Chapter 990 2 Best of All

When the tree man leader heard Zhou Yiqiao's instigation, he suddenly became suspicious.

He opened his mouth several times to speak, but seemed to have thought of something. His eyes drifted to the tribesmen around him who were entangled with evil spirits, and he swallowed the words back when they reached his lips.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao knew that the tree man leader had been shaken. He chuckled as if he saw through the other party's thoughts and persuaded him in a gentle manner.

"Don't worry, my evil spirits all have the ability to perceive things. In such a chaotic environment, they can't hear our conversation."

After hearing Zhou Yiqiao's explanation, the tree man leader's concerns were slightly alleviated.

He looked at Zhou Yiqiao deeply, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

As the chief of the Treeman Tribe, he was naturally unwilling to hand over the tribe's treasure, the Green Vine Spirit Wood, to an outsider.

However, he was also aware of his current situation. If he did not agree to Zhou Yiqiao's request, he would probably become a useless person and lose all his status and dignity.

The tree man leader was silent for a while, and finally spoke.

"But if I agree to your request, as the chief of the tribe that lost the Qingteng Spiritual Wood, my prestige in the Qingteng tribe will be greatly reduced."

"Even if I still have the strength I have now, I won't be able to rule the entire tribe like before."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly when he heard this, raised the green vine of spiritual wood in his hand, and continued.

"You don't have to worry about that."

"I can obtain the method to communicate with the Green Ivy Spirit Wood, so my status in Qinjian Villa is naturally not ordinary. After I leave, you can completely shift the responsibility to the Jade Tribe."

"If the Jade Tribe hadn't colluded with Qinjian Villa to hold this ridiculous wood-cutting meeting every hundred years, how could a cultivator like me from Qinjian Villa have the opportunity to sneak into your Qingteng Tribe and steal the Qingteng spiritual wood?"

As Zhou Yiqiao spoke, he stared at the tree man leader inconspicuously. Seeing that his eyes had relaxed a little, he continued to lead him astray.

"Of course, if you still have concerns, I can take back these evil spirits and let your people get closer to me."

"When the time comes, I will be seriously injured and snatch the Qingteng Spirit Wood from your people."

"In this way, you don't even need to bear any charges. You can even show your responsibility as the clan leader by forgiving the behavior of that clan member. How do you think?"

After Zhou Yiqiao finished speaking, he saw that the tree man leader was still hesitating, so he frowned slightly and mobilized the plague, allowing the poison to rage in the opponent's body.

The tree man leader suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from deep inside his body, as if countless needles were piercing his internal organs.

He was in so much pain that he could hardly breathe. He could only clench his teeth tightly to prevent himself from making any sound.

Zhou Yiqiao looked at him coldly, with a hint of threat in his tone.

"You'd better not delay any longer. My patience is limited."

The tree man leader was filled with despair. He suppressed the pain in his body and spoke with difficulty.

"Okay, I promise you."

His voice trembled slightly and his eyes became empty.

Even if Zhou Yiqiao could help him completely clear the suspicion, the Green Vine Spirit Wood was lost in his own hands after all, and this fact could not be changed in any way.

The Treeman Tribe, which has lost the Green Ivy Spiritual Tree, will probably soon become a vassal of other tribes.

The tree man leader felt bitter in his heart and slowly closed his eyes, as if this could hide the sadness of losing the green vine spirit tree.

Zhou Yiqiao naturally ignored the tree man leader's thoughts, nodded with satisfaction, and then quickly took the evil souls back into the Ten Thousand Souls Banner.

The obstacles suddenly disappeared, and the tree people of the Qingteng tribe immediately surrounded Zhou Yiqiao.

Seeing this, Zhou Yiqiao took back the plague in the tree man leader's body and punched him, sending him flying.

When the tree people saw their leader being knocked away by Zhou Yiqiao's punch, they were immediately furious and rushed towards Zhou Yiqiao with roars.

However, this was the moment Zhou Yiqiao was waiting for.

His palm holding the vine suddenly emitted a light green light. The next moment, the green vine spirit tree rose from the ground, shrank rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and flew into Zhou Yiqiao's cuffs.

"We'll see you later."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled at the familiar people who gathered around him, then jumped up with the green vine spirit wood.

He jumped into the woods and disappeared among the dense trees.

The tree people chased angrily, but their speed was no match for Zhou Yiqiao.

Soon, Zhou Yiqiao's figure disappeared from their sight.

The tree man leader lay on the ground, watching Zhou Yiqiao escape, and somehow he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

After all, thanks to Zhou Yiqiao's commotion, he was able to secure his position as clan leader.

The tree man leader struggled to get up from the ground, looked at the direction where Zhou Yiqiao disappeared, a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Just as Zhou Yiqiao said, after chasing for half an hour without any results, the tree people of Qingteng tribe returned to the tribe in grief.

"Where's Ta Nian?"

The tree man leader asked in a hoarse voice.

Ta Nian was the tree man closest to Zhou Yiqiao when he was trying to snatch the Qingteng spiritual wood. He was also the only person in everyone's eyes who had a chance to stop Zhou Yiqiao before he succeeded.

"He's still pursuing the intruder."

A tree man stepped forward and answered respectfully.

This person seemed to have a good relationship with Tanian. After he finished speaking, he explained carefully.

"Tanian was caught off guard and the intruder snatched the Green Ivy Spirit Wood. He felt guilty and was determined to retrieve the Green Ivy Spirit Wood himself and give an explanation to the clan leader."

Upon hearing this, the tree man leader sighed according to Zhou Yiqiao's suggestion, and then slowly spoke.

"Let Tanian come back. As the clan leader, I am also responsible for the loss of the Qingteng Spiritual Wood."

"The opponent is extremely powerful. Even I am no match for him. Tanian is only at the late Nascent Soul stage. He is just sending himself to die in vain."

When the tree people of the Tree Man Tribe heard the words of their leader, they all looked worried.

They knew that the Green Ivy Spiritual Tree was of great significance to the entire tribe. Now that it was lost, the future of the entire tribe became full of uncertainty.

The tree man leader also saw the worries of the crowd, gritted his teeth, pretended to be extremely difficult, and made a decision.

"With the loss of the Qingteng Spiritual Tree, our Qingteng Tribe no longer has the capital to remain in seclusion in a corner of the world."

"This tribe leader has decided to go to the Emerald Tribe after recuperation and apply to become a vassal of the Emerald Tribe."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the tree people present showed angry expressions.

"Chief, this is not possible. If it weren't for the damned Emerald Tribe colluding with the human race, there wouldn't be anything like what's happening today!"

"We will endure hardships, but we will never become a vassal of the Emerald Tribe!"
