The middle-aged man was shocked when Lu Yin grabbed his right hand. The bones in his fingers were breaking, and his face paled as he glared at Lu Yin. "I'm warning you, let me go! Don't look for trouble! There are some things that you shouldn't know."
Lu Yin frowned and increased his strength. The middle-aged man groaned as his hand was twisted out of shape. He gritted his teeth and glared at Lu Yin. "I'm from Armament Weave's Wei family. Our young mistress is participating in the exam today, and the young master asked me to contact Instructor Felynn to find a good instructor for her."
"Do you think I'm an idiot?" Lu Yin's tone was cold as he grabbed the man's arm. There was a crack as the man groaned as his arm was broken. "Keep talking. Let's see what else you have to say."
The middle-aged man panted as beads of sweat dripped from his forehead. "I'm really from the Wei family. You should know how powerful the Wei family is in Armament Weave. I'm telling the truth. If you don't believe me, I can take you to the young master."
Lu Yin stared into the man's eyes. "Felynn wants to destroy Saul, and your Wei family is one of the powers working with her. Then, who else is involved?
I really want to know. "
The middle-aged man stared at Lu Yin in disbelief, and then he suddenly reacted. "You're Lu Yin."
Lu Yin's lips curled up. "So it's you guys."
The man's eyes flickered, and his expression changed.
Lu Yin sneered. "Speak. I'm on the same side as you guys, and we both want to destroy Saul. There's nothing wrong with telling me."
The man lowered his head and fell silent.
Lu Yin exerted more strength, but the man did not respond. Lu Yin's expression changed, and he lifted the man's head, only to find that he was already dead.
"He committed suicide, Seventh Bro. It seems like this matter isn't that simple," the monkey said gravely.
Lu Yin's expression turned solemn. This person had dared to resist without knowing who he was, and he had even wanted to take Lu Yin to meet the young master. However, after guessing Lu Yin's identity, the man had decisively committed suicide. He knew that Lu Yin was involved in this matter and had even helped them, but he had still committed suicide. This could only mean one thing: this matter was not as simple as Felynn had made it out to be. Otherwise, there would have been no need for him to commit suicide.
For him to commit suicide so decisively meant that this matter was serious.
In the Wei family, Lu Yin muttered to himself for a moment before sending the image of the middle-aged man to the bespectacled Mistchild from Mafioso Planet and the Six-Fingered Tribe's leader, Bach Shamus. He remembered that Armament Weave was located to the west of Lars Weave, and they were Lars Weave's archenemy. Bach Shamus might know something.
The bespectacled Mistchild quickly sent news back. She did not know much about this person, nor did she know much about the Wei family. Due to the great distance between them, Armament Weave was considered to be in the middle of the two weaves.
Meanwhile, Bach Shamus sent a message to him.
Lu Yin accepted the call, and Bach Shamus appeared on the screen with a grave expression. "Your Highness, why did you kill someone from the Wei family?"
"You know this person?" Lu Yin asked.
Bach Shamus nodded. "This person is an attendant of the Wei Clan's Young Master, Wei Rong. He is very loyal to Wei Rong."
It really was the Wei family, and this person had not lied. Lu Yin said, "Tell me about Armament Weave and the Wei family."
Bach Shamus was very curious about what Lu Yin was doing, but he did not ask. "Armament Weave is located to the west of Lars Weave and has been our archenemy for generations. They produce a type of beast called the Astral Warhorse that can gallop through outer space and easily crush spacecraft. The Wei family is the ruling family of Armament Weave, and they are also the family that controls the Astral Warhorse.
"The Wei family has never interacted with the eastern weaves, but they have good relations with the central weaves. They are adept at forming alliances, especially this generation's Young Master, Wei Rong. He traveled throughout half of the Outerverse at a young age and has recruited many people for the Wei family. Originally, our Six-Fingered Tribe and the Wei family were evenly matched, but because of this person, we have been at a disadvantage for the past few years."
Lu Yin was shocked. It seemed that this person was someone like Wang Wen, and such people were the most troublesome. This Wei Rong was currently on Sourcepeak Planet, and it seemed that this person had played a significant role in dealing with Saul.
"Your Highness, are you planning to pull Armament Weave into the Great Eastern Alliance?" Bach Shamus probed.
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "If that's the case, what do you think?"
Bach Shamus shook his head and laughed. "That's impossible. Armament Weave is hostile to the eastern weaves, and the Wei family has never paid any attention to the eastern weaves. Wei Rong has traveled throughout half of the Outerverse, but he has never been to the eastern weaves. If you want them to join, you'll have to destroy the Wei family."
Lu Yin nodded. "Alright, I understand. I'll have to trouble Patriarch Bach."
"Your Highness is being too polite. You seem to be on Sourcepeak Planet right now," Bach Shamus said as he recalled something.
Lu Yin nodded. "That's right. I'm participating in the Lockbreaker Competition."
Bach Shamus frowned. "The Wei family is very adept at scheming behind the scenes. Since they're here, Your Highness should be careful. There might be some changes to this year's Lockbreaker Competition. After all, the Innerverse and Outerverse have been separated, and many things have changed."
Lu Yin grunted in acknowledgment and then turned off his screen.
When Bach Shamus saw that someone from the Wei family was present, he was certain that something had changed on Sourcepeak Planet. It seemed that this Wei family was not simple, and they had probably beaten him into a pulp.
Wei Rong was an intelligent person, and he was not very good at dealing with such people. Scheming against others was not his area of expertise, so he contacted Wang Wen.
