Chapter 149 Disguise Xue Qinghe

It took Di Hong less than an hour to kill most of the soul masters in the hunting forest, but he also consumed a lot of his soul power. Although the others were not as strong as him, they could not withstand the number of people.

Some of the remaining people disappeared, some were killed by the royal soul masters, but no one was caught.

Although the battle was over, the hunting forest was destroyed beyond recognition. There was hardly a single intact tree to be seen. The river was also evaporated by the high temperature generated when Di Hong released his soul power, leaving only the riverbed.

The entire forest was covered with scorched earth and flames. The raging flames almost turned the sky red, and there was fire but no smoke. Everyone had witnessed the terrifying destructive power of Di Hong. The hunting forest was not small.

After getting rid of these black-clothed soul masters, everyone discovered a problem.

Xue Qinghe is gone.

This is a problem. Everyone was so busy fighting that no one cared about Xue Qinghe, and now he is missing.

Di Hong did not go back directly, but started searching in the forest. Now the whole forest was filled with terrifying fire. No one dared to go in except him. Those guys would be killed if they were touched, and they did not want to risk their lives for a prince.

As a leader who cares about his subordinates, Di Hong took on the task of finding people without hesitation. After searching in the forest for a while, he found some corpses. Some of these corpses were royal soul masters, and some were from the Royal Knights.

They were all killed in a surprise attack.

"Qinghe!"

"Qinghe!"

Di Hong called out twice, but when no one answered, he prepared to look somewhere else.

At this time, a faint voice came into my ears.

"Uncle Di, Qinghe is here."

After hearing the sound, Di Hong turned around and saw "Xue Qinghe" standing there holding a tree. He looked miserable and injured.

Di Hong hurried over to support him.

"How did it become like this?"

Xue Qinghe rolled his eyes secretly when he heard this. Originally, he was not so weak, but the power of Di Hong's fire was too great, causing him to exhaust his soul power in order to resist the fire.

"I'm fine. I just consumed too much soul power. The injury is not serious."

He also caused these injuries himself, after all, he has to do the whole act.

Today's Xue Qinghe is no longer the real Xue Qinghe, but Qian Renxue. After paying a considerable price, she finally lured Xue Qinghe here, killed him, and disguised herself as Xue Qinghe. As for the real Xue Qinghe, he is now under a pool not far away, with stones tied to his body.

The person died a long time ago.

Although she felt a little reluctant, she had no choice but to do it for the sake of the Spirit Hall's cause.

Logically speaking, her body shape is quite different from Xue Qinghe's, and they are more than two years older than each other. Plus, she is a woman, so it is impossible for her to pretend to be Xue Qinghe. However, their angel clan has six soul bones that have been passed down for thousands of years, and one of them can change a person's body shape and voice.

It was also because of that soul bone that she was able to disguise herself as Xue Qinghe.

Even Di Hong couldn't see it.

Di Hong took him out of the forest. Seeing that Xue Qinghe was fine, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Xue Qinghe was fine, that was enough.

With such a big incident happening, the hunting competition naturally could not be held. Besides, the hunting forest was almost destroyed and the beasts inside were probably roasted to death.

Xue Ye snorted coldly and gave the order.

"Return to Tiandou City." Then the team left the royal hunting ground in a mighty manner.

On the way back, everyone had different expressions.

The people from the annexed kingdoms, except for the envoys from the Kingdom of Silvestre, were a little bit afraid. After all, Di Hong's strength was too terrifying. He hadn't even shown his full strength yet. If Di Hong used his full strength, he would probably have the power to destroy a city.

The people of the Silves Kingdom were not afraid, after all, they were family. Instead, they were a little proud. Who was Di Hong? He was the younger brother of the current King of the Silves Kingdom. Even though he was in Tiandou City and would not go back, he was still a member of the royal family of the Silves Kingdom.

In other words, Di Hong is nominally a Titled Douluo of the Tiandou Empire, but in fact he is from the Silves Kingdom.

After all, the kingdom is now powerful and independent, and the empire can no longer intervene.

They are not afraid either. They just ask you, Xue Ye, whether you dare to attack Silvester. As long as you dare, Di Hong can burn your Tiandou City to ashes and make you sleep on the street with naked buttocks.

Although Xue Ye was capable and the Tiandou Empire gradually got better under his leadership, the independence of the kingdom was also growing. He could not solve this problem, nor did he dare to solve it.

Anyway, the two sides still maintain this delicate balance: if you don't move me, I won't rebel. If you dare to move, we will unite to overthrow you and then establish a new dynasty.

Di Hong’s presence in Tiandou City is both a guarantee and a threat.

The guarantee is that Silvester will not rebel, and he also cannot touch Silvester. The threat is that as long as Xue Ye dares to move, Di Hong will take action. The power of a Titled Douluo is not something he can resist.

The Silves Kingdom is becoming more and more powerful. Can't Xue Ye see it? He is not blind.

Of course he could see it, but he didn't dare to move.

Now that the Silves Kingdom is becoming more and more powerful, the influence of the Spirit Hall there has gradually weakened.

Di Yang continued Di Yuan's reforms, and he also increased the subsidies for lower-level civilian soul masters a lot, far exceeding that of other kingdoms. Neither of the two empires could find a higher subsidy than Silvester.

This does not pose any burden to the kingdom's finances. There are only a few civilian spirit masters, and the entire kingdom does not produce many civilian spirit masters every year, so increasing the subsidy is not a problem at all.

Moreover, Silvester's commercial agriculture is very developed nowadays. With the development of both, the taxes collected will naturally increase. As for those nobles, anyone who dares to oppose or resist will be physically executed. Anyway, we don't need people like you.

The kingdom has cultivated many talents over the past few decades, and these people have taken over important positions. There is no need to worry about chaos caused by killing nobles. On the contrary, every time a noble is killed, a lot of money can be confiscated from their property.

Di Yang is a little addicted to it. Confiscating property does make money quickly.

Although there are many nobles on the mainland, it still depends on strength.

Originally, soul masters only received a subsidy of one gold soul coin per month, but now it has increased to five gold soul coins per person. It may not seem like much, but one gold soul coin is enough for an average family to live on for several months, and even for a year if they live frugally.

Five gold soul coins a month can allow an ordinary family to live a rich life.

The amount of gold soul coins given to great soul masters increased from ten to twenty. Even if a soul master was born in a family and joined the kingdom, his family would receive special treatment and enjoy many good benefits, so the family would basically have no worries about food and clothing.

Although this affects the interests of the Spirit Hall, they are not afraid. The Spirit Hall is also angry but dares not speak out. They cannot attack the royal family, otherwise what awaits them is Di Hong's crazy revenge. He cannot go to the Spirit City, so he cannot destroy the Spirit Halls you have established in various places.

You have destroyed them all one by one. The Spirit Hall will have no place to cry. Bibi Dong doesn't dare to do that because she knows Di Hong's strength too well.

So they could only allow the Kingdom of Silvester to reform.

Di Yang is not stupid either. They did not completely touch upon the fundamental interests of the Spirit Hall. Even the awakening of the spirits of the lower-class civilians was not something they did, so the Spirit Hall is still responsible for it. This is why, although the Spirit Hall is dissatisfied, it did not put pressure on them.

Because their core interests are not affected.
