Chapter 112: Changes on the Altar

What changed on the altar?

The Great Wizard glanced at the altar, puzzled, only then noticing that a child had disappeared from it at some point.

"A child is gone!"

The Great Wizard frowned, immediately issuing orders to the Nanjiang soldiers.

"Bring that child back to me!"

Ji Youyuan shook his head at these words, sighed lightly, and said, "Alas! Great Wizard, you’ve truly grown old. You only noticed that a child is missing from the altar. Didn’t you notice anything wrong with the array pattern on this altar?"

)

What’s wrong?

Only then did the Great Wizard begin to carefully examine the array lines on the altar.

Suddenly, he saw that two lines in the middle were actually...

This is impossible! Why? Why would anyone be able to change my array lines?

The Great Wizard shook his head, his face filled with utter disbelief, his eyes wide with terror and incredulity.

"Why is it impossible? Great Wizard, don’t think that you’re the only one in this world who knows these crooked ways. Although I, Feng Wushang, am not very talented, I came to look yesterday. I did a little research when I returned and managed to alter your array lines. According to the array’s directional mapping, I, Feng Wushang, on behalf of His Majesty of Great Han and its people, thank you, Great Wizard, for praying for our Great Han!"

The National Master spoke politely, but his face showed no trace of politeness.

"You? Feng Wushang! There’s no way you could decipher my array, let alone tamper with it! You simply don’t have that capability!"

The Great Wizard flatly refused to believe what his ears were hearing. He knew Feng Wushang’s abilities well. This man might have silver hair, but his capabilities weren’t as striking as his hair!

"I didn’t have that capability before, but I do now. Your information is too outdated."

The National Master didn’t want to waste any more words with this Great Wizard.

Who does he think he’s looking down on?

If it came to a fight, he was indeed no match for the Great Wizard. But if it was about manipulating arrays...

Alright... he hadn’t reached that realm yet!

The truth was, the modification had been made by the Second Madam of the Ji Family. Ji Youyuan had brought the diagrams to him the previous night, and Feng Wushang had merely implemented the changes. However, Ji Youyuan had instructed him not to reveal Huo Xing’Er’s name, allowing him to take the credit.

"You... This can’t be, it’s absolutely impossible! Who? Who changed my array?"

The Great Wizard became frantic, drawing an arc with his staff, its tip pointing at Li Yanyan, who lay in the crystal coffin. "Since the array has changed, then I’ll destroy her!"

The crystal ball at the staff’s tip flashed with golden light, continuously absorbing the red Qi stream surrounding Li Yanyan within the crystal coffin.

"Wow, look closely at the crystal ball on that staff!"

From afar, Xiaosuisui stared, unblinking, at the crystal ball on the Great Wizard’s staff.

It’s so magical! That crystal ball can actually absorb that Celestial Dao Qi.

"Isn’t it pretty? Xiaosuisui, do you want it?"

Zhu Xiuxiu, disguised as a soldier, suddenly appeared, casually joining the conversation.

Xiaosuisui nodded vigorously. "Yes, yes, I want it!"

Huo Xing’Er glanced disapprovingly at Zhu Xiuxiu. "Don’t stir up trouble. That staff is Nanjiang’s ultimate treasure; it won’t be easy to get your hands on it."

Zhu Xiuxiu said noncommittally, "You never know. When Xiaosuisui wants something, it might just deliver itself to her."

Wang Dongxue remained silent, glancing meaningfully at Xiaosuisui, then at the staff in the Great Wizard’s hand.

"If the Nanjiang Royal Court loses this ultimate treasure, I guarantee that for a hundred years, they wouldn’t dare take a single step onto our Great Han’s soil!"

The young Emperor, seated in the Imperial Carriage, overheard the entire conversation between Xiaosuisui and her three maternal aunts.

Women and children... their thoughts are always so naive. However, what the First Madam of the Ji Family said... there seems to be some truth to it!

Just as the young Emperor was thinking this, he saw the situation on the altar change.
