Casualties

The Palace Masters, including Jian Wushuang and the Samsara Temple Master, all had their breaths held as the weight of the Tang Emperor's words sank in.

"As you well know, we do not have many Universe Master. To make up for the lack of strength, we have bolstered their ranks with tactical formations in place. With most of the Masters adept in protecting themselves, we have lost one Universe Master and another got badly injured. The rest is still able for battle."

"One dead and another wounded?" The Palace Masters around nodded gently. It was still a loss that they could tolerate.

Despite their tactical advantage in the ambush, it was a deadly and difficult battle nonetheless that would have claimed several more lives of the Universe Masters.
