Chapter 271 Troubled
Zhang Tie began to worry.

He has been constantly reinforcing the entrance to the dungeon over the years to prevent it from being discovered by outsiders.

The dungeon is now full of monsters, and these monsters are treasures to Zhang Tie!
They can greatly enhance Zhang Tie's spiritual awareness. In just three years, his spiritual awareness has doubled.

If all the monsters in this dungeon were turned into emeralds, Zhang Tie would be sure to have a spiritual awareness comparable to that of a late Nascent Soul in the early Nascent Soul stage!

Zhang Tie doesn't have much time left.

These monsters were too scattered, and Zhang Tie had to fly in one by one to find them, which was a waste of time.

Moreover, after finding the monster, he would have to spend a lot of time using the emerald to refine his spiritual consciousness.

It would take decades to go back and forth.

This is also why Zhang Tie asked Wang Yu to lure the monster over.

It was such a waste of time, as a lot of his time was spent looking for monsters.

There are people patrolling the entrance to the dungeon now, and they are most likely here to find him.

Over the past three years, Zhang Tie would occasionally go out to contact Lingbao Pavilion.

Mainly to exchange some resources.

Although he had some resources looted from Wang Gongfeng, most of them were relatively high-level elixirs.

Zhang Tie couldn't use them, and neither could Erya, so he took these pills to the Lingbao Pavilion to exchange them for some more suitable pill resources.

Lingbao Pavilion will also provide Zhang Tie with some information about the changes in Tianmo City.

It mentioned that the members of the Blood Clothes Society were tracking down Zhang Tie's whereabouts.

Zhang Tie had previously snatched Erya from the Chen family, one of the Blood Robe Society’s bases.

So the Blood Robe Society had already noticed Zhang Tie.

However, merely attracting the attention of the Blood Robe Society would not make Zhang Tie very worried.

Zhang Tie had previously asked the young man in black how the Blood Robe Society would respond to Zhang Tie's taking of Erya. The young man in black had a very direct response.
"Don't worry. The Bloody Shirt Gang arrests people every day. If they lose one or two, no one will care."

"What you should worry about is the top brass of the Blood Robe Society. The second in command of the Blood Robe Society, the Blood Demon Ancestor, has set his sights on you!"

Zhang Tie was very surprised at that time because he had never come into contact with the Blood Demon Ancestor.

However, the black-haired young man was very sure, "The Blood Demon Ancestor must have set his sights on you, because almost every member of the Blood Robe Society is looking for you. Apart from the Blood Demon Ancestor, no one else can have such a big influence!"

Seeing that Zhang Tie was skeptical, the black-haired young man specially gave Zhang Tie some information about the Blood Demon Ancestor.

The Blood Demon Ancestor uses babies to make medicine!
The Blood Demon Ancestor performed human sacrifices.

The Blood Demon Ancestor is stealing the bride!

Zhang Tie quickly stopped the black-haired young man from talking nonsense. He thought it was reasonable to attribute the matter to an old demon, such as using a baby to make medicine and sacrificing a living person. But what about the Blood Demon Ancestor stealing a bride?
So Zhang Tie quickly left Lingbao Pavilion, not wanting to continue listening to the black-haired young man's nonsense in order to get him to join Lingbao Pavilion completely.

"What the black-haired young man said is true. The entrance to the dungeon is full of people from the Blood Robe Society!"

Zhang Tie decided to go outside to take a look at the situation first, and by the way, add some more formations to the entrance of the dungeon.

So Zhang Tie asked Erya to build her foundation first. After she completed the foundation, he would bring her some fun things from Tianmo City.

Erya jumped up excitedly and began to practice peacefully.

. . .

Above the dungeon, teams of monks in blood-stained clothes were constantly searching for something.

Each person held a blood-red jade talisman in his hand. The jade talisman flickered, and whenever the flashing frequency of the jade talisman increased, they would adjust their direction and walk towards the place where the jade talisman frequency increased.

In this way, they narrowed the search range bit by bit. If nothing unexpected happened, they would be able to lock the entrance to the dungeon within the next few months.

Zhang Tie has now come out of the entrance of the underground city.

These blood-robed monks were all at the foundation-building stage. Zhang Tie swept his spiritual sense over them and found that they did not have any spiritual sense at all. It was obvious that they had taken the Immortal Ascension Pill to forcibly improve their spiritual sense.

These people kept searching, like ants, covering the entire ground and moving towards the entrance of their underground city little by little.

Zhang Tie couldn't help but start thinking, "If we kill them all, will we be able to keep the secret of the entrance to our underground city?"

No, no, although killing these people could delay them temporarily, a large number of Blood-Cloaked Monk would disappear, which would also be an obvious flaw.

Besides, Zhang Tie couldn't be so cruel.

If this batch of cultivators die, the Blood Robe Society will send the next batch. It is possible that the next batch of cultivators will all be Jindan cultivators, and they may even encounter the bloody figure who beat them badly at that time!
Thinking of that bloody figure now, Zhang Tie still couldn't help feeling a little scared.

That bloody figure is absolutely flawless!
Be it his spiritual consciousness or his physical body, he gave Zhang Tie no chance at all.

“Perhaps only after I have truly entered the Nascent Soul stage will I be able to deal with that bloody figure?”

Zhang Tie shook his head. It was not the right time to confront the Blood Robe Society directly.

After staring at these monks for a while, Zhang Tie still couldn't think of any good way to prevent these people from discovering the entrance to his underground city.

"Go to Lingbao Pavilion!"

Finally, Zhang Tie came up with a solution that was not a solution.

Ask Lingbao Pavilion for help.

. . .

Gu Yi was entertaining monks who were purchasing magic weapons when he suddenly felt something flash in his arms.

He quickly concluded the deal, went upstairs, and waited for Zhang Tie.

In order to avoid trouble, Zhang Tie landed directly on the second floor.

Gu Yi smiled and said to Zhang Tie, "Master Zhang, is there anything you need?"

Zhang Tie nodded.

Gu Yi immediately took out a catalog from her bosom and handed it to Zhang Tie as usual. Her fair and tender hand pretended to touch Zhang Tie's fingers accidentally, then she retracted it like lightning and looked at Zhang Tie with a blushing face.

“Do you have to do this every time?” Gu Yi was very persistent. Every time Zhang Tie came, he would fall for Gu Yi’s charm. Either he would touch my hand or “fall into my arms”, and then his face would turn red with shame. Zhang Tie was a little tired of it.

Gu Yi said coquettishly, "Senior, didn't you refuse?"

Zhang Tie was speechless for a moment. He did not refuse. After all, it felt good.

So Zhang Tie coughed lightly: "I have something else to do!"

Gu Yi immediately regained his composure, becoming pure and innocent. He took out another account book from his arms and said coldly:

"The booklet contains all the goods in Lingbao Pavilion, from news to magic weapons, everything is included."

Zhang Tie looked at Gu Yi, who was emitting a lotus-like aura, and could not help but exclaim, "This Fairy Gu is really an amazing person. Although her appearance has not changed at all, Zhang Tie always feels that she is like two completely different people before and after!"

Clearing his mind of distracting thoughts, Zhang Tie continued to think.
