Chapter 3146: Chapter 3146: Wouldn’t That All Go Up in Flames?
Qian Yizheng and the others didn’t waste words; everyone lay down. The Stone People concealed them well, and instantly, the small sand dune showed no trace of anyone, just sand.
Meanwhile, the commotion on the other side was about to end. Nearly a thousand men, each pair grabbing a child, ran off in the direction they came from.
The children dared not cry at this moment. As they were carried away, they wished their uncles could go even faster.
Even though it was unfamiliar, they understood some things. They knew they were captured by the Saintess Sect’s female disciples to die, so they’d rather take a chance with these uncles than go to their deaths.
“Uncle, over there, run that way.”
A few people who ran astray out of panic could still be guided back to the right path by the children’s directions, following the group as they ran.
The disciples of the Saintess Sect didn’t react in time. After the rush of people disappeared from view, it took them a good while to respond and decide to give chase.
“You guys hurry up and inform the Sect Master and Elder; we’ll go after them!”
While giving chase, they didn’t forget to send someone to notify the Sect Master and Elder. These people were truly hateful, daring to run and fight them.
Once they brought the people back, they’d make sure those individuals would be the first batch sent to die!
Those female disciples ordered to inform the Elder stomped their feet on the spot, wishing they could eat up those escaping men.
It must have been deliberate, right? Running neither early nor late, waiting until the Elders entered the Little Forest to run, wasn’t it just because no one outside could stop them once the Elders went in?
“Despicable, too despicable.”
Despite continuously cursing, they still had to quickly find the Elders.
Even if they were cursed or punished, there was no helping it. Why hadn’t the command center detected those men’s escape sooner?
Actually, even if these people ran, they could make up for it with some cultivation level among their own. But those people took away more than half of the children!
Wouldn’t that be disastrous? Without the children, how were they supposed to open the forbidden seal?
Although they didn’t know exactly how to open the forbidden seal, they knew it required the lives of those children.
Though it’s a pity those children would die, it was for their Saintess Sect. If they died, they died, and being able to sacrifice for the Saintess Sect was truly their honor. That bit of compassion meant nothing in the face of personal interests.
…
“Escaped, how could they escape? What are you here for?!”
The Elders had just passed through the woods, hadn’t even taken a bite of something warm, when the disciples reported that many men had fled. Moreover, those people took the children.
This was unacceptable; those children were of great importance. Without them, everything would be in vain.
Now, they had already offended all the major clans of Yin City thoroughly. If the children escaped, they couldn’t enter Merciful Continent, and they wouldn’t have a place to stand.
Bringing so many disciples to enter Merciful Continent was already very risky, relying solely on the children’s blood to keep the passage open and not sealed again.
They were worried inside Merciful Continent, only these Elders and core disciples could not secure a foothold, hence this plan.
Now that the children had been taken away, wouldn’t their previous plans go up in smoke?
