Zuo Xiaoluo, like those combat puppets, was dumbfounded.
She heard the Empress had a decree and thought it was an order for her to quell the rebellion quickly.
On her way here, Zuo Xiaoluo had already planned the suppression, just waiting to resolve the crisis in the Imperial City before leading the troops to slaughter the rebels.
Unexpectedly, the Empress's decree was about trivial domestic matters.
It seemed the rampant rebellion in the city wasn't considered at all.
For a moment, Zuo Xiaoluo's emotions were inconsistent.
Before she could react, a dog's bark suddenly echoed in the void:
"Woof!"
Zuo Xiaoluo snapped back to reality, pulled out the iron kitchen knife from behind her, and warily looked in the direction where the barking came from.
In that direction, she sensed the presence of hundreds of demonic beasts.
