You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Everyone present was a bit stunned, and couldn't help but look towards Yan Fang.

Yan Fang himself also looked a bit confused.

"Him?"

Lin Yue sized up Yan Fang and said indifferently, "Go ahead and speak."

"Yan Fang is a bloodline descendant of the Human Ancestor," the red-robed bald woman said coldly. "It was only to protect him that he was not given the surname Wu Yan, and he wasn't even informed of his identity. According to the rules of the Ancestor Hall, a bloodline descendant of the Human Ancestor, even if they commit a grievous error, should not be arbitrarily punished or imprisoned, right?"

"A bloodline descendant of the Human Ancestor?"

Lin Yue let out a sneer and said, "The Human Ancestor rose to prominence tens of thousands of years ago, and there are countless people in this world who can be considered descendants of the Human Ancestor's bloodline. Even the entire Human Clan could be said to be the Human Ancestor's offspring."

The red-robed bald woman glanced at him and said, "But what if he is the Human Ancestor's own son?"

The entire place was in an uproar.

Everyone looked at Yan Fang in shock, hardly able to believe it.

The Human Ancestor's own son?

The Human Ancestor was a legend from tens of thousands of years ago. How could there be such a young child after such a long expanse of time?

Yan Fang was even more dumbfounded.

"Ah?"

Lin Yue almost couldn't help but laugh out loud and shook his head. "To my knowledge, cultivators can only have bloodline descendants with those of the same level. The Human Ancestor is a supreme being who proved the Dao. Is there really another female supreme Dao proving being who mated with the Human Ancestor?"

Most importantly, Yan Fang was even a year younger than him.

And thirty years ago, before he was even born, his mother had already found the Eternal Darkness Reincarnation Coffin to carry the Human Ancestor's Divine Soul.

The timing just didn't add up.

So even if it was true, could it be another trick prepared by the Demon Clan?

"Sister, I..." Yan Fang couldn't help but speak up.

"Junior Brother Yan Fang, it was to protect you that we didn't tell you all this time."

The red-robed bald woman looked at him and softly said, "It was also the Human Ancestor's wish. I hope you won't blame your sister."

Then she said, "Junior Brother Yan Fang, crush the jade pendant you're carrying. It's the one that Master gave you, telling you to carry it at all times."

Yan Fang was slightly taken aback, took out a purple jade pendant from his chest, retracted his power, and slowly applied force. The jade pendant shattered accordingly.

In the next moment, an entirely different aura radiated from his body.

Everyone who felt this aura changed their expressions.

"Hmm? Demon aura?"

"He... is a half-demon?"

"Spirit Venerable's breath didn't even detect that he's a half-demon?"

"It must be a concealment technique of a Demon God, otherwise, it wouldn't have evaded Spirit Venerable's detection."

"A half-demon? Could it be that his mother is..."

For a moment, everyone looked at Yan Fang in astonishment, with their suspicions already forming in their minds.

"That's right."

The red-robed bald woman spoke up, "Junior Brother Yan Fang's father is the Human Ancestor, while his mother is a Demon Clan Ancestor, who was… the wife of the Human Ancestor, Lady Xū."

"Lady Xū?"

"So it's Lady Xū..."

"This..."

Everyone was shocked and speechless, feeling that it indeed could only be so.

Lady Xū was the most powerful among the many wives of the Human Ancestor during the Ancient Times and was said to possess Martial Arts Talent nearly rivaling that of the Human Ancestor herself, even pioneering the Alchemy Skill Path.

During the era of the Demon Clan's rise, Lady Xū also practiced the Beast Transformation Cultivation Method, and later, when the Heavenly Demon Ancestor attacked, Lady Xū completely transformed into a demon and became one of the twelve Demon Clan Ancestors, the Xū Demon Ancestor.

It was rumored that Lady Xū didn't willingly become part of the Demon Clan, and even after becoming a Demon Clan Ancestor, she had no intention of destroying the Human Clan. After becoming an Ancestor, she had helped the Human Ancestor during the great catastrophe.

If she had another child with the Human Ancestor, it would make sense.

"The exact reason I am not clear about."

The red-robed bald woman swept her gaze over the surrounding crowd and said, "But Yan Fang is indeed the offspring of Lady Xū and the Human Ancestor. The Ancestor Hall should have a means to test this, right?"

"Then let's take a look," said Lin Yue calmly.

"Your Highness," the Main Hall Master said, "we only need to bring forth one of the inherited divine artifacts left by the Human Ancestor to determine whether this Yan Fang is indeed a blood relative of the Human Ancestor."

Lin Yue nodded slightly, and before he could do anything, he saw a streak of light flying from the depths of the Ancestor Hall.

The light streaked across the sky and then, with a ringing sound, plunged into the ground. The Array Barrier of the Ancestor Hall didn't seem to hinder it, and everyone then realized it was a heavy sword made from ironwood, plain and unadorned, weighty as a mountain, exuding an ancient and time-worn aura.

"Sky Breaking!"

"It's the Divine Sword Breaking the Sky!"

"The sword of the Human Ancestor!"

It was said that the Human Ancestor's personal weapon was an ironwood heavy sword named Sky Breaking, and it was turned into a real divine sword only after being refined by his elder brother, the Ancestor God of Artifact Refining, 'Ou Ye'.

Lin Yue sensed it briefly and understood that the might and aura of Sky Breaking were no less than the Semi-Divine Artifact 'Flying Spirit Chasing Sun' he obtained from the Temple of Thousand Gods.

It was probably also a Semi-Divine Artifact that lacked only the Ancient Divine Power to transform into a true Divine Artifact.

However, Sky Breaking was also an Inheritance Divine Artifact, which only a blood relative of the Human Ancestor could use. The closer the bloodline, the more powerful the force it could exert.

"Disciple, use Sky Breaking to test his bloodline. If he is truly the flesh and blood of the Human Ancestor, the Divine Sword will protect him on its own."

The Divine Thought Transmission of the Main Hall Master echoed in Lin Yue's mind.

"Yes," Lin Yue then understood that it was the Main Hall Master who had propelled the Divine Sword Breaking the Sky to fly out.

"Since you claim to be the Human Ancestor's own son, let's give it a try."

Lin Yue looked towards Yan Fang and said, "Just drop your blood on the Divine Sword Breaking the Sky, and the sword will naturally react and protect you of its own accord."

Yan Fang looked somewhat nervously at the red-robed bald woman.
