Gu Chen stood at the entrance, looking at the gilded plaque on the gate not far away, inscribed with two large, dragon-and-phoenix-dancing characters: Zhou Mansion.
This was one of the busiest streets within the inner city of Tiandu, and those who lived here were mostly people with real power in Da Xia.
He took out the letter given to him by Zhou Rang, compared it for confirmation, and after ensuring there were no mistakes, he approached the gate, where the guards immediately stopped him.
There were two guards at the entrance. Gu Chen observed their aura and, if he wasn't mistaken, both guards should possess a cultivation not less than the Gang Qi Stage.
Although the Gang Qi Stage is only the fourth stage of martial arts, the martial path is incredibly arduous. Just to establish a foundation requires over a decade of time; most warriors in the Jianghu remained within the first three stages of martial arts.
