The moment Li Yao walked out of the ward, he saw the crystal warship of the Great Horn Exo Society floating in the bright blue sky.
From higher space, countless carriers were transporting assets to the crystal warships like ants moving house and then to the six tribes of Iron Plateau through the Great Horn Exo Society.
It was a blessing in disguise. After the Temple of Immortals' scheme was exposed, Xiong Wuji's scenario where the Iron Plateau natives and the space residents joined hands might happen earlier than expected.
For the Iron Plateau natives, they had suffered heavy losses in the fierce battles. Also, the six tribes had more or less been infiltrated by the Temple of Immortals. There was no telling whether or not the remaining forces of the Temple of Immortals were still in the Dark Continent. They were in dire need of all kinds of assistance.
In the world of Cultivators, however, the past few months had been turbulent. The social order was unstable, and the financial market was in chaos. Both the ordinary people and the Cultivators were gradually losing confidence.
If they were caught in a large-scale war on the ground, a lot of resources and lives would be consumed even though the Iron Plateau natives were all barbarians.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, no one wanted to fight this battle.
Right now, it was very likely that the Iron Plateau natives would ally with the space residents. Regardless of what would happen in the future, at the very least, the two parties could work together to resist the Temple of Immortals.
Once this news was released, it would undoubtedly be a great boon to the market. It was simply injecting a shot of cardiac stimulant into the chaotic situation.
Twenty college students from the two supreme universities were rescued by the Iron Plateau natives. With that as an opportunity, the journey to thaw the ice had officially begun.
However, no matter how eager the two parties were to communicate, it was impossible for the fleets of the six sects of Heavenly Saints City to land on Iron Plateau directly.
On the contrary, after picking up the twenty hostages and expressing their gratitude to the Iron Plateau natives, they simply retreated to the edge of the Iron Plateau Space Zone to show that they meant no harm.
After all, the relationship between the two parties was too sensitive. Theoretically speaking, both parties regarded themselves as the legitimate successors of the six major sects from five thousand years ago.
The chief of the Furious Bears Tribe was theoretically the president of the Furious Bears Association. There were no two suns in the sky, so it was naturally impossible for the Ferocious Bear Association to have two presidents.
In the face of the Battle of Orthodoxy, all actions had to be done carefully.
Therefore, the Great Horn Exo Society, which had nothing to do with the six sects of Heavenly Saints City. Instead, he became the best middleman, temporarily acting as a bridge between the two sides.
The six sects of Heavenly Saints City delivered the assets carried by the fleet to the six tribes of Iron Plateau through the Great Horn Exo Society, which solved the urgent needs of the Iron Plateau natives and expressed their gratitude for saving the hostages.
In the ward of Li Yao and Xiong Wuji. In the other yard, Xiong Wuji's condition was more serious than Li Yao's. But he was still able to sit up today.
All the suspicions on him had been cleared, and he had advanced into the unprecedented 100th level of the Refinement Stage right in front of everybody. Although it was only for a moment, he had almost blown up Yan Xibei. Nobody in the six tribes of Iron Plateau was convinced by his valiant performance.
He declined again and again, saying that he had the bloodline of a space star. Moreover, his capability had hit rock bottom. However, everybody in the Furious Bears Tribe had unanimously decided that he would continue to be the chief!
Therefore, before he recovered from his serious illness, the ward had almost become an office.
The ward, which was usually crowded with people, was unusually quiet at this moment. Only Sha Yulan and Wu Mayan were there.
Although Xiong Wuji's hair was white and he was thin, he was in good spirits. He was somewhat excited.
Li Yao smiled. "What's wrong, Chief Xiong? Has something good happened to you?"
Xiong Wuji grinned, but he seemed to be at a loss. Li Yao was slightly dazed.
Sha Yulan explained with a smile, "Captain Lei brought us a file just now. It is the list of the crew members of the starship that crashed near the Iron Plateau Space Zone more than fifty years ago, including the passengers and the crew members. All the names, files, and photos are stored in this crystal processor. "
Li Yao thought for a moment and immediately realized that if Xiong Wuji was really from a space star... Then his family must be on this list.
No wonder the tough man was so anxious!
Sha Yulan looked at Xiong Wuji and smiled. "Big Xiong is a bit nervous. Let's help him look for his parents!"
"Yes. Let's help Father Xiong look for his parents and see who they are exactly!"
Wu Mayan jumped for joy. "They must be great heroes just like Father Xiong!"
Li Yao smiled and said quickly, "Alright. Let's help Chief Xiong look for his parents!"
Sha Yulan turned on her crystal processor and summoned a light beam. She filtered the information and displayed the 3D photos one after another. She smiled and said, "Just now, I glanced through the information. One starship and two carriers crashed near the Iron Plateau Space Zone. There's no telling whether they were caught in a cosmic storm or looted by space pirates, but not a single screw was found in the end.
"On the missing starship, there were 224 passengers with their children. Thirteen of them were twins, three of whom were Cultivators.
