After a brief silence, Lechuan asked Huo Bai how he planned to handle the bodies of his clansmen, Huo Wu and Huo Cheng.
Huo Bai closed his eyes in anguish, tears streaming down his face. He said,
"If Senior Brother Le agrees, I would like to bury the remains of my kinsmen here."
The Beast Taming Sect didn't have a tradition of returning to one's roots for burial; people were generally interred where they fell. It was just that Awakening Lion Valley was still a warzone and not fully captured, making it unsuitable as a final resting place.
"Our families have always been close, so that's easily arranged. But now… with our faction in this state… Yue'e Ancestor has fallen, Jade Rabbit Ancestor has defected to Qi Yun, four of our seven Nascent Soul cultivators are dead, and one has gone elsewhere. The few who remain can barely protect themselves. How are we supposed to survive?"
