Chapter 498: Pursuit
Hearing Dugou Qiu's words, Zhang Chen suddenly understood that the reason the Judgement had dropped a skill related to time was because the Judgement itself possessed the ability to manipulate time.
But if he were to stimulate the Judgement again, would there be a chance to drop a Heavenly Lightning skill?
As thoughts raced through Zhang Chen's mind, his gaze involuntarily fell upon the long spear.
Dugou Qiu noticed Zhang Chen's gaze and quickly grabbed the spear: "Don't even think about touching this divine weapon again, kid.
If you cause any more trouble, I won't be able to save you, even as your ancestor."
Seeing this, Zhang Chen secretly said 'What a pity,' and then steered the flat boat away.
The two of them arrived at the foot of the mountain where Zhang Chen had hidden his family.
Zhang Chen stopped the boat, and together with Dugou Qiu, they went ashore.
At this time, Dugou Qiu had regained his ability to move and was no longer in serious condition.
The Qi energy around him flowed smoothly, and his injuries had healed for the most part.
"What are you doing here?" Dugou Qiu watched the melting ice boat, his eyes looking towards the distant mountains with a strange expression.
"My family is on this mountain, and I want to take them away from this place," Zhang Chen said.
Dugou Qiu's expression turned odd as he said, "Your family seems to have encountered some trouble."
"Trouble?" Zhang Chen was startled and quickly rushed towards the mountain.
Outside the stone cave where the Zhang family was hiding, a figure shrouded in divine light walked out of the void, holding a tray in his hand.
On the tray was a delicate golden spoon, its handle pointing towards the cave.
Gu Mingyue examined the tray in her hand, looking at the spoon's handle pointing to the cave, and revealed a thoughtful expression: "So, that girl Cheng Yu is hiding here?"
Gu Mingyue put away the tray and spoon and walked towards the cave, immediately alarming the Zhang family.
"Who are you?" Zhang held a dagger in her hand, looking at Gu Mingyue with a wary expression.
Gu Mingyue ignored Zhang and instead looked at Cheng Yu, who was undergoing a transformation, a smile appearing on her lips: "Found you."
She walked towards Cheng Yu, but Zhang stepped forward to block Gu Mingyue's path: "Stop!
If you take another step forward, I won't be polite."
Gu Mingyue glanced at Zhang, but that single glance contained boundless divine power.
Zhang's body flew backward, crashing into the stone wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and fainted with her eyes closed.
"You little girl, you really made me search.
I still need to use you to restrain the Great Virtuous Teacher, so I can't let you run away!"
Gu Mingyue stepped forward and directly grabbed Cheng Yu's belt, then carried her on her shoulder like a bag of cotton wool, not even looking at Zhang Tuowei and Zhang Fei, and turned to walk out of the cave.
But before she could leave the cave, Gu Mingyue had to stop because two figures blocked her path.
"Dugou Qiu and Zhang Chen!
How did these two get mixed up together?
And Zhang Chen was imprisoned in the earth's magma by me, how is he still not refined to death?"
Gu Mingyue looked at Dugou Qiu opposite her, and couldn't help but feel a tremor in her heart.
Although both sides were Ninth Order existences, one relied on the blessing of external divine power, and the other relied on his own cultivation.
How could the two be compared?
Moreover, Dugou Qiu held a Twelfth Order divine weapon in his hand, which she couldn't contend with at all.
"Release Cheng Yu!" Zhang Chen said.
"Cheng Yu is a Yellow Turban Dao cultivator and should return to my Yellow Turban Dao.
You are just a mere last disciple, how dare you speak to me in such a tone?"
Gu Mingyue looked at Zhang Chen, her voice full of gloom.
Remembering how Zhang Chen controlled the flood to fight against her, and Zhang Chen's ability to control the earth, she couldn't help but feel a trace of fear in her heart.
Zhang Chen ignored Gu Mingyue and instead looked at the listless old eunuch, the meaning expressed in his eyes was very clear: "Your son is being bullied."
"Under the whole heaven, there is no land that is not the king's; on the shore of the whole land, there is no subject that is not the king's.
I, the old ancestor, came with the king's mandate, what if I order you to release the person?" Dugou Qiu grabbed the long spear behind him and said to Gu Mingyue in a strange tone.
"This is a matter of my Yellow Turban Dao family.
Although you are from the imperial court, it is not good to interfere in other people's family affairs at will." Although Gu Mingyue felt empty inside, she still retorted to Dugou Qiu.
However, in order to avoid stimulating the other party, she deliberately used the word 'you'.
Zhang Chen thought that Dugou Qiu was going to continue arguing for a while, but who knew that Dugou Qiu just said "Hehe!" and the next moment the Judgement long spear in his hand flashed with lightning, and he had already stabbed towards Gu Mingyue opposite him.
"Dugou Qiu, you dare to interfere in my Yellow Turban Dao family affairs, when the Great Virtuous Teacher comes out of seclusion in the future, I hope you can still be so domineering." Gu Mingyue directly threw Cheng Yu down, and her figure crashed into the wall and disappeared.
"My son, wait here for a while, I will go and kill this hard-mouthed fellow for you." Dugou Qiu's figure turned into a rainbow light and disappeared in place, leaving Zhang Chen standing in the stone cave looking at the fainted Zhang and the unconscious Cheng Yu with a gloomy expression.
"Cheng Yu is indeed very important to the Yellow Turban Dao.
These guys from the Yellow Turban Dao actually smelled the scent and came to the door.
If I hadn't saved Dugou Qiu, I'm afraid the trouble would have been great today." Zhang Chen secretly rejoiced in his heart.
