Apart from Guo Feng and Ye Ning, there was no one else here.

Even Guo Kang and the others were taken away by the Empress when she left.

Guo Feng looked at Ye Ning and smiled: "Although today was a bit risky and different from what I expected, the result is the same."

Ye Ning shook her head: "It's different."

"How so?" Guo Feng asked.

Ye Ning said, "The Chaos Empire knew before that you sent the two envoys, Tai Luo and Luo Su, but now that they have disappeared, they will probably eventually come after you."

"Furthermore, we don't know what Hua Shangyue did with the Imperial Brother-in-law and the two envoys."

"But I always felt that it was definitely not a good thing."

She paused for a moment, then said, "I feel that she, like the Emperor's brother-in-law, probably doesn't want to go to the Chaos Empire and wants to stay in the Flame Sun Empire."

"even."

She thought for a moment, "I think she probably has a bigger plan."

"What are you plotting?"

Guo Feng had actually thought of this as well, because it seemed that the Empress had anticipated all of this.

Moreover, the strength that the Empress displayed today is clearly far beyond the limit of the ninth rank and ninth level.

She is simply unfathomable.

Moreover, the artifacts, information, and resources he possesses are beyond Guo Feng's current knowledge.

Ye Ning shook her head: "I don't know about that. Perhaps she wants to follow in the footsteps of the Immortal Emperor Haotian and become an Immortal Emperor herself? I don't know."

"Very likely."

Guo Feng thought for a moment and then said, "However, the first thing she needs to confront now is the Celestial Monitoring Instrument of the Chaos Immortal Realm, because she is, after all, under the rule of the Chaos Immortal Realm."

As he spoke, he waved his hand, "However, let's not think about these things for now. Instead, let's focus on improving our strength. I didn't expect that even after reaching the limit of the ninth rank and ninth level, our strength still seems insufficient. This Empress is truly hiding her true power!"

"She is indeed much better than me."

Ye Ning sighed.

"Alright, let's go back to Guo Wang City."

Guo Feng waved his hand, then looked speechless. "When the Empress left, she took Guo Kang with her. How am I supposed to get my hands on the treasures of Guo Wang City?"

He shook his head. "Never mind, I'll ask her for it later."

As they talked, they returned together to Guo Wang City.

At this moment, the battle at Guo Wangcheng was also nearing its end.

Without Guo Kang, Guo Wangcheng's army quickly collapsed, and many generals began to surrender.

When Guo Feng and his group returned, the battle was quickly over.

Guo Wangcheng's men breathed a sigh of relief.

The cleanup of the entire battlefield took a considerable amount of time, and it wasn't until nightfall that everything finally quieted down.

Guo Feng's army also camped outside Guo Wang City.

Guo Feng received all the officials of the Guo Prince's Mansion in the main hall of this grand mansion, which resembled an inner city.

These officials were also very wary of Guo Feng.

Guo Feng also used his skills to understand these people's psychology, making them quite afraid of him.

Afterwards, he rested in the city for one night.

The next day, the deputy city lord summoned the city lords of the major cities and large cities to an audience.

Because the major cities are quite far from the capital.

Therefore, it wasn't until the third day that Guo Feng formally received the city lords of these royal cities and major cities.

He was in the main hall, and hundreds of people below paid homage to him.

Loyalty to each and every one of them.

This scene quite excited him.

The lords of each royal city and major city brought many gifts as a token of their greetings.

They dared not be stingy with the gifts they presented to the new city lord.

However, in their view, the mighty Wind King certainly didn't lack spirit stones.

Therefore, the gifts given were all extremely valuable semi-immortal stones, top-grade attribute gems, large quantities of high-quality pills, and precious armor.

The numerous gifts were mostly brought in by horse-drawn carriages.

Guo Feng didn't stand on ceremony and directly stored all these priceless treasures in his own space.

Then, he also hosted a banquet for the city lords of the main city and major cities, as well as representatives of the top twenty families in the Guo Wang City region.

In short, it was as if an earthquake had struck the upper echelons of the entire Guo Wang City.

This turmoil lasted until the seventh day.

During these seven days, Guo Feng also met with many people and handled a lot of matters.

He gained the loyalty of countless people.

Of course, he also understood that these were just words.

But over the course of those seven days, he also experienced the allure of power.

November 10th.

The main hall of the city lord's mansion in Guo Wang City.

"I have finally sorted everything out. Qinwang City and Guowang City, two large cities with a total area of ​​200,000 li, are now under my management."

"Moreover, this way I can also extend China's technological capabilities here."

"Then, it would be a good thing to allow both sides to trade and benefit each other."

"However, I still need to get what the Empress wants."

"Also, what exactly is this Nine Heavens Heavenly Mansion?"

What kind of existence is the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm?

"After I awaken my bloodline, will I be able to open the Nine Heavens Mansion?"

"Empress, is it really true, as she says, that all she wants are those things?"

Guo Feng sat in the hall, deep in thought.

In fact, he wasn't entirely sure about the Empress's true intentions.

In the past seven days, he has not seen anyone from the Chaos Empire come looking for him.

This suggests that the Chaos Empire did not seem to have detected anything unusual.

How did you do that?
