"I don't think it's a pity. If it's really a powerful fairy weapon, even if it can't help me improve my cultivation, it's still something worth celebrating!" Zhou Bao directly put it into the Space of Segmented Realms and slowly narrowed his eyes. "Let's take our time with the fairy weapon. Now the most important thing is to figure out who wants me dead. Hehe, ten Level Eight experts and this sword formation. For a Level Seven expert, it's a fatal situation!"
Thinking of the injuries he had suffered in the sword formation, Zhou Bao gritted his teeth. Those who could dispatch so many Level Eight experts were definitely not ordinary people. To be honest, he still could not figure out who could be so powerful that they could dispatch 10 Level Eight experts and a Pure Yang Celestial Device all at once!
Even those millennium families couldn't have such strength, let alone the Three Great Sects or Kunlun Mountain.
Yes, Kunlun Mountain!
It was most likely Kunlun Mountain!
Ten Level Eight experts and a Pure Yang Celestial Device. Only a force like Tian Long Taoism and Kunlun Mountain could barely do that. But was it really Kunlun Mountain?
Zhou Bao was very doubtful. Kunlun Mountain didn't have a good relationship with him. Besides, he and Wang She had attacked them with a Pure Yang Celestial Device. But did they really have such strength?
Zhou Bao was deeply doubtful. Ten Level Eight experts!
If Kunlun Mountain really had such strong strength, they wouldn't have done nothing in the battle to destroy Northern Yuan. Then they wouldn't have been forced by Tian Long Taoism and Kunlun Master wouldn't dare to go to Kunlun Mountain.
Therefore, Zhou Bao was very doubtful!
What about the Three Great Sects of Jin?
Tian Long Taoism had no reason to deal with him. Neither did the Sect of Flame. As long as Prince Xiaoming was in the Sect of Flame, such things wouldn't happen. Then, it could only be Mingyi School. Since his debut, he and Mingyi School had not been on good terms. But did Mingyi School have the strength to dispatch such a force? Even if it did, based on his relationship with Mingyi School, it wouldn't make such a big deal to dispatch such a force to deal with him.
"Then, who on earth is it? Who thinks so highly of himself?! "Zhou Bao squinted his eyes and thought to himself.
"Boy, it's useless to think like this!" Green Spirit said coldly.
"That's right. It won't do me any good to fantasize without any evidence. I'd better go back and have a look!" Zhou Bao's heart skipped a beat. He turned into a golden streamer and went straight to Yunzhou.
A long while after he left, the ground not far from where he was standing suddenly bulged. Then, a bald head popped out. Judging from the face, it was a young man. The man looked at the direction where Zhou Bao had disappeared with a complicated expression. He smacked his lips twice.
"Zhou Bao, Yunzhou Zhou Bao, what a powerful guy! His cultivation and combat capability are definitely higher than Level Nine. That black flame is more powerful than any kind of Internal Qi I know. Perhaps it has reached the legendary Real Essence. Where did Zhou Bao come from? How could he have such powerful Internal Qi of such high quality? Even Leader the Venerable couldn't reach this level before he reached the Mysterious Realm. This news must be passed back to all the brothers and let them stop all actions against Zhou Bao. Otherwise, they will suffer a great loss!" The bald man's expression was uncertain. Finally, he made up his mind. He buried his head and disappeared into the soil, never to be heard again.
… …
… …
As Zhou Bao had expected, when he hurried back to the Zhou Mansion in Qingyang Market, the old man was still alive and kicking. Seeing Zhou Bao, Old Zhou was obviously very happy to see his son, who had not been around for a long time but had brought great benefits to his family. However, Zhou Bao had come and gone in a hurry, so he did not have time to catch up with Old Zhou. He only hurriedly asked about the old man's recent health and what had happened in the family. All the feedback was very normal. As for the messenger, after Zhou Bao's careful description, someone finally remembered that he was a distant relative of the Zhou Family. He came to seek refuge with the Zhou Family after the Zhou Family became rich. Looking at the man's family again, he was unknowingly gone. Zhou Bao was in a bad mood. He refused the family's invitation to stay and hurried back to his own territory.
It was obvious that this was a conspiracy against him, and the person who set it up was very cautious. Before he was sure that it was a success, he didn't even alarm a single person, and didn't even leave the slightest trace behind.
Now, the only clue was the guy who delivered the letter. He hurried back because he was afraid that the guy would be killed to keep the secret.
However, what made him discouraged was that although he hurried, when he arrived at his own territory, he was still faced with a corpse.
