Flower-Fruit Mountain, the forelands.
"How are the casualties? Is everyone okay?"
Seeing Luo Bai return with his white clothes stained with blood, Leng Xuan and the others who had been waiting at the forelands tightened their hearts. They surrounded him with inquiries, and Leng Xuan immediately started to check Luo Bai up and down for any injuries.
"I'm fine, this blood isn't mine."
Luo Bai shook his head, but there was not much excitement on his face. A shadow of sadness flashed in his eyes as he spoke in a low voice, "We lost four hundred brothers, I'm sorry, I didn't protect them well enough!"
"You did very well already!"
Leng Xuan patted Luo Bai's shoulder, "Alright, Luo Bai, this is a war, and war always comes with sacrifices. It's inevitable! We managed to stop the Heavenly Court's army on the outskirts for so long without letting them break through to the mountain gate, which is quite an accomplishment!"
