"I'm afraid we can't postpone it."
Shen Qingxuan cut him off.
"Besides, who in the Feng Family can still safeguard such a secret manual?"
His contempt made the Feng Family members bristle, but they had no answer.
Shen Qingxuan swept his gaze around the courtyard and suddenly unleashed his aura.
Pressure vast as mountains and seas engulfed the courtyard. Those with weaker cultivation levels could barely breathe.
"Ninth Heaven Peak!"
Lan Hengyu frowned.
Shen Qingxuan, the Shen Family Patriarch, had kept a low profile for years. Even when the Feng Family had pressured the Shen Family, he had never revealed his cultivation level in public.
No one had expected him to quietly reach Ninth Heaven Peak, much less reveal it now.
He had certainly picked his moment.
Shen Qingxuan looked pleased by everyone's shock.
"As it happens, my 390th birthday is in seven days. The Shen Family has kept to itself for years, and we've had far less contact with the other families of Heavenly Prefecture. Since you're all here, allow me to formally invite you to visit the Shen Family in seven days. I hope we'll have a chance to catch up."
His words caused another stir.
Shen Qingxuan clearly meant to bring the Shen Family back into Heavenly Prefecture's social circle.
And with his strength at Ninth Heaven Peak, the Shen Family would become one of Heavenly Prefecture's foremost powers as soon as it returned.
The patriarchs of several families exchanged glances.
The Shen Family had lain low for years, but now that it had emerged, it had made quite an entrance.
They would have to think carefully about how to deal with the Shen Family from now on.
"I hope you'll all come."
Shen Qingxuan smiled and cupped his hands. His gaze paused briefly on Su Ye.
