"The Shen Family?"
A few elders were taken aback. They naturally had heard of the Shen Family, an old and established clan in the Capital City, one of the earliest sorcerer families to pledge loyalty to Great Jin. However, their foundation was not very deep. Even though they had allied themselves early on, they held no share in the two most powerful institutions of the Great Jin Dynasty.
As everyone knows, in Great Jin, the nine high officials and the scholars of the six great halls held the most power, occupying virtually all of the top civilian positions. The Siao Family, in order to suppress the Duke of Qin who led the Southern Clans, granted significant authority to these sorcerer families, with a very broad scope of administrative powers for the civilian officials.
