Everyone had left, and the task was heavy.
Before Su Yu left, they had to become Rule Masters. Those on the list who failed would be directly told by Su Yu to make way. It was coercion, but also pressure and motivation.
They had gained plenty by following Su Yu around. As for deaths... aside from the first few times, when Su Yu had been too weak to control the overall situation and a group had been lost in the battles at Great Xia Prefecture and against the Sky Abyss Race, almost no one had died in the later stages.
