53: Chapter 53 Yu Linglong's Decision: Cling to Lu Chen's Thigh!

Right now, Shen Xiyun had used all her trump cards, including her Divine Favor Talent, but she could only suppress the Tier 5 World Lord BOSS. Wanting to kill it within 30 minutes was still too much of a stretch!

She was currently waiting for the 30-minute time limit to pass, so she could return to the Xihai City area along with these insect-type Invading Monsters. By then, she would only be able to protect Lu Chen's life!

But now!

With the global announcement out, the three members of the Linglong team had achieved the first clear of another 5-Star Hell difficulty Secret Realm. How could she not be shocked?

She was so intelligent. She saw through it at a glance!

Yu Linglong and Night Shadow could not possibly have the ability to kill a Tier 5 World Lord BOSS.

Furthermore, they were an Archer and an Assassin; their own defenses were extremely fragile, making it even more impossible for them to fight a World Lord BOSS!

The only remaining possibility was that Lu Chen had controlled a large number of beast pets to secure this first clear!

Although it was still incredible—how did Lu Chen manage to do it?—the facts were the facts!

She was itching to recruit Lu Chen immediately and ask him how he defeated the World Lord BOSS.

But she couldn't leave yet; she still had to wait a few more minutes!

"Squeak! Even if you are a Divine Favored one, once the first clear time limit passes, this Dominator will definitely make you experience the power of the insect plague and leave you with no place to be buried!"

The Tier 5 World Lord BOSS, Fear Master, which was temporarily suppressed by Shen Xiyun, struggled frantically, attempting to break free from the spatial suppression while constantly shrieking.

If it weren't for the fact that the number of Invading Monsters that could enter this Secret Realm map within the first clear time limit was limited, and its insect plague army couldn't pour in completely, how could it have been suppressed by a Space Mage!

"Noisy!"

Shen Xiyun's train of thought was interrupted, and she was slightly angry. She raised her hand and unleashed a Spatial Dimension Slash, causing Fear Master to shriek in pain as green blood splattered everywhere, only to be blocked by the invisible spatial barrier.

As for the other insect nest Invading Monsters, they couldn't even get close to Shen Xiyun and were ruthlessly crushed by her spatial skills.

Inside Xihai City.

All the civilian class-holders shouted and cheered upon hearing Lu Chen's first clear announcement.

A Hell difficulty Secret Realm had been cleared for the first time! This meant one less huge threat!

And since the three of them could kill one Tier 5 World Lord BOSS, they could naturally deal with the other Tier 5 World Lord BOSS as well!

In this way, the crisis in Xihai City could be greatly reduced.

Then they and their families might be able to survive this disaster; this was the most earnest hope of the people at the bottom.

They just wanted to survive during this calamity.

Meanwhile, in the Jinbao Pavilion shelter, Lu Sen and Chen Rou didn't have any strong emotional fluctuations upon hearing the announcement.

Their son could even complete a 10-Star difficulty advancement quest and had mastered a Forbidden Spell; a first clear of a 5-Star Hell difficulty Secret Realm was nothing strange.

Their only concern now was the condition of their youngest daughter, Xiao Yun, who still had scarlet eyes, was quiet, as if possessed by something evil, and kept muttering: "It's here!"

But they were helpless and could only wait for this crisis to pass before thinking of other ways.

Suddenly!

Xiao Yun's scarlet eyes had a slight fluctuation: "Big brother... first clear..."

"This..." Lu Sen and Chen Rou looked at each other in shock. Could Xiao Yun hear the rule announcement?

That's not right! Weren't rule announcements only audible to class-holders? Xiao Yun hadn't even changed her class, so how could she hear it?

Furthermore, hearing about her brother's related achievements, Xiao Yun was actually showing a reaction.

This gave the two a glimmer of hope, and they hurriedly told Xiao Yun about her brother's past to see if it could help her return to normal sooner.

On the other side, Lu Chen's beast pets had already finished cleaning up the battlefield.

To Lu Chen's pleasant surprise, this temple treasury also contained a Tier 5 Advancement Divine Stone, which was truly an unexpected joy.

