Douluo Continent: Starting from Awakening the Vermilion Bird Martial Soul

"You're really being ridiculous. If something happens to you, how am I supposed to explain it to your two brothers, and how am I supposed to explain it to the Haotian Sect?"

Tang Yuehua smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have Uncle Titan to protect me."

Chapter 78 Suppressing the Rebellion

Chapter 78 Counterinsurgency

After Tang Yuehua finished speaking, Di Hong saw an old man as tall as a mountain walking over.

Looking at the old man with his mountain-like figure and deep eyes, even Di Hong couldn't help but feel a little pressure, even though he was now a level 70 Soul Master.

"Greetings, Senior Titan." Di Hong hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

Titan was somewhat surprised, as he had never met Di Hong before.

"You know me."

"Hong has heard of the name of the senior Hercules."

"Hahahaha." Titan laughed loudly, his voice like thunder.

"What reputation do I have? You don't need to flatter me, kid. You've already achieved so much at such a young age. I've never seen or heard of anything like it in the entire Douluo Continent."

"Senior is so complimentary."

"Alright." Titan waved his hand.

"I have come here solely to protect Miss Yuehua. She is the daughter of our Haotian Sect Master, and we cannot afford any mishaps. So you can focus on defending against the enemy, and I will protect her."

With Titan around, Di Hong felt much more relaxed. As a pure strength-type Soul Douluo, Titan's strength was unmatched at the Soul Douluo level. Even at the Title Douluo level, very few could suppress Titan in terms of strength.

With him there, even without taking action, guarding the south gate would be enough. He believed that even if the two Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Soul Douluos under Xue Yu joined forces, they probably wouldn't be a match for Titan.

Tang Yuehua brought more than 10,000 people, including both old and young, and none of them were armored, but they were enough to defend the south gate.

After all, with the power Xue Yu possessed, trying to break through the South Gate from his hands was simply wishful thinking. Even if they sent out Soul Douluo, they still had Titan. Titan was enough to intimidate them without even having to lift a finger.

The 10,000 reinforcements were all under the command of the Crown Princess Xueye.

While they were making their preparations, Xue Yu's men arrived at the south gate.

Di Hong could feel the pressure emanating from the Soul Master at the Soul Douluo level, but this pressure was far less than that of Titan.

Titan sensed the opponent's presence, let out a cold snort, and released a pressure to counter it. As soon as the two Soul Douluos clashed, the difference in their strength was immediately apparent, with Titan completely suppressing the opponent.

Elder Sun of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School floated in mid-air, his eyes slightly open.

"Titan".

"Elder Sun." Titan looked up at the old man in the sky and cupped his hands in greeting, clearly indicating that the two knew each other.

Elder Sun's gaze narrowed slightly. He hadn't expected Titan of the Power Clan to be here. Although the other party had only recently broken through to the Soul Douluo level, he was no match for him if it came to a real fight.

"Since when did your Power Clan have to get involved in the internal affairs of the royal family?"

"I advise you to leave."

Titan chuckled a few times.

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

After he finished speaking, Tang Yuehua walked over.

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

"The situation is over."

By joining Xue Yu in the rebellion, he had completely broken with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Within the school, he had always been thinking of ousting Ning Fengzhi from his position as sect leader, and then using him as a shell to take over and become the masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

But now, Xue Yu's rebellion is doomed to fail.

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

He had to ensure his survival.

He could no longer stay in the Heavenly Dou Empire; he had to run away quickly. As for Xue Yu's life or death, he no longer cared.

Without the slightest hesitation, he headed straight out of the city, leaving Di Hong completely stunned.

"They just ran away?"

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

What about the dignity of Contra?

But thinking about it, it makes sense. After all, staying here any longer could mean losing your life. Not everyone is willing to risk their life for dignity.

Elder Sun ran away, and Di Hong did not pursue him. After all, he was not the main target. Moreover, he probably wouldn't stay in the Heaven Dou Empire after running away. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would definitely hunt him down. Ning Fengzhi would not show any mercy to a traitor to the sect.

With the leader gone, the soldiers and soul masters led by Elder Sun were at a loss for what to do.

