Felynn coldly replied, "Let Yi Feng return to the Lockbreaker Society, and we'll call it quits. As for the treasures, whatever you took will belong to you. How about that?"
"Who gave Mentor the confidence to speak to me like that?" Wei Rong teased.
Felynn's gaze turned cold. "The Lockbreaker Society's countless years of history are still intact. Do you want to become the entire Lockbreaker Society's enemy?
The Innerverse and Outerverse will connect sooner or later, and with the support of the Innerverse's Lockbreaker Society, killing you will be as easy as crushing an ant. "
"Maybe, but that will have to wait until the Innerverse and Outerverse are connected. For now, if Mentor Felynn has nothing else to say, then we won't be contacting each other." Wei Rong then hung up. He needed Lockbreakers, but he did not need Felynn. This woman was too ambitious, but she was also stupid and could be easily used by others. Someone like her was worthless in his eyes, and she could not even compare to a One Star Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker.
Yi Feng could bring a group of Lockbreakers to Armament Weave, and the remaining Lockbreakers would slowly be attracted over. Wei Rong was not in a hurry, as he did not want to reach the heavens in a single step.
These Lockbreakers were quite difficult to deal with, so he would take his time.
In the sky above Sourcepeak Planet, Felynn put down her gadget with a gloomy expression. Wei Rong's attitude was resolute, and he had no intention of compromising. She could not even raise any conditions for Wei Rong, and since that was the case, she could only go along with Lu Yin's wishes. When the time came, even if Wei Rong publicized their secret collaboration, she could use Lu Yin's influence to refute him.
When she thought about this, Felynn smiled bitterly. Since when had Lockbreakers been reduced to mere tools and subordinates of cultivators?
Not long after, Xi Qi, who had come to find Lu Yin, cried out in surprise. She looked at her gadget and saw that Felynn had sent out a notice. She was moving the Lockbreaker Society to Frostwave Weave as the acting president, and she had also offered many attractive conditions just like Yi Feng.
Many Lockbreakers who had been planning to go to Armament Weave immediately stopped.
"Go to Frostwave Weave?
I don't remember that weave having any special features, and I haven't found any sourceboxes. It's also quite far away, so why go there? "
"Mentor Felynn's reason. Our Lockbreaker Society needs the Great Eastern Alliance's protection. The Great Eastern Alliance is made up eight weaves in the east, and it's very powerful. It's also the Alliance's resources. With the Empire's Royal Regent Lu Yin's existence, even Enlighters don't dare provoke them..."
"That's right. Right now, our society doesn't have anyone who can deal with Enlighters, so it's best if we have someone to protect us."
"Hmph, since when do Lockbreakers need to be protected? How embarrassing."
…
Discussions broke out everywhere. Some people agreed, while others disagreed. Regardless, it was impossible for them to stay on Sourcepeak Planet any longer. Felynn had moved the society's headquarters to Frostwave Weave in her capacity as acting president, and no one in the society had the right to object.
Many of the Lockbreakers were free, and they did not usually come to the society's headquarters. However, there were still quite a few Lockbreakers who were stationed at the headquarters all year round, and these people were the ones that Felynn needed to appease.
Fortunately, Yi Feng's offer had tempted many Lockbreakers, and Felynn's offer was even better. With this comparison in mind, many Lockbreakers began to form a plan.
They had no other choice. They could either look for Yi Feng or follow Felynn. In comparison, although Yi Feng was stronger, Felynn had the right to be the acting president. She could even take away all of the research society's resources, which was much better than Yi Feng.
As for Armament Weave and the Great Eastern Alliance, they could not be compared at all.
Many Lockbreakers who had originally planned to head to Armament Weave decided to follow Felynn to Frostwave Weave instead.
"The biggest mistake that Wei Rong made was not allowing Yi Feng to stay behind and compete for the position of acting president. Otherwise, he could have packed up all of these Lockbreakers and brought them to Armament Weave," the monkey lamented.
Lu Yin replied, "It's not that he didn't want to, but that he couldn't. Yi Feng doesn't have as deep a foundation as Felynn in the society, and even if he had stayed behind to compete with her, he wouldn't have been able to win. Besides, Armament Weave can't take in that many Lockbreakers. If not for the Great Eastern Alliance, Frostwave Weave would not have been able to take in so many Lockbreakers either."
"Then how did Sourcepeak Weave endure it?" the monkey retorted.
Lu Yin replied, "When Sourcepeak Weave first established the society's headquarters, it definitely did not have that many Lockbreakers. It developed step by step. Otherwise, where else do you think the Hall of Insight would have so many treasures?"
Speaking of treasures, Lu Yin's heart skipped a beat. He could check his gains later and see what he had obtained. He was especially looking forward to the box in Geoffrey's secret room. Both boxes were items that the Corpse King needed, so they were definitely valuable.
"Brother Lu, are we really going to Frostwave Weave?" Xi Qi walked over to Lu Yin's side and asked.
Lu Yin nodded. "The society is being targeted by vile people, and what happened today will definitely happen again in the future. After all, the society's countless years of heritage are enough to make others jealous. Once we reach Frostwave Weave, I can have the entire Great Eastern Alliance protect us, and we'll also have the Great Eastern Alliance's resources to support us. These Lockbreakers won't have any problems with their cultivation."
Xi Qi grunted in acknowledgment.
"Familiar two-legged beast. Lord Fish sees that you have an amazing bone structure, and you seem to be quite lucky. Why don't you follow Lord Fish? Lord Fish will teach you True Insight," the fish on Xi Qi's head spoke up, its tail constantly flapping about.
