In the end, fewer than ten people managed to escape the encirclement of the Panhu family and Ye You, including Tian Xiaozi and two Earth Demons, as well as a few high-ranking leaders with strong magic power.
The remaining were mostly executed, with about a thousand people captured.
Deciding what to do with these prisoners gave Pu Chen a headache.
Killing them all seemed too cruel, damaging Ye You's reputation and unfavorable for future battles; releasing them, if they continued to be loyal to Tian Xiaozi, would let the tiger return to the mountain; keeping them detained here would be a huge drain on the Taiyi Mountain Base, as it required providing food, lodging, and dispatching heavy troops for guarding.
Ye You seemed unconcerned, instructing Pu Chen to detain them for a few days, promising he'd have a solution in time.
