Looking at the confused Luo Fengmo, Zhou Yiqiao still did not answer his question, but continued to ask.

"Then is this Daoist friend Zhao Qianli's father a high-ranking official promoted by His Majesty the Immortal Emperor in recent years?"

Luo Fengmo did not hide anything and nodded.

"That's right! Zhao Qianli's father is the Minister of Revenue promoted by His Majesty the Immortal Emperor, and is in charge of all the financial revenues of Daxuantian."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao looked as if to expect it.

"I see. No wonder you have such thoughts."

Seeing that Zhou Yiqiao was reluctant to tell them the whereabouts of Lin Zhongyi and others, Luo Fengmo became anxious like an ant on a hot pan. He didn't care about his image at all. He grabbed Zhou Yiqiao's wrist and asked anxiously.

"Nephew Zhou, please tell me quickly, what happened to Lin Zhongyi and the others?"

"Why did you come back alone?"

Seeing this, Ouyang Guangming frowned and scolded.

"Feng Mo, what are you doing?"

"Friend Zhou has just returned, so there must be many things that need to be explained clearly."

"Your impatience will only make it more difficult for him to speak."

After being scolded by Ouyang Guangming, Luo Fengmo realized his gaffe. He quickly let go of Zhou Yiqiao's wrist and smiled awkwardly.

"Sorry, sorry, I was in a hurry."

Ouyang Guangming also spoke at the right time.

"Don't worry, my friend Zhou. Just tell me if you have anything to say."

“Even if it’s a big deal, with me here, Feng Mo won’t dare to do anything to you.”

The old man guessed a possibility, so he said this.

"Thank you, senior."

With Ouyang Guangming's assurance, Zhou Yiqiao was finally relieved and told him everything that had happened to him after he left the camp.

Of course, in the process of narrating, he concealed key information such as Leng Shuang's existence and the changes in his own spiritual power attributes, and only focused on telling how Lin Zhongyi and others were instructed by Zhao Qianli to join forces with three late-stage refining void cultivators in an attempt to leave him dead in the wilderness.

After saying this, in order to prove the authenticity of these things, Zhou Yiqiao sacrificed the Ten Thousand Souls Banner in front of the two powerful men and summoned out the souls of Lin Zhongyi and others who had been refined into evil spirits in the banner.

Seeing the souls of Lin Zhongyi and others, Luo Fengmo and Ouyang Guangming's faces became extremely ugly.

"Zhao Qianli! What a great Zhao Qianli!"

Luo Fengmo laughed in anger, smashed the stone table beside him with one palm, and said with gritted teeth.

"Don't worry, nephew Zhou, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

When in the army, Luo Fengmo usually regards himself as a general. Only people who are familiar with him know that when Luo Fengmo calls himself "this king", it means that he is extremely angry.

He turned to the old man beside him with an angry look on his face and finally asked for his opinion.

"Senior Ouyang, do you have anything to say?"

Ouyang Guangming's face was extremely ugly at this moment. He shook his head and had no intention of persuading Luo Fengmo.

"We are now at a critical moment in the attack on the Origin Realm. Mr. Zhou is a key figure specially transferred to the front line by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess to refine the Dragon Ganoderma Paste for the frontline soldiers. It is reasonable and logical that he should be given special protection."

"Zhao Qianli's actions are not only to seek the illusory position of the emperor's husband, but also to disregard the lives of the soldiers on the front line. He deserves death!"

“Feng Mo, I know that you have a close relationship with Zhao Qianli’s father, but this matter is of great importance. No matter how arrogant and domineering he is, he must be severely punished!”

Upon hearing this, Luo Fengmo's expression became even uglier.

"Don't worry, Senior Ouyang. I will definitely not let this guy off easily."

After saying this, Luo Fengmo walked out of the tent without looking back.

After he left, Ouyang Guangming looked at Zhou Yiqiao with a smile and told him what he really cared about.

"My dear Zhou, you must have successfully subdued the Frost Fire of the Frost Valley when you returned this time, right?"

Zhou Yiqiao called him an old dog inwardly, but his expression changed from sadness to joy.

"Thanks to the guidance of the senior, I was able to successfully subdue the cold frost fire."

After saying this, he imitated the Ten Thousand Souls Banner to prove his behavior and sacrificed a ball of cold white flame.

Seeing this ball of cold white flame, a satisfied smile appeared on Ouyang Guangming's face.

"Not bad! Not bad! Young Master Zhou really didn't disappoint me."

He stretched out his hand and sucked the ball of cold white flame into his hand. After looking at it carefully, he returned it to Zhou Yiqiao.

"With this cold frost fire, plus the dragon zhi ointment formula that Her Royal Highness gave you, I believe it won't be long before you, my friend Zhou, become the most sought-after figure on the front line."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao quickly bowed and expressed his gratitude.

"Thank you for your praise, senior. I will definitely continue to work hard and refine more elixirs for the soldiers on the front line."

After the two of them pretended to be nice to each other, Ouyang Guangming suddenly put away his hypocritical smile, looked directly into Zhou Yiqiao's eyes, and asked with a serious face.

"I wonder if you, Mr. Zhou, have seen anything else in the Frost Valley besides the Frost Fire?"

