The King of Hell's Genius Pampered Wife
chapter-1805

Xi Yue grinned and touched the warm pagoda fruit.

She had already received the best gift: the genuine gratitude and belief from others. Her actions would bring back the departed loved ones one day, giving her the greatest hope for reunion.

…

At this moment, Anling Yan and her companions were worried about Qing Lei possibly catching up to them. However, they found themselves facing unexpected trouble instead.

Qing Lei looked at an exquisite courtyard not far ahead with a livid face, and the veins on his forehead kept beating.

To find the murderer of his son, Qing Yuanzhi, Qing Lei almost turned over the entire Thousand Beast Forest.

Then, his men inadvertently stumbled upon this place.

Amidst the towering trees of the dense forest, a modest yet elegant courtyard appeared. The courtyard was beautifully designed, surrounded by a few precious purple-heart green bamboos.

They were so rare that it was rarely seen in the Dark Cloud Realm. This gave the entire area a mystical and ethereal atmosphere.

Meanwhile, no matter how they looked at it, the place seemed undeniably strange.

Qing Lei was convinced that the killer of Qing Yuanzhi was hiding in this courtyard. He was also certain that Anling Yan must also be hiding here.

So, without a second thought, he commanded his men to charge into the courtyard.

However, something strange happened.

After entering the purple-heart green bamboo grove surrounding the courtyard, Qing Lei and his men found the elegant courtyard clearly in sight. However, no matter how hard they charged forward, they always ended up right back where they started.

Qing Lei gritted his teeth angrily. He was even more convinced that Qing Yuanzhi was killed by the people in this yard.

He bellowed, “Is this an illusion array? Do you think I, the esteemed head of the Qinglei family and a cultivator of the Void Darkness Stage, would be afraid of a mere bamboo grove?”

“Listen up, everyone! Use all your artifacts and attack this bamboo grove with everything you’ve got. I don’t care if you end up blowing the house and everyone in it to pieces!”

Upon hearing this, Qing Lei’s men took out their weapons and attacked the purple-heart green bamboo grove and the courtyard not far away.

However, when their powerful attacks hit the air, the barrier only rippled slightly, leaving the entire bamboo grove completely unscathed.

It was as if something here effortlessly absorbed all their attacks.

Even Qing Lei’s ultimate move, [Thunder Overlord], which could flatten a hill and create a bottomless pit in the ground, was ineffective here.

But here, when [Thunder Overlord] was unleashed, all that could be heard was a crackling thunder, and then it vanished without a trace.

Qing Lei’s face paled as he looked at the courtyard, which seemed so close yet was actually out of reach. His eyes were filled with uncertainty and suspicion.

“Family master, perhaps we should retreat for now and return with more manpower to settle the score,” one of his subordinates cautiously suggested.

Qing Lei snorted coldly but had to compromise.

Moreover, a sense of fear had already taken root in his heart regarding the courtyard’s owner. He realized that the inhabitants here might possess a cultivation far superior to his own.

No matter how important avenging his son was, it couldn’t compare to the importance of his own life.

However, when Qing Lei wanted to retreat from the purple-heart green bamboo grove, he realized he couldn’t.

They were trapped in the bamboo grove. No matter which direction they took or how far they walked, they always ended up back where they started.

One of the Qing family members, who was skilled at digging, tried to tunnel his way out. However, when he emerged, he found himself still within the bamboo grove.

“What kind of array is this? How can it be so powerful?”

“What should we do? Are we going to be trapped here forever?”
