89: Chapter 89: You say I'm showing off? Why are you crying when I unleash a forbidden spell?

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes.

He knew about the death of Pavilion Master Tang Hai, the Rank 7 master of Jinbao Pavilion.

He was killed by a Skeleton Shadow Assassin.

Sister Linglong had even secretly recorded a video of it at the time.

As for the death of an Elder from the Yunlan Guild, he was unaware.

Could it also be the work of a Skeleton Shadow Assassin?

That didn't seem right, either.

According to the intelligence provided by Lao Tie, the timing didn't match up!

Lu Chen couldn't be bothered to deal with this matter.

Regardless of what the Lord of Yunlan City was planning, as long as it didn't affect him, it was fine.

With his current strength, he could crush any class-changer below Rank 8!

[Alright, I understand. You should be careful too!]

This time, Lu Chen was heading to a 6-star invasion secret realm, the Dark Ruins.

In Yunlan City, all invasion secret realms above 6 stars were under the control of the Yunlan Guild.

"Stop! Without a ticket issued personally by the City Lord, no one is allowed to enter this secret realm!"

The person in charge of guarding it was a Rank 6 Elder of the Yunlan Guild named Han Gong, who was an A-grade Jungle Archer skilled in wood-attribute control arrow techniques.

"I know that!"

At this moment, Lu Chen was wearing a mask and a black-patterned combat suit, exuding a certain Aura of a powerhouse.

"If you know, then why don't you get lost? Do you want to stay for a meal?"

A Rank 5 elite guard spoke with disdain.

If it weren't for the Guild Master's instructions not to kill indiscriminately and to maintain the image of the Yunlan Guild, this greenhorn interrupting their meal time would have been an unforgivable capital offense!

Remembering the Guild Master's instruction to keep an eye out for anyone suspicious, Han Gong cast Insight on Lu Chen.

[Ding, target cannot be Insight-ed!]

Hmm?

Cannot be Insight-ed?

Han Gong was stunned.

"What the hell does 'cannot be Insight-ed' mean?"

This situation meant only one thing: the opponent's Rank was higher than his own. But he was a powerhouse who had long been stuck at the peak of Rank 6.

Doesn't this mean that the opponent wasn't pretending to be a big shot, but was a real one?

At least a Rank 7 big shot!

This was not someone he could afford to offend!

But he quickly realized something.

Because it was a 6-star invasion secret realm, class-changers above Rank 6 could not enter. Since the opponent wanted to farm this secret realm, didn't that mean the opponent's Rank was not above Rank 6?

"Good kid, you almost bluffed me. You're carrying a Rank 6+ anti-Insight item, right? Hand it over! Consider it an apology for disturbing me, otherwise, you won't escape a beating."

After Han Gong finished speaking, a group of guards surrounded Lu Chen with playful smiles.

Although the Guild Master had ordered not to kill randomly, he hadn't said anything about not robbing people legally.

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes but still spoke politely: "Gentlemen, I only came to farm the secret realm, and you are just responsible for guarding it. Why not make things convenient? If I get anything good, I can give it to you as a reward!"

"Pfft! Just a brat like you wants to solo a 6-star invasion secret realm? Better hand over your items and treasures, then get lost as far as you can!"

A Rank 5 elite sneered.

"You are just on guard duty, there is no need to rob people, right? Aren't you afraid of provoking someone you can't afford to offend?"

Lu Chen frowned slightly.

It seemed that without a ticket, the guards would not let him pass, so he would have to force his way in.

"Can't afford to offend? You? Hurry up, stop talking nonsense. If you keep yapping, I'll break your legs!"

The other Rank 5 elites laughed mockingly.

"I'll say this one last time. If I force my way in, you won't be able to block my attacks. If you die, don't blame me!"

Lu Chen said calmly.

"Hmm?"

When Han Gong heard this, his expression was stunned.

He vaguely felt that something was wrong.

His Han family had always followed the "Way of Stability."

This was also the main reason why he and his brother, Han Feiyu, had survived until now and become Elders of the Yunlan Guild.

