This was a long-planned assassination. The assassin had planned it for at least a year, and his target was Yan Yuntian. Zhou Bao just happened to be there.
Since it was an assassination of the emperor, it basically had nothing to do with him. Although he married someone's woman, it didn't mean that he had to risk his life to help someone.
"Save me! Someone, come and save me!"
At this time, the people in the square in front of the bedchamber had all run away, leaving only the purple-robed elder and three people. If Zhou Bao had good eyesight, he would have recognized that these three people were the heads of the civil officials in the imperial court, the Three Ducal Ministers.
The guards in the palace were also in a state of confusion. They had never thought that such a thing would happen. The palace was strictly guarded. Even if it was an assassination, the assassin would use an extremely secretive method. They had never seen an assassination that caused such a huge commotion.
The attack came from the sky. The commander of these guards was also a Level Seven expert. But when he rolled up his Gang Qi and tried to find the source of the white light, he found nothing. The white light connected the sky and the earth. No one knew how high it was. A Level Seven expert could fly, but it was the limit for him to reach a height of 10,000 feet. It was impossible for him to destroy the light in the middle. Seeing that he couldn't find the source, the commander took it for granted and chopped at the white light with his saber. As a result, the saber was broken and the commander died. His whole body was shattered by the recoil force of the white light.
A Level Seven expert!
He was shattered by the recoil, which showed how powerful the power of the light was.
"It seems to be a formation, but also a celestial device. Yes, the white light must be the function of a Pure Yang Celestial Device. Otherwise, it can't be so powerful and last so long!" After a few breaths, Zhou Bao found something wrong with the white light. "No, no, it's not a Pure Yang Celestial Device. Pure Yang is the function of a formation. They used two kinds of formations to superimpose them. Two kinds of formations with a single function are combined!"
"Hurry up, help! What are you doing there?"
At this time, the Three Ducal Ministers, led by the purple-robed elder, also rushed to the bedchamber. Each of them mobilized their strength, and a great force rose up and violently hit the Space Rampart around the bedchamber.
The Three Ducal Ministers were all at Level Eight and practiced the Innate Universal Genuine Qi of the Mingyi School. The Grand Tutor, Pei Tianming, had even condensed the Innate Universal Golden Book and fiercely hit the Space Rampart.
"It's no use. Your strength can't even break the ordinary space, not to mention this special superimposed Space Force!" Zhou Bao shook his head and advised.
"Shut up! You are also a subject of His Majesty. Why don't you come to help?" The Grand Tutor's words. "You are with me. with you, I," the Grand Duke, "" the "Fu" with "" with "with." Yun "and" Fu "."
At this time, he also understood that among the people present, the only one who could save Yan Yuntian was Zhou Bao. Therefore, as he scolded, he winked at Yan Yunfei, who was in Zhou Bao's arms.
Yan Yunfei finally recovered from the sudden panic. Without saying a word, she gritted her teeth and rushed out. With a flash of her sleeve, a soft sword appeared in her hand, and she fiercely slashed at the Space Rampart.
"Damn it!" Zhou Bao muttered in a low voice and cursed. He helplessly walked toward the Space Rampart, but he did not do anything. "Well, you don't have to waste your strength. This Space Rampart has been superimposed. Even a Genuine Immortal can't break it, let alone you!"
No one paid attention to him. The Three Ducal Ministers and Yan Yunfei were still attacking the Space Rampart with all their might.
Zhou Bao shook his head. When he was about to step forward, a vicious look flashed across his face. "You're courting death!"
He waved his hand, and the dark golden Gang Qi surged up violently.
With a bang, a stream of blood spurted out from Yan Yunfei's back. Not far away, there was the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and a figure gradually appeared.
It was a skinny man dressed in black from head to toe. Zhou Bao did not know what method he had used to hide his figure. He wanted to get close to Yan Yunfei, but how could he hide from Zhou Bao's spiritual mind?
"Sure enough, someone is courting death!"
Originally, Zhou Bao did not want to meddle in this kind of thing. This kind of thing would never end if he meddled in it. However, this did not mean that he could tolerate others having ideas about him. Yan Yunfei had already married him and was his woman. Ideas about Yan Yunfei were ideas about him. This was something he could not tolerate.
Therefore, after sweeping the man away, Zhou Bao did not even look at him. Zhou Bao snorted coldly. The dark golden Gang Qi turned into nine dark golden Fire Dragons and soared into the sky. The Nine Fire Dragons grew rapidly. In the blink of an eye, each of them grew to a thousand feet long, whistling and hovering over the imperial palace.
"Ah!"
"Oh no!"
"Run!"
"Quick!"
