"I'm sorry. It's all my fault for not listening to you and dragging you down." Nangong Yan looked at Lin Yun guiltily and said with a face full of self-blame.
Before the expedition, Lin Yun had already advised her not to follow along. However, in order to witness the destruction of the Northern Yan Kingdom with her own eyes, she did not listen to Lin Yun's advice and insisted on following the expedition. In the end, she ended up as a hostage.
"Stop using your power immediately. Stop using it immediately!" Prime Minister Li threatened Lin Yun again.
Although he knew that Lin Yun would not take the risk to rescue her by force, he still felt uneasy.
This was because the pressure that Lin Yun had brought him was too great.
He could only relax if Lin Yun stopped using that power.
Hearing Prime Minister Li's words, Lin Yun did not hesitate and immediately stopped using the power of the Demon God Core Crystal.
Even if Prime Minister Li did not threaten him, he would have stopped using the power very soon because he could not maintain the second form for long.
Seeing that Lin Yun's body was no longer emitting smoke, Prime Minister Li finally heaved a sigh of relief and relaxed his tense nerves.
Meanwhile, Number Six was a little stunned. He had not expected that using this woman to threaten Lin Yun would be so effective. If he had known earlier, he would have directly grabbed this woman and saved himself the trouble.
"Let her go." Lin Yun said coldly to Prime Minister Li. In fact, he was asking him what conditions would allow him to let go of Nangong Yan.
Prime Minister Li threatened Lin Yun, "I can let her go, but you have to withdraw the allied troops from Royal City first!"
Hearing Prime Minister Li's words, the Country Guarding Emperor and all the generals were shocked and their faces instantly became extremely solemn.
Lin Yun's attack had completely destroyed the enemy's morale. As long as the allied troops continued to attack, they believed that they would be able to completely defeat the enemy in less than 15 minutes.
Seeing that the dawn of victory was right in front of them, if they chose to withdraw now, all their efforts would be in vain.
"We can't withdraw!" Nangong Yan immediately shouted. She also knew the consequences of withdrawing now.
Lin Yun didn't react. He just stood there calmly, thinking about something seriously.
Prime Minister Li knitted his brows and yelled at Lin Yun, "If you don't retreat, I'll kill her!"
"Don't mind me! Kill him quickly, then take over the Northern Yan Kingdom's capital! My life is not important at all! " Nangong Yan shook her head desperately, indicating to Lin Yun not to delay the important matter because of her, showing her unyielding will.
Lin Yun did not answer Nangong Yan's question, nor did he immediately make a decision.
As long as Lin Yun didn't move, Prime Minister Li wouldn't dare to touch Nangong Yan. This was because Nangong Yan was his only life-saving trump card. Once he used her, he would no longer have a life-saving trump card.
"Give her to me!" Number Six turned into a shadow and appeared in front of Prime Minister Li in the blink of an eye. He took the sword from Prime Minister Li's hand and personally held Nangong Yan hostage.
Number Six was much more ruthless than Prime Minister Li. He directly pressed the tip of his sword against Nangong Yan's neck. The tip of the sword cut through her skin and flesh a little, causing a captivating red to flow out along the tip of the sword.
Ignoring Nangong Yan's injury, Number Six directly threatened Lin Yun, "I will give you ten seconds to think about it. If you don't retreat, I will kill her immediately!"
"Don't think that I can't do it. Killing is something I have to do almost every day. It's as normal as eating for you."
Hearing Number Six's threat, Lin Yun finally had a trace of fear in his eyes.
Unlike Prime Minister Li, Number Six would never be so indecisive. If he said he would kill Nangong Yan, then he would really kill her.
This was because in his eyes, Nangong Yan was a bargaining chip to threaten Lin Yun. If this bargaining chip couldn't threaten Lin Yun, then it would lose its meaning of existence. If he didn't kill her, then there was no point in keeping her alive.
"All troops, listen to my order. Retreat!" Lin Yun coldly ordered the allied troops.
"Commander!" Some of the generals who weren't from other kingdoms all had unwilling expressions on their faces.
They were just one step away from success, but at this critical moment, they were naturally unwilling to retreat for the sake of another kingdom's queen.
"I will say it again. Retreat!" Lin Yun's tone suddenly became very firm.
"Didn't you hear me? The commander is asking you to retreat! "The Country Guarding Emperor hurriedly changed direction and began to cooperate with Lin Yun's retreat.
Although the generals of other kingdoms were unwilling, they had no choice but to retreat at this time.
The horn of retreat sounded throughout the entire heaven and earth.
The allied troops that had already captured more than half of Monarch City began to retreat one after another. They gradually retreated like the tide, and soon retreated from the battlefield that was filled with mountains of corpses and seas of blood. Only Lin Yun, the Country Guarding Emperor, and some generals were left.
When the allied troops retreated from Monarch City, Number 7, Number 8, and Number 10 all gathered again. Their injuries were also healed by the top-grade medicinal pills.
Only Number 9's injuries were too serious and couldn't be treated. He died on the spot.
"All the generals retreat for me. Only this kid needs to stay!" Number Six pointed at Lin Yun and said.
The Country Guarding Emperor glanced at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun nodded and said, "All of you retreat. I will save her myself."
"Your Majesty, be careful!" After saying this, the Country Guarding Emperor retreated with the generals, leaving only Lin Yun alone. He was surrounded by the four assassins of the assassination society and the remaining two hundred thousand enemies.
Number Six handed Nangong Yan over to Number Seven, and then began to use his Martial Spirit's ability on Lin Yun.
"Don't move, or else she will die immediately!" Number Six threatened Lin Yun. As he spoke, six square barriers formed around Lin Yun at the same time.
The six barriers surrounded Lin Yun from all directions, and then moved closer to Lin Yun.
Lin Yun stood there expressionlessly, letting the barriers close to him. He didn't move half an inch, letting the six barriers surround him.
The six barriers were pieced together perfectly, forming a geometric cube that surrounded Lin Yun.
However, Number Six was still worried. He immediately took out six talismans with the word "Seal" written on them and pasted them on the surface of the six barriers.
These were six sealing talismans. They could block space and form a spatial barrier that couldn't be passed through, sealing things in a specific space.
Things that were sealed in a specific space, unless they had spatial abilities, couldn't break through the spatial barrier and escape.
The six sealing talismans were immediately activated, forming six chains made of energy. The six chains intertwined and coiled around each other, covering the geometrical cube completely.
When Lin Yun was completely sealed, Number Six revealed an expression, and the other assassins all relaxed.
Number Six wanted to use Nangong Nangong Yan to threaten Lin Yun to reveal his hidden secret. At this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded from the sky.
