I have a city in another world

Chapter 6931 Join if you can’t beat him
Mina was speechless in the face of Tang Zhen's question.

No matter where you are, trespassing is no small matter, especially in the Astral Realm, where wizards, who value their personal wealth and privacy, abhor such offenses.

In order to protect personal property and safeguard their own interests, the Wizarding Alliance has also issued relevant regulations.

If an outsider trespasses on a person's property without permission and causes a threat or property damage, the owner has the right to attack and detain the intruder, and demand compensation.

In special circumstances, they can even be killed on the spot.

Influenced by the laws of the Alliance, similar regulations also exist in the private sector to ensure that private property is not violated.

Tang Zhen's actions in dealing with unauthorized intruders were all within permissible limits.

If the intruder is powerful and the owner is weak, there is a certain chance that they will be exempt from being held accountable.

Tang Zhen was no weakling; his strength was unfathomable. Once Tim fell into his hands, his life and death were truly out of his control.

Mina sighed inwardly. Sure enough, whoever is stronger has the right to say so. Faced with a homeowner she couldn't beat, she could only obediently follow their arrangements.

"He is an acquaintance of mine and had no intention of offending you. I wonder if you could let him leave?"

Even at this point, Mina still held onto a sliver of hope and cautiously probed for answers.

"He is an Alliance cultivator. You are familiar with him, but what is his identity?"

Tang Zhen asked a question in return, while keeping a close eye on Mina's eyes.

At that moment, Mina felt an indescribable pressure that made it impossible for her to concentrate on weaving lies.

However, she could not reveal the truth, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

But the immense pressure forced her to answer, making it impossible for her to remain silent.

Mina's expression became very strange. She wanted to open her mouth, but she also wanted to close it. The muscles on her face twitched and trembled. The two forces were fighting against each other, and her appearance gradually became distorted.

Her body began to tremble at that moment, and she was instantly covered in sweat.

Unspeakable pain swept through every corner of her body, causing Mina's eyes to plead.

At this moment, she was truly speechless; she wanted to say something, but couldn't utter a single word.

A full minute passed before the pain subsided like the receding tide, and she collapsed to the ground.

Looking at Tang Zhen again at this moment, I was filled with fear and unease, and all my wishful thinking vanished.

She had originally planned to deceive Tang Zhen and hide her true identity.

At this moment, she suddenly realized that this idea was nothing but self-deception. Tang Zhen had probably already seen through her, given her weakness.

Those thoughts and schemes are as laughable as a farce.

With a soft sigh and a bittersweet smile, Mina let go of her last shred of hope.

Knowing it's impossible, yet still struggling in vain, is nothing but self-deception.

My actions were truly laughable, and equally pathetic, filled with the intense resentment of having tried my best but still failing to achieve my goal.

"Your Excellency has keen insight and should have already seen through my identity. Why then do you play with and toy with a pitiful person like me?"

Although it wasn't explicitly stated, it was tantamount to admitting that there was something wrong with his identity, and to giving up all struggle.

For some reason, Mina suddenly felt a sense of relief and stopped thinking about anything.

In the past, her life was like a thin rope that was being stretched tighter and tighter, almost exceeding her own limits.

Once the limit is exceeded, the rope of fate will inevitably break, and at that time she will be completely ruined.

Although it hasn't come to that point yet, Mina has a premonition that it is her ultimate fate.

Driven by a sense of crisis, Mina took the initiative to participate in the operation, prepared to gamble her future on this gamble. If she succeeded, her future might be smooth sailing; if she failed, it would simply mean an earlier end.

Admitting your identity at this moment signifies the end of the game.

This damned life is so tiring and agonizing. If she could choose, she wouldn't want to be a cultivator again in her next life.

But for some reason, there was still a trace of resentment in my heart, and I couldn't let it go no matter what.

Tang Zhen looked at the girl and said in a calm tone, "You should know very well that identity is not a constraint for cultivators. If you encounter a suitable environment, you can stay for a period of time. If the environment is not suitable, then you need to find a better place."

Unless one has the backing of a powerful force and abundant resources, any high-level cultivator needs to constantly explore and wander, seeking their own opportunities, and will not allow their status to restrict their future.

Mina raised her head and looked at the figure in front of her, her eyes gradually brightening.

Yes, life is tough in the Wizarding Alliance. Why not make a different choice and try joining another faction or organization?
Although this would turn them into wild wizards, their plight was rumored to be quite miserable.

But it's still a choice, which is better than having no choice at all. The road ahead may be more difficult, but at least there is a chance to struggle.

However, at this moment, Mina faces a more perilous choice than the wild wizard.

Such powerful beings as evil gods are rejected and attacked by astral wizards. Once they join them, there is probably no way out.

From now on, life will be much harder, and I could lose my life at any moment.

The woman, who had seemed like a withered flower, suddenly perked up and looked at Tang Zhen with anticipation.

"Your Excellency, I wish to join the temple. Would that be permissible?"

Mina's heart pounded, fearing that Tang Zhen would reject her, which would leave her with no way out.

"Of course, even your acquaintance can join the temple immediately."

Once you join, your first task is to recruit people. The more people you recruit, the greater the rewards you will receive.

There's another task that needs to be carried out simultaneously: dig out your accomplices, either recruit them, imprison them, or kill them. In short, they can't be allowed to remain hidden any longer.

Tang Zhen, representing the temple, issued the order to hunt down the enemy.

As the instigator of this incident, Tang Zhen cannot remain hidden behind the scenes forever; he needs to do something.

With such a large operation, expecting a group of novices to run it is unlikely to achieve the desired results.

Tang Zhen, who originally planned to remain behind the scenes as an anonymous advisor, was forced to step in and help with some things.

Mina simply happened to run into Tang Zhen on the street, and saw him for a special reason.

But it was precisely this that exposed her true identity.

If she knew the truth and could go back in time, Mina would definitely pretend to be blind.

Little did they know that Tang Zhen's situation was so strange and unusual that no one knew about it or took precautions against it.

Having received Tang Zhen's permission, Mina was secretly overjoyed, instantly returning from hell to heaven.

As for those additional conditions, Mina didn't think they were excessive; they were simply a matter of course.

Those in positions of power must fulfill their responsibilities; whoever pays their bills, they must do their bidding for them.

The temple is recruiting people, not to support lazy people; they must work hard.

Mina didn't think much about the reward Tang Zhen mentioned; she was more concerned about getting out of danger.

It won't be long before Mina realizes how important a piece of information she has missed.

They had no idea what kind of surprising opportunity their efforts to perform as newcomers would bring.
