73: One lives, one dies!

Nether Immortal watched Nether Left slowly collapse, her eyes devoid of any ripple.

No one knew what she was thinking.

At this moment, Nether Right, thousands of miles away, was intently staring at his brother's Soul Tablet, his right hand quietly clutching the small ball his brother had given him.

Although he was currently in a place free from danger, his constantly trembling hands betrayed his inner fear.

Suddenly, the light from the Soul Tablet rapidly dimmed.

Nether Right's heart went dead silent with it, and an unspeakable fear crawled over his entire body.

The feeling was like that day when he woke up to find his parents had vanished.

But at that time, he still had a brother by his side.

Now, only nothingness and fear surrounded him.

"No, no, no..."

He was unable to form words now, only instinctively repeating "no."

His right hand quietly exerted force, no matter how sad or scared he was.

What he promised his brother, he must accomplish!

Finally, the light of the Soul Tablet dimmed to its extreme, on the verge of shattering.

Nether Right endured the excruciating pain, the silent tearing sensation in his Soul, and with a trembling right hand, he squeezed hard!

The anticipated shattering did not occur; the small ball remained unharmed.

However, Nether Right felt his body rising uncontrollably into the air.

Above the sky, a fissure suddenly opened.

A woman stepped out from it.

She appeared directly above the Netherworld Divine Hall.

This woman wore a black dress and possessed exquisite beauty!

It was Nether Immortal!

She had actually traced Nether Right through his Bloodline Qi in just a few breaths and personally arrived at the Netherworld Divine Hall!

Could the power of a True Immortal be so terrifying?

Nether Kun was Cultivating in a secret chamber when he suddenly sensed an incredibly terrifying aura appear within his domain.

That aura brought him a sense of oppression he had never felt before.

He was greatly alarmed and hastily flew out of the Netherworld Divine Hall to investigate. As soon as he ascended, he saw a woman in a black dress coldly staring at him.

Upon seeing this person, Nether Kun was so frightened his legs trembled, and cold sweat streamed down his face. He immediately knelt and said:

"Nether Kun was unaware of Nether Immortal's arrival and failed to welcome her from afar. I beg your forgiveness, my lady!"

Nether Immortal said indifferently:

"Nether Kun, for withholding information, there is no path to rebirth for you, whether in heaven or on earth."

Upon hearing that voice, Nether Kun's liver and guts instantly split!

Who leaked the news?! When Ming Shi transmitted the message, he said he would only tell me!

Just in case, I had already kept an eye on everyone in the Netherworld Divine Hall!

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: Nether Left! The Dao of Puppets!!

He understood.

A monstrous surge of resentment abruptly rose in his heart!

But before he could resent or activate the Life-Death Seal, he was directly Soul-searched by an supreme Magic Power!

"Ah ah ah ah ah!" Waves of mournful screams emanated from Nether Kun's mouth, echoing throughout the entire Netherworld Divine Hall.

The Soul search lasted for a full hour.

Nether Kun finally couldn't bear it and his Soul went Flying Away and Spirit Scattering.

Nether Immortal's delicate brows furrowed slightly. As expected, she only obtained partial information and didn't even know the person's name!

Nether Immortal calmly suppressed her disappointment and casually swiped her hand towards the Netherworld Divine Hall.

All the Nether Cultivators, including the wandering spirits, within the entire Netherworld Divine Hall were annihilated!

No one was left alive, except for Nether Right.

Nether Right watched from the side, numb. Such a large Netherworld Divine Hall, just gone?

A few breaths later, in front of the Nether Immortal Hall, the patrolling Nether Cultivators saw Nether Immortal's arrival and were about to kneel and pay respects.

Nether Immortal didn't even glance at them.

With a wave of her hand, they were all annihilated! No sound was emitted.

At this point, only Nether Left and Nether Right knew this information.

Having done all this, Nether Immortal then returned to the hall.

Nether Immortal returned to her seat, with the two brothers, Nether Left and Nether Right, kneeling below.

Nether Left's condition had fully recovered; Nether Immortal had helped him.

"Alright, you can speak now, right? Everyone who could threaten you is dead."

