Chapter 204: Chapter 119 Gate of Purgatory_2

"Don’t worry, since someone was able to come out alive, I will definitely be able to come out alive," Li Xiu smiled and comforted Chu Jun.

"That’s right, if it’s you, there should be no problem," Chu Jun, seeing Li Xiu’s determination, said nothing more.

After resting for a night, early the next morning, the official who had received Li Xiu and Chu Jun yesterday took them onto a bus, carrying them out of Red Sand City, along a highway, into the deep mountains.

The bus twisted and turned along the mountain road, which was in very poor condition, narrow and broken, with potholes and some areas even having water pits.

Several times, Li Xiu thought the bus would veer off the mountain path, but it only turned a corner.

Fortunately, Li Xiu’s mental fortitude and physical condition were good, otherwise, even if he wasn’t shaken nauseous, he might have faced a recurrence of heart problems.

The bus descended a mountain and ascended another; when the sun was overhead, the bus finally stopped at a mountain hollow.

The official got off with two soldiers and said to Li Xiu and Chu Jun on the bus, "From here on, we can only walk; the highway hasn’t been built to that side yet."

Li Xiu picked up his backpack and got off the bus with Chu Jun, leaving the highway, heading along a mountain trail.

The path was difficult to walk, but for the Trial Takers, it was nothing much; an hour later, they arrived at a simple base built against the mountain.

Outside the base, there was an electric fence, guarded by fully armed soldiers; the official presented the pass, and the soldiers inside let them in.

Under the guidance of the official and an officer inside the base, Li Xiu and the others passed through the base, leading to a cave behind the base.

At the deepest part of the cave, a black stone door was embedded in the mountain rock, the door was black, without any pattern or carvings; if not for the seventy-two grooves, it would be hard to recognize it as a Trial Gate, only as a smooth rock wall.

"Mr. Chu, this is the Gate of Purgatory," the official said, panting and wiping sweat; the walk had worn out his obese body, and his forehead was covered in sweat.

Chu Jun nodded, glanced at Li Xiu, then walked to the stone wall, took out a small pouch from his bosom, inside were rubies and sapphires, around three carats each; it seemed the gemstones to open the Gate of Purgatory were provided by Chu Jun himself.

According to the information provided by the Red Sand City Lord, the Gate of Purgatory could not be opened using a Trial Badge, only with gemstones.

Li Xiu said nothing, even if these gemstones were provided by Red Sand City, it was exchanged by the Chu Family’s transactions, he was still indebted to Chu Jun, making no difference.

"Bring the people over," the officer shouted, and soldiers with guns drove a group of dozens of people over to the Gate of Purgatory.

Seeing Chu Jun halt his actions and look at those people, the official smiled and said, "Mr. Chu, the trial of the Gate of Purgatory doesn’t limit the number of participants, and each person’s trial is individual, with no interference among them. You have only one person going in; it’s truly a waste. Would it be alright if a few people from my side also went in?"

Though this seemed like a plea, it actually didn’t allow Chu Jun to refuse; people were ready, even if Chu Jun didn’t consent, once the door opened, they would rush inside, and there’s no way Chu Jun could stop them.

Chu Jun looked at Li Xiu, Li Xiu nodded slightly, so Chu Jun said nothing more and continued placing the gemstones into the grooves.

Thirty-six rubies and thirty-six sapphires were embedded on each side, with quite good quality, all over three carats; the cost of opening the Gate of Purgatory was quite significant.

When all seventy-two red and blue gemstones were fully embedded, they began to shine on their own, lighting the two doors in blue and red hues.

With a rumble, the two doors slowly opened, revealing a gap.

There was no light emanating from the gap, different from the Trial Gate Li Xiu had entered before, it was pitch black inside, nothing was visible.

Even with the Dark Mirror on his face, Li Xiu could still see only a deep blackness.

"Sir, please go ahead," the official gestured for Li Xiu to proceed, urging him to enter quickly.

Li Xiu didn’t enter, so the people from Red Sand City naturally couldn’t enter either.

Li Xiu looked at Chu Jun, Chu Jun said, "I’ll wait for you here to come out, and we’ll go back together."

"Alright," Li Xiu nodded slightly and walked into the darkness beyond the gate.

After Li Xiu entered the gate, the officer sent soldiers to drive the dozens of people inside; before long, the door closed slowly, isolating the inside world completely from the outside with a rumble.

In a white room, Li Xiu was observing everything inside.

This place was about the same size as the rooms in the Dark Maze, also an all-white room, but this room had no doors.

The entire room was like a sealed box, with nothing in it but Li Xiu.

Suddenly, a light screen appeared on the wall, along with a familiar cold voice.

"Welcome to the Purgatory Gate Trial Ground; S-level trial is about to begin, the rule is: survive until the trial ends."

The rule was just one sentence, survive until the trial ends, nothing else.
