Chapter 536
```
Celestial Master Peak was in chaos after Du Ge's disturbance, even the Xuan Gui Pearl was summoned, suppressing many disciples on the peak. Some had their meridians disrupted and were injured. Even those uninjured couldn't continue their cultivation and came out to investigate the situation.
Xu Jin Kui had no choice but to send people to comfort and treat the many disciples.
Once everything settled down, the elders of the five peaks gathered in Tianshi Hall to make a final summary of the situation.
"Sect Leader, Elder Daoming was instigated by that water monster, and his state seems a bit off," said Zhao Jinlu, the head of Celestial Pine Peak, with a gloomy face, occasionally glancing towards the Scripture Repository. "The water monster is eloquent, and it managed to persuade Elder Daoming to block an attack from you, Sect Leader, and even brought it back to the Scripture Repository. If it bewitches him..."
"Junior Brother, don't speak nonsense," Xu Jin Kui said. "Elder Daoming has guarded Dragon and Tiger Mountain for so many years; how could his will be swayed by a mere little monster? He blocked me only to protect the cultivation techniques left by the Celestial Master. I was indeed a bit impulsive earlier. If I destroyed our sect's techniques over a small demon, the Celestial Master would surely punish me. Elder Daoming did nothing wrong."
"Senior Brother, better safe than sorry," Zhao Jinlu said. "I don't doubt Elder Daoming's loyalty to Dragon and Tiger Mountain, but the damage to his Dao foundation has always been his lifelong pain. If he were to take a risk under the monster's influence, I think we should take precautions."
"Fourth Junior Brother, you overestimate that little monster," Zhou Jinping, the head of Celestial Sun Peak, laughed. "Do you really think an unknown demon could help Elder Daoming repair his Dao foundation? Elder Daoming's cultivation is maintained entirely by the pills bestowed by the Celestial Master. Without Dragon and Tiger Mountain, his cultivation would soon collapse. He wouldn't do something so foolish."

"Then why did he bring the water monster back to the Scripture Repository instead of leaving it to us to tame as a guardian beast?" Zhao Jinlu retorted. "Elder Daoming usually doesn't interfere with sect affairs except for the Scripture Repository. Shouldn't he have left the monster to us to tame?"
Mentioning the guardian beast, Tianshi Hall fell silent again.
How to put it? The idea of a guardian beast seemed a bit derogatory, but when applied to Elder Daoming, it seemed oddly fitting, and once the thought entered their minds, it couldn't be shaken off.
They all had a feeling that Elder Daoming might indeed have been deliberately left by the Celestial Master to guard Dragon and Tiger Mountain.
Otherwise, with the Celestial Master's resources in the celestial realm, repairing Elder Daoming's Dao foundation shouldn't be difficult.
For thousands of years, so many people from Dragon and Tiger Mountain have ascended to the upper realm, yet none have thought of this issue?
It seemed a bit unfair to Elder Daoming...
Chi Jinshou, the head of Tianlan Peak, shook his head, dismissing the strange thought, and frowned, "Sect Leader Brother, Fourth Brother has a point. We indeed overlooked this matter. That water monster's words might have truly struck a chord with Elder Daoming."
Xu Jin Kui glanced towards the Scripture Repository and said, "I'll arrange for someone to keep an eye on the Scripture Repository. Brothers, Dragon and Tiger Mountain is hidden by the Celestial Master's Concealing Heaven Array. No one outside the sect can enter. The appearance of this water monster is very suspicious.
Brothers, check your peaks to see who let this water monster in, whether there's a traitor within the sect, or if there's a flaw in the array.
The world is in chaos, and a great calamity is coming. Dragon and Tiger Mountain has been peaceful for so long that the disciples have become complacent. Even the Scripture Repository was almost emptied. Brothers, take this opportunity to warn the disciples of each peak."
"Yes," the peak heads responded in unison.
After a moment of hesitation, a trace of worry crossed Xu Jin Kui's eyes, and he said, "Brothers, be vigilant these days. If Elder Daoming truly has a problem, we mustn't delay in using the Mountain Guardian Sword."
The remaining four peak heads exchanged glances and agreed once more.
