Chapter 80 (continued)

"I understand, thank you for reminding me."

Shen Binghua's news was crucial, giving Li Yang a clearer understanding of the dangers that lay ahead.

First, the Astral Realm creatures inside the Divine Miracle are undoubtedly very dangerous.

Secondly, it could target the people behind the Agronomy Department, possibly by bribing a ten-person squad to annihilate the Agronomy Department.

Furthermore, although the Descending Star Cult has fallen apart, remnants still exist, and they may seize this opportunity to retaliate against the Agronomy Department and the Star Combat Department.

This Divine Miracle journey was indeed fraught with danger.

But Li Yang still wanted to go.

How can you catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger's den?

If she's afraid of battles between people of the same realm, she'll find it even harder to move an inch when she goes to the Astral Realm.

Her teacher has set the best example for her.

We are not afraid of war, nor are we dreading war.

Just as the teacher used the rituals of the Descending Star Cult in return, she also wanted to follow the clues and find the person behind the ambush through the people who ambushed her!

There's no such thing as a thief who can be caught a thousand days in the act, let alone a thief who can guard against thieves a thousand days in the act.

Li Yang could not rest easy as long as the thief remained alive.

Li Yang did not reveal her Vest Star Skill Star Skill, which she had already raised to level three and was very effective.

Unless you have Star Wielders at the Fifth Grade Realm, don't even think about seeing through her Vest.

Vest and Hidden Shadow are a perfect match.

The Vest can only simulate appearance, but it cannot change the state of the Star Aperture, but the Hidden Shadow can.

For example, Li Yang currently has nine Star Aperture. Logically, she can only disguise herself as someone of the same realm. However, with the Hidden Shadow skill, she can also hide her Star Aperture and pretend to be a Second Grade Middle Stage or even low-level Star Wielders.

This disguise not only increases safety but also allows one to infiltrate the group and gather information.

Since Li Yang had already summoned Shen Binghua, she couldn't just let her go back like that.

Li Yang said, "Teacher Shen, I want to go to the Divine Miracle."

Shen Binghua just wanted to roll his eyes. "If you're determined to court death, I can't stop you."

Li Yang immediately replied, "How could you possibly not have a say in this?"

"I told you not to go, but you wouldn't listen!"

"I may not listen, but you can't just ignore it!" Li Yang continued with a smile, "You can't just talk the talk; you have to take action."

Shen Binghua: "..."Are you just going to leave her here?

Li Yang said, "Look at me now, I don't even have any self-defense equipment, let alone those expensive Star Artifact and Star Curse."

Shen Binghua: "..." She had a million curse words, but she couldn't say them out of embarrassment.

Li Yang added, "Teacher Shen, if you give me a set of heart-protecting armor and a few useful Star Artifact, my teacher will definitely know that you're taking good care of me. No matter what happens in the end, he won't blame you."

Shen Binghua's face looked as if it had been splashed with paint, a truly colorful mess.

"You've got some nerve, trying to blackmail me, huh?"

"How can you say that? I am your beloved junior. Seeing that we are about to leave such a dangerous place and face so many wicked people with ulterior motives, you are worried sick. But you also know that jade cannot become a useful object without being carved, and a person is useless without being trained."

"So no matter how worried you were, you still hoped I could bravely face the challenges! In the end, you transformed your worries and anxieties into a set of protective armor filled with love, and several Star Artifacts that could lend me a helping hand..."

As she spoke, Li Yang became so moved that she wiped away her barely contained tears and said, "Isn't that right, Teacher Shen? This is how you feel!"

Shen Binghua: "My feelings are..." Go to hell!

"I know, I know all of that. You're reserved and can't express your inner beauty, so... well, I'm waiting for your breastplate and Star Artifact!"

Shen Binghua stared intently at her.

Li Yang smiled again and said, "Teacher Shen, it's a sure-fire way to make money; I won't lose money investing in you."

Shen Binghua sneered, "Do you take me for Li Yaowan?"

Li Yang chuckled and said, "You're no match for Professor Li."

Shen Binghua was furious. "You..."

Li Yang wasn't afraid of her and just looked at her with a smile.

Shen Binghua gritted his teeth and said, "I can give you a set of breastplates and a few handy Star Artifact, but you have to promise me one thing."

"Tell me first," she said, then added, "I'm young and insignificant, and I can't make decisions on many things, especially regarding the Tree Tower..."

"It has nothing to do with the Tree Tower!" Shen Binghua said seriously. "You find a way to get clues about the person behind this, and tell me who he is."

A thought struck Li Yang, and she said half-jokingly, "Teacher Shen, you wouldn't be thinking of assassinating him, would you?"

Shen Binghua said calmly, "Am I that kind of fool?"

Li Yang: "That's good."

She replied seriously, "Since we have a common enemy, I won't stand on ceremony with Teacher Shen. I'll try to find clues."

Shen Binghua Earth Spike her, "When have you ever been polite to me?"

