Chapter 509: Jiao Fangs Act (1/2)

Now outside the treasure pavilion.

Lin Mu saw Jiao Long split the two pieces of the medallion apart before putting the piece that belonged to the guard in his clothes. Lin Mu followed behind him but stopped at the edge of the area where the next section of the peak started from.

Lin Mu did not proceed because Jiao Long was going to a place he did not think he should go into.

”The discipline hall? Why would he go there?” Lin Mu muttered.

The discipline hall was the law and order department of the Tri Cauldron peony sect, which dealt with all problems that occurred relating to rules and regulations. Lin Mu could see the disciples where were a cut above the rest.

Their gazes were sharp and there was no area that was not being scanned by spirit sense at every moment. Not only that, but they were even scanning the ground, which surprised Lin Mu.

”They are even more alert than the guards that were assigned to the treasure pavilion.” Lin Mu muttered.

”ALARM! ALARM!” Suddenly shouts were heard coming from the discipline hall.

”What the hell! That's Jiao Fang's voice.” Lin Mu said as he looked at the building.

”HELP! THE GUARDS OF THE THIRD TREASURE PAVILION ARE UNCONSCIOUS!” Jiao Fang shouted.

Lin Mu could not understand why Jiao Fang was revealing what he had just done. Still, it didn't involve Lin Mu, so he could not say much about it except staying hidden and observing.

The guards of the discipline hall all rushed to Jiao Fang upon hearing his words and even the elder who was in charge of the hall came out.

”What are you shouting at night!” one of the guards asked.

”Please come see. The guards have all fallen unconscious for some reason. I don't know why.” Jiao fang said, anxiety and fear visible on his face.

”Is this the truth?” The elder asked with a serious expression.

”Yes, elder! I swear upon my life!” Jiao Fang declared.

The elder clenched his fist before looking at the guard beside him. ”Take some guards and check the situation. Report back to me right away after that.” He ordered.

”Yes, elder!” The guard said before leaving with his companions.

About two minutes later, one of the guards returned with news.

”It is true, elder! All the guards are unconscious and show no sign of waking up. It is likely they have been poisoned!” The guard spoke.

A frown appeared on the elder's face as he held a jade slip. He hesitated and put the jade slip back into his pocket, deciding not to use it now.