Nether Right naturally dared not speak and kept glancing towards Nether Left.

Nether Left also no longer hesitated. He was already very satisfied with the current situation.

Everyone else was dead, and only the two brothers were alive.

He dared not continue to threaten the woman before him.

So, Nether Left recounted the entire incident from beginning to end to Nether Immortal.

Nether Immortal was exceptionally shocked after listening.

This item was actually in the Living Realm! How could this be?!

Which living being could find this Magic Treasure from the Netherworld?

Especially when she heard that the other party only had Mahayana Cultivation now, she found it utterly absurd!

Could such a Magic Treasure be possessed by a Mahayana Cultivator?

Although she could naturally confirm that Nether Left was not lying.

However, this matter had exceeded her understanding.

Mahayana? Able to activate the Soul Summoning Banner? That's an Imperial Rank supreme Magic Treasure! Do you really think it's like a common cabbage? A Mahayana Cultivator can play with it?

Even an Immortal would find it difficult to control!

However, since Nether Kun believed it deeply and even chose to hide it from her, it should not be false.

Suppressing the shock in her heart, Nether Immortal looked at the two brothers, Nether Left and Nether Right.

There was an inexplicable smile in her eyes. A clear voice rang out:

"I never lie. I said I would give you a chance, and I will give you a chance."

"You are blood brothers. Although you provided me with information and rendered great service, your brother dared to threaten me, which is a capital offense!"

"Therefore, between the two of you, one lives and one dies!"

As soon as Nether Immortal finished speaking, Nether Left eagerly said:

"Nether Immortal, I am willing to..."

Before the word 'die' could leave his lips, he heard a ' Squeak' sound from beside him.

A sharp sword had pierced Nether Right's heart!

"No!!!"

Nether Left screamed madly and lunged towards Nether Right. At this moment, Nether Immortal no longer existed in his eyes.

In his eyes, there was only his younger brother, his dear brother with whom he had depended on each other!

Nether Left quickly mobilized his Cultivation to heal him.

The vitality of a Mahayana Cultivator was still relatively tenacious; one could survive a pierced heart.

Nether Left screamed frantically:

"Don't move! You won't die, how could you be so foolish! Everything I did was for you to live!!!"

Nether Right's reaction was entirely within Nether Left's expectations, so when the sword pierced his heart, he also shattered all his Meridians and burned all his vital essence.

Now, he was certainly doomed to die!

Nether Right lay in his brother's arms, weakly saying:

"Brother, don't waste your effort. My Meridians are completely severed, and my vital essence is completely burned. It's useless."

"My talent is too poor. You are the true favored son of heaven. Now that you have the opportunity to serve under Nether Immortal, you will definitely go higher and further..."

"I am just a mischievous child. All along, you have been shielding me from the wind and rain. Now, let me bear it for you, brother..."

"Cough cough, brother, in my next life, I still want to be your brother..."

Nether Right fell into a coma, his life hanging by a thread.

Nether Left was so grief-stricken that his mouth hung open. He wanted to say something but found himself unable to make a sound.

At this moment, he seemed to have become mute.

It turned out that when a person was in extreme sorrow, they could not make any sound.

He looked up, mouth agape, staring at Nether Immortal with eyes full of despair, near madness, and utter collapse.

Nether Immortal was also looking at him.

Her thoughts, however, began to drift.

She remembered her childhood and her brother.

They, too, had depended on each other since they were young.

Later, when they grew up, they also fell into a dangerous situation and were pursued by a group of people.

But her brother did not protect her with his life like Nether Left did.

Nor did she actively sacrifice herself like Nether Right.

Her brother actually conspired to make her face the enemies' pursuit alone, while he ran off by himself!

Unwilling to be captured, she could only choose to enter the Abyssal Barrier, one of the three great forbidden zones of the Netherworld!

From ancient times until now, no one who entered had ever come out, but she did.

No one knew what she endured in the forbidden zone; others only saw that she successfully obtained the Legacy of the forbidden zone.

And from then on, she soared, slaying countless people who blocked her path, finally achieving Immortal Ascension in this realm!
