Dragon Tamer

Inside the Iron Hall, chaos erupted instantly.

Elder Nan, Li Ying, Kong Tong, Elder Fan, and others all knew Nan Lingsha well.

How could she possibly suddenly do such a thing!!

“Nan Lingsha!!” Elder Nan roared in fury.

Nan Lingsha disregarded him, she closed the iron door again, letting the ink spill wildly within the Iron Hall, allowing those who had their names written to struggle in agony on the ground.

“Damned fool! Damned fool!!” Li Ying also screamed, his eyes filled with rage and, even more so, disbelief!

It was a known fact to everyone, including Li Ying, the father, and Elder Nan, the heavyweight, that Li Yunzi and Nan Lingsha were at odds.

After all, if the sisters had been allied, Li Yunzi’s path of sweeping and trampling would have been smoother!

But why…

Why had Nan Lingsha turned traitor now!!

Could it be that the sisters’ discord had been a sham from the very beginning?

The true trump card of Li Yunzi was her sister, Nan Lingsha.

The Ancestral Dragon City had long been in the grip of Li Yunzi, and the many years of discord and disputes between Nan Lingsha and her were nothing but an illusion created by Li Yunzi for all those who tried to overthrow her!

Was it all to eradicate all the rebels, to make people mistakenly believe that her foundation in the Ancestral Dragon City was unstable, all for today…

Yet, the sisters haven’t gotten along for many years, not since they were mere girls.

Li Ying and Elder Nan knew this all too well.

When they were so young, had they already foreseen this day!!

It is easy to deceive others with sibling discord…

But to deceive the closest kin, that requires a plan buried for many years!

Keep in mind, in the eyes of Li Ying, Elder Nan, including Kong Tong, the sisters’ discord was at a point where everyone in the Iron Hall might side with Li Yunzi, with the sole exception being Nan Lingsha!

After all, should Nan Lingsha side with Li Yunzi, they would be in control of the entire Li and Nan families’ power, and no one within the Ancestral Dragon City would dare to question any of their decisions.

“Hehehe, hehehe…” Li Ying’s eyes were bloodshot.

Veins on his face throbbed as the deadly ink lock penetrated his soul with an unstoppable evil power, madly burrowing into his spirit.

His features contorted in agony.

His internal organs were failing.

He had dreamed countless times of Li Yunzi piercing his, her father’s, throat with a sword in her sleep, but he would never have imagined it would be Nan Lingsha.

This pain was a thousand, no, a hundred thousand times worse than a sword piercing through his throat by Li Yunzi, because he had never doubted this father-daughter affection. He indulged his younger daughter from the bottom of his heart, hoping she could inherit all of Ancestral Dragon City and was even more relieved that she had always stood by his side, restraining the boundless ambitions of his elder daughter, Li Yunzi…

In the end, they both betrayed him.

“Bang!!!”

Li Ying staggered and bumped into the stone table in front of him as his mind began to blur.

He saw the surrounding walls transform into the Walls of the Underworld.

The stone tables on either side turned into the neatly arrayed Yama’s Desk.

The people around, under the swirling ink mist, turned into the green-faced, fanged Ten Halls Yama…

With the Judge at the forefront.

It was a woman.

She was neither Li Yunzi nor Nan Lingsha, nor was she anyone else.

She was his original spouse.

She had eyes just like her daughters’.

She was judging him.

Li Ying had a heart full of rage and complaints, but facing this woman, he could not even muster the courage to look her in the eye.

It was… it was he who had betrayed them.

It was his folly, his depravity, his forgetting of true intentions, his resentment over Li Yunzi’s power grab, his buried discontent with his wife’s dominance, because of various reasons, because of so many reasons…

The Judge approached and handed the Blood Dragon Paper to Li Ying.

Li Ying dared not look at it, for he had written his own name with his own hand. How could his father do such a heinous thing?

He was willing to descend into this hell.

He…

Exiled!

Exiled!!

In his self-reproach and torment, Li Ying saw his own name written under the word “Exiled.”

Was it Yunzhi and Lingsha Nian showing him some face for his father’s sake?

The noose had not tightened; Li Ying merely felt his breathing constricted, and as his consciousness gradually cleared a little, he found himself nearly paralyzed, lying on the cluttered floor of the Iron Hall.

All around him, bodies were scattered haphazardly, their eyes wide open and faces twisted in terror; most were already breathless, but their death throes and despair were palpable!

Li Ying trembled, his body completely devoid of strength.

Through his blurred vision, he saw Kong Tong, his face full of hatred, maintaining an expression of resentment and bitter wrath, no different from the others, devoid of any sign of life!

Elder Nan swayed unsteadily.

He was one of the few who could still stand.

Beside him, Elder Fan leaned heavily on the desk, breathing laboriously. Like Elder Nan, she was tightly bound by the ink noose, dripping with perspiration, and in excruciating pain…

It was probably because the power of Nan Lingsha’s life-and-death register had spread to others that these two strong figures had managed to survive. However, it was clear from their bloodless faces that they were far from at ease.

Nan Lingsha’s power was unfathomably deep, and no one had ever seen anyone who could match her. The Ancestral Dragon God Princess was likely already the strongest Divine and Mortal being in Ancestral Dragon City!

“The grace of not killing, the grace of not killing, the grace of not killing…” On the ground, a man wearing a Feather Crown was foaming at the mouth, even with a paralyzed face, he kept repeating the same mad words.

That man was Yang Xiu.

A representative from the Lingxiao City-State.

He had also written “Exiled.”

So he also had the tough luck to survive.

Those who wished for Li Yunzi’s death.

Not one could live.

But within this Iron Hall, the vast majority had written “Death!”

The iron gate was closed, and the murky light outside filtered through the crack in a thin line, like a thread of a sword.

Elder Nan and Elder Fan swayed…

Behind them were a few others who had managed to hold on, their eyes black, their bodies bruised all over, their souls severely wounded.

But they knew very well that the real Judge was still behind the door.

She was clad in rose-colored garments, her beautiful eyes like stars and moons, and only those who had passed under her paintbrush were the truly alive who walked out of this Iron Hall! The door was finally pushed open.

As she had said.

Nan Lingsha waited at the top of the steps.

Her eyes swirled with unfathomable emotions, but one thing was certain, she had no intention of letting those who had survived leave.

“Wicked and vicious woman!” “May you not rest in peace!

Elder Fan pointed at Nan Lingsha, her eyes full of rage.

“I hear Elder Fan is the Dragon Herding Sanctifier, who can summon the Five-clawed Heavenly Dragon. I wonder if you can compare with the Fire Kirin Dragon that I have painted?” said Nan Lingsha.

“Elder Fan, do not contest her power; she can paint the Ancestral Dragon!” At this moment, Elder Nan urgently spoke up.

Upon hearing this, Elder Fan’s complexion changed.

Not to mention her soul was injured, even at her best, she did not have complete confidence to stand against the Ancestral Dragon Painting Soul!