"Here, this is Fei Kuo from the Fire Cloud Sect. He is a Cultivator at the peak of the Building Foundation Stage. It is said that he is a renowned hero in the Grand Valiant Space Zone!"
A brawny man with a square face and a full beard appeared on the light screen. He looked majestic and dignified.
Wu Mayan blinked and mumbled, "He does look a bit like Father Xiong. So, Father Xiong's father is really a hero. No wonder Father Xiong is so awesome!"
Xiong Wuji finally couldn't help but turn around. He held his breath and observed carefully. After a long time, he hesitated and said, "Yes, he does. But let's check the others first."
"Alright."
Sha Yulan was very patient. She displayed the information of all the passengers with the twins on the light beam.
Cultivators at first, ordinary people next.
Xiong Wuji frowned and fell silent.
When the 3D photo of the ninth passenger popped up on the light beam, Sha Yulan, Wu Mayan, and Li Yao exclaimed at the same time.
Similar!
The passenger looked too similar to Xiong Wuji right now!
Although his body was not very muscular, his back was straight, and his eyes were narrow, long, and clear!
Looking at the photo and looking at Xiong Wuji himself, they were almost identical.
Xiong Wuji's eyes immediately turned red. He said hoarsely, "This — this should be my father … What's his name? Who is he?"
Sha Yulan glanced at the information and replied, "His name is Xiong Xiangrong. He is a teacher and an ordinary person."
"What a surprise."
Wu Mayan bulged his eyes and mumbled in a low voice, "Father Xiong's father is an ordinary person …"
"Hahahaha!"
Xiong Wuji finally couldn't help but laugh so hard that tears were flowing out of his eyes. "I didn't know that my surname is really Xiong. Wonderful. Wonderful …"
Seeing that he was crying in joy, Li Yao recalled his own background and had complicated feelings, too. He flicked Wu Mayan's forehead softly and said, "What's wrong with being an ordinary person? Iron Plateau natives, space residents, ordinary people, and Cultivators are all human beings, aren't they? "
Wu Mayan exclaimed and covered his forehead. Suddenly, he rolled his eyes and said, "Uncle Sand Scorpion, Father Xiong has found his father. Let's leave him and my mother here to celebrate. Let's get out of here. I have something to ask you!"
"Oh?"
Li Yao smiled. He had guessed what the boy was going to say. He said to Sha Yulan, "Sister Sha, Chief Xiong's biological father has been found. You can take your time to study the detailed files. Ah Yan and I are going to take a walk outside!"
The two of them left the ward and walked to the pond deep inside the yard.
"Uncle Sand Scorpion, do you mean what you said?"
Wu Mayan's eyes were glittering. He shouted, "You said that you would recruit me as your disciple if we were both alive after the battle of the apocalypse! Now that I've survived two battles of the apocalypse, you won't go back on your word, will you? "
Li Yao replied, "Of course, I mean what I say. But as I said, I won't recruit you as my disciple unless you can remain calm after being bitten by ants."
"No problem!"
His hands on his waist, Wu Mayan gnashed his teeth. "As long as you are willing to recruit me as your disciple, I can even be bitten by a tiger, not just ants. Come on!"
Li Yao squatted and said, "Give me one of your fingers."
Gnashing his teeth, Wu Mayan was prepared to die. He closed his eyes and extended his right index finger.
Very soon, he felt numb. He opened his eyes, only to discover that Li Yao had picked a few common ants from the pond and put them on his finger.
Wu Mayan was dazed. "What's the meaning of this?"
Li Yao smiled. "Nothing. I was planning to give you a hard time with another test. However, you have proved yourself in the fierce battle against Yan Xibei. When you drew your saber and charged at Yan Xibei without any hesitation, I've decided that I will recruit you as my disciple as long as you are willing!"
Li Yao's maximum combat ability right now was equal to the middle level and the high level of the Core Formation Stage. He was definitely qualified to establish his own sect. It was only natural that he recruited a disciple.
Wu Mayan was no more than fourteen years old, but he had already advanced into the 15th level of the Refinement Stage. Such a genius child would be a treasure that countless sects would fight for.
Li Yao had spent a few months with him and found him to be a decent guy. Now that he had offered himself to him, how could he turn him down?
Hearing Li Yao's promise, Wu Mayan was so excited that he somersaulted three times in a row. Then, he kneeled on the pebbles next to the pond and kowtowed three times, before he shouted, "Master!"
Li Yao scratched his head. In Ou Yezi's uncanny dream, he had tasted the feeling of being the leader of a sect. At that time, he had more than ten million disciples. Naturally, it was not a big deal for him to be called 'master'.
However, now that he had been kowtowed three times by Wu Mayan and called 'master', he had to be responsible.
Li Yao sorted through his lifelong knowledge for a long time, trying to select the techniques that were suitable for Wu Mayan.
Wu Mayan, on the other hand, asked respectfully, "Master, I've been thinking about a problem over the past few days. I can't figure it out no matter how hard I try. I want to ask my mother and Father Xiong, but I don't think they can understand it! I wonder, can you help me, master? "
"Oh?"
