When Shen Yongnian was in power, the three Great Elders had control over the Innate Sect, leaving Shen Yongnian, the Sect Master, with hardly any authority. In such circumstances, the leadership of the Innate Sect was no longer in the hands of a single person.
Shen Yongnian's statement clearly shows that he is somewhat dissatisfied with the three Great Elders controlling the Innate Sect.
Furthermore, Shen Yongnian also mentioned that the Secret Technique of the Innate Sect must not be taken by outsiders.
This statement appears to be pointless, but upon closer consideration, it carries additional meaning.
The fact that the Secret Technique of the Innate Sect must not be shared outside is something that everyone in the Innate Sect knows. Normally, Shen Yongnian wouldn't need to emphasize this, as it would be redundant.
Yet, Shen Yongnian emphasized this matter in front of Su Yang, implicitly conveying a message.
