The Fortress Lord's Name Was Fortress Lord

Li Banfeng walked out of Portable Abode and arrived at the gate of the mansion.

A group of House Cultivator stood neatly in front of the door, waiting for Li Banfeng's orders.

"What are you all doing here? Have you done what I told you to do?"

Wu Yongchao stepped forward and said, "Everything has been taken care of. Zhou Anju and Ma Dingfu's men have all been dealt with, and people have been sent up the cliff."

"How many people were sent?"

"One."

Li Banfeng frowned and said, "I asked you to send someone, and you only sent one. Now you want to add two more!"

Three people work in a shift, changing shifts every three hours. One person keeps watch, one relays the message, and one provides backup!

Wu Yongchao nodded and said, "I'll take care of it right away."

How many people are there in the boiler room?

"Five of them, all from the fort, take turns tending the boiler."

"Add two sentries to the door, reminding them to be alert and close the door immediately if there's any movement. Everyone else should go back inside and be on guard."

The lord's residence will henceforth be designated a forbidden area; no one is permitted to approach within a 100-meter radius of the courtyard.

Wu Yongchao agreed, called over two other people, and used a soft ruler to measure out a distance of one hundred meters, drew a boundary line, and everyone retreated outside the boundary line.

They insisted on using a ruler to measure and even drew a line.

Actually, this is good. Although it's a bit rigid, at least these House Cultivators are obedient enough.

Li Banfeng entered the courtyard alone and pushed the windmill record player out from his Portable Abode.

A new record, newly burned by his Wife, played on the record player. A gentle evening breeze stirred the windmill, causing it to turn slowly, winding itself up and playing music.

I raise a cup of bitter wine high.

You know in your heart that I'm not drunk.

Just for your lover,

"I'll drink to that! I'll drink to that!"

The song is called "A Man's Tears".

This Home Spirit just killed the House Cultivator, so it should be somewhat moved by this song.

An unclaimed Home Spirit can turn into Evil Spirit at any time. Although the Wife's plan was very thorough, Li Banfeng was very nervous at the moment.

The music played for half an hour, but there was not a sound from the Deputy Building.

Li Banfeng returned to Portable Abode and said to the record player, "Wife, this record of yours isn't working; she won't come out."

"That shouldn't be!" The Wife was somewhat surprised. "I sang that song with great care. Any spirit should be moved. Even if the Home Spirit can't leave the house, it should still have some reaction."

"My lord, please move a little closer to that house."

"Nearby? If she really gets out, I'm afraid I'll be dead! Do you want to be a widow or something?"

The phonograph player was very confident. "Husband, don't worry. When we get to the Deputy Building, open the door immediately and let Little Slave test the waters."

Li Banfeng cautiously approached the door, and a chilling aura rushed towards him.

He immediately opened the door, and his Wife's singing voice immediately reached the doorway.

This isn't a windmill or a reseller; it's something my Wife sang herself.

In the past, the Wife's songs had never failed in dealing with the dead.

There was still no movement from the Deputy Building; it seemed the other party truly hadn't heard the Wife's singing.

Li Banfeng opened the door to his Portable Abode Shen Ju and waited for a moment at the entrance of the Deputy Building.

The singing stopped abruptly. The Wife felt a strong sense of shock and cried out from her Portable Abode, "Husband, back off! I know who this is! It's that deaf and blind wretch!"

Deaf and blind...

A cold wind blew again, and a woman's voice came from the Deputy Building: "Wicked Woman, is that you? I can smell your cheap rouge. The cheapest rouge on the street, you can buy a whole box for two coins. It's a perfect match for you!"

"How many years have I waited for you? Come in, come quickly! Let's settle this once and for all!"

"Husband, let's go!"

Li Banfeng took the key, left the mansion, and returned to his Portable Abode.

"My Wife, do you recognize this Home Spirit?"

"I recognize her, that damned bitch!" The Wife exuded murderous intent, and the gongs and drums were pounded rapidly.

"My Wife, what's the grudge between you two?"

"During the holiday, I blinded her."

So that's how blind she was.

"Then how did she become deaf?"

"She made herself deaf to avoid my singing."

This woman is really pitiful.

"It seems that my Wife has won a great victory in this battle."

"I didn't win," the Wife replied calmly. "It's my fault for being careless; I died at her hands!"

So he died at her hands...

He died at her hands!

Li Banfeng was shocked; he had encountered a mortal enemy.

My Wife remained remarkably calm when this matter was brought up!

My Wife died at her hands. How high must this Home Spirit be?

