Chapter 519: A Key To A Key

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.

Even then there is a chance it would take longer as the mission the junior elder was going on was a long term one and he would have been gone for at least a couple of months even if he completed it early.

Still fighting that man took out a lot from me and that was the reason for my appearance that day.” Jiao Fang replied.

Lin Mu nodded at the man and understood that he was someone who set up various masks to hide his true self. The man in front of Lin Mu was fickle and devious. Had it not been for Lin Mu’s overwhelming display of strength, it was likely the man would have still been scheming against him.

“So, do you not care for the sect? And do you not have loyalty to it?” Lin Mu finally asked the question that had been bugging him for a while.

“Not really. Ever since I got the inheritance, I didn’t really care for the sect as it is now a mere stepping stone for me. Once I get all parts of the inheritance, it won’t be hard for me to control the entire sect on my own.” Jiao Fang said with fires of ambition burning in his mind.

Lin Mu almost wanted to tell him how ironic this was, as there was already someone that was controlling the sect behind everyone’s back. And not only this, but they were also controlling a ton of more sects, either directly or indirectly.

“So where is this place where the patriarch puts the key to the vault?” Lin Mu questioned.

Jiao Fang pulled out a map of the sect from his spatial storage ring and spread it on the table. Lin Mu could see a lot of markings that were made on the map and guessed that these were the places of importance according to Jiao Fang.

“The key is located in an inconspicuous location just south of the elder residences. The location in question is a small shrine that is seldom visited by anyone, including the other elders of the sect. Only the patriarch and the elders who have been given permission to go there.” Jiao Fang explained.

“Hmm… so this is the location. But what about the security? There should be some, right?” Lin Mu questioned.

“There is indeed. There are formation arrays that only recognize the sect elders and they are also active 24/7 unlike the other identity formations of the sect which only scan every few hours.” Jiao Fang answered.

“Getting into this shrine will be hard then. I’ll have to unravel the formations.” Lin Mu muttered.

“I already have this part solved.” Jiao Fang said before he took out the piece of medallion from his spatial storage ring.

“This medallion piece already has the identity of the elder that it belonged to. You should be able to get into the shrine without much trouble.” Jiao Fang said.

“But won’t the sect found out that one of their elder’s borrowed this? How would that be possible if they were never in the sect?” Lin Mu asked for clarity.

“You won’t have to worry about that if you are only going to stay here a short time. The patriarch would only check the shrine next month after Alchemist Bilao’s tribulation is over.” Jiao Fang stated.
