The Old Jue Emperor perished amidst the tribulation lightning.
The Xuan Yang Court quickly began to dismantle the Xuanjiang Aquatic Race. "Those not of our race are sure to have different hearts." The brutality of the Grand Ancestor Emperor's war against the world's Demon Race was still remembered by the people to this day.
Dealing with the Xuanjiang Aquatic Race would naturally not be as violent as back then, but the process would likely be no less brutal—perhaps even more so.
Grand Tutor Xuanyang, Liang Yuan Kang, personally oversaw the operation, with the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Works in charge of execution.
As per the previous agreement between Liang Yuan Kang and the Old Jue Emperor, the Xuanjiang Merfolk were exiled to the South Sea, and the Xuanjiang Water Court ceased to exist.
There were quite a few members of the Aquatic Race who resisted, but they were all ultimately suppressed.
Everything proceeded smoothly.
