Chapter 4: Newcomers to the Universe Chapter 45: Capture of Yicui Tower
The next afternoon, figures appeared in a forest outside the southern part of the imperial capital. This was the location where everyone had agreed to go online.
"Everyone is here."
Liu Hai looked at the crowd in front of him and nodded, "Here are the cold weapons that everyone has reserved! The weapons are ranked from 1 to 163. As for the close-fitting inner armor, you can choose it after entering the city!"
The 163 space citizen masters stepped forward, took their weapons according to their numbers, and quickly armed themselves.
Knives, swords, guns, spears, axes, hidden weapons, throwing weapons, shields, etc., a total of only two or three hundred weapons. In the era when bandit gangs were rampant, wealthy merchants with a little property would hire guards , so such a small number of weapons was not worth mentioning and was too easy to buy.
"good."
These citizens of the universe examined the weapons. They all had ordinary bodies now, and in terms of strength and speed, they were not much different from the top masters. These weapons could also withstand the fights of the top masters.
"Don't worry, every weapon has been tested." Liu Hai said. These were specially selected by Xu Jingming. Having been a Blood Rain Guard in the imperial capital for so long, he has become a local boss and knows very well where to buy some fine weapons.
"Let's go now." After seeing everyone put on their weapons, Liu Hai immediately led everyone out of the woods.
First, we walked along the official road from the woods, and then walked along the official road for more than ten miles before arriving at the south gate of the imperial capital.
There is a huge flow of people entering and leaving the imperial capital every day, and almost everyone who enters and leaves carries a weapon.
Liu Hai and his group were all wearing ordinary cloth clothes that were distributed when they first entered the city, and they all walked on their own two legs! They were inconspicuous in the crowd. After paying the entrance fee, Liu Hai led them all the way forward.
"What a huge imperial capital."
"We've been walking for half an hour." After entering the city, these people also felt the size of the imperial capital.
Liu Hai, Tu Ling and their team finally arrived at a chaotic area. The surrounding buildings were dilapidated and gang members could be seen everywhere, with three or five of them roaming the streets.
However, facing a team of more than one hundred people armed with weapons, these gang members watched from afar and did not dare to provoke them easily.
After turning left and right, we finally arrived at a somewhat dilapidated mansion.
"We're here." Liu Hai pushed open the door.
Xu Jingming and Pang Ze were sitting in the corridor chatting, and when they saw the door open, they both stood up to greet it.
More than a hundred people entered the mansion and the door was closed.
"I've prepared some good wine and food for everyone." Xu Jingming wore a human skin mask and looked no different from a normal person, except that his expression was a little stiff. He stood up and said, "Everyone eat and rest first. We will take action in the evening."
All the fine wine, food and inner armor were ready, and all preparations for the operation were very thorough.
…
Night falls.
Pang Ze, dressed in white, came to Yicui Tower, fanning himself and smiling.
"Master, you are here again!" A servant immediately greeted him warmly. As one of the top three places for fireworks and entertainment in the imperial capital, Yicuilou has a very high consumption threshold. Even a cup of tea there costs five taels of silver!
You have to know that the income of a second-rate master is generally difficult to exceed 20 taels of silver a month! This shows how scary the consumption here is!
Therefore, those who can come to a place like Yicuilou must be either rich or noble!
Yicuilou also values repeat customers. Now Pangze has become an "old customer".
"This is Yicui Tower. The famous prostitutes inside are all stunning beauties. If you can spend a night of ecstasy there in this life, it would be worth dying for." On the street in the distance, young gang members were watching from afar with envy.
"A cup of tea costs five taels of silver. A night of ecstasy? At least one hundred taels of silver! That's enough for me to visit brothels for a lifetime. Only a fool would go in there."
"Can the brothel be compared with Yicui Tower? Do you think those big shots who went in there are all fools?"
The young people were arguing, but they also looked on with envy as the dignitaries came in one after another.
This place is a veritable den of money! Even if they are the leader of their gang, they have to grit their teeth before they are willing to go in once!
"Humans' reproductive instinct means that there is a desire for the opposite sex in their genes. Once this desire is aroused, many people are willing to pay for it. They are even willing to give up all their property." Pang Ze drank and watched the performance on the waterscape platform in the distance.
