93. Heaven's Will in One Knife (seeking more reads)

As for the unfair punishment from the Flying Feather Immortal Palace, Xu Xing felt nothing at all.

Firstly, this was not something he had personally experienced.

Secondly, powers in the world were generally like this.

The laws of the Immortal Palace seemed fair and strict, but they were much like those of the Imperial Court, which invoked the "eight not-discussed" for nobles and imperial relatives.

What did "eight not-discussed" mean? It meant that for certain individuals of noble status, the punishment for the same crime would differ.

The Tang Code states: "When a crime is committed, it falls under the eight discussions; its severity does not lie in the penal statutes."
