Chapter 1032: City Lord Chen Xiong is Insidious

After listening to the account, City Lord Chen Xiong's expression changed several times before finally turning dark.

What had his subordinates just done?

Gu Yuefan had beaten that Ye An half to death…

All of Ye An's guards had been taken out.

Gu Yuefan had suppressed Ye An single-handedly and then subjected him to a bout of torture and a brutal beating!

Good heavens… thinking about this made City Lord Chen Xiong's head throb with pain.

A huge mess has been stirred up.

That Ye Xiao might not be a truly major figure in the Ye Family, but he was still a mid-level figure with real power.

Furthermore, Ye Xiao's cultivation was at the fifth level of the Jiesheng Realm!

He was no match for him…

If the other party came to cause trouble, it would be problematic.

"Gu Yuefan… you…" City Lord Chen Xiong was speechless, truly not knowing what to say.

But then, he heard about what happened afterward…

Zhan Tang, Feng Wuchen, and Chen Ling spoke up to plead for mercy…

And then…

The things Xiao Fan said, and everything that followed.

Shifting the blame…

It's over, it's all over.

City Lord Chen Xiong was speechless. Who was he?

An old fellow who had lived for countless years, he naturally saw through Xiao Fan's intentions at a glance.

He wanted to set up Zhan Tang, Chen Ling, and Feng Wuchen, forcing the three of them to take the blame with him.

If something happened, no one would escape…

How insidious.

How vicious.

It had to be said, City Lord Chen Xiong's guess was spot on.

Xiao Fan indeed intended to do exactly that…

City Lord Chen Xiong glanced at Xiao Fan, thinking how could this guy be so wicked…

He thought of something else… and finally sighed silently. This blame… he had to shoulder it.

Then he looked up into the Void Realm at the unlucky trio, whose faces were ashen.

He remained silent.

"It seems I can only confirm the actions of these three…" City Lord Chen Xiong muttered to himself.

Although he felt sorry for the trio, there was no other way.

One person facing the Ye Family's wrath was far worse than three people facing it together!

After all, the Millennium Secret Realm would be opening soon.

The number of people from Nantian Gate who could actually enter was only about sixty.

And those who entered were, in truth, just cannon fodder…

As the City Lord of Nantian Gate, he was naturally aware of these hard truths.

Inside the Millennium Secret Realm, the true Prodigies of the Human Race had long since prepared themselves.

And each of them had their own followers.

Those people would enter in the form of the Human Race's great families.

As for Xiao Fan and the others…

They were all followers prepared for Yi Tuo…

They were beings meant to go into the Secret Realm to die!

He thought for a moment, then looked toward the void and said, "Zhan Tang, Chen Ling, Feng Wuchen… you three…"

The three looked at City Lord Chen Xiong and bowed, their faces still ashen.

They thought to themselves… My Lord, please come and say a word of justice, and quickly clear our names.

Otherwise… if the Ye Family really came for revenge, they wouldn't be able to handle it.

"You three, what you did was wrong… How could you do such a thing? Gu Yuefan… is your companion, after all. If he had really killed Ye An… wouldn't that have started a feud with the Ye Family? It would have caused a catastrophe… Fortunately, fortunately… Ye An didn't die."

Zhan Tang: "…"

Feng Wuchen: "…"

Chen Ling: "…"

What did those words mean?

Are you fucking helping to confirm the actions of the three of them just now?

Is he trying to screw them over?

Holy shit!!!

Down below, Xiao Fan was also stunned.

He originally thought City Lord Chen Xiong would see through everything at a glance.

And then wouldn't help him!

He would have had to find another way.

As it turned out, this City Lord Chen Xiong actually helped confirm those things.

Brother…

Xiao Fan felt that City Lord Chen Xiong was being far too supportive of him.

"My Lord, I…"

"My Lord, that really wasn't it."

"You've misunderstood, My Lord…"

Feng Wuchen, Zhan Tang, and Chen Ling all spoke up, trying to explain.

But they saw City Lord Chen Xiong wave his hand and say, "Alright, say no more… Don't do such things in the future. The people of Nantian Gate must be united, do you understand? Fine… I'll take my leave for now, but I'll stay here… If trouble really comes… I will step in to mediate."

With that, City Lord Chen Xiong fled.

He turned into a streak of light and vanished in an instant, returning to his Immortal Cave.

Then he stayed behind closed doors, sealing the entrance with a Restriction so that no one would disturb him.

Feng Wuchen, Zhan Tang, and Chen Ling were almost driven mad.

They were being completely screwed over.

Even City Lord Chen Xiong had testified to it.

Nearby…

Except for Xiao Fan, everyone believed what Xiao Fan had just said.

Even Jian Wuyou, Wei Zhongshan, and the others believed it.

After all, since the City Lord himself had spoken, it certainly couldn't be false.

These three people were too wicked!

They actually wanted to use the Ye Family to get rid of Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan's face remained expressionless, but inside he was overjoyed.

"I really didn't expect you to be this kind of people…"

Leaving behind those words, Xiao Fan also fled, returning to his Immortal Cave.

The three left behind almost coughed up blood from anger upon hearing that.

What kind of people were they?!
