The two maids were only in the foundation building stage, so how could they resist the Void Refining level Gu insect? They died without even letting out a scream, and fell to the ground covered in black.
After killing the two maids, the two paper poisonous insects burned automatically, turned into two very fine wisps of blue smoke, and disappeared.
The order Chen Hao gave them before leaving was that as soon as Concubine Zhang left the room, they would immediately kill the two personal maids and then spontaneously ignite and disappear.
Because Chen Hao had already made up his mind to keep Concubine Zhang free of chickens and dogs in the harem.
If Concubine Zhang can't be killed, then kill everyone else and come out to fool around. You must do what you say.
Although Concubine Zhang was powerful, she was checking the room with her spiritual consciousness at the moment and did not pay attention to the two maids, so she naturally knew nothing about it.
After scanning for a long time, Concubine Zhang's face turned pale.
She didn't check anything. There was not a single trace in the room, not even the breath of the original owner of the room.
It is absolutely impossible that the owner of the room has gone out.
Because when the owner goes out, he will not deliberately remove his own scent from the room.
It is even more impossible to leave a prohibited sign saying "Cultivating now, please do not disturb" in front of the door after going out.
There is only one possibility: something happened to the owner of the room, and after the murder, the perpetrator erased all traces and breath and left calmly.
Concubine Zhang's figure flashed and she was in another room.
I scanned it with my spiritual consciousness, but still found nothing.
The same goes for the next room.
Concubine Zhang no longer probed, but took out a messenger talisman, entered the information, and activated it.
Then she went back to her room.
As soon as she entered the room, Concubine Zhang froze.
She saw the bodies of the two maids lying on the ground, rotting and stinking.
In the short time she left, two maids who had served her personally for many years unexpectedly encountered unexpected events, but she, a mid-stage fusion power, knew nothing about it! Concubine Zhang's lips trembled as she suppressed the anger in her heart and her consciousness.
Scan the entire palace.
Nothing was found.
In her room, except for the death of the maid, there was no breath or clue.
It was as if the two maids committed suicide.
A cold look flashed in Concubine Zhang's eyes, and she used her spiritual consciousness to examine the bodies of the two maids.
The disappearance of Zhang family monk and Ke Qing must be closely related to the death of the two maids.
Although no traces were found, as long as the cause of the maid's death is found, there will be clues.
However, Concubine Zhang checked for a long time and found nothing except that the two maids died of poisoning.
Moreover, I don’t know what kind of poison the maid was poisoned, let alone how she was poisoned. I don’t know where the poison is coming from.
It was as if poison suddenly and inexplicably emitted from the void, poisoning the two unsuspecting maids to death.
Concubine Zhang has a strong cultivation base, extensive knowledge, and rich experience, but she has never seen such a situation before.
Seeing that the two maids were rotting and smelling faster and faster under the poison, Concubine Zhang had no choice but to wave a ball of fire and burn the bodies to ashes.
Seeing the ashes of the corpse floating outside the window and the room becoming empty, Concubine Zhang suddenly thought of a possibility and her face turned extremely ugly.
Perhaps her monks, guests, and other maids and attendants were not missing, but were destroyed.
Just like she did just now.
Just as I was thinking about it, a reminder came from the formation in the harem. A messenger talisman was sent from the outside world. Do you want to accept it?
Concubine Zhang's consciousness moved and she controlled the formation to receive the messenger talisman.
Immediately, a stream of light came quickly, turned into a talisman letter, and fell into the head of Concubine Zhang.
Concubine Zhang opened the talisman letter, and there were no words in it, but a spiritual message, which instantly entered Concubine Zhang's sea of consciousness.
Concubine Zhang read the content of the message, her face getting colder and colder.
She had just suspected that her monks were missing and might have encountered something unexpected, so she sent a messenger talisman back to the Zhang family to ask if the soul lamps of these monks were extinguished.
The natal soul lamp has the same function as the alliance's soul card. It is made from the soul blood of the monk. Once the monk dies, the soul lamp will be extinguished.
Now seeing the information reported by the Zhang family, it turns out that the soul lamps of these monks have been extinguished.
The reason why no body was found was that it was destroyed as she just thought.
There were only two personal maids, and since the perpetrator was not present, they were only stabbed behind the scenes, leaving the bodies behind.
The suspicion in her heart was confirmed. Although Concubine Zhang was extremely angry, she was even more shocked.
You know, her harem is not a vegetable market. Anyone can come and leave as they please.
Compared to many royal palaces, the harem's defenses and rules are much stricter.
The defense here refers not only to the formations and restrictions within the palace, but also to the external formations.
Because the harem belongs exclusively to the emperor, courtiers and other royal family members are not allowed to enter without permission.
Although the monks and guests under Concubine Zhang, including the maids and attendants, can come in and out, they must report it, that is, they must obtain permission from the court before they can come in or out.
The imperial court does not allow it, and even if you are as powerful as Concubine Zhang, you cannot violate it.
Of course, Concubine Zhang herself is a powerful person in the integration stage, and her family is also very powerful. The court will naturally give her face and relax her authority, but one code is one code. At least within the palace, no one dares to disobey the court's regulations.
The power of the combined stage is indeed a valuable weapon for the imperial court, but compared to the majesty of the emperor, it is still insignificant.
Rules are one thing, and defense is another. The Tianxing Formation's level of defense and protection for the harem is at least ten times that of other royal families.
Under such harsh conditions, even for monks in the integration stage, if they are not proficient in formations, it would be extremely difficult to break in.
Not to mention, Concubine Zhang also has her own formations, restrictions and various monitoring methods in the harem.
If the Tianxing Formation's external defense of the harem is equivalent to the gate, then Concubine Zhang's personal defense of the harem is equivalent to the inner gate.
The degree of protection of the inner door is much higher than that of the outer door.
As for how powerful it is, there is no need to go into details. In one sentence, without Concubine Zhang's permission, even if you are at the peak of the late-stage integration, it is impossible to sneak in silently.
In fact, with external protection, the internal protection of Concubine Zhang's harem is superfluous and basically useless.
The palace was originally the headquarters of the Dasheng Dynasty. What kind of strong man could force his way in, enter the harem deep inside the palace, and cause harm to the emperor's concubines?
Even if an immortal reincarnates, he may not be able to do it.
However, Concubine Zhang's personal defense of her harem was not to defend against external enemies, but rather to defend against external defenses and other people in the palace.
No matter how strong the external defense force is, it is not Zhang Fei's own strength. As long as it is not her own strength, there may be threats. As a monk, she will never be placed in an environment that may threaten her own safety.
But as an emperor’s woman, she cannot leave the palace, what should she do?
Naturally, it is to deploy internal forces that are completely under one's control. Once external defense forces may threaten oneself, there are also means to resist.
