Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability Chapter 3168: Don’t Curse Yourself

"If everyone here does us one favor today, my Saintess Sect shall be forever indebted. In the future, when you require assistance, my Saintess Sect will undoubtedly offer its utmost support. What do you say?"

She believed the favor of the Saintess Sect was a rare commodity, not easily acquired. If these prominent clans intended to establish themselves peacefully within Yin City, paving the way was necessary.

However, no sooner had she finished speaking than the assembled Family Heads erupted in derisive laughter.

Patriarch Hao, in particular, showed blatant contempt, regarding her as if she were utterly foolish.

The Saintess Sect... would it even have a future?

Had they forgotten that in their desperate attempt to access the portal to the Merciful Continent, the Saintess Sect had gambled everything? All its Disciples were now stranded in the desolate desert.

The Disciples remaining outside were merely the most inconspicuous ones. What power could they possibly wield?

"Didn't Master Shao inform you that everything you left outside the Little Forest was discovered by our people and subsequently reduced to ashes?"

Patriarch Hao stated, his words carrying a chilling finality.

"What?"

Upon hearing this, the leading Elder began to shake uncontrollably.

When the second contingent of Disciples had arrived, they had carried with them all the Sect's Secret Manuals, including those of a level only the Sect Master was privy to.

If those precious texts were all burnt to cinders, what prospects remained for the Saintess Sect?

The reason she hadn't taken those invaluable items during their escape was twofold: firstly, the presence of numerous men outside, which she feared would impede her progress, and more crucially, her conviction that the members of the major clans were driven by insatiable greed.

She reasoned that greedy individuals, upon beholding the Secret Manuals and ancient texts of the Saintess Sect, would never dare to destroy them. Instead, they would undoubtedly claim them for themselves.

Her plan was to reclaim the materials once they had recovered their strength.

Yet, now, Patriarch Hao declared that everything had been incinerated. How could this be? She found it impossible to believe that any of the major clans would commit such a destructive act.

But they had overlooked a crucial point: this time, it wasn't just one clan laying siege, but all the prominent clans from Yin City and its surrounding towns.

Even those clans that had once held the Saintess Sect in high esteem were not exempt. The Saintess Sect had, in essence, pilfered every talented child from these clans, with the exception of those individuals too heavily guarded to be taken.

Under such circumstances, it was inconceivable that any single clan would attempt to secretly hoard the Secret Manuals.

Standing on the moral high ground, these Secret Manuals of the Saintess Sect were, more or less, imbued with a malevolent aura. Their destruction was deemed the only justifiable course of action, and thus, they were cleanly incinerated with a single flame.

This outcome was the consensus reached by all the major clans following their prior deliberations.

"This is preposterous. Not even the Merciful Continent possesses such treasures. If one were to cultivate according to those manuals..."

"Ptooey!"

Before the Elder could finish her pronouncement, a Family Head darted forward and spat in disgust.

"To leave behind those corrupting artifacts, awaiting the emergence of more individuals, for another demonic sect like your Saintess Sect to arise? We would sooner witness our own families decline than allow that... Hmph!"

Before he could complete his outburst, the Family Head standing beside him clamped a hand over his mouth.

Another Family Head cast a weary glance at the subdued man, rolled his eyes, and spoke with evident exasperation, "Old Zhao, even if you despise the Saintess Sect to your core, you shouldn't curse your own lineage."
