Chapter 957: City Lord Chen Xiong’s Notification

Xiao Fan was stunned, unsure why City Lord Chen Xiong was looking for him.

The content within the Command Token was very simple.

It was a message sent personally by City Lord Chen Xiong, asking Xiao Fan to come over.

"That's not right… My identity must have been leaked long ago. Why is he only looking for me now?"

Xiao Fan muttered to himself.

In fact, he had thought before that his identity would definitely be leaked.

After all, how could such a super Prodigy be born in a small tribe like the Guyue Tribe?

He could even slay the Old Ancestor of the Gongjian Tribe.

If such a Prodigy existed, his current strength alone would be enough to cause panic among the major tribes nearby.

As a result…

Xiao Fan had already prepared a countermeasure, planning to say he was a desperate outlaw who had caused trouble outside.

He had all sorts of excuses ready.

Yet City Lord Chen Xiong had never seen him, and no one had come to question him about these matters.

But this…

He was suddenly looking for him today.

This made Xiao Fan somewhat surprised.

But surprise aside, he still had to go.

After Xiao Fan stood up, he let out a breath…

Then he headed toward the Nantian Gate City Lord's Mansion.

…

…

Nantian Gate City Lord's Mansion…

In the main hall.

"Greetings, City Lord." Xiao Fan cupped his fists and looked up at City Lord Chen Xiong.

City Lord Chen Xiong smiled and nodded, then dismissed the people around them.

Only Xiao Fan and City Lord Chen Xiong remained in the great hall.

"Do you know why I called you here?" City Lord Chen Xiong smiled and asked.

"I do not," Xiao Fan said, his expression calm.

Though he said that, he was wondering why City Lord Chen Xiong had summoned him.

The most likely reason was to question his identity.

But if he were to question his identity, it wouldn't be just the two of them here.

What was the meaning of dismissing everyone else?

Xiao Fan began to grow suspicious…

"Actually, it's nothing much. I just wanted to talk to you about the selection and finally entering the Secret Realm," City Lord Chen Xiong said jovially, giving Xiao Fan a deep look.

Xiao Fan was momentarily stunned, then said, "Please speak, My Lord."

Was the matter of the Secret Realm important?

Perhaps it was.

But this definitely wasn't the reason City Lord Chen Xiong had personally sought him out, was it?

After all, Xiao Fan had gained some understanding of the Four Great Heavenly Gates.

Each Heavenly Gate commanded thousands of barracks units…

And there were several units ranked in the top ten.

Those were the true experts…

The true prodigies of the Human Race…

So what was so special about him, a newly arrived captain of Camp 91?

"Hehehe… No need to be nervous. I didn't call you here with any ill intent," City Lord Chen Xiong said with a smile.

He seemed to be explaining something.

Xiao Fan could hear the sincerity in the other's words.

It seemed the other party truly thought that way.

He had no ill intent toward him.

Because there was no Killing Intent on City Lord Chen Xiong…

"I called you here to tell you… after the Four Great Heavenly Gates select the ten teams, they will first enter the Heavenly God Palace together… to have an audience with the Palace Master," City Lord Chen Xiong added.

"Together… an audience with the Palace Master?" Xiao Fan was stunned, then he looked up at City Lord Chen Xiong.

The other party's meaning…

Didn't it mean…

As long as one entered the top ten of the selection,

They could then enter the Heavenly God Palace openly?

That way, he could get close to Long Miaoyin.

"Hehehehe… That's right, that's right… To see the Palace Master, isn't that the dream of all Human Race Cultivators in Tianshen Prefecture? I didn't come to you for anything else, just to give you some motivation… To tell you this news so you can prepare well and lead your subordinates to have the chance to see the Palace Master together… Do you understand?"

City Lord Chen Xiong said with a beaming smile, as if he were concealing something.

But his reason for concealing it was obviously not very clever.

Never mind Xiao Fan, even an ordinary person could see through his thoughts at a glance.

Xiao Fan gave City Lord Chen Xiong a deep look.

He always felt this City Lord was very strange…

He couldn't quite put his finger on where the strangeness lay.

Did the other party have ill intent?

From the current look of things, no.

Otherwise, with his current strength, facing City Lord Chen Xiong, even escaping would be very difficult.

Yet the other party's actions were clearly helping him.

Ever since he caused a scene at the 193rd Barracks and killed its captain…

Xiao Fan had this feeling.

This City Lord Chen Xiong was very lenient toward him.

However, through this current contact,

Xiao Fan felt… the other party seemed to know his roots.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said such things.

"Why would he know I want to go to the Heavenly God Palace?" Xiao Fan wondered in his heart.

This was the biggest question.

If the other party appreciated him, he could express it through other matters.

Even Xiao Fan killing the 193rd Barracks captain

Could be explained by City Lord Chen Xiong's appreciation.

But calling him over privately just to tell him that entering the top ten would allow him to represent Nantian Gate and enter the Heavenly God Palace!

This matter was unusual…

"The Secret Realm that can be entered by the final winners contains great Opportunities, and the Palace Master also values it highly… Do you understand? So you must cherish this chance."

"Cough… Do you have anything else? If not, then leave. I'm tired and need to rest," City Lord Chen Xiong said with a dry cough.

"Yes." Xiao Fan cupped his fists, then turned and left.

It was clear that City Lord Chen Xiong did not intend to elaborate.
