Chapter 535 - Uprooting A Vault

Chapter 535 - Uprooting A Vault

Lin Mu now knew he was at the end of the line. He would have to act quick and wrap this up or everything would mess up even more. Quickly thinking of potential solutions, Lin Mu lunged at Wu Teng.

~thud~

The man responded by punching at him, but Lin Mu blocked it with ease. He was now seeing the benefit of the mortal strengthening scripture and was grateful to senior Xukong for teaching it to him.

Wu Teng was shocked upon seeing his full power punch being blocked with ease. Lin Mu took advantage of this and knocked him out by hitting his head. A faint crack could be heard, which made Lin Mu anxious.

He checked Wu Teng to see if he was alive and took a breath of relief when he truly was. The crack was due to a defensive treasure breaking on Wang Xiong’s body. It had taken the blow but was unable to bear it.

Lin Mu’s attack should have been dulled by it but it was still powerful enough to knock Wu Teng out.

~phew~

"Need to control my strength better..." Lin Mu muttered to himself before blinking to the vault.

While he was going there, the people at the tribulation platform had all heard the shout and were now aware alert.

"ELDERS! SECURE THE AREA! DHARMA PROTECTORS WATCH BILAO!" The sect patriarch immediately issued orders.

~shua~shua~shua~

A bunch of old men moved like the wind and got into their positions. Some were sitting around the tribulation platform as Dharma protectors while some were checking the outer area of the tribulation platform.

"The area is secure patriarch, we don’t think there are any intruders here." One of the elders reported.

Mudan looked at the pill peak and spoke, "Yi Deng, tend to your peak. Disciplinary pavilion members get to your duty. I want the intruder captured as soon as possible. And make sure no one comes near the tribulation platform."

Peak master Yi Deng, who had been anxious since hearing the shout of Wu Teng immediately flew away. He had recognized the voice and knew that it was his son-in-law. If he was the one who had shouted then it meant the intruder was strong.

The disciples who were watching all this muttered amongst themselves, but no one dared to make noise. They knew if they did that and it interfered with Bilao’s breakthrough, the blame could potentially fall on them.

Though there was one person among the disciples who had a smile on his face.

"Let’s see how you deal with all this Wu Lian..." Jiao Fang muttered to himself as he looked at the pill peak.

Jiao Fang had actually not expected that Lin Mu would be able to hide for this long. Even though he knew Lin Mu was able to open the vault with ease, there were still additional factors which could spell trouble.

It was one of those very unexpected factors that had caused Lin Mu to get stuck in his folly.

***

Lin Mu was now at the vault at the top of the pill peak. He knew that unraveling the formations was out of his options now, as the sect disciples and elders had already been alerted. This meant that they would be here any second.

Lin Mu gritted his teeth and wondered if he would have to abandon this vault perhaps. He had not even had the chance to get the other pill repositories and the warehouses, thus it would be a bit underwhelming.

Though it would be fine in the end, as their main goal was to only rob four vaults from the total twelve storage locations.

"If only I could have more time..." Lin Mu muttered to himself.

Then suddenly... an idea hit Lin Mu.

"WAIT! Can this work?" Lin Mu wondered.

He walked to the side of the vault and pushed on its walls. Even with his full strength, Lin Mu was unable to make it budge.

"If I can’t open the vault right now, I may as well take the entire vault." Lin Mu said with determination.

He tried strong the vault in the ring but couldn’t do it. The vault was embedded in the ground along with multiple formations preventing it from moving.

"I need to separate it from the ground and the formation array... separate... hang on! SEPARATE!" Lin Mu suddenly exclaimed.

He extended both his hands towards the vault and took a deep breath.

"Here goes nothing.... MELD!" Lin Mu said as he activated his fifth skill.

~shua~

A sharp wave of spirit Qi could be felt in the air as the space suddenly blame unstable. Lin Mu used his spirit sense in combination with the skill to guide it around the vault. Of course, this was still too much for him and he could make mistakes.

Black lines appeared around the entire vault as Meld separated it from the real world. In order to not damage or cut the vault irregularly, Lin Mu had to put 110% of his focus into it.

’IT IS DONE!’ Lin MU thought in his mind as he kept the skill active.

He then kneeled down and slid his hand under the vault.

~HAAA~

With a loud grunt, Lin Mu managed to lift the entire vault from the ground. One could see that there were chunks of soil attached to it that had been lifted too. He also realized that the weight of the vault was still present despite the use of the skill.

~Huala~

Then suddenly the vault disappeared from the real world and entered his ring.

"STOP IT, YOU THIEF! Dare to take it and I will skin you!" Yi Deng Shouted from afar but then became dumbstruck seeing the vault disappear into thin air.

He knew that if one wanted to take away the vault, they would have to deal with formation arrays and locks which had held the vault in place. There were many people in the world who would be able to do something like this and thus he wasn’t as cautious.

But now that very same thing had come to bite him in the ass.

"YOU!!" Yi Deng shouted, as his face turned red with rage.
