Chapter 77 - Core Elders Meet

The Patriarch, known as Yun Wen, was a man whose presence alone commanded attention and respect. He was not merely a leader; he was the embodiment of the clan's legacy and its guiding force. His features bore the marks of a life dedicated to the highest echelons of martial and spiritual respect. Despite his advanced age, his appearance was deceivingly youthful, a proof to the power of his Qi cultivation. His skin was smooth and seemed to radiate an inner light, a common trait among those who had reached the realm of Qi Lords. His eyes, sharp and penetrating, glimmered with the wisdom of a century or two, capable of instilling both awe and fear in those who met his gaze.
