Chapter 23: Scheming Old Cultivators
After the Elders had left to attend their own business, a crouching old man reappeared near the cell where Han Xuhan’s memory had been unlocked.
"I must know how that guy did it. I tried for so long, yet the array wouldn’t activate. It was almost as if there was no memory seal in the boy’s mind. How did that amateur run the array?"
Wu Di examined the microscopic designs on the wall of the cell, trying to find what changes made by his competitor had successfully kicked off the memory awakening procedure.
But even after spending a long time walking around the cell, he discovered nothing.
"Ai~ It looks like my age is catching up to my skills. How many years do I have left? No, I have to enter seclusion and break through the current bottleneck.
"It doesn’t matter if that little piece of shit is after my position as the lead arraymaker of the sect. Once I manage to break through, he won’t stand a chance in front of my skills."
Lamenting to himself in a low voice, Elder Wu Di hurried away. Barely a minute later, a disturbance became visible in the air around the cell. It was as if the space itself was being twisted into chaotic shapes!
Suddenly, a man rolled out of the chaotic spatial mass and began to wheeze for breaths. But a smile was plastered on his face nonetheless.
"Yes! That old man has been fooled! Hahaha!"
The distorted space began to settle down, and the man crawled over to the vibrating walls of the cell to fix the arrays.
"What a stroke of luck! Now Wu Di will abandon his post to enter seclusion. This is my chance to snatch the resources of his mountain peak! Nobody will know my little trick on this array!"
