The duty of the Kyoto Defense Department is to be responsible for all security matters in Kyoto and to arrest cultivators and mortals who are hostile or violate the "Mortal Immortal Convention". As the Minister of Defense, Ye Feng naturally needs some privileges to maintain normal work.
Perhaps if you say that in a society governed by the rule of law there are still people who have privileges, then you are just making excuses. Don't you also see that the legal society where no one has privileges is the same as the mortal society that Ye Feng lives in now?
Just to give you an example, the society ruled by law you talk about has a strong enough people's force to ensure that the law is not despised by anyone, and to ensure that the dignity of the law can be defended when the law is challenged. But does Ye Feng's "Mortal Immortal Pact" have its own arms and strength to defend its dignity?
Materialist theory says: The material base determines the superstructure. Only by first having enough food to satisfy your survival needs can you have the mind and brainpower to create art, literature, etc. to enrich your spiritual needs. In the same way, the legal system requirements of a social stage are determined by the basic protection needs at that moment. If the mortal civilization can solve all problems by relying on its own strength, then it will naturally have the confidence and should demand equality for all people. But if the law of the "Mortal Immortal Convention" does not have its own power to maintain its own prestige, then it must temporarily grant privileges to some people and let them maintain the prestige of the law on their behalf. After all, a law without power is defective, and it is naturally necessary There is a way to remedy the shortcomings, and that is to grant privileges
In fact, as the Minister of Defense, Ye Feng was given corresponding privileges, not permanently, but just forced by the current situation. In other words, in a certain future, these privileges will definitely be taken back. And in fact, Ye Feng will only accept military orders abroad. After handling the special situation, Ye Feng still needs to explain the situation to the highest authority in Kyoto - the Kyoto Mortal Immortal Committee, and the Mortal Immortal Committee will make the decision. This is already the most reasonable institutional arrangement under the current circumstances.
Xia Yu's situation was just within Ye Feng's privilege range. Ye Feng needs talents like Xia Yu to contribute to the growth and development of the mortal civilization, and at the same time, Xia Yu is not the real enemy of the mortal civilization. Therefore, Ye Feng can forgive the punishment at his discretion, but of course it is impossible to completely pardon Xia Yu. After all, Xia Yu committed the crime of endangering the civilization of mortal immortals. This is an unchanging fact. No matter how privileged Ye Feng was, he could not forgive Xia Yu's sins. Ye Feng is the king, but the "Mortal Immortal Convention" is not the king's law. Ye Feng himself cannot be the first person to trample on the "Mortal Immortal Convention"
. . .
Ye Feng continued to Xia Xue, "During your control period, as long as you do not escape from Kyoto or engage in behavior that endangers the civilization of mortals, this neck ring will actually not exist for you. But on the contrary, During the control period, if you violate any of them, this neck ring will kill you, do you understand?"
The main reason for this is that Mortal Immortal Civilization is now in the stage of comprehensive construction and lacks everything, especially money. Imprisoning immortal cultivators is already a waste of resources, so detaining mortals, and for those who pose little or no threat, the Mortal Immortal Convention has chosen the method of neck ring control. Ye Feng's see-through skill judged that Xia Yu was no longer a threat at this moment.
Xia Yu was stunned on the spot, and suddenly asked loudly in an almost hysterical tone, "Minister Ye, I have wielded my sword against the mortal civilization, why do you still forgive me like this?"
Ye Feng looked at Xia Xue calmly and looked at the bright moon in the sky. After counting the time, it was time to take over Xiaojin's place, so he said: "You did wield your sword against the mortal civilization, but you are still a citizen of Kyoto. , while abiding by the Mortal Immortal Convention and being bound by it, you are naturally protected by it. So haven't you been punished? Besides, you are indeed an outstanding talent, and I need your talent. And I punish you and I need your talent. , are the two contradictory?"
Ye Feng paused and smiled at Xia Xue: "I am very strong. If I can't even solve your situation, how can I protect the mortal civilization?"
Xia Xue looked at Ye Feng blankly, and finally understood: this person is really strong, and it doesn't just mean that he is strong in terms of strength. And even if the person in front of you has no power, he is definitely worthy of the word "strong"
So Xia Xue bowed to Ye Feng: "Minister Ye, thank you, and, I'm sorry, I was wrong before."
Ye Feng glanced at Xia Xue, knowing that she sincerely admitted her mistake, and said seriously
"Okay, my mission is completed. It's time to say goodbye."
Saying that, Ye Feng turned around and left.
Suddenly Xia Xue asked, "How is the Han family?"
Although Xia Xue could guess the fate of the Han family, she actually didn't care whether the Han family would be wiped out. She just wanted to know about her parents. Could it be that Ye Feng had wiped out the whole family and left no one behind, and was just implicated? At the same time, she also prepared for the worst
Ye Feng looked at Xia Xue coldly. Ye Feng knew what she really wanted to know, so he said, "My parents are still alive. I did not kill the innocent, old, weak, women and children of the Han family, and I did not implicate them. If you plan to take them to Kyoto, If you stay here, I will arrange for someone to monitor you and protect you. As for the rest,"
As he spoke, Ye Feng looked at Xia Xue with cold eyes, making Xia Xue suddenly feel as shuddering as if he was in a winter ice cave.
But Ye Feng suddenly said with an evil smile, "As for the rest, please remember, Miss Xia Xue, that I am not a good person, but a heinous person. One day, when the mortal civilization is powerful like you, With the efforts of others, after growing up and becoming stronger, people like me will definitely be judged by the Mortal Immortal Convention. But I still look forward to that day coming soon."
At that moment, Xia Xue was so fascinated by Ye Feng's extremely dangerous charm that he was neither good nor evil, that he didn't even know when Ye Feng left. But in the end, Xia Yu still loved to wear the necklace that might kill her on her neck.
. . .
In fact, in this world, the strong bully the weak and kill the weak. In the past, the world of immortality told everyone from the perspective of strength that this phenomenon is reasonable and natural. It is like a person who is 2 meters taller than a person who is 1.6 meters tall. It is the most normal principle that people should be the same height
However, the mortal civilization is from a human perspective and tells everyone that everyone is equal. It is unreasonable and not natural for the strong to bully the weak and kill the weak.
Therefore, the civilization of cultivating immortals and the civilization of mortal immortals are two civilizations with different stances from the beginning, and they will eventually face each other in war.
The most terrifying thing about the civilization of the strong in the world of immortality is not how many weak mortals the immortals have killed, but that everyone is accustomed to the loss of life of the weak, including both the strong and the weak.
