You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?-Chapter 597 - 110、Crown Prince Pursuit and Assassination

"Oh? What do you plan to do this time?"

Lin Yue watched Duanmu Yan expressionlessly across from him, "Now that you know I am not the reincarnation of Xiahou Shou, do you Demon Clan still intend to persuade me to join you?"

"Persuade, of course," Duanmu Yan said with a smile, "But... after Your Highness listens to what I have to say, if you still wish to return to Di Hong City and be a prince, Duanmu will not stop you. You can take back the World Tree at any time and allow Your Highness to leave as you please."

Lin Yue narrowed his eyes slightly.

In this small world isolated by the World Tree, knowing that the Second Princess could disregard the World Tree to project her true body, they still did this.

This strange fog that filled the air, which could hinder Divine Thought, was clearly targeted at the Second Princess.

Moreover...

From the moment he was teleported here, he had felt that something was not quite right.

Lin Yue took a deep breath and spoke, "If you have such confidence, then let’s hear it."

"Would Your Highness accompany me into a dream to witness for yourself?"

Duanmu Yan continued, "This is a scene personally witnessed by the Dream Demon Ancestor, the founder of my Demon Clan, and it concerns Your Highness’s origin and identity."

Lin Yue replied calmly, "Fine."

The other party was so confident; clearly, they were extremely sure of themselves, and even the mere presence of a god like Yan Yue was something he couldn’t handle.

"Dream shadows take form, time is traversable."

Duanmu Yan uttered softly, pointing his finger at Lin Yue, and immediately an invisible fluctuation spread.

Lin Yue could feel it was only a frail force of the Dream Realm, that one need only immerse a hint of consciousness to enter, and even once inside, he could wake up from the dream at any moment.

In a daze, he saw a huge mountain peak among the darkness.

At the summit, there was a man and a woman; the woman was young and beautiful, sitting opposite the man with her eyes tightly closed, her brows furrowed as if in great pain.

The man had one hand on the woman’s forehead, also meditating with his eyes closed.

A faint light seeped into the woman’s body, each time causing her to tremble violently.

After a moment,

The man opened his eyes, looked down at the woman’s abdomen, and spoke in a deep voice, "Our child is now being conceived, we just need to keep it from the Crown Prince."

The woman gently stroked her abdomen, a trace of sorrow in her eyes.

She asked softly, "This child... whose surname will he take?"

"You decide," the man replied calmly.

After a long silence, the woman said, "The surname Xiahong is too conspicuous; let him take the surname Lin."

...

The dream ended there.

Lin Yue slowly opened his eyes, a trace of shock in his pupils, murmuring, "This memory... where did you get it from?"

Although he couldn’t be sure if the memory was real or not, this power of recreating illusions, much like the ones created by the Black Jade Coffin and Tianxia Building, had to be based on existing truths.

Therefore, these man and woman must truly exist.

The man’s Cultivation aura was Perfectly complete, yet without that sense of transcending heaven and earth, clearly a Saint-level figure among the Human Clan, just a calamity away from Proving and Transcending!

Such a Realm was not inferior to the Dream Demon Ancestor; it was just lacking a calamity; even the Dream Demon Ancestor couldn’t fabricate such an existence out of thin air.

The aura of the woman was even more bizarre.

Her own Realm was quite ordinary, merely a Great Cultivator, but she faintly exuded a sense surpassing that of the heavens and earth; could it be... Ancient Divine Power?

This was just too preposterous.

A Great Cultivator merged with Ancient Divine Power?

"It seems Your Highness has realized who the man and woman in this memory are?"

Duanmu Yan’s lips curled into a smile as he explained, "This is the memory of the Dream Demon Ancestor. Her Dream Realm Path, aided by the Ancient Divine Power and using the Return to Dream Divine Skill, has the ability to go back in time. Once she knew you were a false prince and a person whose fate couldn’t be deduced by divination, she painstakingly went back time and time again, finally finding this piece of the past."

He said, "If I am not mistaken, the woman in this past memory is Your Highness’s mother, Lin Jianlu. As for the man... we are not quite sure, we have not had the chance to investigate, but from their conversation, he should be a descendant of the Xiahong Clan."

Lin Yue remained silent. ƒгeewёbnovel.com

Naturally, he recognized the woman as his biological mother, Lin Jianlu, since she had passed away when he was eleven years old.

With his current level of Cultivation, even the memories from his childhood were clear in his mind.

As for the man...

"When is this memory from?" Lin Yue asked somberly.

"The Dream Demon Ancestor said it was more than thirty years ago," Duanmu Yan answered, "Probably around the forty-sixth or forty-seventh year of the Emperor’s Inspection during the Great Yong era."

Lin Yue inhaled deeply.

Which meant this was the year before he was born.

If this memory were true, then... this man should be his biological father—Xiahong Feng.

Xiahong Feng, a bloodline descendant of the Twelfth Prince; although it was unknown how many generations had passed, and the bloodline had thinned, he possessed an extremely terrifying talent in Martial Arts.

According to what his mother’s good friend, Si Yangqi, had said, his mother accompanied the Dawn Army into Eternal Night during the forty-sixth year of the Emperor’s Inspection and for some reason was ambushed by the Demon Clan.

Si Yangqi forcibly went through Harmonization, desperately escaping with his mother, only to be pursued by a Demon Saint of the Peng Clan.

Knowing Si Yangqi, he was also a vastly renowned prodigy at that time, holding the nascent form of the Heavenly Reversal Path. Even a transient Harmonization gave him strength close to a Heavenly Reversing Saint.

To be pursued with such strength indicated that the Peng Clan Demon Saint must also be a Heavenly Demon Saint.

But his mother asked Si Yangqi to flee deeper into Eternal Night, to find Xiahong Feng who was suspected to have died there, claiming it as the only path to survival.
