When the Ghost Immortals and Demon Immortals joined forces to breach the Guardian Mountain Formation, they did not press their advantage. Instead, they put forward a demand: they only wanted three thousand out of the fifty thousand miners, and promised not to take any lives.
To be fair, this demand was not excessive at all. Yet the Yuhu Alliance, having been burned more than once, refused to yield an inch and absolutely would not release anyone.
This was because once those three thousand people were sent away, they would return with only ten percent of their vitality and life force remaining; their souls and Divine Souls would have their Soul Power completely drained, leaving them like walking corpses hanging on by a single breath. True, no lives were taken, but how was that any different from murder? They would need at least ten thousand years of recuperation just to recover their original state. And human immortals could not live that long.
