Chapter 1263: The Advancing Pumiyuzuki

Chapter 1263: Pu Jianyue's Assault

Three minutes ago.

Southern Sea Domain, Caobang.

"Hey, have you heard?"

"Lord Nanhai has ordered a thorough investigation of the Pu family. Those people from the Pu family are being interrogated in shifts now... It's like their house is being raided."

"Hahaha, who would have thought, the Pu family would have a day like this."

"Not long ago, we had to put up with a lot from them. It really pained me to see those properties ceded... Especially that toy factory; I'd managed that brand for years and poured who knows how much money into establishing it."

"Now that the Pu family is in trouble, they probably won't have time to compete with us. We can send people to seize the opportunity and take all those properties back."

"Yes, I was thinking the same thing."

Just as the Caobang members were reveling in their schadenfreude, an earth-shattering crash suddenly echoed from above!

BANG—!!!

The Caobang's ceiling shattered, and a large amount of debris and dust rained down, choking the speakers and making them cough repeatedly.

"Damn it! Who is it?!"

"What's happening? Have we been attacked??"

Caobang had been established in the Southern Sea Domain for years. Although far from being a behemoth like the Pu family, their strength was by no means negligible. At this moment, with their base breached and a large hole torn open, they couldn't react immediately because they simply couldn't imagine anyone daring to attack Caobang.

"Who?! Who has such audacity!!!"

Several figures stood up simultaneously, their eyes fixed on the ceiling with the gaping hole.

Under the dim daylight, a figure in a large red opera robe slowly descended through the swirling dust, like a ghost... With a flick of his sleeve, a flurry of playing cards flew out, fluttering in the air like dancing butterflies.

Seeing this, all the Caobang members were momentarily stunned...

One of them tentatively reached out, picked up a fallen playing card, and after seeing the card face, his complexion instantly turned ashen!!

"He... Hearts... Six of Hearts?!!!"

The moment these words were uttered, it was as if a clap of thunder had exploded in the ears of the Caobang members!!

Six of Hearts?!! Chen Ling?!!!

He's the Cataclysm of Destruction?!!!

Under everyone's stunned, even terrified, gaze, Pu Jianyue landed on the ground. His eyes were cold, his posture proud, and his grim face exuded unparalleled confidence.

He smoothed his sleeve and spoke indifferently:

"What's wrong..."

"Do you all recognize me?"

The entire Caobang felt as if they had fallen into an ice cellar!

It wasn't that Caobang lacked experts; two or three Seventh-Tier figures stood in the rubble, staring intently at the figure in the large red opera robe... But now, no one dared to take a single step forward.

What kind of joke is this?

That was the mastermind behind the consecutive destruction of several domains, the Cataclysm of Destruction from the Abyssal Mockery of Ghosts!!

They were just a small, moderately powerful organization in the Southern Sea Domain... How could they possibly fight against the Cataclysm of Destruction? If he got upset, he could unleash his true form, and the entire Southern Sea Domain would be utterly finished!

When the council member was reportedly killed, some had said the Cataclysm might be in the Southern Sea Domain. At the time, they hadn't quite believed it...

But now, everything seemed to confirm it.

"He... Six of Hearts." A Seventh-Tier figure swallowed hard. "Is there some misunderstanding... We're just a small gang in the Southern Sea Domain, and we've never provoked you... What... what are you... what are you doing here?"

At this moment, the Caobang members racked their brains but couldn't figure out how they had provoked this individual. It was like coming home from school to find your father holding a belt, staring at you coldly; even though he said nothing, you'd be so nervous you'd want to reflect on every bad thing you'd ever done in your life.

"Never provoked me?" Pu Jianyue sneered,

"How about..."

"You think a little harder?"

Seeing "Chen Ling" sneer, a chill shot up from everyone's feet to the top of their heads, and their bodies tensed up!

Oh no,

Had they really offended him somehow?

But... but lately, besides competing with the Pu family for territory and destroying a few assets, they hadn't done anything else... Could they have offended him during this process? It didn't seem right...

Pu Jianyue, of course, was just bluffing.

His superior, Senior Club Queen, had told him that his mission was to create a disturbance in Caobang to draw out the Silver King, who was suspected to be hiding nearby... But since he was here, he naturally couldn't state directly that he was after the Silver King; that would be tipping off the enemy. He could only come up with a random excuse.

While stalling for time with Caobang, he continuously scanned his surroundings with his peripheral vision, guarding against a sudden attack from the Silver King.

"Six of Hearts... if we've offended you, please tell us directly." A Seventh-Tier figure couldn't help but speak up.

"You killed someone you shouldn't have."

Pu Jianyue replied cryptically, "Daring to kill a junior from our Twilight Society... you will pay the price."

The Caobang members gasped.

"You dared to kill someone from the Twilight Society? Are you out of your minds?!" A Seventh-Tier figure suddenly turned to his deputy leader, hissing through clenched teeth.

"I... we didn't..." The deputy leader was dumbfounded. "We only killed a few workers and Pu family lackeys recently while taking over those factories and territories... Could it be that... a junior from the Twilight Society was disguised among them??"

"Scum!!!"

The Seventh-Tier figure was furious. "Bring the people who took over those territories to me, now!!"

"Leader, it's them... it's them!!"

The deputy leader unhesitatingly pointed to a few young, foolish-looking individuals sitting in the corner.

The faces of those pointed out immediately went pale. They were only Third or Fourth-Tier, and the leader's murderous intent, almost palpable, washed over them, making their legs tremble with fright...

Just as the leader was about to take action and 'clean house,' Pu Jianyue moved first.

His figure instantly vanished from sight, reappearing behind the foolish youths. Before they could even shake off the leader's oppressive aura and turn around, several long, ink-black blades pierced through their chests from behind!

Since Pu Jianyue intended to lure out the Silver King, he naturally had to make the performance convincing. To him, what was killing a few people?

Scarlet blood splattered across the scene, spreading into a crimson pool on the Caobang's floor... Watching their own gang members being slaughtered, the others showed no intention of resisting. Instead, they frantically retreated, as if fleeing from a plague god.

"Six of Hearts, I had no knowledge of the death of your Twilight Society junior, nor did Caobang... If we had known earlier that your Twilight Society was involved, we absolutely would not have interfered." The Seventh-Tier figure's tone was extremely humble. "Now we've helped you identify the culprits, and you've killed them..."

"Please be merciful and spare Caobang a path to survival?"
