Chapter 86 Dugu Bo Arrives

After Xue Ye ascended the throne, Di Hong basically had nothing to do with anything. Of course, he also fulfilled the promises he made to the Kingdom of Silves.

The Kingdom of Silvester gained greater autonomy and independence.

Although the previous Kingdom of Silves was not different from an independent kingdom, it was still far inferior to the Kingdom of Barak. Now that Xue Ye has ascended the throne, they have gained independence that they never had before.

Next, Di Yuan and his colleagues can carry out reforms with confidence.

Di Hong now spends every day in cultivation, but he basically does not practice in Tiandou City, but in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire. The affairs of the Marquis' Mansion are basically handled by Tang Yuehua.

Although he was a marquis, Di Hong did not hold any official position, but just enjoyed the treatment of a marquis.

As a marquis, he naturally has a fiefdom. His fiefdom is not far away, in the Sunset Forest area, which also includes a part of the Sunset Forest. The Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire are within the scope of his fiefdom.

It stands to reason that Sunset Forest, as a forest of wild soul beasts, cannot be used as a fiefdom, but Xue Ye still agreed to allocate part of Sunset Forest to Di Hong as a fiefdom. The reason is very simple. Now that he has ascended the throne as emperor, his relationship with the kingdom will naturally not be as close as before.

After becoming emperor, the vassal kingdoms turned from close comrades-in-arms into serious troubles. The decline of Tiandou is now an indisputable fact. He does not want to be a mediocre emperor like his father. He wants to revitalize the Tiandou Empire.

Let the Tiandou Empire regain its former glory and strength, balance the balance between the two empires again, and let the Spirit Hall fear the Tiandou Empire as much as it fears the Xingluo Empire.

Of course, as an emperor, his greatest ambition is naturally to unify the Douluo Continent and make the Tiandou Empire the only empire on the continent.

Unifying the Douluo Continent was something that not only Xingluo wanted to do, he also wanted to do it.

He couldn't touch the vassal kingdoms, and since he couldn't touch them, the only thing he could do was to prevent them from rebelling.

A delicate balance must be maintained.

Since Di Hong was the prince of the Silves Kingdom, it was naturally impossible for him to let him go back. As long as he didn't return to the Silves Kingdom, he would try his best to meet Di Hong's requirements. After all, he would definitely become a Titled Douluo in the future.

Keep him in Tiandou City to strengthen the empire's prestige.

Besides, he didn't want the entire Sunset Forest, just a part of it.

Di Hong didn't care about the fiefdom. He didn't need the taxes it brought him, and it was useless to him. However, the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire were very important to him and could not be lost, so it was most appropriate to use this area as a fiefdom. Moreover, it was under Xue Ye's nose, so he could rest assured.

Because part of the Sunset Forest was his fiefdom, people in Tiandou City called him Marquis Sunset. Emperor Hong didn't like this name. Sunset? How could he be called Sunset when he was planning a rebellion?

So he changed his name to Zhuque Hou. Originally he wanted to call him Zhuque Shen Hou, but considering the need to keep a low profile, he removed the word "Shen".

In fact, Xue Ye was also very curious. Why did Di Hong insist on making Sunset Forest his fiefdom? Was there any treasure in that place? The problem was that if there were any treasures in Sunset Forest, he would not have been unaware of it.

Di Hong's answer was that he liked to practice in the quiet mountains and forests, so he asked for the Sunset Forest as his fiefdom. Xue Ye also expressed his understanding. After all, the most taboo thing for a soul master in practice is to be disturbed. He couldn't possibly ask Di Hong not to practice.

How bad he must be.

Ice and fire are in the eyes.

Di Hong sat cross-legged on a huge rock to practice, red soul power surged around him, and the rich fire elements and energy between heaven and earth around him continuously poured into his body. After taking two immortal herbs, this place was now a holy place for him to practice.

After practicing for a while, the soul power surging around his body returned to his body. Di Hong opened his eyes and stood up to look at the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire in front of him.

"How deep is this spring?"

So far, he has never completely reached the bottom of Yin and Yang Eyes, and he doesn't know how deep it is. Entering Yin and Yang Eyes is basically pitch-black, and the deeper you go, the darker it gets. If you have claustrophobia and thalassemia, you will go crazy.

And the deeper he went, the greater the pressure of the spring water he was subjected to, which consumed more of his soul power.

Now he is unable to get to the bottom.

If there really is the corpse of a god-level dragon king underneath, the Fire Dragon King could help him break through level 100. However, the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire have been formed for ten thousand years, and it is not clear whether the power of the two dragon kings has dissipated completely.

Looking at the fairy herbs around, they can grow thanks to the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire.

This place can make plants grow thousands of times faster. It is simply a holy land for plant soul beasts and medicinal herbs.

While he was still in the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire, a special guest came to the Marquis' Mansion in Tiandou City.

In the living room of the Marquis's Mansion.

Dugu Bo sat there with his eyes closed. Next to him, Dugu Xin was also very well behaved and didn't move. Like his father, he also had a pair of green eyes.

Tang Yuehua arranged for someone to serve them tea.

"Senior Dugu has come at an unfortunate time. Di Hong is not in Tiandou City right now."

Tang Yuehua was a little surprised by Dugu Bo's sudden arrival.

Upon hearing that Di Hong was not in Tiandou City, Dugu Bo opened his eyes. His emerald eyes showed no expression at all.

"He said he would wait for me in Tiandou City, but when I arrived, he wasn't there."

He had struggled and thought before coming to Tiandou Empire to find Di Hong. To be honest, he was used to freedom and really didn't want to come. What he hated most was being restricted in his freedom. In his opinion, the people of Di Hong and other kingdoms recruited him just to do something shameful.

But not long ago, his son was poisoned again, and the extreme pain forced him to think about whether he wanted to be free or to keep his son healthy. Dugu Xin's poison was much more potent than his, and he had been poisoned since his mother's womb.

It was also because of this that his wife died of complications during childbirth of Dugu Xin, which was a lifelong pain for him.

"He usually practices in the Sunset Forest and hates being disturbed." Tang Yuehua said. Although Dugu Bo is a loner and has extraordinary strength, he did not show an aggressive attitude towards Tang Yuehua today, nor did he use his power to intimidate her.

He is a loner, but not a fool. Tang Yuehua has a special relationship with Di Hong, and she is also the daughter of Haotian Sect.

"Forget it. I'll leave first. When he comes back, please send someone to the hotel in Tiandou City to inform me."

After saying that, he was about to leave with Dugu Xin, but Tang Yuehua hurriedly stopped him.

"Senior Dugu is an honored guest. How can Yuehua let an honored guest live outside?"

"If you don't mind, you can take your son to live in the Marquis' Mansion first. When Di Hong comes back, you can see him directly."

"Okay." Dugu Bo did not act pretentiously. Tang Yuehua immediately arranged for someone to arrange the best room for them father and son so that they could stay there.

Tang Yuehua did not treat them poorly and arranged the best for them because she knew that they would most likely become Di Hong's own people.

Looking at the father and son, Tang Yuehua couldn't help but wonder if she could become Di Hong's own.
