Chapter 671: I Really Don't Fit In with You Guys (16)
Although he had vaguely sensed before that Longevity Prefecture's upper ranks were targeting him, he hadn't expected the other party to have such a huge background.
There were seven major prefectures in the Great Qian World, and Longevity Prefecture was Dao Sect territory. In ancient times, its governor would have been the Dao Sect's leader, so calling him a chief was hardly an exaggeration.
He normally presided over the affairs of an entire prefecture from within a magical artifact in a Directly Governed City. His cultivation had already reached the Golden Core realm, so why was he making things difficult for Chen Yu?

"I don't."
"Exactly! You don't! You only care about who's targeting you!
