Li Yao was greatly shocked to see Yan Chifeng jump out like a wolf. His face was paler than a dead man's. Pointing at Yan Chifeng, he stammered, "You … you …"
"You didn't see this coming, did you, Sand Scorpion?"
With tears in his eyes, Yan Chifeng roared to the sky. "Your plan was indeed flawless. But you didn't expect that my father would learn the mysteries of Xiong Wuji's birth and your scheme would be revealed to me! Sand Scorpion, stop struggling. You are a space resident just like Xiong Wuji! "
Panic flashed on Li Yao's face. He was as anxious as a trapped animal in a trap. He replied drily, "I — I am not a space resident!"
Shi Meng stepped forward and unsheathed his saber. His eyes red, he said, "Sand Scorpion, as I said, if you lied to me, I would be the first to kill you! You are not a space resident? Then how do you explain Yan Chifeng's question? "
Li Yao did not know what to do. He swallowed and struggled to reply, "I am really not a space resident. It's just that Chief Xiong has been treating me like a nephew. Naturally, I believe everything that he says!
"In the dungeon, Chief Xiong told me that everything was a scheme and that the key was the Oasis Tribe. He asked me to find a way to investigate the Oasis Tribe!
"I was all by myself. My capability was limited. I could only steal a lot of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures to craft powerful magical equipment!
"After I crafted a lot of magical equipment and this armor, I immediately went north. I happened to run into a tank of the Burning Fire on my way.
"I noticed that the tank was suspicious. I intended to intercept it, but a few experts suddenly jumped out of the tank.
"After I defeated them, I found that they were all imprisoned. But I discovered that there were twenty hostages locked in the carriage. All of them were cultivators!
"After that …"
Li Yao glared at Yan Chifeng. He continued, "I came to this valley under the guidance of Yan Chifeng. Another hundred Cultivators arrived one after another. But they meant no harm. They were merely misled by the Temple of Immortals and were here to rescue people!"
"What?"
Yan Chifeng was so angry that he laughed. "Sand Scorpion, your name is indeed correct. You are making a false countercharge when you are about to die!
"I guided you here? I've never been here before, so how do I know that there's a valley here? "
"What's more, my father was just killed, and you're very likely to be one of the murderers. I can't wait to skin you alive. He even guided you to escape? "
"This lie of yours is too full of holes!"
Li Yao blushed and shouted, "I'm not lying. I'm not a space resident!"
Yan Chifeng bulged his eyes and burst into fury. "Shut up! The evidence is right before our eyes. You are not a space resident. Why are you able to craft such delicate armor? "
Li Yao seemed to have been struck by lightning. He stiffened for a long time and said with a pained expression, "This. This, this matter is related to my origin. I have my difficulties. Don't force me! "
Yan Chifeng sneered. "Of course, it has something to do with your background. You are a space resident in the first place. It is not strange that you know how to craft such a suit!"
"Bullshit! Bullshit! Bullshit! "
Li Yao was like an erupting volcano that had been suppressed for so long. Two streams of hot air seemed to be spurting out of his nostrils. His spiritual gas surged out and raised all the dust around him!
He pointed at Yan Chifeng's nose and roared. "Yan Chifeng, this is all a trap that you set up. You have wronged me! I am an honorable warrior of Iron Plateau. I am not a space resident. Absolutely not!
"As a warrior of Iron Plateau, it is a great humiliation to be accused of being a scoundrel from space!
"Yan Chifeng, you are framing me. I — I want to have a duel with you!"
Li Yao was about to lunge at Yan Chifeng, but Shi Meng and Xiong Zhenzhen stood in front of Yan Chifeng in advance and pointed their thin swords and long sabers at Li Yao.
The other hundreds of qi-trainers aimed their guns at Li Yao, too.
Shi Meng bellowed, "Don't move! One more step forward, and you will be minced into meat paste immediately! "
Yan Chifeng took a few steps back and shouted desperately, "Sand Scorpion, if it were another occasion, I would definitely accept your challenge and avenge my father in person!
"But right now, don't try to muddy the water in such a way. We won't be fooled!"
Li Yao was sweating hard. He seemed to be desperate. He waved his hands like a drowning man and shouted at Shi Meng and Xiong Zhenzhen, "I was wronged! Trust me! I am not a space resident! "
"Enough!"
The patriarch of the Giant Axe Tribe stood on top of the heavy war chariot and let out a loud roar that sounded like the rumbling of a giant axe. Everyone's ears were buzzing.
"Sand Scorpion, you claim that you are not a space resident and that you were wronged by Yan Chifeng. We can't tell who is wrong in such a short time.
"Thankfully, I foresaw such a situation before I set off!
"Do you dare to go to the Truth Cabinet and prove your identity?"
Li Yao's face changed greatly when he heard 'Truth Cabinet'. He couldn't help but touch the back of his head and said unnaturally, "Going to the Truth Cabinet is the greatest insult for a warrior of Iron Plateau. Why should I go to the Truth Cabinet?"
Everybody was shocked after hearing his words. Shi Meng and Xiong Zhenzhen were even more disappointed.
Yan Chifeng burst into laughter. "Sand Scorpion, don't be so stubborn. You don't have the courage to go to the Truth Cabinet at all, because your real face will be exposed the moment you go to the Truth Cabinet!"
