Chapter 4179: Twilight of the Years

is figure, which had been about to enter the world, retreated instead, instantly pulling back ten thousand zhang away."Boom!"A deafening explosion suddenly erupted from where Jiang Yun had previously...This old man had wrinkles upon wrinkles on his face, only a few sparse strands of hair left on his head, loose skin and a bony frame, looking extremely aged.

When he stepped out of the house, his body trembled and he gasped for breath heavily. Clearly, he was an old man nearing the end of his life.

"Ancestor, how did you come out"

And with the appearance of this elder, several members of the Qi family immediately exclaimed in surprise and rushed forward, wanting to help him up.

This old man, of course, is the ancestor of the Qi family.

He was indeed nearing the end of his days, so he spent most of his time holed up in that dilapidated shack, rarely venturing out.

Nobody expected him to appear at this time.

Facing the Qi family members surrounding him, the elder simply waved his hand, stopping everyone from getting closer. He said coldly, "We are about to be exterminated by them, can I still sit here idly"

Though the old man's appearance may seem frail, his voice is surprisingly loud.

The old man raised his head, looked at Luoshiwu in the air, and said coldly: "Luoshiwu, go back and tell Kutzhu, although my Qi family has fallen, we will not allow anyone to ride on our necks and run wild!"

He is strong, we are not his match. He set the rules, so naturally, we will follow his rules.

But if he breaks his own rules first, we won't be polite either, it's all or nothing.

"Pfft!" As soon as the elder finished speaking, Lu Shiwu couldn't help but burst into laughter. "Mr. Qi, I'm sorry. See, how could I have forgotten you"

But, you said you're an old man, shouldn't you just stay home and wait to die instead of running around

"Let me relay a message to our boss. I can't do it, but considering your age, I could leave you a whole corpse."

"Die, old man!"

Luo Shiwu casually raised his hand and, with a flick of his wrist, struck the elder with a palm strike that seemed to defy gravity.

He didn't take Qi Jia's ancestor seriously at all.

Although he had some skill in the past, he is now nothing but a dying man.

Seeing Lu Shiwu attack the ancestor, Qi Yuncan, who had already stood up, hurriedly moved his body and rushed towards the ancestor.

No matter what, he cannot allow the ancestor to be harmed.

However, just at that moment, the old man let out a low roar: "Don't come any closer!"

As soon as the words left his lips, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from his emaciated body. He raised his hand and met the oncoming palm with a strike of his own.

"Boom!"

With a deafening explosion, two palms collided heavily, sending up a monstrous wave of air that swept in all directions.

"Ta-da!"

Above the sky, Rao Shi Wu's body, hit by the airwaves, was uncontrollably retreating backward step by step.

He didn't stop until he had retreated dozens of steps. Even before his body was completely steady, he opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood!

Looking at the old man again, although he was also swept by the air waves, his thin and withered body stood firm like a mountain, unmoving.

Although the elder still appears frail and aged, his overall bearing has undergone a dramatic transformation.

Especially in those originally murky eyes, there was now a light shining brightly.

This scene not only stunned Luo Shiwu and the other twelve cultivators, but even all the Qi family members widened their eyes in disbelief at what they were seeing.

For the Qi family, the existence of their ancestor is not a symbol of strength, but merely a spiritual reliance and attachment.

Because they all know that although the old ancestor was very powerful in the past, with the passage of time and changes in the environment, his body has gradually weakened year by year, and his strength has naturally declined.

To be blunt, the Ancestor is just clinging to life, waiting for his time to come.

But now, the ancestor has easily repelled Luo Shiwu with a single palm strike, even injuring him.

This clearly means that the Ancestor's strength has not weakened in the slightest.

That is to say, all these years, the Ancestor has always been deliberately feigning weakness, concealing his talents and abilities.

Only until today, when the Qi family faced imminent destruction, was he forced to reveal himself. He would now stand alone, with all his might, to stem the tide and support his entire family!

The old man looked coldly at Luo Shiwu and said, "Luo Shiwu, now, can you convey my words to Ku Zhu"

Lu Shiwu wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, although he was shocked in his heart, a sinister smile still appeared on his face: "Grandpa Qi, you really hide well!"

Since Master Qi is still as vigorous as ever, I will naturally help deliver your message.

"Farewell!"

After uttering those words, Luo Shiwu immediately waved his hand and, with the eleven cultivators following him, actually turned around and left.

As soon as they finally disappeared, the Qi family members immediately gathered around their ancestor, each of their faces filled with excitement and elation.

The Ancestor's strength is still there, for each member of the Qi family, it is truly a joyous occasion.

This means that from then on, their family could finally stop paying tribute and live a more relaxed life than before.

Therefore, some people were even moved to tears of joy.

Qi Yuncan also rushed over, reaching out to grab the ancestor's arm, and asked with concern: "Ancestor, are you alright"

The astonishing aura that had just erupted from the elder had dissipated, and he once again appeared as a frail old man at the end of his days.

This time, he didn't refuse Qi Yuncan's support again. Instead, he slowly sat down and after coughing violently several times, he gasped, "Yuncan stay, the rest of you, go pack your things first."

Packing up

Upon hearing the words from the Ancestor, everyone's faces were filled with confusion, not understanding why the Ancestor would have them pack their belongings.

The old man, however, didn't explain at all. He just glared and said, "Go quickly."

Everyone dared not ask any further, they hurriedly dispersed and returned to their own houses to pack their belongings.

Even Qi Yuncan, who was left alone, looked at the ancestor in confusion.

The old ancestor gasped twice more, lowering his voice: "Yun Can, my time is running out."

"What!"

Qi Yuncan's face changed, just as he was about to speak, but the ancestor stopped him with a wave of his hand. "Listen to me," he said.

"That bitter bamboo will definitely not give up. It won't be long before he comes back again."

By then, I might be able to stand against him in battle, but I fear I would not be his match.

"I don't mind if I die, but if I do, you won't live either."

"So, instead of me fighting him to the death, why don't I take advantage of the time and strength I still have left to get you all out of this Huajiang Realm and find a new world to live in."

"Ancestor!" Qi Yuncan's face changed drastically. He finally understood completely. The ancestor's display of power just now was all an act, merely to scare off Luo Shiwu and the others, to buy some time, and lead all the Qi family members away from this realm.

The old man continued, "However, I don't know if I can persist in bringing you to another world. I don't know if the other world is truly stronger than the Hua Jiang Realm."

Therefore, from now on, you are the new head of our Qi Family!

Qi Yuncan's body trembled violently, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.

He knew that the old ancestor was settling his affairs after death.

Although he wanted the ancestor to stop talking, he didn't dare to say anything.

The old man trembled as he fished out a token from his bosom. He held it in his hand, gazing at it for a long time before sighing and turning his eyes away.

Just as he was about to hand the token over to Qi Yuncan, he suddenly felt his hand go empty. The token had vanished from his grasp.

This caused the elder's face to change drastically. He looked up and saw a strange middle-aged man standing before him, holding his own token in his hand.

Qiyun Can also saw this man, his face changed drastically and said: "What are you going to do!"

"I have already answered your questions, you said you would let me go!"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!to survive this invasion of ghostly energy."Fortunately, at this time, Meng Qiao, who had always been sitting with his eyes closed in the darkness, suddenly spoke up: 'If it weren't for Dao Zun valuin...
