Twenty-one people killed in battle!
After a night of arrests, the atmosphere inside Jinshan County was still solemn, but inside the Jinshan Taoist Institute, the air was unbearably heavy.
During breakfast, the usually joking chef didn't utter a single word.
After the meal, Xu Jin found out that, of the six teams the Institute had dispatched to the six counties, aside from the teams of Xu Jin and Lu Xianbing, which had returned last evening, the other four teams had also returned one after another.
But the casualties were severe.
Yu Guan's team suffered the heaviest losses. The trusted aide sent by Tian Zhang was killed in battle, squad leader Yu Guan was severely injured, and another six disciples were killed on the spot, with only their bodies brought back.
The reason was simple, they encountered an ambush by Loose Cultivators with several Dining Dawn Sixth and Seventh Layer cultivators.
And this was under the protection of Star Emblems.
