Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability Chapter 3138: Guilty of Heinous Crimes
Previously on Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability...
An Yixing let out a soft sigh. His gaze carefully swept over the captured children, some appearing even younger than Little Nuonuo. It was heartbreaking to see them in such a state.
Unfamiliar with their surroundings and facing unjust treatment, their only recourse was tears. These children had already been on the move for two days straight.
They were merely youngsters, much like Little Nuonuo. The thought of him walking the entire distance himself was unbearable. At times, Min Yi would carry him, and other times, the eldest brother and the others would take turns.
"I was just contemplating how we'll manage to bring back so many children after we deal with the people from the Saintess Sect," An Yixing voiced his concern.
While he didn't anticipate annihilating the entire Saintess Sect immediately, these abducted children absolutely needed to be returned safely.
The situation was truly a headache. If these children were as manageable as their own group, venturing out for training would be a simple affair. It was a pity that their current state involved incessant crying, making them hardly easy to handle.
"Don't trouble yourself with that; Uncle Qiushi will be bringing the major clansmen over," Min Yi reassured him.
Even if the major clans harbored reservations about the Saintess Sect, they would never abandon their own promising young talents, particularly those identified as the most gifted.
Consequently, their arrival would be swift and without hesitation.
Their immediate task was to maintain a vigilant watch over the Saintess Sect's group, ensuring they remained within their sight at all times.
This endeavor was quite demanding, especially considering they were traversing a desert with scarce hiding spots. More often than not, their movements were in plain view. Fortunately, the Saintess Sect's group was solely focused on their journey, not even glancing back to check if they were being followed.
"Now that we've entered the desert, can they still track us?" Little Nuonuo inquired.
The desert was notoriously easy to get lost in, and any trail markers could be swiftly buried by the shifting sands, rendering tracking nearly impossible.
"If they can't even manage this, then they wouldn't be worthy of the title 'major clans.' Surely, some individuals within those clans must know the location of the Merciful Continent's entrance, right?" Qian Yizheng asked, raising a hand to gently rub Little Nuonuo's head.
"All of you get some rest tonight. Little Rong and I will take the first watch."
"Alright."
Upon hearing this, the others, having finished their meal, promptly retired to sleep.
They had to shadow the Saintess Sect's team during the day and maintain a watch through the night, making sufficient rest a necessity. With no other pressing matters, they succumbed to sleep.
...
Meanwhile, at the desert's edge, within a small town.
Qing Qiushi had already arrived with a considerable contingent of people at the town bordering the desert. Preparations were underway as everyone began procuring substantial quantities of water and food for their desert expedition.
"The members of the Saintess Sect deserve to die. This time, we absolutely cannot let them escape again."
The assembled clan heads voiced their outrage against the Saintess Sect's disciples, their curses echoing as they awaited the return of their subordinates who were busy purchasing supplies.
These individuals from the Saintess Sect seemed to exist solely to inflict hardship upon the Seasonal Moon Plane. They had previously sealed two vital passages, and now they were attempting to do so again.
It was as if they truly considered the Seasonal Moon Plane to be the exclusive dominion of the Saintess Sect.
"Qing Family Head, are you absolutely certain the Saintess Sect members have entered the desert?" one clan head questioned Qing Qiushi, a hint of doubt in his voice.
Could it be that the Qing Family Head had been misled by inaccurate information? Was the entrance to the Merciful Continent truly so easily breached? If it were, why had no one succeeded in doing so over all these years?
"I am certain. Wasn't this already common knowledge? The signs have consistently pointed in this direction, and my intelligence further corroborates that a significant number of Saintess Sect disciples are heading towards the Merciful Continent's entrance."
