One attribute point per second, I am invincible!

"I'm just kidding. Thousands of strange beasts disappeared all at once. Zhang Qianfeng turned into a corpse after being pointed at. Aren't you afraid?"

Lin Mu muttered.

Li Changqing heard his muttering and smiled: "Don't worry, the Governor is very cruel to strange beasts, but he is also kind to people, as long as he is not a rebellious guy like Zhang Qianfeng!"

"What are you thinking about in your head every day?"

Lin Mu looked at Li Changqing doubtfully: "You didn't lie to me? I am one of the culprits of the destruction of the station!"

When Li Changqing heard this, he tried to kick him, but he quickly dodged and dodged.

"Go quickly, don't keep the Governor waiting too long!"

Under Li Changqing's urging, Lin Mu walked into the tent reluctantly. He really didn't want to face such a person who felt oppressive to him, and he was very depressed.

In the tent, Zeng Hongyuan was drinking tea. When he saw Lin Mu coming in, he pointed to the chair opposite and said, "Sit down!"

Lin Mu hesitated for a moment and then sat down bravely.

"Why, you've been fighting with Li Changqing for so long, are you afraid that I'll eat you?"

As soon as he sat down, he felt an aura coming over him, and Zeng Hongyuan looked at him with a smile.

Seeing those crescent-like eyes, he always felt very flustered. The old man with an unspectacular appearance opposite him killed Zhang Qianfeng like this.

"After all, I caused such a big mess, so I'm still a little panicked!"

Lin Mu knew that he couldn't run away now, so he could only tell the truth and what was in his heart.

Let's treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor!

If Zeng Hongyuan really wanted to hold him accountable, he couldn't hide even if he wanted to. Thinking of this, he calmed down.

"Don't be nervous, I don't eat people!"

"Actually, I came to see you. It was Li Changqing who told me about your situation!"

"I'm just asking, do you want to join us?"

Zeng Hongyuan got straight to the point and directly told the reason why he came to Lin Mu.

"Join the Demon Slayer Guard?"

Lin Mu frowned. He had a bad impression of the Demon Slayer Guards. They were just a cannon fodder group. If they joined, they would be used as puppets.

But now Zeng Hongyuan asked him so straightforwardly, and he didn't know how to refuse.

Seeing the troubled Lin Mu, Zeng Hongyuan smiled and said: "It's not the Demon Slayer Guard, it's the Dragon King's Mansion!"

"Dragon King's Mansion?"

Lin Mu was a little confused. He had lived for twenty-two years and had never heard of this name.

"Let me explain it to you briefly!"

Seeing Lin Mu's puzzled look, Zeng Hongyuan drank a cup of tea and started explaining.

"The Earth Star Alliance established the Cultivators' Alliance, but nearly a hundred years have passed, and the Cultivators' Alliance has long been scattered. They are all in charge of their own affairs and have nothing to do with each other!"

"The Dragon Kingdom's cultivators' alliance is controlled by the Dragon King's Palace. In the west, the War Temple controls everything. There are also some organizations established by small and medium-sized countries such as the Shadow Alliance and the Divine Power Alliance."

"The current cultivator alliance is still nominally controlled by the Earth Star Alliance, but the Earth Star Alliance has long existed in name only. The headquarters of the Earth Star Alliance is basically controlled by the Dragon King's Palace and the God of War Temple!"

After listening to Zeng Hongyuan's explanation, Lin Mu was stunned. No one had ever said these things before.

"Since the alliance has been disbanded long ago, why has no one announced this fact?"

"Only the upper echelons know this news now. The reason for not announcing it is because we don't want to cause chaos. After all, it's not the time for civil war yet. The cracks are the biggest crisis now!"

Lin Mu frowned. In his mind, the establishment of the Earth Star Alliance seemed to have happened yesterday. Today, someone told him that the Earth Star Alliance had disbanded long ago. This was indeed a bit absurd.

"Why did the God of War come to the Dragon Kingdom to steal the energy core?"

"A crack will collapse if it loses its energy core. An active crack can produce countless materials, but in a collapsed crack, only the energy core is useful!"

"You mean, the Temple of War is deliberately undermining the strength of the Dragon Kingdom?"

“I don’t know the specific reason, but it definitely has this purpose!”

After Zeng Hongyuan finished explaining, the tent fell into silence. He did not rush Lin Mu because he knew that this required a digestion process.

After a long time, Lin Mu sighed: "Grand Governor, I don't want to join any force yet!"

He knew Zeng Hongyuan's purpose and tied himself to the Dragon King's ship to prevent him from being poached by the God of War or being tricked and killed by the God of War.

There are definitely advantages and disadvantages to joining the Dragon King's Palace. The advantage is that he will get a lot of resources, but the disadvantage is that he is likely to get involved in disputes between the two forces, or even be involved in the internal disputes of the Dragon King's Palace.

But with the system in place, he doesn't need a lot of resources. Hunting exotic beasts can make him rise to the top of the human race.

In order not to be disturbed by those trivial matters, he decided not to join any force. As long as he joins the forces, he cannot avoid these disputes.

After living in the rescue building for so many years, he realized a truth. Only when you are strong are you truly strong. The power behind being strong is ultimately an external object, and the day will come when the external object will lose control.

"Okay, I understand! Go find Li Changqing!"

Zeng Hongyuan drank tea calmly and did not continue to persuade. He just asked him to find Li Changqing.

Lin Mu was a little surprised. He just let himself go? Are you not going to investigate the matter at the station?

"What, you don't want to leave? Then I'll put you in the adjudication prison?"

Seeing Lin Mu hesitating there, Zeng Hongyuan said with a smile.

"I want to leave! I want to leave!"

As soon as he saw this smile, Lin Mu stood up and ran out of the tent immediately.

"Boy, although you will be subject to some restrictions if you join us, it is too difficult to reach the top on your own!"

Zeng Hongyuan looked at the teacup in his hand, played with it gently, and murmured.

He has been struggling for decades and now sits in the position of Governor of Baicheng. He has experienced many ups and downs, so he deeply understands the advantages and disadvantages of relying on big forces. He also knows the reason why Lin Mu refused to join the Dragon King's Mansion.

Li Changqing was waiting for Lin Mu outside the tent. When he saw Lin Mu coming out, he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Brother Lin, how are you?"

"How about what?"

"About the Dragon King's Mansion!"

Lin Mu shook his head, spread his hands and said, "I didn't join. I have no interest in joining a certain force!"

When Li Changqing heard this, he slapped his thigh and said, "You are such a brat! Alas! I don't even know what to say about you!"

Lin Mu looked curiously at Li Changqing who was beating his chest and felt a little baffled. Isn't he the largest force in the Dragon Kingdom? It wouldn’t be like this if you didn’t join!

"Do you know that there are many people who want to join the Dragon King's Mansion but are not qualified, but you refused!"

Li Changqing sighed, as if he had lost millions.

"Is there anything special about the Dragon King's Mansion? No matter how special it is, it is just a big force. If I don't join, it won't have much impact on me!"

"What do you know? The Dragon King's Mansion is an official force and has more resources than you can imagine! You can save decades of struggle by joining!"

"And the Dragon King's Mansion is very powerful! Most of the members of the Dragon King's Mansion have the status of inspectors. Do you understand what an inspector is? In ancient times, they were imperial envoys. They had the right to kill first and report later!"
