Chapter 37: Bronze-Level Divine Constable!

This was also what Su Jie was curious about. Su Wu’s severed arm was also related to the power behind the Black Wolf Bastion.

Su Wu could not help but hesitate. This was the information from the Divine Constable Bureau. He could not tell others casually for he was afraid that Su Jie would do something irrational.

However, when he saw Su Jie’s calm appearance and thought about how Su Jie had made a name for himself in Heiye City as the Ape Demon, he understood that Su Jie did things with his own consideration and was not a rash person!

Thinking of this, a solemn expression appeared on Su Wu’s face. “According to the information I’ve gathered, the Lin family, a wealthy family in Lingyue City, should be behind the Black Wolf Bastion… It’s a money-making machine nurtured by the Lin family.”

“Lingyue City? The Lin family?”

Su Jie had never heard of the Lin family but he had heard of Lingyue City City.

The Great Xia Dynasty was vast and had thirteen states. One state had many counties, and one county was divided into many prefectures. A prefecture spanned thousands of kilometers and there were dozens or hundreds of cities.

Heiye City was just a small city amongst the hundreds of cities in the territory of the Dafeng Prefecture in the Fengyun County of Tianhe State.

As for Lingyue City, it was one of the top three cities in the Dafeng Prefecture. Compared to it, Heiye City was more like a village!

The Lin family was a wealthy family in Lingyue City. They had a high status there. It could be seen how established they were! They were not comparable to ordinary small families!

The Black Wolf Bastion was a money-making machine supported by the Lin family. Even if the Black Wolf Bastion was destroyed, it was not a big deal for the Lin family.

“Sigh, although the Great Xia Dynasty is powerful, it’s difficult to control all the regions because of its vast territory. Many places are ruled by local officials. In addition, there are demons, ghosts, martial artists, sects, hidden immortal sects, and so on. It’s difficult to take care of everything. That’s why the Lin family is such a domineering tyrant.”

Su Wu could not help but sigh.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the Lin family was a giant. However, in the entire Great Xia Empire, they were only local tyrants!

“In this world… the ones who suffer the most are the common people with little power.” Su Jie couldn’t help but sigh. This world was far larger and more complicated than the one he came from.

Only by getting stronger step by step could Su Jie stand on a higher peak and see more of this world!

“The Lin family of Lingyue City?”

Su Jie secretly remembered this name. The Lin family was the culprit behind Su Wu’s arm loss. Su Jie would not let it go so easily.

The days became calmer. Su Jie ended his employment and cooperation with Zhou Yun and practiced martial arts every day.

It was already half a month after the destruction of the Black Wolf Bastion.

“My Body Hardening Technique has also reached the perfected third level. My progress in Ape Demon King Kong Fist has also slowed down. My cultivation progress has only increased by 2% in half a month… I have to obtain a cultivation technique to cultivate my blood and Qi and enter the Blood Qi Realm next!”

That evening, Su Jie cracked his knuckles and pondered.

The Su Jie then has reached the perfected third level of Body Hardening Technique. His Ape Demon King Kong Fist, which reached the fourth level, would not have a qualitative leap in a short period of time. He probably encountered a bottleneck. Su Jie understood that he had to obtain a Blood Qi realm cultivation technique to transform his Qi and blood and enter the blood and qi realm level!

Su Jie was prepared to ask Su Wu if he knew where to obtain a Qi and blood cultivation technique.

However, to Su Jie’s surprise, a guest arrived at the Su residence. In the living room, Su Wu was talking to a slender man in plain clothes. The man had an extraordinary aura and was obviously not an ordinary person.

“Su Wu, is this your son? He’s indeed talented. Like father, like son!”

When the man saw Su Jie, he smiled and knew that Su Jie, who looked a little similar to Su Wu, was definitely his son.

“Well, Jie’er, let me introduce you. This is Constable Liu Guangqi, a bronze-level divine constable of the Divine Constable Bureau.”

