Jiang Muxue quickly stepped in front of Su Luo, about to reveal her identity. However, the burly man attacked with a punch, giving him no chance to speak. He could only draw his sword and fight back.
Su Luo was already prepared. The Lunar Sword was unsheathed, flashing with snow-white light as she slashed at the approaching thugs. Her sharp sword energy was deadly, and in moments, she had killed three of them.
Seeing that Su Luo and her companion were skilled, Sun Yue'an did not hesitate and turned the ring in his hand.
*Bzzzz…*
An invisible fluctuation rippled through the air, and the entire private room was enveloped in a hazy spiritual glow.
Electricity like silver snakes crackled, constantly buzzing on the ceiling. The gamblers' faces changed drastically as streaks of white light descended, forming a cage that trapped Su Luo and Jiang Muxue.
"Not good!"
Jiang Muxue quickly rushed forward, but before he could reach the cage, he was forced back by the crackling electrical arcs.
"Damn it, Luoluo, this cage is made of electric light and is extremely powerful. We can't get out."
Sun Yue'an looked at Su Luo and her companion as if they were dead, a sinister grin spreading across his face. "How dare you cause trouble in my Ruyi Pavilion? None of you will escape. Surrender your lives obediently."
The surrounding people had already moved far away, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
Trapped by the white light cage, Su Luo remained unfazed. She merely glanced at Sun Yue'an, then raised her hand, sending streaks of spiritual light towards the ceiling.
The spiritual light pierced through the gaps, accurately striking the decorative silver flowers on the ceiling.
*Crack crack crack!*
The silver flowers exploded, scattering sparks. The white light cage vanished piece by piece, causing Sun Yue'an's face to contort. "Y-You know how to break the Extreme Electric Cage? Who exactly are you?"
"I'm your grandma!"
Su Luo's lips curled upward as she sneered, "Young Master Sun, Ruyi Pavilion has used all sorts of tricks over the years to scam many people, haven't you? Even several members of the royal family were fleeced when they came to play. Should I help Ruyi Pavilion spread the word?"
*I have to kill this woman!*
Sun Yue'an's heart turned cold as he took out a silver whistle and blew it.
Several dark figures appeared like ghosts, and the temperature in the room plummeted. Six expressionless figures in black clothes materialized.
"Kill them!"
As soon as the words left his mouth, the six expressionless men charged at Su Luo and Jiang Muxue.
*Who are these people?*
There was no trace of life in them, only an eerie chill.
Su Luo took a few more glances before realizing that these six were not living beings, but refined corpse puppets.
Their bodies were as hard as iron, and they felt no pain. They were made from the corpses of experts who had cultivated to the Venerable level or higher, refined through special methods. They obeyed their master's commands and would kill relentlessly.
What puzzled Su Luo was that such sinister items as corpse puppets could only be crafted in the Dark Demon Ridge.
How could Ruyi Pavilion possess them?
"Luoluo, be careful!" Seeing Su Luo dazed, Jiang Muxue, afraid of her getting hurt, pulled her behind him.
Just as he was about to make a move, a deafening roar echoed through the Ruyi Pavilion, and a large hole appeared in the ceiling.
Countless pieces of debris rained down, and a terrifying pressure descended from above.
The six corpse puppets froze in place, motionless. Everyone stared in shock at the hole in the ceiling, from which a man wearing a silver mask was slowly descending. His long hair flew in the wind, and an aura of killing intent emanated from him, turning the Ruyi Pavilion into an ice cellar.
A few gamblers who had collapsed on the ground tried to get up, but their limbs were weak. The Ruyi Pavilion's thugs were even colder, feeling as though the man had walked straight out of hell. Such a dense aura of bloodlust could only be accumulated by killing hundreds or thousands of people.
The masked man waved his hand casually, and the three corpse puppets closest to Su Luo were instantly reduced to fragments, scattering on the ground. Sun Yue'an and the Ruyi Pavilion thugs watched with pounding hearts, hastily retreating.
