l directions. Dozens of tigers surrounded them, and the Tiger King's eyes were cold. 。This is getting interesting. 。 。One man, against a pack of tigers!Facing the encirclement of the tiger pack, Liu...Yi Cui Lou, as one of the top three fireworks entertainment venues in the imperial capital, caters to a high-end clientele. While the number of guests is not large, their spending power is generally very strong.

More than a hundred guests were searched closely by fifty-one people led by Tu Ling.

"Everyone, surrender all your gold, silver, jewelry, promissory notes, and other valuables." Xu Jingming stood there, commanding the situation. Under his human skin mask, his face appeared stiff and cold, "If anyone is found hiding treasures, they will be killed without mercy!"

Suddenly, there was a loud crash!

Each and every guest was so frightened that they immediately took out the embroidered pouches in their arms, as well as the valuable treasures they carried with them, each holding them carefully in their hands.

“Ladies of the Ycui Tower, you must remove all your jewels and ornaments! Anyone found hiding treasures will be killed.” Xu Jingming swept his gaze over those courtesans and beauties. The women of the Ycui Tower were also ranked in levels, numbering perhaps three hundred or so.

Some of the top players also have very valuable jewelry.

Under Xu Jingming's threat, the famous courtesans of Yicui Tower took off their jewelry and dared not resist.

"This bandit leader, his first words were 'kill without mercy'! He didn't show any pity for the beautiful women at Yicui Tower." The second master of the Shen Gong family was quite dissatisfied. What kind of status was he He was one of the top three figures within the Shen Gong family. Now, he could only obediently take out everything valuable on his person.

"The Shen family is truly wealthy." Xu Jingming couldn't help but praise, seeing the money and valuables taken out by the second master of the Shen family. "Master Shen, rest assured, just hand over the money and valuables, and you won't be harmed in the slightest."

Shen Gongjia's second master remained silent.

The head of the Yu family from beside took out a stack of gold leaves and several silver notes with no writing on them from his bosom. The total value was about three thousand taels of silver.

In places like brothels, silver notes must be 'unmarked'! Those with markings are difficult for the brothel to authenticate, and it's hard to tell if a customer's markings are genuine. Therefore, they only accept cash, silver coins, and unmarked silver notes.

"Master, please bear with me for a moment," Xu Jingming politely said.

"You're welcome." The doorman nodded, surprisingly friendly.

As a top figure in the imperial capital, Xu Jingming was naturally familiar with him and knew that he was the sect master.

The prominent figures of the imperial capital, naturally, possessed considerable wealth. Even when merely strolling through a brothel, they wouldn't need to bring along an excessive amount of gold and silver! Two or three thousand taels would already be considered quite substantial.

Most of the guests at Yicui Building carry only a few hundred taels of silver!

There are also a very small number of people who are short on money, with only two or thirty taels of silver.

"Here, here, and here!" Two eighth-rank masters were leading a group of second-rate masters in searching for gold, silver, and other treasures within the Ycui Tower. Under their mental awareness, they quickly located numerous treasures.

The daily earnings of gold and silver from Yicui Building are also carefully stored! Not many people in Yicui Building know the storage location.

But Xu Jingming and his group had an incredibly high search efficiency.

……

Outside the Ycui Tower, it was tense and anxious with a sense of impending danger!

The guards as well as the numerous servants of the guests, all watched Yicui Tower with tension. Even from further away, many passersby came to watch too.

"Something big has happened!"

A group of ruffians broke into Ycui Tower. Many of the tower's guards were killed, and the remaining ones didn't dare go inside. The onlookers watched from afar, chattering excitedly. Occupying and pillaging Ycui Tower was a rare event even in the capital city.

"The guests inside Ycui Tower are all big shots! This matter has escalated now, look, the Blood Rain Guards are coming over too."

Pedestrians were discussing.

And one after another, masters of the Blood Rain Guard arrived rapidly from all directions and gathered outside Yicui Tower.

"What's going on in there" the leading Blood Rain Guard captain shouted.

"Captain Wan," a head guard from the Yicui Building stepped forward, his voice trembling with urgency, "A group of ruthless villains have taken over the entire Yicui Building. Nearly two hundred of our guards are dead, but none of those villains have fallen. There are about a hundred of them, and from what we've seen, they're all top-tier masters."

The blood rain guards who arrived heard this with disbelief.

Captain Wan pressed further, "Are you sure They're all first-rate masters"

"Yes," the leader of the Yicui Tower guards nodded, confirming. "I can confirm that they were all first-rate masters. We lost so many people, and none of them died."

The first batch of Xue Yu Guards who arrived were startled.

"My God, over a hundred top-notch experts"

"Don't even talk about us as a single unit, even if all one thousand Blood Rain Guards from our thousand households were here, we wouldn't be sure of victory! If we added a few thousand auxiliary troops, we might stand a chance of winning! But even then, the casualties would be incredibly heavy."

"It must be a master from the East Mansion headquarters who has arrived. Our Qianhu So isn't very suitable for leading the charge."

These Blood Rain Guards didn't dare to go in at all.

The enemy is too terrifying, going there would be a death sentence!

"Draw the twelve numbered arrows!" Captain Wan ordered immediately, and in an instant, member after member of the Blood Rain Guard drew out their numbered arrows.

"Hey!"

"Hey!"

"Hey there—"

One by one, arrows shot up into the sky! A dozen arrows rose in quick succession! For a moment, the night sky was filled with patterns of blood rain, twelve distinct patterns, clearly visible and signifying the gravity of the situation.

Seeing the torrential blood rain from afar, everyone's face changed.

"The enemy is terrifying and requires support from the Eastern Palace headquarters."

"We need someone experienced from headquarters."

All parties' blood rain guards were rushing over, and at the same time, the East Mansion headquarters saw the signal arrow and was also mobilizing masters to come.

The Blood Rain Guard's signal arrows also have strict rules. The twelfth arrow! Represents a danger level exceeding the capacity of the 'Thousand Household Department' and requires support from the headquarters' top experts.

"Let's wait here patiently. Going in there is a death sentence." The Blood Rain Guards who arrived one after another were righteous and fearless, observing from outside. They knew there were over a hundred top-tier experts inside, and none of them wanted to go in.

……

These arrows of Xue Yu Wei also attracted the attention of many forces in the Imperial Capital! Everyone knew that something big was happening in the direction of Yi Cui Lou.

"The heavens are guiding me, I must go there!"

A thin, old monk in tattered robes walked barefoot through the dilapidated alleys. His feet were filthy.

The withered old monk raised his head, and he could see the magnificent Yicui Tower from afar. At this moment, he walked step by step, his figure seeming illusory, getting closer and closer to Yicui Tower. At the same time, the intangible mental power had already spread over.

His spiritual power, like a tide of darkness, surged over two or three li and completely enveloped Ycui Tower.

Even within the Yicui Tower, there were three terrifying spiritual powers, they were three eighth-order star lifeforms invited by Xu Jingming and his group.

Mind powers collide!

The three psychic forces resisted together, but only for a fleeting moment before being completely overwhelmed by this tide of darkness.

"These three individuals possess extraordinary minds and would be valuable assets to my Crimson Lotus lineage, strengthening it considerably." A smile appeared on the gaunt old monk's face as he took measured steps forward, now less than a mile away from the Ycui Tower.
