Yanshan City is tens of thousands of miles away from the Lieyang Mountain region.
Even the Qiongqi (a mythical creature) needs to fly for two or three hours.
The journey involves traversing many mountains and rivers.
Guo Feng and the three others sat on Qiongqi's back, creating an somewhat awkward atmosphere.
Guo Feng broke the silence, looking at Yang Cuo and asking, "By the way, do you know about the Empress's plan to find a husband? I heard about it when I came out of the clan a few days ago. How far along is it now?"
"The Empress is seeking a husband..."
Upon hearing this, Yang Cuo raised an eyebrow and glanced at Guo Feng again.
But he couldn't help but think that this young master from the Guo clan in front of him seemed to be quite young.
Another eighth-rank expert.
This person can be considered a genius among geniuses.
They come from an ancient family!
Although she was domineering and arrogant, the Empress's purpose in seeking a husband was to find a force she could cooperate with.
Add to that a powerful son-in-law of the emperor.
Strictly speaking, this person is indeed a strong contender.
If he becomes the emperor's son-in-law, wouldn't the entire empire be thrown into chaos by him?
The thought only crossed his mind in an instant, but Yang Cuo knew that Guo Feng was powerful and he dared not provoke him.
Therefore, the only thing to tell them was: "The Empress has issued a proclamation to seek a husband for the entire empire."
"The condition is that the person must be under 100 years old."
"Cultivation level of the seventh grade, first level or above."
"One must have a family background of at least a third-rank royal family or a sect."
"Or, commoners under fifty years old with a cultivation level of Rank 9, Level 1 or above."
He paused for a moment, then added, “Of course, anyone under fifty years old who is at least a ninth-rank official cannot be a commoner.”
"Yes, she is the Empress, so this condition is indeed reasonable."
Guo Feng said calmly.
It was as if he didn't take the Empress seriously at all.
In reality, however, he was calculating this information in his mind.
A noble family of the third rank.
There are also sects.
These should be the power structure of the Chaos Continent, or rather, the Flaming Sun Empire.
It should be a combination of royalty, nobles, clans, and commoners.
He then asked, "Approximately when will it begin?"
"In twenty days, a martial arts competition will be held in the capital to select the top ten prodigies, and then the palace examination will be held."
"Three days after the palace examination, the Empress's choice will be announced."
As Yang Cuo spoke, he looked at Guo Feng and said, "Young Master Guo, with your extraordinary talent, you shouldn't miss this opportunity, right?"
"Oh!"
Guo Feng chuckled, "I've only heard of the Empress, never seen her. Who knows if she's pretty or not? If she is, of course I'll participate; if she's not, I'll pass."
"ah?!"
Yang Cuo and the others were stunned.
In this entire world, Guo Feng is probably the only one who dares to speak ill of the Empress like this.
This frightened them so much that they didn't dare to respond.
For a moment, they fell silent again.
Guo Feng just smiled; anyway, he already knew what he wanted.
Next, we'll go to Yanshan City and sell the Blazing Sun Stone!
If you can make a profit, then make a profit.
After that, I went to the capital to join in the fun.
Firstly, to gather some intelligence.
Secondly, it would be best if we could abduct the Empress.
About three hours later.
Guo Feng then saw a huge city-state appear before Qiongqi.
At first glance, this so-called 'city' was beyond his understanding of what an ancient city was like.
Ancient cities were mostly the same size as the inner city of Anshi.
The city of Yanshan before them was larger than the city of Rong, where Guo Feng was located.
The area extends east-west and north-south, and is likely close to 200 square kilometers.
In other words, this so-called 'Yanshan City' covers a total area of 40,000 square kilometers.
This surpasses any city Guo Feng knows on Earth.
Moreover, the entire Yanshan City is still surrounded by city walls.
It can be considered as having a built-up area of 40,000 square kilometers.
Although it doesn't have the high density of buildings like Chengdu, it should be able to accommodate tens of millions of people without any problem.
"If a major city in a remote area like Yanshan City is this big, how big must the royal city and the imperial city be?"
Guo Feng felt a sense of shock.
Of course, he didn't show it.
He also discovered that the massive Yanshan City was surrounded by a semi-transparent barrier.
The barrier originated from a formation on the city wall.
This makes the entire Yanshan City difficult to invade from outside, and also prevents people from easily sneaking in.
Outside the entire city of Yanshan, there is a moat that is tens of kilometers wide.
Even this moat is extremely magnificent.
A large bridge spanning tens of kilometers was built across each of the four city walls, in the east, west, south, and north directions.
The bridge is extremely wide, comparable to an eight-lane dual carriageway on Earth.
The bridge was bustling with traffic, and although it wasn't crowded, there was a steady stream of vehicles and people coming and going.
Guo Feng also knew that the closer they got to Yanshan City, the more towns and clan territories they encountered along the way.
Guo Feng had previously learned this from Yang Cuo and Yan Shanfeng.
The entire population under the jurisdiction of Yanshan City is over 100 million.
There are thousands of towns and villages of varying sizes.
"Master, when we reach the city moat bridge, we will stop and enter the city gate according to the rules."
The ancient Qiongqi is still flying at an extremely fast speed.
The once distant Yanshan City was getting closer and closer, and it looked more and more magnificent.
At this moment, Lieyang Taiyun quickly reminded him.
"What would happen if I just barged in?"
Although Guo Feng was impressed by the prosperity of Yanshan City, he was here to cause trouble.
Naturally, there's no such thing as hiding one's abilities and biding one's time.
