Chapter 531 - An Uproar And Time For Tribulation
Having chatted for a bit, Shaoyan Qianyu found Wu Lian to be quite a good disciple. He didn’t have that arrogance that most other disciples she saw had even if they tried to hide it in front of her.
Plus, Lin Mu had the strength to back up his claim and the mental fortitude to wait for the right opportunities without rushing in. She had not seen many people like this in her life, especially in cultivators, since they often liked to chase after resources.
"I shall take my leave then peak master and not take any more of your precious time." Lin Mu said.
"Alright. Though be careful if you are going to do what you said you will. The people of the sect have... become strange in these two years." Shaoyan Qianyu replied.
Hearing this perked up Lin Mu’s ears as a thought appeared in his mind.
’She’s not under Gu Yao’s control?’ Lin Mu wondered.
But he did not dare to show any change on his face. He could think of this later on, when he was away from her.
Lin Mu thus stood up and bowed to Shaoyan Qianyu before leaving through the main door. He didn’t waste this opportunity to take a look around the formations either, and sensed that the formations on the vault had been modified a bit.
"Thankfully, I have the token, or it could have become a problem at the last moment if I couldn’t unravel the formations at the time of tribulation..." Lin Mu muttered to himself.
"Seems like reading the memoirs of the lost immortal also gave some skills in acting. Hahaha!" Xukong laughed.
"It’s not much senior. I just tried my best." Lin Mu replied.
"If you say so..." Xukong said before going silent.
She had already considered Wu Lian to be part of her peak and would be under her guidance. She had asked him which peak he was affiliated with and told her that he was one of the few rare ones that were unaffiliated. At that time she had kept a straight face, but internally she was rejoicing.
~huu~
"Hopefully Bilao completes his breakthrough quickly so this tense situation calms down again..." Shaoyan Qianyu muttered to herself.

About five days passed by in the blink of an eye, and finally, it was time for Bilao’s heavenly tribulation.
He had already informed the sect about it yesterday when he felt the first sensation and quickly rushed to the Tribulation platform, which was already prepared since a month ago.
Lin Mu had also not been idle during these five days and had passed them in studying the formations around the places he was going to rob. He already felt that he would be able to resolve them quickly if everything went well.
"How long do you think his heavenly tribulation will last senior?" Lin Mu questioned.
Lin Mu had learned that the duration of heavenly tribulations was quite long depending on the cultivator’s talent and luck. He had read the memoirs of the lost immortal which described some legendary heavenly tribulations which would last for days if not months.
But he was pretty sure nothing of that sort would happen here.
"Hmm... from what we saw before and the spatial fluctuations around Bilao, he should be having a basic heavenly tribulation. The lightning bolts themselves should only last for about fifteen minutes, but the phase before that should be at least an hour long." Xukong answered.
"I see. Everyone should be observing the tribulation platform at that point and the number of guards should be minimal. That will be my time to act." Lin Mu said with a glint in his eye.
Right now the sect had officially announced the arrival of the heavenly tribulation and had informed the disciples to gather at the tribulation platform. Lin Mu blended in with these disciples as well, and headed to the main peak, but instead of stopping at the tribulation platform, he slipped away.
"It is time..."
