**Chapter 1170: The Manor Owner Likes Mazes**

The large tree seemed to emit a call, and the ancient castle suddenly became quiet. Lin Moyu walked through it, feeling a bit strange.

The castle was already very quiet, but now it had become even more silent.

Since he left the garden, he hadn't encountered any danger.

"Something feels off..."

Lin Moyu continued along the castle's corridor and finally arrived at the hall. The hall was over 200 meters long and more than 100 meters high, very spacious. It wasn't spacious due to any formation but was a real space.

There were no signs of battle here, indicating that the great battle back then didn't affect this place. The hall was very quiet, and at the main seat in the front, there was a beautifully crafted throne.

"A Skeleton Throne?"

Seeing the throne, Lin Moyu almost instinctively spoke out.

Upon closer inspection, it wasn't a Skeleton Throne, but the two were very similar.

Lin Moyu guessed that the throne should be the seat of the manor owner.

Just as he was about to take a closer look, he suddenly heard a sound from behind, and footsteps echoed.

Besides the footsteps, there were also some chaotic voices.

"Someone's coming."

Lin Moyu turned his head and saw some figures appearing outside the hall.

The first to rush in was a demon, covered in scales and spikes, looking very ugly.

His eyes were fierce as he glanced at Lin Moyu and said viciously, "Human!"

Lin Moyu replied softly, "Is there a problem?"

The demon clenched his fists, his chest heaving, "Be careful."

He didn't make a move. The various races had a tacit understanding to maintain the unspoken rules and wouldn't act unless there was a conflict of interest.

Otherwise, they might end up benefiting others, a situation no race wanted.

Lin Moyu sized him up. Covered in scales and thick flesh, it was clear his physical body was strong.

"His physical body is indeed strong, but why can he appear here directly, and he's not alone..."

More people appeared outside the hall.

This time, it was an elderly human, dressed in a robe, looking spirited, and exuding a unique military aura. Lin Moyu could sense the immense power contained within his body, his physical strength very strong. Coupled with his aura, Lin Moyu immediately spoke, "Are you Elder Wang Xing?"

The second group to enter included Elder Wang Xing, who had brought three people with him. It was clear that these three were already dead.

Seeing Lin Moyu, Wang Xing's eyes flashed with joy, the joy of seeing a fellow human, "Indeed, it is I. And you are...?"

Lin Moyu replied, "Junior Lin Moyu."

As he spoke, Lin Moyu took out his Honorary Token.

Seeing the Honorary Token, Wang Xing's eyebrows raised several times, and his gaze towards Lin Moyu changed instantly. Only two types of people could obtain the Honorary Token.

One was a top genius, and the other was someone who had made outstanding contributions to the human race.

Needless to say, Lin Moyu belonged to the former.

Even for top geniuses, Wang Xing didn't dare to be careless, especially since the other party had made it here.

Wang Xing straightforwardly asked Lin Moyu about the situation outside.

Lin Moyu said, "Before I came in, the Human Emperor Network issued a task, and the difficulty level was deep red."

"The reason was that Elder Wang was trapped inside with no news, and everyone thought you were in grave danger."

"Actually, given Elder Wang's strength, we were worrying unnecessarily."

Wang Xing smiled bitterly, "Actually, several times, I almost lost my life here."

Wang Xing recounted his experiences. After entering the manor, he, like everyone else, experienced the first three tests of reflexes.

Fortunately, Wang Xing was experienced and passed without incident.

In the subsequent combat tests, one-on-one, one-on-three, Wang Xing had no problems.

But during the one-on-ten test, Wang Xing was nearly killed.

He didn't have the chance to escape into the safe passage. Fortunately, as an elder, he carried enough pills and managed to survive by fighting and retreating.

The subsequent ambushes in the flower and grass clusters were also perilous.

Wang Xing was lucky, sustaining some injuries but making it through.

However, at the last safe passage, Wang Xing chose to enter.

By that time, he knew that continuing forward would likely result in death.

After entering the safe passage, he found himself in a secret chamber.

Unlike Tang Zhen's secret chamber, it was also different from what Lin Moyu had imagined.

The secret chamber had two doors leading to different places.

One was an exit, which would lead out of the manor and provide a reward.

The other door led further inside.

Wang Xing didn't rush. He healed his injuries in the secret chamber before choosing to continue forward.

Thus, he spent the following days wandering through one secret chamber after another.

The secret chambers were not only dangerous but also had maze-like properties.

After passing through three secret chambers, five exits would appear in the next chamber.

One exit led out of the manor, while among the other four, one was the correct exit, and the other three led back into the maze of secret chambers.

Elder Wang had several chances to leave the secret chambers, but his stubborn nature made him persist, determined to conquer the maze.

Unfortunately, he never chose correctly.

Lin Moyu found it amusing and thought to himself, "So the playground is like this. It seems the manor owner has a fondness for mazes."

To him, the entire manor seemed like a puzzle-solving arena.

Each test was a puzzle, with no hints throughout, requiring one to think and solve it themselves.

It must have been more difficult in the past. After the great battle, the manor fell into a semi-abandoned state, making it simpler.

Elder Wang was trapped in the maze of secret chambers for several days. Just now, the maze disappeared, and he found himself in the ancient castle, then walked over.

At this moment, more people entered the hall, belonging to different races, all with strong physical bodies.

Lin Moyu knew these people were likely like Elder Wang, having come from the maze.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence.

It seemed he was the only one who had entered the castle through the main gate.

As for why the maze disappeared, Lin Moyu didn't know.

He didn't bother to guess. The result was already in front of him, and asking why was meaningless.

After Wang Xing finished speaking, he curiously asked, "Lin Moyu, how did you solve the maze?"

Lin Moyu shook his head, "I didn't enter the maze."

Wang Xing was stunned and immediately realized that Lin Moyu had fought his way through, "Lin Moyu, what was the test after the flower and grass clusters? Can you tell me?"

At that time, he felt he had to enter the safe passage, or he would die.

But he was also curious about the subsequent tests.

Lin Moyu described the test of the thousand-skeleton army, and Wang Xing's face changed.

With his strength, he could handle ten or a hundred skeletons, perhaps even pass.

But a thousand... he would surely die.

He was a God Sovereign, and although his physical body had reached the True God realm, about the fifth tier, he wasn't skilled in physical combat.

Ten flower monsters had already nearly killed him. A thousand skeletons were terrifying to imagine.

He was grateful for his choice at the time and also amazed by Lin Moyu's strength.

Although he couldn't discern Lin Moyu's cultivation level, he could tell that Lin Moyu's physical body was very strong, stronger than his own.

Lin Moyu noticed his confusion and smiled, "My cultivation level is not high, but I have trained my physical body to be very strong."

Wang Xing knew Lin Moyu was being modest and went along, "It seems training the physical body is not without merit."

Lin Moyu smiled but didn't respond.

After a while, more people arrived.

In total, more than twenty people entered the hall, with the demon race having the most, eight in total.

Among the humans, only Lin Moyu and Wang Xing were present, with no one else.
