Dragon Tamer

In fact, those who could appear at this Iron Hall meeting all knew this key point.

Other city-states could not withstand Li Yunzi’s trampling, and the reason Ancestral Dragon City had not fallen under her sole control was precisely because Elder Nan of the Nan Family and a powerful God and Mortal like Nan Lingsha were present.

In terms of strength, Nan Lingsha was not at all inferior to Li Yunzi and might even be slightly stronger.

The only way for Li Yunzi to break Nan Lingsha was to send the Military Guard Army to roll over the Nan Mansion.

For a long time in the past, the Li Family did not allow Li Yunzi to station her troops near Ancestral Dragon City, so naturally there was no talk of Li Yunzi relying on the army to rule the entire city-state.

But now, Li Yunzi had recaptured Wutu, seized the South Nation, and it was heard that Thousand Catalpa City-state from the southeast had secretly submitted to her as well. None of the neighboring cities of Ancestral Dragon

City, including the un-“conquered” Lingxiao City State, were free from threat!

Unable to dissolve the entirety of Ancestral Dragon City from the inside, Li

Yunzi began to work from outside in, trapping the whole city into submission.

It wouldn’t take long for Li Yunzi, commanding the forces of the Female Monarch’s Army, Wutu Land Military Guards, the South Nation Grand Army, and the Thousand Catalpa Alliance Army, to level the entire Nan Mansion to the ground!

Subjugate or die.

Elder Nan, Nan Lingsha, and the whole Nan Family weren’t fools; how could they let such a terrifying event happen?

The Sect Palace and Lingxiao City State were even more panicked.

If Ancestral Dragon City couldn’t hold out, it was only a matter of time before Li Yunzi would wipe out her greatest enemies—Lingxiao City State and the Sect Palace together!

Subjugation was urgent!

“Li Yunzi has incurred the rejection of her kin and her cruelty knows no bounds. Not to hide from everyone here, the matter of Wutu Eternal City was also planned by Elder Fan of Sect Palace and me. You’ve all seen it—without the Eternal City event, she would be even more unstoppable today, and we would not be sitting here as subjugators. Likely, we would either be skeletons or her prisoners of war,” Lady Kong Tong spoke up.

Elder Fan was a middle-aged woman with skin as plump as a young girl’s, yet her hair was graying.

She was silent and observant, quietly watching the changes unfold.

When mentioning this matter, she simply nodded her head.

As the representative of Sect Palace, she had already made it clear that her grudge against Li Yunzi was irreconcilable, which reassured some of those present who were still hesitant.

“Look around, who amongst you is not an influential and powerful person? Despite Li Yunzi’s fiery aggression, have we not all sought to speak kindly with her, even making various concessions? Yet she remains aggressively intolerant, drawing her sword and seizing lives upon the slightest disagreement, and deploying troops against us without hesitation…” Li Ying said with a look of pain on his face.

As Li Yunzi’s father, Li Ying couldn’t comprehend when exactly his daughter became so ruthless and coldhearted, as if possessed by some god demon.

Then look at Nan Lingsha, her sibling sister, no weaker than Li Yunzi herself, yet she strictly abided by her duty and never overstepped her bounds, guarding Ancestral Dragon City.

Although the rulers knew that divine retribution was unknown, when thinking of Li Yunzi’s actions, they believed in the threat of heavenly punishment!

“Family Head Li, why continue to feign such pretense? The Li Imperial Palace has become empty walls, and Du Cheng has already led the Sect Palace masters on a covert mission to assassinate Li Yunzi. Why not tell everyone directly?” Elder Fan of the Sect Palace finally spoke up.

What time was it to still play the role of a father who can’t bear to act?

He is the person in this room who most desires Li Yunzi’s death.

Kong Tong was just a Family Head’s wife.

Li Yunzi had long been on guard against her.

If it weren’t for Li Ying’s involvement, the Eternal City matter would have been much harder to achieve.

Those who dare, must also accept the consequences.

