From the moment Xia Chuan announced in front of hundreds of thousands that Li Xuanling was to marry Xia Hong, the staunch loyalists of the Li Family lost any legal foundation for restoration.
The tens of thousands in Long Mountain felt psychologically unburdened integrating into Great Xia.
Xia Chuan gathered 120,000 people in such a grand manner, not intending to disperse them easily. Executing more than 700 was for intimidation; announcing Xia Hong and Li Xuanling's engagement was for reassurance. These were merely the two most significant events of the night.
There are over 10,000 people still imprisoned in the dungeon, with over 7,000 from the Earth-digging Realm, part of the Long Mountain Garrison during Xia Hong's siege the night before. Among them, the more heinous 400 have already been executed, while the remaining have lighter offenses, but have indeed engaged in battle with the Xia Army, thus subject to Great Xia's rules for captives.
