Urban's Fury: The War Dragon God-Chapter 1303: Could It Be Him

"Who is the guest in Box C?"

The managers of the Golden Jade Pavilion were all puzzled. It's important to know that behind Golden Jade Pavilion is the Ancient Tomb Sect, one of the six sects of the Ancient Martial World.

The Ancient Tomb Sect, with its branches in Moving Mountain, Faqiu Tomb Raider and so on, is famous for excavation and appraising treasures, as the saying goes, 'Gold during times of chaos, antiques during times of prosperity.'

The rise of Yan Country has also allowed the Ancient Tomb Sect to flourish.

However, in the Ancient Martial World, the Ancient Tomb Sect still couldn't escape disdain from other orthodox sects, as grave robbing is considered a shameful act.

The Ancient Tomb Sect manages to survive because its tomb-raiding skills are somewhat useful, as many ancient texts and even cultivation methods were buried underground with the departed.

And the existing ones are nearly extinct; despite the efforts of the Ancient Martial World to pass down the heritage, the path of cultivation remains long and arduous.

The managers exchanged glances.

"Sir, the Golden Jade Pavilion has its rules. Disclosing the names of our guests rashly is no small matter for our reputation."

"Golden Jade Pavilion has reached today's success relying on the word 'reputation'."

"Hmph."

The newcomer was a young man with sharp eyebrows and eagle eyes, his appearance somewhat sinister. He is the son of the Unloading Mountain chief of Ancient Tomb Sect, Huo Jiuzhou.

"Don't talk to me about rules. As the Young Master of Unloading Mountain, I know the rules."

"The question we face now isn't about the future, it's about whether you know what's going on outside right now."

"The Lin Family is first among the Ten Great Families, their power isn't any lesser than the six ancient martial sects. The Family Head, Lin Dong, is someone sharp and decisive, who once dared to challenge the gates of Tao Sect in Kunlun with a single sword."

"And the Xiao Family is also wealthy and powerful. The old man Xiao looks kind but is a dozing tiger, ready to devour anyone with a snap."

"If these two families were fighting to the death over the Thousand Medicine Formula, our Golden Jade Pavilion could sit by and watch. But now a maverick has appeared midway, slapping both Lin and Xiao families in the face."

"The two families have not flipped out yet; do you think that's because our Golden Jade Pavilion's face is big enough?"

"That's because the Top Three Sects, the ancient martial six sects, the Ten Great Families, and many reputable figures in the Ancient Martial World are all present, keeping the two families in check."

"But once the auction is over and we make no statement nor find the key person involved, whom do you think their wrath will be directed towards?"

"Though our Ancient Tomb Sect has stabilized in recent years, do you really think those prestigious righteous sects regard us highly?"

"Pah, they tolerate us because we do their dirty work, help them in grave-robbing and treasure hunting, hmph."

"Outsiders might think our Golden Jade Pavilion is raking in money, but who knows that at least half of our auction proceeds each year must be returned as protection fees to the Top Three Sects and the Lin Family." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"But now someone publicly slapped the first family of the Ten Great Families' face. Do you think Lin Dong will let this go easily?"

"This person publicly embarrassed the Lin Family Head. If the Lin Family does nothing, they cannot hold their position as the number one family."

Huo Jiuzhou barked at the managers sternly yet insecurely; he had no choice but to explain so much because Golden Jade Pavilion wasn't solely his business.

The Ancient Tomb Sect has four branches; the Unloading Mountain Huo Family is only one of them. Unlike other sects and families, the Ancient Tomb Sect is the only sect without a Sect Leader.

Usually, the four branches of the Ancient Tomb Sect act independently, with only this Golden Jade Pavilion jointly established yet independently existing.

Thus, if the managers of the Golden Jade Pavilion don't listen to him, he's out of options.

"Whether to disclose the information is up to you, but if things worsen, it won't be me looking for you, but the Lin and Xiao families. I hope you can still be so stubborn then."

Having spoken, Huo Jiuzhou turned to leave.

"Young Master Huo, please stay."

One manager gritted his teeth, stopping Huo Jiuzhou: "So, Young Master Huo, how do you think we should resolve this matter?"

Seeing their hesitation, Huo Jiuzhou said directly: "Before the auction ends, quickly send the information of the people in Box C to the Three Sects and the Lin and Xiao families; don't worry about the others."

"Who are the people in Box C?"

The leading manager asked.

He also realized the severity of the situation today. Two hundred billion Federation Coins is an astronomical price for just two Dan Formulas.

Clearly, the Dan Formulas are not the main issue; even the most precious Dan Formulas have a price, but the current bid far exceeds that scope.

This indicates that the person's actions were specifically to slap the two families in the face.

"This person visited our Golden Jade Pavilion before, acted lavishly, spending one billion to purchase the Fish Intestine Sword, so I gifted him a token."

"I thought he was some noble from a big family and didn't think much of it."

"Oh, do you know his name?"

"Yes, he had a minor conflict with some people from the Heavenly Strategy Sect before, and he gave his name."

"He said his name is Li Feng."

"Li Feng?"

"Can you confirm this?"

"He said that's his name; I couldn't very well check his ID card." The manager also felt helpless. After all, their business is straightforward transactions, and they don't pry into much else.

Many clients prefer to keep their identities private.

"Called Li Feng, surname Li, yet no Li exists within the six ancient martial sects or the Ten Great Families. Is he perhaps from a lesser family? Yet, where does a lesser family find such financial power?"

"Could he be an external Guest Elder allied with the six sects or the Ten Great Families?"

"If so, the implications are wider; we're no detectives probing cases, just summarizing what we know and delivering it, demonstrating it has nothing to do with our Golden Jade Pavilion. As for how the Lin and Xiao families deal with this Li Feng, that's not our business."

"Do as Young Master Huo suggests, quickly."

Before long, Li Feng's information was swiftly relayed by Golden Jade Pavilion to the Three Sects and the Lin and Xiao families' box seats.

"Family Head, it's from Golden Jade Pavilion."

"Oh, did they say anything?"

"Nothing was said, just sent something."

Lin Dong accepted the note passed by his close Sword Servant.

"Father, what's written on it? Is it information about the person in Box C?"

"I'm really curious who dares to provoke a tiger like that."

Lin Wan'er smiled coldly. It was clear that the events in Box C intervened in the Lin and Xiao duel and humiliating them, which she, as a member of the Lin Family, took personally.

If she knew who was in that box, she certainly wouldn't let them go.

"A guy named Li Feng, origin unknown. Yesterday, Golden Jade Pavilion sold him an ancient famous sword, the Fish Intestine, for ten billion, and gave him today's auction token afterward."

Lin Dong said.

"Just this little information?"

Beside him, the Sword Servant frowned; it amounted to knowing just a name.

"Golden Jade Pavilion wouldn't dare conceal anything because they can't withstand my wrath. As for this Li Feng, investigate it."

"Just slapped our Lin Family's face, hmph."

"Li Feng."

Lin Wan'er glanced at the name on the note and was startled; could it be him?

Thinking of that person, Lin Wan'er's face instantly darkened. After all, he was her greatest nightmare for over twenty years of her life.
