Chapter 397: Time, Cutting off

”What? I've only been away for five days?!”

After Zhou Bao returned to the Wuyang Region, everything was normal at the beginning. The first thing he did was to summon his subordinates in order to inquire them about what had happened in this world during his three-year absence. Their answers really surprised him. He had only been away for five days! Even Zhu Ba had not departed for his journey to a southern place.

”Yes, Your Excellency. You've been away for just five days, and I'm now ready for departure!” Watching Zhou Bao's poker face and the unfathomable light in his eyes, Wang Cheng and Jiang Xiao gave Zhu Ba a look. As Zhou Bao's cultivation enhanced day by day, he became more solemn. Under these circumstances, Jiang Xiao and Wang Cheng were quite prudent when communicating with Zhou Bao. However, Zhu Ba was simple-minded and straightforward. He was poised in front of Zhou Bao.

”What? You're only ready to leave now?! You little brat! Did you need five days to prepare for departure? Are you going to move there?” Zhou Bao scolded him coldly and added on, saying, ”Hurry up. Do you need me to send you there in person with tears?”

Upon hearing that, Zhu Ba trembled with fear and his flesh crept. He shook his head and said, ”No, I don't. I'll go. I'll go right now!”

Terrified and hurried, Zhu Ba left. Watching this scene, Zhou Bao was overjoyed. He waved his hand to Wang Cheng and Jiang Xiao, and said, ”Fine. You two can leave now!”

”Yes!” The two replied in unison.

” Five days! Only five days! I spent three and a half years in that space, but in this world, only five days passed. It means that the flow of time in that space is much quicker than this world. One day in this world almost equals to one year in that space. To be precise, one day in this world equals eight months in that space. Therefore, though I've stayed there for three and a half years, only five days passed in this world. It's amazing! If anyone disobeys me the next time, I'll throw him into that space and lock him there for one or two years. Damn! I'll let him die there!”

Of course, that was just a wicked thought of his.

He surely knew the great value of that space. Not only was it filled with abundant spiritual Qi, its time flowed quite quickly. One year in this world equaled hundreds of years there. Compared with this world, it was a better place to cultivate excellent talents. However, he did not plan to reveal information about it so quickly. It was more valuable than Taihao Fairy Weapons. We could even say that if that damned Divine Wind Palace obtained it, they could replace Taiyuan Heaven and Azure Heaven with it. Then, they will not bother to obtain the Azure Secret Area.

An innocent man would get into trouble on account of his wealth. Any wise man could understand this logic.

He would conceal the information about that space, but not the scheme of Divine Wind Palace. After all, he was not a selfless model.

”Oh, I forgot about that well. With Divine Wind Palace's background and strength, they probably can find that space, following clues they've acquired as I entered it. If so, the fact that the Wuyang Region was a place of Nine Dragons convergency would be revealed to them. That can be bad!”

Thinking of this, he dared not stay any longer. He flew towards that mysterious canyon, riding on a gust of wind.

Upon his arrival, he saw Little Du walking around that well. It howled from time to time as if it was calling someone. It had a strong spiritual connection with Zhou Bao. However, as Zhou Bao became more and more powerful, this connection became a unilateral one; Zhou Bao could contact it, but it could not sense him. When Zhou Bao was too busy to remember it, it could not figure out Zhou Bao's condition. It only knew that Zhou Bao had disappeared after jumping down the well and that he could not hear it no matter how it tried to call him. After three days, it became restless. Hence, when it saw Zhou Bao, it ran towards him delightedly.

”M, m, master...!”

”Okay, okay. Stop calling me. I know what you want to say. Don't worry. I'm back. Everything is fine!” Zhou Bao gently caressed Little Du's silky hair and smiled. He added on, saying, ”You've worked hard these few days!”

”No, it's not hard at all!”

”Well, I've figured out this place.” Zhou Bao patted Little Du's head, and a strand of strong Pure Yang Qi entered its head, spreading throughout its body. ”You go back first and practice according to the method I taught you. Great changes are about to take place. Don't run about when you're free like the past. All right?”
