Taibai is a purely landlocked country.
There is no coastline.
If you want to go out to sea, you have to ask for permission from neighboring countries.
Of course, you can also choose to take the air route by plane.
But in today's era, flying equipment is no longer relevant to civilians.
Taking into account aspects such as anti-interference and anti-raptor birds, the cost of each aircraft is generally over tens of billions or even hundreds of billions.
Not to mention ordinary people, even for star refiners it is very difficult to get a chance to take a plane.
Most high-level star refiners may have never been on a plane in their entire lives.
At this time, in the largest air force base in Taibai.
All the free great star refiners in Taibai were waiting at the scene.
Even the great star refiners who were busy found time and rushed to the airport.
In addition, there are more than a dozen top star refiners who have high status in the country.
Su Mai was among them.
Even the lowest-ranking of these welcoming people has the power to influence an entire state in the Taibai Kingdom...
The only exception is probably the sixth princess Su Feiyu.
Apart from being a "princess", she is just a top martial arts saint.
The Taibai royal family has princesses, if not a hundred or eighty, there are definitely a dozen or twenty of them, but they are still not as good as a lord of a garrison mansion who is at the top level of a star refiner.
Although her importance was not worth mentioning, those who chatted with her were all, without exception, Great Star Master-level strongmen, and their attitudes were so friendly that it seemed as if they were on equal terms and could chat and laugh with each other.
During the conversation, a top star refiner suddenly said, "Here they are, almost here."
Suddenly, Su Changge, the "Emperor Emeritus" who had the highest status among the five great star refiners, was in high spirits and immediately said, "Everyone, follow me to welcome them."
At that moment, everyone left the VIP lounge on the departure floor and got on vehicles heading into the airport.
On a runway specially used to welcome distinguished guests, a welcoming team was already waiting there.
The docking area is covered with bright red carpet.
As Su Changge led Su Dongfeng and other personnel to arrive, a military transport plane was slowly entering the runway and heading towards the designated location.
When the plane came to a complete stop, figures walked out from it.
The one walking in the front was none other than Li Pin, a pioneer of the Martial God Path who had rushed over from the Star Martial God Temple on the other side of the continent, a newly-crowned legend, the strongest being, and nicknamed "Martial Ancestor".
As he got off the plane, salutes and music sounded simultaneously.
Su Changge, Su Dongfeng and others also stepped forward one by one and greeted him warmly: "Palace Master Li, welcome back to Taibai. Everyone in Taibai will cheer for your return."
"Master Su, you are too polite."
Li Yin said.
The two sides exchanged greetings.
Su Changge introduced to Li Pin the other three great star masters besides Su Dongfeng.
Li Bin greeted them one by one.
These three people were not all from the Taibai royal family. Since it was their first time meeting Li Bin, and Li Bin carried the honors of a legend, the strongest, and the Martial Ancestor, a simple greeting made the great star masters feel flattered.
After greeting a few people, he nodded again to Su Mai, the top star refiner, and then turned to Su Feiyu and said, "Long time no see."
A simple greeting that couldn't be simpler made the somewhat reserved Su Feiyu's pretty face turn red immediately, and she spoke without the usual crispness and directness: "Hello... Long time no see..."
"Martial Saint? Very fast progress."
Li Pin said.
He really meant what he said.
After all, it has only been more than two years since the World's No. 1 Martial Arts Tournament.
It is indeed remarkable that she could achieve the status of Martial Saint in such a short time.
"Compared with Palace Master Li, my achievements are like a firefly compared to the bright moon. There is no possibility of comparison at all."
Su Feiyu said.
“Don’t underestimate yourself.”
Li Yin smiled and said, "You are already very good."
Of course, it is located within the territory of Taibai Kingdom.
If you look at the world...
That's all.
In front of everyone, Li Yin was not in a position to chat with Su Feiyu for a long time, so the group went straight to the business car that had been prepared long ago.
Following Li Bin were Li Yunyao, Xingying, and the team led by Xie Longcheng.
Among these three people, Li Yunyao was on his way home.
Xingying has always served as Li Bin's life assistant.
As for the deputy hall master of Xingwu Temple, Xie Longcheng, and his team, they represent Xingwu Temple.
Looking at the welcoming lineup put up by the Taibai Kingdom, the King of Taibai who came to greet them in person, and the fighter jets parked around the military base, if it were the old Li Yunyao, she would probably have taken out her cell phone the first moment, taken a few photos, posted them on WeChat Moments, attracted a lot of praise, and satisfied her vanity.
but…
The time when Li Bin disappeared had left her with a deep feeling, and coupled with the fact that she had been with Li Bin for some time, and had been influenced by the powerful people who came and went with him, her mind gradually calmed down.
No longer as naive as before.
