Guo Feng and his group entered the imperial palace.
Hao Yi and his nine personal guards were outside Hua Shang Palace when Guo Feng, Hua Shangyue, and Nan Liru entered the main hall of Hua Shang Palace.
With a wave of her hand, Hua Shangyue set up another barrier.
Then, she looked at Guo Feng and said, "Guo Feng, I have to admit that your progress has exceeded my expectations and makes me very wary."
"Unless you have ulterior motives towards me, why should you be afraid of me?"
Guo Feng smiled and asked in return.
"I am wary of everyone who is not under my control."
Hua Shangyue replied, then added, "However, things have already developed to this point, so we have no choice but to cooperate."
"It's not a collaboration."
Guo Feng shook his head, "It's me who will help you."
Hua Shangyue frowned.
Guo Feng's domineering attitude clearly made her somewhat uncomfortable.
Guo Feng completely ignored her reaction and continued, "You're too fickle, and I don't trust you. I'll give you one last chance."
"Tell me your true strength, your true purpose. Do you want to use me to destroy the Chaos Empire?"
As he spoke, his gaze sharpened. "Think carefully before you speak. Once I find out you've lied to me, you'll never have another chance."
"you--"
Hua Shangyue was extremely uncomfortable with Guo Feng's tough attitude.
She was, after all, an empress.
He is revered by hundreds of millions of people.
However, when she saw Guo Feng's eyes, she took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I'll tell you the truth. I'm also a tenth-grade cultivator, and I've been one for several years now."
"My real purpose is to preserve the Yan Yang Empire, because I recently received intelligence that the Xuanbing Empire and the Fengzhi Empire are inciting the royal family of the Chaos Empire in an attempt to divide up my Yan Yang Empire."
She paused for a moment, then said, "Moreover, I have heard that my father and mother have died in the Chaos Empire. I want to borrow your great potential to go with me to the Chaos Empire to investigate the situation of my father and mother."
“What if they really die?” Guo Feng asked again.
Hua Shangyue's eyes narrowed, and a murderous intent flared up: "Then I will make them pay for their crimes in blood."
"Okay, there are two more questions."
Guo Feng looked at Hua Shangyue and held up his index finger. "First, why weren't you taken away by the envoys of the Chaos Empire even though you've reached the tenth rank? What's your backing?"
"You're asking a question you already know the answer to."
Hua Shangyue sneered, "Of course it's because of the Heavenly King Cauldron. My Heavenly King Cauldron can conceal the Heavenly Monitoring Instrument and can also refine the special aura of the Chaos Law, making it impossible for them to detect my true situation."
She paused for a moment, then said, "My reliance is, of course, the Heavenly Refining Cauldron and the spirit of this divine artifact, the Heavenly Refining Fairy!"
As she spoke, she waved her hand, "Fairy of Refining Heaven, come out."
"Alright, Guo Feng, I've seen you several times now. You seem to have an aura about you that even I'm wary of. What is it? The Nine Heavens Tower?"
The next moment, a phantom appeared behind Hua Shangyue.
But it was the powerful figure who had been behind Hua Shangyue before.
It was actually the spirit of the Heavenly King Cauldron!
"So it was you!"
Guo Feng raised an eyebrow. This Celestial Refiner seemed to have a very strong aura, but also appeared somewhat strange.
He couldn't say anything for a moment.
However, I also sensed that this Celestial Refiner was unfathomable.
He then fell silent, showing no intention of answering the Fairy of Refining Heaven's question.
"Oh."
Seeing this, Hua Shangyue didn't press further, but instead said, "And the second question?"
"The second question."
Guo Feng extended his middle finger again, "I'm now at the tenth rank of strength. I want you to marry me. Will you agree?"
"ah?!"
Hua Shangyue was shocked by this sudden question.
She stared blankly at Guo Feng. "Are you threatening me?"
"Have you forgotten what you said before?"
As Guo Feng spoke, he took a step forward, his gaze sharpening. "I'll only ask you, will you agree or not?"
"you……"
Hua Shangyue did say something like that, but she wasn't entirely sure.
It's just a possibility!
But now, Guo Feng is putting such pressure on him.
For a moment, she didn't know how to answer.
She took a deep breath. "Give me some time to think about it."
"Can."
Guo Feng nodded, "But I need an answer tomorrow."
"good."
Hua Shangyue stared intently at Guo Feng, unable to understand what he was thinking.
Was he really after her beauty?
Or was it love at first sight?
Or perhaps, what are they plotting?
Guo Feng then said, "Also, we have a deal. Are you interested?"
"explain."
Hua Shangyue waved her hand.
"Would you be interested in exchanging the Fire Phoenix Relic in your hand for the Heaven-Refining Vermilion Jade in mine?"
As Guo Feng spoke, he opened his palm.
An aura emanating from a furnace emanated from his fingertips.
This was clearly coming from the Nine Heavens Tower.
This is the Heavenly Jade that Hua Shangyue has been longing for.
She originally wanted to exchange Guo Wangcheng, Qin Wangcheng, and the treasures she had with Guo Feng.
It was something very important to her.
"You don't want Guo Wangcheng and Qin Wangcheng anymore?" Hua Shangyue raised an eyebrow.
Guo Feng chuckled: "When you go back on your word and send Zhao Xing and the others to the Chinese mainland, I will not be able to return Guo Wang City and Qin Wang City to you. If you want them, you can send troops to attack them."
"you--"
Hua Shangyue was once again angered by Guo Feng's domineering attitude.
She was a powerful empress.
This is the first time in all these years that I have been so forcefully coerced.
