Urban's Fury: The War Dragon God-Chapter 1307: Ascending Kunlun

"What."

At the temporary residence of the Lin Family, upon receiving the news from the Golden Jade Pavilion, Lin Dong slammed his palm furiously onto the armrest of the chair.

The force released directly shattered the solid wood chair made of water wave ash into pieces.

"Does the Golden Jade Pavilion think my Lin Family is powerless?"

Lin Dong's gaze swept over the manager from the Golden Jade Pavilion, who was also wearing a distressed expression. Everyone knew that this was definitely not a favorable task, but who could have predicted that the token for the C-class room would cause this trouble?

"Master Lin, even if my Golden Jade Pavilion had the courage of a dragon, we wouldn't dare to offend the Lin Family. The matter is simply too baffling."

"Even the entire Golden Jade Pavilion could not have anticipated that representatives from the Xiao Family and Xinglin would come for the exchange. Under those circumstances, we were utterly helpless."

"The Golden Jade Pavilion is built on integrity. The opposing party provided identification, and payment was made. We had no choice."

"I hope Master Lin can be gracious, considering our long-standing respect towards you."

The manager of Golden Jade Pavilion appeared to be a victim as he made his case, while simultaneously retrieving a brocade box from his pocket.

"This item is also a treasure we excavated from a certain ancient tomb. Its origin is unknown, but it can be identified as a Mo Sect mechanism box. What it contains remains a mystery."

"The precision of this mechanism box is unparalleled in the world."

Lin Dong glanced at the mechanism box, snorted coldly, and said, "Leave."

"Yes, thank you, Master Lin, for your generosity."

The pudgy manager hurriedly "rolled" out of the main hall. He didn't want to stay a second longer, not knowing if the Lin Family's Master might slap him to death like with the chair.

"Master, are we just going to let the Golden Jade Pavilion off like that?"

"Although there's a conspiracy behind this, the Golden Jade Pavilion also neglected the Lin Family, otherwise why would they easily hand over the items and now claim to be victims?"

The sword servant beside Lin Dong stepped forward and said.

Lin Dong sat down beside him and replied, "Do you think I don't realize that? Hmph, the cooperation between the Xiao Family and Xinglin is like a mouse trying to babysit a cat."

"Old Xiao has a nature that doesn't share with others, and Xinglin has always been lofty yet lacks strength. Moreover, Old Xiao has previously uprooted a lot of Xinglin's foundation; the enmity between them runs deep."

"How could those stubborn old men of Xinglin change their nature within half a day to cooperate with Old Xiao? It's impossible without someone else's involvement."

"And who exactly is this Li Feng?"

"A young man taking out 20 billion Federation Coins cannot be a no-name in the Ancient Martial World. Moreover, daring to challenge my Lin Family makes him a rarity."

"Even the Top Three Sects wouldn't easily trouble the Lin Family if we don't provoke them."

"So the key issue is this person named Li Feng."

"Only by understanding his background can all answers be found."

"Master, rest assured, even if we have to dig three feet deep, we'll find this person named Li Feng."

"Father."

Just then, Lin Wan'er entered from outside the door.

"Hmm?"

Lin Dong looked at his precious daughter: "What is it?"

"Father, I've been thinking, perhaps this Li Feng we've encountered before."

"Oh?"

Lin Dong and the sword servant looked over. Lin Wan'er continued, "Father, do you remember the incident a month ago when I was abducted?"

"Hmm?"

Lin Dong looked at Lin Wan'er: "Are you saying, this Li Feng is the one who kidnapped you?"

Lin Wan'er nodded.

"There's a high possibility."

"This Li Feng is very wealthy. As far as I know, he's the biggest financier in Sea City, controlling four major banks. Though 20 billion Federation Coins is not a small amount, it's surely within his capacity."

"They say that at the beginning of the year, he acquired one of the top ten groups in Sea City, Century Group, and then directly dismantled and sold it off, profiting hundreds of billions from that alone."

"Also, this Li Feng holds a grudge against our Lin Family."

"In the Grand Martial Arts Arena, he kidnapped me and assaulted Lin Changge. Afterwards, we gathered the four major families to strike at his base in Sea City.

"Ultimately, he fled abroad in despair, but clearly he has not given up."

"I suspect, he heard rumors and came to this Kunlun Sword Conference purposely to irritate us."

Lin Wan'er said through gritted teeth.

Lin Dong considered Lin Wan'er's words to be reasonable: "So, it's this Li Feng opposing us."

"Huh, a mere son-in-law from the mundane world, daring to provoke the Lin Family, no matter his skills."

Lin Dong laughed coldly.

"Father, this Li fellow is rather audacious. I deduced it's him also because Li Feng's grandfather should be Xiao Yu."

"Xiao Yu."

"That Xiao Family celestial talent, partnered with Old Xiao, who later entered Xinglin to become their direct descendant, but stole Xinglin's Dan Formula for the Xiao Family, providing them the opportunity to rise, then fell from grace, shunned by even his allies, and vanished."

Lin Wan'er nodded.

"Hmm, only this explains why the Xiao Family would ally with Xinglin."

Lin Dong tapped his finger on the chair's armrest.

"A mere son-in-law and a traitor, truly playing a good hand; I shall see what they intend to do."

Lin Dong snorted coldly, choosing to adapt to changes, for the enemy is in the dark, while they're in the light, and this is Kunlun, not the Divine Sword Manor, where the Lin Family cannot mobilize many resources.

The Lin Family's inaction allowed the Xiao Family and Xinglin to secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

And as the local power, Kunlun is aware of the situation but did not intervene.

As the Top Three Sects generally remain above such scheming conflicts, they rarely get involved.

For the struggles among the Ancient Martial Six Gates or the Ten Great Families do not affect the status of the Top Three Sects.

Another day passed.

"Get up, today we ascend Kunlun."

"Hmm."

Li Feng performed a quick flip to get out of bed. For the past few days, he stayed obediently in his room, having no contact with the outside world, seemingly indifferent to the external affairs.

But Li Feng knew that a pair of eyes had been watching him from the outside the entire time.

"Senior Sister, why so sudden?"

"Not sudden; haven't we been waiting to ascend Kunlun? It's just that Kunlun is not to be ascended on a whim; these few days prepared us for the plateau climate. But nevertheless, you should mentally prepare before ascending Kunlun."

"Kunlun is not as idyllic as you imagine."

"Oh."

"Senior Sister, what is Kunlun like?"

"You'll understand once we're up there." Gao Yuanyuan teased, stirring Li Feng's curiosity.

Kunlun, the backbone of Yan Country, situated on the western plateau, stretches for thousands of miles with an average altitude exceeding 6000 meters.

The moniker "The Roof of the World" is not undeserved.

The Dao Palace on Kunlun is built atop Kunlun, making it the most enigmatic, and most desirable celestial place.
