Ah Mu replied, "Angie is the young matriarch of our Umbral Butterfly Tribe, and she's also a student of the Astral Combat Academy. Do you know her, Seventh Bro?"
"I know her, but I've never interacted with her before. I didn't expect her to suddenly become an Explorer, and she's even in the Outerverse. However, I'm more surprised by you." Lu Yin stared at Ah Mu seriously. "Your strength isn't any weaker than Angie's."
Ah Mu's expression changed, and he forced a smile. "Seventh Bro, don't joke around. I was just lucky to have just become an Explorer. Young Matriarch Angie can't only bring girls when she goes out, so I was able to tag along. I don't have any strength."
Lu Yin looked at Ah Mu for a while. "Is that so? Then I must have misjudged you."
Ah Mu relaxed.
The two chatted for a while. They had only known each other for a few days, and their relationship wasn't that good. However, they had still experienced life and death situations together. Lu Yin had only come looking for Ah Mu because he was curious about how Ah Mu's strength had improved so quickly. Seeing that Ah Mu wasn't willing to talk about it, Lu Yin decided to leave.
"Seventh Bro, are you really going to participate in this Lockbreaker Competition?" Ah Mu asked before Lu Yin left. He looked hesitant, as if he was conflicted about something.
Lu Yin nodded. "Yes. I'm a Lockbreaker, after all. What's wrong?"
Ah Mu seriously replied, "If possible, it's best if you leave Sourcepeak Planet."
Lu Yin's eyes flashed. "What do you mean?"
Ah Mu frowned and muttered, "I can't explain it to you, but this competition isn't as simple as it seems, so it's best if you leave."
Lu Yin stared at Ah Mu for a while. "Ah Mu, have you heard anything about me recently?"
Ah Mu shook his head. "The Umbral Butterfly Weave is far from the east, so I haven't heard anything."
Lu Yin smiled and patted Ah Mu's shoulder. "Thank you for your advice. I'll remember it." He then left.
Ah Mu closed the door with a complicated expression. He hadn't expected to run into this person here.
It was precisely because of this person's help that Ah Mu had been able to obtain that item and transform his strength. That was how he had been able to change his status and reach his current height. Although they weren't close, Ah Mu was very grateful to Lu Yin, and he couldn't help but remind him. However, Lu Yin's attitude was very strange. Ah Mu's thoughts.
Very soon, Lu Yin's deeds.
After looking at it for a while, Ah Mu put down his gadget in a daze. It seemed that he had gotten himself into trouble.
If Lu Yin had been an ordinary Lockbreaker, then he definitely wouldn't have been able to cause any trouble for them, and it would have been pointless no matter how much he knew. However, Lu Yin was not an ordinary person. He was the master of Frostwave Weave, and he had established the Great Eastern Alliance. He had killed Enlighters, and the various great powers of the Innerverse did not dare to provoke him. All of these things indicated that Lu Yin's status was extraordinary, and he even surpassed Angie's. This person had the ability to change the entire situation.
Ah Mu smiled bitterly. No wonder he had such a strange expression after hearing his reminder. He was really in trouble.
Lu Yin's expression was calm as he walked out of the Forest Inn, but his mind was racing. It seemed that the Umbral Butterfly Tribe had also joined forces with the Wei family and Felynn to deal with Saul.
There was Armament Weave and Umbral Butterfly Weave. Who else was there?
He had guessed that if he wanted to deal with Saul, he would need an Enlighter to act. As he thought about it, he rose into the air and scanned his surroundings, searching for a boundless amount of rune lines.
After searching for more than half an hour, he found nothing, but he was not disappointed. This was within his expectations.
This was Sourcepeak Planet, and there were Lockbreakers everywhere. These Lockbreakers were all extremely sensitive to star energy, and even if an Enlighter appeared, they would definitely try their best to conceal themselves or even hide outside of Sourcepeak Planet. Otherwise, they would be easily detected by Saul and the others.
Lu Yin did not know exactly how many people had joined forces, and he did not need to know either. With his and Aden's abilities, they could even survive in Ironblood Weave's battlefield, let alone this place.
Wang Wen's suggestion was to wait and see, and this was also what Lu Yin wanted to do.
The next day, Lu Yin strolled around Sourcepeak Planet as if nothing had happened.
More and more people arrived on Sourcepeak Planet, and the characteristic Forest Inn was filled to the brim. Many places had long lines to eat, and anything related to lockbreaking or sourceboxes was packed with people. Conflicts often arose, but no one dared to escalate the situation.
There were all sorts of transactions going on in the dark, and Lu Yin's domain covered everything.
In the sky, spacecraft after spacecraft descended, all bearing the same symbol: Endless Borders, one of the Outerverse's four major corporations. It was a shipping company that originated from Endless Weave, and it was the undisputed overlord of the entire Outerverse's transportation industry.
When he saw Endless Borders, Lu Yin thought of Madam Nalan. She should be here, as she was the one who had told him about the Lockbreaker Competition.
Just as he thought of her, he received a call from her. Whatever he was thinking about, it had come.
Lu Yin accepted the call. "Madam, have you arrived on Sourcepeak Planet?"
On the other end, Madam Nalan smiled. "Your Highness must have arrived a long time ago. Was your journey safe?"
Lu Yin's brows rose. "Why do you ask?"
"Your Highness, the Lockbreaker Competition this time will not be peaceful. You must be careful."
Lu Yin was speechless. How did everyone know? How many people had Felynn cooperated with?
How could Saul not know?
"How did you know?" Lu Yin was puzzled.
"It seems like Your Highness knows something. I'm not too sure about the specifics, but I do know that there will be a huge change on Sourcepeak Planet. Endless Borders and Aegis are both participating. Our Nalan family is one of the four major corporations, so they can't hide any information from me."
