In a few seconds, more than 20 guards fell. The others stopped moving when they saw this.
“We’re in big trouble.” A young noble’s expression changed slightly.
There was also a middle-aged man with extraordinary bearing sitting in a private room. His expression darkened, and his eyes were filled with anger.
An elder sat beside him, and the elder shook his head gently. “Second Master, bear with it. These people aren’t to be trifled with.”
“Sect Master Yu, there’s nothing you can do?” the middle-aged man asked softly.
“I can sense terrifying mental strength. Several people in this team aren’t inferior to me.” The elder shook his head. “Moreover, there are too many first-rate experts.”
Although he was a super expert, he was only carrying a dagger with him. This group of people in front of him had shields, axes, spears, and other weapons… He would be courting death if he charged forward.
“Seal the doors and guard the passes.” Xu Jingming swept his gaze around and shouted coldly, “Anyone who dares to move in Emerald Pavilion will be killed without mercy!”
All the guests in Emerald Pavilion couldn’t help but panic. They had already witnessed the strength of this group of ferocious people! The corpses on the ground proved everything.
“Die!”

“Kill them!” A large number of black-shirted guards and cyan-shirted guards rushed in from outside Emerald Pavilion while Xu Jingming watched all of this coldly. The first-rate experts under his command were divided into three teams that guarded the three main passes.
Bam! Bam! Bam!
The Emerald Pavilion guards rushed in anxiously, but the entrance was only that wide! Only seven or eight of them could rush in at the same time, but there were a total of 20 first-rate experts guarding the entrance.
Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!
The guards who rushed in were culled like grain. They fell one after another, scaring the remaining Emerald Pavilion guards so much that they stopped their charge.
At the same time, the doors were sealed shut!
The guards outside panicked when they saw this. “These people are definitely first-rate experts. They’re too strong.”
“Whoever enters will die. There’s no way to fight.” The guards felt a chill in their hearts.
Another guard said, “The entrance is only so wide; only seven or eight of us can enter at the same time. There are too few people who can enter! Why don’t we smash the wall and rush in?”
“Are you crazy?! Topple the walls? How much money did it cost to build Emerald Pavilion? Can you afford to pay for Emerald Pavilion’s destruction?”
“The worst that can happen is the loss of some cash. The destruction of Emerald Pavilion will be a huge loss.”
“There are many VIPs inside. Losing some money is a small matter, but we have to ensure the safety of the guests.”
“Those people probably won’t dare to harm our guests. Our guests at Emerald Pavilion are all high-ranking officials and nobles from all over the capital… If they touch them, they will be making themselves enemies with all the factions in the capital.”
The guards argued, but they didn’t dare to barge in anymore. Too many people had died in a short period of time!
The 700-strong guard team had been reduced to nearly 200 people in the blink of an eye! Most importantly… The other party was too elite, and none of them had died in battle. They were very sure that the other party consisted of first-rate experts, so they were naturally terrified and didn’t want to charge forward.
On the other hand, the cost of building Emerald Pavilion was indeed astonishing. It was six stories high, and it was built like a palace or immortal abode. Its beautiful architecture was famous in the capital.
If they shattered too many walls on the ground floor and caused the entire Emerald Pavilion to collapse, they wouldn’t be able to afford the price.
“Get in there! My master is still inside.”
“My lord is still inside. Hurry.”
“Quickly carry out the rescue. Are you acting dead?”
The officials and nobles’ subordinates were originally waiting outside leisurely, prepared to protect their masters when they returned after enjoying themselves. Who would’ve thought that such a thing would happen?
All of them reeled in anxiety.
******
Lanterns hung high, and dozens of corpses lay in the beautiful Emerald Pavilion. Blood gurgled as it dyed the wooden planks red.
Xu Jingming stood there with three Lv. 8 cosmic lifeforms beside him, as well as a large number of second-rate experts. He swept his gaze across the officials and nobles in Emerald Pavilion and saw Pang Ze among them.
Pang Ze also wore a nervous look.
“I’ll have to trouble the two of you to lead a search of Emerald Pavilion,” Xu Jingming said to the Lv. 8 experts beside him.
Immediately, two of them nodded. This was also part of the plan. The range of these two Lv. 8 experts’ telepathy was large enough, so nothing in Emerald Pavilion could escape their search.
The two immediately led 50 second-rate experts to search for treasures.
Xu Jingming stood still and said loudly, “Second Master of the Shengong family, Eldest Young Master of the Chang family, Commander Liu of King Qi’s residence, Lord Wang of the Ministry of Rites, and Third Young Master of the Duke’s Estate.”
Xu Jingming spoke casually, causing the expressions of those people to change.
Since they were planning a heist against Emerald Pavilion, they had naturally gathered information on all the figures in the capital in advance. With the memory of cosmic lifeforms, they remembered everyone’s faces and information.
“There are many important figures here, and I know all of them,” Xu Jingming said with a smile. “If your guards dare to attack Emerald Pavilion, I shall take your lives first. If you cooperate obediently, I naturally won’t kill you. I’m only here for the money and won’t kill anyone.”
There were indeed many big shots present, and they could indeed mobilize a lot of power outside with a flick of the finger. But here in Emerald Pavilion, their lives were in the hands of these terrorists. They were naturally in a bad mood, but they had to endure it.
“Uncle Fu, don’t let anyone in. If my men enter, I’ll die,” the eldest son of the Chang family shouted. “I’ll be fine if you don’t come in. These experts follow the rules well.”
“Thank you, Young Master Chang.” Xu Jingming smiled.
“You’re welcome. It’s only right.” Young Master Chang smiled obsequiously.
Xu Jingming smiled and nodded. “Bravo Team, go. Take all the money and valuables from the guests. This money is nothing to them.”

Young Master Chang’s expression froze, and he could only try his best to maintain his smile. Many of the other guests revealed looks of shock and anger. How dare they!? They actually dare to rob every one of us!
“Yes!” Tu Ling led 50 second-rate experts forward and began a full-body search!
