Chapter 96 Advancement
The hall master was greatly alarmed.
He knew about Lu Lin's record.
He single-handedly killed the protected Steward Huang.
Last night, he once again fought against a hundred men, killing dozens of skilled members of the River Gang.
If they really want to harm him, he won't come out on top.
"Boss, save me!"
The hall master hurriedly lay down on the ground and crawled back towards the Qujiang River.
"Lu Lin, that's enough!"
Qu Jianghe stood up. "Old Zhou's death is still under investigation. Are you going to continue the killing? Do you even consider me, the gang leader, to be a part of your society?"
Lu Lin didn't make a move, but instead smiled at Qu Jianghe.
"Master, I was just trying to scare him."
He glanced down at the dwarf leader lying on the ground, his image completely ruined, and sneered, "This guy is just too cowardly. With someone like that as a dwarf leader, no wonder our Qingshui Gang, as an old gang, has been overshadowed by the Wuhu Gang and the Heli Gang."
"Lu Lin, you're talking nonsense!"
Upon seeing Lu Lin yield, the gang leader immediately jumped up, "What do you know? It's just that our gang leader is kind-hearted and doesn't want the brothers in the gang to suffer or get hurt. How come you describe it in such a despicable way?"
Lu Lin glared at him.
The hall master, however, was not afraid at all.
He was convinced that Lu Lin would not do anything to him in the Hall of Righteousness, especially with the gang leader in front of him.
But the next second.
Lu Lin punched the hall master in the face.
Click.
puff.
The facial bones are completely broken.
Blood splattered.
"Lu Lin, you!"
Qu Jianghe was furious and drew his long sword to attack.
Lu Lin would never give him a chance.
He dodged Qu Jianghe's knife, and with his long sword, he slashed down his forearm into Qu Jianghe's chest.
"Boss, I've already given him a chance."
"But you..."
Qu Jianghe's eyes widened, as if questioning Lu Lin: You gave the host a chance, but why didn't you give me one?
Lu Lin drew his sword.
Qu Jianghe's body fell backward.
"There's no other way. My mission is to kill the leader of the Clear Water Gang. This hall master is just an afterthought."
Lu Lin suddenly struck, killing the hall master and the gang leader in succession, which greatly frightened the others.
Revolt?
Are you kidding? With Lu Lin's fighting skills, who can be his match?
obedience?
That's impossible. The gang leader just died, his body is still warm, and they immediately worship Lu Lin? Wouldn't that be too disloyal?
"Greetings, Leader!"
Some people are still in the idea stage.
Some people have already started taking action.
Before long, the hall masters and deputy hall masters were kneeling on the ground.
They dared not run.
They dared not resist.
We have no choice but to comply.
Moreover, many people thought that Lu Lin's bloodthirstiness might lead them to recoup the business they had lost over the past ten or twenty years.
Wouldn't it be wonderful if they were the only gang in the entire Clearwater Bay?
Lu Lin was stunned by the reactions of these people.
Did he accidentally become the gang leader?
Although he didn't intend to join a gang, Lu Lin had a sudden thought.
People's lives were tough these days. If they were lucky, they could manage to make ends meet; if they were unlucky, they had no choice but to sell their children.
He was a ghostwriter, and also had some official background.
If we can truly bring this area under our control, we can then hand it over to the government...
Wait, no!
On the surface, Daliang appears prosperous and peaceful, but inside, countless petty schemes and despicable acts are brewing.
Take the Monkey Guard for example.
Before I saw them, I thought these twelve guards were all loyal and righteous men protecting the capital.
However, after they arrived in Qinbei Prefecture, although they quickly quelled the rebellious Sanbao Sect, they were not exactly good people.
Forcible requisition, robbery, and forced conscription.
And it's been almost three months, and they haven't shown any sign of leaving.
On the surface, it is said that the cause of chaos caused by cults and evil people must be thoroughly eliminated.
However, the information Lu Lin and Mr. Hou learned was that the Spirit Monkey Guard wanted to become independent and take advantage of the rare opportunity to go out to completely establish itself in Qinbei Prefecture and turn it into their base.
Government officials and gangs cannot be trusted.
In this day and age, the only person you can trust is yourself.
Then...
"Get up, all of you. Tell me about the situation in our gang."
Upon seeing this, everyone's faces immediately lit up with joy.
First came the four hall masters, then the left and right elders, and finally the deputy gang leader.
After the report, Lu Lin gained some understanding of the Qingshui Gang's situation.
There are 23 people at the Bone Refining level, 44 people at the Flesh Refining level, and 98 people at the Skin Refining level.
In addition, there are about three hundred ordinary members.
However, those ordinary gang members were actually just fishermen. When it came to a real fight, they could only put on a show and couldn't do anything significant.
The Qingshui Gang is quite wealthy.
This island was built by the Qingshui Gang over generations.
Various shops and stores have to pay rent every month.
This thing may look like a goose that lays golden eggs, but the goose itself is worthless.
The two elders said that they were in charge of the gang's treasury and could raise about 10,000 taels of silver in cash and about 30,000 taels of silver in supplies.
Upon hearing this, Lu Lin couldn't help but perk up.
He acts as a ghostwriter, fighting bandits and killing enemies, all for money and resources so he can cultivate.
If he had these resources, he could quickly reach the peak of the Bone Refining level and begin his attempt to break through to the Five Organs level.
"Take me to the storeroom. All gang affairs are proceeding as usual, under the supervision of the vice-leader."
"yes!"
Everyone left.
Lu Lin followed the two elders to the storeroom.
This trip had a significant impact; upon seeing the abundant resources and silver, Lu Lin was completely satisfied.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Lu Lin praised the two elders and asked them to send someone to deliver what he needed to the gang leader's room.
Qu Jianghe's wife and children were not on the island, but were arranged by him to live in Qingshuiying, a nearby prefectural city.
So there were no family members or anything in the room, and Lu Lin immediately began cultivating.
Until nightfall.
Lu Lin has completed the tempering of the Dazhui (GV14).
After waking up, Lu Lin asked the kitchen to prepare some food, then told them he was going into seclusion before entering his room.
One night passed.
Lu Lin's skull has been tempered.
At this point, Lu Lin achieved the perfection of bone refining, having soared from flesh refining to the perfection of bone refining overnight.
"It's just that this Divine Stone is of little use to me, otherwise it would be easier to enter the Five Organs level."
"That's not right either. I can already see my own body internally. The difficulty of the next stage of cultivation will not lie in internal vision."
Lu Lin shook his head and picked up the Divine Stone that had fallen to the ground.
But just then...
The little bell in his mind began to ring.
It kept ringing and clanging.
Lu Lin immediately became alert.
But after looking around, he didn't find anything unusual.
Picking up the Divine Stone again, the little bell began to ring once more.
"Is it not a warning, but because of the Divine Stone?"
Lu Lin was puzzled. He had picked up the Divine Stone before, but the little bell hadn't reacted much. Why was it suddenly changing so much now?
Lu Lin held the Divine Stone close to his mind.
"Little bell, what do you need this for?"
The little bell jingled incessantly.
Lu Lin didn't understand what the little bell meant for a long time.