Regardless of whether the opponent was bluffing or not, being cautious wouldn't hurt.

Therefore, he silently retreated behind the crowd and entered the barrier. Anyway, if the opponent had no real ability, his subordinates could beat him into a cripple.

"Damn it! Still acting tough. Kill him, then force him to hand over his good stuff!"

Hearing Lu Chen's words, the Yunlan Guild elites were enraged and attacked furiously.

But the next moment.

[Forbidden Spell — Holy Spear: Oath of the End!]

Buzz!

The Holy Spear, condensed from brilliant Holy Light, illuminated the area around the Dark Ruins secret realm.

Immediately after.

Boom!

The power of one spear!

Pierced through everything!

When the Holy Spear dissipated, the Rank 5 elites had all turned into riddled corpses, and even the defensive barrier guarding the invasion secret realm had shattered into slag!

Only Elder Han Gong, who had been prepared, survived with low health, but he was severely injured and would be a cripple for the rest of his life.

His face was covered in blood, and his eyes were full of terror.

He was wrong!

He was terribly wrong!

It turned out the opponent was truly a big shot. Even if he wasn't a Rank 7+ big shot, he was an invincible big shot at the same Rank.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have shattered a Level 6 powerful defensive barrier with a single skill.

"To be able to survive one of my skills, you can be considered to have some ability."

Lu Chen did not attack him again and stepped into the secret realm.

After all, it was he who wanted to force his way into this secret realm, and the other party was just doing their job.

The Forbidden Spell caused a huge commotion!

But Lu Chen was not worried at all.

After farming the secret realm, he would cast the Divine Concealment Forbidden Spell to leave, and no one would be able to track him.

Unless a Rank 8 big shot appeared, but the probability was very low.

However, just in case, Lu Chen decided to use a legendary luck talisman before leaving, so it would be foolproof.

On the other side.

In Yunlan City.

City Lord Yun Xiangtian had already summoned all the guild members who were out, as well as many powerful individuals from supported guilds.

His goal was simple: to thoroughly investigate the Yunlan City area and find the murderer of Elder Mo Ren.

Just then, Han Gong sent an emergency distress message: [A mysterious big shot has forced their way into the Dark Ruins secret realm. Except for me, all other guards were killed by him in a single skill!]

"What did you say?"

Yun Xiangtian opened the member list and found that all the members responsible for guarding the Dark Ruins secret realm, except for Elder Han Gong, were marked as dead.

Boom!

Yun Xiangtian's Rank 7 powerhouse Aura erupted on the spot.

He was furious!

An unprecedented rage!

Guild members dying one after another!

This was a serious provocation to his Yunlan Guild and a challenge to his authority!

He could not tolerate this matter; he had to capture all these culprits and have their entire clans wiped out!

"Continue the investigation. Bring in everyone with unknown identities or suspicious movements for questioning!"

"Yes!"

A group of class-changer powerhouses moved out in a mighty force. Their primary target for thorough investigation was all the guilds in the Yunlan City area!

Meanwhile, Yun Xiangtian personally led a team to the Dark Ruins secret realm to see what kind of three-headed, six-armed powerhouse dared to touch his people!

He vowed to capture this person, bring them back to the secret chamber to slowly devour them. Being able to severely injure Elder Han Gong with one skill while not exceeding Rank 6, this person must be a great Genius, at least an Epic-level Genius!

Not long after.

Yun Xiangtian arrived here with his men.

"Cough, cough, Guild Master, he just went in not long ago. I need to go back to heal my wounds!"

Han Gong coughed up blood.

He knew the person who forced his way in was not to be trifled with, and he dared not stay here any longer; it was better to stay away.

"Hmm! Men, take Elder Han Gong back to heal his wounds properly!"

Yun Xiangtian glanced at Han Gong, knowing he was already crippled, and couldn't help but lick his lips, thinking that when he went back, he would eat him to provide experience for his beasts. He was quite a good resource.

His seven beasts were just a little bit of experience away from all reaching the peak of Rank 7, at which point he could go to a top-tier major city to accept the Rank 8 advancement quest!
