Hearing their father personally admit it, Liu Yun and Liu Feng, the siblings, jerked violently as if struck by lightning, their faces instantly drained of color.

Liu Yun's face was pale, her hands and feet cold as she looked at her father. She did not remain silent, but instead directly asked, "So, Father, as a demon-possessed person, you are still somewhat different from those who have been implanted with a demonic seed, right?"

"What are you trying to say? You might as well say it all. We are father and daughter, father and son, it's also a kind of fate," Liu Chuanshan said with a faint smile, then sat there and gestured with his hand, "You guys sit too."

Liu Feng still wore an incredulous expression, murmuring, "How is this possible? This cannot be true! This must not be real!"

"Liu Feng!" Liu Yun suddenly scolded sharply, just as she had reprimanded her mischievous and naughty brother countless times from their childhood.

Liu Feng seemed to suddenly come back to his senses, looking at his sister.

"Don't embarrass yourself, sit over there," Liu Yun pointed to a chair nearby.

Liu Feng walked over dispiritedly and sat down, then fell into silence.

The young prince of Lingdan Hall, who had grown from a young adult to a young emperor, was beginning to question his life.

Liu Yun, however, was much calmer; her face even showed a faint smile, which, upon seeing, Liu Chuanshan couldn't help but feel slightly surprised.

"I should have realized earlier, Father married Mother not because of love, right?" Liu Yun asked directly.

Even the dispirited Liu Feng couldn't help but glance at his sister, not understanding how things had suddenly taken such a turn. Both their father and sister, why had they both suddenly become so abnormal?

But the habit built from a lifetime of experiences made him sit quietly there, without interrupting.

"How do you know it wasn't because of love?" Liu Chuanshan retorted.

Liu Yun said, "A man who secluded himself in the mountains all year round, who hasn't left his seclusion for hundreds or even a thousand years, suddenly marrying a mortal woman from the secular world, was it because of love?"

"Heh, you're really smart; worthy of being my daughter," Liu Chuanshan praised, but then turned his head and said, "But you guessed wrong, it was indeed because of love."

"I don't believe it!" Liu Yun looked at her father and continued, "It's not that I'm smart, but this matter really doesn't stand up to scrutiny."

"Hmm. You're also right, in fact, not only you, but Feng Chun and those people have also been doubting my motives. But they don't have any evidence, nor do they have any reason to doubt me," Liu Chuanshan spoke indifferently: "This Lingdan Hall was founded by the Liu Family's ancestors. It is our Liu Family's property. I have no reason to destroy my own family's enterprise. And to them, she was just a mortal woman from the secular world, whether she lived or died didn't really matter."

As he spoke, Liu Chuanshan glanced at Liu Yun, "But actually, they were all wrong, your mother, though a mortal with no cultivation level, was not an ordinary person."

"What do you mean?" Liu Yun frowned at her father.

"She was a genuine member of the Demon Clan," Liu Chuanshan said calmly.

"That's impossible!" Liu Yun stood up abruptly, her face full of anger, "Please do not insult my mother!"

"Why so agitated? Sit down, and listen," Liu Chuanshan said sternly, his face hardening.

Liu Yun's body trembled slightly; she looked at her father, silent for a long time, then sat down again.

Liu Chuanshan smiled faintly, "Indeed, this kind of thing, anyone would find hard to accept. How could one's own mother be a member of the Demon Clan? But, I can tell you responsibly, this matter is absolutely true!"

Saying this, Liu Chuanshan directly took out a Shadow Sound Stone and threw it to Liu Yun, "You see for yourself."

Liu Yun took it, activated it with her psychic power; in the cave, an image projected from the Shadow Sound Stone.

In the image, a woman of stunning beauty, smiling charmingly and flirtatiously looking not at Liu Yun, but at the person who recorded with the Shadow Sound Stone, probably her own father.

"Mother..." Tears suddenly flowed from Liu Feng; having seen portraits of his mother, he naturally recognized the woman as his mother.

"Chuanshan, do you think our daughter will look like me?" The woman's voice was very gentle and pleasant to hear.

Tears also flowed uncontrollably from Liu Yun.

Outside the scene, Liu Chuanshan's voice came, "I actually think she might look more like me."

From the sound of the voice, it seemed normal, just like a couple chatting leisurely. In the light conversation, profound emotions were revealed.

Liu Yun couldn't help but glance at her father. She had just said that her father didn't marry her mother out of love, to which her father had retorted. From this scene, it seemed like they really did have feelings for each other. But how could that be?

Liu Chuanshang said softly, "Keep watching."

The scenes that followed were mostly ordinary moments from daily life. Although Liu Chuanshang never appeared on screen, his voice was always accompanying the scene.

