Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability Chapter 3159: No Trace to Be Found
Previously on Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability...
However, upon hearing the disciple's words, she was suddenly reminded. If the array formation alone was the cause, how could it be diminishing so rapidly? The Original Soul energy within her was being depleted at an alarming rate, and soon it would be completely exhausted.
At this very moment, a deep sense of anxiety gripped her. If the female disciple's suspicion was correct, it meant they had been tracked to this location.
"Assemble all disciples proficient in detoxification immediately to craft an antidote," she commanded.
"Sect Master, the medicinal ingredients are all secured by the Elders. They have also departed to pursue the individuals who escaped. As for the disciples stationed here..." The female disciple found herself in a predicament.
"Break the locks; in times like these, what good are rules? Proceed at once!" the Sect Master decreed.
"Yes, Sect Master, I will depart immediately," the female disciple replied, turning to leave without delay.
Regarding the objective of finding a male cultivator to replenish the Original Soul energy missing from the array formation, it was an impossibility. Their own Original Soul energy reserves were nearly depleted, and the same applied to the male cultivators.
After the female disciple departed, the Sect Master paused for a moment before withdrawing some of her own Original Soul energy from the array formation.
There was no alternative. This action was a measure to preserve herself. If she continued to sustain the array formation, she would undoubtedly perish here. Moreover, even if she were to die, the passage could not be reopened.
When the poisoning incident occurred, she recognized that their plan had been discovered.
Furthermore, the subsequent string of incidents that followed the arrival of the second group of disciples clearly indicated they had been tracked. If she did not retreat now, she would be perpetually ensnared here.
"Sss, hoo!"
After drawing a deep breath, she slowly exhaled.
Having been subjected to poison and with their location compromised, it was only a matter of time before cultivators from the major clans arrived. This sanctuary could no longer be held.
With this realization, she moved forward to make her departure.
Outside, the female disciple and her sisters skilled in detoxification forcefully opened the chests locked by the Elders, securing all the necessary medicinal materials.
"Sister, is this sufficient quantity of medicinal ingredients?"
"If it is not enough, procure more. Do you have any idea what specific poison was utilized?" the female disciple inquired, looking toward the others.
Upon hearing her question, the other sisters expressed their ignorance, shaking their heads. Despite extensive study, they were unable to identify the poison; it was truly an enigmatic substance. There was no discernible sensation of poison within the body, yet everyone's Original Soul energy was inexplicably vanishing.
"I could not ascertain its nature."
"This poison is exceedingly peculiar, leaving absolutely no trace."
"Indeed, Sister, following exposure to the poison, aside from the continuous drain of Original Soul energy, there are no other accompanying symptoms."
"We all ingested the Life Essence Pill, but its effect was akin to casting a stone into a bottomless ocean; it proved entirely ineffective, and the Original Soul energy continued its relentless depletion."
The sisters voiced their concerns, their expressions growing increasingly somber.
If this situation persisted, they would eventually transform into ordinary individuals, devoid of Original Soul energy. In such a state, would they not be entirely at the mercy of others?
"How could such a thing possibly occur?"
The female disciple's countenance darkened considerably, resembling ink as she murmured to herself.
She found it difficult to comprehend, considering these sisters were regarded as the most adept in poison arts within the Saintess Sect, and perhaps even throughout Yin City. How could they be rendered so utterly helpless against this particular poison?
"First, let us gather all these medicinal materials, and then we shall seek a suitable location to commence our research."
She refused to accept the notion that they would be defeated by such a poison; her resolve was firm – she was determined to discover a method for creating an antidote.
