After a few more seconds, that person walked right through the light and appeared in front of them.

When they saw this person, they both revealed different expressions in response to it.

Lin Fan revealed a faint smile while Wang Jian slightly knitted his brows.

When that person came through, he also looked around the room first before noticing that there were two people standing in the room.

The first person he saw made him knit his brows, but the second person he saw immediately made him release those knitted brows and break out in a smile.

Walking past Wang Jian who wasn't looking at him, but rather turned back to Lin Fan, that person came up to Lin Fan and waved his hand as he said, "Boss, I finally found you!"

Lin Fan had a faint smile as he said, "You're finally here."

That person was without a doubt Mo Ze Chen who had finally made his way through the labyrinth.

There shouldn't be any doubt of this since after Lin Fan, Mo Ze Chen was the person with the second most amount of golden energy, so he should have been able to easily see the golden glow in the corridor. Not to mention, it had been Mo Ze Chen who had found a lot of their clues and he was someone who explored ruins, so this should be easy for him to find.

Mo Ze Chen said with an aggrieved look, "Boss, this place really is strange. I couldn't get anywhere in the beginning and I was only able to find the exit when I started going backwards."

Lin Fan didn't say anything as he reached his hand out in front of Mo Ze Chen's forehead and slowly he began using a bit of his life energy.

Mo Ze Chen was surprised, but he didn't resist as Lin Fan's life energy triggered the golden diamond that was on his forehead. Once it was triggered, it started releasing golden energy that gathered in Lin Fan palm.

When that golden energy came out, Mo Ze Chen looked at Lin Fan in surprise, but he still didn't do anything in the end.

After a few seconds, Lin Fan released his life energy and the golden energy went back into the golden diamond.

Mo Ze Chen's back had been turned to Wang Jian and Lin Fan's hand had surrounded the golden energy, so Wang Jian hadn't seen anything, but he could feel a strange sensation coming from that direction. Still, he didn't dare do anything because of the heart demon that Lin Fan had created in him.

This ability that Lin Fan had just used was one that he had learned from the book that the elders had given him, it was one of the few techniques that was included that would allow him to control this golden energy.

After checking the golden energy in the golden diamond on Mo Ze Chen's head, Lin Fan shook his head and asked, "Did you follow the golden glow as soon as it appeared in the tunnel?"

Mo Ze Chen's expression was filled with even more surprise as he answered with a question, "Boss, how did you know that?"

Lin Fan shook his head and gave a sigh when he heard this.

When he had checked the golden energy inside the golden diamond on Mo Ze Chen's head, he could tell that it wasn't much stronger compared to when they were together last. It was clear that he hadn't received the wave of golden energy that would have come if he had just waited.

Still, at the very least he got some and cleared this labyrinth unlike the rest of the people who were still stuck here.

But even with him here, there was nothing they could do since there was no change in this room.

Was this room like the others where they had to meet a certain criteria as a group before they would be able to move on?

If that were the case, just how many more of these trials would there be?

While Lin Fan was thinking this over, something was happening way up above them at the very top of the tree.

…

At the very top of the giant glowing tree, the beast that had been lying there the whole time had finally stood up as a hint of excitement filled its eyes. It was almost as if what it had been waiting for the entire time had finally happened.

As soon as it stood up, all the ghost commanders that had been wandering around immediately came back without even receiving an order, it was as if they had instinctively felt something that had summoned them back.

When they all arrived, the beast didn't bother turning to look at them as it said, "The time is here. All of you take your positions and make sure that nothing goes wrong, or else you all know what will happen."

When the beast said this, all of the ghost commanders felt a chill run down their back. They naturally knew what the beast was talking about and they knew how serious this was because this was something that they had been preparing for for a long time.

With a nod and a bow from all the ghost commanders, they all jumped off the tree and flew out in different directions.

When they flew off the tree, they left different coloured lines in the air behind them.

Those lines crossed each other in the air until they seemed to form a giant formation in the sky above the ruins. As soon as all their lines were drawn, the different lines lit up with different coloured glows and there was a pressure that suddenly fell over the city.

None of the ghosts inside the city was affected, but all the humans that were still left outside of the tree of light felt this pressure fall down on them.

While the pressure wasn't strong enough to render them unable to do anything, it definitely had some effect on them since they could feel their movements become more sluggish.

Some of these humans were smart enough to withdraw from the city the moment this pressure had fallen down on them, but as for the rest…

They were arrogant young masters who felt that they would be able to break through whatever strange phenomenon this was, so they continued pushing forward. But of course, the main reason for them doing this was naturally because of their greed. They weren't willing to leave these ruins before they obtained the treasures that they believed they were entitled to.

It was just too bad that this was the last bad choice in their life.

Other than the ghost commanders that had flown out into the air, there were a few that had landed on the ground and had gathered large hordes that followed behind them. These ghost commanders led their hordes to hunt down their prey, namely the humans that still hadn't left these ruins just yet.

With the pressure on them, they were unable to fight at their full power, but even if they could, they still would have been overwhelmed by these ghost hordes. After all, the strongest of them had already entered the tree and the ones that were left were mid tier geniuses.

The strongest among them was only in the Low Embryo Soul Realm, far from being able to compare to the ghost commanders, not to mention the ghosts of the hordes since even the weakest ghost was also in the Low Embryo Soul Realm.

It didn't take long before these ghost commanders had swept through all the humans left in the city like a scythe cutting through wheat. All that was left was the dried out corpses of these humans, having been sucked dry of their life force.

This whole process took no more than five minutes and when it was done, the beast that had been standing above in the tree watching all of this gave a satisfied nod before turning to look down at the tree.

It looked straight down for a bit before suddenly turning into golden light that disappeared from the spot that it had been standing in.

This golden light combined with the tree and quickly traveled down the trunk before disappearing into the tree itself.

When this golden glow appeared again, it had appeared far under the tree.

…

After Mo Ze Chen had arrived, there still hadn't been a change in the room, so all three of them decided to look around for anything that would give them a clue.

However, after searching the room for five minutes straight, they still weren't able to find anything.

There wasn't a countdown like with all the rooms previously and all that was present was the throne with the coffin underneath it.

Just to see if there was anything special in the coffin, Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen had gone over to try and lift up the lid, but they weren't able to do it no matter how hard they tried. It was almost as if the lid was glued to the coffin or as if the lid didn't exist and it was all part of the same statue.

In the end, Lin Fan and Mo Ze Chen stood in front of the throne, trying to see if there was anything special about it.

It was at this moment that Lin Fan decided to sit down on the throne, but the moment he did, something had finally changed.

There was a golden glow that suddenly appeared in the center of the room.
