Chapter 130 (continued)

Then he will notify the Star Plundering Society headquarters, and this fire fox hybrid will surely die!

The Golden Rat Clan found it increasingly reasonable.

He was still crying and begging for mercy, but he was already secretly gathering strength.

Li Yang keenly sensed that the Golden Rat Clan was staring at Lianxin.

What's going on?

Can he see through Lianxin's disguise?

This startled Li Yang. In that brief moment of surprise, the Golden Rat Clan made their move, heading straight for Lianxin.

An unnamed rage surged into the sky. Li Yang acted swiftly. She didn't have time to use her Risking Life, nor could she even summon Chen Ri. Instead, she activated Frenzy and unleashed the Severing Space Frenzy Technique with her bare hands, then froze the entire alleyway with the Scythe of Ice.

All of this happened so fast that the Golden Rat Clan was stunned.

He had barely touched the toy and hadn't even pulled his hand back when he was frozen in place.

Moreover... his hand was severed by the overwhelming Severing Space of air currents!

"Ah!" The Golden Rat Clan was filled with fear, realizing that the Fire Fox hybrid before them truly possessed extremely terrifying strength.

Without further hesitation, Li Yang grasped Chen Ri and killed the cunning Golden Rat Clan on the spot.

Everything returned to calm.

The system did not indicate that there were Star Skill available to learn.

In reality, the Golden Rat Clan's Star Skill might not be that advanced; they simply combine them into a combination of latent Star Skill, much like the combos used in the Star Combat Department.

This requires consuming too many Star Aperture to achieve such a powerful effect.

There are too many things to give up. If Li Yang doesn't want to become a notorious thief, there's no need for him to study.

After carefully cleaning up the scene, Li Yang quickly left the place.

She drove Concealment for two or three blocks before stopping.

This Single-Horn Domain is indeed extraordinary.

She had only been there for less than an hour when she received a death threat.

Li Yang looked at Lianxin with concern and asked, "Lianlian, has he seen through you?"

Lianxin said, "Fellow Daoist, he may have just stumbled upon it by chance, guessing that I am a secret treasure that allows you to unleash your Eighth Grade Realm strength."

As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion, but Lianxin's analysis was actually clearer.

Li Yang quickly understood.

This Golden Rat Clan member is quite clever; he realized that Li Yang wasn't truly at the Eighth Grade Realm, which is why he dared to make another move.

It's a pity that although Li Yang is not at the Eighth Grade Realm, her strength is enough to easily defeat the Golden Rat Clan, who have little offensive capability.

Li Yang asked, "Lianlian, why don't you go into the backpack?"

Before Lianxin could speak, she preemptively rejected the plan, saying, "No, a backpack would be even more conspicuous."

"It's alright, fellow Daoist!" Lianxin said firmly, "Even if I'm stolen away, I'll wait for you to come find me."

Hearing his cowardly yet adorable words, Li Yang couldn't help but laugh, "Don't worry, no one can steal you from me!"

Li Yang dared not let her guard down. After making sure no one was around, she leaned against a dimly lit corner and took out her communicator.

The informant's name was a code name: Qing Teng.

Li Yang contacted her, and the other party replied quickly with a cheerful female voice, "Share your location, I'll come find you!"

This is one of the advantages of having a communicator.

Furthermore, this communicator was loaded with a map of the Single-Horn Domain, so Li Yang could share her location with Qing Teng.

About fifteen minutes later.

A petite, short-haired girl dressed in brown ran over.

She had a pair of golden rat ears and round, bright eyes, clearly resembling a member of the Golden Rat Clan.

Li Yang's heart leaped into her throat as she was robbed by a Golden Rat Clan.

"I am Qing Teng!" As soon as the Golden Rat Clan girl spoke, Li Yang recognized her voice; it was indeed from the communicator.

Li Yang paused for a moment before saying, "Senior Qing Teng..."

Qing Teng waved her hand and said, "I am Professor Li's grand-disciple, so I should call you 'Master Aunt'!"

Li Yang: "..." Okay. Because of Professor Li, she has an exceptionally high seniority in the Pill Department.

Like Zhen You before, who was also Li Yaowan's grand-disciple, she also had to call Li Yang "Master Aunt".

Qing Teng seemed to notice Li Yang's unusual behavior and asked, "This place is far from the teleportation point. How did you end up here? Did something happen to you?"

Li Yang explained, "As soon as I stepped out of the teleportation array, a little thief from the Golden Rat Clan almost stole my communicator..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qing Teng suddenly realized, "No wonder you get nervous as soon as you see me!"

Qing Teng didn't think too much about it.

Even if she were good at imagining things, let alone being bad at it, she couldn't possibly imagine what Li Yang had just done.

Qing Teng instructed Li Yang, "The Single-Horn Domain isn't as peaceful as our Huaxia Realm Domain; it's very chaotic here! The Golden Rat Clan is good at stealing, the Flying Eagle Clan likes to rob openly, and you also need to be careful of the Fire Fox Clan and the Succubus Clan; those two love to sleep with you and then run away..."

I've learned something new!

