Chapter 78 Counterinsurgency
After Tang Yuehua finished speaking, Di Hong saw an old man as tall as a mountain walking towards him.

Looking at the old man with a figure as big as a mountain and deep eyes, even Di Hong couldn't help but feel a little pressure. You know, he is now a level 70 soul master.

"Greetings, Senior Titan." Di Hong hurried forward to salute.

Titan was a little surprised, knowing that he had never seen Di Hong.

"You know the old man."

"Hong is also well-known for the name of Senior Hercules."

"Hahahaha." Titan laughed loudly towards the sky, his voice like thunder.

"What kind of reputation do I have? You don't need to flatter me. You have achieved such success at such a young age. Looking at the entire Douluo Continent, I have never seen such a success, let alone heard of it."

"Senior is so complimentary."

"Alright." Titan waved his hand.

"I came here purely to protect Miss Yuehua. She is the daughter of our Haotian Sect's leader, and there must be no mistakes. So just focus on fending off the enemy, and I will protect Miss."

With Titan around, Di Hong felt a lot more relaxed. As a pure power-type Soul Douluo, no one at the Soul Douluo level could match Titan's strength. Even at the Titled Douluo level, there were very few who could suppress Titan in terms of strength.

With him around, even if he didn't take action, it would be enough to guard the South City Gate. He believed that the two Soul Douluos from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect under Xue Yu would probably not be a match for Titan even if they joined forces.

Tang Yuehua brought more than 10,000 people. Although they were old and young, and did not have armor, they were enough to defend the South Gate.

After all, relying on the power in Xue Yu's hands, it is simply wishful thinking to want to break through the South City Gate from him. Even if they send out Soul Douluo, they still have Titan, who is enough to deter them without taking any action.

The 10,000 reinforcements were all commanded by the Crown Princess of Xue Ye.

While they were making preparations in an orderly manner, the people sent by Xue Yu arrived at the South Gate.

Di Hong could feel the pressure from the Soul Douluo level soul master, but this pressure was far less than that from Titan.

Titan also sensed the opponent, snorted coldly, and released a pressure to fight against it. As soon as the two Soul Fighters clashed, the winner was immediately decided, and Titan completely suppressed the opponent.

Elder Sun from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect floated in the air with his eyes slightly opened.

"Titan."

"Elder Sun." Titan looked up at the old man in the sky and bowed to him. It was obvious that the two knew each other.

Elder Sun's eyes narrowed slightly. He didn't expect that the Titan of the Power Clan was here. Although the other party had only broken through to the Soul Douluo not long ago, if they really fought, he would really be no match for him.

"Since when did you, the Li clan, start interfering in the affairs of the royal family?"

"I advise you to leave."

Titan snorted and laughed a few times.

"I am not involved in the internal struggle of the royal family. I am here to protect the young lady of our Haotian Sect."

After he finished speaking, Tang Yuehua came over.

Looking at Tang Yuehua, Elder Sun closed his eyes unwillingly.

“It’s over.”

He followed Xue Yu in the rebellion and had completely broken with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Within the sect, he had always wanted to drive Ning Fengzhi out of the position of sect leader, and then they would use Ning Fengzhi's position as the master to become the master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.

But now the failure of Xue Yu's rebellion is inevitable.

Looking at that group of people, there are now more than 10,000 people defending the South City Gate. Even if these 10,000 people are of all kinds, it is impossible to take it back before Xue Ye arrives.

He had to make sure he survived.

He couldn't stay in Tiandou Empire any longer, he had to run quickly, as for Xue Yu's life or death, he didn't care anymore. Without the slightest hesitation, he rushed directly out of the city, which stunned Di Hong.

"Just ran away?"

He thought that Elder Sun would at least have to fight, but he just ran away.

What about Contra’s dignity?
But it makes sense when you think about it. After all, if you stay here any longer, you might lose your life. Not everyone is willing to give up their life for the sake of dignity.

Elder Sun ran away, and Di Hong did not pursue him. After all, he was not the main target. Besides, if he ran away, he would probably not stay in the Tiandou Empire. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would definitely hunt him down. Ning Fengzhi would not show mercy to the sect's traitors.

The leader ran away, and the soldiers and soul masters led by Elder Sun were at a loss for a moment.

Di Hong took a deep breath and let the energy sink into his dantian.

"Put down your weapons, and he who surrenders will live."

The leaders ran away, so the soldiers and spirit masters naturally had no intention of attacking, so they put down their weapons one after another.

Di Hong couldn't help but laugh.

"If this continues, I'm afraid we won't need Crown Prince Xue Ye to arrive before we put down the rebellion."

The surrender of these ten thousand people means that Xue Yu’s military strength is getting less and less. It would be great if he still has 20,000 people now.

Twenty thousand people were distributed along the main roads leading to the imperial palace, as well as at various city gates and the imperial palace. This meant that Xue Yu had no forces to mobilize.

It would only take a few minutes for the army to enter the city on a snowy night and quell the rebellion. There was no need to feel any pressure at all. The only thing they needed to pay attention to was the hostages in the palace. If Xue Yu became desperate and killed those people, it would be a waste of time and effort.

The eastern sky gradually brightened, and at the end of the horizon, a red sun slowly rose, and the light once again shone on the earth.

Outside the city, Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi led the army and soul masters to the city wall.

The city gate slowly opened.

Di Hong, Tang Yuehua and the Crown Princess came out to greet them.

He dismounted from his horse on a snowy night.

"His Royal Highness."

Several people saluted, and Xue Ye immediately stepped forward to stop Di Hong.

"No need to be so polite. You have worked hard to suppress the rebellion this time. I will never forget your contribution."

"Thank you, Your Highness, but this is not my credit. The Crown Princess, the leader of the Li clan, Tang Yuehua of the Haotian Sect, and those retired soldiers have made the greatest contributions."

Di Hong felt that his contribution was not great, but it was enough to gain Xue Ye's complete trust. Then he could use Xue Ye's trust to slowly infiltrate the Tiandou Empire. Before the official action, he had to do a good job as a loyal minister and also serve as Xue Ye's bodyguard.

Only by continuing to gain Xue Ye's trust can he continue to infiltrate the Tiandou Empire. After all, he can't disguise himself as Xue Ye's son like Qian Renxue. He doesn't have the conditions and no way to do so.

He and Qian Renxue were in different environments, and too many people knew him, so it was impossible for him to hide himself.

Therefore, he must stand beside Xue Ye openly and divert Xue Ye's attention away from the Silves Kingdom as much as possible. As long as he is under Xue Ye's nose, Xue Ye will definitely feel at ease.

"The empire will remember everyone's contributions."

"Enter the city."

Xue Ye waved his hand, and the army marched into Tiandou City to quell the rebellion.

After learning that the anti-rebellion army had entered the city, some of Xue Yu's forces in the city fled, while others surrendered. As for the soul masters of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, most of them had basically fled, leaving only two soul saints who were still resisting.

Now Xue Yu has concentrated all his remaining strength in the palace to prepare for the final resistance.