She and Xingying took the initiative to accept Su Feiyu's company and got into another business car.
Li Pin, together with Su Changge and Su Dongfeng, got on the car that was parked closest to the nearest location.
With police cars leading the way and top star refiners escorting, the convoy quickly drove out of the airport and headed towards the Taibai Palace.
In the car, Su Changge smiled and said, "Palace Master Li, according to your request, we have made a series of arrangements for your itinerary. Please allow us to warmly welcome you at the palace dinner. We originally planned to taste the unique food of the capital and visit some special attractions the next day. However, since you think this is unnecessary, we will rest for a night and then set off for Jiangzhou..."
Speaking of this, he felt a little regretful.
Strictly speaking, Li Pin had never stayed in Taibai Wangdu.
After all, he didn't participate in the national competition.
Under such circumstances, he naturally had no feelings for the capital of Taibai Kingdom. Even after landing in the capital, he was not willing to stay for a day to take a look.
"Jiangzhou..."
Li Yin thought for a while and said, "Let's wait for a while. Let's skip the next step and go directly to Death Valley tomorrow."
"Going straight to Death Valley tomorrow?"
Su Changge was slightly stunned.
"Yes. As far as I know, there are more and more ferocious beasts and monsters in the Death Valley. They are no longer hiding like before. They launch several attacks on the edge of the fortress almost every day, causing many casualties. Every day I delay here, the casualties of ordinary soldiers will be greater. Therefore, the sooner this dangerous place is resolved, the better."
Li Yin paused as he spoke: "This is also a gift I give to the people of Taibai after returning to Taibai after nearly two years."
"Thank you, Lord Li, for your consideration for the soldiers. I would like to thank you on behalf of all the soldiers."
Su Dongfeng bowed solemnly.
“You’re welcome.”
Li Pin said.
Speaking of Death Valley, he couldn't help but think of the information he got when he first saw "Death Valley".
At that time, Taibai was recruiting Baodan, Lian Gang and Wusheng to go to Death Valley for investigation, and the daily salary was between 10,000 and 1 million.
If any additional important information is discovered, there will be additional rewards.
Although he was short of money at that time, he had not yet reached the level of Baodan, so he could not sign up even if he wanted to.
I didn’t expect that today…
But he wants to go deep into the Death Valley on his own and try to flatten this dangerous place.
Yes.
Flatten this dangerous place!
The greater the ability and power, the greater the responsibility.
It is undeniable that many great star masters and legends hold high positions of power and control the life and death of humankind.
But no one has ever been able to deny the responsibility they bear.
Even though Fu Qingtian had some conflicts with Li Yin, he had been following the special team since its establishment, conquering the Fallen Temple, destroying the Boneyard, and smashing the Corpse Demon Cave until now...
They are also continuously clearing out the monsters outside the Bull Demon Temple.
In this sense, he never backed down from the responsibilities he had to shoulder.
Li Bin has not yet joined the Human Alliance, and the Star Martial Temple has not officially enjoyed the benefits it deserves. In theory, he can still slack off for a while.
But he still came to Death Valley at this time.
on the one hand…
As he said, it is a gift to the people of Taibai.
on the other hand…
Strength is gained through fighting.
Although the fight with Xiao Qianyuan was very enjoyable, fighting against a legendary figure of the Star Refiner system...
He always felt like something was missing.
Although the level of Death Valley is not high, it is filled with a large number of monsters. The key is that among these monsters there are a large number of lord-level monsters - a creature called the evil beetle.
This kind of creature, with a HP value of over a thousand, has a strong physique and amazing defense, and even great star masters find it difficult to kill it.
Once surrounded by several such lord-level creatures, even if the Great Star Refiner transforms into starlight, he will be devoured by the other side.
Monsters evolve by devouring star power.
Astral body, the high-energy form of the Star Refiner, is almost equivalent to the most digestible food for monsters.
The life map cannot be restored.
…
In the following period of time, Li Bin accepted the invitation and attended the banquet, which was considered a meeting with the top leaders of Taibai.
But that's all.
Not to mention the top star refiners in Taibai, even the great star refiners were inferior to him. His willingness to attend the banquet was already a great honor to Taibai, and the Taibai royal family was also grateful for this.
The next morning, Li Pin left Li Yunyao and Xingying behind, and took Xinghui, Su Dongfeng, Su Changge and others with him, heading straight for the Valley of Death.
And in the fortress in Death Valley.
Xiang Tianxing, as well as the great star refiners, top star refiners, and high-level star refiners who are stationed here, have been waiting for a long time.
Under the leadership of Li Bin, they will go deep into the Death Valley and kill as many monsters as possible to make them lose the courage to spread outward.
It would be best if we could find out the reason for the increase in the number of monsters and solve it, so that Death Valley can return to peace.
