Rune Mountain hurriedly stepped forward to support the elder.
He had already received intelligence that the attacking demon tribe was numerous, led by three formidable demons at the late-stage Earth Demon realm.
One of the Earth Demons seemed to be of an exotic species, with innate lightning magic that was particularly effective at breaking arrays.
This allowed them to break the grand array in one move and seize the spirit ore.
It was not their fault in battle, he wouldn't blame them.
"Senior Brother Lin, what are the casualties?"
Shen Anyan also landed on the shoal, asking Senior Brother Lin with concern.
"The demon tribe ultimately feared the might of our Daoist School, only seizing the spirit ore without taking any lives. Only a few disciples were injured, but they're not in serious condition."
"I originally vowed to defend the spirit ore to the death, but the demon tribe was too many, really beyond my strength!"
The elder sighed deeply, unable to help but shake his head.