These beauties exude a hazy beauty, a seductive beauty, and even have an invisible spiritual influence that affects people's desires.
"The famous prostitutes in Yicui Tower are also extraordinary. Some of them are good at the art of spiritual seduction." Pang Ze looked at them and exclaimed, "Even if their looks are 90 points, once the customer is influenced by the spiritual seduction, in the eyes of the customer, they will be more than 100 points, the most perfect dream lover."
“Even high-ranking officials are obsessed with it. Most of the money they get from corruption and business is poured into this den of vengeance.” Pang Ze saw a rich young man in the distance, so he took out a silver note without a code and selected a famous prostitute who was performing dance.
"And today..."
"All the consumption here, all the circulating gold, silver, jewelry and silver notes." Pang Ze looked at it with a smile, "Brother Jingming and I will accept it with pleasure!"
…
"Did you see that?"
After having a good rest and having a good meal, the group of people, led by Xu Jingming, Liu Hai and Tu Ling, came to a river bank. Looking into the distance, Xu Jingming pointed at the dazzling and majestic building "Yicui Building" with lanterns hanging high in the distance, "That's the building. That's our target."
Everyone behind him was staring at it. Yicui Tower was a well-known building in the imperial capital. It was majestic and beautiful like a fairyland.
"Come with me."
Xu Jingming had already collected enough detailed information and was very familiar with the surrounding environment. He led people along the alley, turning left and right, and in just about five minutes, they arrived nearby.
"We will jump over the wall in front of us, rush through this restaurant, and charge into Yicui Tower in front of us." Xu Jingming said, "We must control the robbery of Yicui Tower within ten minutes this time."
Within ten minutes, only one or two teams of Blood Rain Guards arrived, and the threat was insignificant.
But as time goes on, the number of Blood Rain Guards rushing over will increase exponentially! Because support comes from all directions!
"action!"
Xu Jingming gave an order and led the crowd out. Beside him were three eighth-level star life forms, who were also the sharpest arrows of the entire team! Following behind were sixty first-rate masters, and Liu Hai and Tu Ling were at the end with a hundred second-rate masters.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh!!!!!!!!!
This restaurant next to Yicui Tower also occupies a large area and has a booming business.
But when a large number of ghostly figures streaked across the sky, flashed a few times, rushed out of the restaurant and headed straight for Yicui Tower, the guests and guards of the restaurant were so frightened that they dared not intervene.
"These fierce men broke into Yicui Tower."
"In the imperial capital, someone actually dared to attack Yicui Tower?"
The people in the restaurant couldn't believe it.
"There are enemies!"
There are black-clad guards on all sides of Yicui Tower, and there are hidden traps on the edges. The entire imperial capital knows that Yicui Tower is the most dangerous and the safest place.
The most dangerous thing is to target the enemy! If the enemy dares to attack Yicui Tower, it will be his death.
The safest thing is for the guests! Yicuilou will ensure the safety of the guests at all costs.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!!!”
The three eighth-level masters around Xu Jingming quickly released hidden weapons, destroying the key points of the mechanisms and traps in front of them, rendering them useless.
An eighth-level master has extremely terrifying mental power, which can spread out to a radius of at least one thousand meters. Naturally, it can cover the range of Yicui Building and know all the mechanisms and traps of Yicui Building.
"This is an eighth-rank master, with terrifying spiritual power." Xu Jingming thought, "But compared to Dean Ming of the Martial Academy, Dean Ming's spiritual power does not feel oppressive, but embraces everyone like an ocean, making it impossible for people to resist. And the range is also ridiculously large, covering the entire 20-mile area of the Martial Academy. This is Dean Ming's casual spiritual power in daily life, not intentional spread ."
Thinking in his heart, he, as the leader, did not take any action, but the three eighth-level masters around him led many first-class masters to charge out.
“Yo——”
An arrow shot up into the sky.
"Stop them." The surrounding black-clad guards rushed over, and the green-clad guards who were nearby also rushed over, but they all felt something was wrong, because there were mechanical traps in many places on the edge of Yicui Tower, and this group of enemies rushed over easily without triggering any mechanical traps.
