This young man spoke in a hushed voice, "Moreover, for the Human Clan to produce a Venerate in the Refining God Realm is tantamount to Qifeng Prefecture establishing another pillar that upholds the heavens! It is only right for you to be a pillar of the Human Clan, to guard and protect it!"
"If that is the case, why doesn't the Great City Guard, who has a closer relationship with Mr. Lu, go there personally instead of Vice Deputy Governor Gu?"
Vice City Governor Gu slowly said, "Do you think by handing over the entire City Guard Mansion to me, it was merely to prevent me from going to witness Mr. Lu's escalation to the Refining God Realm? Although I have not been in High Willow City for long, that Great City Guard's breadth of mind and depth of schemes are far superior to mine..."
His expression indifferent, he said, "Stand our ground and watch quietly to see what movements arise from all quarters!"
