Fiend Li had not died yet, but his injuries were quite severe, and several Lockbreakers helped him as he sat down in his bloodstained clothes. He then stood up and stared towards the sky before directing a rather blank look at Saul. “Is this what you wanted?”

Saul’s gaze twisted as he looked at Fiend Li. He finally answered in a low voice, “This is not my fault.”

Felynn denounced him furiously, saying, “Saul, if not for you playing tricks in the dark and preventing several Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreakers from coming for the competition, these thieves would not have gotten away! Because you fought against Senior Li, you allowed the Hall of Insight to collapse. Not only are you a sinner of Sourcepeak Planet, but you are a sinner of the entire Lockbreaker Society.”

“That’s right, a sinner!” one red-eyed Lockbreaker cursed, not caring about Saul’s identity at all.

“Sinner!”

“Sinner!”

…

Many echoed the sentiment.

Sometimes, a person would need to take responsibility for an incident, and at other times, people simply needed to vent their emotions. At this moment, under Felynn’s guidance, Saul had become the scapegoat for all of these people. Even if he was certain that Felynn was the one actually behind this unfortunate disaster, he had no way to defend himself.

Lu Yin stared at Saul’s lost expression. This old man had his own methods, and he may be adept in lockbreaking and cultivating, but he did not have the ability to take control of the present situation. He had been played by this woman, and this so-called “vice president” was finished.

Saul’s entire body trembled in the sky, and he gave Felynn a death glare. “I knew that it was you. I never thought that the one hidden the deepest would actually be you.”

Felynn barked, “Saul, stop trying to quibble! Everyone has already seen your actions. As the former vice president, you should actually assume responsibility instead of trying to push it away.”

Saul’s eyes narrowed and flashed with killing intent as he scanned through the crowd below him. Many Lockbreakers stared at him in indignation, looking as though they wanted to devour him whole.

Saul wanted to take action, but his entire being felt like a deflated balloon. He merely closed his eyes and unleashed his domain to look for Deng Pu. He could not continue acting as the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society’s Vice President any longer, but he still had a path forward with Deng Pu. If he could obtain the pages of True Insight and comprehend them, then he might be able to rely on his powerful abilities to enter the Lockbreaker Society’s Innerverse or even the Neoverse headquarters in the future, where he would then start anew.

However, he found that, strangely, Deng Pu had vanished.

Many others were also searching for Deng Pu, as he held three pages of True Insight, which was a priceless treasure. However, Deng Pu had seemingly vanished the moment Saul had started moving against Felynn. Not even a trace of his shadow had been seen throughout the course of the entire battle.

More and more criticisms entered Saul’s ears, and he wished that he could butcher Felynn right now. However, if he really did such a thing, then he would completely ruin his relationship with the society, and it would also sever any possibility of him reentering the society in the future.

Helpless, Saul could only leave, taking his grief, bewilderment, and a sharp killing intent with him.

Fiend Li’s expression was complex, and he sighed as he looked at the ruins of the Hall of Insight. It had only been a day, but the once overpowering Lockbreaker Society’s Outerverse headquarters had been completely destroyed, to the extent where even the symbolic Hall of Insight had been eradicated. He did not know what he should do at this moment.

Felynn saw that Saul was departing, and delight flashed through her eyes. If Saul left, then only Mr. Jun and Yi Feng would remain as people who could contest her for the position of president. Fiend Li was only an honorary vice president, so he did not qualify for the position.

As for Mr. Jun, he was still by Saul’s side and had already left. Meanwhile, Yi Feng—Hang on. Felynn suddenly thought of something. Where is Yi Feng?

“Senior, where has Yi Feng gone?” Felynn asked Fiend Li.

Fiend Li’s expression changed; that’s right, where was Yi Feng? When Fiend Li had been fighting against Saul, he had sent Yi Feng to reinforce the defenses at the Hall of Insight. With Yi Feng’s strength, he could not have been soundlessly eliminated even if he faced off against powerful opponents. But if that was the case, then where was he?

At this moment, someone gasped in surprise. “It’s Executive Yi Feng. He sent me a message.”

Quite a few people turned around to look, and even Fiend Li and Felynn glanced over.

