Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability Chapter 3158: The Loss of Original Soul Energy

"I was merely inquiring casually, there’s no need to take it to heart," he stated.

"The poison has already taken hold; they ought to have realized it by now," Qian Yizheng remarked.

"Is it possible for them to neutralize the poison?" Min Yi inquired.

"Utterly impossible. My mother personally refined these poisonous pellets. Should they manage to neutralize them, they would indeed be quite remarkable," Little Nuonuo proclaimed, proudly thumping his chest as a testament to his confidence.

These are medicinal pellets that my mother provided us with to ward off any potential danger. They are her latest creation, and no one else possesses the ability to refine them, not even a pill formula exists for them.

"Then we shall simply wait. How much longer do we have?" Min Yi asked once more.

"Approximately another half day."

Little Nuonuo mused on the matter. When it comes to the art of poison, he had learned from his mother since his childhood days, making him the most adept.

This very poison was one that his mother had utilized previously. It is anticipated that within another half day, even if those individuals do not collapse, they will be completely devoid of the strength to resist, rendering them as pliant as ripe melons awaiting the blade.

"Then, we shall wait."

Min Yi calculated that in roughly another half day, his Uncle Qiushi and his contingent should be arriving imminently.

Naturally, should they encounter any escapees, the rescue efforts might introduce a slight delay, but that would be acceptable. The individuals here are struggling with scarce resources and have had their Original Soul energy depleted; they are incapable of fleeing any significant distance.

...

Within the Little Forest, the Sect Master of the Saintess Sect was also experiencing a noticeable decline in her Original Soul energy.

However, she paid it little mind, attributing the depletion to the strains of the array formation and believing she should hasten to bring the remaining able-bodied men inside.

With the Original Soul energy of those men bolstering it, the array formation would undoubtedly become even more formidable.

At this precise juncture, a female disciple entered, and upon observing her, the Sect Master deemed the timing opportune. "You must leave immediately and escort all those men inside," she commanded the disciple.

The female disciple heard the directive and her countenance turned ashen.

Her own Original Soul energy was now draining at an accelerated pace. She secretly harbored the suspicion that if she lost any more, she would be rendered utterly helpless and at the mercy of others.

At this critical juncture, who would concern themselves with those men? Even if they arrived, this array formation likely could not be sustained. Furthermore, considering they were poisoned and their Original Soul energy was already compromised, could those men truly be an exception?

While she remained unaware of the culprit behind the poisoning, she was certain it was not among their own ranks of men.

If those men had harbored any intention of acting against them, they would have done so much earlier, not chosen this moment. It was surely the work of someone who had stealthily infiltrated the desert while their guard was down.

"Hurry and bring the men inside! Why are you standing there in a daze?" The Sect Master’s voice cracked with impatience as she addressed the female disciple.

She could distinctly feel her Original Soul energy rapidly dissipating. If those men were not brought inside promptly, the array would falter; should the array fail, all her efforts would be rendered utterly in vain.

"Sect Master, your disciple has made a discovery. I came to report it to you," the female disciple stated, looking up at her superior.

"What is it?"

The Sect Master nearly lost her temper, wondering what could possibly be urgent enough to warrant interruption at this critical moment.

However, observing the profoundly distressed expression on the female disciple's face, she managed to suppress her outburst and decided to hear the disciple's report.

"Sect Master, your disciple discovered that all the sisters on gate duty have been poisoned. Our Original Soul energy continues to be drained," the female disciple revealed, biting her lip as she met the Sect Master’s gaze.

"What?"

The Sect Master was utterly taken aback.

Earlier, she had not paid close attention to her own Original Soul energy depletion, mistakenly believing it was solely due to the array formation’s demands.
