Chapter 162: Fengguo Merger, Unexpected Visitors
In the demon department, Zhou An flew in front of the Marshal's Mansion, and the guards immediately saluted and shouted in unison: "Your Highness."
Zhou An walked into the Marshal's Mansion. The Ten Thousand Demon King inside heard the noise outside and rushed out. Seeing Zhou An finally coming, he said with joy, "Brother, you are finally out of seclusion. The Nine Heavens Tribulation is coming. I feel it will happen in these few days."
"Don't worry. Heitian and I will be there to protect you. You will definitely survive the nine-fold heavenly tribulation. I'll take care of everything," Zhou An said.
"Thank you, brother." The King of Ten Thousand Demons felt relieved after hearing Zhou An's words.
"You can't call me big brother for nothing, right? I'll give you this top-grade fairy treasure, the God-Slaying Bell. With this treasure, you can be safe in the Battle of the Gods." Zhou An stretched out his hand, and with a flash of light, a mini bronze bell appeared in his palm and was handed to him.
The Ten Thousand Demon King had fairy treasures, but they were all of low quality. Top-quality fairy treasures were hard to come by and were extremely powerful. He was overjoyed after receiving them, and said with some emotion: "Thank you, big brother. I..."
Zhou An laughed loudly, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Do you and I need to do this? Master this treasure before the heavenly calamity."
"Yes, by the way, big brother, Heitian and the others have already perfected the Eight Desolate Divine Fire Formation. Its power now will definitely surprise you. I guarantee that if we fight against Master Yufeng again, we will definitely be able to defeat him." The Ten Thousand Demons King said.
"Okay, this way, we will have enough cards in our hands for the Battle of the Gods. Let's all take a rest for the next two days. The day after tomorrow is the New Year, and the Feng Kingdom will be annexed. Then we will all celebrate together and not go home until we are drunk." Zhou An said.
"Understood. I will definitely give the order." said the King of Ten Thousand Demons.
Afterwards, Zhou An asked the King of Ten Thousand Demons to refine the God-Dangling Bell, while he left to sign in. The Queen and his brothers were enough to take care of state affairs, so he had been in seclusion during this period and had not signed in.
On the New Year's Day, the motorcade of the Queen of Feng Kingdom and several important officials set out from the embassy. They were protected by the imperial guards all the way, and both sides of the street were filled with people watching.
The news of Feng State being incorporated into Qianyuan had spread a few days ago, and the whole country was buzzing with news. Even some neighboring countries were worried about it.
Qianyuan has suddenly become a behemoth in the past two years, reaching a height that ordinary countries can hardly reach, causing concern among neighboring countries.
The incorporation of Feng State was like a lit fuse, making these countries fear that Qianyuan would annex them. Once this idea emerged, it became uncontrollable and even spread to the big countries in other states.
Zhou An completely ignored all this. War with these countries was inevitable, even if these countries didn't want to fight.
Shenyin would use all kinds of methods to make the emperor start a war, whether it was coercion, inducement, or seduction with beauty, or even control with illusion, or possession, to directly kill the emperor and replace him with an obedient one, using every possible means, and the mortal emperor would be unable to resist.
Zhou An understood all of this and truly realized why Emperor Qianyuan had to practice immortal cultivation. Ordinary emperors were like ants in front of these powerful people. Even True Man Cangming saw this situation when he went to Yulan Fairy Island.
When the Feng Kingdom convoy arrived at the Kaiyuan Gate of the Imperial Palace, Zhou Yang personally led the imperial guards to open the gate to welcome them, riding a tall horse to lead the way.
After arriving at Kaiyuan Square, the convoy stopped. Feng Wanxi, wearing a colorful phoenix robe, a golden thunderbird crown on her head, and all the Nine Phoenix magic treasures on her body, got out of the car. Zhou Yang personally stepped forward to support her. The two smiled at each other and walked up to Qianyuan Hall together.
Behind him were Feng Wanxi's eight personal bodyguards, and several high-ranking officials of the Feng Kingdom followed closely behind.
Walking into the Qianyuan Hall, Zhou An was sitting on the throne, with the Queen and Lady Baihua sitting on both sides.
They moved forward under the gaze of the Purple-Robed Guards, all of whom were at the Innate Realm, a total of one hundred of them, and each of them exuded the true Qi fluctuations of the Innate Realm.
Not to mention the generals of the demon tribe and Master Cangming, the ancestor emperor of the Canglong Empire.
The officials of Feng County were worried, and they understood why the queen wanted to join Qianyuan. Those bigwigs were all serving as officials here, and any one of them could overthrow Feng County.