Li Yang said matter-of-factly, "If I weren't being polite, I would have asked you for ten sets of breastplates, 20 purple Star Artifact, 30..."

Before she could finish speaking, Shen Binghua had already vanished.

Li Yang called out loudly, "Teacher Shen, don't forget!"

Shen Binghua: "..." So annoying!

But this time, she did it willingly.

She hoped that Li Yang could follow the clues to find the person behind it all.

She couldn't kill Divine Exalt Daowu, but she wanted to kill the traitor who betrayed Cheng Rui.

For 28 years, she had been unable to find any clues, but this was a golden opportunity.

_

Li Yang hadn't mentioned the person behind the scenes to the students in the Department of the Agronomy Department before, but now she had no choice but to bring it up.

She gathered everyone together and solemnly stated, "28 years ago, someone betrayed the Nature Department..."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhaoqin and Ying Qi were furious. Ying Qi straightforward, immediately said, "I'll go back and ask Great-Grandma, she..."

Li Yang grabbed her arm and said, "This is a secret of the Nature Department. Don't tell anyone."

If Ying Qi can actually find out something when she goes back, that would be great.

But Li Yang knew very well that Ying Qi wouldn't get any information from her and would only alert the enemy.

Li Yang trusted Zhong Kun, Lin Zhaoqin, and even the newly joined Ying Qi and Wang Ruika, but she didn't trust the family members behind them.

The relationships between powerful families are intricate and intertwined; even those with the same surname may not be of one mind.

Although all four of them joined the Agronomy Department, they only managed to win over their immediate family members.

The person behind it all might be one of their relatives.

Even if they share the same surname, Lin, they could become mortal enemies due to internal family disputes.

Li Yang also laid all of this out and told them.

Ying Qi frowned. "If the Ying Family has such a person, I will definitely kill him with my own hands!"

Li Yang said, "I'm not sure, but everyone, please don't go back and talk about it yet. Give me some time to gather enough clues."

Either don't act at all, or act ruthlessly.

This is something Li Yang learned from her teacher.

After 28 years of silence, the Nature Department, with the spirit of slaying the Divine Venerable, once again lets the world see it!

Everyone nodded solemnly and agreed.

Although Ying Qi is straightforward, she keeps her promises; she will definitely do her best to fulfill what she has agreed to.

Li Yang added, "The reason I'm telling everyone this isn't so that I want you to do anything, but rather to warn you to be careful."

Zhong Kun's expression hardened, and he said, "Senior Sister, do you mean he'll attack us within the Divine Miracle?"

Li Yang nodded. "Every time we went on a breakthrough mission before, I asked Professor Shen to look after us. Of course, people from the Zhong Family and the Lin Family also accompanied us, so they didn't have a chance to intervene. But this time, going to the Divine Miracle... I think he will definitely lose his composure."

Lin Zhaoqin said, "But Divine Miracle can limit one's cultivation level..."

Li Yang asked her, "If five Peak Second Grade surrounded and attacked you, could you withstand it?"

Lin Zhaoqin's face paled, and he shook his head, saying, "I can't take it."

Everyone tensed up, realizing the seriousness of the situation.

Li Yang added, "It's unlikely we'll end up in the same place, nor can we expect to. So, if we're acting alone, we need to be even more careful."

She carefully gave everyone a few points to note. "First, avoid contact with strangers as much as possible, even if they look like students from the Zhongdu Military Academy;

"Secondly, once inside the Divine Miracle, you must find a way to disguise yourself and not reveal your appearance;

"Third, our target is the Astral Realm beings. We should avoid conflict with the humans as much as possible. If they attack us first, run away immediately."

Everyone nodded in agreement, but Lin Zhaoqin, furious, said, "Are we just going to put up with this?!"

Li Yang looked at her and said, "If you can advance to the Third Grade Fourth Stage, then try revealing yourself and see if anyone takes the bait."

Li Yang did not underestimate Lin Zhaoqin.

If she can improve her strength during the Divine Miracle, then she will have the confidence to reveal herself.

Li Yang also shared her plan with everyone, hoping they wouldn't act rashly, but if they absolutely had to do something, her plan could serve as a reference.

Li Yang said, "Let's improve our cultivation level first. The safest approach is to reach the Third Grade Fourth Stage."

That one sentence alone stunned everyone, including Lin Zhaoqin.

Ying Qi looked at Li Yang in astonishment. "Are you confident you can advance to the Third Grade Fourth Stage?"

Li Yang said, "My goal is to Third Grade Sixth Stage."

Everyone: "!!!"

They all knew their senior sister was amazing, but only now did they truly realize how vast the gap was between them.

The Third Grade Realm can be different from the Second Grade Realm.

The First Grade Realm and Second Grade Realm combined only have nine Star Aperture, which is equivalent to 900 Physique Points.

However, starting from the Third Grade Realm, three Star Aperture will be opened at each level.

A total of 30 Star Aperture need to be filled in the Third Grade Realm!

That's 3000 Physique Points!

This is terrible.

They wouldn't even dare to dream of it.
