Night had fallen, and the area around Dongfang Residence seemed to be in isolation; not a single passerby could be seen on the streets, which usually bustled with activity but today were eerily quiet.
The local residents all understood what this show of force was preparing for.
The Dongfang family had become a restricted zone, indicating that a great battle was about to take place there.
On the city's main thoroughfare, Lu Wu led his army southward along the main road, advancing toward the position of Dongfang Residence.
The army marched in square formations, with torchbearers on both sides illuminating the streets.
Wherever they passed, all doors were firmly closed, with none daring to step outside.
Many peered through the cracks of their doors to steal glances at Lu Wu.
Seeing his height near two meters, coupled with his burly figure and the hard golden armor, one couldn't help but feel a sense of awe.
