Astral Apostle

By getting rid of the Wu family, Zhou Jing had also destroyed the local order. However, in the future, there would always be another landlord who would fill in the gaps. The local people were unwilling to change, so he ignored them. After all, everyone had their own personality. As long as they could barely survive, most people would rather endure the humiliation and give in.

In terms of purpose, not everyone was useful. What he needed to do now was to pick out the truly desperate ones and those who were brave and unyielding to form an initial team.

Because he could not cause any trouble for the time being, he did not need too many people. It was enough to get some helpers, any more would not be beneficial to him in the early stages. Too many followers would not allow him to come and go as he pleased.

Moreover, from a darker perspective, without a local power like the Wu family, only by sending another batch of oppressors who also belonged to the old order could he then further arouse the public anger and intensify the conflict to further facilitate the environment needed to cause trouble.

Since ancient times, no matter what sort of society it was, the upper echelons were impossible to be completely devoid of problems. This was the rule. It was no different from a fantasy to have someone who was untainted.

Therefore, he did not intend to establish a new order that belonged to him at this moment. That would be too idealistic and not feasible. This was something that would affect the entire governing body. The magistrates and the surrounding big shots would not turn a blind eye to it. It was too difficult to openly become enemies with the world when the opportunity was not ripe.

The only thing he could do at this moment was to accurately liquidate the individuals and make a name for himself. He could use external forces to break through the closed environment built by the old vested interests. The rest would be temporarily handed over to the locals to adjust naturally.

After today, this village would be allowed to evolve according to the rules of this era. After a short period of "acting on behalf of the heavens", it would be dragged back to its original dark cycle and would reintegrate into the old order of this world. It was even best if these villagers were forced to spit out the benefits that the Wu family had eaten in the future.

After such a series of events, something would gradually begin to change in the hearts of people. This would form a trend… This was one of the few choices he had under his current limited conditions.

Of course, if the villagers here could not take it anymore and dared to really stand up and resist on their own, it would be even better. The more the merrier.

Zhou Jing looked meaningfully at the elders and farmers in front of him. Then, he retracted his gaze and turned to Li Chun and the other two.

"Brothers, this matter started because of me and delayed what you wanted to do. Since this matter has ended, how about we set off?"

Li Chun came back to his senses and nodded with a smile, "It's fine. Let's go."

They had to go to the state capital to settle some matters, so they had previously agreed to travel with Zhou Jing.

The few of them did not stay any longer and left the manor. No one dared to stop them on the way.

Zhou Jing asked Zhang San and the others to go back and pack their luggage, before waiting at the entrance of the village with Li Chun and the other two. As he chatted, he opened the interface.

When he defeated the Wu Family's guests, many messages popped up on the interface.

"A life episode…" Zhou Jing pondered.

...

Not long after, Zhang San and the others finished packing their luggage and came to the village entrance to meet Zhou Jing.

The nine of them met and stepped onto the road to the state capital.

Even when they left, the villagers' plundering of the Wu family was still not over. More and more people rushed over to take a share of the spoils, all of them in high spirits.

On the other side, the Wu family's demise spread throughout the village. Today, the passersby in the village spread Chen Feng's deeds everywhere and his actions were heavily discussed.

Through word of mouth, someone quickly gave Chen Feng a nickname.
