The fortune telling was so accurate that I accidentally accumulated a huge amount of merit!

Chapter 817 Anyway, it's very dangerous! (2nd update)
She needed to set rules for Xie Xuzhi in advance, lest he be coveted by some envious and shameless people.

Xie Xuzhi glanced at the white tiger and white wolf not far away; Yun Ran had never said anything like that before.

Now that she's suddenly said this, it seems Yunran has found something profitable in this white tiger.

Otherwise, he didn't believe that Yun Ran would do something so thankless.

If anyone else dared to make such a request to Xie Xuzhi, he would definitely say that it would be faster to just daydream.

However, the attitude is naturally different when dealing with partners.

"can."

Having gotten what she wanted, Yunran immediately dropped her previous carefree smile.

He then asked about Xie Xuzhi's discovery.

"Did you find anything on this black iron gate?"

They had seen a similar black iron gate once before when they came in from the underground palace.

At first, Yunran was somewhat shocked, thinking that the man in black robes was really capable, managing to evade detection and expend so much human resources to build such an underground palace.

But after learning that this was the Demon-Sealing Tower, Yunran realized that she had made a fuss over nothing.

The Demon-Locking Tower, which is equivalent to a divine artifact, could be a home here. Let alone an underground palace, it wouldn't be surprising if they dug through this entire area.

"These two black iron gates are very similar to the ones we saw before, but there are still some differences; the patterns on them are different."

The little paper figure just carried me up there. I saw the pattern at the very top, which is very similar to the one we saw in the big pit in the snowy mountains of Northeast China.

I suspect that area was also used by the black-robed men for experiments, but I don't know what happened to it; that large pit became an abandoned site.

Yunran's mind was immediately flooded with memories of her time in the snowy mountains of Northeast China.

Thinking of the evil god sealed there, the mountain spirit nearly dying, the monster in the cave, and the medicinal spring…

Yun Ran suddenly blurted out, "Do you think the black-robed men have many similar strongholds?"

Whether it was Mount Wuhuang or the snow-capped mountains of Northeast China, if she hadn't stumbled upon them by chance, no one would have discovered that these places bore the footprints of the man in black robes.

Xie Xuzhi's eyes immediately darkened.

He only stayed at the Special Administration Bureau for about ten years. All he could see were the materials sent up from various places, and he learned about the situation in those places from those materials.

The Black-Robed Men have been around for hundreds of years, and it's really difficult to know their movements unless you've been involved in them yourself.

"I will then arrange for my trusted men to re-explore all the surrounding areas."

Yun Ran was unaware that her question had caused countless members of the Xuanmen sect to complain and wish they could drag the culprit out and beat him to death.

"Master, that fog is spreading this way!"

The little paper figure on guard immediately sounded the alarm.

Yun Ran suddenly turned her head and looked over, and the white tiger and the others also stood up immediately and ran towards the black iron gate, as if they were afraid of being harmed by the mist.

"We need to go down to the next level. There's no turning back inside the Demon Locking Tower, or we won't even know how we died."

The white tiger had led them out of the mist, but the mist seemed to be able to detect the presence of living beings.

If any living creature stays in one place for a long time, they will spread to that area, which is very strange.

Yunran, who had originally wanted to rest for a while, could only nod helplessly: "Let's go."

It was naturally not Yunran's turn to push open the Xuan Tie gate; the little paper figures very consciously stepped forward to push it open.

Even Baihu wanted to show off in front of Yunran, so he helped push the door open.

What if that wicked woman gets pleased and pries off another crystal from its necklace? Yun Ran then took out two porcelain bottles from her bag and tossed one to Xie Xuzhi.

"Eat one, and you'll be hungry for a day."

Ginseng fruit doesn't need to be eaten, which means that inside this Demon-Sealing Tower, only she and Xie Xuzhi, these two flesh and blood bodies, need to be replenished.

As for the white tiger and the white wolf, although they are also made of flesh and blood, they have survived being trapped here for so long, so they certainly won't die easily.

The little paper figures used all their strength, their faces turning red, and finally managed to push open the black iron gate.

A low clicking sound rang out, and Yun Ran finally saw what was behind the black iron gate.

It wasn't pitch black at all as I had imagined; there were occasional flashes of light inside, so it didn't look too scary.

Yunran jumped directly onto the white tiger's back.

Then he casually asked, "What floor is behind this door again? And what's its origin?"

White Tiger: ...

If it had known it would be trapped here for so long, it would have escaped long ago.

However, it would easily reveal such things, which would make it seem like it lacks competence.

"I can't say, but anyway, it's very dangerous!"

Even though it knew nothing, the white tiger managed to come up with an excuse not to tell anyone, and it suddenly felt that it was really too smart.

"waste!"

Despite Baihu's best efforts to save face, Yunran still openly showed him disdain.

The group passed through the black iron gate.

"Creak" sound.

Once everyone had passed through the black iron gate, the gate closed automatically.

The instant the fog closed, Yunran clearly saw that the fog that had spread out earlier seemed to have encountered some kind of nemesis and quickly dissipated.

This situation gave Yunran a bad feeling.

The little paper figure scoured the way ahead, crackling with lightning as it moved. It went smoothly and didn't encounter anything strange.

A short while later, the little paper figure flew back.

“Master, the road ahead has no end, and I’ve also seen the mark I made earlier!”

When the little paper doll was scouting the way, it would unleash a thunderbolt at the slightest disturbance.

The marks left by lightning are very difficult to erase, so as the little paper figure continued to fly forward, it saw the marks of lightning on the wall.

It flew straight back to report to its owner.

Yun Ran frowned slightly as she listened to the little paper figure's report.

When she created the paper dolls, she incorporated the functions of recognizing direction and positioning into their bodies.

Even in the vast ocean, without any location or navigation, the little paper doll will not get lost or take a detour.

But now, if the little paper doll hadn't seen the lightning mark it left behind, it probably wouldn't have been able to discover that it was repeating the same path it had taken before.

Having formed a guess in her mind, Yunran took out her magical weapon and attacked the wall next to her.
