Ma Xiaotao furrowed her brows and said, "Rescuing them will be difficult. Although I don't know how you managed to sneak into the Water Prison that day, you must have seen that all the hostages were poisoned, with no way to gather their Soul Power. There are a large number of Evil Soul Masters from the Holy Spirit Cult defending the place, with Soul Master groups present both outside and inside the city. To rescue several hundred people under these circumstances, it would be near impossible even if the academy mobilized everyone. We are close to Ming Capital, and they could send reinforcements at any time."
