High above the Crimson Slayer Sect's Headquarters, Cyrus surveyed the vast sea of disciples gathered below. Their strength spanned across various realms, from the Foundation to the Soul Transformation Realm. The disciples were strategically divided into battalions based on their abilities, expertise, and favored weapons. The weaker battalions had larger numbers, while the stronger ones were smaller in size. Cyrus and the Elders had painstakingly balanced each group to minimize casualties.
Though they had the advantage in numbers over the Battle Maiden Sect, Cyrus knew that their individual strength paled in comparison. An average Battle Maiden Sect disciple could likely face off against two of theirs, while the more gifted disciples could handle even more. This was the price of practicing Unorthodox Techniques – greater cultivation speed at the expense of Qi purity, physical strength, and rationality.
