Chapter 1177
After preparing quite a number of tributes, Nash walked toward the back of the mountain supported by
Joan and Second Madam Lizzie.
Not long later, the crowd arrived at the back of the mountain. There was a cemetery in the area where
the ancestors o f the Woods family were buried. A huge stone slab covered the cemetery's entrance,
and it gave everyone a somber, solemn feeling.
After arranging the tributes to honor the ancestors, Titus appeared in front of the crowd and said lots of
propitious words. He then said to the crowd, "Bow."
Everybody immediately bowed solemnly.
The Third Elder purposely stood behind the
First Elder all the while, and at that moment, Chi surged from his palm. He struck at the First Elder'snovelbin
back with all his might.
The First Elder had been guarding against the Third Elder. He was surprised when he felt the
movement behind him and immediately concentrated a thin layer of protective Chi layer around his
body.
His protective Chi barrier managed to intercept the Third Elder's attack right at the nick of time.
Thoom!
A loud rumble was heard as the Chi barrier was destroyed. The Third Elder's attack directly landed on
the First Elder's back.
Puff!
The First Elder was sent flying as blood spewed from his mouth. He dropped to the ground right after.
"What's going on?" Many people immediately moved backward after they realized what had happened.
"Third Elder, you..." The First Elder eyed the Third Elder, shocked and fearful. He was lucky that he had
his guard up against the Third Elder, and that was why he could concentrate a Chi protective layer so
quickly. Although he was hurt, his injuries were not that serious.
If Fane had not told him of this before, Wade's attack would have done a total on him, and he might not
have managed to form the protective Chi layer on time. He might have been injured gravely... He could
have died, even.
"Third Elder, you... You really disappoint m e!" Nash shot the Third Elder a deadly glare.
At that moment, Lily—who stood beside Nash—glowered viciously.
