Several moments later, the stone house of Grand Elder Ding Shan burst open and a burly figure emerged from within. He was surrounded by an intense wave of heat that forced any onlookers to keep their distance.
The Grand Elder stepped out of the stone house and although mere half a day had passed, it felt like he had aged decades. His body stood erect, a mighty mountain immovable and unyielding. The strands of black hair at his temples had disappeared and his once weary face was now radiant and rosy. He carried an aura of austerity and grandeur about him.
The powerful and overwhelming aura radiating from him was due to his recent breakthrough, which had left him unable to freely control his Combat Qi. He seemed to exude a scorching heat like molten magma, and even from a distance of more than ten feet, one could feel the heat waves hitting their face.
"Greetings, Chief!"
After he stepped out to the courtyard, Tie Wen, in a few flashes, appeared before Xiao Chen, bowing in respect.
