Chapter 992: Camp in the Forest

In an ancient forest with few people, there is a simple camp built on the backs of three giant trees that are hundreds of feet tall.

Although the camp is simply decorated, it is well-equipped with all kinds of living facilities, and it is obvious that someone has arranged it carefully.

This is the wood-collecting camp, a temporary base built by the disciples of Qinjian Villa in Qianmu World. It is a place for the disciples to exchange information, rest, replenish supplies, and share their achievements.

In the camp, several disciples of Qinjian Villa were sitting or standing, gathered in twos or threes, and talking in low voices.

Suddenly, a figure came from a distance and landed in the camp in a few takes off and landed.

When everyone saw the person coming, their faces changed.

"Why did this evil star come here?"

"Isn't this evil star tired of killing tree people and wants to steal resources from us?"

"Don't talk nonsense, be careful he hears it."

Everyone in the camp was whispering, and they were quite wary of this uninvited guest.

The new visitor looked to be in his early twenties, tall, with long black hair casually tied behind his head. He had a handsome face, sharp eyebrows and bright eyes, but there was a cold feeling between his brows.

He was dressed in a black suit with a black sword hanging diagonally at his waist. He looked like a poisonous snake, ready to launch a fatal blow to his prey at any time.

This person was Zhou Yiqiao, who was planning to come here to search for information about the Red Flame Spirit Wood.

Zhou Yiqiao's arrival made the atmosphere in the entire camp instantly tense.

Over the past year, everything Zhou Yiqiao did in Qianmu Realm had already spread to everyone's ears.

He is ruthless and unscrupulous in his actions. No matter whether it is the tree people or the disciples of Qinjian Villa, as long as they are his prey, they will end up in a miserable end.

Now that he came to this camp alone, everyone felt an inexplicable pressure.

At this time, a tall and handsome disciple walked out from the depths of the camp. He was the person in charge of this place and the highest-ranking disciple of Qinjian Villa in this wood-cutting meeting. His name was Yun Qinghong.

Yun Qinghong's gaze fell on Zhou Yiqiao and his brows furrowed slightly, but he still walked forward and bowed.

"So it's Junior Brother Zhou who has arrived. I was wondering why everyone was silent."

Zhou Yiqiao seemed not to hear the sarcasm in Yun Qinghong's words. He smiled and got straight to the point.

"I heard that this place is where the disciples of Qinjian Villa exchange information. As a half-member of Qinjian Villa, I also want to come here to get some information."

"Oh? What information do you want to find out, Brother Zhou?"

Yun Qinghong asked calmly.

Zhou Yiqiao smiled slightly and said.

"I heard that there is a rare spiritual wood called Red Flame Spirit Wood growing in the Thousand Wood Realm, which is an excellent material for Senior Sister Bi Yao to forge the guqin."

"Junior brother followed the information provided by Senior Sister and went to the Chiyan tribe that had the Chiyan Spiritual Tree, but found that the Chiyan tribe had been razed to the ground long ago, and the Chiyan Spiritual Tree naturally disappeared without a trace."

"Therefore, Junior Brother has come here specially to ask all the senior brothers and sisters if anyone knows the whereabouts of the Scarlet Flame Spirit Wood?"

Yun Qinghong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard this.

Zhou Yiqiao's words seemed to be a question, but in fact they were a hidden threat.

He was telling the fellow disciple present who might possess the Red Flame Spirit Wood to hand it over, otherwise, he would not mind taking some extreme measures to get what he wanted.

Yun Qinghong had worked so hard to establish his prestige in the camp, so it was natural that he would not allow Zhou Yiqiao to achieve his goal so easily through threats.

After hesitating for a moment, he spoke slowly.

"Junior Brother Zhou, to be honest, we don't know the whereabouts of the Red Flame Spirit Wood either."

"But don't worry, Junior Brother Zhou. Since this is the spiritual wood that Senior Sister Bi Yao is looking for, we will do our best to help find it."

"If we really find any information about the Scarlet Flame Spirit Wood, we will inform Junior Brother Zhou immediately."

Although Yun Qinghong's words were polite, he was actually politely rejecting Zhou Yiqiao's request.

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then he smiled.

"Don't bother the brothers and sisters with so much trouble."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and threw out a feather arrow made of jet-black feathers. The arrow was wrapped with wisps of black demonic energy, and looked strange and dangerous.

"This is the magic feather arrow that Senior Sister Bi Yao gave to me. As long as it is stained with the aura of the object you are looking for, it can point to the owner of this object."

Zhou Yiqiao looked at Yun Qinghong with a half-smile, then made another move and took out a handful of soil containing fire attribute spiritual power.

"Although the Red Flame Tribe was completely destroyed, Junior Brother was lucky enough to find a handful of soil from the place where the Red Flame Spiritual Tree grew among the ashes. I think it should be able to help Junior Brother find the whereabouts of the Red Flame Spiritual Tree."

As Zhou Yiqiao spoke, he threw the magic feather arrow and the soil into the air.

As his mind moved, the black demonic energy lingering on the Demon Feather Arrow suddenly boiled over and enveloped the handful of soil.

After a moment, the black evil energy gradually converged and finally turned into a black light feather, falling from mid-air and extending in one direction.

Upon seeing this, everyone looked in the direction the black light feather was pointing, only to see that the direction the black light feather was pointing was a wooden house deep in the camp.

"It seems that the whereabouts of the Red Flame Spirit Wood is in that wooden house."

Zhou Yiqiao looked at the wooden house with a sneer on his face.

Yun Qinghong's expression suddenly turned ugly.

That wooden house was where they stored the spiritual wood and spiritual medicines they collected.

If the Red Flame Spirit Tree is really there, it means that the destruction of the Red Flame Tribe is indeed related to a disciple in this camp.

As a result, Yun Qinghong, as the manager of the camp, had to step forward to deal with the matter.

"Junior Brother Zhou, just a magic feather arrow cannot prove that the Red Flame Spiritual Wood is in that wooden house."

Yun Qinghong said in a deep voice.

This statement was already a distortion of right and wrong, but he still said it, simply to hint that Zhou Yiqiao should stop there.

If Zhou Yiqiao was a disciple of Qinjian Villa, he might really have to give up for the sake of his future practice.

But he was not only a hostage of the Netherworld Demon Sect, he also came here for Bi Yao, so he didn't need to consider Yun Qinghong's feelings at all.

"If you don't believe me, you can go check it out yourself."

Zhou Yiqiao chuckled, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

Upon hearing this, Yun Qinghong’s face turned as dark as dead water.

He naturally understood what Zhou Yiqiao meant. He was forcing him to go and confirm the whereabouts of the Red Flame Spirit Wood in person.

"Junior brother, you look like you are here to accuse me, as if you regard this Scarlet Flame Spirit Wood as your own property. You simply don't take us seriously at all."

"Senior Brother Yun, you are too kind."

Zhou Yiqiao smiled lightly and said.

"The Scarlet Flame Spirit Wood was specifically requested by Senior Sister Bi Yao, and I am just following her orders."
