When Li Luo opened his eyes again, what entered his field of vision was a dull and gloomy sky and earth. The sky had an inexplicable black fog flowing across it, like thick black water, giving people a very oppressive feeling.

  The gaze is distant, and the visibility is also extremely low. The sky and earth in the distance are also filled with a faint black fog, which surges like an unknown murmur emanating from within, directly resonating deep within one's soul, making people feel somewhat irritable and restless all of a sudden.

  But at this moment, the "Qingmu Heart Guard" worn on his chest suddenly emitted a warm and cool breath, which was transmitted into his body, gradually suppressing that feeling of annoyance.

  Sigh.

  Li Luo quickly came to, he turned his head and looked around, only to see that the surroundings were constantly flashing with rays of light, and then one after another, figures began to appear out of thin air.

  At this time, he just discovered that these people seemed to be inside a stronghold, with stone towers of varying heights rising from the ground in the stronghold. Their location was exactly at the center of the stronghold, where there was a highest stone tower overlooking the entire stronghold. The top of the stone tower emitted a faint light screen, which covered and enveloped the entire stronghold.

  The strange black fog in the distance will quickly purify and turn into nothingness when approaching the light screen.

  It's clear that this stronghold is the "Purification Stronghold" that Jiang Qing'e mentioned earlier.

  And this place is Purification Point 13, and for a while now it has been their... sanctuary in the dark.

  "How does it feel?"

  Jiang Qing'e's voice came from the side, and Li Luo turned his head to see her bringing along Qiu Bai, Tian Tian, Bai Mengmeng, and Xin Fu, with the four of them walking over leisurely.

  "It's really tough." Li Luo said frankly.

  This place always gives him a strange and oppressive feeling, as if there is something twisted in the swirling black fog that can erode people's hearts.

  And that's because they are within a "purification point", it can be imagined, once out of the point, that feeling will inevitably become even stronger.

  "After all, it's your first time entering the dark cave, and you're still a bit lacking in strength. Once you get used to it, it should be better." Jiang Qing'e comforted.

  Qiu Bai and Tian Tian also nodded, not ridiculing him, because for many years, the Shengxuan Xuefu had probably never directly allowed a student from Yixing Academy to enter the Dark Cavern.

  If they had entered the dark cave when they were in Yixing Academy, their performance would have been even more embarrassing.

  Li Luo took a deep breath and glanced around at the chaotic figures, roughly estimating that there were hundreds of people, which was quite a lot.

  "What should we do now? Should we directly start the purification task?" Li Luo asked.

  "No rush, the purification task can't be completed in just a few days. Let's find a place to rest first and use it as a temporary residence, then we'll plan our next move."

  Jiang Qing'e pointed to the high tower behind her and said, "This tower is the core hub of the purification base. Its essence is made up of the branches of the Xiangli Tree, so we can use it to transmit here. However, this transmission can only be activated once a day. After that, the academy will send some supplies in every day."

  "It seems this purification task is going to be a long and protracted battle." Li Luo sighed.

  "It's not necessary to be so negative, in fact this dark cave is not all bad, that is, practicing in the dark cave will not only speed up your progress but also increase the probability of breaking through bottlenecks." Jiang Qing'e said.

  Li Luo, Xin Fu, and Bai Mengmeng three little birds looked at each other in shock: "Can it really have this effect?"

  "It's said that this is because of the change in the rules of heaven and earth... The dark cave is located at the intersection of our world and the dark world, which is a place where the two worlds are connected. Therefore, some rules, some restraints will be greatly reduced here."

  Jiang Qing'e hesitated for a moment, saying: "Do you still remember the 'King's Battlefield'? In fact, there is also a similar effect there, and it is even stronger than the Dark Cave. The strong kings who enter it have a higher probability of breaking through the bottleneck than in our world. Therefore, some powerful warriors who have been stagnant for a long time finally choose to actively enter the King's Battlefield in search of that breakthrough probability."

  Moreover, the dark cave is depressing and eerie, but it is also a kind of tempering for one's mind, so in a certain sense, the dark cave can be considered an excellent place for cultivation.

  "I think that if it weren't for the 'Dark Tide', perhaps many resolute individuals would have stayed here to cultivate."

  Jiang Qing'e said with a hint of excitement in her golden eyes, apparently, she was the kind of person she was talking about.

  "Captain, those two words 'many', I suggest can be removed, not everyone has your kind of bravery." Qiu Bai smiled helplessly.

  "As soon as the purification task is completed, I will be the first to leave this dark cave, not wanting to stay here for a moment longer." Tian Tian also spread her hands, this place was too oppressive, and those alien creatures were extremely terrifying, she didn't want to have any more contact with them.

  Jiang Qing'e heard this and also smiled, didn't mind at all, after all everyone has their own choices.

  And when a group of people were talking, on that side, there was also a team walking out, and the leader was Tsurezure Akane.

  By his side was Ye Qiudeng's "Mountain and River Ding Small Team".

  They bumped into each other head-on, with people coming and going around them, giving off a somewhat narrow-road-encounter vibe.

  Dou Ze's Hong Lian had a tall and slender figure, with fiery red lips that made her look exceptionally sexy, not inferior to the Night Cheng Ying she saw before, one of the Seven Star Pillars.

  At this time, Dou Ze Honglian had her arms wrapped around her chest, and a provocative intention flowed out on her delicate face: "Jiang Qing'e, this purification task, I'm afraid you won't be able to keep your first place."

  However, Jiang Qing'e's exquisite and beautiful face, which was as calm as a jade glow, did not show any ripples. Her eyes glanced at Ye Qiudeng, who was following Du Ze Honglian, but she didn't say anything, and instead walked straight ahead, brushing past them.

  For Jiang Qingwa's cold and arrogant attitude, Du Ze Honglian had seen it many times before, but each time, it made her grit her teeth in anger.

  Of course, the most important thing is that the other party's capital is so sufficient...

  However, this time's Dark Den purification task, they have the upper hand in terms of strength, and it is highly likely that they will surpass Jiang Qing'e. Although occasionally surpassing her does not necessarily mean that she can surpass the latter, but at least being able to wear down Jiang Qing'e's arrogance is a good thing.

  Li Luo followed Jiang Qing'e and also brushed past Du Ze Honglian, while passing by Ye Qiudeng, the latter slightly tilted his head, with a faint voice coming over.

  "Li Luo, I will use the final result to let Jiang Xue know that her choice this time is wrong."

  Li Luo was taken aback, then seriously encouraged: "Come on, just because she said that after the purification task of the dark cave, I must go with her, and I'm also very worried about it. If your efforts can alleviate my troubles a little bit, I will thank you."

  Having said that, he left.

  Ye Qiudeng stood still, as if struck by lightning, seemingly subjected to a transcendent crushing attack. His teammates beside him looked at him with some sympathy.

  At this moment, Ye Qiudeng had an impulse to die with Li Luo.

  This bastard is really inhumane!
