Chapter 414 - The Best Era but also the Worst
Jiang Hao's heart skipped a beat at the words, his gaze fixed on the Old Master whose face was etched with gravity.
“Grandpa, what's going on?”
He couldn't fathom why the Old Master would insist on him whisking away Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle's families without a good reason.
Old Master t Jiang Hao's probing eyes and fell into a prolonged silence before finally speaking up again.
”Hao Hao, the spiritual Qi has been reawakened. It's not just us growing stronger—entities that should remain hidden are now surfacing!”
“This new era, it can be said, is both the best of tis and the worst of tis.”
Jiang Hao, piecing together the Old Master's cryptic words with the distinct Qi emanating from him, suddenly had a realization.
He faced the Old Master and asked cautiously,
“Grandpa, have you encountered sothing unclean?”
The question visibly startled the Old Master.
Seeing his reaction, Jiang Hao knew his hunch was correct.
“Hao Hao, don't concern yourself with this. Before nightfall, you must take Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle's families to safety!”
Jiang Hao looked at the anxious Old Master and wanted to say that he wasn't afraid of ghosts—it was the ghosts that feared him!
But he knew that in this mont, no matter what he said, the Old Master was unlikely to believe him.
After all, ghosts and spirits have always been shrouded in mystery to humans, untouchable and not to be spoken of lightly.
And when it cos to ghosts and deities, people have always maintained a respectful distance.
So even though Old Master was aware that Jiang Hao's martial prowess far exceeded his own, he still chose not to divulge the full details.
Just then, Jiang Hao's mind flashed with the concept of scholarly energy!
The chilling aura surrounding the Old Master must be the presence of a ghostly entity!
But scholarly energy is known to suppress Yin energy, so it should be able to neutralize it!
With this in mind, Jiang Hao resolved to test his theory.
He extended his hand, channeling the chaotic Qi within him, transforming it into scholarly energy and coating his palm.
Then, Jiang Hao placed his hand firmly on the Old Master's back.
“Grandfather, don't fight it.”
With those words, Jiang Hao began to transfer his scholarly energy into the Old Master's body through his touch.
The Old Master was poised to resist, but at the sound of Jiang Hao's voice, he froze in place.
In that mont, he felt an incredibly warm energy infuse his body, and the stubborn chill within him t its match.
Like ice before the sun, it lted away in an instant, completely neutralized in the blink of an eye.
The martial cultivator's aura, long suppressed by the Yin Qi, burst forth with renewed vigor, like a phoenix rising from the ashes.
His blood and Qi roared through his veins, his entire being alight with energy as if he were a great, blazing furnace.
The Old Master's vitality was restored, and his complexion blood with health in re monts.
Jiang Hao then retracted his hand and regarded the Old Master, who returned his gaze in utter astonishnt.
”Hao Hao, what was that Qi?” he asked.
Jiang Hao replied with a smile, “Grandfather, have you ever heard of the ancient sages, whose re words could make the gods themselves retreat? This power is unlike the Genuine Qi we martial cultivators harness. It's specifically designed to vanquish ghosts and gods, the nesis of all things malevolent.”
The Old Master gasped sharply, the revelation taking his breath away.
”Hiss… A force that specifically counters ghosts and gods?”
Such a mystical power existed?
The Old Master's heart was awash with turmoil that refused to settle.
Finally, after a lengthy silence and a face that flickered with indecision, he made up his mind.
“Very well, I'll take you to a place,” he said.
With that, the Old Master turned and strode away, Jiang Hao promptly following behind.