"Chesspiece Bro, I didn't think that you would contact me at this time. What's wrong? Did you miss me?" Wang Wen's annoying smile appeared on the screen.
Lu Yin was speechless. "I told you not to call me Chesspiece Bro."
Wang Wen raised his head. "Everyone in the universe is a chess piece in my eyes, and some people can't even reach the level of a chess piece. You should be honored." He then leaned closer and smiled. "I heard that you've been very popular recently, and even the Hall of Honor is protecting you. Chesspiece Bro, you have some tricks up your sleeve. Not bad, you didn't waste all that time you spent with me. You've finally gained some intelligence."
"Seventh Bro, this guy is still so annoying!" The monkey was furious.
Lu Yin pouted. "Alright, I have something important to ask you."
Wang Wen clicked his tongue and leaned back in his chair. "Go ahead." This guy was showing off his superiority at every turn.
Lu Yin organized his thoughts and then explained the situation on Sourcepeak Planet. Wang Wen was very interested, and he finally asked, "What do you think I should do now?"
Wang Wen laughed. "That's great! Sourcepeak Planet is about to undergo a huge change. I've been unhappy with those Lockbreakers for a long time. They actually dared to disobey orders and not support Ironblood Weave. They even went into hiding. What a bunch of arrogant bastards! This time, I'll make sure that they're unable to recover from this setback."
Lu Yin's expression turned ugly. "I'm a Lockbreaker too."
Wang Wen waved a hand. "Don't mind me. You're just an amateur."
"I'm a five star Discerning Elementary Lockbreaker," Lu Yin replied.
Wang Wen blinked. "Why are you standing so high up when you're just an amateur? It's no wonder that Saul sent someone to assassinate you. If an amateur can become a five star Lockbreaker, then no one will be able to survive if they get serious. In my opinion, you brought this upon yourself."
"Alright, what should I do?
Tell me, "Lu Yin said impatiently.
Wang Wen thought about it. "It's simple. Don't do anything."
"Don't do anything?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
Wang Wen nodded. "That's right. Don't do anything. You should know that everything in the world has its own rules. Many things will have the same result regardless of whether you do or not, and it won't affect you much. Also, according to what you said, Felynn and the Wei family aren't simple people, and they definitely can't rely on you to deal with Saul. In such a situation, you can gloriously be a coward and wait for the situation to develop.
"If I don't do anything, then Felynn won't give me True Insight," Lu Yin said.
Wang Wen rolled his eyes. "Brother, with these people's actions, the Lockbreaker Society will be half destroyed. Are you still afraid that you won't be able to obtain True Insight?
Don't forget that you've killed an Enlighter before. They're also afraid that you'll side with Saul, so they definitely won't dare to offend you. You're already in an invincible position, so all you have to do is watch the show unfold. "
Lu Yin thought about it and realized that Wang Wen was right. He had only thought about how he could contribute and then reap the benefits, but he hadn't considered that as long as he didn't do anything, both sides would give him benefits. No one would dare to offend him, and he wouldn't need to offend Saul either.
"Are you so sure that they have a backup plan?" Lu Yin asked, as he suspected that Wang Wen was just here to watch the show unfold.
Wang Wen's lips curled up. "Is the person from the Wei family Wei Rong?"
"You know him?" Lu Yin was surprised.
Wang Wen sneered. "I've met him once, so listen to me. Don't do anything. Wei Rong's methods are watertight, and if he really wanted you to take action, he would have personally met with you. He didn't meet you, and the fact that the Wei family members committed suicide after guessing your identity only proves one thing: you're not important to the Wei family. Felynn met you personally and even promised you True Insight, which also proves that you're very important to her. Putting these two things together, it becomes clear that Felynn is not important to the Wei family. Do you understand?"
Do you understand? "" Are you saying that the Wei family has their own plans? "Lu Yin raised his brows.
Wang Wen nodded. "You're smart. That Wei Rong is the best at selling people out and counting the money for them. Just watch the show quietly. The show on Sourcepeak Planet will definitely be very exciting, and you can contact me at any time. Haha, I'm really looking forward to what Wei Rong is going to do."
Lu Yin turned off his screen. Wang Wen's analysis had allowed him to gradually understand the general situation, but he still had no idea what the Wei family was planning or who they were working with. However, since he had already seen the situation clearly, he had made his decision.
There were still two days before the competition, and Lu Yin stopped monitoring Felynn's residence. Instead, he wandered around Sourcepeak Planet on his own.
This planet was very famous, and everyone in the Innerverse knew about it. After all, it was the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society's headquarters.
Most of the planet was covered in greenery, and the cities were very beautiful. It wasn't filled with sourceboxes as Lu Yin had imagined. However, there was one industry that surprised him: treasure gambling.
Most sourceboxes were discovered by chance, but that was only if they landed in an area with a sourcebox. Some sourceboxes were buried deep underground, and it was impossible to discover them by chance. Lockbreakers naturally had their own ways of analyzing the traces and phenomena to determine whether or not a sourcebox was present, but the accuracy rate was very low.
It was precisely because of this situation that the treasure gambling industry was born.
This so-called treasure gambling industry completely isolated the areas where sourceboxes could be found. If one had the money, they could purchase the entire area. As for whether or not a sourcebox could be found, that would depend on one's luck and ability.
Rather than calling it an industry, it was more like a form of entertainment. After all, sourceboxes were too rare, and there were very few areas where sourceboxes could be found. It was impossible to form a complete industry, and it could only be considered a leisure game for Lockbreakers or rich people.
Lu Yin had never discovered a sourcebox in a certain area before, and he was very curious.