“Executive Yi Feng said that since Sourcepeak Planet has been ruined and is no longer suitable for Lockbreakers to live, he has found a suitable planet for us in Armament Weave. There’s a radiance on that planet originating from a single sourcebox, and he has asked all Lockbreakers to head over there and check it out for themselves,” shared the Lockbreaker who had received Yi Feng’s notification. He was a two star Discerning Elementary Lockbreaker himself.

Beep beep beep!

Soon after that, others received the same message one after another. The contents of each message were identical, with Yi Feng asking Lockbreakers to head to Armament Weave to investigate this planet with a sourcebox.

Fiend Li and Felynn exchanged glances, and they each saw the puzzlement in the other’s eyes.

“Executive Yi Feng just sent another message. As long as one is a Lockbreaker and settles down on that planet, they’ll receive Armament Weave’s full support! At the same time, he has selflessly offered to share his many years of lockbreaking experience and will allow Lockbreakers to learn from him. He’s willing to forsake the previously conservative views!” one Lockbreaker said excitedly.

The various Lockbreakers hurriedly converged in groups to discuss this matter, though they did not actually care much about any kind of support. Ever since they had became Lockbreakers, their needs had been well-provided for, and they had practically no want for money. However, Executive Yi Feng’s many years of lockbreaking experience was invaluable, and it created an allure that these Lockbreakers could not resist.

More and more Lockbreakers received the messages, and they were soon back in high spirits. After all, not that many Lockbreakers had been born on Sourcepeak Planet itself, and most of them were not from Sourcepeak Planet or even Sourcepeak Weave. These people came from both the Innerverse and Outerverse, and to most of them, it made no difference where they settled down. Only a portion of the Lockbreakers were steadfast in their view that Sourcepeak Planet was the Lockbreaker Society’s Outerverse headquarters and that abandoning Sourcepeak Planet would be akin to renouncing the society.

In a short period of time, the two sides started to debate, and the arguments quickly grew intense.

Fiend Li quickly tried to contact Yi Feng, as he wanted to question what the man was doing, but Yi Feng did not answer the call.

Felynn also tried to contact Yi Feng, but to no avail either.

They had a bad feeling about these messages.

In outer space, on a certain spacecraft, Wei Rong stood beside the transparent metal window and stared out at the passing planets. The dark heavens were very beautiful, just like the future. Some futures were bright, but few could forcefully seize such a thing. He saw the brightest star as one representing himself, and he was working hard to seize it.

“I’ve done what you have told me to,” an indifferent voice said from behind Wei Rong.

Wei Rong’s lips curled up, and he slowly turned around and replied with a smile, “The Wei family welcomes you back, Executive Yi Feng.”

The person who had appeared behind Wei Rong was shockingly Yi Feng, who had mysteriously vanished after Fiend Li had sent him to guard the Hall of Insight.

When he saw Wei Rong’s smile, Yi Feng’s face became emotionless. “Your smile is just as detestable as his.”

Wei Rong’s eyes flashed. “Are you referring to my granduncle or to your foster father?”

Yi Feng’s voice turned cold. “He’s already dead, but you received his second-hand inheritance, and you even dare to deal with the Lockbreaker Society. Back then, he only allowed me to enter the society to help the Wei family attract some Lockbreakers. You’re more savage and outstanding than he ever was.”

Wei Rong beamed. “The times have changed, Executive Yi Feng. No, Uncle Wei Yi.”

Yi Feng frowned. “Call me Yi Feng. I stopped using that name long ago.”

“But you’re still listed in the Wei family’s records,” Wei Rong countered.

Yi Feng’s body trembled, and his expression turned a bit softer. “Do you know what you are doing? You’re playing with fire, and there’s a high chance that you will burn yourself, and possibly even the entire Wei family.”

Wei Rong shrugged. “If we’re playing, then we must do it to our hearts’ content. Still, I never thought that you would actually agree to work with me. It looks like Granduncle had a tremendous influence on you.”

A touch of reminiscence appeared on Yi Feng’s face. “Don’t mention him to me again.”

