The Demon Purging Division Reserve Camp is located in the Inner City!

To establish a large camp in a place as valuable as the Inner City demonstrates the Demon Purging Division's wealth and power!

Within this Inner City, besides the county yamen and the various units attached to it.

Only the four indigenous great families, Zhao, Yu, Li, and Wu, could compare.

The county yamen is situated in the center of the Inner City.

And the Demon Purging Division is located in the eastern part of the Inner City!

With Lin Feng's current speed, it didn't take long before he arrived at the Demon Purging Division Reserve Camp!

At the entrance of the camp stood two stone lions!

There were two guards, both of whom were tall and imposing.

They wore dark, mysterious robes with the characters "Demon Purging" embroidered on their chests.

They looked formidable!

"Halt! This is the Demon Purging Division Reserve Camp. Unauthorized personnel are not permitted to linger!"

One of the guards called out as he saw Lin Feng approaching.

"Sir, I am Lin Feng, here to participate in the assessment!"

Lin Feng cupped his hands towards the guard and then took out five taels of silver from his bosom.

He slipped it into the guard's hand.

"Thank you for your hard work, sirs. Please accept this small sum for some drinks!"

The guard, who had a stern expression, looked at the silver and then smiled!

Those who are sensible and know how to act are generally well-liked!

"So that's how it is. We are indeed recruiting recently. Follow me inside!"

Saying that, the guard led Lin Feng in.

It's easy to deal with the king, but difficult with the underlings.

Lin Feng didn't begrudge the money. After killing Yan Song last night, he had found another fifteen taels of silver on him.

With a total of fifty-six taels of silver, it was only right to use some of it for bribes.

Even though Zhao Sheng said he had already smoothed things over, Lin Feng still needed to make some effort to ensure everything went smoothly.

In a short while, the guard led Lin Feng across a large open space to a grand hall.

Several people were already waiting inside!

"Don't wander off. Wait here for the Examiner!"

The guard brought Lin Feng into the hall, left him with a word, and then returned to the main gate!

Lin Feng walked to the side and observed the people waiting in the hall.

There were eight people, subtly divided into two groups.

Seven of them were gathered together, dressed in fine clothes, adorned with jade pendants, belts, and other accessories. They were clearly not from ordinary families.

The other person, though his clothes weren't torn, was dressed ordinarily!

He likely came from a poor family, just like Lin Feng.

"Another bumpkin! They all think they can soar to the heavens by joining the Demon Purging Division!

They're just dreaming!"

At this moment, a young man in fine clothes with a hooked nose sized up Lin Feng.

Then he spoke mockingly.

The other six also chuckled.

They were all from wealthy families in the city. While not as influential as the Four Great Families, they had already made arrangements.

Their entry into the Demon Purging Division was a sure thing! Today was merely a formality!

Lin Feng looked at them coldly, remaining silent.

When facing such arrogant people, one should simply ignore them.

Once one's strength is sufficient, they can be crushed directly!

At this moment, a member of the Demon Purging Division walked over, frowning, seemingly in a bad mood.

Although this person was short and unremarkable in appearance.

His arrival silenced everyone instantly.

"Come here, report your names!"

The Examiner said, then took out a roster and had everyone register!

When the people in front registered, the examiner didn't even look up.

But when he heard Lin Feng's name, he looked up at him.

After everyone finished registering.

The examiner recorded everything and then led everyone to the assessment location.

The place was simple.

There was only a large stone lock! It looked heavy, at least over a thousand jin!

The examiner first felt everyone's bones and took out a knife, making a few slashes on everyone's bodies!

After confirming, he spoke.

"The cultivation level of all nine of you is sufficient!

The strength of non-martial artists cannot even break the skin, so you pass!"

"But Liu Mancang's bone age exceeds twenty, so he is disqualified! Get out now!"

The examiner said slowly, finally focusing his gaze on Liu Mancang, who, like Lin Feng, came from a poor family!

"Sir, I am only nineteen years old! How can I be over the age limit!"

Liu Mancang heard this, was happy at first, then his expression changed drastically!

His eyes were full of confusion!

He had extraordinary talent, and with very few resources, he had cultivated to this level!

He was actually eliminated!

And he was clearly not over twenty years old!

How could this be?

"You dare to question me?!"

At this moment, the examiner's expression changed, and he said coldly!

The seven brocade-robed youths looked at Liu Mancang, their mouths revealing mocking expressions!

Seeing him eliminated, they were gloating!

However, everyone was also a little curious, how come Lin Feng wasn't eliminated?

"Sir, I am not convinced!"

Liu Mancang's face was flushed with anger, and he finally blurted out this sentence!

Lin Feng heard this and secretly shook his head!

This person is ungrateful, he's probably going to suffer!

As expected, the examiner's aura changed, and a monstrous surge of Bloodline Power erupted!

The next moment, before anyone could even realize what was happening, Liu Mancang was sent flying!

When they looked again, the examiner had already appeared in Liu Mancang's previous position without anyone noticing!

Liu Mancang spat out a mouthful of blood, clearly severely injured!

If the examiner hadn't held back, his life would probably have been lost here!

This was considered the examiner showing mercy, even if he had killed him, no one would have dared to say a word!

Including Lin Feng, everyone's pupils contracted!

This person's strength was too great!

"Get out now!"

The examiner roared again.

Liu Mancang no longer dared to argue and could only stumble out.

A hint of helplessness flashed through Lin Feng's mind. If not for the Zhao Family, his outcome today would probably have been the same!

Even if his cultivation level and age met the requirements, he still wouldn't pass in the end!

Because the spots were limited!

Those from wealthy families would absolutely not allow others to encroach on their share!

Afterward, the examiner had everyone take turns lifting the large stone.

Although their cultivation levels were sufficient, if they had forcefully improved their combat power through some secret methods, their actual strength would not be as strong.

They would also be screened out!

Everyone quickly lifted the stone.

However, the hook-nosed youth only managed to lift it halfway before finally being unable to bear it and quickly put it down.

He almost injured himself.

The hook-nosed youth didn't care about his poor performance at all.

Because he had already bribed the Li Family, one of the Four Great Families, with tens of thousands of taels of silver!

Half of his family's fortune!

The young master of the Li Family had already guaranteed it!

How could there be any mistakes!

Afterward, Lin Feng was the last to take the stage, and he easily lifted the large stone!

Then he gently put it down.

He was the most relaxed among everyone!

The final assessment was complete!

The Examiner looked at Lin Feng and said:

"There are only seven spots available this time."

Lin Feng heard this and saw the Examiner looking at him!

His eyes widened, and his heart leaped into his throat!

Could it be that Zhao Sheng's connections within the Zhao Family weren't strong enough?
