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 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.
