309: Legend of Chaos Empire
Yanshan Star River then waved his hand and said with a smile, “However, as I said before, this is not important to me.”
“Even!”
He paused, looking at Guo Feng, “To the Empress, this is not important either!”
He then explained, “Chaos Continent is boundless, and we know of ten empires surrounding a central continent.”
“This central continent is called the Chaotic Empire.”
“There is a huge barrier between the Ten Great Empires and the Chaotic Empire, and without permission, crew cannot approach.”
“The Chaotic Empire has a method to detect experts of the ninth-grade ninth-level in the Ten Great Empires.”
“Once this expert breaks through to the Immortal Rank, an envoy immediately appears and takes him away.”
“This envoy is extremely strong, and no one can resist him.”
He then said, “Perhaps, it is precisely because of this reason that the empire has a system where ninth-grade experts must go to the royal city or imperial capital.”
“I probably understand.”
Guo Feng had not responded to Yanshan Star River’s words.
He neither admitted nor denied that he was from Huaguo.
He smiled and said, “Do you mean that I should become the Empress’s dragon son-in-law, and then help you fight to upgrade the main city to a royal city, declaring yourself king?”
“Not just that.”
Yanshan Star River shook his head, “I want to become an independent kingdom, not subject to the empire’s enfeoffment. Of course, I can be a vassal state, paying tribute annually, or even pledging a hostage.”
“Hmm.”
Guo Feng completely understood Yanshan Star River’s plan.
For him, cooperating with Yanshan Star River was the best option.
If Yanshan City became independent, Huaguo could directly negotiate with Yanshan Star River.
They could even establish diplomatic relations.
However, there was one problem.
He was to become the Yan Yang Empire’s dragon son-in-law?
Why did it feel strange?
He looked at Yanshan Star River again, “Even so, what can you help me with?”
Yanshan Star River looked at Guo Feng: “Let’s start from the beginning!”
“First, you are from the Land of Sins, but your failure to invade on a large scale indicates that you do not have Immortal Rank experts.”
“This way, crew will not suffer too much threat.”
“So, crew can coexist peacefully.”
“Of course, this is just my personal opinion. In the empire, there are some people who highly advocate force, so it would definitely be different for them.”
“Moreover, the Land of Sins has many of our cultivation methods. Once they find out, you should be able to imagine how severe the consequences would be!”
“And I hope to obtain some cultivation methods through trade or negotiation.”
He paused, “So, there is a lot of room for cooperation between us.”
“Hmm, continue.”
Guo Feng had to admit that Yanshan Star River was a very smart person who knew how to negotiate.
Yanshan Star River smiled and said, “Second, the Empress’s recruitment of a dragon son-in-law is not just her personal matter, but a matter for the entire empire.”
“And those with ulterior motives in the empire will inevitably obstruct or secretly manipulate.”
“As someone with an unknown identity, you don’t even have the qualifications to participate.”
“And I can give you an identity through the connections of Guo Wang City.”
He finally added, “So, crew can completely reach a consensus and cooperate together, how about it?”
“How can I trust you?”
Guo Feng stared at Yanshan Star River.
“You are powerful, so even if I deceive you, it won’t cause you much trouble.”
Yanshan Star River shrugged, “Of course, all of this requires you to make your own decision.”
He added, “To be honest, both the Empress and I happen to need help from an external expert or force, which is why I chose to tell you all this.”
He paused, “Oh, by the way, in two days, the people from Guo Wang City should arrive. If you agree to cooperate with me, I can tell him that you are one of my sons and need a Guo Clan identity.”
“Son?”
Guo Feng raised an eyebrow.
Yanshan Star River smiled and said, “This is just a statement to the Guo Clan, and besides, I’m hundreds of years old, so in terms of age, it’s perfectly consistent, right?”
“A temporary measure is fine, but if you keep saying it, don’t blame me for being impolite.”
Guo Feng said indifferently, “Since you are willing to cooperate, then let’s cooperate.”
“Alright, I’ll go prepare.”
Yanshan Star River finished speaking and walked out.
Soon after, Yan Mountain Fu walked in and greeted Guo Feng with utmost respect and high-level hospitality.
Then, he took Guo Feng to visit the authentic works of the ancient painting saint.
When there was no one around.
Yan Mountain Fu asked, “Young Master Guo, what you said this afternoon, was it true?”
“That’s right.”
Guo Feng nodded, “I can support you to become the heir of Yanshan City, but what can you give me?”
He did not fully trust Yanshan Star River either.
Therefore, he still needed to make some arrangements with Yan Mountain Fu.
Moreover, since ancient times, most rebels have not had good endings.
Despite Yanshan Star River’s impassioned appearance, the probability of failure is greater if he truly rebels.
Perhaps, he might even be eliminated before he even starts to rebel.
Therefore, if he could control Yan Mountain Fu and make him a reserve city lord, that would also be good.
Yan Mountain Fu thought for a moment, then cupped his hands: “I don’t own much, but precisely because I don’t own much, once I become the city lord, I will still have to rely on you, Young Master Guo.”
“Therefore!”
He said with a serious face, “I am willing to share the power and benefits of this city lord with you, Young Master Guo, and I can even make a written pledge as proof!”
“If that’s the case, then it’s not impossible for me to consider.”
Guo Feng listened and nodded.
If a pledge was made, and Yan Mountain Fu ever went back on his word, he could directly present this evidence, expose Yan Mountain Fu’s affairs, or even execute him with valid reasons.
Yan Mountain Fu immediately took out a specially made animal hide and wrote his oath on it, stating that after he became the city lord with Guo Feng’s help, he would share the power and benefits of the city lord with Guo Feng.
Then, he affixed his great seal.
He also directly imprinted his spiritual imprint on it.
Afterward, he gave this pledge to Guo Feng.
After Guo Feng received it, he looked at Yan Mountain Fu and said, “Good, from today onwards, I’ll cover you. In two days, I’ll have your father announce you as the reserve city lord. If anyone troubles you and you can’t handle it, I’ll help you find someone to deal with him!”
“Good, thank you, Young Master Guo!”
Yan Mountain Fu was overjoyed!
He immediately bowed to Guo Feng.
Yan Mountain Fu was actually over a hundred years old.
However, having cultivated to this extent, being over a hundred years old was still just a youth.
“Alright, I’m leaving first.”
Guo Feng finished speaking, and with a flash, he directly left Yan Mountain Fu’s residence.
He arrived above Yanshan City.
He flipped his hand and took out a Small Teleportation Talisman: “Although it’s a bit expensive, I must go find Old Li and the crew tonight to discuss this. This matter is quite significant, and not keeping in touch with them is not an option!”
As he spoke, he used the Small Teleportation Talisman and teleported towards the direction of Huaxia!
This time, he had gained a lot.
Shouldn’t he go back and have a good talk with Old Li and the crew?