“Puff.”
"Tear."
Blood was splattered as the masters of Xu Jingming's side slaughtered the group of black-clothed and blue-clothed guards.
The guards of Yicui Tower are very elite, with a total of about 700 people, mainly second-rate masters, and the core backbones are all first-rate masters. Such a force is elite enough.
Moreover, Yicuilou's daily income would be transferred and deposited in a money house. Yicuilou did not have much cash in cash. Logically speaking, in terms of robbery, the cost-effectiveness was not very high.
"What?"
"Why are these enemies so strong?"
"Are they all first-rate masters?" The second-rate masters guarding Yicui Tower felt desperate. It was a complete crushing! The entire formation collapsed instantly, and as the formation collapsed, they were strangled one by one!
The leading Yicuilou master was also in despair and disbelief: "Super first-class master?"
The top masters were instantly overwhelmed!
The first people to come to Yicuilou were five first-rate masters leading about a hundred second-rate masters.
What was the result when they charged at three super first-rate masters and sixty-one first-rate masters? In ten breaths of time, only three of them retreated early and escaped with their lives, while the others were all killed, and blood flowed all over the ground.
"These are top-notch masters, and their actual combat bonus is at least 30 times." Xu Jingming has witnessed the strength of these three big guys, and no one can stop them from moving forward.
If it is a one-on-one fight, an eighth-level starry sky creature would need several moves to deal with the top-notch masters led by Yicui Tower.
But this is not a one-on-one fight! This is a large-scale fight! Xu Jingming's side is too elite!
The level of their elite forces was enough to rival those of the masters in the imperial palace, so naturally they had a devastating and one-sided killing effect.
The guards in the Yicui Tower area were killed in less than ten breaths. Only three of them escaped, the rest were all killed!
More than a hundred figures including Xu Jingming rushed into Yicui Tower like ghosts.
“Ahhh.”
"This is?"
"Something big has happened!"
The people in Yicui Tower, whether they were dignitaries, famous prostitutes, guards, or servants, were all stunned. They watched a large group of people rush into the three main buildings of Yicui Tower.
The three main buildings are connected by a suspended corridor, under which there is a waterscape stage for performances.
"Puchi, Puchi!!!" Xu Jingming and many other masters rushed in, and there were also blue-clothed guards and secret guards who attacked, but what greeted them was a brutal massacre! The ones rushing in the front on Xu Jingming's side were all top-notch masters and first-class masters. With their cooperation, who could stop them?
Within a few breaths, more than twenty guards fell down, and the others dared not move anymore.
"This is a big trouble." A young nobleman's face changed slightly.
There was also a middle-aged man with an extraordinary demeanor sitting in the private room. His face darkened and there was anger in his eyes. An old man sat next to him. The old man shook his head gently: "Second Master, be patient. These people are not easy to mess with."
" Master Yu, there's nothing you can do?" the middle-aged man said softly.
"I can sense the terrifying power of the mind. There are several people in this team who are as strong as me." The old man shook his head, "And there are a lot of first-rate masters."
Although he was a top-notch expert, he only carried a dagger with him. And the group of fierce men in front of him were armed with shields, axes, spears and other weapons... If he rushed forward, he would be courting death.
"Close the gate and guard the pass." Xu Jingming looked around and shouted coldly, "Anyone who dares to move in Yicui Tower will be killed without mercy, no matter who it is!"
All the guests in Yicui Tower couldn't help but feel nervous.
They have already seen the strength of this group of fierce men! The corpses on the ground prove everything.
"kill!"
“Kill them!”
Outside Yicui Tower, a large number of black-clothed and green-clothed guards were rushing in, but Xu Jingming watched all this indifferently. His top-notch masters were divided into three teams, guarding three main checkpoints respectively.
"Bang, bang, bang."
The guards of Yicui Tower rushed in anxiously, but the entrance was so wide! There were only seven or eight of them rushing in at the same time, while one pass was guarded by twenty first-class masters.
"Puchi, Puchi——" The guards who rushed in were slaughtered like rice being harvested. They fell down in batches. The remaining guards of Yicui Tower were so scared that they dared not to rush in again.
At the same time, all the doors were closed!
