In other words, the Eight Great Families were an exception in Buck Town. The killing would not work upon encountering members of the Eight Great Families. If a member of the Eight Great Families was attacked and killed without them initiating the fight, their respective family would send people to hunt down and kill the assailant.
That was precisely why the members of the Eight Great Families had immunity. They had a safe place in Buck Town with the town tokens granted by the Eight Great Families. They would not be killed as long as they did not provoke others.
Many cultivators went to great lengths to join the Eight Great Families. Unfortunately, the Eight Great Families only select a thousand individuals from the tens of thousands of slaves arriving in Buck Town each day. The other slaves were not accepted unless they possessed exceptional cultivation, managed to survive on their own, ranked as the top ten cultivators of the four major trial grounds, or succeeded in the semiannual Guard Tournament.
The Guard Tournament was more challenging compared to the ranking in the four major trial grounds. Ordinary cultivators who came to Buck Town were lucky if they became members of the Eight Great Families. Members were divided into three tiers, and it took several hundred years to have a chance to advance to a higher tier. Above the slaves were the servants, and above the servants were the guards.
In other words, the Guard Tournament was merely an opportunity for exceptionally powerful cultivators to join the Eight Great Families. Ordinary cultivators had neither the qualification nor the chance to survive the tournament.
However, both of those options were insignificant for Wilbur. He knew that his cultivation would rapidly improve with the help of the bronze mirror. He previously lacked the opportunity to enter Buck Town, but he was now inside the town.
Having learned about how life was in Buck Town, especially the lives of the slaves, Wilbur felt relieved that he had not been chosen by Divan Reyne to become a member of the Reyne family.
Wilbur looked at Thom and said, "That's right. I did hunt a few beasts and earned some silver coins, but that is money I earned rightfully. Why should I share it with you?"
