For the next month, a systematic purge of the Kitsune, Nagen, and Succubus clans began. It started within the imperial capital, where members connected to the three clans were arrested almost immediately, their crimes exposed and their positions stripped before executions were carried out without hesitation.
From there, the purge spread into the four provinces surrounding the capital. With Fulgur and Loyd personally overseeing the investigations, every hidden crime committed by members of the three families since Lin Qui's reign was dragged into the light.
Officials who had abused their authority, nobles who had protected criminals, soldiers who had participated in the persecution of rival clans, and family members who had used their influence to bury evidence were all dealt with according to their crimes.