Immediately, Lu Chen sent a message in the team chat, telling Yu Linglong and Night Shadow to follow the Shadow Soul Mouse to the depths of the Corrupted Temple, preparing to return to the Xihai City area.

When the two women arrived at the spatial rift and saw the corpse of the Corruption Overlord BOSS, which was as huge as a small mountain but riddled with holes, even though they had been mentally prepared, they were still quite shocked.

"Lu Chen, were the thunder and Holy Light from earlier both created by you?" Yu Linglong couldn't help but ask.

"Yes." Lu Chen smiled and nodded, but didn't explain too much. The matter of the Forbidden Spell was his important secret; apart from his family, he wouldn't easily tell others.

Even if the other person was the Linglong Pavilion Master who had helped him several times.

If the other party insisted on getting to the bottom of it, he could only apologetically say: "We'll talk about it later!"

Yu Linglong was not a brainless, big-breasted woman like Liu Ruyuan. She knew that some secrets should not be probed deeply. Knowing that the heaven-shaking thunder and Holy Light were Lu Chen's doing was enough.

"Linglong Pavilion Master, this BOSS dropped quite a few good things. By the old rules, let's split them equally!"

Lu Chen prepared to trade all the obtained items to the Linglong Pavilion Master so she could calculate their value and then convert them into gold coins to be split equally.

But he was refused by Yu Linglong.

If there hadn't been a global first clear announcement, she would definitely still need these items to complete that vicious First Madam's performance task in order to return to the Jinbao Pavilion headquarters.

Now, she didn't need to. With the global announcement, her name was already famous worldwide, and she estimated that at this moment, the big shots of top global guilds had already started taking action to come and recruit her.

But Yu Linglong no longer intended to join other super guilds; she wanted to follow Lu Chen!

Not for anything else, just the fact that Lu Chen could solo a World Lord BOSS, and do it quickly without a scratch, was enough for her to make up her mind: by following Lu Chen, she could go further in the future!

And with powerful strength, why worry about not being able to clear her mother's name and take revenge in the future?

"In this 5-Star Secret Realm, we didn't contribute at all; we purely benefited from you."

"For us, the reward for the first clear of a Hell difficulty Secret Realm is already the greatest gain. I can sell these items for you, and all the gold coins will go to you!"

Yu Linglong's words caused Lu Chen's favorable impression of her to soar rapidly. Such a remarkable woman who was not greedy, was content, and possessed both beauty and strength was truly rare in this world!

"Alright!" Lu Chen was also decisive. After trading all the items to Yu Linglong, the three of them left the Corrupted Temple Secret Realm.

At this moment, there was less than 5 minutes left until the 30-minute time limit for the first clear.

It was already too late for Lu Chen to achieve a first clear of another 5-Star Hell difficulty Secret Realm.

But not being able to get the first clear didn't stop Lu Chen from killing the other World Lord BOSS.

As long as he killed this World Lord BOSS as well, the crisis in Xihai City would definitely be greatly reduced.

Once the big shots who rushed over because of the global first clear announcement arrived, they would also covet the 5-Star Hell difficulty Secret Realm.

By then! Xihai City would definitely become a big piece of fat meat in the eyes of these big shots, leading them to station personnel here. Xihai City would turn a misfortune into a blessing and develop rapidly.

It was possible that because of these two 5-Star Hell difficulty Secret Realms, it could become a new first-class major city in the Great Xia in one fell swoop.

However, this was not something Lu Chen cared about. He had already made up his mind: once the blockade of Xihai City was lifted, he would take his family and leave this place.

As for the Corrupted Temple Secret Realm he controlled, he would choose to open the Secret Realm permissions at that time, allowing everyone to farm it.

This way, those big shots wouldn't be able to find his trail through this Secret Realm.

"Linglong Pavilion Master, there isn't much time left. You should return to the city first; I'm going to meet the other World Lord BOSS!"

After saying this, Lu Chen, carried by the Magma Fire Sparrow, entered the [Fear Insect Nest] Secret Realm!
