Chapter 97

Inside the Iron Hall, chaos erupted instantly.

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

How could she suddenly do such a thing!!

"Nan Lingsha!!" Nan Taigong roared in fury.

Nan Lingsha ignored them. She closed the iron door again, allowing the ink to spread wildly within the Iron Hall, and letting those who had written their names struggle in pain on the ground.

"Damn!! Damn!!" Li Ying also screamed, his eyes filled with both anger and disbelief!

The fact that Li Yunzi and Nan Lingsha were at odds was known to everyone, including Li Ying, their father, and Nan Taigong, the patriarch, who had no doubt about it.

After all, if they had joined forces, Li Yunzi's path to dominance would have been smoother!

But why...

Why did Nan Lingsha turn traitor now!!

Could it be that their sisterly discord was just a facade from the beginning?

Li Yunzi's true ace in the hole was her sister, Nan Lingsha.

This Anlong City had long been under Li Yunzi's control, and the years of discord and conflict between the sisters were merely a facade to mislead anyone who tried to overthrow her!

Was it all to eliminate all the rebels, to make people believe that her foundation in Anlong City was unstable, for today...

But they hadn't had a good relationship for many years, back when they were just young girls.

Li Ying and Nan Taigong knew this best.

Could they have foreseen this day when they were so young!!

It's easy to deceive others with sisterly discord...

But to deceive family, it must have been hidden for many, many years!!

After all, in the eyes of Li Ying, Nan Taigong, and even Kong Tong, the discord between the sisters had reached a point where everyone in the Iron Hall might side with Li Yunzi, except for Nan Lingsha!

After all, if Nan Lingsha sided with Li Yunzi, they would wield all the power of the Li and Nan families, and no one in Anlong City would dare to question any of their decisions.

"Ha ha ha, ha ha ha..." Li Ying's eyes were bloodshot.

His cheeks were veined, and the deadly ink chains were drilling into his soul with an irresistible evil force.

His features were contorted in pain.

His internal organs were failing.

He had dreamed countless times of Li Yunzi stabbing him in the throat while he slept, but he never imagined it would be Nan Lingsha.

This was a thousand times, a hundred thousand times more painful than being stabbed by Li Yunzi, because he had never doubted their father-daughter bond. He doted on his youngest daughter, hoping she would inherit everything in Anlong City, and was glad that she always stood by his side, restraining his eldest daughter Li Yunzi's endless ambition...

In the end, they both betrayed him.

"Bang!!"

Li Ying staggered and collided with the stone table in front of him, losing his senses.

He saw the walls around him transform into the walls of the underworld.

The stone tables on both sides turned into neatly arranged tables of the Ten Kings of Hell.

The people around him, enveloped in the ink mist, turned into the blue-faced, fanged Ten Kings of Hell...

The judge was a woman.

Not Li Yunzi, not Nan Lingsha, and not anyone else.

It was his original wife.

She had the same eyes as his daughters.

She was scrutinizing him.

Li Ying was filled with anger and accusations, but he couldn't even look her in the eye.

It was... it was he who betrayed them.

It was his incompetence, his decadence, his loss of his true self. He resented Li Yunzi's power grab, he harbored dissatisfaction with his wife's strength, for various reasons, for various reasons...

The judge walked over and handed the blood-dragon paper to Li Ying.

Li Ying didn't dare to look, because he had written his name with his own hand. How could a father do such a heartless thing.

He was willing to go to hell.

He...

Expelled!

Expelled!!

In his self-reproach and torment, Li Ying saw his name written under "expelled."

Was it a show of mercy from Yunzi and Lingsha, considering he was their father?

The noose didn't tighten, and Li Ying felt his breathing become difficult. As his consciousness gradually cleared, he found himself nearly paralyzed on the chaotic floor of the Iron Hall.

Around him, countless people lay sprawled, their eyes wide open, their faces twisted in terror and despair, most of them already lifeless, but their final struggles and hopelessness were evident.

Li Ying trembled, his body completely drained of strength.

In his blurred vision, he saw Kong Tong's face filled with hatred, maintaining a look of defiance and venom, just like the others, with no sign of life.

Nan Taigong staggered.

He was one of the few still standing.

Beside him, Elder Fan supported herself on the table, her breathing heavy. Like Nan Taigong, she was tightly bound by the ink chains, drenched in sweat, and in excruciating pain...

Perhaps because the power of Nan Lingsha's Life and Death Scroll was distributed among others, these two strong individuals managed to survive, but their pale faces showed that they were not at ease.

Nan Lingsha's strength was unfathomable. No one had ever seen anyone who could match her. She was probably already the strongest divine being in Anlong City!

"Gratitude for not killing, gratitude for not killing, gratitude for not killing..." On the ground, a man wearing a feathered cap foamed at the mouth, even though his face was paralyzed, he kept repeating these mad words.

That man was Yang Xiu.

The representative of Lingxiao City.

He had also written "expelled."

So he barely survived.

Those who wanted Li Yunzi dead.

None of them survived.

But in this Iron Hall, the vast majority had written "death!!"

The iron door was closed, and the murky light outside seeped through the crack, like a thread of sword light.

Nan Taigong and Elder Fan staggered...

Behind them, a few others managed to hold on, their eyes black, their bodies bruised, their souls severely damaged.

But they knew the true judge was still behind the door.

She wore a rose-colored dress, her beautiful eyes like stars and the moon. Those who walked past her brush were truly the ones who lived to leave the Iron Hall!

The door was finally pushed open.

As she had said.

Nan Lingsha waited at the steps of the hall.

The emotions in her eyes were inscrutable, but it was clear she had no intention of letting those who survived leave.

"Vicious and evil woman!"

"May you die a miserable death!!"

Elder Fan pointed at Nan Lingsha, her eyes filled with anger.

"Have you heard that Elder Fan is a Dragon Shepherd, capable of summoning a five-clawed celestial dragon? I wonder if it can compare to the fire-scaled dragon I have painted?" Nan Lingsha said.

"Elder Fan, don't engage her in a fight, she can paint the Anlong Dragon!" Nan Taigong quickly said.

Elder Fan's face changed when she heard this.

Not to mention her current soul damage, even if she were unharmed, she had no confidence in countering the Anlong Dragon's soul!
