Chapter 1170: Chapter 1170: Brother Mu, don’t leave!

"If I ever find out which bastard set up this maze formation, I’ll skin him alive."

Mu Qinghe flew into a rage and cursed upon hearing Yang Minghui mention this matter.

Just as Su Liuyun, Yang Chengguang, and Mu Tianshan entered the secret realm, Lin Chen immediately sensed their three powerful presences.

Fortunately, that old fellow Tang Jingshan didn’t come; otherwise, Lin Chen might have had to flee again.

That guy seemed convinced that Tang Tianpeng was killed by him and wouldn’t let it go.

Lin Chen immediately conveyed his thoughts, instructing Master Qingxu and Dragon Fang to join him, then had the two return to his soul sea.

They’d been looting for a long time, and nearly eighty to ninety percent of the treasures in these ruins had ended up in Lin Chen’s pocket.

Originally, only Lin Chen, Mu Qinghe, and Yang Minghui were in the ruins.

Now those two were trapped by Lin Chen’s illusion maze array, so naturally, they had no chance to search for other treasures.

Gu Yong’an and the people from Xindi Water City were already dead at Lin Chen’s hands, which Mu Qinghe and Yang Minghui didn’t know, so naturally, they couldn’t have guessed that the illusion maze array was set up by Lin Chen.

The formation Lin Chen laid down couldn’t easily be broken by martial artists in the early stage of the Creation Realm, so Mu Qinghe and Yang Minghui were bound to be trapped once they entered.

"Damn it, how do we break this illusion maze array? We’ve tried every direction, but this forest seems endless, and we can’t get out."

Mu Qinghe was somewhat tired and complained.

Yang Minghui also stopped moving; the two of them couldn’t escape the illusion maze array by flying or walking quickly, and a sense of resignation settled in their hearts.

Anyway, the clan leaders of the three major families had entered, so they could just wait to be rescued. But they were quite distressed, fearing they’d miss out on the treasures outside.

After walking for a long time, Yang Minghui and Mu Qinghe suddenly saw a figure ahead. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Lin Chen.

"Great, so you two are trapped here as well; I thought I was the only one who fell into Old Man Gu’s trap. This is fantastic."

Lin Chen looked at Yang Minghui and Mu Qinghe, and a broad smile of joy appeared on his face.

Yang Minghui and Mu Qinghe were speechless when they saw this; what was this guy saying? He was even more gleeful than Mu Qinghe earlier.

But Mu Qinghe and Yang Minghui were puzzled by Lin Chen’s words; after some inquiries, they learned from Lin Chen that they were caught in Gu Yong’an’s illusion maze array.

"We can’t waste any more time, or all those treasures will be looted by that old guy."

Mu Qinghe, abandoning his previous gentlemanly demeanor, spoke gravely.

Hearing this, Lin Chen nodded heavily.

"We can’t let that old guy have it easy; while we’re trapped here, he and the people of Xindi Water City are outside collecting treasures."

Lin Chen also felt furious and spoke up.

"Brother Lin, you’re clever and resourceful; think of a way to break this formation quickly."

Mu Qinghe was very anxious, looking at Lin Chen and asking.

Upon hearing this, Lin Chen thought for a moment and seemed to have an idea.

"There is a way. As long as we locate the formation eye and destroy it, we can break the formation. However, I can only roughly guess the possible location of the formation eye, so I’m not entirely sure. I’ll need everyone’s help to break the formation together."

Lin Chen spoke seriously.

Then, following Lin Chen’s directions, Mu Qinghe and Yang Minghui furiously attacked the indicated locations.

Boom——

Bang——

Lin Chen’s own formation, guiding Mu Qinghe and Yang Minghui to destroy it, naturally was a simple task, but Lin Chen wanted things to progress slowly.

He occasionally gave pointers, allowing Mu Qinghe and Yang Minghui to occasionally hit the formation eye.

As some formation eyes were destroyed, the illusion maze array in front indeed dissipated somewhat.

It seemed it wouldn’t take long to completely break the formation.

"It’s truly effective; Brother Lin, you are truly knowledgeable and extraordinarily wise."

Mu Qinghe looked at Lin Chen and immediately praised him.

This made Lin Chen a bit embarrassed.

After all, Lin Chen really wanted to tell him that he was the one who set up this formation, wondering what Mu Qinghe’s expression would be.

Boom——

Bang——

After the three of them bombarded the formation for a while, they indeed broke the maze completely.

Once out of the maze, a figure swiftly executed a movement technique and flashed through the passage.

"Old Man Gu, where are you going? Leave the treasures behind!"

Upon seeing the figure ahead, Mu Qinghe shouted, chasing after it.

Seeing this, Lin Chen’s lips curled into a barely noticeable smile, as if a conspiracy had succeeded.

"Old Man Gu, for trapping me inside for so long, I won’t spare you today unless you hand over the treasures; perhaps I might spare your life."

Lin Chen, matching Mu Qinghe’s words, shouted loudly.

As the two chased after the figure, Yang Minghui gave them a deep look, then glanced at some remaining treasures in the stone chamber ahead, ultimately deciding to do as before and didn’t follow them but instead began to collect the treasures in front.

As the two pursued the figure, its speed was highly swift, and Lin Chen and Mu Qinghe couldn’t even keep up with its shadow.

"Damn it, this guy’s water escape technique is too suited for fleeing; we really can’t catch him."

Mu Qinghe panted heavily, feeling like he and Lin Chen were being toyed with by Gu Yong’an.

"Brother Mu, this guy’s movement technique is indeed remarkable; why don’t we split up, flank him, and maybe we’ll be able to catch him."

Lin Chen suggested to the panting Mu Qinghe.

However, upon hearing Lin Chen’s suggestion, Mu Qinghe immediately shook his head.

"No, Brother Lin; you take care of him. This guy is too swift, and I doubt I can catch him. You got this."

Mu Qinghe gave Lin Chen a deep look, recalling the remaining scattered treasures in the stone chamber, and immediately turned back.

"Brother Mu, don’t go..."

Lin Chen deliberately put on a show and shouted loudly.

Once Mu Qinghe had gone afar, the figure of Gu Yong’an appeared before Lin Chen; it was none other than a divine soul puppet that Lin Chen had refined.
