At this moment, he followed Olia out of the residential area. Sure enough, bright lights shone in the distance, and clamor drifted over from afar. It seemed extremely lively.
Fortunately, soundproof arrays had been set up around the residential area, so those resting inside would not be disturbed.
Olia led Wang Teng through the War Fortress, turning this way and that. Along the way, they saw quite a few martial artists, each going about their own activities amid the bustling atmosphere.
