Chapter 956: A Letter from City Lord Chen Xiong

Xiao Fan's expression was not good because he realized that reaching Long Miaoyin's location…

…was much more difficult than he had imagined.

There would be multiple identity checks along the way.

While he could use Soul Concealment to hide his identity to pass those checkpoints…

…he would need a new identity for every single gate he passed.

These identities were relatively complex to acquire.

There was a strict social hierarchy here…

…divided into many ranks, making it nearly impossible for an ordinary person to move around.

"Don't go back to the 193rd Barracks; come with me," Xiao Fan said.

"Alright," Wei Zhongshan nodded.

In truth, there wasn't much going on at the 193rd Barracks anyway.

It was all routine work; if something came up, Wei Zhongshan could just contact them from here.

After torturing those people for the past few days, the anger in his heart had dissipated.

They returned to Camp 91…

Xiao Fan pondered his next move.

How could he leave and head toward the true Heavenly God Palace?

This was currently his greatest challenge.

Xiao Fan purchased several topographical maps.

He planned to study a route and then take Wei Zhongshan with him to leave…

But once they left, Wei Zhongshan would no longer be able to show his face.

Xiao Fan would also have to use Soul Concealment to change his appearance.

After all, leaving the military camp without permission was considered desertion.

If that happened, the Nantian Gate might even issue a pursuit order for him!

Just like that, another two days passed…

Xiao Fan finally worked out a relatively safe route.

Although it was time-consuming, the number of checkpoints and the difficulty of the inspections along the way would be greatly reduced.

"This is the only way…"

Xiao Fan let out a breath and set down the map Jade Slip in his hand.

He intended to prepare a bit and then leave with Wei Zhongshan.

However, on that very day…

…a guard at the Yuding Realm suddenly arrived outside the barracks.

"Captain of Camp 91, come see me… I have a message to deliver," the guard said loudly.

His voice was loud, amplified by Qi, and possessed strong penetrating power.

Even though Xiao Fan was inside the Secret Room, he could still hear it clearly.

Xiao Fan frowned and appeared before the man in the next instant.

Besides Xiao Fan, Jian Wuyou, Wan Le, Zhao Yilong, and others also appeared one after another.

"Is the Captain of Camp 91 present?" the guard asked cautiously.

"I am," Xiao Fan nodded.

The guard was stunned, looking Xiao Fan up and down in shock; he discovered that the other party only had the strength of the second level of the Pi Hai Realm!

This was Camp 91, after all…

How was this possible?

But behind Xiao Fan, Jian Wuyou and the other Yuding Realm experts remained silent.

They seemed to silently acknowledge that this was indeed the truth.

"Sir, please look at this," the guard said after a moment's thought, tossing a Jade Slip to Xiao Fan.

Xiao Fan caught the Jade Slip and then probed it with his Divine Soul.

A moment later, he was stunned…

Recorded in the Jade Slip was a great Opportunity coming up for the soldiers of the Four Great Heavenly Gates.

It was to be carried out in the form of teams.

However, these teams had to undergo selection; each Heavenly Gate could only send out 10 teams…

This was equivalent to the Four Great Heavenly Gates sending out 100 people in total…

As for the details of the Opportunity…

…the Jade Slip did not describe them.

"This is…" Xiao Fan was somewhat puzzled and looked at the guard.

"Sir… as the Jade Slip states, the competition within our Nantian Gate will take place in ten days… In the end, ten teams will gain the qualification to enter the Secret Realm…"

"As for what happens after entering the Secret Realm, I am not clear on that… but it is said to be a great Opportunity with infinite benefits for everyone…"

The guard smiled and gave Xiao Fan a simple explanation…

"I see," Xiao Fan nodded, then cupped his fists. "Thank you, I understand."

"Alright, Sir, then I shall take my leave," the guard said politely, not daring to be negligent, and then departed…

Something felt strange about Camp 91…

A second-level Pi Hai Realm was actually the Captain?

What about the previous Jian Wuyou?

One should know that Jian Wuyou was definitely a big celebrity in these military camps!

A Human Race Genius on the prodigy ranking…

"Entering a Secret Realm…" Xiao Fan muttered to himself, then dismissed the crowd.

Xiao Fan now held immense prestige within Camp 91.

Although they were curious, no one refuted his order, and they all left one by one.

To be honest, Xiao Fan was a little tempted.

Although he didn't know what this Secret Realm was, there was bound to be a great Opportunity inside.

Back in the Secret Room, Xiao Fan held the Jade Slip the guard had just given him and repeatedly checked its contents.

There was no mention at all of what was inside the Secret Realm they were to enter.

"I'd better not go; finding Miaoyin is more important…" Xiao Fan muttered to himself.

He decided to give up on this Opportunity.

After all, he was still in a dangerous period.

But at that moment, a token inside Xiao Fan's Storage Pouch suddenly reacted.

It was the identity token issued to him by the Nantian Gate.

After Xiao Fan picked up the token and checked the message inside, he was stunned.

"City Lord Chen Xiong is looking for me…"
