Ren could not help but shake his head. "Since it is a slaughter, sacrifices are absolutely unavoidable. Still, reduce the losses as much as possible. Even if someone dies and their body is shattered, their Primordial Spirit must be preserved for reincarnation. Otherwise, they can only rely on a trace of residual divine will from the Sky Ranking to restore their soul through the Eight-Treasure Merit Pool before entering reincarnation. That recovery process is extremely slow. Besides, every one of their deaths is an enormous loss to us."
Where there was slaughter, there were sacrifices. The core members and leaders of many factions might fight, but they would restrain themselves to some extent and avoid deaths whenever possible. After all, each side's core members were exceptionally important figures. If an accident occurred, the two factions would surely become irreconcilable enemies. Therefore, unless they were confident they could utterly destroy the other side, the core members of every faction would exercise restraint.
That was why, ever since Dijun and Taiyi had been resurrected, despite confronting Ren and fighting him so many times, there had been no casualties. After all, if you did not know your opponent's trump cards and lacked the confidence to wipe them out in one stroke, you could only wait patiently.
However, while waiting, the contests between their subordinates became extremely important. The fighting among subordinates could expose your trump cards. Moreover, life and death could be disregarded in such battles. At the very least, if Ren's subordinates killed several of Dijun's Demon Sages, Dijun would never become irreconcilable enemies with Ren over it. Likewise, if Dijun's Demon Sages killed several disciples of the Interception Sect or several people from Shrouding the Heavens, Ren would not become irreconcilable enemies with Dijun either.
It was like during the Witch-Demon
