Chapter 986 Asking for the Origin

In the dark and damp cave, Feilin slowly woke up.

He stood up in shock and looked around at his surroundings.

The surrounding stone walls have become smooth and moist due to years of erosion by water. Water droplets dripping from the top of the cave from time to time splash onto the ground, making crisp sounds.

Feilin struggled to stand up, but found that his hands and feet were tightly tied with rough hemp ropes and he could not move at all.

"Where is this place?"

Feilin frowned, trying to recall what happened before he fell into a coma.

He remembered that he was stabbed by Zhou Yiqiao's Netherworld Demon Sword. The repairing power of his bloodline started to work on its own and started a fierce battle with the strange sword energy in his body.

Then his eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.

"Could it be that Zhou Yiqiao did it?"

Feilin's face gradually became gloomy, and the hatred in his heart for Zhou Yiqiao was like a blazing flame, burning more and more vigorously.

As the grandson of Elder Feimu in the Treeman Tribe, he has been the center of attention since he was a child and has never been treated like this before.

But now, he was actually captured by an outsider. This was a great shame and humiliation for him!

"Asshole, when I get out, I will make sure you live a miserable life and die a miserable death!"

Feilin cursed viciously in his heart, while struggling desperately, trying to break free from the hemp rope that bound him.

However, no matter how hard he tried, the hemp rope was as hard as iron and did not move at all.

Just then, a sound of footsteps came from far away.

Feilin looked up and saw a tall and handsome young man slowly walking into the cave.

He held an oil lamp in his hand, and the dim light shone on his angular face, making him look even more handsome and extraordinary.

Feilin recognized the young man at a glance. It was Zhou Yiqiao who had fought with him!

"It's really you!"

Feilin roared, his eyes full of resentment.

However, in the face of Feilin's roar, Zhou Yiqiao just smiled faintly, as if he didn't take him seriously at all.

"Don't waste your energy. These hemp ropes were given to me by someone else. They are magical weapons specifically designed to target you tree people. With your strength, it's impossible for you to break free."

As Zhou Yiqiao spoke, he used his spiritual power to place the oil lamp on a huge rock beside him, then walked in front of Feilin and looked down at him condescendingly.

"Tell me, where does your bloodline come from?"

Feilin didn't understand why Zhou Yiqiao suddenly asked this question, but he didn't answer. He just glared at Zhou Yiqiao fiercely, as if he wanted to kill him with his eyes.

Zhou Yiqiao was not surprised by Feilin's silence. He had expected that the other party would not speak easily.

He shook his head slightly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.

"I know your Treeman tribe has some special heritage, but I advise you to be sensible. Otherwise, I have plenty of ways to make you speak."

As Zhou Yiqiao spoke, he slowly raised his palm, and a powerful wave of spiritual energy burst out instantly.

Feeling the terrifying pressure, Feilin's face suddenly turned extremely pale.

He could clearly feel that Zhou Yiqiao's strength was far above his. If they really started fighting, he would probably not even have a chance to resist.

“I…I said!”

Under the threat of death, Fehling finally chose to surrender.

He took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"All the tree people in our Fei tribe have this ability to quickly heal themselves and can even help others recover quickly."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded, and then threw the small jade bottle in front of Feilin.

"What does this have to do with your tribe?"

Fei Lin, who was suppressed by Zhou Yiqiao's pressure, looked up at the small jade bottle with difficulty, then retracted his gaze and answered honestly.

"In the Fei tribe, every cultivator above the Refining Void stage will condense a drop of their life essence blood every hundred years."

"This blood essence has a wide range of effects and is often sought after by the various tribes in the Qianmu Realm to save lives at critical moments."

"The contents of this jade bottle are the diluted product of my life essence and blood."

Zhou Yiqiao raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard this.

He didn't expect that this tiny drop of blood could have such an effect.

"Since this blood essence has such a miraculous effect, I'm sure that even in the Tianchen Realm where I am, many people have asked you for it, right?"

Zhou Yiqiao asked calmly, with a gleam of brilliance in his eyes.

Feilin nodded and replied.

"indeed so."

"There is a secret trade between Qinjian Villa and my tree people clan. Every time we make a deal, we specify that we want the tree people's blood from Fei tribe."

"Although I don't know much about the Tianchen Realm's operations, there should always be quite a few people who need this item."

Zhou Yiqiao nodded, finally figuring out the origin of the statue that Chu Tianxing wanted.

"I have said all that I should say. I hope you can show some mercy and let me go!"

As Feilin spoke, a hint of pleading appeared on his face.

He didn't want to die here. He was still young and had a lot of things to do. He didn't want to end his life like this.

If it were in the past, Zhou Yiqiao would have sneered with disdain when hearing such a plea.

But today, Zhou Yiqiao was not in a hurry to take action.

"It's not impossible to let you go."

"You stay here for a few months. If no one comes to rescue you, I will let you go. If your tribe wants to rescue you, then you can only consider yourself unlucky."

Zhou Yiqiao said this, turned around and prepared to leave.

Upon hearing this, Feilin became anxious.

According to Feilin, as one of the most talented people in the Fei tribe, the elders of the tribe will definitely send strong men to rescue him after seeing the soul lamp flickering in the ancestral hall.

Therefore, Zhou Yiqiao's conditions were completely aimed at killing him!

"No, you can't do this!"

Feilin struggled to stand up and tried to stop Zhou Yiqiao from leaving.

However, his hands and feet were tied tightly with hemp ropes and he could not move at all.

"Don't worry, if my guess is correct, your tribe may not come to rescue you."

Zhou Yiqiao said lightly, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone.

When Feilin heard this, his face suddenly turned extremely pale.

He couldn't believe his ears, and he couldn't believe that Zhou Yiqiao would say such a thing.

"You...what do you mean?"

Feilin asked in a trembling voice, with a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart.

Zhou Yiqiao didn't answer him, but just smiled coldly and turned away.

Naturally, he would not reveal to Feilin that, through the information he collected in the battle with them, he had speculated that someone in the upper echelons of Qinjian Villa intended to use the tree people to stir up hatred between him and the tree people, and even try to make him die in the Thousand Wood Realm.

Given the intentions of the forces behind this, Zhou Yiqiao was naturally unwilling to let them get what they wanted.

Therefore, he decided to take the opposite tactic and try to ease the relationship with the tree people.
