Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability Chapter 3154: Snatch Whoever You Can

"I'll report this situation to the Sect Master while you wait here."

There was no alternative; failing to report to the Sect Master would be a dereliction of her duties.

She inwardly lamented, why had all the Elders gone off in pursuit? If even one had remained, she wouldn't have to face the Sect Master directly!

She secretly grumbled. Why did all the unlucky events seem to befall her? Being a disciple of the Saintess Sect was truly not an easy task.

What was this situation? Why were these gathered men so problematic? If only they were as easily appeased as the previous ones, wouldn't that be wonderful?

What she failed to realize was that the men had been easy to appease before because their lives weren't on the line.

Now that their lives and property were under threat, who would willingly be appeased? Those who were would simply be asking for death.

As the female disciple had anticipated, when she informed the Sect Master about yet another group escaping and the resources being depleted, the Sect Master glared at her as if intending to swallow her whole.

Had she not been preoccupied, she would undoubtedly have been a corpse by now.

But what did this matter have to do with her?

In the end, she could only follow the Sect Master's orders and lead the disciples in pursuit, though who could say if they would catch up? Nobody even knew when the second group of men had made their escape.

...

In the desert, several locations became a point of contention between groups of men and the Elders of the Saintess Sect.

It was particularly uncomfortable for the Elders, who had neither food nor drink, yet they dared not make any move. Regardless of the men's inherent usefulness, the children were of paramount importance.

Should they lose the children, they would have to start all over again.

"If you ask me, we should just snatch the people, grab whoever we can."

In one of these locations, two Elders were present; one possessed a more agitated disposition, lacking the patience for a prolonged standoff.

"Don't act rashly. If the children are harmed, it would be an unacceptable outcome," the other Elder cautioned, observing her growing impatience.

"What's unacceptable? At worst, we'll just grab some more children!" The irritable Elder slashed her long sword into the yellow sand a few times, grumbling angrily.

The other Elder: "..."

If any child could simply be grabbed and be useful, why would they have gone through so much trouble to snatch the talented children from the major clans?

It was precisely because those specific children were useful.

"Elder He, we are running out of time," she stated, her brow furrowed.

The major clans should have realized by now that the children were taken by them. Who knew when they might come pursuing, and if they became entangled with the major clans, how could they ever reach the Merciful Continent?

"So, we're just going to remain in a standoff like this?"

Elder He questioned angrily, casting a glance at the men and children not far away. She fiercely desired to strike them down, one by one.

She couldn't comprehend why, with so many female disciples in the Saintess Sect, the Sect Master insisted on bringing so many men, leading to this predicament.

They were engaged in a standoff here, and she believed the situation must be similar in other locations as well.

"Of course not; they won't hold out much longer. We will act when the opportune moment arises," the other Elder replied.

"Ha."

Elder He released a cold laugh.

What 'act when the time is right'? Couldn't she see that it was them who were afraid of accidentally harming their own cause? (literally 'afraid of hitting the rats and alarming the.]:

Those men, with children and food in hand, what did they have to fear? It was they themselves, without any provisions, who should be worried.