Lu Yin looked up at the Endless Borders spacecraft with a heavy heart.
He did not care about Armament Weave or Umbral Butterfly Weave, but the four major corporations were different. Their businesses spanned the entire Outerverse, and their influence was too wide. They also had great potential. The reason why Madam Nalan had protected the Great Yu Empire was because the Enlighter that the Nalan family supported had been trapped in Tyrannical Weave. If the Nalan family had an Enlighter, then these two families should have as well.
This was especially true for Aegis, which dealt with weapons and had the most mercenaries and independent cultivators. With their participation, Sourcepeak Planet's situation was worse than expected.
It was no wonder why Felynn was so confident. She had actually allied herself with two major corporations. She was not afraid of overdoing things.
"Thank you for the reminder, madam. I understand."
"You're welcome. I'm His Highness' subordinate," Madam Nalan said lazily.
Lu Yin's heart warmed, and he coughed. "Why isn't the Nalan family participating?"
"Eh, our Nalan family's seniors are trapped in Tyrannical Weave, and they don't care about us anymore." Madam Nalan sighed.
Lu Yin did not believe her, as the foundations of the four major corporations were unimaginably deep, and nobody dared to underestimate them. If they did not participate, then it could only mean that they did not want to, or that they had used some other method to participate.
"Madam, are you on Sourcepeak Planet right now?" Lu Yin asked.
Madam Nalan smiled. "Does Your Highness want to see me?
I just took a shower. "
Lu Yin pursed his lips. "I'll see you after the competition."
"That's fine. Then, be careful, Your Highness."
Lu Yin grunted in acknowledgment and then ended the call.
Armament Weave, Umbral Butterfly Weave, Endless Borders, Aegis, and Felynn. He did not know if there were any others, but with so many powers working together, it was indeed enough to deal with Saul.
It seemed that Saul did not know that he had been targeted, or else Sourcepeak Planet would not have been so peaceful.
The old man stood too high, and his ambitions were too great. He had been blinded by the schemes of others, which was a great taboo.
Once Saul was defeated, then the Lockbreaker Society would be half destroyed. That woman, Felynn, was truly ruthless. However, she alone would not have been able to link up with all these powers, so it should have been Wei Rong or someone else.
Fortunately, Lu Yin had not planned on taking the lead, or else he might not have been able to fulfill the conditions that Felynn had agreed to. These powers all had Enlighters, so they would not be afraid of him. In the end, not only would he end up offending the Lockbreaker Society and Saul, but he might also end up with nothing.
But would Felynn be able to get what she wanted?
Were so many powers working together just to support her?
Lu Yin did not believe that. What was their goal?
Within a manor on Sourcepeak Planet, Wei Xin 'er was trying to sneak away when a shadow blocked her path. She looked up with a bitter expression. "Brother."
The youth who had appeared in front of Wei Xin 'er was handsome and elegant. His gaze was gentle, but it also carried a trace of dignity. It was Wei Rong. "Xin' er, you're too naughty."
Wei Xin 'er bit her lip. "Brother, I want to participate."
"No," Wei Rong immediately rejected.
Wei Xin 'er stubbornly asked, "Why?"
Wei Rong calmly replied, "You're not even a One Star Discerning Elementary Lockbreaker, so what's the point of participating?
Do you want people to laugh at our Wei family? "
"Of course not. People will only praise the Wei family for their bravery. You're not even a One Star Discerning Elementary Lockbreaker, yet you dare to compete with a Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker. I'm bringing honor to the Wei family."
"You're embarrassing yourself."
"I'm bringing honor to you."
"Embarrassing."
"You're pissing me off! I'm going to tell Grandpa that you bullied me!" Wei Xin 'er glared at Wei Rong before turning around and leaving unwillingly.
Wei Rong laughed, his eyes filled with doting love.
Elsewhere, Felynn requested an audience with Fiend Li, but she was not granted an audience. The only reply she received was, "The competition is imminent, so don't cause gossip."
Felynn helplessly left, but before she left, she bowed deeply. "No matter what, please uphold the Lockbreaker Society's impartiality and fairness. Felynn thanks you."
The next day, Lu Yin received a notice and walked out of his residence. He looked up and brought Aden to the Hall of Insight, where the first round of the competition would take place.
At this moment, there was a sea of people outside Sourcepeak Planet's Hall of Insight. Many screens illuminated the sky, allowing the competition to be broadcasted from countless places in the universe. Even those in outer space could watch the competition live.
Lockbreakers were the most respected profession, and their every move was closely watched. Countless powers were keeping an eye on the Lockbreaker Competition, hoping to rope in talented Lockbreakers.
Lu Yin was shocked when he reached the outskirts of the Hall of Insight. There were too many people, and there were people from all over the sky and on the ground. There were rune lines everywhere, and there were at least five Hunter rune lines. This was just the spectators, and it did not include the Lockbreakers.
"That's the Hall of Insight. I've heard many rumors about it over the past two days, and it really is spectacular," Aden sighed.
Lu Yin looked over and saw that there were four towering trees that surrounded and protected a large hall in front of him. The four trees were truly towering, and they were even taller than the clouds. The Hall of Insight was right in the center of the four trees, and below them was a continuous mountain range. The north was connected to the Lockbreaker Society's residence, while the other three directions were connected to the mountain ranges that extended into the distance.
This was what most people would see, but what Lu Yin saw was different. He saw four large trees as the boundary, and a square of rune lines soared into the sky. With the trees as the boundary, there were no rune lines outside the trees, but there were within the trees, and the rune lines enveloped the Hall of Insight.
