Chapter 67 You Go First
Lu Jinyan was actually feeling very uncomfortable and weak. Although she had drunk some of Ruohan's blood, which lessened the pain a little, she was still in great pain.
All she wanted to do was get out of there as soon as possible, find a warm and comfortable bed, and get a good night's sleep. So even though she felt terrible all over, she persevered.
Those who had been given the antidote all said they would obey Lu Jinyan's orders, since without her, they would probably have been sold off and become someone else's playthings.
Lu Jinyan had those without cultivation stand in the middle, followed by those with low cultivation, and then those with high cultivation on the outside. The group formed a circle, protecting those without cultivation in the middle, and each person held a weapon.
Although Ruohan was somewhat weak, his demonic power had recovered, so he naturally wanted to help. He walked to a corner, wrapped Xiaoyue's remains in his outer garment, carried them on his back, and then followed Lu Jinyan and the others, slowly walking towards the cave entrance.
Outside the cave entrance, there were twenty guards, all with cultivation levels around thirty or forty. Yuan Yi and his group could easily handle this level of cultivation. However, the problem was that these guards all carried magical artifacts that could suppress the demonic power of others.
In addition, they outnumbered each other, so breaking through would be difficult. However, if they didn't break through, they would all die. Rather than being sold into being someone else's playthings, they might as well take a gamble.
Everyone thought the same thing. The group cautiously made their way to the cave entrance. At Lu Jinyan's command, everyone rushed out, with Yuan Yi leading the way and the remaining few with higher cultivation levels following closely behind.
Lu Jinyan took the opportunity to lead the remaining people without demonic power out of the cave and find a safe place to hide. Those people all had magical artifacts that suppressed demonic power, so Yuan Yi and the others didn't actually have much demonic power to use.
Seeing that Yuan Yi and the others were struggling, Lu Jinyan was also very flustered. With her limited cultivation, she definitely couldn't go out to help, so she exchanged a few hidden arrows from the system and gave them to the remaining people who didn't know martial arts.
The group hid behind a large rock and, following Lu Jinyan's instructions, aimed at the guards and fired hidden arrows. Since none of them had ever used hidden arrows before, their aim was not very good, so the effect was not very good.
Lu Jinyan knew in her heart that they couldn't really help much, but she couldn't just sit and wait for death, so she still had to give it a try. She repeatedly told them to be careful and not to shoot the wrong target.
After a stick of incense had burned, three or four guards were dead and two or three were injured, while the women's side suffered many injuries. Because they could not take their lives directly, the guards did not kill them outright, but only injured them so that they could not move.
Lu Jinyan looked at the main force, which originally had eleven people, but now only seven remained. Those with lower cultivation levels were basically all lying down. She was extremely anxious. Calculating the time, the Wang family should be arriving soon.
Why haven't the people the system mentioned arrived yet? She doesn't know how much longer she can hold out. She can escape herself and also escape with Chu Chu and the others, but what about the rest of them?
If she were caught and taken back, her fate would be dire. She couldn't let all her efforts go to waste, so she could only silently pray that those who were there to help would arrive soon!
Another incense stick's time passed, and the main force was reduced to only four people: Yuan Yi, Ruohan, Liu Xu, and Liu Qing. Meanwhile, the guards still had twelve people left, and the scene that Lu Jinyan least wanted to see finally arrived.
Qionghua arrived with Wang Ye and Wang Lin, followed by more than a dozen strong men. Seeing this, Yuan Yi and the others did not dare to fight head-on and could only slowly retreat to Lu Jinyan and the others.
"You little bitches, you're quite capable, you actually destroyed the talisman and the formation!" Qionghua wasn't stupid. Before Lu Jinyan and the others arrived, her family had been in the human trafficking business for so long without ever having any problems.
Of all things that happened today, it was their arrival that led to this incident. It's obvious without even thinking that she was the one who did it!
"Mother, my medicine!" Wang Lin's expression changed as he looked at Ruohan not far away.
It was only then that Qionghua noticed Ruohan. She was shocked. These people were dead, but Ruohan could not die. All these years, it was thanks to Ruohan that her son had recovered to his current state. If Ruohan were gone, her Lin'er would be ruined.
"Men, arrest all of these people and take them back. If anyone resists, kill them on the spot! Take him back too, but don't kill him!" Qionghua ordered the men behind her to act quickly, her face dark.
The talisman is destroyed, the formation is destroyed. If she doesn't hurry, this place will be discovered soon, and then everything will be over.
"Miss, you take the second young lady and leave first. Leave this to us. Go quickly!" Yuan Yi stood in front of Lu Jinyan, ready to risk his life to buy her some time and create a way out for her.
"Miss Lu, you go first!" Ruohan firmly stood in front of Lu Jinyan and the others. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't have had the chance to leave this cave. He would protect her even if it meant his death. If it came to the end, he would risk his life!
"What nonsense are you talking about? We're all in this together. We'll live together and die together. How could I possibly abandon you and run away!"
Lu Jinyan, leaning on the stone, said weakly, though she secretly wished she could run away immediately. Who wants to die? She didn't want to; she hadn't yet given all the handsome men in the world a home, she couldn't die!
However, she couldn't run away at this moment. First, Ruohan was her target, and if he died, her mission would fail. Second, Yuan Yi and the others were her contracted demon slaves, and the system had said that she couldn't find any more loyal demon slaves than them.
She would be heartbroken if they were gone. And the most important thing is that she herself chose to come here. In a sense, she brought them into danger. Since she brought them, she is naturally responsible for getting them out of there.
Otherwise, she would become an indirect murderer, and she couldn't bear such a heavy crime; her conscience would be uneasy!
"Miss, now is not the time to be stubborn. It's too dangerous here. The enemy has too many people, and our demonic power is being suppressed. We have no chance of winning. There's no point in you and the Second Miss staying here. You should run!"
Liu Xu also stood in front of Lu Jinyan, with Liu Qing beside her. Although she didn't say anything, she stood firmly in front of Chu Chu. Lu Jinyan was moved by this and thought to herself that if there was really no other way, she would have to forcibly bring them into the space. As for the price or anything else, she didn't care about that.
