After saying goodbye to Chaoyan, Ling Yun and Chu Ruomei left Mucheng without stopping and returned to Yushan City directly through the teleportation array.
Next, Ling Yun has to choose a faction to join.
In order to avoid interference from any forces, Ling Yun thought it would be more appropriate to return to Yushan City first.
In Yushan City, no one in Muzhou can threaten Ling Yun.
After returning to Yushan City.
The first thing Ling Yun did was to study the magic source.
Set up the formation! Ling Yun first set up an isolation formation to isolate the space in the courtyard where he was.
Then, he opened the magic box.
It was just as he expected.
As soon as the magic sealing box is opened, a surge of demonic energy spurts out. The intensity of this demonic energy is not inferior to that of a Nirvana warrior.
In Ling Yun's opinion, the saint Xu Wanning mentioned must have practiced a technique that can refine demonic energy.
If the saintess refines this demonic source, her strength will undoubtedly be greatly improved.
Lingyun can also absorb this magic source.
His "Eternal Heaven Swallowing Technique" can swallow all energy.
However, Ling Yun had no intention of swallowing this demonic source immediately.
The source of demons and demon spirits actually have the same origin, and they both evolved from resentful spirits.
The difference is that the source of magic is a resentful spirit that failed to evolve.
There is a one in 100 million chance that a resentful spirit can evolve into a demon spirit.
But in the process of evolution, it is still possible to fail.
A demon that fails to evolve will have its spiritual intelligence wiped out and become the source of demons.
This shows how valuable this magic source is.
It's such a waste to just devour it hastily.
"This magic source can be refined into elixirs, and the effectiveness will be increased several times."
Ling Yun thought to himself.
"Sect Master, the Governor's Mansion has sent someone."
Yu Qi Xiu's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"oh?"
Ling Yun's mind moved slightly.
Then, he put away the source of magic and stood up to open the door.
"Where is the person?"
Ling Yun said.
"In the main hall of the Sheriff's Mansion."
Yu Qi practiced Taoism.
Ling Yun nodded and walked directly towards the main hall of the Sheriff's Mansion.
On the way, Yu Qixiu said: "These days, in addition to the people from the Governor's Mansion, several other major overlords have also sent people over, hoping that you, the sect master, can join their camp."
Ling Yun was not surprised.
He and several other major overlords indeed have hatred.
But when the other major overlords found that they could not get rid of him, they chose to cooperate with him instead. This is normal.
Only in this way is it in the interests of these forces.
"What are the conditions they offer?"
Ling Yun said.
After obtaining the treasure trove of the Governor's Mansion, he has no shortage of resources for the time being.
But no warrior would complain that there are too many resources.
Yu Qixiu described in detail the conditions offered by several major forces to Ling Yun.
The conditions offered by these forces are no lower than those of the Qingxu Sect, and the conditions for opening the Yanling Gate are even higher than those of the Qingxu Sect.
Ling Yun still didn't say anything: "Let's go see the people in the Governor's Mansion."
A few minutes later, Ling Yun saw the people sent by the Governor's Mansion.
The visitor is an ordinary guard of the Governor's Mansion.
"Inspector Ling, I am here to deliver a message for the Governor."
The guard of the Governor's Mansion said: "Your Majesty the Governor, I am very much looking forward to your joining our camp. This letter contains the conditions that the Governor has given you."
As he spoke, he took out a letter.
Yu Qixiu walked over, took the letter, and then passed it to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun opened the letter.
After a quick glance, Ling Yun's expression turned cold.
Noticing that Ling Yun's expression was wrong, Yu Qixiu walked to Ling Yun's side and looked at the letter in Ling Yun's hand.
Seeing this, Yu Qixiu also had a gloomy expression.
One million yuan of stones! Yang Hanguang's condition for Ling Yun was to join the Governor's Mansion camp and give Ling Yun one million yuan of stones every year.
This condition is not even a fraction of that of other forces.
In Yu Qixiu's view, Yang Hanguang and the Governor's Office were simply humiliating Ling Yun.
"Does your Governor's Office know that the conditions offered by other forces to our sect leader, in terms of value, exceed 100 million yuan every year?"
Yu Qixiu looked at the guards of the Governor's Mansion and said angrily.
The guard at the Governor's Mansion did not take it seriously: "Of course I, the Governor's Mansion, know about this."
"Then you will give me one million yuan stones?"
Yu Qi was happy and repaired.
The guard of the Governor's Mansion said calmly: "How can our Governor's Mansion be comparable to other forces? In Muzhou, there are countless warriors who would rather join the Governor's Mansion camp.
Now that the Governor is willing to give Inspector Ling a million yuan, this shows that he attaches great importance to Inspector Ling."
"You go back."
At this time, Ling Yun opened his mouth and said.
The guard at the Governor's Mansion was stunned for a moment, then frowned and said, "What does Inspector Ling mean by this?
When I come this time, I need to confirm your intentions, Inspector Ling, do you agree to join my camp at the Governor's Mansion?"
"I reject."
Ling Yun said directly.
The face of the guard at the Governor's Mansion suddenly darkened: "Inspector Ling, do you know what you are talking about?"
Ling Yun didn't reply to him anymore and directly tore Yang Hanguang's letter into pieces.
"One million yuan stone?"
Ling Yun said disdainfully: "It would be better for Governor Yang to keep this Yuan Stone and send the beggar away."
The guard at the Governor's Mansion was trembling with anger: "Inspector Ling, Governor Yang is not Governor Cao. Do you know that you are not just rejecting a governor, you are also rejecting a powerful Nirvana man."
"see a visitor out."
Ling Yun's face was expressionless.
"please."
Yu Qixiu flew to the guard of the Governor's Mansion and said unceremoniously.
"Okay, okay, I'll wait until you regret it."
The guards of the Governor's Mansion put down their harsh words and finally had to leave the Governor's Mansion and return to Mucheng through the teleportation array in Yushan City.
After the guards of the Governor's Mansion left, Yu Qixiu said angrily: "This Yang Hanguang and the Governor's Mansion are really hateful."
"Don't worry, if there is a day when you regret it, it will be them, not us."
Ling Yun waved his hand, "Contact Qingxu Sect now and tell them that I agree to join the Qingxu Sect camp."
Mucheng.
Governor's Palace.
Yang Hanguang stood in the treasure house of the Governor's Mansion, his face extremely gloomy.
In the Dayu Empire, half of the state's fiscal revenue was handed over to the central government every year, and the other half was retained in the Governor's Mansion and allocated by the Governor's Mansion.
Therefore, according to common sense, half a year's fiscal revenue of Muzhou should be stored in the treasure house of the Governor's Mansion.
This is an extremely huge wealth.
According to Muzhou's fiscal revenue over the years, the wealth in the governor's palace treasury should be worth about three billion yuan.
As a result, he came to check the treasure house with great interest today and found that there was nothing valuable in the treasure house, it was all garbage.
The total contents of the entire treasure house are not worth even 300,000 yuan stones, let alone three billion yuan stones.
"Moth."
Yang Hanguang gritted his teeth.
He could never have imagined that this treasure house had been emptied.
After all, there is no trace of damage to the treasure house.
Then the only possibility is that Cao Wenmu stole the property from the governor's palace treasury on his own.
But now that Cao Wenmu is dead, even if Cao Wenmu commits such a serious crime of corruption, there is nothing he can do against Cao Wenmu.
He must take over this mess.
Next to him, the black cavalry general said cautiously: "Mr. Governor, where is Inspector Ling?"