Li Banfeng asked, "Does my Wife want revenge against her?"

"Revenge must be taken, but now is not the time. Only if we lure her into this house Little Slave have a chance of winning. If we enter her house, I am no Little Slave for her right now."

In her house, even the Wife couldn't beat her?

Is there such a monster in Iron Gate Fort?

"It seems that Iron Gate Fort is no longer a viable option."

"Don't worry, my lord. That wretched woman's House Cultivator is dead. She's deaf and blind and doesn't know her way around. Even if the house had an opening for her, she wouldn't be able to get out."

Tell the House Cultivator at Iron Gate Fort to stay as far away from this place as possible. If they absolutely must enter this compound, they must not enter this Deputy Building.

A contract can be made between the House Cultivator and the Home Spirit. If any House Cultivator accidentally calls out the Home Spirit's name, it's equivalent to replacing that wretched person with a cultivator, which will make things difficult.

Hiss~ Hiss~

Red Lotus spoke.

She seemed to recognize the Home Spirit as well.

The record player turned its speaker towards Red Lotus and asked, "Red Lotus, do you think you have a way to deal with this bitch?"

Hiss~

Red Lotus expressed her approval.

The Portable Abode fell into a long silence.

Li Banfeng spoke first, saying, "My Wife won't eat to death."

The record player continued, "Red Lotus doesn't eat raw food."

The Home Spirit are considered living beings.

Li Banfeng and his Wife laughed together, but it was a sinister laugh.

Hiss~

Red Lotus spoke again.

The Wife relayed, "She said she had another way."

Li Banfeng remained silent for a moment, then nodded slightly.

He picked up Red Lotus and went to the Fifth Chamber.

"You'll be left here to reflect on your actions for a few days, without food!"

Do you have any other ideas?

You just want to trick me into letting you out, don't you?

Watching Li Banfeng's departing figure, the Copper Lotus sprayed out a string of dewdrops.

Li Banfeng left Portable Abode and went into the building.

Don't ask your Wife too many questions unless she wants to tell you herself.

There were many good things in the house, Ma Dingfu knew where they were, so he told Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng first went to a secret room on the third floor and took out the two Spiritual Object.

The first Spiritual Object was a black button that could change a person's voice.

This Spiritual Object was crafted from pure, ethereal essence. Due to its limited spirituality, it could not be refined into a magic weapon and therefore lacks the ability to advance in power, but its functions are extremely powerful.

The button has four buttonholes, but usually only one buttonhole is sewn onto the garment for use.

The method of use is a bit complicated. By turning the button, you can continuously change the tone of your voice. You have to figure out the exact position to adjust it yourself.

The second Spiritual Object was a belt. According to Ma Dingfu, this belt was even more precious because it was made from a giant ape, which is an ethereal entity.

The only function of this belt is to create an aura of power. Zhou Anju has no cultivation, but as long as he wears this belt, he can make Li Banfeng feel fear.

A cultivator at the fourth level would be terrified of a White Lamb. The power of this belt, like the techniques of a foolish cultivator, seems to transcend the limitations of different levels.

Besides these two Spiritual Object, Li Banfeng also found 150,000 silver dollars and a lot of gold bars in Zhou Anju's residence.

He hired several House Cultivators to carry the real gold and silver outside the house.

Wu Yongchao called out to everyone, House Cultivator team assembled.

Li Banfeng looked at the money box and said, "This is your money, the money that Zhou Anju took away. Who took more? Achao, check the register, calculate the amount, and split it equally."

Wu Yongchao led his men to count the number of people, while the other House Cultivator silently watched Li Banfeng.

They couldn't see his face; his hat brim was low, and all they could see was his beard.

They encountered many people who took money, but never one who gave them money.

After a long silence, an old man stepped forward and thanked him, "Peddler, thank you..."

"Don't call me Peddler," Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "Peddler is my junior brother's name."

"Well, this..." The old man didn't know how to address Li Banfeng.

After Wu Yongchao finished counting the gold and silver, he said to Li Banfeng, "Fortress Master, the amount has been counted, and the money allocated to each person has also been calculated."

His Li Banfeng master.

He is an honest man, but he is not stupid; he knows who is good to him.

"Lord of the fortress, thank you." The old man bowed to Li Banfeng.

"Lord of the Fortress!"

"Lord of the Fortress!"

"Thank you, Lord!"

The House Cultivator gradually began to call him "Lord of the Castle".

Li Banfeng sneered, "I killed two of your fortress lords, and now you want me to be the fortress lord? Is that appropriate?"

