Chapter 519: A Key To A Key (1/2)

After hearing the last sentence of the man, Lin Mu couldn't help but raise his brows.

”Steal from the sect patriarch? Won't that be extremely dangerous?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Yes. But not if you do it the way I tell you.” Jiao Fang replied.

”You got some more information on this?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Indeed. Over the years I spent in the sect, I learned a few things, since I often needed to do things that were not exactly according to the rules. I did this all for the inheritance, of course.

It was also during one of these things that I learned of the key that the sect patriarch had. Since the patriarch often needs to attend to the matters of the sect that are of utmost importance, he cannot personally go to the vault when things are needed.

Because of this, he would place his key at a designated location where the high elders of the sect have access to it. As long as they have the permission of the sect patriarch, they would be able to enter this place and take the key.

But this only lasts for one use after which the key would stop working.” Jiao Fang explained.

”Is this how you got the part of the key to the treasure pavilion too?” Lin Mu questioned.

”Not exactly. The treasure pavilion has items that are of way less important than the vaults. Thus they have multiple keys that are the medallions. These medallions are often split into multiple parts so that no single person can access them on their own.

I just had to find someone who had a piece of that medallion and take it from them.” Jiao Fang replied.

It was now that Lin MU realized what must have happened with Jiao Fang on the day he met him.

”You don't mean that the day I saw you for the first time, you had just fought someone for that piece of the medallion?” Lin Mu questioned.

”You won't be wrong. It was just some junior elder who was carrying the medallion.” Jiao Fang answered.

”But wouldn't that bring problems? Killing an elder must be problematic, especially since you live in the sect itself.” Lin Mu asked.

”It would have been like this a couple of years ago. But recently I don't know what happened to the sect, but the higher ups of the sect have changed greatly. It's almost as if they don't care what happens to their people.

It was only when Alchemist Bilao said he was going to break through to the nascent soul realm, that they all got busy showing their concern. Even if I had killed the junior elder, the sect won't find it out for a few months at the very least.
