Urban's Fury: The War Dragon God-Chapter 1457: The Reason I Must Go

Li Feng was taken aback by Chen Xu's revelation, realizing that this Kunlun Void, full of endless opportunities, was actually a gigantic deception.

The people from the Ancient Martial World outside were all tricked and believed it without a doubt.

Li Feng then looked at Chen Xu again.

"What about you, and the people here?"

Chen Xu shook his head.

"Of course not. As they say, where there's oppression, there's resistance. Those high-and-mighty families don't treat us like humans, so naturally, there are people like me who stand up to rebel."

"Do you know why the people here respect me so much? Because years ago, I led some people to escape from the clutches of those families and built our own home here."

"You've been to that city."

"Yes, I've been. This deception has lasted for thousands of years. How would anyone who hasn't set foot in this world know? Many only realize once they step into the city and get caught, that they've fallen into a trap."

Li Feng suddenly thought of his mother, who was taken away by a mysterious family with the ancient surname of Xuanyuan.

Although his grandfather told Li Feng some things, he didn't say much about the existence of that family.

His grandfather previously wanted him to participate in the national martial arts tournament to enter the Ancient Martial World, possibly to arrange for him to go to Kunlun and eventually enter the Kunlun Void.

His grandfather knew his mother was here.

Previously, Li Feng hadn't considered this place because, according to what the Great Elder and others said, this Kunlun Void should be a deserted secret realm, with no one inside. Though it contained opportunities, it was fraught with danger, and seeking fortune here with hopes of returning was nearly a suicidal effort.

But according to Chen Xu, this Kunlun World was far from deserted. It birthed a cultivation civilization, controlled by some ancient families.

Li Feng fell silent, for the more he thought, the more it seemed plausible. Everything made sense.

Li Feng lifted his gaze toward the distant Heaven Tower. There lies a city where his mother, missing for twenty years, might very well be.

"Mr. Chen, I want to go there."

Chen Xu turned to look at Li Feng, "Young man, did you not listen to what I just explained?"

"That place is the Dragon Pond and Tiger Cave; if you go, I'm afraid not even a fragment of your bones will remain. If you're lucky, you might eke out a living as a commoner. If unlucky, you might become a slave to some family."

"Not only will you remain in captivity, but your descendants will also be stuck for generations."

"I have a reason I must go."

Li Feng replied steadfastly.

"Is there someone important accompanying you?"

Li Feng nodded; finding his mother was one reason, along with Li Nianqing and others. Of course, there was an even more crucial reason; he had to leave this Kunlun World and return outside, where others awaited him.

Chen Xu sighed.

"Since you insist on going, I can't force you to stay. After all, I can keep your body here, but not your heart."

"But before you go, you need to stay here for a few days."

Li Feng looked at Chen Xu in confusion.

"Wanting to go there, don't you want to first understand this Kunlun World? Are you just planning to blunder in blindly until you learn your lesson through bloodshed and regret?"

"What you're doing isn't saving someone; you're heading to your doom."

Li Feng, of course, knew the importance of understanding his adversaries. He promptly bowed deeply, "I ask Mr. Chen to teach me."

Chen Xu sighed, sitting back in his seat.

"This world is unique, and to this day, no one has explored all of its secrets."

"Yet, people here refer to this world as the Kunlun Realm."

"The Kunlun Realm spans three thousand miles, akin to the ancient legends of the heavenly round and earthly square. At the world's edge lies the cloud-touching sheer mountain range, that no one has yet crossed to explore what might exist beyond."

"Speaking of just the Kunlun Realm, the Northern part is an expanse of water-logged terrain, with rivers crisscrossing, swamps interwoven, and the Mist Swamp there is considered a major forbidden area."

"To the East, where we reside, is this forest, also known as the Azure Dragon Forest because within its depths is a Dragon Pond home to a Dragon Clan, and the whole forest belongs to their domain, likewise off-limits."

"What about us?"

"We are on the forest's outskirts, and in the Dragon Clan's eyes, we're no more than ants. As long as we don't provoke them, the Dragons are indifferent."

"Our freedom to live unrestrained on this land is thanks to the Dragons' existence."

Chen Xu displayed a hint of self-deprecating cold laughter.

"The Southern area is a volcanic mountain range with volcanoes spread across, and an ancient divine beast, the Phoenix, resides there, making it another forbidden area."

"The Federation is a barren wasteland inhabited by countless top-tier fierce beasts."

"These four regions occupy half of the Kunlun Realm, considered the outer ring. Moving inward, the mountains decrease, and the environment becomes less harsh, with flat terrain and lush vegetation more conducive to habitation and development. The spiritual beasts here are nowhere near as powerful as the fierce beasts within the outer regions."

"If I were to describe them, the spiritual beasts here are mostly herbivores, while the outer ones are carnivorous."

"Yet due to population issues, this vast area is sparsely populated, with only a few family-owned private estates scattered outside."

"If you mistakenly wander into these estates, chances are you'll end up a slave to the family owning that estate."

"This large ring area can be called the inner ring, and moving further in, we enter within a hundred miles of the Grande City."

"From here to the city wall's corner is the central ring, where roads are crisscrossed, population increases, with villages scattered across, each being a small clan."

"These clans form a web embracing the central city, which we call Ancestor Dragon City."

"Ancestor Dragon City covers a large area like a multilayered cake, with nine tiers. It houses over seventy percent of the Kunlun World's population, numbering in the millions."

"Based on living conditions, residents are classified into nine ranks, the bottom three tiers as commoners, the middle three as smaller and medium-sized families, and the top three tiers, with the first tier housing twenty-two first-class families, and the second tier the ancient Eight Families."

"At the highest level is the Ancestor Dragon City's supreme ruling body, the Elder Council, formed by the Eight Ancient Families and twenty-two first-class families. They firmly control the entire Kunlun World's order."

Li Feng listened to each word spoken by Chen Xu, but his body felt odd as a heat surged from his lower abdomen, quickly spreading throughout his body.

Within moments, Li Feng noticed his heart rate climb, and his blood surged.

He couldn't help furrowing his brow.

"Mr. Chen, I...!"

"You're fine; you've only had 'Dragon Yang Grass,' which creates some warmth in the body, but it's beneficial to you."

"Come, help him back to his room for some rest."
