In this world, it was not necessary to have great strength to make people afraid. Sometimes, a strange relationship could also make people afraid. For example, the relationship between a son-in-law and his mother-in-law. As the saying goes, the more the mother-in-law looks at the son-in-law, the more she likes him. However, only the son-in-law knows how the son-in-law looks at his mother-in-law.
For example, now, Zhou Bao was sitting in front of his dying mother-in-law, listening to her murmuring intermittently. It was a kind of torture. Zhou Bao sat up straight and felt that he had become a primary school student in his previous life. He did not dare to move at all. What was worse was that his hand was still held by Luo Xuehuan.
He felt that his body was almost stiff and cold sweat kept coming out. He tried hard to relax his expression, but his nose, eyes, and facial muscles were still squeezed together. He did not hear what Luo Xuehuan said at all until his hand, which was holding him, slowly became cold and stiff. He heard Yan Yunfei's cries, and an extremely sad Qi Power emanated from Yan Yuntian's body and enveloped the whole bedchamber.
Once again, the bedchamber fell into a state of silence.
Luo Xuehuan had been dead for almost a quarter of an hour. The death of human beings was different from that of experts. Generally speaking, experts had a strong body and relatively strong spirit, which made it more difficult for them to die. However, the spirit and body of ordinary people were very fragile, but they were closely connected. When the body was hurt, the spirit would also be hurt. Therefore, when ordinary people died, their spirit and consciousness would disappear along with their body. Occasionally, some strong-willed people's spirit and consciousness would stay around their body for a while after death.
However, Luo Xuehuan had been tortured by illness for such a long time that she wanted to die. When she died, her spirit also dissipated, and she became a complete corpse. However, after 10 minutes, a faint mist gushed out of the forehead of this corpse. This mist could not be seen by ordinary people's eyes, but Zhou Bao had Fiery Eyes, which had a strong deterrent effect on spirit. At the same time, he knew that the Nine Changes of Heavenly Birds, the Turtledove's Claw of Heavenly Birds was also the nemesis of spirit and divine thoughts. Therefore, he was very sensitive to spirit energy. Therefore, when he saw the white mist emitting a faint and strange spirit, he knew that things were not as simple as he thought. The Queen Luo Xuehuan did not die of illness, but was cursed.
Curse!
This was a very strange spell technique!
Even the biggest sects in the world did not know about it. Only the wizards of some ancient tribes hidden deep in the mountains and forests knew this kind of unorthodox technique.
But now, he found it in the imperial palace. Generally speaking, it had a direct effect on the spirit. The effect was very strange and secretive to ordinary people, but it posed no threat to Zhou Bao.
Curses were not terrible. Their strengths lay in their strangeness and secretiveness.
Yan Yuntian, for example, practiced the Way of the Emperor, one of the 3,000 Great Ways, and had extremely powerful strength. Although it seemed that Yan Yuntian's strength was only at Level Seven and had just stepped over the threshold of an expert, Zhou Bao was sure that his strength was much more than that. It was very likely that Yan Yuntian's strength was at the peak of Level Nine, which was comparable to the three Grandmasters of Northern Yuan at that time. However, Zhou Bao did not know what method he had used to hide his strength without any flaws. This was not an easy thing to do.
However, even with his strength at the peak of Level Nine, he could not see through the mist, nor could he see that his Empress had actually died from a curse rather than a serious illness.
Thinking of this, his expression became strange. Looking at Yan Yunfei, who was crying at the bedside, and then at Yan Yuntian, who was sitting there with deep sorrow all over his body, Zhou Bao suddenly felt a little suffocated and did not want to stay in the bedchamber any longer. He stood up and wanted to go outside to take a breath of fresh air. Just as he reached the door, he suddenly remembered that there were a lot of people kneeling outside the door. It was really inappropriate for him to go out now.
"Eh?" All of a sudden, his ears moved slightly and a ray of light flashed in his eyes. He suddenly turned around and looked at Yan Yuntian. Almost at the same time, Yan Yuntian, who had been in sorrow, suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhou Bao. Their eyes met for a moment and then looked away. Without thinking, Zhou Bao flashed to Yan Yunfei's side and rolled her up with a dark golden Gang Qi. Almost at the same time, Yan Yuntian also moved. With a roar, the golden Gang Qi protected Luo Xuehuan's body.
