"What? You are leaving?"
Inside the residence of the mayor of Furious Bears City, the mysterious smile on Xiong Wuji's and Lei Dalu's faces suddenly turned into bewilderment. They stared at Li Yao in bewilderment.
The Great Horn Exo Society had played an important role in the hostage rescue. Almost a hundred members had fought side by side with the qi-trainers and even sacrificed themselves for the mission. Therefore, the Great Horn Exo Society had a special place in the hearts of the Iron Plateau natives.
Before the delegation of the Cultivators arrived, the Great Horn Exo Society had always been the bridge between the two parties. Even after the official delegation made of the presidents and teachers of the two supreme colleges arrived, the Great Horn Exo Society was still playing an important role.
Many qi-trainers were still wary of the space visitors. Only the Cultivators who had shed blood and been wounded together with them like the Great Horn Exo Society could win their trust.
Over the past month, Lei Dalu and Xiong Wuji had a lot of business dealings. The two of them had become good friends because of their congenial temperaments.
A moment ago, the two of them had been smiling, as if they were going to surprise Li Yao. But as it turned out, it was Li Yao who had brought them a great surprise.
Li Yao raised his eyebrow and said, "What's the problem? I told Chief Xiong a long time ago that I was forced to land on Iron Plateau and had to stay because of the series of events that happened later.
"All the problems have been solved now.
"The Burning Sun Tribe has elected a new chief. After more than a month of repeated investigations, many spies of the Temple of Immortals have been exposed. It is only a matter of time before all of them are captured.
"The Cultivators of the Flying Star Sector have also shipped a batch of medical cabins to Iron Plateau in an emergency. Many qi-trainers who were heavily wounded in the battle have received the best treatment.
"You have also established the 'Association of Binary Communication'. The large-scale communication between the two parties is about to be carried out.
"I won't be of much help even if I stay on Iron Plateau.
"Besides, I didn't tell the whole truth in the Truth Cabinet that day. I've been feeling uneasy. Too much delay means too much trouble. It won't be good if I'm exposed. "
Li Yao spoke frankly. Xiong Wuji and Lei Dalu were both clear about his background. Naturally, they knew that he couldn't have been born and raised on Iron Plateau.
Lei Dalu and Xiong Wuji looked at each other. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Li Yao, there is a question that the two of us have been holding back for a long time. How did you pass? Is there really any magical equipment that can interfere with the operation of the Truth Cabinet?
Li Yao was silent for a moment.
He had discussed this issue with Professor Mo Xuan and the others for a long time. The conclusion was that there was no benefit in revealing his true identity now.
It was not that he didn't trust Lei Dalu and Xiong Wuji, but the key was the Temple of Immortals.
Although the plan on Iron Plateau had failed, the Temple of Immortals still boasted enormous strength in secret. If Yan Xibei was not lying, the Mountain Sea Black Lotus, the other three leaders of the Temple of Immortals other than himself, would be able to do so. They were all Yuanying level super experts. What was worse was that he didn't even know their identities.
If Li Yao revealed his true identity to the public, saying that he was actually from another Sector and had mastered many techniques and magical equipment that were unheard of in the Flying Star Sector, he would definitely become one of the most important targets of the Temple of Immortals. It would be impossible for him to train and develop in peace.
"I can't produce any magical equipment that can interfere with the Truth Cabinet."
Li Yao rolled his eyes and said, "However, the Truth Cabinet is a dead object after all. There are many ways to circumvent it. Perhaps every word I said was true. I just messed up the order and missed out on the most important words. "
"Let me give you an example, Chief Xiong. Has it ever occurred to you that if you are a space resident who grew up on Iron Plateau, is it possible that there is an Iron Plateau native who grew up in space as well?
"Wouldn't such a person be able to pass the test of the Truth Cabinet?"
Xiong Wuji and Lei Dalu were both dazed. It was a possibility that they had never considered before.
Li Yao scratched his hair and said, "Of course, my background is not so honorable after all. But it doesn't matter now. I'm planning to leave Iron Plateau as soon as possible. I'll have to ask Captain Lei to help me find a starship to Heavenly Saints City."
Lei Dalu's eyes were glittering as he asked, "You are going to Heavenly Saints City? With what identity? "
"Of course I'm going to Heavenly Saints City. Didn't you already know that, Captain Lei?"
Li Yao said matter-of-factly, "As for identity? Li Yao, my real identity, of course! Although there were some accidents in the Skyhill Sword Seminar, I've shown my capability after all! Right now, the world of Cultivators is in a mess. This is the best time for Exos to show their talents. I don't think that the three Crystal Suit Centers will turn me down, will they? "
Lei Dalu's eyes were even deeper than before. He asked, "Are you interested in the production of Crystal Suit?"
Li Yao replied, "Not just the Crystal Suit. I'm interested in any magical equipment. Of course, the more advanced, the better."
Lei Dalu said, "Then, what about the cutting-edge theories about magical equipment? Although the three Crystal Suit Centers are good at practical work, I'm afraid that their theoretical knowledge is not as profound as that of the two highest colleges, right? "
Li Yao found it odd. "Of course. But why are you telling me all this, Captain Lei?"
