boom!

Countless explosions rang out around Lan Linxue, and thick black smoke rose up with flames.

"Lan Linxue!"

Qin Kou'er screamed in anguish, holding Lan Linxue tightly, feeling as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

Screams also rang out from the surrounding area.

After the explosion subsided, Qin Kou'er quickly looked up and glanced at Lan Linxue, who was lying motionless on top of her.

With flames still around, Qin Kou'er didn't hesitate at all. She rolled to the side with Lan Linxue in her arms, then quickly sat up, turned Lan Linxue over, and went to check on him.

Lan Linxue remained motionless, but Qin Kou'er could still discern the paleness on his face through the smoke.

Qin Kou'er was going crazy. Before Lan Linxue could react, she quickly turned her over.

Lan Linxue's back was a blurry mess, the bright red blood glaringly obvious. His legs were even more mangled, with flesh torn and mangled.

Qin Kou'er didn't know exactly where Lan Linxue was injured. She gritted her teeth, reached out and pressed the acupoints on Lan Linxue's body. She had to take him out first before treating him.

"Sect Master! Sect Master!"

Qin Kou'er immediately recognized the anxious voice as belonging to her subordinate, Sha Da.

"I'm here!"

Qin Kou'er called out, and as she did so, she forcefully lifted Lan Linxue onto her body.

Big Fool walked over, feeling his way through the smoke.

In a blur, he saw Qin Kou'er actually lifting someone up with great effort, so he quickly went over and helped Lan Linxue up as well.

"What's the situation outside?" Qin Kou'er quickly asked in a low voice.

"Master, the road ahead is impassable. The forest and the area around Burial Dragon Ridge are full of ambushes, and the closer we get to the city, the more people there are. Also, when we came here, we noticed they had already started clearing the obstacles from the road. They look like the Crown Prince's guards. Some of them have already engaged in combat, so it will probably take some time for our men to get through."

Qin Kou'er frowned and said ominously, "Send the signal right now! Get all the brothers who are positioned around here to come over immediately. They must break through this barrier and rescue all of the Crown Prince's men. Remember, I'm taking the Crown Prince towards Mother and Child Cliff now. Once we get there, you're to lead the men to Mother and Child Cliff. Remember, no matter what happens, don't panic, stay calm. If you can't see me, I'm at the bottom of the cliff. You know how to rescue them, right?"

The simpleton immediately cried out in alarm, "Master, you're going to jump off a cliff? That Mother and Child Cliff is extremely dangerous! You, you can't abandon us! Put it down, the brothers will risk their lives to get you and the Crown Prince out of here! You..."

"Shut up!" Qin Kou'er snapped coldly. "Do as I say! When you see Shuanghua, tell him that the Crown Prince is with me at Mother and Child Cliff. Tell him to take the Crown Prince's guards and go rescue him immediately! Understand?"

Sha Da had never seen Qin Kou'er speak so coldly before, and without thinking too much, he nodded and ran back.

Qin Kou'er glanced down at Lan Linxue, who was still unconscious, gritted her teeth, said nothing, hugged him, and used all her strength to run towards Mother and Child Cliff.

In the smoke, of course, some people were searching for them like falcons.

After seeing Qin Kou'er and Lan Linxue's backs clearly, more than ten people silently followed, while the rest were all tripped up by the big, clumsy man.

What the simpleton didn't know was that the men in black were still swarming towards them in droves.

Qin Kou'er carried Lan Linxue and ran for her life, gritting her teeth. However, the unconscious Lan Linxue was quite heavy, unlike her usual weight.

However, Qin Kou'er had no intention of stopping.

Mother and Child Cliff is not far from here. Although the cliff is not high, it is very steep. Anyone who jumps down and survives is truly blessed by God.

But for Qin Kou'er, this was the best choice.

Only if these people see Lan Linxue jump off the cliff can they give up the pursuit and allow the entire plan to proceed smoothly.

Qin Kou'er looked down at Lan Linxue and suddenly felt a pang of pain in her heart, wanting to cry. Who knew how much suffering he had endured in order to survive?

Judging from the extent of Lan Xiuyuan's actions, Qin Kou'er could tell how difficult Lan Linxue's daily life had been. She became even more determined to help Lan Linxue reach the highest point, and those hypocrites would one day be thrown into the deepest abyss of hell.

Qin Kou'er half-dragged, half-carried Lan Linxue, her hair disheveled and her arms scratched, but she did not loosen her grip on Lan Linxue at all.

Finally, after tumbling and crawling, Lan Linxue slowly opened her eyes.

"pain--"

Lan Linxue let out a soft groan.

Upon hearing that Lan Linxue had made a move, Qin Kou'er finally felt relieved.

"Bear with it, we'll be there soon!"

"Where is this?" Lan Linxue asked, looking around while enduring her grief and the pain in her leg.

We're almost at Mother and Child Cliff!

Seeing that Lan Linxue was awake, Qin Kou'er immediately hoisted her onto her back and ran forward. She had already seen someone rapidly chasing after them.

Why go to Mother and Child Cliff?

At this point, Lan Linxue had no strength left to struggle, so she could only lie on Qin Kou'er's back and let her move forward with difficulty.

"Jump off the cliff!"

Qin Kou'er said through gritted teeth.

Lan Linxue lowered her head and couldn't help but laugh: "We didn't live in harmony, but we're now bound together in death! I didn't expect we'd reach this dead end so quickly!"

"Shut up!"
