The rebellion at Hong Residence was sudden, and losses within the Xia Capital were severe.
Three days later, Xiahou Qi officially ascended the throne as Emperor. Shortly after the New Xia Emperor's enthronement, Beiqing and Daxia formed the Qin Jin Alliance, and the marriage between Xiahou Qi and Princess Qing Bi was settled for half a year later.
Having experienced the pain of losing his father, Xiahou Qi matured a lot.
He acted with thunderous swiftness, swiftly exterminating the remnants of the Sha Sect. Those nobles who had colluded with Hong Residence, some had their homes confiscated, while others were stripped of their official positions.
The final results of the Daxia Imperial Competition were also announced.
Ye Lingyue was the undisputed first place. Due to Hong Mingyue and the Sha Sect's betrayal, Ye Liuyun as the next in line, filled the vacancy and, along with another Martial Artist, became the new top three awardees of the Daxia Imperial Competition.
