Chapter 499 Manipulating Time
Dugu Qiu sensed something was wrong. Logically, he should have shaken those people off. Why were they still holding on to him?
Zhang Chen pointed at Cheng Yu who was in a coma and said, "Huang Tiandao must have done something to this girl. He must have used this to track her down."

Dugu Qiu turned his head and looked at Cheng Yu for a moment, as if he had noticed something, and then he said, "So that's how it is. Huang Tiandao actually anchored this girl's soul and can track her trajectory based on her soul."

"Godfather, can you break Huang Tiandao's magical power?" Zhang Chen asked.

Dugu Qiu shook his head: "Unless the tracking treasure is destroyed, there is no way to break this method. This girl can be chased by the Great True Man Huang Tiandao Yangshen himself, and even invited the Great Demon King to take action. Her identity is not simple."

Facing Dugu Qiu's temptation, Zhang Chen said in a deep voice: "I don't care what means Huang Tiandao has, what calculations he has made on this girl, or what plans he has made on this girl. She will always be my sister. Even if I die, I will never hand her over to Huang Tiandao."

Dugu Qiu not only did not object, but patted Zhang Chen on the shoulder with great satisfaction: "You are a good guy, I was right about you! You don't have to worry, although I don't have the ability to break this trick, but I have a plan to conceal it from the world."

After saying that, Dugu Qiu pulled out a strand of Cheng Yunniu's hair, then grabbed a handful of straw, weaved the straw into a scarecrow, and then stuffed the strand of hair into the scarecrow's body. Then, Dugu Qiu didn't know what means he used, but the scarecrow's body actually exuded the aura of Xu Erniu, and at this time, there was no trace of Xu Erniu's aura around her body.

"I'll use this scarecrow to deceive the world and lure those people away. You take her and hide well, and leave the Northland quietly." Dugu Qiu said, "As long as she doesn't run into Huang Tiandao's people in the future, and Huang Tiandao's people see Xu Erniu directly, this method can deceive her forever. Unless the great virtuous teacher in Huang Tiandao personally takes action to break my method of concealing my breath, those stinky fish in Huang Tiandao will not be able to see through my method."

At this point Dugu Qiu said to Zhang Chen: "I'll be waiting for you in Shangjing, remember to come!"

After saying this, Dugu Qiu turned into a stream of light and disappeared between heaven and earth.

Looking at Dugu Qiu's disappearing back, Zhang Chen stood there for a long time without saying a word. He had an inexplicable feeling towards this old eunuch in his heart. The feeling was very complicated, and all kinds of emotions surged in his heart at once.

"Let's leave the Northland first." Zhang Chen looked at Zhang, who was full of panic, and whispered, "Don't be afraid. Everything is over. As long as I am here, nothing will happen to you."

"I'm not worried about my own life. I'm a peasant woman from the mountains. I've lived in a wealthy family for two years and enjoyed countless wealth and glory. I'm not afraid even if I die now. I'm just worried about you brothers. You're still young, and nothing can go wrong." Zhang said.

Zhang Chen smiled when he heard this, and after comforting Zhang, he used his beast-taming technique to capture two donkeys, which carried the three little ones back to the cave.

As for why they returned to the cave, it was because there were countless books and the huge geomagnet in the cave.

Of course, the most important thing is that the most dangerous place is also the safest place. He wants to hide here for a while, and it will not be too late to set off again after Huang Tiandao gives up searching for him and others.

Now all the masters of Huang Tiandao have been attracted by the old eunuch, and Gu Mingyue has personally explored this place, so Huang Tiandao’s people will not come here again.

Right now, the demon tribe in the north is trying to control the floods and blockade the northern checkpoints. They want to imprison the northern people and are hunting down humans on a large scale. If Zhang Chen goes out at this time, he will be too conspicuous.

The most important thing is that it is not easy for Zhang Chen to take away the huge piece of geomagnetic magnet. This thing is too eye-catching and attracts iron objects everywhere. If he is not careful, he will get into big trouble.

Zhang Chen was just going to use this time to finish reading the book wrapped in the Earth Element Magnet and memorize all the contents in his mind, which would be better than carrying it over long distances.

"Why are we back here again? What if that group of people comes back to search, won't they block us?" Zhang followed behind Zhang Chen, her heart was in turmoil, her eyes full of anxiety.

"Don't worry. I'm here so even if that group of people returns, I will cover it up. We have to hide here for a while. When the situation outside stabilizes, we will find a chance to leave the North." Zhang Chen vowed.

Zhang was helpless. Although she was terrified, she had no choice but to follow Zhang Chen. In such a chaotic world, how could a woman like her have any choice?

