29: Chapter 29 Thunderous Blade

Inside Hall Master Wang Biao's Storage Pouch, the items were quite plentiful.

Besides over two thousand taels in silver notes, there were also two martial arts Secret Manuals!

They were "Tiger Fist" and "Thunder Frenzy Saber."

"Tiger Fist" was a Yellow Grade Low Grade Cultivation Technique, which could be ignored.

"Thunder Frenzy Saber" was a Yellow Grade High Grade Martial Skill; this one was worth practicing.

In addition, there was a crystal-clear jade box.

Through the jade box, one could vaguely see a crimson Heaven And Earth Treasure inside.

Although Lin Feng did not recognize it, judging by its placement in the jade box, this item was likely extraordinary.

"Haha, not bad!" Lin Feng couldn't help but feel great, laughing heartily.

Murder and arson bring a golden belt.

To make money, one must kill more bad people!

From wiping out Hall Master Wang Biao's group this time, Lin Feng's harvest was truly bountiful!

Adding all the silver notes together, there were over six thousand taels!

Furthermore, he obtained a "Thunder Frenzy Saber" that he could Cultivate.

Plus an unknown crimson Heaven And Earth Treasure!

Lin Feng did not rashly consume it.

Once he returned to the martial hall and found out exactly what it was, it wouldn't be too late to take it!

Otherwise, if he accidentally consumed a poison unsuitable for himself, it would be too late for regrets.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng swept everything into his own Storage Pouch.

"Father, Mother, Second Brother, Third Sister, let's go, let's enter the city together!" Lin Feng said loudly to Foster Father Lin Zhenshan's family.

These Slums were the territory of the Black Tiger Gang!

It was said that the Black Tiger Gang's leader, Gang Leader Gao Dahu, had already stepped into the Core Condensation Realm.

Once word of what happened here got out and the Black Tiger Gang's people arrived...

Then Lin Feng and the others wouldn't be able to leave even if they wanted to!

As long as they returned to the Inner City, even someone like Gang Leader Gao Dahu wouldn't dare to act rashly.

After all, the Inner City was guarded by Divine Transformation Realm experts!

A mere Gang Leader Gao Dahu wouldn't be able to cause any waves in the Inner City.

Aside from playing some underhanded schemes in the dark, he would definitely not dare to openly move against Lin Feng.

After Lin Feng finished speaking, he directly picked up his father, Foster Father Lin Zhenshan, on his back and strode toward the Inner City!

Wang Xiufeng, Lin Yi, and Lin Fang quickly followed!

"Big Brother, are we just going to the Inner City like this? Where will we live once we get there?" Lin Yi asked as they walked.

"Don't worry, Second Brother. Big Brother has already purchased a property in the city in advance..." Lin Feng briefly explained the matter of buying the house.

"Ah! Big Brother is amazing! You actually became a formal Martial Artist so quickly and even bought a house in the city!" Lin Yi and Lin Fang looked at Lin Feng with deep admiration!

Hearing this, Foster Father Lin Zhenshan and Wang Xiufeng also showed deep relief and joy.

Last time he came home, Lin Feng had mentioned purchasing a property in the city to take them there to enjoy life.

They had thought it was just Lin Feng's words of comfort.

After all, how easy was it to become a formal Martial Artist?

According to the news Foster Father Lin Zhenshan had gathered, not only was the tuition at the martial hall very expensive, but the number of people who could become formal Martial Artists within half a year was extremely small.

After half a year, ninety percent of people would return empty-handed.

This was also the main reason why Gangs were rampant in the Outer City!

Most of those who were eliminated by the martial halls eventually chose to join Gangs.

Becoming thugs for the Gangs.

Foster Father Lin Zhenshan had originally planned to let Lin Feng stay in the martial hall for half a year.

If he still couldn't become a formal Martial Artist in the end, he would join an Escort Agency to run caravans!

That way, he would at least have a formal livelihood.

He wouldn't have to be like him, staying in the Slums outside the city for a lifetime, guarding a tiny plot of land and living a precarious existence.

He never expected that Lin Feng's return this time would give them such a massive surprise!

Lin Feng had not only become a formal Martial Artist but had also already bought a house in the city.

Moving into the Inner City with Lin Feng this time could be described as a complete leap in social class.

From now on, they would no longer have to suffer the exploitation of Gangs and the oppression of exorbitant taxes like they did in the Outer City.

Because families with a formal Martial Artist could be exempted from many taxes and fees.

And all of this was because of his eldest son, Lin Feng!

"Our Feng'er has truly grown up!" Foster Father Lin Zhenshan murmured.

Two lines of murky tears slid down his cheeks and fell onto Lin Feng's neck.

These were tears of excitement and relief.

"Yes, if it weren't for Feng'er, I'm afraid our whole family would have already become souls under the Black Tiger Gang's blades!" Wang Xiufeng also murmured to herself.

She remembered how she had secretly argued with Foster Father Lin Zhenshan over that Martial Hall Disciple slot!

She had wanted to give that Martial Hall Disciple slot directly to her son, Lin Yi!

After all, Lin Yi was her biological son!

But Foster Father Lin Zhenshan had insisted on his own way, determined to give the Martial Hall Disciple slot to Lin Feng.

Because in Foster Father Lin Zhenshan's eyes, Lin Feng was smarter than Lin Yi and had a brighter future.

Moreover, Foster Father Lin Zhenshan had said something at the time!

Although Lin Feng was adopted, they had raised him since he was a child!

