Chapter 239 Annexation
Di Yang was busy with expansion, while Di Hong was more leisurely.

He left the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire and went to the province of Fasno. On the mountain near the Holy Soul Village, he met Tang Hao.

Looking at Tang Hao now, he couldn't help but snort and laugh.

"It is so sad that a great Haotian Douluo has reached this point."

Tang Hao was still the same, giving people a very decadent feeling, his eyes were much cloudy, and now he looked very embarrassed, wearing tattered clothes, missing a leg and an arm, and had the strength of only Soul Saint level.

Next to him was the blue silver grass that was transformed after Yin’s sacrifice.

Seeing Di Hong coming, Tang Hao just glanced at him.

"Are you here to kill me?"

"Why should I kill you?" Di Hong walked to his side with a smile, then sat down cross-legged.

Looking at the blue silver grass in front of him, he shook his head and made a clicking sound.

"Now your son regards me as an enemy. I guess he has come to look for you."

Tang Hao glanced at him and nodded slightly. Tang San came to find him after leaving Haotian Sect and told him what happened outside. He was surprised to learn that the Di family occupied Tiandou City and carried out a massacre.

They had known about the Di family's ambitions for a long time, but he really didn't expect that the Di family's ambitions were so big that they directly stole the entire empire. It is not difficult to guess that the Di family's actions had begun decades ago.

I'm afraid that Di Hong's coming to Tiandou City is also part of it.

Di Hong must have formulated this plan, but he guessed that after Di Hong came to Tiandou City, he only controlled the plan to ensure that there would be no problems, and the one who actually executed it was not Di Yang, but Di Ming or even Di Yuan who had retired behind the scenes long ago.

Di Ming does not look very noticeable in the entire Di family. He has no talent for cultivation and looks like a dandy young man. He is so old but has no children. As for whether he has any illegitimate sons or daughters, it is not clear. He seems to be living a life of debauchery all day long, so there must be quite a few of them.

But now it seems that all this was just a disguise.

Many people speculate that the Di family has a very large intelligence organization. As for how big it is, that is not clear, but it is definitely spread throughout the entire Tiandou Empire. Otherwise, after the Di family occupied Tiandou City, so many people quickly defected to the Di family. Are they traitors?

This is obviously not the case. Most of those who have surrendered to the Di family are definitely not traitors. They have never been members of the Tiandou royal family, but have always been members of the Di family.

What did Di Hong do in Tiandou City? First, to reassure Xue Ye, and second, to support these people. Of course, he could not do this by himself. At this time, the importance of Xue Qinghe was reflected. He was the prince, and he could promote officials and generals. This was the authority given by Xue Ye.

When Xue Qinghe was still a prince, Di Hong arranged for people to get close to him, but they were all rejected. Later, Qian Renxue disguised himself as him and recruited all the people of the Di family under his command, and then promoted them. In this way, people who had long since defected to the Di family entered the imperial high-level officials and the army openly.

Isn't this how the Imperial Guards are controlled?

Wang Shen slowly rose from an insignificant minor official to become the commander of the imperial guards.

Moreover, these people all have one common identity: they are all born as commoners and have always been suppressed. In this empire controlled by the aristocracy, there are countless officials of commoner origin who have been suppressed like them.

There is no shortage of capable people among them.

Once these people are won over by the Di family, they will form a huge force when gathered together, including people in the military.

"I really didn't expect you to go this far. So many innocent lives were killed without your permission."

Di Hong said calmly: "Innocent?"

"There are many innocent people in this world. What we are going to do is destined to leave us with no way out from the moment we start." "Either they die or we die, and we don't want to die, so we have no choice but to kill them."

"This is a matter of life and death. You can't just let it go by simply saying it's innocent."

"Don't I know they are innocent?"

"In other words, isn't your Ah Yin innocent?"

"But she still sacrificed herself, just because she was a soul beast."

"Isn't Xiao Wu innocent? Didn't she also follow in Yin's footsteps?"

Tang Hao fell silent. Isn't Ah Yin innocent? Of course she is innocent. Isn't Xiao Wu innocent? Of course she is innocent too. But so what? They sacrificed themselves anyway, just because they are soul beasts. Soul masters hunt soul beasts. All this is the fault of the Spirit Hall.

But in the eyes of outsiders, the Spirit Hall is not wrong because they are soul beasts.

It is natural for soul masters to hunt soul beasts, because if they don't hunt soul beasts, the soul power level of the soul master cannot increase. He also hunts soul beasts himself, and even soul beasts hunt each other.

"Ah~"

Tang Hao could only sigh silently after he had said a thousand words.

"I can't do anything in my current state. What happens to you has nothing to do with me. Xiao San has to do what he wants to do. As a father, I can only support him and help him."

"Yeah." Di Hong nodded.

"Okay, you can help him, but it's best not to let him appear in front of me, especially when he is not strong enough. I'm afraid I can't help but kill him."

After saying that, Di Hong stood up and left.

On the way back, Di Hong did not go directly to Tiandou City, but went to the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom first, and then returned to Tiandou City after a tour.

Di Yang expanded very rapidly, annexing three provinces in a very short period of time. Of course, it was just annexation, not digestion, and the remaining provinces were also in the process of annexation. The officials of the kingdom began to gradually take over those places, and all the disobedient nobles and officials were wiped out.

The entire empire is in chaos now. Many people fled their original places and went to the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom to join Avalanche. What the Di family did was completely against their interests, especially the interests of the nobles. In fact, some nobles wanted to join the Di family, but the Di family asked them to hand over their power, which they could not tolerate.

The Di family won’t waste time talking to you. If you don’t cooperate, get out or die.

The Di family's policy of non-violent non-cooperation offended almost all the imperial nobles, but the common people didn't care. After all, it was the nobles who were being killed, not them, so they could do what they were supposed to do.

Moreover, some civilians found that the arrival of the Di family was not a bad thing because they could get more.

A large number of nobles left their places and went to join Avalanche. Avalanche's power increased a lot, which made it difficult for King Haagen-Dazs to deal with him. He originally wanted to use Avalanche as a puppet to gain greater benefits for the kingdom.

As a result, Avalanche has now taken control.

Not only did they have an additional 300,000 troops, but they also had the allegiance of so many nobles. He didn't understand what the Di family was doing.
So many nobles were released.

Isn’t it said that the Di family is a butcher? Which butcher would do this?

After annexing five provinces of the empire, Gelong directly announced his allegiance to the Di family. Of course, this was just an announcement for others to see, after all, he was sent by the Di family.