However, Zhang Chen was not a reckless person. He disguised the cave and created five rooms and a living room under the cave, including a bathroom, a bedroom, and a place to make a fire. As for the ventilation problem, it was not difficult for Zhang Chen. He could create thousands of wormhole-like holes with just a thought in his mind, which was enough to keep the basement ventilated.

As for the darkness and coldness underground, Zhang Chen had given it some thought. He simply found the dead tree and lit a bonfire in the basement.

As for daily food, it was not difficult. There were monsters everywhere in the mountain. You could catch one and eat for seven or eight days. As for water, Zhang Chen could draw spring water from the underground with just a thought. It was more than enough for the whole family. After Zhang Chen collected enough firewood, he moved the whole family to the basement, and then controlled the power of earth to level all the passages and restore them to the shape of a cliff. The whole family lived underground like rats.

Zhang's daily task is to take care of the three little ones and wait for them to wake up. Zhang Chen comes to his room alone and summons the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth. He wants to determine the location of the old eunuch and see if the old eunuch is with the Longevity Tree Coffin. He is in urgent need of life and needs the Longevity Tree Coffin to prolong his life.

As his Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth opened, the image on the mirror flashed, and Dugu Qiu had appeared in a palace. The palace was surrounded by purple aura. The image of Zhang Chen's Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth flashed, and then the purple aura fluctuated, which actually interrupted Zhang Chen's Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth's surveillance.

"That is the destiny of humanity! Even the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth cannot see through such a strong dragon energy. The only place in the world that can have such a strong dragon energy is probably the center of the human race." A thought flashed through Zhang Chen's mind.

"Dugu Qiu must have returned to the palace. Could it be that the Longevity Tree Coffin has been transported out by him?" Zhang Chen felt a little disappointed. Having lost the Longevity Tree Coffin, he could only pin his hopes of prolonging his life on his own wood element authority.

"I just hope that the power of the Wood Element is strong enough, otherwise I will be in big trouble. After all, spiritual objects that can prolong life are rare in this world." Zhang Chen muttered, then put away the Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth and took out the Ascension Pool from the Basher Space.

The Ascension Pool is now magnificent, with emerald green light flowing throughout the entire pool. The young seedlings of the towering Jianmu tree continuously inhale and exhale the Qi in the void, transforming it into streams of innate vitality for the Ascension Pool to absorb, but the amount of innate vitality is too small.

"I wonder if my ten years of ripening the Jianmu seedlings will help accumulate ten years of innate energy. If I can do that, I'll make a fortune." Zhang Chen felt a little excited.

Zhang Chen glanced at the Ascension Pool, then at the towering Jianmu seedling. The next moment, he pointed at the towering Jianmu seedling. Then a strange force flowed out from Zhang Chen's body and fell on the Jianmu seedling.

Ten years passed in the blink of an eye, and the Jianmu seedling remained the same, seemingly without any change.

As for Zhang Chen's hope of accumulating ten years of innate vitality, that was even more impossible. After all, the power of time increased time, not external things such as cultivation of Taoism.

If, as Zhang Chen hoped, he used his time magic on someone, wouldn't that directly help that person increase his cultivation by ten years? Increase the results of ten years of hard work? By then, not to mention beating that person into a withered skeleton, he would be considered a fool for aiding his opponent.

The effect of time is only on itself, and those things that come with it are completely fantastic.

Zhang Chen retracted his finger and looked at the Tongtian Jianmu seedling. Seeing that the seedling had not changed at all, he began to doubt his life: "Was it the power of time that I just activated?"

Looking at the unchanged Jianmu seedling, he began to doubt his power of time!
"Fuck, how did you master the forbidden power of time?" Just as Zhang Chen was staring at the Jianmu seedling, the Great Freedom Demon jumped out of Zhang Chen's body and looked at Zhang Chen with horror on his face, his eyes full of disbelief.

That is the law of time, that is the forbidden power!
What did he just see? Zhang Chen actually moved the power of time?
I have always been with this kid. When did he master the power of time?

The Great Freedom Demon looked Zhang Chen up and down, his eyes full of doubt and fear. "Damn it, this is really scary! Even those old guys who have lived for countless years and are at the top of the world don't have the power to manipulate time, right?"

"Did you figure it out?" Zhang Chen turned around and glanced at the Great Freedom Demon.

"I'm not blind! When did you master the power of time? Who are you that you can even master the power of time?" The Great Freedom Demon stared at Zhang Chen with a look full of horror.

It's so creepy, this is the power of time!

This kid's identity is definitely extraordinary! He must be the reincarnation of some unknown existence beyond one's imagination, otherwise how could an ordinary creature have such ability?

He was becoming more and more suspicious of Zhang Chen's identity. This kid's identity was definitely problematic. Even his mortal enemy back then was not worthy of touching the power of time.
