Only My Way

When all the flames subsided.

The Left family's architectural complex, covering an area of over 100,000 square meters, along with its thousands of inhabitants, had all been reduced to the purest of ashes.

No corpses remained.

No traces of battle existed.

No broken walls or ruins were left…

Even the foundations buried deep underground had vanished.

Looking out.

All that met the eye was a lake of lava still emitting high temperatures.

That turbid and viscous lava.

Was the final remnant of the entire area!

At this moment.

The person behind Ling Wuyuan, the city lord of [Valley Blue City], finally spoke:

"Ling Wuyuan, although your strength is indeed formidable, I believe you should be aware of one thing… That is, large-scale killings are prohibited in any official town. Are you planning to provoke the authority of the entire [White Mist Kingdom]?"

Although he didn't want to step forward and provoke Ling Wuyuan.

As the city lord of [Valley Blue City], it was his duty.

Therefore.

He had to say something at this time.

Otherwise.

Even the court of the [White Mist Kingdom] would not let him off.

As for the official towns he mentioned, they referred to towns governed by the official authorities.

Without exception, the administrators of these towns.

Were all appointed by the imperial court!

And they all had troops stationed locally!

In contrast, there were affiliated towns established by various gangs or forces themselves.

For example, the [White Crow Gang], where Ling Wuyuan was initially, had built a small private town at the foot of their mountain.

The people living there were all inextricably linked to the [White Crow Gang].

Although they would regularly pay various taxes to the surrounding official towns depending on the situation.

In essence, however, they were actually a kind of autonomous territory.

The so-called taxes could also be called protection fees…

It was a large private stronghold where they played their own game.

As long as they didn't cause a big commotion.

Then the officials usually wouldn't bother with them.

Of course.

Relatively speaking, even if problems arose in those towns, the officials usually wouldn't bother to take care of them.

At most, they would clean up the mess when things were beyond repair.

For example: if those towns were slaughtered by monsters, the officials wouldn't mind collecting the corpses afterward and taking away the wealth they had accumulated…

This was a certain social structure that naturally evolved after the power of individuals overwhelmed the power of groups.

Since the imperial court didn't care at all whether you raised private soldiers or won over civilians.

So the imperial court chose to delegate power to a certain extent.

Anyway.

You just need to fulfill your obligations.

You must pay the taxes that you should pay.

Moreover, that's fine usually.

When I formally issue an order, you must honestly do things for me.

As for whether they would gather people to rebel?

That was a useless worry.

Number of people?

Generally speaking, it's useless…

What's the point of tens of thousands of private soldiers?

The experts in the imperial court can wipe out your entire map single-handedly.

And now, as the administrator of this official town, holding an officially appointed position, the city lord of [Valley Blue City] was representing the court of the [White Mist Kingdom] in questioning Ling Wuyuan.

To this.

Ling Wuyuan simply replied calmly:

"Jianghu vendetta, is that not allowed?"

It was a very confident tone.

Hearing this, the other party was immediately slightly stunned:

"Jianghu vendetta?"

"What feud do the Left family have with you?"

While puzzled.

The tone in the other party's words also immediately softened.

'Oh~'

'So it's a Jianghu vendetta…'

'Then there's nothing wrong with Ling Wuyuan killing the whole family…'

If it were in Ling Wuyuan's previous life's world.

Jianghu vendettas and the like would not be a suitable excuse at all.

But in this world, where martial power is supreme, you kill me, I kill you… it's not quite the same.

Indiscriminate massacre! (X)

No!

Jianghu vendetta, you killed my whole family, so I will kill your whole family! (√)

Okay!

Very reasonable!

To put it bluntly.

Everyone who comes out to make a living has some blood on their hands?

Moreover, the grumpy old men are well known.

Hoping that enemies will not retaliate against each other is completely impossible!

Many times, let alone enemies, if someone blocks them and tries to stop them from revenge, they will often kill even the people who try to mediate!!

Therefore.

For [Jianghu vendettas].

This world generally has extraordinarily flexible moral judgment standards and legal judgment standards.

As long as you do things based on this reason.

Even if you commit murder.

Many times it can still be judged as [reasonable] and [not a crime].

The latest and fastest novel is on 69shu.com!

Even.

Even the rulers think things are actually very reasonable.

Fight!

Fight as you please!!

As long as it doesn't involve the innocent and doesn't disrupt order.

The situation can only be described as simple and unadorned.

And this.

Is also a certain development brought about when individual power far outweighs group power.

Don't talk to me about big principles!

Revenge for grievances!

Revenge for grudges!

Whether everyone's actions are right or wrong is often judged according to their own morals, and not based on so-called legal clauses.

To give a simplest example—a bully who harms the villages nearby killed your relatives, so you choose to retaliate, kill back, kill the bully, kill his whole family, in this situation, in this world you may not be guilty of a crime, and may even belong to the standard of moral model, people in the villages will all send you banners, shouting that the killing is good and the killing is wonderful, even the officials think there is no problem, and even laugh.

However, in Ling Wuyuan's previous life's world, similar things would undoubtedly be a crime.

Even if the other party is a bully and kills your relatives, so what?

Whether the other party should be killed and whether he should go to jail is a matter decided by law.

You overstepped your authority and killed the other party, that's your fault!

You can basically only eat metal peanuts.

Even if everyone thinks you are right from a moral point of view, it is the same.

The law is more primitive.

But in a sense, it follows the so-called basic morality more, and there is not too much deliberate greatness.

Blood for blood, revenge for revenge, don't talk too much about great principles, this is one of the most basic operating principles of the legal system in this world.

"These idiots tried to snatch the inheritance from me, is this feud big enough?"

Faced with Ling Wuyuan's questioning, the city lord of [Valley Blue City] was also more relaxed and more puzzled in terms of mood.

Plotting Ling Wuyuan's inheritance?

Okay…

If that's really the case.

Then the Left family really deserved to die!

The whole family was killed?

Very reasonable~

At least from the perspective of this world, the situation can only be described as extremely reasonable.

Even if the king comes, he will approve of the matter on the spot.

Good kill, no problem at all!

"Young hero Ling, do you have any physical evidence left?"

For a time, the city lord's tone also softened a lot.

He no longer directly called his name, but began to call him young hero Ling instead.

The attitude was flexible and changeable, and extremely adaptable.

To this.

Ling Wuyuan just shook his head very calmly:

"No need for physical evidence."

"You guys should know what happened when you watch the news in two days…"

Having said that.

Before the voice could dissipate.

Ling Wuyuan's figure had already headed towards the distance.

Not giving anyone present any face.

Completely too lazy to explain further.

And looking at Ling Wuyuan's free and easy appearance.

The city lord was also quite helpless.

After he stood there blankly and silently opened his mouth.

In the end, he couldn't say anything.

Faced with this situation, what could he do?

Of course, he could only report the situation truthfully~

Could it be that he still had to fight Ling Wuyuan to the death??

Think too much…

By the way.

Looking at the Left family, which had already become a ruin, he couldn't help but secretly wonder with some delight:

'Although I don't know what you guys did, but… you really died well~'

'Now, your industries will all be cheaper for me…'