“Alright, let’s talk about some proper business. How many Lockbreakers do you think will come to Armament Weave?” Wei Rong asked.

Yi Feng casually replied, “Many. My lockbreaking experience is priceless. To be able to learn from me free-of-charge is a dream come true for almost every Lockbreaker.”

“That’s great. It wouldn’t have been worth it for me to scheme against Sourcepeak Planet this much if I only managed to get ahold of some treasures.”

Yi Feng looked at the younger man. “What price did you pay to form this alliance that Umbral Butterfly Weave, Suna Weave, Endless Borders, and Aegis are a part of? Even Lord Egret made an appearance.”

Wei Rong smiled. “They’re all humans. Every human has their own dreams and weaknesses, so it wasn’t too hard.”

Yi Feng indifferently replied, “Originally, Sourcepeak Planet would not have easily uncovered the truth of you being the mastermind controlling everything from the shadows, but you had me send that message to everyone, basically declaring to everyone that you’re the one who acted against Sourcepeak Planet. Aren’t you afraid?”

Wei Rong smiled and walked along the transparent metal hallway. “There’ll always be someone who acts as the trailblazer of an era. The further ahead they tread, the rougher the waves they’ll have to face. However, that also comes with the chance to obtain even more. Of course, it’s possible to be swept away by the waves and annihilated, but it’s also possible…” He paused as he pointedly looked at Yi Feng. “To control the path.”

Yi Feng’s pupils shrank, and he looked out at outer space. “You’re more daring than him, but you also don’t understand Lockbreakers. It’s possible that you’ll die a horrific death and even implicate the Wei family in your death.”

“Perhaps, and yet, you still came, haha!” Wei Rong was not worried in the slightest.

There was a thump as Angie suddenly charged over. She was just about to speak when she saw Yi Feng behind Wei Rong. Her expression changed as she looked at Wei Rong. “So it’s really him. Why did you just do that? Didn’t you originally agree to divide the Hall of Insight’s treasury among us before we all went into hiding? But you just had Executive Yi Feng send out such a message. Aren’t you openly telling them that we’re responsible for what just happened?”

Wei Rong smiled. “Not us, just me. Relax, nobody can blame anything on you guys.”

Angie frowned. “Do you really think that they won’t be able to find us if they start investigating your involvement? Can your Wei family really withstand tens of thousands of Lockbreakers all on its own?”

Wei Rong had a hint of a smile. “Before I answer this question of yours, let me introduce someone.” He pointed towards Yi Feng. “This is Master Yi Feng. His original name is Wei Yi, and he’s a senior of our Wei family.”

Angie was surprised. “Master Yi Feng is someone from your Wei family?”

Wei Rong nodded. “Sourcepeak Planet is no longer suitable for habitation after that great battle. Is there anything wrong with our Wei family asking our senior to return to Armament Weave? Is there anything wrong with our senior selflessly offering his lockbreaking experience?”

Angie coldly replied, “Don’t play around with semantics with me! We aren’t all fools. You’ve been too precise with your timings, and you’ll easily be connected to these events. Once they think about all the people who entered the Hall of Insight, combined with all the other various clues, they’ll also be able to connect you to us. Then, they will come to dig all of us out.”

Wei Rong did not seem bothered by such a thing. “So what, Angie? Have you forgotten what I told you before?”

Angie’s eyes flickered, and she looked at the self-confident expression on Wei Rong’s face. Subconsciously, she became involuntarily attracted to him once again.

“The times have changed. The Lockbreaker Society is merely the first to suffer from this change, but it certainly won’t be the last. If we dare to make such a move, then we have to let everyone know about the trailblazer’s attitude,” Wei Rong proclaimed.

“But doing so will cause thousands of Lockbreakers to view us as their enemy,” Angie said.

Wei Rong smiled. “Thousands? You overestimate Sourcepeak Planet. Out of all the Lockbreakers there, how many of them are from the Innerverse and were left stranded in the Outerverse? How many of them actually care about Sourcepeak Planet? Besides, there’s already a considerable number of Lockbreakers who want to come to Armament Weave to follow Master Yi Feng. This colossal giant has already fallen, so there’s no need for you to be afraid of it any longer.”
