Li Xuan is not bloodthirsty.
But this time, he started choosing and slaughtering Ministry of War high-ranking officials who had no grudges with him, and some even unknown to each other.
Because he felt a crisis.
He acted not because "he knew what the other party did," but because "he knew the other party could do something harmful to him."
A commoner is guiltless, but if harboring a dangerous weapon, it becomes guilt.
From Wei Yao, Li Xuan already knew that a significant portion of people in the Nine Towns were xenophobic.
If these Generals who had grudges with him colluded with the Nine Towns to frame and harm him, fabricating nonsense theories like "the outsider genius conspiracy theory," or uttering lines like "Li Xuan thinks cultivators are fools," or saying "the Divine Martial Monarch's consort is a beauty beyond compare" then...
He would most likely feud with the Nine Towns.
From Wei Yao, Li Xuan knew that the Lingyi Sect opened because of the increase in Spiritual Qi.
