"Yes." After thinking for a moment, Loran Hill took out a gem from his sleeve, poured the image he saw into it, and then placed it on the table to project it.

Seeing the demons and monsters that filled the mountains, as well as the surging high-level ghost beasts, Tu Haoyang's expression became increasingly solemn. If the situation was truly this serious, then a massive disaster would erupt here before he could even leave.

Moreover, even if he had mobilized the people before the incident occurred, if the incident escalated and spread to several surrounding continents, affecting tens of millions of people, it would be difficult for him to escape the consequences when accountability was investigated. Even if he could not find any evidence or guilt in his duties, it would still leave a bad impression on the king.

He had previously thought these demons were merely minor incidents, the aftermath of the changes in the heavens and earth. After all, demonic beasts wreaked havoc in most of the 134 continents, so it wasn't uncommon. But now it seemed the truth was far more complex and serious.

"Thank you Miss Jialan for your reminder." He first expressed his gratitude, then his fingers tapped silently on the table, and his mind began to analyze and think about the next decision.

After a long time, the man spoke again.

"Although I am grateful for Miss Jialan's warning, I am afraid I still cannot send troops at will this time." He answered after a long time.

"Why?" Loran Hill's eyes were always filled with confusion and curiosity. What on earth made the governor so hesitant?

Tu Haoyang looked at the lotus pond outside the pavilion, was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke.

"Perhaps in the eyes of outsiders, sending troops is the best option, but in fact there are many problems to be faced." The governor began to explain slowly.

"First, under what pretext and for what purpose are we sending troops?"

"I am the governor of Xiyouzhou, not Ximu Mountain. Affairs over there are under the jurisdiction of Zhaoye Palace, Xuanhua Mansion, and other institutions. Sending troops without authorization is an overstepping of authority."

"Although this transgression can be endorsed by the envoy from Xuanhua Mansion, it is still a taboo in official circles. The more power one holds, the more attention one must pay to this aspect. Because if one is not careful, this transgression will become treason..." He explained the first point.

As Loran Hill listened, he gradually understood the tacit understanding and trust between the monarch and his subjects. If a frontier official privately mobilized a large number of troops several times, even if he had very legitimate reasons and causes each time, it would gradually make the monarch feel frightened, and then reject and belittle him.

"Secondly, how will this benefit Xiyouzhou?"

"The disaster will indeed have an impact on Xiyouzhou, but if we hold the city and evacuate the people in advance, wouldn't that greatly enhance safety and minimize casualties? Why rush into such a dangerous place and disregard the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers?"

"In my duties, the people of Xiyouzhou come first, not the Ximu Mountains."

"Third, what happened to this matter?"

"The shattered caves, the Nine Netherworld Qi, and the filthy dragon veins within the Sunset Mountains are all hidden dangers left over from the early days of the dynasty. If they could be easily resolved, the previous emperors, ministers, and immortals would have taken action long ago. If I send troops to the Sunset Mountains, the demons will continue to emerge endlessly, and tens of thousands of soldiers will be trapped. Over time, logistics, compensation, personnel transfers, and other issues will accumulate into a myriad of problems. At that point, it would be difficult to retreat, and it would be difficult not to retreat. It would be difficult to get off the tiger's back."

"If we still can't stop those demons in the end, wouldn't it be that we sacrificed so many soldiers in vain, and didn't bring any extra benefits to Xiyouzhou? Then, wouldn't the people of the continent be filled with resentment, and the people of the continent would accuse me of being generous to others, only caring about my own reputation and not caring about the people under my rule."

After saying this, the governor stopped talking for a while and picked up the teacup to moisten his throat.

So the situation inside is so complicated? Loran Hill's right hand unconsciously picked up a little hair and swirled it at his side, thinking of a solution in his mind.

Then she spoke slowly.

"Actually, there is a solution to the third point..." She knew that it might be hard to believe what she said, but she still explained slowly.

"As for me, I actually know a little bit about the art of offering sacrifices to dragons, wind and rain. If it comes to clearing out those broken cracks in the cave, I can also do it. Maybe this is my talent..." It is too complicated to explain it with any secret techniques or skills. Besides, if there really is such a secret technique, why hasn't it been discovered for so many years? How could you, a disciple who has just been initiated, create it?

Therefore, Loran Hill had to attribute it to a universal talent. After all, this did make sense. Individual talents were numerous, and space-related talents had appeared in history. However, when it came to the pinnacle of space, no one could surpass the Witch of Space and Time.

But even Dorothy's power was only a fragment and part of the Moon Crown. Although the Moon Crown was now shattered, its core could still mobilize a small amount of power, making it somewhat useless.

Seeing the girl in black dress and silver hair speaking, Tu Haoyang gradually turned his gaze, seeming to have some doubts, after all, words were not enough to prove anything.

Loran Hill shook his head slightly, stretched out his palm and brushed across the table, and green, orange, and purple fruits fell down and covered the table.

These fruits were plump and translucent, the extraordinary fruits of the former Tixilan Mountains. She had stored many of them in her storage ring. Later, at the end of the battle between the Sun and Moon, when the two crowns collided and shattered, the ring was also damaged. But when she fell, she absorbed the broken Moon Crown, and using its spatial power, she was able to store and preserve its contents.

It was not until last night, when she woke up from her dream and regained control of the Moon Crown, that she discovered what was stored in the storage space.