The Li Family was now empty, lacking guards; could it be that Kong Tong, a Family Head, had such authority?

“Write down your names. Today, we become an alliance and can enjoy the benefits I promised earlier. If anyone is still hesitant, please leave on your own volition.” Elder Fan of the Sect Palace finally assumed the role of presiding over this subjugation meeting.

Assassination?

It was already in motion!

The Female Monarch’s Army was drawn away by Lingxiao City.

The guards of the Li Imperial Palace were dispatched by Li Ying.

Elder Nan and Nan Lingsha were the first to write down the Subjugation Letter!

Heavenly fire and will were decreed!

The Sect Palace and valiant heroes took action

Li Yunzi, injured and alone in the courtyard…

Even if her wounds were feigned, her fate was inescapable!!

“Ladies and gentlemen, setting aside the Female Monarch’s brutal actions, she is undoubtedly a prodigy, whom I admire. I have written the order for expulsion — please feel free to add your signatures!” As a representative of the Lingxiao City-State, Yang Xiu penned the document.

There were two places to sign on the Subjugation Letter.

Exile or execution.

There were no other options.

Where one signed merely reflected the degree of enmity towards Li Yunzi.

But in reality, the Sect Palace was carrying out an assassination.

It didn’t matter where one wrote one’s name on the Subjugation Letter; it all meant becoming an enemy of Li Yunzi, vowing a fight to the death!

Yang Xiu finished signing.

Elder Fan of the Sect Palace also wrote down his name.

Li Ying and Kong Tong did the same.

The atmosphere had changed, it was no longer about deliberation…

Or perhaps everyone had long since made up their minds. This conspiracy was merely to bind everyone together to prevent anyone from withdrawing during the campaign or even defecting to Li Yunzi.

“This ink is made from Dragon Blood, and this paper from Dragon Skin. Today we form an alliance for the campaign, regardless of the outcome of the assassination, we must act together and ensure that Li Yunzi does not leave the Ancestral Dragon City-State alive!” Elder Nan stood up, his aged face showing a hint of indifference and determination.

Li Ying also stood up, holding aloft the Subjugation Letter that he had personally written.

The others followed suit, raising up their signatures high!

Instantly, an air of solemn killing intent filled the Iron Hall.

The scent of blood ink was thick, lingering on everyone’s fingertips. Nan Lingsha slowly covered her face with a veil and began walking towards the iron gate, her rose-red gown trailing behind her.

People watched her, for her appearance was so similar to Li Yunzi’s that, had it not been for the fact that many present had seen them together and knew of their animosity, they still might have felt some trepidation.

“Father, didn’t you say that you weren’t involved in what happened at Eternal City?” Suddenly, Nan Lingsha recalled something, turned around, and a mournful smile crept across her cheeks.

Li Ying furrowed his brows.

He did not understand why Nan Lingsha chose this moment to question him on this matter.

“It was indeed your father’s doing that she was thrown into the dungeon, but he knew nothing of what followed, ” said Kong Tong at that moment.

“Oh, so was it Lady Kong Tong who caused her to be humiliated in prison?” Nan Lingsha raised an eyebrow and asked softly.

Kong Tong fell silent.

It was a tacit admission.

“Ambition as high as the heavens, fate as thin as paper.”

“Ladies and gentlemen, you’ve written your own names in the Book of Life and

Death.

Nan Lingsha awaits outside the gate those who may survive from my book.”

The moment Nan Lingsha spoke those words, her usually graceful demeanor turned icy cold. The blood-red rose attire made her icy and jade-like appearance all the more breathtakingly beautiful…

But why did the figure they saw resemble the shadow of Yama, the Judge, sending shivers down their spine?

The dragon skin paper trembled.

The ink characters unexpectedly turned into nooses.

The nooses wound around the fingertips of every person in the Iron Hall, like soul-snatching, venomous serpents creeping towards their very spirits!!

Book of Life and Death.

Soul Snatching Locking Spirit! !!
