The trading market of Dongwu Stockade is right next to the City Lord's Mansion.
In this loose cultivator city fortress, Dongwu City Lord's Mansion is considered the only "official agency," and only the Purple Mansion Superior dared to hang such a sign. If it were a Qi Cultivator of Great Perfection, they really wouldn't have the confidence to do so.
Because it is adjacent to the City Lord's Mansion, the trading market is very safe, and one can see fully armed battle cultivators patrolling within.
These battle cultivators are either family members or retainers of the master of Dongwu, Xin Han, well-equipped and loyal, usually responsible for the security of Dongwu Stockade and also tasked with eradicating evil wraiths.
Unlike the established cities with Expel Evil magical treasures like the Fixed Sun Bell, this loose cultivator's stockade often suffers from invasions of evil wraiths, or cultivators possessed by them causing trouble.
