Chapter 3179: Chapter 3179: Sated with Water

“They’re all cultivators; surely they can hold out until we leave the desert, right?” Min Yi pondered and said.

With so much water, if they still can’t make it out of the desert, what use are these people in the future? Might as well leave their lives in the desert then.

“Don’t underestimate human nature.”

Qian Yizheng chuckled softly, reminding him that he had seen too many complex human hearts at Huayan Peak.

“Even if the majority can endure, there will always be a few who just love to cause trouble.”

He didn’t believe there wouldn’t be at least one troublemaker among so many people. When there’s no food or drink, negative emotions are easiest to arise, and one wrong word from a bystander could escalate things.

“Do you also want to leave first?”

“No, no, no.”

Min Yi shook his head hastily. In the desert, they walked on two legs when they came, and it was already tough enough. If they had to walk back again, it would cost him half his life.

“It’s better to go back by horse carriage. Walking in the desert is too exhausting.”

“Yeah.”

Yi Zhou nodded, glancing at the little baby pretending to sleep.

Nuonuo’s face showed obvious fatigue. It was only because he was still excited that he didn’t look uncomfortable and start crying.

“Brother, should we let Min Yi give them the antidote?” he asked.

A portion of the men deceived by the Saintess Sect hadn’t yet regained their cultivation level. Should they be given the antidote now?

“No need.”

Qian Yizheng decisively refused.

Why give them the antidote now, so they can cause more chaos when there’s no food or drink?

“Wait until we’re out of the desert to give them the antidote.”

“Alright.”

Yi Zhou thought about it and agreed.

Min Yi, on the other hand, pouted, thinking that these people who could foolishly rush into the Saintess Sect’s trap and still not react after so many others had run away were truly stupid.

In his opinion, people who are so easily deceived and instigated should have their cultivation crippled for life to prevent future trouble.

…

A few days later, the large group finally left the desert and arrived at a small town.

Some people had tried to stir up trouble in the desert, forcing the major clans for food, but they were all suppressed.

As for food, the amount allotted to each was just that. If it’s gone, drink some water and feel full, then.

“We’ll rest outside the town and aren’t allowed to enter the town to disturb them.”

A Family Head instructed the clan guards. The townsfolk were pitiful; they’d already been ransacked for food twice. Although they were given money, the Saintess Sect people were half buying, half robbing.

So this time, they should avoid entering the town, go further away, and buy food from the nearby city.

“We won’t go in either,” the several Family Heads echoed.

Even if they went in, they wouldn’t find much to eat. They should leave some food for the townsfolk, right?

Hearing the major clans not allowed into the town, the common people were displeased. They were all starving, and although there was still water, what good is drinking water?

However, having been suppressed several times, they didn’t dare to cause trouble under the clan guards’ watchful eyes.

Those people didn’t care about them; if they caused trouble, they’d draw their swords without hesitation.

Had the troublemakers not fled quickly and admitted fault swiftly before, they might not have known how they died.
