Chapter 1167: Chapter 1167: Competing for the Exotic Treasure

"That damned fiend, still holding back this trick, trying to trap us here to die."

Gu Yong’an and the others, seeing they have returned to the grand hall, immediately cursed in anger.

However, no one dared to express any dissatisfaction with Lin Chen. After all, if it weren’t for Lin Chen leading them into that passage, warning them time and again to avoid traps, and killing several Skeleton Demons, many among them would have already perished.

"There’s no use in saying unnecessary words; from now on, it’s each according to their own abilities."

"Su Yun, I’ll do my best to divert some Skeleton Demons for you, find a chance to escape yourself."

Lin Chen looked at the still numerous Skeleton Demons in the distance and spoke to Su Yun, while handing him some Talisman Inscriptions.

These Talismans serve for attack and protection.

At the moment, the grand hall, due to everyone having thrown out all the Stone Coffins, has its restrictions destroyed, with Skeleton Demons breaking out of some coffins, and a lot of magic treasures, Spirit Stones, and gemstones scattering in the hall.

Moreover, beneath that largest Golden Giant Coffin, although everyone witnessed Gu Yong’an falling into it and being possessed by the True Yang Monster Path, now with the True Yang Monster Path extinguished, there should still be treasures within.

Lin Chen now handing the Talismans to Su Yun, and letting him escape on his own, clearly plans to stay behind to seek opportunities.

"Boss, make sure to be careful yourself."

Su Yun looked at Lin Chen, took the Talismans, and said worriedly.

In Su Yun’s heart, he had long regarded Lin Chen as the real boss. Without Lin Chen, he had always been labeled as a worthless person, and it was Lin Chen who gave him a second chance at life.

Thus, knowing Lin Chen wants to stay, Su Yun cannot stop him, but if he leaves, Lin Chen would have one less burden. With Lin Chen’s great abilities, he should face no danger.

So Su Yun nodded, stopped lingering, and immediately fled towards the passage they came from.

Yang Minghui and Mu Qinghe saw this and understood Lin Chen’s intentions; it seems everyone will seek their own opportunities next, with little time to care for other disciples, so they also let Yang and Mu Family disciples leave.

Upon hearing the words of Yang Minghui and Mu Qinghe, the disciples of the two families, unlike Su Yun who listened to Lin Chen, some decisively chose to leave, while others hesitated, unwilling to give up the Spirit Stones and gemstones in the grand hall.

"You better think it over, if you stay, no one will care if you live or die. It’s up to you whether to leave or not."

Mu Qinghe looked at the crowd and said coldly.

Though he is the Young Master of the Mu Family, he has no responsibility to always ensure the safety of these people. Right now, there is a chance to escape, but if they choose to stay, if danger arises, they can’t blame him for being unable to save them.

Yang Minghui then cast a deep glance at the Yang Family crowd and said no more, what needed to be said was said, and if they choose to stay, she won’t care.

The disciples of both families hesitated for a long time, weighing the pros and cons, and looking at the increasing number of Skeleton Demons in the hall, they ultimately chose to flee.

After all, no matter how good the treasures are, once they lose their lives, what use are the best treasures?

In the Su Family, Su Dongyu kept his gaze on Lin Chen not long after Su Yun left, feeling equally indecisive.

He contemplated whether to leave or stay to deliver a fatal blow while Lin Chen competed for opportunities.

Ultimately, Su Dongyu put away the Black Bottle in his hand, not wanting to risk his life needlessly. Lin Chen had too many tricks, who knows if he has other trump cards? With only a tenth of the poison left in the Black Bottle, he really wasn’t confident to kill Lin Chen.

Let alone a tenth of the poison, even if the bottle was full of poison, Su Dongyu would still need to consider carefully.

It wasn’t until Su Dongyu left that Lin Chen put away the power he had been gathering.

In fact, he had already sensed Su Dongyu’s malicious intent towards him, and whenever Su Dongyu harbored the intention to kill, Lin Chen could detect it.

This might be due to the changes in the Divine Soul Lin Chen experienced after the Great Dao Resonance, reaching the abilities only possessed by those in the Later Stage of the Creation Realm.

Just like when Gu Yong’an and others felt a change of heart, it was the same.

Zoom—

As expected, when everyone had left and only Lin Chen, Mu Qinghe, and Yang Minghui remained, Gu Yong’an and the people from Xindi Water City once again entertained thoughts of dealing with Lin Chen and the others.

However, those thoughts quickly disappeared, as now Lin Chen and the others have somewhat restored their strength. If they wanted to deal with them, they could only attack separately.

Zoom, zoom—

The distant Skeleton Demons attacked, and people no longer held back, immediately using movement techniques to dodge while entering the grand hall, beginning to fight over various resources and treasures.

But the ultimate goal was not just these, but to approach that Golden Giant Coffin.

Zoom—

Just as Lin Chen and the others joined forces to deal with the surrounding Skeleton Demons while fighting over resources and treasures, Gu Yong’an suddenly used a Secret Technique, his body turning to nothingness, and those Skeleton Demons couldn’t attack him, so he leaped and flew under that Golden Giant Coffin.

"Old trickster, truly cunning."

Lin Chen snorted coldly; he had actually anticipated this outcome.

However, Lin Chen knew that sooner or later there would be a battle with Gu Yong’an, so there was no rush.

Soon after, several Elders from Xindi Water City also flew under the Golden Giant Coffin. Seeing this, Lin Chen glanced at the treasures in the hall, realizing he had almost grabbed everything, then gave up further snatching and flew under the Golden Giant Coffin.

Mu Qinghe saw this and naturally was unwilling to stay, following closely behind.

The departure of the crowd took away many Skeleton Demons, leaving only Yang Minghui alone in the hall.

Yang Minghui didn’t rush towards the Golden Giant Coffin like Lin Chen and Mu Qinghe. Instead, she stayed, slowly collecting treasures in the hall.

To her, these treasures were quite satisfying, and she knew that if she entered beneath the Golden Coffin, there would inevitably be a thrilling battle.

Doing so would force her to fully manifest the Goddess of War’s phantom, revealing her female identity. Exposing herself for these treasures seemed unworthy.
