Break Their Arms and Legs

Lin Yu saw Lin Feng like this and poured him a cup of wine. For a moment, he too fell silent.

After coming into contact with Xu Xiong that day, he had discovered that the man was absolutely a spoiled young master.

If Xu Xiong happened to harbor malicious intentions and wanted to get rid of him, then things would be dangerous!

Unless his strength or background was enough to make Xu Qiang, a Bone Forging Realm expert, wary!

The best way was naturally to pass the Demon Purging Division Reserve Camp assessment! He also needed to obtain a Bone Forging Realm Cultivation Technique and raise his strength!

"Ah Yu, do you know how one enters the Demon Purging Division?"

Lin Feng asked directly. In any case, once he went to take part in the selection, his strength would sooner or later be exposed!

Among experts with certain special methods, he would not be able to hide his strength either.

Like that Miss from the Yu Family that day—she had seen through his cultivation at a glance!

"The Demon Purging Division Reserve Camp? I really did hear my boss mention it.

Basically, every county city has one.

They stockpile talent for the Demon Purging Division in the prefectural city.

As long as you pass the assessment, you can generally enter.

It's just that..."

Lin Yu paused here.

"Just what?"

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

"The assessment requires one to reach peak Skin Refining stage before the age of twenty. And because the Demon Purging Division holds immense authority—

it is a blade in the imperial family's hand. Externally, it fights Monsters. Internally, it supervises the hundred officials.

It prevents officials from embezzling, and what is more, should any official be discovered colluding with Monsters, they may be executed first and reported afterward!

With such great authority, as time passed, it became difficult to maintain things in Great Gan as they once were. Aside from a set group of people barred from joining,

every faction wants to send its own people into the Demon Purging Division.

Thus, recruitment by the Demon Purging Division is no longer as fair as it was in the beginning!

The chances for talented figures among ordinary commoners to rise to prominence have also become smaller.

Just like before!

Even if we brothers can reach peak Skin Refining stage before twenty, with so few slots, our chances of getting in are still tiny!"

Lin Yu took a gulp of wine and said bitterly.

His martial talent was not bad. How could he not have thought about joining the Demon Purging Division Reserve Camp? But how could those wealthy and noble households possibly hand over something good like that on a silver platter?

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

At that moment, Lin Yu suddenly recalled that Lin Feng would not have asked about this for no reason.

"Mm!"

Lin Feng nodded. He had indeed broken through. It just was not the early Skin Refining stage Lin Yu imagined, but peak Skin Refining stage.

"Haha, I knew Big Brother was no ordinary man!"

"Big Brother has broken through too. With us brothers working together with one heart, no matter what, we should be able to hold up this Household!"

Lin Yu laughed, raised his wine cup, and clinked it against Lin Feng's.

Afterward, Lin Feng once again probed indirectly about a Cultivation Technique for the Bone Forging Realm.

But Lin Yu did not have one at all. To obtain such a Cultivation Technique, one had to render great service to the gang.

Lin Feng could only think of another way.

As for the Reserve Camp, he could only give it a try. He would display sufficient strength; if that still did not work, then he would have nothing to say!

He could only hope that there were still people in the Reserve Camp who were genuinely selecting talent!

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

He definitely will not return until tonight, after having a round of drinks. Now is the perfect time!"

The sub-leader Sang Biao said to A'Le.

"Good! Damn it, we've finally waited for an opportunity! Have you investigated their manpower?"

A'Le cursed.

"We've checked it out. The strongest is only that Big Dog, a sub-leader at mid Skin Refining.

As long as A'Bao and I go over, we'll definitely kill that dog.

Then we'll bring Zhao Sheng's wife and daughter over to Brother Le completely intact!"

Sang Biao said.

"I'll make a trip over myself. That is their territory after all, so we need to finish this quickly! If we drag things out too long, trouble could easily arise!"

A'Le thought for a moment, then said.

Just as he was about to set off, a middle-aged constable arrived.

"Ah Le, what are you going out to do?"

The constable in black uniform walked straight into A'Le's home and asked with a smile.

"Haha, so it's Master Yan. Nothing much—I was just about to take a few brothers out for some fun. What wind has blown you here, sir?"

When A'Le saw him, the murderous look on his face transformed into a fawning smile. As he spoke, he was about to have someone serve Yan Song tea!

If Lin Feng had been here, he would have recognized this constable as the very man who had made things difficult for him during the assessment!

"No need for tea. In the area under your control, there's someone named Lin Feng.

This man offended someone he should not have offended.

The higher-ups said to break both his hands and feet!

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

Yan Song said.

"Lin Feng?"

For a moment, A'Le could not recall who this person was.

"Brother Le, Lin Shi's son!"

Sang Biao reminded him.

"Oh!"

"Don't worry, Master Yan. I'll definitely carry out your orders!"

A'Le patted his chest.

"But Lin Feng has a seven- or eight-year-old younger sister at home, as well as a mother. How should those two be dealt with?"

A'Le then asked Yan Song.

"Two lowly commoners. Deal with them however you want. With no man left in the Household, I'm afraid they won't be able to pay the protection fees or head tax either!"

Yan Song said carelessly.

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

"This is reward money for you brothers. Within two days, I want to see results!"

Afterward, Yan Song left without even looking back.

Those little gang lackeys were beneath his notice. It was only because the reward this time was twenty taels of silver

that he had made this trip for the sake of fifteen taels!

"Pah! Five taels! Is he sending off beggars?"

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

"Look how capable you think you are! Aren't you just a dog under Master Xu? At your age, you're still only late Skin Refining, just like me!

Once I advance into the Bone Forging Realm, let's see how you can keep being so arrogant!"

"Come on, let's handle Zhao Sheng's matter first. As for Lin Feng, once we return, we'll get a few more men to tie up his whole family.

Break Lin Feng's hands and feet directly.

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

After giving the order, A'Le led the others toward the Shantytown in the east of the city.

The group of five drove an ox cart, urging the ox on at full speed.

Before long, they arrived in the eastern part of the city.

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

The two brothers ate and chatted, and before they knew it, night had fallen.

Lin Yu walked Lin Feng to the door.

"Alright! Be careful when trouble comes. Come back whenever you have time—your aunt and little sister miss you often!

Same as before: with Big Brother here, we won't go hungry!"

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

Then he strode away.

Watching Lin Feng walk farther and farther away until he vanished into the darkness,

Lin Yu smiled and returned to the room.

"This Big Brother of mine! I, Lin Yu, am no ordinary man either! How can I not walk farther than you on the martial path?"

A while later!

"Clatter, clatter!"

The sound of ox hooves and cart wheels rang out at the entrance. Then the front gate began to shake.

Someone was knocking!

"Has Boss returned?"

"No! Boss didn't ride an ox cart over!"

Just as Lin Yu was feeling puzzled,

the gate was thrown open, and one lackey who had gone out to answer the door was kicked flying. He smashed into the wall.

The lackey only let out a muffled groan before falling silent! A'Le's heavy, powerful kick was not something a person like him could withstand!

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

A'Le's laughter rang out!