Di Hong took a deep breath and focused his energy in his dantian.

"Lay down your weapons and surrender; those who do will live."

With the leaders gone, the soldiers and soul masters naturally lost their will to attack, so they all laid down their weapons.

Di Hong couldn't help but laugh.

"At this rate, I'm afraid we'll be able to quell the rebellion before the Crown Prince even arrives on a snowy night."

The surrender of 10,000 people means that Xue Yu's military strength is dwindling, and he'd probably be lucky to have 20,000 left.

Twenty thousand people were distributed throughout the city, along the main roads leading to the palace, at various city gates, and even within the palace itself. In other words, Xue Yu had no power left to mobilize.

With the army entering the city on a snowy night, quelling the rebellion will be a piece of cake, requiring absolutely no pressure. The only thing to watch out for is the hostages in the palace. If the emperor were to become desperate and kill them, it would be a huge loss.

As the eastern sky gradually brightened, a red sun slowly rose at the horizon, its light once again illuminating the earth.

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

The city gate slowly opened.

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

He dismounted on the snowy night.

"His Royal Highness."

The group bowed, and Xueye immediately stepped forward to stop Dihong.

"No need for formalities. You have made great contributions in suppressing this rebellion, and I will not forget your achievements."

"Thank you, Your Highness. However, this is not my doing. The Crown Princess, the head of the Li clan, Tang Yuehua of the Haotian Sect, and the retired soldiers deserve the most credit."

Di Hong felt that his contribution was not great, but it was enough to gain Xue Ye's complete trust. When the time came, he could use Xue Ye's trust to slowly infiltrate the Tian Dou Empire. Before the official operation, he still had to fulfill his role as a loyal subject and also act as Xue Ye's bodyguard.

Only by continuing to gain Xue Ye's trust can he infiltrate the Tian Dou Empire continuously. After all, he cannot, like Qian Renxue, directly impersonate Xue Ye's son. He does not have the means or the ability to do so.

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

Therefore, he had to stand openly beside Xueye, so that Xueye's attention would be drawn away from the Kingdom of Silves as much as possible. With him under Xueye's nose, Xueye would feel at ease.

"The Empire will remember everyone's contributions."

"Enter the city."

With a wave of his hand, Xue Ye led his army into Tian Dou City to quell the rebellion.

Upon learning that the pacification army had entered the city, some of Xue Yu's forces fled, while others surrendered. As for the Soul Masters of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, almost all of them had fled, leaving only two Soul Saints still putting up a stubborn resistance.

Now, Xueyu has concentrated all his remaining strength in the palace to prepare for a final resistance.

Chapter 79: The Rebellion Ends

Chapter 79 The Rebellion Ends

Inside the palace, Xue Yu was smashing and roaring. Xue Ye's army had entered the city to quell the rebellion, and his situation was hopeless. The soul masters around him either ran away or surrendered, and even Yin Xuan had disappeared.

Now he is truly all alone.

No one outside dared to go in, fearing they would become Xue Yu's tool for venting his anger.

Outside the palace, the pacification army had basically recaptured all the areas except the palace and had already reached the palace grounds.

The rebel soldiers standing on the palace wall swallowed hard as they looked at the orderly ranks and imposing army outside. They didn't have many men left, and if they continued to resist, they would only face certain death.

Xue Ye, clad in armor, rode a fine horse at the very front of the procession, flanked by Di Hong and Ning Fengzhi, with Soul Masters from the Empire and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School behind him. Looking at the trembling soldiers on the palace walls, Xue Ye smiled disdainfully.

"They only have this many people left, yet they still dare to put up a stubborn resistance."

If it weren't for 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 provoke them," Ning Fengzhi said.

Xueye nodded, and then immediately arranged for people to begin persuading him to surrender.

Faced with relentless psychological warfare and the massive army suppressing the rebellion below, some soldiers could no longer withstand the pressure. They were just ordinary soldiers, and joining the rebellion was not their choice. Now that the situation was settled, joining the rebellion would truly mean certain death.

Although surrendering means missing out on wealth and status, at least it saves your life.
