Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny

Chapter 2559: Chapter 2560: The Events of That Year, the Void Like a Drum

Upon seeing Shen Muyu’s expression, the Family Head sighed lightly, "It seems you understand. Yes, the Family Head of the Shen Family at that time was the first to engage the battle, but tragically was ambushed by evil entities and was parasitized by them!"

"To prevent him from causing further harm, the senior members of the Shen Family eliminated him, but soon the situation spiraled out of control. The successive parasitism and demise of several senior members finally made the Shen Family realize that these evil entities had clearly cracked the Shen Family’s bloodline!"

"Even those with high Cultivation Levels couldn’t avoid being parasitized by the evil entities, let alone the ordinary disciples, which is why that ban on movement was imposed!"

"But once the Shen Family seniors knew of this and had eradicated those invading evil entities, they were severely depleted. All their elite forces were practically wiped out, and even the survivors had hardly any fighting power left, leading to a withdrawal behind closed doors!"

"After all, given the circumstances at that time, if the Shen Family were to campaign, not only would it be unhelpful but might also provide a great advantage to the invading evil entities! You must know that once parasitized by evil entities, the Sword Heart of the Shen Family would shatter very quickly, but before shattering, it would unleash astonishing combat power."

"Now, do you understand the truth of the past?"

Shen Muyu began to tremble, feeling half joy and half anger.

The joy was because his family indeed hadn’t acted selfishly but had a special reason.

The anger was due to the despicable means of those invading evil entities.

"But why have you never mentioned these things before?" Shen Muyu asked.

"Mentioned? To whom? Outsiders wouldn’t believe, and insiders wouldn’t ask, besides, do you think I would reveal the Shen Family’s most fatal weakness to others?"

"What weakness?"

"Those senior members who died were truly the elite of the Shen Family. Their passing led to the Shen Family’s top-tier combat power never recovering, otherwise, do you think someone with my limited strength could actually become the Family Head?"

Shen Muyu fell silent.

Though he wanted to refute, he knew the Family Head’s words were indeed the truth.

Over the years, the Shen Family’s top-tier combat power had always been lacking, so much so that he, as an emerging talent, actually had strength higher than the elders, second only to the Family Head and Store Manager.

This was unimaginable within a well-established Sect.

"So what do we do now? If our Shen Family bloodline is so easily parasitized, doesn’t it mean that in this chaos caused by evil entities, our Shen Family will again be powerless?"

At this, Shen Muyu remembered something, his face darkened: "Moreover, I’ve received news that evil entities will soon come to attack; how should we respond?"

The Family Head chuckled, then stood up and walked towards the dozen or so floating long swords.

The gleam reflected on his face, though obstructed by layers of fog, faintly discerned a delicate face.

"All these years, so many sacrifices can’t be in vain. Since these events, my predecessors and I have been researching and exploring, trying to find the reason for the Shen Family bloodline’s vulnerability to parasitism. Although the process was arduous, we eventually found the loophole and supplemented it with the Heart Method, which is why each of you must study the Sword Dao Heart Method from childhood!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Muyu finally sincerely bowed his head, "Family Head, I previously had doubts in my mind, so my words were often offensive; please forgive me!"

The Shen Family Family Head merely smiled faintly and waved his hand, "Alright, I should have told you these things long ago since you are the indisputable candidate for the next Family Head. It’s just that I didn’t want to distract you, which is why I kept it from you until now!"

"Since you say those evil entities are about to invade the Shen Family, hurry and prepare, for this time they cannot go unpunished!"

"Yes!"

Shen Muyu retreated respectfully.

In the blink of an eye, the hall was left with only the Family Head.

He quietly gazed at those floating swords of past Family Heads.

At this moment, a long sigh came from behind.

"Do we really have to do it this way?"

"Hmm!"

With that, this Family Head slowly took off the sword from his waist and placed it on the altar.

"You might try other methods..."

"It’s futile, and every Shen Family Family Head’s ultimate fate should be to die on the battlefield; all past ancestors have done so, so am I an exception? It’s my destiny, which I accept gladly."

Upon saying this, he raised his head to look at the dome of the hall, smiling as he said, "To be honest, haven’t you seen it all with your own eyes?"

"But... no matter how much I see, it’s still hard to let go! Especially since you are the Shen Family Family Head who has spent the most time with me!"

With this, brilliance appeared on the dome above, slowly gathering into a figure.

If Shen Muyu were present, he would certainly exclaim in shock, for that figure turned out to be the Store Manager.

"I am about to leave, but you are still unwilling to reveal your true self?" The Shen Family Family Head smiled.

The sorrowful face of the Store Manager sighed softly, then a flash of light passed, and she transformed into a peerless beauty.

The Shen Family Family Head chuckled lightly, "Looking like this, isn’t it more pleasing to the eye? I really don’t know why you insist so much on the image of an old man!"

"Because to me, regardless of gender or appearance, they’re essentially the same!"

At this, the figure transformed into a handsome young man, but no matter how he changed, the melancholy in his eyes remained.

The Shen Family Family Head nodded, suddenly speaking in a solemn tone, "Thank you for all these years!"

He bowed with clasped hands.

The Store Manager dodged swiftly and shook her head, "Are all you guys the same? Previous Family Heads did the same, they thanked me before going to battle, but none have ever returned!"

"So I don’t want your thanks; all I wish is for you to come back safe!"

The Shen Family Family Head laughed lightly, "Alright, I promise you! But my thank you is heartfelt, for all these years, you’ve been suppressing the Shen Family’s fate."

"As the Sword Tower he left behind, it’s what I should do, no need to thank me."

Indeed!

This Store Manager, the second person of the Shen Family, her true form turned out to be this Sword Tower.

Just as the Shen Family Family Head was about to speak, the two turned simultaneously to look outside the window and spoke in one voice.

"They’re coming!"

As the words fell, distant thumping resounded.

As if the void were a giant drum, a giant was striding upon it.
