Chapter 17: Elder Wu Di’s Nightmare
The array worked? How?!
Elder Wu, whose whole life had been spent cultivating spiritual arts in the domain of memories, thoughts, and dreams, felt like he was trapped in a nightmare.
How did this amateur modify the array? He himself had examined it moments ago. There wasn’t anything wrong with it!
Noticing the snide gazes and whispers among the remaining dozen Elders gathered around the cell, Wu Di took a firm mental stance—denial.
Hmph! I don’t believe it! That guy must have cheated!
But he couldn’t just interrupt the procedures at the moment. The operation was delicate. Under Xuan Zi’s pointed look, he had to move to take over the other guy’s original spot.
Controlling his bubbling fury, Wu Di focused on the task at hand. He had to power a secondary array to force open the memory seal.
"Should it be anything remotely risky, we’ll have to follow the protocols, unfortunate for him...mortal fate is so pitiful at times," one of the younger Elders said, shaking her head with a rueful expression.
"When have the heavens ever been fair?" Xuan Zi spoke in a heavy tone.
Almost a little too quickly and smoothly, the memory seal was broken. Wu Di glared once again at the Elder replacing him suspiciously.
As the masters discussed the plausible scenarios based on their experiences, Xuan Zi perked up and hushed everyone.