The officials of Feng Kingdom were so shocked that they secretly wondered if the Qianyuan Empire was still a human country. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was an empire of immortal cultivators.
In fact, it was not just them. Princess Xiao Ruying of the Canglong Empire was also there. Watching all this, her heart was in turmoil. It was the first time she truly saw Qian Yuan's strength. She was deeply worried about the Canglong Empire. If the two countries went to war, there would be no comparison at all.
After Feng Wanxi walked into the lobby, Zhou Yang bowed and reported to her, but Zhou An suddenly showed a surprised expression. With his spiritual eyes, he saw that one of the guards behind Feng Wanxi was not human.
He possesses extremely astonishing Hades True Essence, which is much larger than his own. Even the members of the Hidden God are far inferior to him in terms of such astonishing True Essence.
At this time, Shangguan Rong beside him whispered, "Your Majesty."
Zhou An nodded and asked the left prime minister Zhou Di to read the imperial edict in person. Feng State was merged into Qianyuan and renamed Feng County. Feng Wanxi became the county magistrate, and was promised to be treated equally with the people of Qianyuan.
And the results will be announced immediately to the whole country.
The moment this order was issued, Zhou An felt a force of the Imperial Way merging into his body, which actually caused his Imperial Way Heavenly Book, which had not made any progress for a long time, to make some progress.
"Expanding territory can enhance the power of the Imperial Way!" Zhou An was secretly surprised. He finally found a way to enhance the Imperial Way Book.
At this time, Feng Wanxi and the officials of Feng County expressed their gratitude. Zhou An calmly asked them to take their seats, and Zhou Di then announced the start of the New Year banquet.
He suddenly said, "Right Prime Minister, Feng Wanxi, Lady Baihua, Mi Luo, and Old Bai, follow me to the side hall. I have something to tell you. Feng Wanxi, you can bring the guards behind you."
Zhou An's behavior puzzled everyone. Shangguan Rong immediately spoke on behalf of the emperor, "Feng Wanxi and the Right Prime Minister are already husband and wife, but they did not hold a wedding in the Qianyuan Empire. The emperor is preparing to hold a formal wedding for them, so naturally he needs to discuss the issue of betrothal gifts."
Hearing this, the officials of Feng County were all happy, as it also showed that the emperor valued them.

Before coming here, they were still a bit arrogant, after all, they were all ministers of a country. But after entering the hall, they saw that all their arrogance was gone when they saw the people here. They were already grateful to be treated equally.
Feng Wanxi glanced at Zhou Yang, and the two of them stood up and followed him, followed closely by the eight guards.
After entering the side hall, Zhou An asked the purple-clothed guards to seal off the main hall and set up a barrier, which surprised Feng Wanxi and made her secretly nervous.
But if Zhou An wanted to deal with him, there was no need to go to such great lengths. Moreover, Zhou Yang also looked confused and slightly nervous, which meant that he didn't know about this either.
"Right Prime Minister and County Magistrate Feng, don't worry. I called you here because of this guard." Zhou An looked at the guard behind Feng Wanxi and said calmly.
Everyone was surprised and looked at this man. The guard smiled and walked forward under the surprised gazes of others.
"Lan Feng! What are you doing?" Feng Wanxi asked with a frown.
The guard took off his helmet and threw it aside, then took off his armor and threw it away, revealing a white robe, and then a grayish-white mist appeared on his body and covered his entire body.
The guards around Feng Wanxi immediately surrounded Feng Wanxi and Zhou Yang and retreated behind Zhou An and Hua Wu Yue.
Miro and Bai Lao stepped forward with weapons in hand. They both sensed the terrifying fluctuations of each other's true energy.
The mist dissipated, and in front of them appeared a woman who was so beautiful that even Hua Wu Yue felt inferior to her. She was dressed in white with some feather textures on it. Her manners were graceful and she looked like a natural queen.
A pair of eyes like autumn water and thick, soft hair draped over the shoulders, one look at them makes people tremble with fear and unable to extricate themselves.
But such a woman actually had a deep breath of death around her, giving people a sense of beauty and death like spring breeze.
"The Underworld?" Zhou An asked.
Bai Lao said in surprise: "The chief of the Baiyu tribe, Bai Yijun!"
The woman was slightly surprised, and smiled and said, "After more than three thousand years, there are still people who recognize me. I didn't expect that there are still people from the White Ape Tribe alive. That's good."
She looked at Zhou An and said, "Emperor Qianyuan, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of the Shenyin leader, I can only resort to this last resort. Please forgive me. This guard is sleeping in an inn in Qianjing."
