Wu Yongchao led Li Banfeng to the residence of Fortress Lord Zhou.
Nestled deep within a valley, the stronghold of Fortress Lord Zhou was significantly larger than those of other Home Cultivators, featuring a five-story vermilion building flanked by two three-story auxiliary buildings. Together, these formed a spacious courtyard bordered by numerous smaller courtyards and Western-style houses.
Wu Yongchao said, "Every year, we contribute money and manpower to build the Fortress Lord's home. Ma Dingfu and the others always say that the bigger the Fortress Lord's mansion, the higher his cultivation level, and the better life in Iron Gate Fort gets."
Li Banfeng laughed. "Ma Dingfu really is an excellent subordinate."
Lights turned on inside the main building, and Wu Yongchao lowered his voice. "This must be the Fortress Lord's family."
