Capítulo 1022: Chapter 58: The King’s Law? We Are the King’s Law!
The density of the grain in this area, along with the faint sll of kerosene lingering in the air.
Once a fire stick falls onto the grain stacks soaked in kerosene, the fire will quickly spread.
If not extinguished in ti, the grain here will be completely destroyed.
Even if extinguished in ti, the losses would still be considerable.
Amidst the action, thoughts flashed through Bai Luoyu’s mind, the killing intent in his eyes grew fierce.
The mad actions of these people directly touched his bottom line.
They would rather burn everything than let him use this grain to save people. How deranged is this?
As Bai Luoyu moved, the three people he brought with him also drew their blades and attacked.
These three were all skilled fighters.
One Fifth Grade, two Sixth Rank.
A few breaths later.
The entire situation in the stone cave was completely under control.
With Bai Luoyu’s intervention, the person attempting to ignite the grain with a fire stick also failed.
The decapitated body now lay in a pool of blood.
“Brother Jiang, on behalf of all the people in Shishan County, I thank you!”
In the slowly rising firelight, Bai Luoyu also saw the mountains of grain piled up in the stone cave.
At that mont.
He let out a long sigh of relief.
With this batch of grain, he knew that the crisis in Shishan County could be greatly alleviated.
It could restore peace to Shishan County.
He could now justify wearing his official robe.
Jiang Ning smiled and asked, “Brother Bai, have you thought about what to do next?”
Bai Luoyu shook his head, “I haven’t quite figured out how to deal with the Xu and Mu Families yet.”
anwhile.
As the two were conversing.
A voice echoed from the side.
“Stay still, or I’ll kill you!”
“You can’t kill , I’m the second son of the Xu Family’s main branch!”
Hearing the conversation on the side.
Bai Luoyu looked towards Jiang Ning, “Brother Jiang, how should these people be handled?”
“Just ask them casually, see if they’re stubborn! If they are, just kill them!”
“No, no, no!!” said the person who just spoke, repeatedly, “We’re not stubborn at all, sir, ask anything you want, I’ll tell you everything I know!”
Looking at the obsequious second son of the Xu Family’s main branch, one of the two people who had just been knocked down by Jiang Ning looked at him with anger.
“In the Xu Family, we die standing, not living on our knees!”
At that mont.
Bai Luoyu noticed a signal in Jiang Ning’s eyes.
He imdiately took a quick step forward, and on the way, with the profundity of True Yuan, he telekinetically drew a long knife.
Then, with a swing of the knife, the person who opened his mouth was instantly beheaded.
Jiang Ning glanced indifferently and then said, “Brother Bai, you handle this place. I’m going to open a path!”
“Alright!” Bai Luoyu nodded upon seeing Jiang Ning’s reluctance to deal with the matter here.
Jiang Ning then exited the stone cave.
The Xu and Mu Families.
In his eyes, there’s no need for interrogation.
If he wanted, he could flatten them with a sweep of his hand now.
Especially in a few days, when his troops and the five hundred elite brought by Feng Xiaochen arrive in Shishan County, he wouldn’t even need to lift a finger to easily dismantle the Xu and Mu Families.
Then.
He ca to the fissure in the rock.
Extending his right hand forward, the Water and Fire True Strength circulated.
In an instant.
A wheel materialized in his hand.
Crimson and black colors intertwined, slowly rotating.
As the wheel expanded, the mountain rock it touched silently disintegrated.
Then, he walked forward, creating a suitable path.
The grain stored in the stone cave needed a sufficiently spacious passage to be transported out, which would improve efficiency and save ti.
A mont later.
He walked along the rock fissure and opened up a passage a yard wide.
As for widening it further, he worried that the mountain’s structure might not be solid enough, posing a risk of collapse.
After completing this simple task, he looked back at the passage behind him.
Due to the increased width, the passage connecting the stone cave was no longer as dark and deep as before.
“It’s done!” he nodded in satisfaction.
Just then.
Bai Luoyu also walked out through the passage he had just opened.
“Brother Jiang…this is truly a miracle!!” Bai Luoyu looked at Jiang Ning, his eyes complex.
He had just instructed his n to interrogate thoroughly, intending to co out and talk to Jiang Ning.