In their hearts, they should treat Lin Feng as if he were their own biological son!

Otherwise, if they showed favoritism and bypassed the eldest son Lin Feng to give the Martial Hall Disciple slot to the second son Lin Yi...

That would surely alienate Lin Feng.

They would definitely regret it in the future.

Wang Xiufeng didn't understand it at the time!

But now, she understood Foster Father Lin Zhenshan's painstaking intentions!

Yes, Old Lin was indeed far-sighted.

If it weren't for Old Lin's wise move back then, the second son Lin Yi would definitely not be as successful as the eldest son is now!

The entire family would have also fallen apart under the oppression of the Black Tiger Gang.

Thinking of this, Wang Xiufeng couldn't help but say to Lin Feng with a face full of guilt, "Feng'er, I'm sorry. Mother once wanted your father to give that Martial Hall Disciple slot to your younger brother. You won't blame Mother, will you?"

"Mother, we are all one family. You don't need to say sorry to me!" Lin Feng replied without hesitation.

Even if the Lin family had given that Martial Hall Disciple slot to Lin Yi back then, Lin Feng would definitely not have had any complaints!

After all, it was only human nature!

Lin Yi was their biological son; it would have been perfectly normal for him to receive the Martial Hall Disciple slot.

On the contrary, the fact that Foster Father Lin Zhenshan gave the slot directly to him had deeply moved Lin Feng.

He had secretly sworn in his heart to work hard at the martial hall and make a name for himself!

Otherwise, he would be letting down Foster Father Lin Zhenshan's family.

Fortunately, he did not fail their expectations.

Now, he had not only become a formal Martial Artist but had also purchased a property in the city.

He could take Foster Father Lin Zhenshan's family to the Inner City to enjoy their lives!

"Feng'er, thank you. You are a good child!" Wang Xiufeng couldn't help but shed tears again.

"By the way, Big Brother, there are still many things at home. Should we go back first? Pack up our belongings and bring them along?" Just then, Lin Fang asked in a crisp voice.

"No need. We can just buy whatever we lack when the time comes!" Lin Feng shook his head.

There were just some pots and pans at home, and they weren't worth much!

If they took a detour home, it would instead waste time!

"Feng'er, the hundred-tael silver note you gave me last time is still hidden in the mouse hole in the woodshed. What should we do?" Foster Father Lin Zhenshan asked.

"We'll find an opportunity to come back and get it later!" Lin Feng replied.

"Mm, alright!" Foster Father Lin Zhenshan knew the current situation was critical and said no more.

Soon, Lin Feng's family drifted further away, disappearing into the thick gray mist at the edge of the Slums.

...

Not long after they left!

The Slums.

At that Threshing Floor!

It was now a sea of people, packed with Black-Clad Men!

On the collars of their clothes, a baring-claws-and-fangs tiger was embroidered!

They were people from the Black Tiger Gang.

The leader was the Black Tiger Gang's leader, Gang Leader Gao Dahu.

"Who was it? Who killed so many of my Black Tiger Gang's people?" Gang Leader Gao Dahu's face was distorted as he roared sternly.

"Reporting to the Gang Leader, according to those commoners, this was done by Lin Feng!" a subordinate quickly replied.

"Lin Feng? Who is he?" Gang Leader Gao Dahu frowned slightly and asked in confusion.

He hadn't heard of this person before!

"Boss, that Lin Feng was originally an adopted son of Foster Father Lin Zhenshan's family. Later, he was found by the Inner City Lin Family, but because of his low bone structure, he was eventually heartlessly expelled. Now, he has joined the Jidao Martial Arts Hall..." That Disciple began to explain in detail.

These matters were no longer a secret; one could find out by asking anyone in the Slums.

"Jidao Martial Arts Hall!" Gang Leader Gao Dahu's face stiffened.

The Jidao Martial Arts Hall was one of the Three Great Martial Halls in the Inner City; even he, Gang Leader Gao Dahu, didn't dare to provoke them!

However, Wang Biao was the Black Tiger Gang's Killing Hall Master. If he just died like this and Gang Leader Gao Dahu ignored it, where would the Black Tiger Gang's prestige be?

Gang Leader Gao Dahu's mind raced as he began to think of a countermeasure.

After a while, his eyes suddenly lit up!

"Haha, I have it! I can't personally take action against you, but others can!" Gang Leader Gao Dahu smiled sinisterly.

After speaking, he quickly beckoned to that subordinate, "Come here."

"What are your orders, Gang Leader?"

"Go to the Fengyun Martial Arts Hall immediately and tell Wang Ao that his father was killed by Lin Feng of the Jidao Martial Arts Hall!" Gang Leader Gao Dahu said.

"Is the Gang Leader talking about Hall Master Wang's son, Wang Ao?" The subordinate was slightly startled.

"Yes, Wang Ao is a Prodigy with superior bone structure. Crushing a tiny Lin Feng to death will be as easy as pie!" Gang Leader Gao Dahu said with a sinister smile.

"The Gang Leader's move of killing with a borrowed knife is truly brilliant!" The subordinate secretly gave a thumbs up.

"By the way, take these five thousand taels in silver notes to Wang Ao and tell him this is our Black Tiger Gang's compensation for his father. As for revenge, let him figure it out himself!"

"Understood, Gang Leader. I'll get right on it!"

"Haha, Lin Feng, oh Lin Feng, you're dead meat this time!" Gang Leader Gao Dahu smiled venomously.