"Escape!"
… …
… …
Numerous small and short cries sounded. One by one, the figures were forced out of the darkness by the strong heat flow.
"Invisibility Skill?" Seeing the figures appearing out of thin air, Zhou Bao's eyes became brighter and brighter. The Invisibility Skill was a kind of special technique. It itself was not brilliant, nor was it a big secret. As long as one found a special Evil Qi, refined it, and launched it, he could completely hide his figure and spirit. Of course, this kind of spirit concealment was not as good as the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill. As long as one's cultivation reached the Expert Realm, he could still find some clues if he wanted to, let alone an expert at Zhou Bao's level.
As soon as Zhou Bao arrived at the bedchamber, he found these people. But he took it for granted that these guys were the guards of the imperial palace. They were the secret forces of the royal family, so he did not care about them. Until just now, when one of them tried to go forward to restrain Yan Yunfei, he felt that something was wrong. So he launched his power and forced all these people out.
Now, even the Three Ducal Ministers could not help but be moved. They stopped their attacks.
"Good, good, good. It's really good. There are so many assassins in the imperial palace. Gongye Cha, Gongye Cha, how did you do your job? You deserve to die, you deserve to die!"
He roared and looked for a person called Gongye Cha, but no one answered. At this time, a guard who looked like the leader came forward and said, "Your Excellency, His Excellency Gongye, he just died in the line of duty!" As he spoke, he pointed to the sky.
Zhou Bao understood. It turned out that the guy who attacked the white light column and was shattered by the power of the white light was the Gongye Cha mentioned by the Grand Tutor.
Hearing the guard's words, Grand Tutor Pei Tianming took a few deep breaths before he calmed down. He stared at the guard fiercely, strode to the front of one of the assassins, and stomped on his leg.
Zhou Bao frowned when he heard the sound of bones breaking, but the assassin gritted his teeth and did not make a sound.
"Tell me, who sent you? Who is the mastermind? Tell me quickly!"
There was no movement.
"Your Excellency, don't waste your time. They're all dead!"
Zhou Bao sighed as if he had discovered something.
"Dead? You killed them all? "Pei Tianming was furious. He turned around and stared at Zhou Bao fiercely.
"Don't talk nonsense. There was poison in their mouths. Once they found out, they gritted their teeth and died. It has nothing to do with me!"
Pei Tianming looked at the assassin in front of him. Sure enough, the assassin's face was covered with a black cloth, but the corner of his mouth was gradually soaked with blood.
"It seems that these guys' target is not only the Emperor, but also you. I'm afraid these guys are lying in ambush here to deal with you!" Zhou Bao said softly.
At this time, there were not many people in the square in front of the bedchamber. More than half of the ministers who were kneeling in the rain had run away. Only a dozen people, led by the Three Ducal Chancellors, were left in the square. These people were all important ministers and direct subordinates of the Three Ducal Chancellors. They were the heads of the most important departments in the imperial court. All of them were in high positions, but their strength was not so good. Except for the Three Ducal Chancellors, who were experts, the strongest among them was only at Level Four. As for these assassins who were hiding in the dark, the lowest cultivation was at Level Four, and the highest cultivation was even close to Level Seven. When the Three Ducal Chancellors were distracted by the safety of the Emperor in the bedchamber and tried their best to save the Emperor, they would not notice that these people who knew the Invisible Skill had secretly killed the ministers. In fact, one minister's throat had already been cut.
Although Zhou Bao did not want to say it, he had to admit that if he had not arrived today, this person's plan would have been a success.
The Emperor was an expert at the peak of Level Nine, but under such a killing situation, he had to be trapped in the bedchamber, resisting the erosion of a powerful formation. He could neither withdraw nor escape. As for the Three Ducal Chancellors outside the bedchamber, although they were all Level Eight experts, they would not be able to think of a good solution in a short time after such a thing happened. At that time, it was not impossible for them to arrange a back-up plan to kill the Three Ducal Chancellors and their direct subordinates.
Now, the opponent had not used the back-up plan to deal with the Three Ducal Chancellors. It was not that there was no back-up plan, but because there was a variable like Zhou Bao, the opponent was too afraid to use it.
Something that could deal with three Level Eight experts might not be able to deal with Zhou Bao. The reason why the assassin approached Yan Yunfei was easy to explain. They wanted to control Yan Yunfei first and use her to threaten Zhou Bao, so that he could not intervene in the affairs of the palace. In this way, they could carry out their plan.
The idea was good, but after all, they overestimated the hiding ability of the Invisible Skill and underestimated their strength and spiritual mind.
Not only did they fail to threaten him, but they also annoyed him.
