Chapter 1166: Chapter 1166: The Fiends’ Backup Plan

"Young Master Lin Chen, what should we do next?"

Gu Yong’an approached Lin Chen, handing him the Spirit Crystal, which was the payment for the elixir they exchanged with Lin Chen.

Hearing the sound of monsters crashing against the stone gate of the hall outside, Gu Yong’an instantly abandoned the idea of attacking Lin Chen.

After all, even if they managed to kill Lin Chen and Su Yun and the others, they would not have the strength to deal with the Skeleton Demons outside.

With the current situation, it wouldn’t be long before the creatures outside breached the stone gate of the hall. Once the Skeleton Demons flooded in, the group would engage in a fierce battle, constantly at risk of losing their lives.

Su Dongyu, from afar, felt extremely conflicted about Lin Chen. Only one-tenth of the poison in the Black Bottle remained, and even if he used it, he wasn’t confident it would kill Lin Chen, especially after witnessing Lin Chen’s formidable strength. The opportunity seemed increasingly slim.

Yet, merely letting Lin Chen go did not sit well with him.

Boom—

Bang—

The sound of crashing against the stone gate of the hall grew more intense, to the point where everyone could see cracks forming on it.

Everyone’s hearts tightened, nerves on edge, prepared to face the enemy at any moment.

But their Spiritual Power and injuries had only recovered by less than fifty percent.

"Young Master Lin Chen, say something, everyone’s waiting for your decision."

Gu Yong’an grew anxious upon hearing the increasingly intense banging outside.

Along the journey, Lin Chen’s every decision had managed to turn the tide and rescue them from peril, so unknowingly, they had begun to regard Lin Chen as their backbone.

However, they only treated Lin Chen as the backbone when they needed him to lead the way. Apart from that, they had no intention of making Lin Chen their leader, especially since just now, the people from Xindi Water City were contemplating how to kill Lin Chen.

"Do you truly wish to hear my suggestion?"

Lin Chen looked at Gu Yong’an with a faint smile.

The way Gu Yong’an and the others looked at him earlier, how could Lin Chen not know their thoughts?

In the current situation, Lin Chen would never ally with these people to face the enemy.

Who knows if, during a battle with those Skeleton Demons, these people might stab him in the back.

"Of course, we all obey Young Master Lin Chen."

Gu Yong’an said earnestly.

He was sincere in his words, as Lin Chen’s commands had always been able to turn the situation around.

"Behind this wall, there is a secret passage. If you work together to break this wall, you’ll naturally reach the other side of the passage."

Lin Chen looked at a wall in the hall and said to Gu Yong’an and the others.

Upon hearing this, Su Yun, Mu Qinghe, Yang Minghui, and the others were astonished. They quickly opened their Divine Sense, probing the wall Lin Chen mentioned, but couldn’t sense the passage behind it as Lin Chen described.

Seeing this, Lin Chen meticulously guided them to the exact location. Under Lin Chen’s precise indications, they finally sensed that there was indeed a passage behind the wall.

This left everyone shocked, secretly wondering how powerful Lin Chen’s Divine Soul was to be able to perceive the existence of a passage within this hall.

However, little did they know, the hall was under restrictions, and Lin Chen’s Soul Power couldn’t detect the passage behind the wall either.

It’s just that Lin Chen had a Divine Skill that the others did not — the Abyssal Eye.

Under the Abyssal Eye, nothing could hide, seeing through the passage ahead was a trivial matter.

After hearing Lin Chen’s explanation, Gu Yong’an also discovered the passage. But the wall ahead was extremely thick, and even though the True Yang Monster Path had set traps within the Secret Realm, everything necessary was there, making it difficult to smash this wall.

In such a situation, conserving strength was the best means of survival.

Thus, Gu Yong’an naturally didn’t want only them to break the stone wall.

"Young Master Lin Chen, how about we work together to smash this stone wall, so everyone can leave quickly? Otherwise, once those Skeleton Demons invade the hall, everyone’s in danger."

Gu Yong’an made the suggestion, glancing around at Su Yun, Mu Qinghe, Yang Minghui, and the others.

Upon hearing this, everyone focused their eyes on Lin Chen.

"Of course, I’ll have Su Yun and the others assist you, but as you saw earlier, after the battle with Old Man Zhen Yang, we’re all severely injured and our Spiritual Power hasn’t fully recovered. I’m afraid we can’t help much."

Lin Chen first nodded in agreement to Gu Yong’an’s suggestion, then shook his head with a sigh.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yong’an inwardly cursed Lin Chen but could only grit his teeth and agree.

There was no other option; the Skeleton Demons outside were about to break through the stone gate of the hall.

"Everyone, strike together!"

Gu Yong’an shouted, immediately unleashing strength. Together with Su Yun and the others, they attacked and smashed the wall, revealing a passage in front of everyone.

It was unclear whether there were traps in the passage, but there was no time to think. Right after they broke the wall, the stone gate of the hall was also broken by the Skeleton Demons outside, and twenty to thirty of them surged in, crazily attacking Lin Chen and the others.

Boom—

Without a second thought, Lin Chen used his Spiritual Power to lift the Stone Coffins in the hall and smashed them towards the Skeleton Demons in the distance, creating obstacles in their path.

"Retreat quickly!"

With a soft shout, Lin Chen immediately retreated into the passage.

Seeing this, everyone else followed Lin Chen’s lead, lifting the Stone Coffins and throwing them at the Skeleton Demons before entering the passage.

Once inside, the passage indeed had numerous traps, indicating this was a massive pit set up by the True Yang Monster Path, not an escape route.

But thanks to Lin Chen’s warnings, everyone easily bypassed these traps without any casualties, using the traps to kill quite a few Skeleton Demons instead.

What everyone didn’t expect was that after circling inside the passage, they returned to the original hall, but now all the restrictions had been broken, and the escape route was open.