He was naturally not afraid of Gu Mingyue and could escape at any time, but his family could not escape.
Zhang Chen stepped forward to examine Cheng Yu, confirming that she was unharmed, and then quickly went to Zhang Shi's side. Using his blood control technique to sense Zhang Shi's body, he saw that three of her ribs were broken and there was accumulated blood inside her body, but her life was not in danger.
"Thankfully!" Zhang Chen's mood relaxed, and he took out a pill from the Bashe space and put it into Zhang Shi's mouth.
This pill came from the mysterious era and was refined by that girl for him, precisely to prevent him from suffering injuries during tribulations.
With this pill, Zhang Shi's injuries could be healed in a day.
Zhang Chen also checked on the two little ones, and after confirming that they were not injured, he finally felt relieved. "Damn it, I'm afraid I won't have peace in the future. The Yellow Heaven Dao will never let Cheng Yu go. The Yellow Heaven Dao has a plan for Cheng Yu and will never give up. But I have already hidden this girl Cheng Yu, how did the Yellow Heaven Dao find Cheng Yu's tracks?"
"Unless the Yellow Heaven Dao has some backup plan that can lock onto Cheng Yu's location. This time, they sent a ninth-order True Person. I have Dugui Qiu's protection, but what if three or four ninth-order True Persons come next time? Although Dugui Qiu controls twelfth-order mysteries, he is also overwhelmed." Zhang Chen felt a little anxious. "So the most important thing right now is to suppress the aura on Cheng Yu's body so that the Yellow Heaven Dao cannot lock onto Cheng Yu's aura."
Zhang Chen scratched his head, his eyes looking at his golden finger panel, his gaze falling on the Town Talisman:
【9 skills (fifth order): Town Talisman (2000000)】
"The Town Talisman can suppress all auras, but the level of the Town Talisman is too low, I'm afraid it's not stable. But if I want to upgrade the level of the Town Talisman, the skill points required are enormous. Logically speaking, my Six-Word Mantra Talisman is already a top-level suppression method. With the current level of my Six-Word Mantra Talisman, how could Cheng Yu still be found?" Zhang Chen was puzzled, carefully analyzing the flaws in it.
"Could it be that my Six-Word Mantra Talisman mainly suppresses the palace in Cheng Yu's soul, and not Cheng Yu's soul itself?" Zhang Chen thought for a long time, the only explanation he could think of was this, otherwise his Six-Word Mantra Talisman would never be easily broken.
"That's troublesome, after all, I only have one Six-Word Mantra Talisman, either suppress Cheng Yu's body or suppress that palace, I can only choose one." Zhang Chen felt very棘手: "There is no other way, unless I delay time, and upgrade the level of the Town Talisman later, and then use the Town Talisman to suppress all of Cheng Yu's aura."
But how difficult is it to upgrade the level of the Town Talisman? Right now, the Town Talisman is only at the fifth level, and it already requires two million experience points, not to mention grinding it to the Fruit Realm, even grinding it to the twelfth level would require an enormous amount of experience points?
"I wonder if my cheap godfather has a solution." Zhang Chen thought about it and felt that he could ask Dugui Qiu for advice, after all, Dugui Qiu is the number one expert of the royal family and controls countless secret techniques, perhaps he has a way to fool them.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chen took out the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, then opened the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, and immediately saw two divine lights chasing each other in the mountains, one person running away in a panic like a stray dog, and the other person chasing behind with lightning flashing around him, chasing the escaping light with no way to go to heaven or earth.
The two chased and fled, all the way to the demon race's base camp. Dugui Qiu looked at the powerful aura flowing in the distant sky with fear. That was the aura of the Tiger Power Great Immortal. Sure enough, the next moment, seven or eight auras rose into the sky from the demon race's camp and chased after Dugui Qiu, startling Dugui Qiu, who shook his body, turned around, and disappeared in place.
Zhang Chen quickly closed the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror and put the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror into the Bashe space. As expected, only two breaths later, the old eunuch's figure had already appeared in the stone cave.
Dugui Qiu cursed and said, "He's lucky. If it weren't for the great demon king of the demon race, this old ancestor would have stabbed him to death today. The Yellow Heaven Dao is stirring up trouble in the northern lands, and even helping Zhang Shicheng transform into a divine dragon, disrupting the luck of the northern lands. It's really a heinous crime."
"Dad, are you not injured?" Zhang Chen stepped forward and pretended to care.
"You brat still has a conscience, knowing to care about me. It's just a mere Yang God expert, how could he hurt me?" Dugui Qiu said, "But we can't stay here any longer. Gu Mingyue of the Yellow Heaven Dao has already gathered helpers to kill us. Although I'm not afraid, I don't have the energy to protect you. We have to run away quickly."
He had seen clearly before that a master in the camp had already sensed his aura and was tracking him. His injuries have not yet recovered, and he does not want to be entangled with the demon race. If he provokes the Tiger Power Great Immortal to take action, coupled with his helpers, then he will not be able to escape.
Zhang Chen quickly carried Zhang Shi on his back, hugged Cheng Yu, and Dugui Qiu also quickly carried the two little ones on his shoulders. The group quickly rushed out of the mountain cave, and then Dugui Qiu did not know what method he used, rolled up a gust of wind, wrapped Zhang Chen and others, and turned into a streamer and left.
Dugui Qiu constantly meandered and twisted in the mountains. After running for a full hour, he stopped the escape light with a heavy face and turned his head to look in the direction he came from: "Something's wrong! Logically speaking, we should have甩开them long ago. How can they lock onto our aura?"
