Chapter 79 The End of the Rebellion
Inside the palace, Xue Yu was smashing and yelling. Xue Ye's army had entered the city to suppress the rebellion, and the situation was already hopeless for him. The soul masters around him were running away or surrendering, and even Yin Xuan was nowhere to be found.

Now he can be said to be truly alone.

No one outside dared to go in, for fear of becoming a tool for Xue Yu to vent his anger.

Outside the palace, the anti-rebellion army has basically recaptured all places except the palace, and has arrived outside the palace.

The rebel soldiers standing on the palace wall couldn't help swallowing their saliva when they looked at the neatly-lined and powerful army outside to suppress the rebellion. They didn't have many people left, and if they continued to resist, they would only die.

Xue Ye was wearing armor and riding a horse at the front of the team. On either side of him were Di Hong and Ning Fengzhi, and behind him were the soul masters of the Empire and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Looking at the shivering soldiers on the palace wall, Xue Ye sneered.

"There are only a few of us left, and you still dare to resist."

If he hadn't been concerned about the hostages in the palace, he would have ordered an attack long ago.

"Your Highness, for now we should focus on persuading them to surrender and not anger them," said Ning Fengzhi.

Xue Ye nodded, and immediately arranged for people to persuade them to surrender.

Faced with the continuous psychological attacks, coupled with the anti-rebellion army below, some soldiers could no longer bear it. They were just ordinary soldiers, and joining the rebellion was not an option for them. Now that the general trend was set, if they continued to join the rebellion, they would really be dead.

Although you cannot enjoy wealth and prosperity after surrendering, at least you can save your life.

But they did not surrender immediately. After all, their superiors were watching them. If they surrendered, they would most likely be executed.

Xue Yu still wanted to negotiate, but Xue Ye directly rejected the conditions he proposed.

Now that he has the advantage, it is naturally impossible for him to agree to Xue Yu's rude request. At this point, he still wants to be the emperor, which is simply wishful thinking.

Inside the Prince's Mansion.

Xue Ye was discussing what to do next with a group of his confidants.

Some people suggested besieging but not attacking. After all, there was limited food in the palace, and they would starve to death if they besieged it for a while. But some people suggested negotiating with Xue Yu and asking him to surrender, which would save some costs.

But this obviously wouldn't work. Even if Xue Yu surrendered, the best outcome for him would be to have his martial soul abolished and be exiled. Xue Ye couldn't possibly keep him.

Ning Fengzhi suggested continuing to win over the hostages' hearts and minds and persuading them to surrender, and at the same time sending people to secretly sneak into the palace to protect the captured families. As long as the hostages were safe, they would have nothing to worry about.

Xue Ye adopted Ning Fengzhi's plan and sneaked into the palace. Naturally, Di Hong went there again, but this time he was not alone. Ning Fengzhi sent two direct descendants of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, and Xue Ye also sent royal soul masters to follow.

In addition to soul masters, there are also soldiers from the Knights.

Their plan was not only to protect the hostages, but also to open the palace gates from inside to let the anti-rebellion troops in.

As the crown prince, Xue Ye was very familiar with the palace, and after reconnaissance they had also determined which parts of the palace were weakly guarded, making it very easy to sneak in.

After entering the palace, Di Hong and his entourage headed towards where the hostages were being held.

In order to cooperate with Di Hong and others, Xue Ye personally led the army to the square in front of the palace gate and made an attacking posture.

Xue Ye's actions immediately attracted most of the rebel defense forces, and even Xue Yu came to the palace wall wearing armor.

Looking at the army below and the snowy night in front of the army, his eyes were full of unwillingness.

The hostages were held in a hall in the imperial garden of the palace, which was guarded by hundreds of soldiers and a soul saint. After confirming their deployment, Di Hong immediately took action and flew into the air to release his second soul skill [Fire Feather].

Feathers burning with flames fell from the sky and formed a wall of fire around the palace in an instant. The soul masters and knight soldiers who followed immediately launched an attack. The wall formed by fire separated the inside and the outside, making it impossible for the soldiers inside to get out. Some people reacted and wanted to take hostages in the palace, but they were all killed by Di Hong.

After killing the rebels and soul masters in the fire circle, Di Hong only needs to deal with the Soul Saint.

However, before he could make a move, the Soul Saint actually ran away.

"Oh my god, are you all so spineless?"

He ran away before he even made a move.

Is he so powerful now?
When Xue Yu heard the news that the Imperial Garden had been seized, he was stunned. He kept wondering how the other party had sneaked into the palace.

He soon figured it out. He knew the palace, and Xue Ye knew it better than he did. After all, the repairs to the palace were all done by Xue Ye's people. The hostages were his last resort, and he must not allow any of them to be lost. Just as he was mobilizing his troops to go to the Imperial Garden, Di Hong sent out a signal.

After receiving the signal, Xue Ye outside the palace immediately ordered an attack, which attracted Xue Yu again. He had no choice but to take care of this place first and could only go to the Imperial Garden after repelling Xue Ye.

Di Hong was also taking action. After the hostages were safe, he immediately ordered the soul masters and knight soldiers who were accompanying him to attack the palace gate, and let the rebel army in. Under the joint attack from both inside and outside, the palace gate was quickly breached, and the rebel army easily broke into the palace.

Some of the rebels surrendered directly, while others tried to resist but were all killed. Xue Yu wanted to run away but was caught by the soul master beside him. Although he had good talent, his swan martial soul was not very strong in combat.

The 30,000 guards he was counting on could not come to Tiandou City.

They were recruited dozens of miles away from Tiandou City and are now heading towards the hunting ground. They will not come to Tiandou City again.

The rebellion was quelled, and Xue Ye swaggered into the palace. Now that the emperor was in a coma, he was the actual ruler of the empire. The rebellion was over, and the next step was to restore order in Tiandou City and appease the people.

Although this rebellion seems like a joke, it has also caused panic among the people and must be appeased. As for rewards, we will have to wait. First, the emperor has not woken up yet, and second, it is not the right time yet. We will have to wait a few days before giving out rewards.

Although Xue Yu was captured, the rebellion has not yet been completely over. The local generals and city lords who supported Xue Yu and sent troops to follow Xue Yu in the rebellion have not yet been captured.

What happened next had nothing to do with Di Hong. Xue Ye began to dispatch troops to local areas to capture people and quell the rebellion, while he stayed by Xue Ye's side to prevent anyone from hurting Xue Ye. Ning Fengzhi also began to deal with the matter of the Seven Treasures Glaze.

This evening.

Di Hong returned to the Earl's Mansion.

Arriving at the reception room, he sat down directly.

Leaning back in the chair, he closed his eyes. He hadn't gotten a good rest in the past few days and had been staying by Xue Ye's side the whole time.

Tang Yuehua came to the reception room and poured him a cup of tea.

"Busy working?"

"Almost." Di Hong said.

"After the matter of Tiandou City is resolved, I will go to obtain the seventh spirit ring."

Tang Yuehua didn't say anything, came behind him and started massaging him.
