What makes you think that?
Guo Feng did not answer directly, but instead smiled and looked at Yan Shan Xinghe.
The other party didn't believe him from the start.
However, he also sensed that Yan Shan Xinghe didn't seem to harbor much hostility towards him.
The only thing he could sense was that Yan Shan Xinghe was plotting and scheming something.
"Because my real name is Guo Xinghe."
Yan Shan Xinghe smiled and said, "And I myself come from the ancient Guo clan! I witnessed the destruction of the ancient Guo clan with my own eyes, what do you think?"
"What?"
Guo Feng raised an eyebrow.
This was something he hadn't expected at all.
Could it really be such a coincidence?
Yan Shan Xinghe said, "I know your surname is Guo, but you are not from Guo Wangcheng. Therefore, I know that you are definitely not from the Chaos Continent, or at least not from the Yan Yang Empire."
He paused for a moment, then said, “But don’t be too nervous. I don’t care where you’re from. Even if you’re from the Blackwater Empire, our mortal enemy, I don’t care.”
He looked at Guo Feng and said, "Because even if my Yanshan City belongs to Qinwang City, and Qinwang City belongs to Yanyang Imperial Capital, it is just a subordinate relationship."
"They only need me to provide a certain amount of resources each year, and when it comes to a real war, I can send troops there."
"Even if I reach the ninth rank, I don't want to take up a post in the royal city or the imperial capital."
"but."
"The empire is powerful and has established this rule, which I have no choice but to abide by."
He continued, "So, I'm telling you this very sincerely in the hope that you won't be too wary of me. To be honest, even if you're from the Land of Forgotten Sins, as long as you don't have designs on my Flame Mountain City, I won't interfere."
"oh……"
While listening to Yan Shanxinghe's words, Guo Feng was thinking rapidly.
First, what Yan Shan Xinghe said may not be true.
Secondly, if what he said is true, then the overall structure of the Yanyang Empire is like a federal system or the feudal system of the Zhou Dynasty.
Third, Yan Shan Xinghe must have his own schemes.
Fourth, the empire has a rule that those who have reached the ninth rank cannot hold office in fiefdoms below the main city.
This is likely intended to weaken the top-tier strength below the main city.
As a result, they didn't rebel!
He smiled and looked at Yan Shan Xinghe. "What's the purpose of telling me all this?"
"I will restore the glory of the Guo clan, I will establish myself as king, and at the very least, I will turn my Yanshan City into a royal city!"
Yan Shan Xinghe looked at Guo Feng and said earnestly.
This is something that most people in the entire Yanyang Empire wouldn't dare to say.
Because this is a plot to rebel.
If a rebellion breaks out, troops will be immediately dispatched from the capital and the royal city to suppress it.
Their entire family, including nine generations, will be slaughtered!
Even Guo Feng, a modern man, understands this.
He was somewhat surprised.
Yan Shan Xinghe seemed truly certain that Guo Feng was not a member of the Yan Yang Empire.
Guo Feng then asked, "The glory of the Guo clan? What glory?"
"You are indeed not a member of the ancient Guo clan!"
Yan Shan Xinghe smiled; he knew that everything was within his expectations.
He then explained, "My Guo clan was once one of the five strongest clans on the Chaos Continent—note, not the Yan Yang Empire, but the entire continent!"
"Countless millions of years ago, my Guo clan's ancestor was a powerful figure who controlled the Dao of Space, an existence infinitely close to the god level!"
"He was respectfully called the God of Space by the people of that time!"
"However, later, something happened, and he plundered the cultivation techniques of all the families on the Chaos Continent. He then led his group of people, broke through the spatial barrier, and headed to the Land of Forgotten Sins!"
"After that, the entire Chaos Continent rapidly declined."
"The remaining members of the Guo clan were attacked by a joint force of other families."
"Gradually, the Guo clan became an ancient clan of the Yanyang Empire."
"And just a few hundred years ago, someone prophesied that the Land of Forgotten Sins would be opened, and the secret to opening it lies with the Guo clan."
"All the powerful families, in order to find the ancient cultivation techniques that were lost back then, have all pointed their spearhead at the Guo family."
"In the end, my Guo clan was almost completely wiped out."
"It was just me, and a few others, who hid our identities and endured the hardship."
Yan Shanxinghe became more and more excited as he spoke, “My grandfather, my father, and my mother all died in front of me. They told me to live well and revive the Guo clan.”
"so!"
He stared at Guo Feng, "I want to revive the Guo clan, I want to establish myself as king! But I also need your help!"
"this……"
Guo Feng was completely bewildered, as if he were listening to gibberish.
However, he did seem to have heard before that there was a God of Space in the Spirit Realm.
If it's true.
That God of Space in the Spirit Realm is the leader of all spirit realms.
His surname is Guo?
Is it really that much of a coincidence?
However, although he was curious, this happened countless tens of thousands of years ago.
A conclusion cannot be reached in the short term.
He then looked at Yan Shan Xinghe, "So how do you want me to help you?"
He paused for a moment, then asked, "Or rather, how do we cooperate?"
"Become the Empress's son-in-law!"
Yan Shan Xinghe got straight to the point, "With your talent, and your cultivation at the eighth or ninth level in your teens, you are bound to win the Empress's favor."
"I can tell you that the Empress's situation is similar to mine."
"She is the first female emperor in the empire's thousands of years of history."
"She was able to compete with dozens of princes back then entirely because of her three uncles who were of the ninth rank!"
"And now, two of her three uncles have broken through to the ninth rank and reached the immortal level, and have been taken away by the envoys of the Chaos Empire."
"Her other uncle, who is also her only support now, has also reached the ninth level of the ninth rank and will soon be heading to the Chaos Empire."
He smiled and said, "This is also why the Empress is in such a hurry to find a son-in-law."
"oh!"
Guo Feng immediately understood.
If the empress wants to consolidate her position, she must either win over a powerful force.
Alternatively, you could get a strong and capable wife.
It seems that the Yan Yang Empire is also rife with infighting and turmoil!
This is good news for him.
The more chaotic the other side is, the less likely it is to cause trouble for others.
However, he then looked at Yan Shan Xinghe and asked, "Why must I be taken away by the Chaos Empire after breaking through to the Immortal Rank? What kind of place is the Chaos Empire?"
"You really are from the Land of Sin!"
Yan Shan Xinghe's gaze sharpened.