Lei Dalu coughed and looked at Xiong Wuji. He was about to say something when he heard deafening gongs and drums outside, as if it were the New Year celebration.
"Let's go. We can talk about leaving Iron Plateau later. Let's go out and take a look."
Xiong Wuji and Lei Dalu seemed to have foreseen that such a team would arrive. They dragged Li Yao out of the mayor's residence.
On the main street, saluting cannons boomed, releasing resplendent fireworks and sprinkling golden powder into the air.
Two war drums of the Giant Axe Tribe cleared the way, followed by the teams of the other five tribes except for the Furious Bears Tribe. All the tribes had put down their flags as a sign of respect for the Furious Bears Tribe.
All the war drums were decorated in red and green, with the bones of demon beasts as decorations, turning them into colorful cars.
The qi-trainers on the war drums were wearing glamorous battle robes made of animal skins and feathers. They were playing gongs and drums happily.
On the largest True Qi tank in the middle of the war drums was a giant pillar more than ten meters tall and almost three meters in diameter. When the war drums slowly drove to the front of the mayor's residence, the muscular men shouted. Dense white mist spurted out of the True Qi tank, and the giant pillar more than ten meters thick slowly rose up!
The giant pillar was a natural wood made of 'Gold Fir', a rarely-seen ancient tree on Iron Plateau.
When the sun was shining, gold brightness was flowing out of the bark of the Gold Fir and winding around the giant pillar, making it look like gold scales. It was quite a beautiful sight.
On the giant pillar, the bones of strange beasts were inlaid and pieced together to form four large words that were threatening and threatening.
"Invincible on Iron Plateau!"
"Ha!"
Li Yao gasped, his eyes glittering. "How bold. What does this mean?"
"The Furious Bears Tribe has made great contributions in the incident, and they were wronged by the other five tribes, too.
"This is a sign of the five tribes' gratitude and apology. It also means that they will follow the Furious Bears Tribe's lead until the next battle of the apocalypse!"
Xiong Wuji smiled and said, "Especially the Burning Sun Tribe. The incident was caused by the Burning Sun Tribe anyway. Therefore, they are offering the extremely precious Gold Fir as an apology!
"The Gold Fir is not only beautiful but also has the effect of condensing spiritual energy. If the giant pillar stands in the middle of Furious Bears City, it will be of great help to anyone who trains within several thousand square meters. The Burning Sun Tribe is already showing their sincerity by offering such an apology!
"As for 'invincible in Iron Plateau', it's very simple. The other five tribes are paying tribute to the 'best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau' and thanking him for saving hundreds of qi-trainers and averting a catastrophe with all his efforts!
"That explains a lot."
Li Yao nodded his head and remarked, "Chief Xiong has done so much for Iron Plateau and advanced into the unprecedented 100th level of the Refinement Stage. You do deserve to be called 'invincible on Iron Plateau'!"
Xiong Wuji eyed him in a weird way and suddenly said, "What? Do you think that I am the 'best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau'?"
Li Yao was dazed. "Are you not?"
Xiong Wuji smiled casually and said, "I was heavily wounded in the battle against Yan Xibei. I could barely continue to be the leader of the Furious Bears Tribe. I don't think I deserve to be called 'invincible on Iron Plateau'!"
Li Yao bulged his eyes and blurted out, "Even you, who once advanced into the 100th level of the Refinement Stage, cannot be called the 'best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau'. Who else deserves such a title?"
Xiong Wuji stared at Li Yao in silence.
Lei Dalu stared at Li Yao in silence.
Li Yao blinked and tilted his head, thinking for a long time. Fine …
Before he could say anything, over a hundred of the most elite warriors from the five major clans slapped their chests together and roared at the top of their lungs.
"The Burning Sun Tribe pays tribute to the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau!"
"The Giant Axe Tribe pays tribute to the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau!"
"The Feathered Snakes Tribe pays tribute to the best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau!"
Many bare-chested strong men with bulging muscles carried heavy boxes from the chariots and opened them in front of thousands of onlookers. Inside the boxes were a dazzling array of rare treasures from different tribes.
Before Li Yao went to the Truth Cabinet, the chief of the Feathered Snakes Tribe had promised that the Feathered Snakes Tribe would compensate him with a lot of trophies from the battle of the apocalypse if his innocence was proved.
The chiefs of the other four tribes had made similar promises, too.
In the meantime, not only had Li Yao proven himself, he had also killed Yan Xibei and reversed the situation.
Therefore, not only had the other five tribes fulfilled their promise, they had also offered double the treasures of their tribes to express their gratitude to Li Yao, the new 'best warrior of the six tribes of Iron Plateau'!
Seeing that almost a hundred super muscular men were staring at him in admiration, Li Yao's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. He said, "What do you think will happen if I tell you right now that what I said in the Truth Cabinet was not necessarily the truth, that I am not a barbarian from the Dark Continent, that I haven't lived on Iron Plateau for long, and that the cave that they found a while ago, where I used to live, was fake and was set up by me in advance?"
