The Holy Mountain was plunged into chaos.
Sisi indeed possessed powerful exotic beasts, but others had also secretly prepared. Sisi's hawks, falcons, and Blood Turtle were entangled in combat with the tigers and leopards of other houses. Chaos reigned among the more numerous soldiers.
What disadvantaged Sisi the most was her reluctance to blindly trust the other Elders and Chiefs, nor did she dare to trust the Han army too much, unable to determine who harbored ulterior motives. Therefore, her strategy heavily relied on her trusted yet treacherous maids. Though often deceitful in trivial matters, even backstabbing their own Holy Daughter on idle days, they proved quite reliable in serious situations. Should anything befall the Holy Daughter, their fate would surely be miserable—a fact confirmed by countless stories out in the world.
