Breaking Limbs

Lin Yu saw Lin Feng's state and poured him a cup of wine, falling into silence for a moment.

After his encounter with Xu Xiong that day, he realized the man was definitely a spoiled brat.

If Xu Xiong suddenly harbored ill intentions and decided to eliminate him, it would be dangerous!

Unless his own strength or background made a Bone Forging Realm expert like Xu Xiong wary!

The best way would naturally be to pass the reserve camp's assessment! And to obtain a Bone Forging Realm cultivation technique to improve his own strength!

"Ah Yu, do you know how to get into the Demon Purging Division?"

Lin Feng asked directly. His strength would be exposed sooner or later when he participated in the selection anyway!

Among some experts with special means, his strength couldn't be hidden.

Like that Miss Yu from that day, she saw through his cultivation level at a glance!

"The Demon Purging Division's reserve camp? I've actually heard my boss mention it.

Basically, each county town will have one.

To reserve talent for the Prefectural City's Demon Purging Division.

As long as you pass the assessment, you can generally get in.

It's just that?"

Lin Yu paused here.

"Just what?"

Lin Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he pressed further.

"The assessment requires you to reach the peak Skin Refining stage before the age of twenty. Moreover, because the Demon Purging Division holds immense power.

It's a blade of the imperial family, fighting Monsters externally and monitoring officials internally.

Preventing corruption, and even more so, once officials are found colluding with Monsters, they can be executed without prior trial!

With such great power, over time, it's hard to maintain fairness. Within the Great Gan, except for those explicitly barred from joining.

All factions want to send their own people into the Demon Purging Division.

Therefore, the Demon Purging Division's recruitment is no longer as fair as it once was!

The chances for talented individuals from common folk to rise have also diminished.

It's still the same as before!

Even for us brothers, even if we could reach the peak Skin Refining stage before twenty, the chances of getting in would be extremely slim due to the scarcity of spots!"

Lin Yu took a swig of wine, saying resentfully.

He had good martial arts talent, and he had also considered entering the Demon Purging Division's reserve camp. But how could the wealthy families willingly give up good things?

"Could it be that Big Brother has also broken through?"

At this moment, Lin Yu suddenly remembered that Lin Feng wouldn't ask this without reason.

"Mm!"

Lin Feng nodded. He had broken through. However, it wasn't the early Skin Refining stage that Lin Yu assumed, but the peak Skin Refining stage.

"Haha, I knew Big Brother was extraordinary!"

"Big Brother has also broken through. If we brothers work together, no matter what, we should be able to support this family!"

Lin Yu laughed, raising his wine glass to clink with Lin Feng's.

Afterward, Lin Feng again tried to probe for information about Bone Forging Realm cultivation techniques.

However, Lin Yu had none. To obtain such a cultivation technique, one needed to perform great service for the gang.

Lin Feng could only think of other ways.

As for the reserve camp, he could only try. He would show enough strength, and if it still didn't work, then he would have nothing more to say!

He could only hope that within the reserve camp, there were still people who were genuinely selecting talent!

"Brother Le, that Zhao Sheng left last night to attend the Zhao Family's grand sacrifice.

He definitely won't be back until after tonight's banquet. Now is the perfect time!"

Sang Biao, a sub-leader beside him, said to A'Le.

"Good! Damn it, I've finally waited for an opportunity! Have the enemy's forces been investigated?"

A'Le cursed!

"Investigated. The strongest among them is that Big Dog, a sub-leader, at the mid Skin Refining stage!

As long as Brother Bao and I go, we'll definitely kill that Big Dog.

And then bring Zhao Sheng's wife and daughter to you, Brother Le, intact!"

Sang Biao said.

"I'll go take a look. It's their territory after all. We'll make it quick! If we drag this out, it'll just cause trouble!"

A'Le thought for a moment, then said.

Just as they were about to set off, a middle-aged constable arrived!

"Ah'Le, where are you guys off to?"

The constable, dressed in a black cotton uniform, walked directly into A'Le's home and asked with a smile.

"Haha, so it's Master Yan. Nothing much, just taking a few brothers out for some fun. What wind blew you this way, old man?"

Upon seeing the other man, A'Le's murderous expression turned into a fawning smile. As he spoke, he signaled for someone to serve Master Yan tea!

If Lin Feng were here, he would have recognized this constable as the one who had given him trouble during the assessment!

"No need for tea. In the area you're in charge of, there's a man named Lin Feng.

This person has offended someone he shouldn't have.

The higher-ups said to break both his arms and legs!

Don't kill him. Let him live a few more days!"

Yan Song said.

"Lin Feng?"

A'Le couldn't recall the name for a moment.

"Brother Le, he's Lin Shi's son!"

Sang Biao reminded him.

"Oh!"

"Don't worry, Master Yan. I'll do exactly as you've ordered!"

A'Le patted his chest.

"It's just that Lin Feng has a little sister, about seven or eight years old, and a mother at home. How should we handle them?"

A'Le then asked Yan Song again.

"Two lowly peasants. Deal with them however you want. Without the men in the family, they probably can't afford the protection fees and head taxes anymore!"

Yan Song said dismissively.

Then, he took out five taels of silver and threw them to A'Le.

"This is a reward for you and your brothers. I want to see results within two days!"

Afterward, Yan Song left without looking back.

He didn't think much of these gang underlings. It was just that the reward for this task was twenty taels.

He had made this trip for the fifteen taels!

"Pfft! Five taels! Trying to bribe a beggar?"

After Yan Song left, A'Le spat on the ground. A sinister look appeared on his face.

"Look at you! Just a dog under Master Xu, aren't you? At your age, you're still only at the late Skin Refining stage, just like me!

Once I break through to the Bone Forging Realm, I'll see how arrogant you are!"

"Let's go, we'll deal with Zhao Sheng's matter first. As for Lin Feng, when he gets back, we'll grab a few people and tie up his whole family.

Break Lin Feng's limbs directly.

Sell his mother to the Spring Red Brothel in the Inner City, and his daughter as a maid. We can even make a profit!"

After giving the order, A'Le led the others towards the shantytown in the east of the city.

A group of five, driving an ox cart, sped along.

Before long, they arrived at the east of the city.

"Big Brother, it's getting late. Be careful on your way back!"

The brothers chatted as they ate, and before they knew it, it was evening.

Lin Yu walked Lin Feng to the door.

"Alright! Be careful when you encounter trouble. Come back when you have time. Your Aunt and Little Sister miss you often!

As I said before, with your Big Brother here, you'll never go hungry!"

Lin Feng waved his hand, signaling Lin Yu to go back.

Then, he turned and left.

Watching Lin Feng walk away and disappear into the darkness.

Lin Yu walked back into the room with a smile.

"This Big Brother! Your Yu isn't an ordinary person either! How come I'm progressing faster than you on the martial path!"

A moment later!

"Clack, clack!"

The sound of hooves and wheels echoed from the doorway. Then the main gate creaked open.

Someone was knocking!

"Is the boss back?"

"No! The boss didn't ride a bullock cart!"

Just as Lin Yu felt strange.

The main gate opened, and a thug who went to open it was kicked flying. He smashed into the wall.

The thug only managed a muffled groan before falling silent! A'Le's powerful kick was more than someone like him could withstand!

"Haha! Take Zhao Sheng's women and daughter away for me!"

A'Le's laughter rang out!
