Chapter 4939

“Of course, the fee goes to the City Lord. The entire Purgatory Field is controlled by the City Lord’s Mansion,” Bai Yi explained.

“Behind Rhino City, there’s a mountain where a cave, known as the Demon Cave, is located.
It’s said that in ancient times, countless demons were sealed inside.”

“Later, when Rhino City was established, the Demon Cave also fell under the control of the City Lord’s Mansion.”

“The formation used to enter the Demon Cave is managed by them as well. Over time, the Demon Cave evolved into what is now known as the Purgatory Field.”

“Someone once trained in the Purgatory for a full year. When he emerged, his strength had skyrocketed, directly reaching the Second Heaven.”

Bai Yi patiently explained as he walked with Kai.

“Demon Cave?” Kai’s eyes lit up. “Father-in-law, can you take me there?”

“Is your strength enough?” Bai Yi asked, concerned. “Those who enter the Demon Cave are all powerful rogue cultivators, and many never come out.”

“With your current cultivation, attempting it could be extremely dangerous.”

Bai Yi clearly worried for Kai’s safety.

“Don’t worry, Father-in-law. I know my limits. I’m just wondering… do you still have 500,000 immortal coins for the entrance fee?”
Kai asked, slightly embarrassed.

Now, the main concern was whether Bai Yi could gather the 500,000 immortal coins needed to enter.

“If you’ve made up your mind, I’ll find the 500,000 immortal coins even if I have to sell everything I own,” Bai Yi said firmly.

“You only need to focus on your safety. Don’t act recklessly once you’re inside. If anything seems wrong, leave immediately.”

Bai Yi’s voice was full of worry. After all, how would he face his daughter if something happened to Kai?

“I understand!” Kai nodded earnestly.

“Alright. Since you’ve decided, follow me!” Bai Yi said.

He then led Kai out of Linghufang.

Before leaving, Kai informed Xiu Rui and Hu Mazi.
However, the two were enjoying their stay in Linghufang immensely, especially Hu Mazi, who was spending his nights merrily with the two women he had brought.

Leaving Linghufang behind, Bai Yi and Kai flew toward the northern part of Rhino City.

You should know, Rhino City was vast, and to its north stood a towering mountain range.

The two flew for over an hour before gradually descending.

At this moment, Kai and Bai Yi had arrived at the foot of the mountain. The towering peak ahead gave Kai a heavy, oppressive feeling.

Halfway up the mountain, a massive cave, a hundred feet wide, glowed faintly with flashes of golden light.
A winding staircase led straight up to the cave.

At the base of the mountain, there was a courtyard protected by a formation, and the staircase began within it.

“What are you here for?”

Two armored soldiers approached and questioned Bai Yi and Kai.

“We’re here for the trial—to enter the Purgatory Field,” Bai Yi replied calmly.

The two soldiers gave them a cursory glance before stepping aside and saying, “Go in.”

Bai Yi led Kai into the courtyard. Inside, Bai Yi approached the payment office.

“Five hundred thousand immortal coins per person,”

a middle-aged woman said without even looking up.

Bai Yi casually took out a storage bag and tossed it to her.
The woman weighed it briefly with her hand before putting it away.

“This pays for one person. Who’s going?” she asked, finally glancing up at Bai Yi and Kai.

“He’s going,” Bai Yi said, pointing at Kai.

The woman studied Kai carefully, a flash of surprise crossing her eyes.

“Once you enter the Purgatory Field, life and death are left to fate. We are not responsible for anything that happens,” she warned.

“Don’t worry, even if I die, I won’t come asking for compensation,” Kai said with a faint smile.

The woman took out a lavender crystal and tossed it to Kai.

“This is the trial crystal for entering the Purgatory Field. Walk up the staircase from here—there are a total of 180,000 steps. You must climb them all.”

“If you can’t even reach the top, you’re not qualified to enter the Purgatory Field.
And the 500,000 immortal coins will not be refunded,” she added coldly.