*Such formidable skills. Who is this distinguished guest?*
Su Luo looked at the appearance of the masked man, her initial joy turning into surprise. Only when he walked up to her did she let out a dry laugh, "Senior Brother, w-why are you here?"
She was happy that Li Tianjue had arrived, but his expression seemed very angry?
Seeing Su Luo unharmed, Li Tianjue finally felt relieved.
But his gaze then fell upon Jiang Muxue, who was protectively holding her like a treasure, his hand clasped tightly with hers. His voice turned cold again, "I warned you long ago not to cause trouble. You didn't listen, did you?"
If he hadn't followed them secretly, something unfortunate would have happened today.
Su Luo felt a little guilty and quickly said, "It's not my fault, Senior Brother. They wanted to renege on the debt!"
She pointed at Sun Yue'an, who was hiding in the corner, and continued, "I just won a hundred million spirit coins in Ruyi Pavilion. This young master not only refused to pay but also tried to kill us. Of course, I had to fight back. Was I supposed to wait for them to kill me?"
"A hundred million spirit coins?"
Li Tianjue hadn't expected her to win such a large sum so quickly. He paused for a moment, then walked up to a pale-faced Sun Yue'an. "Give it here."
"Ah?"
Li Tianjue's voice was as cold as ice. "The money she won, give it here."
Sun Yue'an was forced to retreat another step by the oppressive aura. As soon as he hesitated, Li Tianjue waved his hand, and silver snakes flashed in the air, crackling noisily. In an instant, the remaining three corpse puppets were torn to shreds.
Seeing the pieces of corpses scattered on the ground, Sun Yue'an was terrified out of his wits. He fell to his knees with a thud. "Your Excellency, spare me! I'll give it, I'll give it!"
He quickly removed the storage ring from his finger, took out a hundred million spirit coins, and handed them over with both hands. Li Tianjue took them and asked, "Where did you get these wicked corpse puppets?"
He immediately recognized that something was amiss. How could corpse puppets refined in the Dark Demon Ridge appear in Jade Void City?
Sun Yue'an didn't understand what he was talking about. Li Tianjue glanced at the corpse fragments on the ground. Only then did Sun Yue'an frantically say, "Your Excellency, I didn't know these were corpse puppets… I… I bought them in the black market. They were quite useful, and I wanted to buy a few more, but that person never showed up again."
"What did that person look like? How old was he?"
"He was an old man, looked dirty, unassuming, and wore a black robe."
Li Tianjue asked a few more questions until Sun Yue'an could answer no more. He then let it go.
"Senior Brother, don't let him off easily. Ruyi Pavilion cheats and scams people!"
Su Luo saw that a powerful ally had arrived, and she no longer had to exert herself. She stared at Sun Yue'an and said, "You scammed so many of us. Are you just going to let it go like this?"
Under Li Tianjue's threat, Sun Yue'an dared not resist and nodded like a pecking chicken. "Grand Aunt, I'll compensate you, I'll compensate you, alright?"
In the end, he handed over the storage ring he was wearing to Su Luo. She checked it and found that besides over ten million spirit coins, there were also various decent weapons, pills, and some small trinkets. She didn't have time to examine them closely and accepted it with satisfaction.
"Fine, this young lady will let you off this time. Ruyi Pavilion had better behave itself from now on, or else…"
"Yes, yes! I won't dare again."
As for the losses of the others, Su Luo naturally wouldn't meddle. She wasn't that kind-hearted.
As the three of them left, no one dared to stop them.
Finally outside Ruyi Pavilion, Su Luo happily held the storage ring, grinning like a blooming flower. "This is so great! I earned over a hundred million today. I'm so happy. But if I had known it would be this troublesome, Senior Brother, you should have come with us from the start."
"You still dare to talk?"
Li Tianjue looked at her coldly. "Su Luo, do you really think I'm here to clean up your messes?"