Anyone who watched would think that Liu Chuanshang, who recorded his wife's every move with Shadow Sound Stone, loved the woman in the scene.

Even Liu Yun and Liu Feng felt the same.

At this moment, the scene changed, and the woman seemed a bit sad, softly saying, "Chuanshang, do you think the Demon Clan will attack again?"

"I think so," Liu Chuanshang said from off-screen.

"It's really annoying, isn't it better this way? I'd rather give up all my cultivation, I'd rather be a mortal, even threw out that thing, why can't they leave me alone?" the woman spoke with some irritation. "But maybe it's better this way, to die after giving birth, not having to see those annoying scenes."

Liu Yun was stunned.

Liu Feng was also stunned.

The siblings couldn't believe this was true.

From off-screen, Liu Chuanshang sighed, "Why do you have to suffer so? The Demon Clan's return might not just be because of you, they want to take over the entire Heavenly Realm, and even the Immortal Realm, Spirit Realm... They want them all. It's inevitable. Besides, both of us are originally from the Demon Clan. Although we sided with the Human Clan countless years ago, our bodies still carry the blood of the Demon Clan."

Liu Yun and Liu Feng looked at their father in complete shock, their eyes filled with intense confusion.

Liu Chuanshang remained silent, merely watching the scenes projected from the Shadow Sound Stone, his gaze rarely showing a touch of tenderness.

"The thing is," continued the woman softly, "but I prefer being human. I don't want to become a demon." She sighed softly. "It's just unfortunate that our children have to suffer, growing up without a mother, it's pitiful. I don't know how long I will be dead this time. Oh, it would be best never to wake up again."

From off-screen, Liu Chuanshang said, "What are you talking about? What do you mean never waking up again? Don't you want to see me, to see your children again?"

"Of course, I do. How could I not? I also want to be a good mother, raising them. I wish they could call me 'Mom'," the woman pursed her lips, her beautiful face showing a trace of sadness, "but I can't. If I live just a bit longer, those people will sense my existence, I have to die, but I cannot truly die. As long as I live, the Demon Clan will never give up on entering this world. It's truly troubling."

"It's alright, don't talk about that anymore, there will always be a solution. Maybe this time, someone will stand up again and drive the demons back," Liu Chuanshang comforted the woman off-screen.

"With the Chu Clan so powerful and yet vanished like a passing cloud, who can stand up now? Chuanshang, think about it, if the Demon Clan attacks again, whose side will you be on?" the woman said.

"Of course, I'll be on the neutral side," came Liu Chuanshang's voice coldly from off-screen, "My body carries the blood of the Demon Clan, I cannot truly join the humans to annihilate the Demon Clan. And you, once the most noble princess of the Demon Clan, now relentlessly hunted by them, I hate them just as much. If I had the power to kill those demons, I would not hesitate. But I don't. Thus, I can only remain neutral. Moreover, no one in this world knows the relationship between us. Remaining neutral is the best choice. This way, I can also protect you well."

"Chuanshang, it's been hard on you too. You shouldn't keep this Shadow Sound Stone," the woman sighed.

" One day, I will show this to our children. And then, destroy it," Liu Chuanshang said from off-screen.

"Don't," said the woman softly. "They've grown up in the environment of the Human Clan, they won't have a good impression of the Demon Clan. They definitely can't accept the fact that they are from the Demon Clan. So, Chuanshang, don't tell them. Even if cultivators have long life expectancies, they eventually come to an end. Under your protection, the Demon Clan probably won't attack Lingdan Hall. Besides, they also need elixirs. So, let them live happily until the end of their life expectancy."

"Are you saying that our children should die without knowing their true identity? Don't you think that's the biggest unfairness to them?" Liu Chuanshang's voice, filled with sadness, came from off-screen, "Have you forgotten our previous child?"

Liu Yun and Liu Feng were completely astonished by now, having almost lost their ability to think. Hearing these words, they tremulously turned toward Liu Chuanshang sitting there.

"Do we have another brother?"

At that moment, the woman in the scene shook her head, "He chose suicide precisely because he could not accept his identity."

"So, this time, I will tell them their true identity earlier," Liu Chuanshang's determined voice came from off-screen. The scene stopped there, leaving unknown what happened next. Perhaps, the two had an argument over this issue. Liu Chuanshang was not in the mood to keep recording.

Liu Chuanshang waved his hand, and the Shadow Sound Stone returned to his grasp, immediately disintegrating into dust with a slight force.

He looked calmly at his children, "Now, do you believe it?"

Liu Yun lifted her head, her face turning terrifyingly pale, looking at Liu Chuanshang, "So, we... are all from the Demon Clan?"
