Though he had escaped thanks to this, he had also suffered serious injuries, so he found somewhere to recuperate and only returned to Moonwatch City after his condition had stabilized somewhat.
"That is all this disciple has to report."
After finishing, Liu Yu bowed again, then returned to the line and waited silently for the outcome.
In truth, the main reason the Bing-Character No. 6 Spirit Herb Garden had fallen was that the enemy's attacking force had far outstripped their defenders. Leaving aside the fact that the enemy had twice as many Qi Refining cultivators, they also had seven more Foundation Establishment cultivators, including renowned figures such as the Six Sons of Hehuan.
When the gap in strength reached a certain point, all methods and schemes became pale and powerless, losing their meaning.
Thus, the responsibility did not actually lie with the cultivators stationed at the Spirit Herb Garden. Rather, the Sects had failed to send reinforcements, leaving its defenses undermanned and giving the Enemy Cultivators an opening. It was not the fault of the stationed cultivators.
But no one dared, or could, say this. None of the six had even mentioned it. How could the Sects possibly have made a mistaken decision? Perhaps the Sects had more important objectives that required them to divert manpower elsewhere?
These various factors had led not only to the loss of the Spirit Herb Garden, but also to the deaths of over half the Foundation Establishment cultivators and the near-total destruction of the Qi Refining Period disciples.
Taking all these factors into account, Liu Yu did not believe the Sects would punish them severely. At most, they would impose a token penalty. That was why he had returned to the Sects; otherwise, he would long since have fled far away.