"I'll be careful," Li Yang replied earnestly, keeping Qing Teng's words in mind.

Qing Teng was away from home most of the year and had only heard of Li Yang by name but never met him.

She looked her over curiously for a moment, then said, "I know you're talented and strong, but there are always people more capable than you, so you still need to be careful."

Thinking back on what had just happened, Li Yang nodded solemnly and said, "I understand."

"The people in this Single-Horn Domain are all lawless madmen. There are a lot of messy and evil organizations here... In short, let's not provoke them, lest we invite unnecessary trouble."

Li Yang: "..." She didn't want to provoke them, but if they insisted on killing her, she wouldn't be able to do anything about it.

However, since Li Yang left no survivors and wouldn't expose himself, there was no need for him to say anything that would worry Qing Teng.

Seeing her nod, Qing Teng felt that this little junior nun was cute and harmless, and particularly likable.

She couldn't help but give a few more instructions before saying, "Lu Yanbie use the alias 'Xiao Lu.' He should disguise himself as a female fire fox hybrid..."

Li Yang: "..."

She couldn't help but think of Jiang Yuqing.

Jiang Yuqing also liked to dress up as a woman back then, not because he had any special fetish, but simply to gain Shock Points.

Later, after he caught up with Li Yang, he no longer cared about the Shock Points he gained by dressing up as a woman, and gradually returned to normal.

Lu Yanbie didn't have any particular fetish; he was just trying to better disguise himself.

Qing Teng opened her communicator and showed Li Yang many photos she had secretly taken.

Lu Yanbie as a tall, slender fire fox hybrid.

Beneath her fox ears were long, vibrant red curly hair; her skin was fair and radiant; her features were striking and striking; and her eyes were a beautiful emerald green, possessing an alluring charm.

Qing Teng pulled out another photo and said, "This is what he originally looked like."

That's a side profile photo.

Lu Yanbie in the photo is very tall and has a solid build. Although he is not muscular, he clearly exercises regularly.

He had a very short buzz cut, strong and resolute features, wore a black vest, and had a classic inverted triangle physique, exuding masculinity.

Li Yang paused for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "Is this really the same person?"

"One hundred percent!" Qing Teng looked at the alluring fire fox hybrid again and said, "If I couldn't discern a person's Spirit Sea, I would also doubt that I've followed the wrong person."

It can even distinguish a person's Spirit Sea...

Li Yang has learned something new again.

However, since it involved Qing Teng's personal abilities, Li Yang didn't ask further, but instead asked, "Lu Yanbie possess a disguise Star Skill?"

"He used a secret artifact that can change one's appearance; it's probably very expensive, but the cost is unknown."

The abilities of these secret treasures are truly ever-changing.

There are indeed Star Curse that can change one's appearance, but firstly, they are used infrequently, and secondly, they are easily detected.

Therefore, it's far less useful than a secret treasure.

Qing Teng continued, "After dark, go to the Illusory Mist Tavern. I'll tell you the code. Once you have the letter of recommendation, go to the third basement level. There's a registration desk for the Life-and-Death Battle there. Lu Yanbie should be there to register."

Then Qing Teng recounted the details of the Life-and-Death Battle.

This is the most distinctive feature of the Single-Horn Domain, and one of the reasons why many people come here specifically to visit.

The so-called "Life-and-Death Battle" involves placing applicants into a small, artificially created secret realm.

The secret realm wasn't very large, about a few city blocks in size.

The sole purpose of those who enter is to kill.

Each kill earns you 1000 merit points.

Upon hearing this, Li Yang frowned slightly.

1000 merit points is a considerable income for an ordinary Star Wielders.

But that doesn't justify such a massive killing spree.

Qing Teng further explained, "... the reward for killing someone is the smallest; the lion's share comes from live stream tips and the commission after betting opens."

Li Yang understood.

The 1000 merit points are just an appetizer; the live-streaming tipping is probably the real source of the madness.

Qing Teng scrolled through the communicator, found the rankings from the last Life-and-Death Battle, and introduced them to Li Yang: "This is a very famous player from last time, who earned 10 million merit points in live stream donations for a single match."

Li Yang: "!"

No wonder Lu Yanbie wanted to make a quick buck.

Even though Li Yang has many ways to make money now, his heart still skipped a beat when he heard about the 10 million merit points.

Li Yang actually found it hard to understand. She had heard of cases in her previous life where a single live stream could generate tens of millions in donations.

However, she was poor, and she couldn't imagine why anyone would treat money so carelessly.

Qing Teng noticed her confusion and explained, "We value 10 million merit points highly, but for some powerful figures who monopolize an entire Realm Domain... 10 million merit points is equivalent to 1,000 merit points in our hands."

Li Yang: "..." That hurts!

Qing Teng continued, "The path of cultivation becomes increasingly difficult as you progress. Many Grandmaster, seeing no hope of advancement, will squander their resources recklessly. The organizers of the Single-Horn Domain seized this opportunity and created this Life-and-Death Battle."

Li Yang was finally able to understand a little bit of it.

She didn't like this way of making money; she preferred to earn money honestly by farming.
