"No."
I put a hand over my chest. "What an injustice. The criminal escapes unpunished!"
"She paid for it with the lives of the Tao clan's people. Many fell among those who assaulted our walls today, creating a distraction that let her enter and escape. Although, the victory wasn't bloodless for us, either. And with the attack on the palace, people in the city will grow fearful. Disciple, how many wraiths do you have prepared?"
"Seventy, Master. I've been making them as fast as I could, but I've seen Tao Song burn two dozen hungry spirits with a single wave of her fans. Wave of her fans, and fire. I think we need at least seventy more before attacking."
"We may not have this much time, Disciple. Keep working. I will arrange a new, not destroyed room for you to live in, and tell you when the time to strike comes. Then you will lead the wraiths in attack."