Boom!
A white beam of light that was more than a hundred feet in diameter suddenly shot down from the sky, and bombarded the bedchamber.
Under the white light column, the roof of the bedchamber was torn apart like a piece of paper. A roar came from the bedchamber and the golden light instantly rose.
"Who, who is so bold!" This was Yan Yuntian's roar.
The change was so sudden that it was beyond everyone's expectation. The ministers kneeling outside the bedchamber also stood up in shock. Looking at the light column falling from the sky, they did not know what to do for a moment.
"There's an assassin!"
A sharp cry came from behind them. It was the guards in the palace who reacted at the first time and rushed toward the bedchamber. However, before they could rush to the door of the bedchamber, they were hit by the strong airflow from the bedchamber and flew out.
"Why don't you run? Do you want to wait for death here?" In the bedchamber, a dark golden streamer rushed out and landed in the square in front of the bedchamber. It was Zhou Bao and Yan Yunfei, who was shocked and did not know what had happened.
After Zhou Bao's shout, the ministers below were in a mess. Most of them rushed outside, except for the purple-robed elder, Pei Tianming.
"What the hell happened?" Pei Tianming asked with a gloomy face.
"How do I know?" Zhou Bao looked very innocent. He just came to see his mother-in-law who was about to die, not to be buried with her. He couldn't stand such a sudden attack on him.
"Zhou Bao, what, what's going on?" Yan Yunfei finally reacted and looked shocked.
"It seems that someone wants to assassinate your father, and we just happened to catch up!" Zhou Bao's eyes moved to the surroundings of the bedchamber. Under the impact of the white light column and the golden Gang Qi, the entire bedchamber had been turned into nothingness. The airflow from the collision of the Gang Qi and the white light column completely overturned the bluestones on the ground, revealing deep scratches below.
"A formation!" Zhou Bao frowned more tightly. With his eyesight, he could easily see that this was a newly engraved formation, no more than a year old. Moreover, this formation was not sophisticated and its function was very simple. When it was not activated, no energy fluctuation could be found at all. Therefore, it was well hidden under the bluestones and was difficult for ordinary people to find.
Even with Yan Yuntian's ability as an expert at the peak of Level Nine, when it was not activated, he would not find such a weird formation under the Queen's bedchamber.
There were many kinds of formations with different functions. But in general, all the formations were mainly for defense. Don't be fooled by this killing formation, which was full of murderous intent as if it could destroy the world. But in fact, most of the formations were fixed in one place and could not be carried around.
Most of the formations were fixed in one place and could not be carried around or set up temporarily. As long as the opponent did not enter the range of the formation, it would be useless even if the formation could trap an Innate Deity to death. Take the sword formation in the Golden Lights Cave of Qianyuan Mountain as an example. It was powerful and full of murderous intent, but if Zhou Bao did not enter the attacking range of the sword formation, it would only be a decoration.
This formation was the same. Compared with the Golden Lights Cave of Qianyuan Mountain, it was much simpler. Zhou Bao could see through its mystery at a glance. But it was because he had seen through its mystery that he frowned tightly.
In many cases, the more simple a formation was, the easier it was to break it. But at the same time, after sacrificing other functions, this kind of formation with a single function was particularly strong in one aspect, such as the one in front of him.
This was a formation for confining space. Zhou Bao had refined the Space Core in the mysterious gray space, so he had a thorough understanding of space. But thorough did not mean that he could break it. The reason why he could take Yan Yunfei out just now was that this formation had just been launched, and there were many flaws in the space. So he could walk away calmly. But now, the formation had been completed, and the surrounding space was sealed tightly and harder than diamonds. There were no flaws at all. If he wanted to go in, he had to break through the barriers of space. But when he saw the layers of space barriers that were like diamonds, Zhou Bao lost his confidence.
A complete space could be imagined as a house. If you had the key, you could open the door, just like Zhou Bao's Three Realms Division and Space Division. Without the key, you could break through the door or even the wall, just like Zhou Bao's Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword and the Great Fusion Technic. But if you dismantled a house and piled all the bricks together to form a solid structure, a thick wall, even if you had the ability to break through the door or the wall, you would be powerless in the face of such a pure wall. To break it, you would need a power that was several times more powerful than breaking through the door or the wall. But Zhou Bao did not have this power yet.
