White Bone Sect escapes

As the night bled into dawn, the battlefield wore a gruesome visage. Craters marred the landscape, remnants of powerful elemental attacks.

The once vibrant disciples of the Jade Lotus Palace bore the brunt of the battle, sporting a mix of minor cuts and bruises, some even nursing more serious injuries.

However, their casualties were minimal compared to the White Bone Sect's devastating losses. Dismembered bodies, their bone-white remains stark against the dawn light, littered the ground.

For every fallen beauty of the Jade Lotus Palace, a gruesome tally of ten White Bone Sect disciples lay dead – a testament to the martial prowess of the righteous sect.

Liu Xue, despite the chaos, emerged relatively unscathed. Her agile movements and Wang Li's timely intervention had protected her from the brunt of the fight. Exhaustion, however, was etched onto her face, mirroring the state of the rest of the disciples.
