These people fled in a sorry state. How could human legs possibly outrun a dragon's wings?
However, Lin Yan did not intend to keep them all. She needed someone to return and report to the Holy See and the Empire.
This way, the Holy See would not send people to bother her again and again. Then she would only need to wait for the final decisive battle.
But as for that Saintess Your Grace, she wouldn't escape so easily.
It's just that this Saintess Your Grace didn't seem to have very good connections. Those people completely disregarded her, so soon this injured Saintess Your Grace was directly abandoned by them.
Lin Yan had Morris land. She jumped off Morris's back and walked to the front of the Holy Maiden of Light. Morris also transformed into human form and stood behind Lin Yan.
"Are you very pleased?" the Holy Maiden of Light looked up at Lin Yan, her face showing a stubborn refusal to yield to power.
Lin Yan found it ridiculous. "I don't feel pleased. My ability to defeat you is due to my own strength. If you were stronger today, then I would be the prisoner.
Perhaps even worse, you've always wanted my life, haven't you? If I truly fell into your hands, you would probably kill me directly. After all, you're terrified of me returning to the Holy See!"
Lin Yan looked down at the Holy Maiden of Light, who was half-lying on the ground.
"But I have a softer heart than you. I won't take your life. After I take the royal city, I will reunite your family of three and give my father entirely to you, making him your father alone. What do you think, are you grateful to me?"
"Of course, I am very grateful to you!" The Holy Maiden of Light directly took out a dagger from her spatial ring, and the hand holding the dagger stabbed towards Lin Yan, who was so close to her.
"If you die, I'll be even more grateful to you!"
Lin Yan had long expected that she wouldn't surrender so easily, but she didn't react at all, letting her dagger stab towards her neck.
The dagger gleamed with a cold light, looking very sharp. However, this sharp dagger could not stab any further than a few inches from Lin Yan's neck.
Although Morris saw her actions, he had great confidence in the gown he had prepared for Lin Yan, and even more confidence in Lin Yan's strength.
Seeing that Lin Yan did not dodge, he panicked for a moment, but he still did not rush forward, only looking at Lin Yan with a hint of worry in his eyes.
He stared intently at the dagger, ready to kill that woman at any moment. However, Lin Yan had instructed him beforehand not to kill her, so he could only watch like this.
"Do you see the gap between you and me?" Lin Yan didn't care about the dagger at her neck.
She tilted her head slightly, then tapped her wrist with a finger, and the dagger fell.
The next moment, the Holy Maiden of Light's vision went black, and she directly lost consciousness.
Seeing the unresigned and resentful look on her face before she fainted, Lin Yan directly removed the spatial ring from her hand and picked up the dagger.
The blade of the dagger glowed with an ominous blue light. It seemed to be poisoned. She truly hated herself.
"Are you really not going to kill her?" Morris was a little worried. He always felt that this Holy Maiden of Light would not be reconciled. With such a person existing, he was very concerned about Lin Yan's safety.
"Not for now. Killing her now would be too easy for her."
The most important thing was that she was the protagonist of this world, the cornerstone of the world, and the plot had not completely changed yet. Lin Yan didn't know if killing her would cause problems in this world.
If killing her caused problems in this world, then all her previous efforts would have been in vain.
