But once you enter the court, you will rank very high. Even if you don't have good talents, you can use the power of the dynasty to obtain many resources to prolong your life and become stronger. This is another shortcut, so many people flock to it and try their best to curry favor with various forces.

Inside the provincial capital, the palaces were heavily guarded, and high towers were lit with eternally burning lamps. Soldiers armed with swords and spears patrolled the palaces, making slight metallic collision sounds, showing their power and murderous aura.
When Luo Lanxier followed Bu Moyin into the provincial capital, she also felt the strict and solemn atmosphere here. She was slightly surprised that in this peaceful and prosperous dynasty, the provincial capital was so heavily guarded. It seemed that this governor was very special.
"The inspector has arrived—" When Bu Moyin stepped onto the steps of a hall, the official beside the door shouted loudly and the message spread inside.
Not long after, a man in a dark blue robe slowly walked into the hall, followed by a person who looked like an aide.
"I am the governor of Xiyou Prefecture. I wonder what has brought the inspector here so urgently?" the man said, bowing slightly. His face was straight, and although he was dressed in the simple, unpretentious manner of a scholar, he exuded an air of authority simply by standing there.
After seeing the governor, Bu Moyin's emotions quickly cooled down.
"I am the envoy of Jinzhan Xuanhua Mansion. I discovered some strange things during my inspection in this area..." She calmly spoke about what she saw and heard in the Sunset Mountains, as well as the power and number of the monsters.
"I see. Thank you for the hard work during the inspection." The governor looked calm and did not seem surprised by what Bu Moyin reported.
"Serve tea to the envoy." He gave an order, and the staff member behind him bowed slightly, then went to the side and asked the waiter to bring him the best tea.
A faint fragrance emanated from the celadon teacup with a white base, and the warm steam gradually eased the atmosphere in the hall.
"I will immediately report what the envoy said and let the court decide on it." The governor picked up the tribute tea containing extraordinary power, took a sip, and then put it down.
Upon hearing this answer, Bu Moyin frowned. This seemingly correct answer meant that the governor would not send a single soldier into the Sunset Mountains until he received a reply from the court.
"But now the Sunset Mountains are in imminent danger. If the demons are strong enough and attack, it will cause heavy casualties."
"What are you worried about, Your Excellency? I will also inform the people living in the border areas to migrate inland to avoid the disaster." He answered slowly.
"But if this happens, the Youchi clan in the Ximu Mountains will probably die out." Bu Moyin finally expressed his worries.
"I am deeply touched by the envoy's compassion, but my duty is to protect the people of the continent. As for the Youchi clan, they are not within my scope of concern." He shook his head slightly.
"In other words, you won't send troops?" Bu Moyin clenched his fingers slightly, as if unwilling.
"That's right." Seeing that the young inspector looked unhappy, the governor had no choice but to explain.
"I beg the envoy's forgiveness. In my heart, the lives of the soldiers on this continent are far more precious than those of the Youchi clan. I have to consider their families and children. I believe that the envoy does not want to see their families separated and their homes destroyed." His words were clear and logical, leaving Bu Moyin speechless for a moment.
After a brief silence, Bu Moyin spoke again.
"But with sufficient military strength in the prefecture, there will not be a large number of casualties." As the inspector of Xuanhua Prefecture, Bu Moyin is very clear about the situation in Xiyouzhou.
As one of the prefectures with unique circumstances, this governor possessed the authority to mobilize 40% of the continent's military forces, allowing for considerable flexibility and freedom. Unlike a captain, he didn't require a tiger talisman from the imperial court to issue orders. His Black Leopard Cavalry consisted of numerous second- and third-tier cavalrymen. With elite equipment and formations, they were comparable to over a thousand fourth-tier transcendents.
In this way, by uniting with the assistance of other elite border troops in the continent and concentrating their forces, they can form a 3,000-level extraordinary military formation, and clear out those scattered and uncoordinated demons in the mountains, like crushing dry weeds and rotten wood, with ease.
The governor listened to Bu Moyin's story and still refused.
"I already know what the envoy is thinking, but I'm sorry, I can't do it." As he finished speaking, the tea lid in his hand fell on the cup with a crisp sound.
The hall fell into oppressive silence until a long time later, when a clear and gentle voice sounded.
"Excuse me, sir, is there something hidden within the continent? Perhaps we can share some of the burden with you. By coordinating with each other, we might be able to find a solution that satisfies both sides."
After the words fell, the governor with a stern expression slowly shifted his gaze to the side of Bu Moyin. Where the voice came from, there sat a quiet and gentle girl, with the tips of her hair silver-white, like the snow on the Tianshan Mountains, peerless and stunning.
