Chapter 1171: Chapter 1171: Taking the Blame

Buzz——

After Mu Qinghe left, Lin Chen raised his hand and summoned a flame that landed on the human-shaped puppet, instantly turning it to ashes.

Lin Chen’s Divine Soul Puppet, disguised as Gu Yong’an, had a trace of aura detected by Mu Qinghe.

To ensure nothing went wrong, Lin Chen decisively destroyed the Divine Soul Puppet without hesitation.

In this way, Mu Qinghe would never suspect Lin Chen again, and the deceased Gu Yong’an forever became Lin Chen’s scapegoat.

After killing Gu Yong’an, Lin Chen immediately burned his body to ashes, so Mu Qinghe and Yang Minghui could hardly find Gu Yong’an.

"Since it’s an act, it must be done thoroughly."

Lin Chen smiled slightly, looking in the direction where Mu Qinghe left, then flew after him.

When Mu Qinghe returned to the previous hall, Yang Minghui had almost gathered the treasures from the Stone Chamber, and Su Liuyun, Yang Chengguang, and Mu Tianshan had also arrived, collecting many treasures.

The treasures left in the hall were few, causing Mu Qinghe’s face to change drastically as he rushed toward the treasures.

"Don’t take everything, leave me some!"

Mu Qinghe’s face changed dramatically, he said angrily. At this moment, he deeply regretted going after Gu Yong’an.

"Qinghe, where did you go earlier? Why are you only coming now?"

Mu Tianshan looked at Mu Qinghe and asked with full curiosity.

They had just dealt with the Skeleton Demon above and came here, only to see Yang Minghui picking up treasures, with no sign of Mu Qinghe.

This made Mu Tianshan anxious, fearing his son might be in trouble.

But with Yang Minghui here, his son should be fine.

Now seeing Mu Qinghe returning, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, curious about where Mu Qinghe had been.

Yang Chengguang was delighted to see his daughter collecting treasures without any competition.

It seemed that the Yang Family was the biggest winner, and Yang Minghui’s gains were evident.

Upon hearing his father’s inquiry, Mu Qinghe did not want to mention the matter, feeling nearly frenzied inside.

However, thinking of Lin Chen’s cunning and the fact that neither of them gained anything, he felt a little better inside.

Both were too greedy, wanting to intercept Gu Yong’an and force him to hand over treasures, but Gu Yong’an was not that easy to catch.

Seeing Mu Qinghe pounce on the treasures like a mad dog, Yang Minghui was speechless, thinking she had collected enough treasures beforehand, so she stopped competing with Mu Qinghe.

Soon, Lin Chen also arrived at the scene.

The eyes of Su Liuyun and the others immediately fell on Lin Chen.

In their eyes, Lin Chen was a figure from a Super Power, with many means and a meticulous mind. It was unexpected for him to suffer such a loss this time.

"Brother Lin is back too, how about it, did you catch up with that old thief Gu Yong’an?"

Seeing Lin Chen return in a despondent state, Mu Qinghe felt much better inside, smiling lightly and gloatingly asked.

In Mu Qinghe’s view, someone like Lin Chen from a Super Power was superior in many aspects, but this time, he felt he had outdone Lin Chen.

Seeing Lin Chen not chasing Gu Yong’an down, Mu Qinghe felt immensely satisfied inside.

"That old thief is too cunning, couldn’t even catch his shadow in the end, sigh."

"You guys are too much, didn’t even leave me a bit!"

Lin Chen displayed the same frenzied look as Mu Qinghe earlier, immediately pouncing towards the distant treasures like a mad dog.

Yang Minghui watched, feeling speechless inside.

Mu Qinghe secretly rejoiced. After all, even a Heavenly Pride like Lin Chen had this side, and this time his choice won over Lin Chen.

Just as Lin Chen showed a great loss and lunged at the treasures, the Dragon Fang and Master Qingxu in his Soul Sea felt speechless.

This guy can really pretend; clearly, all the treasures were collected by you, yet you still act like this.

If the people in front knew that the Illusion Maze Array was set up by Lin Chen, who knows what expressions they would have.

"Can’t blame me, it was you two who went chasing after Gu Yong’an."

"How about I give you a magic treasure or two? "

Yang Minghui saw Lin Chen’s heartbroken look and softly said to Lin Chen.

Lin Chen and Mu Qinghe got nothing, but she gained quite a bit, feeling somewhat guilty inside.

"Giving me one or two?"

"You can’t possibly have any ulterior motives, right? Can you be that kind-hearted?"

Lin Chen, hearing Yang Minghui’s words, hesitated for a few seconds, looking at her and wondering what she was up to, asking three questions in a row.

"Hmph, as if I wanted to give you."

Yang Minghui heard Lin Chen’s inquiry, feeling speechless and irritated inside.

She was clearly kind-hearted, but Lin Chen saw her this way, which would upset anyone.

Later, Yang Minghui turned and left. The argument between the two caught Mu Qinghe’s attention, and he watched them curiously, wondering what had happened between them to make their relationship so strange.

Subsequently, everyone gathered the treasures and searched the ruins, leaving only after confirming no more treasures were left.

Before leaving, Lin Chen and Mu Qinghe were still not giving up, searching the ruins, but they still didn’t discover any trace of Gu Yong’an.

Even Su Liuyun, Yang Chengguang, and Mu Tianshan searched the ruins and never found this Gu Yong’an spoken of by Lin Chen and Mu Qinghe.

Everyone guessed the guy probably took the chance to escape the ruins while they were collecting treasures.

"Seems like that guy really ran away, damn it."

Mu Qinghe said through gritted teeth.

If he were Gu Yong’an, having acquired so many treasures, he would certainly have fled at the first opportunity, not staying longer.

Mu Qinghe was so furious because the True Yang Monster Path’s inheritance cultivation technique was also taken by Gu Yong’an.
