Wilderness Guild.

This led to the current scenario, leaving Lin Feng somewhat bewildered...

"Lord Lin, this woman has offended you many times, acting on her own with Qi Mountain while I was away. I only learned of this after returning."

"I deeply apologize for this."

Wang Chen forced a smile uglier than crying, dragging the woman like a dead dog, and continued respectfully:

"Upon hearing that Lord Lin returned to Oasis, I specifically brought her here to be dealt with as you see fit!"