No one knew how to respond.

This is indeed not appropriate, and they are also conflicted.

Li Banfeng laughed loudly, "I think this is quite suitable!"

Is this really appropriate?

Li Banfeng then said, "From this day forward, I am your fortress lord! Anyone who disagrees may step forward!"

The crowd still didn't know how to respond.

They felt even more conflicted.

A female House Cultivator named Li Zhijuan lowered her voice and said, "What if someone kills this fortress lord again?"

Her voice was very low, but Li Banfeng still heard it.

Li Banfeng shouted loudly, "Even if someone kills me, he will not be your fortress lord, because from now on, you only have me as your fortress lord!"

Are there any other questions?

A male House Cultivator, named Hu Fangyuan, asked in a low voice, "What would happen if you died?"

This is a crucial question.

These guys are such House Cultivator, their mouths are as sweet as honey!

"Whether I live or die, I am still your lord. I will haunt you even as a ghost!"

Is there anything else you want to ask?

A female House Cultivator named Tang Yanning mustered her courage and asked, "Lord of the Fortress, what is your name?"

Li Banfeng said, "My name is Fortress Lord, remember that?"

The lord's name is the Lord of the Fortress...

Everyone was so conflicted that they didn't know how to resolve their dilemma.

A male House Cultivator, named Yuan Zhenguang, asked sincerely, "We don't know your name, and we can't see what you look like. What if someone impersonates you?"

Li Banfeng said, "As House Cultivator, one must recognize one's wife before going to bed, recognize one's shoes after getting out of bed, know the way back after leaving the fortress, and recognize your fortress lord after entering the fortress."

"If you can't even handle something this simple, what kind of House Cultivator are you?"

Once you enter the fortress, you have to get to know the fortress lord?

Does House Cultivator have this function?

Does this make sense?

While the group of House Cultivator were still sorting out their thoughts, Li Banfeng first set three rules:

Article 1: The lord's name is Lord of the Fortress!

Article 2: Iron Gate Fort has only one lord!

Article 3: Everyone in the fort must obey the fort lord!

After hearing these three rules, the House Cultivator were no longer so conflicted.

They thought this made a lot of sense!

"After you've collected your money, everyone go about their own business. Make sure you complete every single task I assign you."

Now we need to guard against retaliation from the people of Flying Eagle Mountain. We must be diligent in our duties: keeping watch, relaying messages, and guarding the gate. Do you understand?

The group of House Cultivator answered loudly, divided the money among themselves, and went about their own business.

The next day at dawn, Li Banfeng put on a mask, changed his clothes, and indeed the House Cultivator couldn't recognize him. He then went up the cliff.

On the platform, three House Cultivators on duty.

Being meticulous and conscientious in their work is one of House Cultivator's strengths. The three of them kept a close eye on Li Banfeng without a moment's slack.

The lookout spotted Li Banfeng and quickly notified the other two.

Li Banfeng closed his eyes and sighed.

I'm right in front of you, why are you still notifying those two?

The person in charge of the pick-up asked, "Who are you?"

That's alright, at least this attitude is correct.

The most hateful one was the messenger, who used a rope to climb down the cliff.

Li Banfeng asked, "Where are you going?"

The messenger remained silent.

I've delivered the letter. Can I tell anyone something so confidential?

Li Banfeng was furious. "Couldn't you have just made a gong or a drum? Did you have to run down there to deliver the message yourself?"

These House Cultivator are quite capable in combat, and their fighting spirit is also strong.

They lack combat experience.

Where can I get some experience?

Li Banfeng looked towards Flying Eagle Mountain in the distance.

Why aren't they here yet?

Whoosh~ Splash splash splash~

A disciple of the Medicine King Hall, Jiang Xiang Gang, dialed a phone number behind the Hall Master, Luo ZhengNan, and the call went through.

Xiao Zhengong was soaking in the pool, with a dozen young women soaking with him.

"You'd better tell me if it's important!" Xiao Zhengong said, a cigar dangling from his lips, trying his best to remain patient.

Luo ZhengNan dismissed his men and said in a low voice, "Gang Leader, good stuff, I found that gun."

"Which gun are you talking about?" Xiao Zhengong threw away his cigar.

"It's the one you've always wanted! Zhao Xiaowan!"

Xiao Zhengong's body trembled uncontrollably.

P. S.: Luo ZhengNan is the person on the phone. Dear readers, do you remember now?

Iron Gate Fort is the first place of loyal support for Ban Feng. The Lord of Pro starts with the fortress lord.
