Chapter 217 Deflated
Inside the Soul Master Corps’ base.

After several soul masters finished their training, they sat together and chatted.

"Have you heard that His Majesty has appointed a chief soul master?"

"Chief Spirit Master? Who?"

"His name is Yu Xiaogang, and outsiders call him Master."

"He also published the ten core theories of martial spirits, which are quite famous in the outside world."

"Tsk, master? Anyone can be called a master these days. Why is he the chief spirit master? Isn't this suppressing you? Will you listen to him in the future?"

"Seems to be."

"I don't know about you, but I won't listen to Yu Xiaogang. Who the hell is he to think he can control me?"

Several people were talking about Xue Ye's appointment as the chief soul master. They were not familiar with Yu Xiaogang and did not know him. The soul masters in the soul master corps rarely paid attention to the outside world and basically focused on cultivation. However, no one broke through to the Titled Douluo.

The strongest is just Contra.

There are many people in the entire soul master group who have received help or guidance from Di Hong, so they are not at all interested in Yu Xiaogang and the others.

The older soul masters, who were also the most powerful soul masters, did not express any opinions, but their words showed their disapproval of Yu Xiaogang. Some of them knew Yu Xiaogang.

In their opinion, how could a soul master who was only at the great soul master level rule them?

Yu Xiaogang summoned the soul masters of the Soul Master Corps to gather at Shrek Academy the next day. However, only a small number of them went. These people were basically diehard fans of the royal family or people who had grudges against the Spirit Hall. Most of the remaining soul masters did not go.

Inside Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, while Liu Erlong, Flanders and Zhao Wuji stood beside him.

Looking at the soul masters in front of him, Yu Xiaogang sighed. There were too few soul masters. This was only one third of the soul masters. The number was really too small and far from his expectations.

He still underestimated Di Hong's influence.

"This Di Hong is really uncooperative. Xiao Gang is the chief soul master appointed by Emperor Xue Ye. How dare he go against his will?" Liu Erlong herself has a hot temper. Now that the person she loves is treated like this, how can she not be angry.

She knew that Yu Xiaogang had not slept all night in order to prepare for the training plan, but in the end he only came for this long.

Yu Xiaogang's whole night's hard work was completely in vain.

"I'll go find him!"

Liu Erlong stomped her feet and prepared to leave, but Flanders beside her hurriedly stopped her.

"Erlong, calm down."

Flanders was convinced by his younger sister-in-law. How could she dare to go to find Di Hong, who was a Titled Douluo? Even though Liu Erlong's strength had reached that of a Soul Douluo, she was still not strong enough to face a Titled Douluo, especially one like Di Hong.

With Liu Erlong's hot temper, if she really pissed off Di Hong, she might not be able to come back alive.

Although Di Hong is not well-known and only has the title of the youngest Titled Douluo, he has learned from Ning Fengzhi that Di Hong has killed many people. There are only two possibilities when he takes action. The first is that he really wants to kill you, in which case you may not survive for more than a minute.

The second type is that he is simply annoyed and wants to chase you away.

In the second case, Di Hong basically would not use his full strength, just like when the Spirit Hall attacked the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Di Hong only appeared in front of everyone in the form of his spirit body and did not take any action. Tang Yuehua only took action to protect the people of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

Tang Yuehua's protective ability is indeed a bit scary. She managed to protect so many people from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect so easily.

"I can't calm down. This Di Hong completely despises Xiao Gang." Liu Erlong roared. "Okay." Yu Xiao Gang said calmly.

"Let's train first."

If there are not enough people, then so be it. We’ll talk about it later.

Shrek Academy was training intensively. Di Hong and Tang Yuehua sat opposite each other in Yuexuan.

"Most of the soul masters in the Soul Master Corps did not go to Shrek Academy. Was it your instruction?" Tang Yuehua asked curiously.

Di Hong shook his head: "It's not me. I didn't give them any instructions. This is their own decision."

"Your influence is really great." Tang Yuehua had not expected that Di Hong's influence in the Soul Master Group could allow them to ignore the emperor's orders. If Xue Ye knew about this, one wonders how angry the emperor would be.

Di Hong snorted.

"After all, I have been in charge of the Soul Master Group for decades."

"I guess Yu Xiaogang will definitely come to find you when the time comes." Tang Yuehua believed that Yu Xiaogang would never get what he wanted with what happened today. If he wanted to truly command the entire soul master group, he would have to come to find Di Hong.

Because only Di Hong can command them.

"I won't see any visitors during this time."

"What's the reason?" Tang Yuehua asked.

"An old injury relapsed, so I have to stay in seclusion to recuperate."

After saying that, Di Hong stood up and left.

Now, as the time of action approaches, Di Hong has gradually become less concerned about the affairs of the empire. Now a considerable part of the kingdom's army has arrived at the Sunset Forest. If it were in the past, it would be impossible for so many troops to come to the outside of Tiandou City without being discovered.

But now it’s different. The entire empire has been infiltrated by the Kingdom of Silvester like a sieve. Even the imperial guards have been completely infiltrated. Xue Ye is just a blind man.

To put it bluntly, even if Di Hong replaced all 50,000 troops with the imperial guards, it would be difficult for Xue Ye to discover them.

Of course, Di Hong would definitely not do this. The closer it gets to the end, the less anxious he should be.

That afternoon after Di Hong left, Yu Xiaogang came to visit. After all, he was the chief soul master of the empire, and he also had the title of master, so Tang Yuehua came to greet him in person.

Yu Xiaogang didn't waste any words and directly stated his purpose. However, Tang Yuehua said that Di Hong's old injury relapsed and he went into seclusion to recuperate, and he was not in Yuexuan at the moment.

Yu Xiaogang naturally heard this kind of evasive talk. Liu Erlong, who followed him, was very angry. Just as she was about to lose her temper, she was stunned by a look from Tang Yuehua. Tang Yuehua looked at her without any emotion, even with indifference.

But her aura completely suppressed Liu Erlong.

This is Yuexuan. If Liu Erlong dares to take action here, she can guarantee that the other party will not live until tomorrow.

Liu Erlong also knew that they couldn't take action here. This was Yuexuan. Tang Yuehua's network of contacts spread throughout the Tiandou Empire, and she had a close relationship with the royal family. In addition, she was also a Titled Douluo. If they made a move here, Shrek Academy would probably be in trouble.

Yu Xiaogang couldn't see Di Hong, so he had to leave with Liu Erlong.

Afterwards, they went to where the Soul Master Group was, but as expected, they were met with a setback. Those people simply ignored him. Even when he tried to persuade them with emotion and reason, they would not listen. He even brought up Emperor Xue Ye.

But he still ignored her and threatened her directly, even saying that if she couldn't keep him here, she would find another place to stay. Douluo Continent is so big, it's not just the Tiandou Empire.

Yu Xiaogang couldn't be anxious now. If he forced them away, it would be troublesome.
