The news that Prince Fu had been slain by Li Xuancang, Prince Fu's Residence had been destroyed, and the Imperial Court's army had reclaimed Cloud Prefecture swiftly spread across the lands of the Human Race, causing an unprecedented uproar.
"Prince Fu's Residence has been destroyed. That festering tumor has finally been cut away."
"Cloud Prefecture has been reclaimed. Great Yan has swept away its decline in one stroke."
"Long live Marquis Wu'an!"
"..."
Countless commoners cheered and leapt for joy, overwhelmed with excitement.
With the enormous threat of Prince Fu's Residence eradicated, the people no longer had to fear for their lives from one day to the next. The sword hanging over their heads had finally fallen.
"Your Majesty, Marquis Wu'an's achievements have remade Great Yan. The matter of his rewards must be discussed without delay."
In court, the ministers all submitted memorials, demanding that Li Xuancang be richly rewarded.
Even people like Prince Ning, who bore a blood feud against the Du Family, joined in urging it.
Li Xuancang was already in the Divine Repository Realm. He could leave Great Yan, but Great Yan could not do without him.
The Imperial Court had to use every possible means to win Li Xuancang over if it wished to preserve the realm and its altars.
The Emperor understood this well. Now that the Imperial Clan's old ancestor had fallen, Great Yan needed Li Xuancang to suppress the mountains and rivers.
The Emperor did not make an immediate decision. He needed to carefully consider how Li Xuancang should be rewarded.
After court was dismissed, Prince Ning returned to his residence.
"Immediately submit the evidence of the grave crimes committed by the Peace Prefecture Marquis over the years. This prince wants the Peace Prefecture Marquis Estate wiped out, root and branch."