"This guy has not woken up since he fell into a coma. When the person who brought him dinner found him, his body was already stiff. But it's strange, it doesn't seem like he was poisoned!" Jiang Xiao's face was also a little ugly. He had originally thought that the man had suddenly died from exhaustion, but when he saw Zhou Bao return at dawn with a gloomy face, he knew that something was wrong. Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Bao returned, he wanted to see the dead man.
"Not poisoned? Then what is it? " Zhou Bao's eyes were gloomy, and a fierce killing intent emanated from his body, filling the whole room.
"It's an injury. He was hit by a kind of soft palm force, and his internal organs were all injured. But the person who did it controlled his own palm force, and the injury only broke out last night. It's hard to notice before the injury breaks out. Plus, when he came, he was already physically and mentally exhausted. The abnormality of his body completely covered the injury, so no one noticed it."
The person who spoke was Nan Haiping, one of the experts brought by Wang She from Tian Long Taoism. He was about 40 years old, with a long beard and an elegant face.
"Soft palm force!" Zhou Bao nodded at Nan Haiping and said no more. The man was dead, and the clue was broken. Of course, Zhou Bao was very unhappy. "Did anything unusual happen after I left?"
"No!" Jiang Xiao shook his head. He thought to himself, "You were only gone for half a day, not even a night. What could have happened?"
"You came back now, of course, nothing happened. If you came back one or two days later, maybe something would have happened!" Wang She's voice came from outside the hall.
"Chief!" Zhou Bao nodded slightly. "You know?"
"Look at you. You look so embarrassed. You must have been beaten by someone!" Wang She said.
"Then, in your opinion, who did this?"
"You've offended a lot of people since your debut, but the guy who dared to attack you so soon, I'm afraid he's not simple!" Wang She waved his cyan fan and glanced around. A strong pressure dispersed. The faces of the people around turned pale, including the experts he brought and Jiang Xiao. They all lowered their heads and left the hall. After a while, only Zhou Bao and Wang She were left in the hall.
"It's not simple. Of course, I know it's not simple. They set up such a killing trap to deal with me. If I hadn't entered the Azure Secret Area and gained some benefits, I might have been killed by them!"
"Oh, is it so serious?" Wang She raised his eyebrows slightly. "Who on earth dared to do such a thing?"
"Not one, but ten!" Zhou Bao shook his head and smiled bitterly. He told them in detail what he had encountered after he went out.
"What? Nine Level Eight experts, a Pure Yang Celestial Device in the shape of a red gourd, set up the Sumeru Formation of Nine Palaces, and a black-clothed man traveled through the hollow to assassinate you? "
Wang She's eyes widened. From Zhou Bao's appearance, he judged that Zhou Bao had been attacked, but he never thought it would be so dangerous.
When he heard Zhou Bao's description, Wang She's expression became very gloomy. In any case, Zhou Bao was under the protection of Tian Long Taoism. Tian Long Taoism had made it clear, and he, as the Chief of Tian Long Taoism, had shown his intention to protect Zhou Bao. Unexpectedly, someone set up such a big trap at this time to kill Zhou Bao. They simply didn't put Tian Long Taoism in their eyes.
"Don't worry, I'll investigate this matter. Although that guy is dead, there aren't many people who can set up such a killing trap. Coupled with the clues you mentioned, hmph, I don't believe that they can hide anywhere!"
"Of course they can't hide. Whoever did this to me, I won't let him go!" Zhou Bao clenched his fists and shouted fiercely.
Of course he wouldn't let him go. This trap was obviously to kill Zhou Bao on the spot. If Zhou Bao hadn't improved his strength recently and his combat capability had completely surpassed Level Nine, he would have been a corpse now. Even if he wasn't a corpse, he would have been seriously injured and chased by others.
Zhou Bao couldn't swallow this anger no matter what.
"Actually, it's not difficult to speculate. In the world, there are not many influences with such strength. We can eliminate them one by one!" Wang She smiled sinisterly.
"You seem to have thought of something?" Zhou Bao's expression changed and he glanced at Wang She.
"I didn't have a clue at first. But after thinking about it carefully, I have found some clues!" Wang She laughed and a strange smile flashed across his face. "It seems that someone really can't bear it anymore. Hehe, nine Level Eight experts and one Dark Hall Executive. Even if they were used to deal with me before I reached Level Nine, it would still be a crushing force. Either they don't do it, or they go all out. They absolutely won't give the opponent any chance. This is the way of the Yan Family's Big Brother!"
