Yu Ziqing knew that starting today, Xinyu City would no longer be a vassal of Emperor Zhen, but would embrace the arms of Dali.
He watched as the West Desolate Army entered the city, disciplined and orderly, taking over the defenses and beginning to purge the city's unstable elements. In the past, no one cared for fugitives or the Evil Dao, but now, they were all dragged out, their charges read aloud, and beheaded in the streets.
The executioners were from Dali, using the Divine Dynasty's Magic Artifacts.

Furthermore, Yu Ziqing noticed that all those selected were heinous criminals, the type most likely to incite public anger, as evidenced by the cheers from the execution ground.
The next day, lower-level officials from Dali entered the city, efficiently arranging the reception of refugees.
