Chapter 3152: Chapter 3152: Absolutely Cannot Lose Them
There are only two Elders here, and all the other Disciples are virtually useless.
“If it’s just about collecting food and water, let the Disciples handle it.” The young Elder glanced at the Disciples beside her and said.
The Disciple understood, immediately stepping out with a few other Disciples.
“I am willing to lead the junior sisters to gather the food.” As the senior sister, she felt it was her responsibility, even though there was no other option.
But in fact, she felt that wasting time over food with the people opposite them was pointless and introduced too many uncertainties.
They had to remember that among the children they captured, many were Noble Clan Young Masters. If members of those clans came after them, they wouldn’t be able to escape!
She earnestly wished the Sect Master could quickly open the passage to the Merciful Continent.
But she knew all too clearly that without these children, the Sect Master wouldn’t be able to open the passage to the Merciful Continent. It was a deadlock.
…
In the Little Forest, the Holy Maiden Sect Master stood before a grand array, sustaining it with her Original Soul energy.
When she heard the Disciples hurriedly reporting that the men they gathered had taken most of the children, she flew into a fury.
She wanted to personally chase them down, capture those daring men who fled, and use the array to kill them all.
But she couldn’t move right now, with no way to leave even a single inch. She couldn’t even stomp her feet, only continuing to channel her Original Soul energy.
“What are you all doing? So many people, and yet you can’t keep watch over a few vile, lowly men?!” she cursed.
The female Disciple hung her head, not daring to say a word.
She actually wanted to say that she didn’t arrive with those men. She came with the first group led by the Sect Master. But saying it would be a death sentence for herself.
Besides, were they just a few men?
According to the news from outside, there was a large group fleeing, at least a thousand people.
And they took away so many children.
“What are you standing there for? Go and chase them with the Disciples!” The Sect Master, seeing the female Disciple standing there like a fool, head still lowered, grew even angrier.
“Yes, I will go immediately.”
The female Disciple did not want to stay there getting scolded repeatedly by the Sect Master and was just looking for an excuse to leave.
Just as well, the Sect Master sent her to find people, so she was happy to go.
But she had barely turned around, not even taking a step, when her own Sect Master called her back.
“Wait, come back here to me.”
The Holy Maiden Sect Master finally regained some composure and called back the female Disciple.
Presumably, the Elders had already set off in pursuit, and there was no need for these Disciples of lesser cultivation level. The most crucial thing now was ensuring those other men couldn’t escape again.
“Go outside and ensure none of the men who didn’t escape leave, not one is to be let go. And the second batch of resources, bring it all into the forest.”
Even if they recaptured everyone, they’d need to spend considerable time here, at least six or seven days required.
And the resources they brought in the first batch were clearly insufficient. In the coming days, they must rely on the second batch of resources, so resources and those children are equally important and can’t be lost.
“Yes, Sect Master.”
The female Disciple breathed a sigh of relief.
Not needing to chase after people and not having to stay next to the Sect Master getting berated was quite a relief.