The chief of the Feathered Snakes Tribe stood up from the command tank and shrieked, "Sand Scorpion, we all know that going to the Truth Cabinet is the greatest insult for a warrior of Iron Plateau. It means that you don't believe what he says at all! However, this is a matter of great importance. If you are unwilling to go to the Truth Cabinet, we can only regard you as a spy of space!
"A few days ago, in order to persuade Xiong Wuji to go to the Truth Cabinet, the six tribes proposed a lot of compensation. Today, as the chief of the Feathered Snakes Tribe, I promise that if you are willing to go to the Truth Cabinet and prove your innocence, the compensation will still be valid!
"As long as you prove that you are not a space resident and that everything is a scheme, the trophies that you have taken will be a gift from the Feathered Snakes Tribe. Also, you will be the most honorable guest of the Feathered Snakes Tribe!
"The Giant Axe Tribe will do the same!
"The Heaven Wolves Tribe will do the same!
"The Silver Moon Tribe will do the same! The Silver Moon Tribe will do the same! "
While they were talking, they approached Li Yao quietly and gradually formed an encirclement.
Li Yao was intimidated by the intimidating aura of the crowd. Dazed for a long time, he suddenly pointed at Yan Chifeng and asked, "Why am I the only one going to the Truth Cabinet?
"Yan Chifeng said that I was a spy of space, and I said that he was a spy of the Temple of Immortals! If you want to go, let's go together! "
Yan Chifeng had foreseen that he would do that. He replied frankly, "Sand Scorpion, I didn't know that you were so insane. You killed my father, and now you want to frame me as a murderer? "
"Alright! As long as you prove that you are not a space resident on the Truth Cabinet first. Why can't I go to the Truth Cabinet? "
The chief of the Feathered Snakes Tribe waved her hands. "Somebody, bring the Truth Cabinet up!"
"Wu."
In the Feathered Serpent Tribe, the sound of a horn could be heard. A bizarre-looking heavy tank slowly drove out of the battle formation.
Eight muscular men whose upper bodies were naked were dragging enormous chains on two sides of the tank. They exerted all their strength, with veins bulging out of their bodies. Finally, they separated the two sides of the tank.
A weird-looking platform popped up from the middle of the tank.
This high platform was supported by four giant purple copper pillars, on which countless shocking reliefs were engraved.
They were pictures of men and women, old and young, who had cut out their hearts from their chests and mumbled to them. It was both terrifying and weird.
On the platform was a black iron chair. The back of the chair was connected to an iron hat that was embedded with countless crystals. It zigzagged all the way into the Truth Cabinet through hundreds of crystal wires.
In front of the platform, two ancient words had been carved on the left and the right. The left side was' True '. The right side was' False '.
Another four heavy tanks slowly moved forward. Eight muscular men connected a few thick tubes to the Truth Cabinet.
Inside the four heavy tanks … They were filled with high-purity crystals to provide enough energy to power the Truth Cabinet and trigger the powerful techniques.
Li Yao narrowed his eyes and observed carefully. The 'Truth Cabinet' seemed to be a jumble of two pieces of magical equipment in completely different styles.
Gears, chains, rivets, and all kinds of crude components that were popping up nonstop on the outside.
At the center, through the gaps between the gears and the chains, he could see that a core component that seemed to be made of natural jade was rotating slowly in midair, emitting a mysterious aura.
It was also like a weird eye that could see through his heart directly.
At the bottom left corner of the Truth Cabinet was a rusty nameplate. After thousands of years, it was already blurred.
Li Yao maximized his eyesight and read several words.
"Special Lie Detector … for the No.1 Fleet of the Star Ocean Imperium!"
Li Yao immediately realized that the core of the Truth Cabinet was a lie detector from the Star Ocean Imperium ten thousand years ago. No wonder it required so much energy to be activated, and no wonder it could tell whether the Cultivators were telling the truth or not.
"Sand Scorpion, please come to the Truth Cabinet!" the chief of the Feathered Snakes Tribe shouted.
Li Yao nodded and strode forward.
Yan Chifeng suddenly said, "Wait. These space residents are quite weird. Chances are that they have magical equipment that can resist the Truth Cabinet. Let's search them carefully!"
The chief of the Feathered Snakes Tribe nodded. Two gold snakes suddenly crawled out of her colorful robe and slithered toward Li Yao. "Sand Scorpion, excuse me!"
Li Yao sneered and opened his arms, allowing the snakes to crawl up and down inside his armor.
Yan Chifeng said again, "The Truth Cabinet mainly targets the brain. You need to search his hair carefully."
The chief of the Feathered Snakes Tribe glanced at him and did not say anything. The two gold snakes slithered into Li Yao's hair and searched for a long time, only to find nothing.
The chief of the Feathered Snakes Tribe nodded and said, "Other than his weapons, Sand Scorpion does not carry any special magical equipment."
Yan Chifeng rolled his eyes, but he did not question it anymore. He simply said, "Alright. Since you've examined him in person, there shouldn't be any problem!"
Li Yao sniffed and jumped onto the Truth Cabinet. Looking down at everyone, he finally put on a confident smile and declared, "You will soon believe that I am not a space resident."
"Sand Scorpion!"
The chief of the Feathered Snakes Tribe shouted. "If you are not lying, just say that you are an Iron Plateau native in front of thousands of compatriots of Iron Plateau on the Truth Cabinet!"
