Chapter 271: Don’t die in vain

The threat from the Demon Lord made Tao Yanyan frown.

She was secretly thinking about the current situation. If a fight really broke out, the other side was strong and ruthless, and would not let the children and Qingfeng and the others go. Her chances of winning were slim.

Moreover, all of them are innocent, and they must not be allowed to die in vain, especially the two young children, who must not make any mistakes. Thinking of this, Tao Yanyan took a deep breath, calmed himself, stepped forward and said to the Demon Lord: "Are you serious? As long as I am willing to go with you, will you really let the others go?"

"Empress, we can't agree to him!" Everyone shouted in panic, trying to dissuade Tao Yanyan from believing the Demon Lord's words.

Yin Jiu rushed forward and stopped her loudly, "Your Majesty, you must not trust him! Once you fall into the hands of the Demon Cult, it will be difficult for you to come back!" Qingfeng and others also grabbed Tao Yanyan to prevent her from taking risks.

However, Tao Yanyan's face darkened and he shouted sternly, "Am I the master, or are you? How can you interfere with my decision?"

She looked at Yin Jiu firmly, her eyes revealing an irresistible majesty: "Now I strictly order you to lead everyone down the mountain quickly and meet up with His Majesty as soon as possible. There must be no mistakes!"

After saying that, she took out the imperial gold medal given to her by He Linzhang. This was the first time she had used the gold medal since she got it. She didn't expect to use it in this place.

"Seeing this gold medal is like seeing His Majesty in person. Yin Jiu, take everyone away immediately!"

"Empress!" Everyone knew that it was Concubine Tao who saved everyone at the cost of herself. If such a good Concubine was taken away by the evil cult, and her blood was used as medicine, how could anyone bear it!

Little Jinan hugged Tao Yanyan's thighs and cried, "Mother, I won't leave you. Wherever you go, I'll go."

Xuan'er pursed her lips, hugged her nanny and cried heart-wrenchingly.

Tao Yanyan gave Mingyue a look. Although Mingyue didn't talk much, in most cases, she was the most rational and decisive among the maids.

Mingyue bit her lip and wanted to shake her head, but Tao Yanyan stopped her with a look. She had no choice but to pick up the crying and struggling little Jinan and step back.

"What? You guys don't listen to me either? I told you to go, go now!" Tao Yanyan pushed Yin Jiu and said, "Jin'an is your only master, go and protect him and bring him to His Majesty!"

One shadow guard stayed behind to stand guard over Tao Yanyan, while the others retreated down the mountain one after another.

Tao Yanyan looked at the shadow guard beside him and said, "You go too."

"Your Majesty!" The shadow guard held the sword and was unwilling to leave.

"Why are you staying here to die? Go quickly and tell His Majesty that if you can save me, you will save me. If you can't, don't save me. Just raise the child well." Tao Yanyan thought that since he was a blood bag, his life should not be in danger in the short term. After all, if a person died, his blood would be useless.

In order to cure his illness, the Demon Lord will certainly not kill himself easily. The only thing he can do now is to surrender.

As soon as he finished speaking, a familiar voice rang out: "Of course I will save you!"

He Linzhang came with a group of people, and he was covered in blood. It was obvious that he had just experienced a fierce battle and was seriously injured. But he didn't care about his own injuries and flew to Tao Yanyan's side.

Finally, they were not late, and He Linzhang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. God knows how anxious and frightened he was when he met Yin Jiu and others on the road just now and heard that Tao Yanyan was going to be captured by the demon sect to use his blood as medicine.

Finally seeing a living person again, he held her hand tightly and pulled her behind him.

The Demon Lord glanced at the Dharma Protector beside him with displeasure and said, "Every time I ask you to arrange people, you make arrangements that do not satisfy me." His tone was angry, and he was obviously extremely dissatisfied with the fact that the Dharma Protector failed to successfully stop the Emperor of Great Zhou this time.

The guardian was also full of astonishment. He obviously did not expect that his carefully arranged defense line and many subordinates could not stop the emperor. The emperor was able to fight against the majority and successfully fight his way forward. His strength should not be underestimated.

The guardian clenched the sword in his hand and said tremblingly: "I deserve to die, please punish me, my lord... What about now?" He had already missed the best opportunity to kidnap the person, and he wondered what the lord would do next?

At this moment, He Linzhang stared at the uninvited guest in front of him, his eyes flashing with rage: "You dare to touch my people? I will not give up unless you pay a painful price today!" His words were loud and clear, revealing an unshakable imperial majesty.

At a gesture from He Linzhang, all the shadow guards and imperial guards rushed forward and fought with the members of the Demon Cult.

He Linzhang fought back while pulling Tao Yanyan back to a safe area.

The Demon Lord was unusually calm. He only raised his hand to deal with people who were close to him, relying entirely on his internal strength to force people back.

However, he was ill and could not fight for long. Feeling that he was running out of strength, he used his trump card - teleportation. Before everyone could react, he had already dodged a few times, broke through the encirclement of many shadow guards, and came in front of He Linzhang.

He Linzhang was shocked by this man's high martial arts skills. Even the most powerful shadow guard would not be able to break this kind of teleportation skill!

He could only protect Tao Yanyan behind him and fight hard.

"Oh, no one in this world can escape from my teleportation technique." The Demon Lord was so proud of himself that he slapped He Linzhang with his palm, forcing He Linzhang back several steps and spitting out blood.

"Your Majesty!" With a cry of surprise, Tao Yanyan rushed forward like a gust of wind, holding tightly to the staggering He Linzhang with both hands.

"Your Majesty, how are you?" Tao Yanyan asked in a trembling voice. Even though she was angry and annoyed with him, she couldn't just watch him die.

At this moment, her heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and she was afraid that He Linzhang would not be able to hold on and fall down.

He Linzhang endured the severe pain in his body and gritted his teeth and said, "I'm fine...you go quickly...someone, take her away!" After that, he used up his last bit of strength and pushed Tao Yanyan towards a shadow guard beside him.

After receiving the order, the shadow guard immediately tried to take Concubine Tao away by force, but Tao Yanyan was not willing to leave easily. She stared at He Linzhang, tears rolling down her eyes uncontrollably.

Suddenly, Tao Yanyan did a surprising move - without hesitation, she reached out and pulled out the hairpin on her head, and placed it on her snow-white neck.

"Stop! Demon Lord, if you dare to hurt him again, I will commit suicide here immediately!" Tao Yanyan roared at the top of her lungs. Her voice echoed on the empty mountain top with determination and firmness.