Lu Yin could not be bothered with it.
"It's a pity about those sourceboxes. All of the two-legged beasts have left, and no one can take them away," the fish said.
Lu Yin followed the fish's gaze and looked at the four large trees. They had become large trees again, and new trees were growing out of them.
This was very mystical.
These four sourceboxes truly moved Lu Yin. It would be great if he could take them away, but the fish was right; no one could take them away.
Sourceboxes were treasures that could be seen, but no one had the ability to obtain them. There were sourceboxes on the Shenwu Continent, in every stronghold in Ironblood Weave, and here, too.
Lu Yin coveted these sourceboxes. If he had the ability to unlock all of them, then he might be able to obtain something incredible.
At this moment, Ku Wei arrived. He was in a sorry state, and he angrily accused Lu Yin of using him as a scapegoat.
Lu Yin sized him up with a strange gaze. "Your surname makes it easy for me to do that."
Ku Wei was stunned, but then he burst into laughter. "Surname?
What surname? Call me Brother Wei. My full name makes you feel like an outsider. Hahahaha! "He then ran off.
Lu Yin's eyes narrowed. This person was definitely from the Seven Courts' Ku family.
Each of the Three Dark Hands possessed unfathomable power, and even the great powers of the Innerverse did not want to provoke them. Lu Yin did not want to go up against such a terrifying power at the moment. Up until now, the Neohuman Alliance had not acted against him, and he had only run into them by coincidence. If the Neohuman Alliance really wanted to act against him, then Lu Yin was not confident that he could stop them unless he asked Mister Mu for help.
Lu Yin still remembered the fate of the Yushan bloodline. The Seven Courts were equally famous as the Neohuman Alliance, and they were definitely not kind people.
Lu Yin found a secluded area and checked his loot.
First, he snatched the cultivators' cosmic rings, and he obtained blood from each of them. He opened them one by one.
He looted dozens of cosmic rings, but there was nothing special about them. Some of them were even empty. Finally, he found something good in one of the rings. It was a crystal bottle with a liquid inside and an introduction on the outside.
This was a lockbreaking tool. Lu Yin was delighted. This was a good item, and any lockbreaking tool was worth a lot of money.
He looked at the amount of spring water in the bottle and estimated that there were about twenty drops, which was not bad.
He continued to open his cosmic rings and looked through them one by one. Soon enough, he found another good item: dozens of chips. Lu Yin inserted one of the chips into his gadget and saw a Perceptive Intermediate Lockbreaker's lockbreaking videos, as well as an introduction to that Lockbreaker's lockbreaking experience. Lu Yin was ecstatic, as this was the greatest treasure to a Lockbreaker. A single chip recorded a Lockbreaker's entire lifetime of lockbreaking experience.
Lu Yin almost couldn't hold back his laughter. There were more than thirty chips in this cosmic ring, which was equivalent to the lifetime worth of lockbreaking experience of more than thirty Lockbreakers. This wealth was so great that even Lu Yin was a little flustered. If this information was exposed, then the Lockbreakers outside would probably eat him alive.
This was the most valuable item in the Hall of Insight.
Lu Yin looked through them one by one, but they were all lockbreaking experiences. He did not have time to study them, so he put them all away and continued to look through them.
In the end, Lu Yin obtained two lockbreaking tools, a hundred chips that recorded his experience, more than 100,000 star essence, and a strange technique from the cosmic rings.
The two lockbreaking tools were the spring water and a pink gauze dress that was obviously designed for a woman. As for the strange technique, it was called the Vitality Sacrifice Technique. According to the records, it was a technique that overdrafted one's life force to unleash one's potential. Once it was used, it was equivalent to the end of one's life.
Lu Yin recalled that Fiend Li's rune lines had rapidly increased before his death, and he had been able to activate the four tree-type sourceboxes. He had probably used the Vitality Sacrifice Technique.
The additional harvest was more than 100,000 star essence, which was a great fortune. Lu Yin's harvest from this trip to Sourcepeak Planet had been too great.
There was one final item, which was the box that he had obtained from Geoffrey's secret room.
He carefully took it out and slowly opened it. A strand of golden light shone out.
When he saw the golden light, Lu Yin's breathing became heavy, and his eyes widened. No way, it can't be that, right? That's too lucky!
When the box was opened, five golden pages appeared in front of Lu Yin's eyes. They looked very familiar, as he had seen them not too long ago. They were the same ones that Saul had seen when he opened the box — True Insight.
The champion of the Lockbreaker Competition had been rewarded with three pages of True Insight. When the battle had started, Deng Pu had disappeared with it, and Saul had even been expelled from the Lockbreaker Society because of it. Now, Lu Yin had obtained five pages.
Lu Yin had never imagined that his luck would be so good as to actually obtain five pages of True Insight. This was definitely something that the Corpse King wanted to steal, and it was no wonder why the Corpse King had risked its life to steal it. Five pages of True Insight were simply too valuable.
Lu Yin hurriedly closed the box, and his eyes lit up with excitement. He could not help but laugh.
"Seventh Bro, it really is True Insight! You've struck it rich!" The monkey laughed.
Lu Yin was delighted, as he had obtained much more than Wei Rong had. Wei Rong had planned everything, but he had also paved the way for Lu Yin. If Wei Rong knew about this, he would definitely go crazy.
"Geoffrey is indeed worthy of being the President of the Outerverse Lockbreaker Society. He actually has five pages of True Insight! How ruthless!" the monkey exclaimed.