So he chose to follow Jiang Ning’s steps.
But when he exited the cave and arrived at the rock fissure where he had co from, he discovered that the previously narrow fissure, which could only allow one person to pass, had now beco a yard wide.
Such a width allowed not only people but even carriages to pass through.
And the cause of all this change, outside of Jiang Ning, couldn’t possibly be anyone else.
“Brother Bai, have you figured out how to deal with the Xu and Mu Families?” Jiang Ning asked again.
“What’s Brother Jiang’s suggestion?” Bai Luoyu replied.
“Let’s call out both family heads tomorrow for questioning, give them one last chance. If they remain obstinate, then act decisively and let these two families beco history!” Jiang Ning said.
Hearing Jiang Ning’s words, Bai Luoyu was secretly shocked.
This simple sentence implied a sea of blood, deciding the fate of these two families, which had dominated Shishan County for a century.
“This… seems a bit unlawful, right?” Bai Luoyu hesitated.
Coming from a prestigious family, he instinctively preferred not to act so ruthlessly, giving consideration to mutual dignity.
If you leave no dignity today, neither will they tomorrow, and eventually, it might co back to your family soday.
No one can guarantee that their family will prosper forever, maintaining eternal glory.
“Law!” Jiang Ning said, “Right now, we are the law!”
He then glanced indifferently at Bai Luoyu.
“Considering the actions of the Xu and Mu Families, giving them one last chance is already exceptionally lenient!”
“Then… let it be as Brother Jiang says!” Bai Luoyu nodded.
…
Returning from Shishan Mountain, the sky was already light.
Jiang Ning no longer bothered with the rest, leaving it all for Bai Luoyu to handle.
Then he lay down and dozed off for a while.
Upon waking, Bai Luoyu inford him that he had arranged a eting at noon with the family heads of the Xu and Mu Families.
To discuss again the issue of distributing grain to assist the people.
“Brother Jiang, is this arrangent okay?” Bai Luoyu asked Jiang Ning in the courtyard.
“I’ll arrive later,” Jiang Ning replied.
“No problem!” Bai Luoyu nodded, “I understand that noon is Brother Jiang’s practice ti!”
After a brief discussion, Bai Luoyu hastily departed once again.
The God Worship Sect is leaderless, the Yellow Heaven Sect is leaderless, and tens of thousands of stone asures of grain are in hand.
A few matters compounded, making Bai Luoyu unable to stop completely.
In the quadrangle courtyard.
With Bai Luoyu’s departure, it instantly beca completely quiet again.
Under the intense morning sunlight.
Jiang Ning fell into contemplation once more.
With his current strength, dealing with the God Worship Sect or the local Xu and Mu Families in Shishan County was just minor squabbles.
Yet facing the Five Sword Sect, or even the stronger Divine Sword Manor, and the entire Dongling County’s sect forces, he dared not be careless in the slightest.
Though he is currently powerful, those who achieve the rank of Grandmaster are not weaklings.
Who weren’t geniuses of their ti?
No one knows how deep the decades or centuries of accumulation by those Grandmasters are, how many thods, how many secrets they have?
Especially regarding the sect’s heritage, he dared not underestimate it.
No sect would easily reveal its true strength, its heritage.
If a sect’s details are exposed, it could face destruction.
Therefore, he didn’t believe that the Five Sword Sect and Divine Sword Manor, top-tier sects in Dongling County, had just the power they presented.
Under such circumstances, how could he dare be careless?
He could underestimate the two local families of Shishan County, but he must not underestimate the Five Sword Sect.
“Perfect!”
“Using the Xu and Mu Families as bait to test the waters of the Five Sword Sect!”
Jiang Ning thought to himself.
If the Five Sword Sect is extraordinarily strong, he would then slowly plan further, enhancing his strength.
If they aren’t strong enough, then there’s nothing more to say.
He currently lacks resources.
Defeating the Five Sword Sect would not only allow him to seize their resources and wealth, but he could also acquire half of the current wealth accumulated by the Water Moon Sword Palace, along with ten years of tribute.
Either option would enable him to progress easily, even advance several steps.

As the thought passed through his mind, he glanced again at his status panel.
