Urban's Fury: The War Dragon God-Chapter 1607: Ignorance Is Fearless

The old man glanced at Li Feng, truly living up to the saying: a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers; ignorance is fearless.

Anyone with a little understanding of the situation wouldn't rush up so recklessly. Do you think that clearing the hundredth floor of the Heaven Tower qualifies you to establish a family in the Sixth Ring?

That's just a stepping stone, but having a stepping stone is far from enough.

"Do you understand now? If I were you, I'd leave immediately. Wanting to set up a family without three generations of effort is almost impossible. Even so, to establish oneself, you need to be mentally prepared."

"To become powerful, you have to climb on others' shoulders. It's a fundamental conflict; no one will give way, understand?"

The old man spoke harshly.

"It's better for you to take your women and work hard to have children, cultivate them for the next generation, and come back when you have enough foundation."

"You come alone with a few women and want to establish yourself here, starting a family is a joke. Don't think beating up a few rich kids at the city gate means you can run rampant here."

"Families that establish in the Sixth Ring, even the worst have several generations of foundation; moreover, the cultivation resources here are far richer than those in the Lower Three Rings. Do you know how big the gap is?"

"Especially for someone like you, with no background and no connections; when the time comes, more than one or two families will want to take a bite out of you. Not to mention, the city gate guards you beat up are probably waiting for you to start a family here, so they can openly kill you and take your women."

Listening to the old man's words, the three women turned slightly pale.

Ran Yue, though she grew up in the Sixth Ring, wasn't aware of this, as the Ran Family was around since her birth. Had it not fallen into hard times and declined, she wouldn't have ended up in the Lower Three Rings. Now she realizes that the Sixth Ring is not all beauty, but much more cruelty.

Xiao Luobing looked a bit dumbfounded; it's like being stuck between a rock and a hard place. They were forced up here: having offended two of the three major forces in the Ninth Ring, and owing a debt to the third. They thought moving up would provide a path for survival, but after the old man's words, they realized it was just another den of wolves.

Xiao Luobing couldn't help but turn to Li Feng: "Li Feng, what do we do now?"

Li Feng took a deep breath. Apparently, the old man said things he'd never thought of. But is there a way back now?

Retreating to the Lower Three Rings?

Clearly not an option. He'd already killed many in the Dragon Tiger Sect, and certainly, they'd need to kill him to assert dominance. And going down to hide wouldn't work either; they are alone and have no footing in Ancestor Dragon City.

The resistance force where Zi Yan was might have some foundation in Ancestor Dragon City, but probably wouldn't be of much help, maybe just some intelligence at most.

Clearly not usable, and Li Feng didn't want to get too involved with them either. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Ran Yue may be a local of Ancestor Dragon City, but her family's power had long been destroyed and annexed, leaving her alone. Helping him was out of the question; if her identity was exposed, it might attract many enemies from the past.

The situation truly is starting from scratch, a hellish difficulty.

Having thought quickly, Li Feng made a decision: "I thank you for your guidance, but since I've stepped onto this land, there's no reason to retreat."

"I hope you can show some mercy today, as I am determined to establish here and now."

The old man lifted an eyebrow to look at Li Feng.

"Young lad, are you truly decided?"

Li Feng nodded: "No regrets in death."

"You have spirit."

The old man chuckled: "But it's still ten thousand Golden Spirit Stones. They are not for your contract conversion, but as a deposit for establishing yourself in the Sixth Ring. This money must be paid."

"Oh!"

Li Feng looked embarrassed. After all that talk, it was still about money, and the problem was he had none.

"Can I write an IOU?"

In any case, lice don't itch when they multiply, debts don't worry when they increase.

Thinking about it, he, the great Dragon King, a patron of Huacheng, never short on money, had fallen to such a state in Kunlun Void's Ancestor Dragon City.

The old man, seeing Li Feng's cheeky request for an IOU, paused, then burst out laughing: "Interesting, it's the first time someone's come to me for an IOU."

"Since you asked, I can't refuse, but you need some collateral, right?"

The old man couldn't help but glance at Xiao Luobing.

Xiao Luobing couldn't help but hide behind Li Feng; this old man's eyes were sly.

"The wolf cub and the Spirit Armors on the three of them can be the collateral. The period is for one month. After one month, you bring the Golden Spirit Stones, and your items are yours again. If not, they become mine."

"Alright."

This time Li Feng didn't hesitate, turning to lift the wolf cub from Xiao Luobing's arms: "I'll leave this little white here, but...!"

The old man waved his hand before Li Feng could finish: "You can keep the Armor on. If the time comes, no one dares to seize things from my City Lord Mansion."

"And don't forget, you still owe me a favor. We'll talk about that if you survive; if you die, it's all over anyway."

Seeing the old man lay back on the rocking chair, waving them off, Li Feng and the others turned and left the City Lord's Mansion. The old man's words left them all in a heavy mood, with none of the joy they had felt upon arriving in the Sixth Ring.

"Ran Yue, didn't you live here before? The old man wasn't just scaring us, was he?"

Xiao Luobing turned to Ran Yue.

Ran Yue shook her head, saying: "I don't know either. I was born here, so I never experienced those things. But I think they are true."

"Having lived in the Sixth Ring for over ten years, I've heard about it, but always thought of it as idle gossip, never cared much about it. Didn't expect setting up in the Sixth Ring to be this hard."

Zi Yan chimed in from the side: "I don't think the old man lied. The order in Ancestor Dragon City is just like that. Your birth determines your starting point."

"People in the Lower Three Rings struggle for more resources, while the aristocrats in the Middle Three Rings will do anything to maintain their status."

"Restricting the number of families is a way to rule and solidify a class. Challenging this class requires an absolute price, and once part of it, they will protect it fiercely."

"For the high-ranking families, it's the best form of control. The well-being of the lower classes doesn't matter, as resources are concentrated at the top. The more resources they have, the more unshakeable their position."

Zi Yan recalled what the Prophet had said to her, that Ancestor Dragon City was a giant cage. They escaped the cage, but couldn't break it.

"Alright, talking doesn't help. Let's check the land on the deed, and at least have a place to settle."

Li Feng said.

From now on, they'll deal with whatever comes — meet force with force, and see who prevails.
