Casualties were an entirely normal part of this process. As long as the foundation of the Merak Sacred Land remained unaffected, such losses were considered acceptable. After all, the ultimate victor would become the Merak Saint Master, and controlling the Merak Sacred Land naturally required such means.
Even the current Merak Saint Master, Baili Xun, could not interfere in these matters. Although the Merak Saint Son was his own son, he could only offer some covert support and nothing more. If he went too far, others would surely step in to object.

Yang Chan knew a little about these things, but not everything.
After all, he hadn't been in the Merak Sacred Land for long, and some matters were so secretive that he currently had no way of learning about them.
