Star Odyssey

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.”