"The Yan Family's Big Brother?" Zhou Bao was stunned for a moment. Then his eyes lit up and he said, "You mean the Jin Emperor?"
"Yes, it's him. It seems that he has already felt that you will become a great threat to him, so he is ready to kill you before you fully grow up. But he didn't expect that your strength has already grown to such a level. He went for wool and came home shorn!"
"Are you sure it's him?" Zhou Bao's face fell completely.
"Basically, I'm sure!" Wang She thought for a while and said, "Only the Yan Family of the Jin Imperial Family can mobilize such a great force and have the motive to deal with you. I don't know about the nine Level Eight experts, but I have vaguely heard about the black-clothed assassin with a cultivation of Level Eight. It seems that there is such a group of people in the Jin Imperial Family, called the Dark Hall. This Dark Hall contributed a lot to the establishment of the Jin. After the establishment of the country, it has been in the shadow, helping the Imperial Family to do some shameful things!"
"Why does he want to deal with me?"
"As I said, the Jin Emperor has already regarded you as a threat. To deal with a person who may threaten him, he will never be soft-hearted, nor will he be stingy with his strength. There is only one purpose for him to send such a great force, which is to be safe!"
"I didn't expect this guy to think so highly of me!"
Zhou Bao said with a wry smile.
"It's a pity that in the end, he still doesn't look down on you. He has underestimated you!"
"Humph, if it weren't for my good luck this time and the breakthrough in the Azure Secret Area, I might have been killed by him this time!" Zhou Bao said bitterly.
"Alright, don't think too much about it. Although he's the most powerful person in the world now, your strength and cultivation have already reached such a level. There's no need to be afraid of him at all. Moreover, after this failure, you've displayed a strength that's completely beyond his expectations. He can no longer measure the bottom line of your strength. Based on his personality, he'll focus on appeasing you. Perhaps, he'll even give you some benefits!"
"Benefits? Humph, I will care about his benefits. I will definitely repay him for the kindness he has given me! "
"It's not a good plan to fight openly. Even if you are strong now, it's unwise to confront the whole imperial family of the Jin. If I'm right, now the Jin Emperor and some powerful influences are playing a big game of chess. Originally, you were not even a chess piece on this chessboard, but your sudden rise makes people feel that you have value as a chess piece. However, before they decide where to place you, your actions have already shown signs of getting out of their control. Therefore, he wants to wipe you off this chessboard. Now he can't do that. In order to prevent you from messing up this game of chess, he will find a way to stabilize you!"
"How to stabilize me?"
"I'll give you some benefits. I don't expect you to be used by them, but I still hope you won't make trouble!"
"What if I insist on making trouble?"
"Then you can hide in the dark and give them a blow at the most critical time, so that they will never be able to rise again. In this way, there may be unexpected benefits!"
"Unexpected benefits?"
"Your eyes, the Fiery Eyes, the Taboo Eyes. Kid, don't think that you don't have to worry about it now that your strength has reached this level. I can assure you that as long as you reveal your strength on the first day, you will be chased by at least 70% of the experts whose cultivation is above Level Nine in the world on the second day!"
"Is it that serious?" Zhou Bao was shocked. The power of the Fiery Eyes was far beyond his imagination. Therefore, the stronger he was, the more curious he was about his magical eyes. The more he felt this powerful power, the more he was afraid of the power that completely destroyed the people with the bloodline of the Fiery Eyes.
The bloodline of the Fiery Eyes was so powerful. Wouldn't the power that could exterminate a whole tribe be even more powerful?
Therefore, as his strength grew, the ability of his Fiery Eyes was hidden more and more deeply. It was not used at all, and no one would know that he had such a magical bloodline, except for Wang She.
Now that Wang She mentioned the past again in a somewhat serious tone, Zhou Bao had to pay attention to it.
"How much do you know about the Fiery Eyes?"
"I don't know much. I just know that this power of yours is very feared by the orthodox power!"
"Orthodox power?" Zhou Bao was slightly stunned. "What orthodox power?"
"The imperial power is only one of them. There are other powers hidden behind the imperial family. The Mingyi School is one of them. It seems to be a powerful influence on the surface, but this power has been ruling the whole world for the past 50,000 years, both in the open and in the dark. Its size is beyond your imagination. This power seems to be a little scattered, but once it is united, the power it can burst out is, as far as I know, the only power in the world that can compete with it is the Immortal Palace. However, it seems that the Immortal Palace has been avoiding this power and trying not to have anything to do with it. That's why it exists in a semi-hidden state!"
"Even the Immortal Palace has to avoid it?" Zhou Bao was shocked.
