Wu Xiao turned around, stood on the sacrificial plaza, and looked down at the world below.
She remained calm as she gazed down at the Imperial Preceptor's faction, who were struggling to survive. No matter how hard they tried, they couldn't reach them, because there were military generals suppressing everything below.