When Su Wu saw Su Jie, he also introduced this man to him.

“A bronze-level divine constable from the Divine Constable Bureau?”

Su Jie was slightly surprised.

Su Jie had heard Su Wu talk about the Divine Constable Bureau.

The Divine Constable Bureau was a special organization in the Great Xia Dynasty, similar to the Embroidered Uniform Guards. Those who could join it were all elites.

In the Divine Constable Bureau, ordinary divine constables made up most of its ranks. Su Wu belonged to this level and above him were bronze, silver, and gold divine constables!

The person in front of him, Liu Guangqi, was the bronze-level divine constable of the Divine Constable Bureau. He was an elite and also Su Wu’s superior!

“Greetings, Constable Liu.” Su Jie nodded politely at Liu Guangqi and sat down at the side. He was also curious about why Liu Guangqi personally came to the Su Residence.

Liu Guangqi and Su Wu continued their conversation. Liu Guangqi retracted his gaze from Su Jie and said to Su Wu, “Previously, you asked me to find a way to get a Vitality Creation Pill… but this Vitality Creation Pill can regrow a person’s limbs. It’s a precious treasure. Not to mention me, even a Gold-level divine constable would find it difficult to get one.”

“In that case… Sorry for the trouble Constable Liu.” Su Wu’s eyes darkened slightly.

Su Wu had lost an arm. Of course, he was unwilling to go from a martial artist to a cripple. He asked his superior for help, wanting to see if he could get a Vitality Creation Pill that could regrow limbs.

However, it was no exaggeration to say that the value of this Vitality Creation Pill was far less than ten Su Wus combined. The Divine Constable Bureau naturally rejected it, even if Su Wu’s injuries were caused by carrying out the Divine Constable Bureau’s mission!

When Su Jie heard the conversation between the two sides, he was undoubtedly secretly furious although he understood the Divine Constable Bureau’s decision. Su Wu had served the Divine Constable Bureau for many years but in the end, he ended up like that.

Moreover, the Divine Constable Bureau had the ability to regrow Su Wu’s limbs but the price was too high. The Divine Constable Bureau felt that Su Wu was not worth paying such a huge price for!

Liu Guangqi continued, “The injuries you suffered are from carrying out a mission so your salary will be given to you on time every month, not a single cent less. Rest well.”

Su Wu smiled and said nothing. He knew that with a broken arm, it would be difficult for him to work in the Divine Constable Bureau. It was equivalent to early retirement, even though he would still be paid.

Liu Guangqi looked at Su Wu. “Previously, you said that you wanted your son to join the Divine Constable Bureau. I can test him and recommend him.”

Liu Guangqi also knew that Su Wu had contributed a lot to the Divine Constable Bureau. He was diligent and brave. Nevertheless, Su Wu could no longer work in the Divine Constable Bureau.

Su Wu had previously planned to let Su Jie join the Divine Constable Bureau to gain experience and obtain more cultivation resources. He had mentioned it to Liu Guangqi before. Now, Liu Guangqi has taken the initiative to suggest that Su Jie could work under him.

If it were the Su Wu of the past, he would agree. However, Su Wu said: “Jie’er has already grown up. He can decide his own life.”

Joining the Divine Constable Bureau was indeed a good choice. However, Su Wu was worried that Su Jie would encounter something similar if he joined the Divine Constable Bureau, so he let Su Jie decide for himself.

Su Jie stared at Liu Guangqi and said: “Constable Liu, I’m not interested in joining the Divine Constable Bureau.”

If he joined the Divine Constable Bureau, Su Jie believed that with his ability, he would be able to obtain more cultivation resources and cultivation techniques to cultivate his blood and Qi.

However, Su Wu had lost an arm yet the Divine Constable Bureau were unwilling to pay the price for his recovery despite being able to. Of course, Su Jie was angry. No way would he work for the Divine Constable Bureau!
