Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 534 - Caught Red Handed?

When Lin Mu looked up at the sky, he could see that the spatial crack had expanded even more.

"Hmm... you will have about thirty minutes more. You should head to the Herb peak first and get the things from there, as you already have the token. You can spend the rest of the time gathering items from the pill peak and the other stores." Xukong suggested.

"Alright senior." Lin Mu said before sinking into the ground and heading to the Herb peak.

He took a look at the warehouses and saw that there were actually some guards still there.

’Looks like peak master Shaoyan Qianyu is still cautious... I’ll just have to focus on the vaults first...’ Lin Mu thought to himself.

He quickly made his way to the vault at the top. Lin Mu had already seen that the peak master was at the tribulation platform and thus did not worry that he would be found out there.

Reaching the compound of the peak master, Lin Mu took out the token and let the formations of the vault scan it.

~Weeng~

The formation verified Lin Mu’s identity from the token and opened the door. But the moment Lin Mu stepped through the vault he felt a strange wave pass over him. The wave moved to the spatial storage ring he had on his index finger that was fixed by Jing Wei and covered it in a peculiar layer.

"What was that?" Lin Mu questioned, while looking at the ring on his hand.

"Seems like a restriction. It will prevent you from using spatial storage tools inside the vault. This is probably designed to prevent the token holder from taking more than allowed." Xukong said.

"Hmm... is that so?" Lin Mu said as he touched one of the herb boxes and found the token becoming active again.

The token glowed and marked the box with a symbol before disintegrating.

"Ah, so they made it so I could only carry one item out of the vault and prevented the use of the spatial storage treasures." Lin Mu realized.

But then, Lin Mu tapped the box with his hand and made it disappeared.

"Just as I thought. It can’t restrict the mysterious ring." Lin Mu muttered before looking at the other boxes.

He tried to pick one of them up but found them to be stuck, as if weighed by tons of rocks.

"Damn... another restriction." Lin Mu cursed.

He looked around before an idea appeared in his mind. Instead of touching the boxes of herbs that were kept on the various shelves and tables, Lin Mu touched the tables and shelves themselves.

"Aha! So the restriction is only placed on the boxes themselves." Lin Mu realized the loophole.

When he stored the shelves and tables, the boxes kept on them were stored as well. With this fact in hand, Lin Mu swept the place clean before leaving the vault, which automatically closed.

"Shaoyan Qianyu will definitely be pissed when she sees this." Lin Mu couldn’t help but imagine.

He then checked the sky and saw the spatial cracks expanding even more. He was about to leave when his gaze was caught by the herb garden.

"Almost forgot about them." Lin Mu said before picking out all the valuable herbs in the garden.

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!"