Zhou Yiqiao secretly thought that it had finally arrived. Just as he was about to open his mouth to answer Ouyang Guangming's question, Leng Shuang, who had fallen asleep in his dantian, finally woke up and hurriedly reminded him.

"In the Lengshuang Valley, there is the power of heaven and earth that obscures the secrets of heaven. Even if an immortal from the upper realm wants to spy on the situation in the valley, he will be blocked by the power of heaven and earth."

"Although this person has appeared outside the valley, he has not checked the situation inside the valley. Be sure to be careful of the traps in his words."

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, he was startled and quickly changed his words.

"Senior, are you talking about the spiritual creatures in the Lengshuang Valley?"

Ouyang Guangming nodded and said seriously.

"That's right! I suspect there are treasures left behind by ancient immortals in this Lengshuang Valley."

"If we can obtain this treasure, I believe it will be of great help to the great cause of conquering the Origin Realm on the front line."

Zhou Yiqiao pretended to be reminiscing, and after a while, he answered with a hint of regret.

"To be honest, Senior, the environment in Lengshuang Valley is harsh, almost like a desert. After entering the Lengshuang Valley, all my thoughts were on fighting the extreme cold and taming the Lengshuang Fire. I didn't notice any spiritual creatures around me."

"Besides, after taming Leng Shuanghuo, the entire valley has become a scene full of spring. Where is the trace of the spiritual creatures of heaven and earth?"

When Ouyang Guangming heard this, an expression of "as expected" appeared on his face.

"I expected this too! You don't have to worry too much, little friend Zhou. Even if you don't find other companion spirit treasures, just taming a cold frost fire is a great thing."

"Since Mr. Zhou has successfully subdued the Cold Frost Fire, I wonder when you can help me refine the Light Coagulation Agent?"

As if he was afraid that Zhou Yiqiao would not agree, Ouyang Guangming also used his power to secretly threaten him.

"This item is related to my Great Xuantian's plan to conquer the Source Realm. The sooner Zhou Xiaoyou starts researching, the fewer casualties our Great Xuantian cultivators will suffer."

Zhou Yiqiao's heart trembled, thinking that the old dog had finally revealed his true colors. He immediately looked bitter and stood up and bowed.

"It's not that I don't want to start right away, but I'm currently dealing with Zhao Qianli's affairs. I must deal with Zhao Qianli's affairs first before I can concentrate on refining the light-condensing agent."

Ouyang Guangming's face darkened when he heard this.

"Don't worry, my friend Zhou. Since Feng Mo has already gone to deal with this matter, I believe there will be a result soon."

He paused, then continued.

"However, although Zhao Qianli's matter is important, the research on the light-condensing agent is also related to the life and death of the soldiers on the front line."

"I hope that Mr. Zhou can resolve Zhao Qianli's issue as soon as possible, and then devote himself to the research of the light-condensing agent."

Zhou Yiqiao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that Ouyang Guangming had temporarily let him go, and he bowed quickly.

"Don't worry, senior. I will definitely solve Zhao Qianli's problem as soon as possible."

Ouyang Guangming nodded, and after giving a few more instructions, he let Zhou Yiqiao leave the tent.

After he left, the smile on his face gradually disappeared, replaced by a gloomy expression.

"You have already subdued Leng Shuanghuo. It is too late to postpone it now."

Thinking of this, a sinister smile appeared on Ouyang Guangming's face.

......

On the other side, Zhou Yiqiao had just asked Ouyang Guangming for help when he was met by a big man.

This big man was extremely burly, over two meters tall, with muscles all over his body, giving people a feeling of strength.

As soon as he saw Zhou Yiqiao, he immediately bowed and bowed with a very respectful attitude.

"Mr. Zhou, my general has detained Mr. Zhao. Please go and interrogate him."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao nodded and followed the big man to a tent.

Inside the tent, Luo Fengmo was standing aside with a gloomy face, and in front of him was kneeling a young man wearing exquisite armor.

The young man's face was pale and his body was covered with scars. Even his armor was in tatters. It was obvious that he had just been severely beaten by Luo Fengmo.

"Zhao Qianli! You are so bold! How dare you murder the alchemist personally dispatched by Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess!"

Seeing Zhou Yiqiao coming, Luo Fengmo immediately snorted coldly and whipped Zhao Qianli hard.

After hearing Luo Fengmo's words, the young man raised his head, looked at Zhou Yiqiao with a resentful look, then turned to Luo Fengmo and said.

"General, please understand. I am innocent!"

"I have never met Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess, so how could I have such an unrealistic illusion of becoming Her Royal Highness's husband?"

"Besides, all the cultivators on the front line need your token to mobilize them. Even if I want to harm Master Zhou, I can't ask Lin Zhongyi and the others to do it!"

Upon hearing this, Luo Fengmo's expression became even uglier.

"Are you questioning my judgment?"

Zhao Qianli quickly shook his head to deny it.

"I dare not! But this matter is of great importance. I hope that the general and Mr. Zhou can see clearly and not wrongly accuse a good person."

The two of them sang in unison, and after a good performance in front of Zhou Yiqiao, they seemed to be aware of Zhou Yiqiao's existence belatedly.

Luo Fengmo put away the whip in his hand, walked to Zhou Yiqiao with a smile, pointed at Zhao Qianli and said.

"This guy is the culprit who murdered you! I have arrested him and am waiting for you to interrogate him."
