Chapter 534: Caught Red Handed? (2/2)

He especially focused on the earth elemental herbs as they would help him further his Mortal Strengthening scripture's progress.

”There we go. Now to head to the next place.” Lin Mu said before a loud noise was heard.

~Rumble~

Lin Mu looked up and saw that the dark clouds had already started to appear above the tribulation platform.

”Shit! Gotta be faster.” Lin Mu urged himself before leaving the herb peak.

He knew that there was still some time until the tribulation clouds will be at their full potential before the tribulation will actually start. Lin Mu just hoped that he would be done before that. Thankfully, by now most of the disciples had gathered around the tribulation platform and he did not encounter anyone.

He weaved his way through the houses before reaching the first vault which was located near the residences of the Elders. Lin Mu got to unraveling the formations, but found these ones to be a bit more difficult for him.

Sweat dripped from his forehead as ten minutes passed.

~shing~

Finally, he unraveled the last layer and the door of the vault opened.

”YES!” Lin Mu rejoiced before getting to work.

There were thousands of pill bottles, vials, storage gourds, and boxes kept in the vault. Lin Mu could identify a few of them and felt happy. There were even a couple of pills that were of earth attribute, and could be of help to him. Albeit they were of a lower quality than that of the Dark Soil pill that he had consumed before and would probably not help him as much.

Still, he was pleased with it as even little progress would be beneficial to him. Having stored all the pill containers in the ring, Lin Mu had just consoled the vault door when he heard footsteps.

”HALT! WHO ARE YOU!” A voice shouted from behind him.

Lin Mu recognized it and internally cursed. Quickly thinking of an idea, Lin Mu placed his hand on his face and let a broken mask appear. This was the very mask that Ye Zi Jin had worn before, which was a high grade spirit tool.

Lin Mu then turned around and saw the man standing there.

”Why is Wu Teng still here? Shouldn't he have been at the tribulation platform?” Lin Mu murmured.

Wu Teng also looked at the masked man in front of him and seemed to have recognized the mask.

”That's Ye Zi Jin's mask! What did you do with her! Where is she?!” Wu Teng questioned.

Lin Mu didn't speak a word and was about to restrain Wu Teng when the man realized the situation and raised an alarm.

”INTRUDER! THERE IS AN INTRUDER ON THE PILL PEAK! THE VAULT HAS BEEN ROBBED!” Wu Teng Yelled at the top of his lungs, his voice being amplified by spirit Qi.

The voice echoed between the peaks as it was heard by nearly every person in the sect.

”Fuck!”
