Chapter 352 The Ruins Reopen

Lin Chen's identity is no longer what it used to be.

Although Qin Shaoshao did not express her opinion, everyone knew that Qin Shaoshao was only close to Lin Chen.

This relationship is the reason why Qin Shaoshao is willing to stay in Nine Star City.

With Lin Chen's talent and status as an elder of the Spirit Academy, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that Lin Chen now wields the greatest power in Nine Star City.

He has experienced far more than most people.

After all, not everyone is qualified to take on the Nine Nether Serpent.

"broken."

Li Gao counted the quantity and found that the Immortal Fox Energy Bodies had been distributed, which meant that Lin Chen had not received any.

"I hope you can come back safely."

Ningye did not expect more.

He had barely finished speaking when he noticed Qin Shaoshao beside him raise her eyebrows slightly.

Ning Ye looked over and saw Lin Chen's figure appear.

He breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stepped forward.

"Is this person Lin Chen?"

"It really seems to be him."

“Nine Star City is his hometown, so it’s not surprising that he’s here.”

Lin Chen's appearance caused a small sensation.

This is a rare opportunity for them to see a celebrity.
After all, many families now beat their children, and Lin Chen has become a positive example, the kind of child that other families talk about.

"Wait, what's that little fireball on his shoulder that looks like a child's?"

"Fire spirit! It's a fire spirit!"

The sound caused an immediate uproar throughout the venue.

Hearing about fire spirits, many people's eyes become bright and alert.

This fire spirit is even rarer than a spirit beast with good bloodline, because it can be refined and contracted, and has unlimited potential.

It has no bloodline power; let it cultivate and comprehend the universe on its own.

Seeing Lin Chen obtain such a treasure of heaven and earth, many people naturally became envious.

Ning Ye, who was about to offer words of comfort, froze upon hearing about the fire spirit.

He stared at Lin Chen in disbelief, and sure enough, he saw the fire spirit. Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he quickly went to Lin Chen's side and whispered, "You wouldn't happen to be..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Chen nodded.

“That’s true. Besides the Taiyi True Fire, what other strange fire could become sentient?” Ning Ye took a deep breath and then became nervous.

Because of the appearance of the fire spirit, many people's pupils instantly turned fiery, and their eyes were full of greed as they looked at Lin Chen.

Just then, Qin Shaoshao appeared silently next to Lin Chen, and at that moment, the desires of countless people vanished instantly.

But the ones who experienced the greatest emotional shifts were not them, but rather...
The Ning family patriarch, Li Gu.

Li Gu had always been looking forward to the appearance of Li Wang, and in his heart, he had already regarded Li Wang as the successor of the Li family.

The Gu family has Gu Ning, the Yin family has Yin Changsheng, and someone from the Li family must also step forward.
Otherwise, the Li family will become a burden in the future.

So when Li Gu learned that the Taihua Ruins had opened, he immediately broke through space and brought Li Wang here, all for the sake of the Taiyi True Fire.

"Wang'er didn't obtain the Taiyi True Fire?" Li Gu's face darkened.

In his view, with Li Wang's abilities, taking down the Taiyi True Fire should be an extremely simple matter.

Lin Chen also noticed Li Gu's presence and the greedy eyes of the others.

But there was nothing he could do. He didn't want to come out so early, but the space sent him out directly.

In other words, this site is slated to be closed again.

"It's closed."

Suddenly someone shouted.

Immediately, some people started to panic.

The space is closed, meaning that anyone who doesn't come out is stuck there forever.

In the land of ruins, life and death are determined by fate.

This kind of place offers the greatest potential profit, but also the highest risk. Many people had already begun to mourn their loved ones inside when Li Gu suddenly leaped into the air, appeared before Lin Chen, and demanded, "Where is Li Wang?"

Lin Chen's pupils suddenly contracted.

It's time to come.

However, he still pretended to be clueless and asked in return, "What are you saying, senior?"

"I'm asking, where is Li Wang?" Li Gu's voice was filled with murderous intent.

Qin Shaoshao frowned and stood directly in front of Lin Chen, blocking his imposing aura.

But Li Gu's expression remained unchanged, and he said, "Heavenly Spirit Body, you can't stop me."

As Qin Shaoshao spoke, he was about to take out the green leaves.

Lin Chen said, "Senior, if you want to steal my fire spirit, just say so. I don't know anything about Li Wang."

Lin Chen is very smart.

If Qin Shaoshao and Liu Gu were to fight, Qin Shaoshao would definitely lose in the end.

However, there was no evidence on Li Gu's person to suggest that he killed Li Wang.

To avoid being exposed, Lin Chen didn't take any of the things Li Wang left behind.

Upon hearing this, the others began to murmur amongst themselves.

In their view, Lin Chen's statement was reasonable and well-founded.

Who wouldn't want a fire spirit?
“Li Wang went there for the Fire Spirit. Since you obtained the Fire Spirit, you couldn’t possibly have never seen him,” Li Gu said, staring at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen cupped his hands and said, "Senior, I went in and fought against these seniors."

Lin Chen pointed to the people who had fought with him for the Immortal Fox Energy Body and said, "They can testify for me."

"Later, I accidentally sensed the fire spirit and then left."

"Speaking of which, this fire spirit is also destined to be with me, as it actually followed me on its own."

After saying that, Lin Chen released the fire spirit, which cooperated by jumping onto Lin Chen's head and kissing his hair.

"Burn it! Burn it!"

Lin Chen quickly put out the fire, which made everyone even more envious.

The fire spirit's gaze towards Lin Chen didn't seem like one of conquest; it truly seemed like it automatically recognized him as its master.

Li Gu's expression turned grim and uncertain.

If what Lin Chen said is true, then where did Li Wang go?
With his strength, it's impossible for him to die inside.

Although the divine fox he brought in was only level 55, combined with his abilities and Beast Taming Techniques...
"Has any of you seen Li Wang?"

As Li Gu spoke, he looked around.

At that moment, no one spoke.

Because they genuinely didn't know.

One person whispered, "Even if we've seen it, we wouldn't dare say it now."

The atmosphere became strange, but Li Gu still considered Lin Chen as the prime suspect.

At this moment, Ning Ye spoke up: "Everyone, the matter of the ruins is over. I will say it again: Nine Star City is a peace-loving city. I hope that everyone can abide by the rules here."

Many people nodded in agreement.

Now that things have come to this, many things are already decided.

Furthermore, Nine Star City's handling of the ruins this time has indeed won the favor of many people.

Subsequently, many people left.

Lin Chen followed Qin Shaoshao and left together.

Li Gu watched Lin Chen's departing figure, lost in thought.

He now strongly suspects that Lin Chen was the killer.

But how could Li Wang lose to Lin Chen?
Upon arriving at the Monster Hunter Guild, Ning Ye said, "You'd better not leave Senior Qin for a while; that old man is probably keeping an eye on you."

"Isn't Patriarch Ning curious?" Lin Chen asked Ning Ye.

Unexpectedly, Ning Ye laughed and said, "The truth is not important. What is important is that this fire spirit originally belonged to our Nine Star City."