The guards outside panicked when they saw this.
"These vicious people must be top-notch masters. They are too strong."
"As many as go in, they will die. There's no way to fight." The guards also felt a chill in their hearts.
Another guard said, "The gate is so wide that we can only let seven or eight people in at the same time. That's too few people! How about we kick the wall and rush in?"
"Are you crazy? You're going to break it? How much money was spent on building Yicui Tower? If Yicui Tower collapses, can you afford the compensation?"
"At worst, some cash and silver will be stolen, but if Yicui Tower is destroyed, that would be a huge loss."
"There are many distinguished guests inside. Losing some money is a small matter. We must ensure the safety of the distinguished guests."
"Those vicious people shouldn't dare to harm our distinguished guests. Our guests at Yicui Tower are all high-ranking officials from all over the imperial capital... If they dare to attack them, they will be enemies with all the forces in the imperial capital."
The guards debated, but none of them dared to go in any further. Too many people died in such a short time!
There were only about 700 guards, but nearly 200 of them died in the blink of an eye! The most important thing is... the other side is too elite, and no one on the other side died in battle. They are very sure that the other side is a first-class master! Naturally, they are terrified and unwilling to rush forward.
On the other hand, the cost of building Yicui Tower is indeed astonishing. It has six floors and is extremely high. It is built like a palace or fairyland. It is magnificent and is a famous building in the imperial capital.
If they kick down too many walls on the ground floor, causing the collapse of the entire Yicui Building, the guards will not be able to afford the cost.
"Go in quickly. My master is still inside."
"My master is still in there, hurry up."
"Hurry up and save them, are you pretending to be dead?"
The subordinates of the nobles were originally waiting outside leisurely, waiting for their masters to enjoy themselves and then protecting them back home. Who would have thought that something like this would happen? They were all anxious.
…
Lanterns were hung high, and inside the beautiful Yicui Building, dozens of corpses lay lying, with blood gushing out and staining the wooden boards red.
Xu Jingming stood there, surrounded by three eighth-level star creatures, as well as a large number of second-rate masters who were just "making up the numbers". He glanced at the dignitaries in Yicui Tower and saw Pang Ze mixed in among them. Pang Ze also looked nervous.
"Please take people to search Yicui Tower." Xu Jingming said to the eighth-level masters beside him, and two of them nodded immediately. This was already in the plan. The two eighth-level masters had a wide range of spiritual awareness, and there was no place in Yicui Tower that could escape their search.
Immediately, the two of them led fifty second-rate masters to search for gold, silver, treasures and other items.
Xu Jingming stood where he was and said in a loud voice: "The second master of Lord Shen's family, the eldest son of the Chang family, Commander Liu of Prince Qi's Mansion, Lord Wang from the Ministry of Rites, and the third son of the Duke of Guo's Mansion." Xu Jingming spoke casually, but made those people's faces change.
Since they were planning to take action against Yicui Tower, they would naturally collect intelligence on all the people of some status in the imperial capital in advance. With the memory of the starry sky life, they would remember everyone's appearance and information in their minds.
"There are many important people here, and I know them all." Xu Jingming said with a smile, "If your guards dare to attack Yicui Tower, I will have to take your lives first. If you cooperate obediently, I will naturally not kill you. I am a person... I only want money, not killing people."
There were indeed many important figures present. If they just moved their fingers outside, they could mobilize a lot of power. But now inside Yicui Tower, their lives and deaths were controlled by this group of vicious people. They were naturally in a bad mood, but they had to endure it.
"Uncle Fu, don't let anyone in. If my people come in, I will die." The eldest son of the Chang family shouted loudly, "If you don't come in, I will be safe. These masters are very disciplined."
"Mr. Chang, thank you." Xu Jingming smiled slightly.
"You're welcome. It's my duty, my duty." Young Master Chang said with a smile.
Xu Jingming smiled and nodded: "Team Two, go ahead and search all the guests for their money and treasures. These treasures are nothing to them."
Young Master Chang's face froze, and he could only try to keep smiling. Many of the other guests showed expressions of shock and anger. How dare they rob each of them!
"yes!"
Tu Ling led fifty second-rate masters forward and began to search them one by one!
