************************

Unless transformed into their true form, no one can detect the difference between a Great Demon and humans while they walk outside; they’re no different from humans.

Li Longyun always claims to be a Venerable of the Human Clan when traveling outside.

Sometimes, when encountering the Demon Clan, he doesn’t hesitate to act as an assassin.

His life is excessively luxurious, and the old Clan Leader can’t stand it anymore.

However, he has been holding back, wanting to discover a flaw, wanting to know, who exactly is this person?

But that seems impossible now.

This Li Longyun, back when he was still a Scholar, his family relatives would avoid him, and his biological parents were no longer around.

Moreover, Li Longyun himself was also very cautious, at least while the old Clan Leader was still around, he would never reveal his identity.

Even if the old Clan Leader were to pass away, he wouldn’t reveal his identity, as his strength isn’t enough to act recklessly. He is Li Longyun; there’s no need to do anything risky.

He understands the principle of not flaunting his wealth. Now that he has gained such great benefits, he naturally wants to enjoy them; how could he let others find out?

Having occupied someone else’s body is also his opportunity; how could he let others know that? Knowing this would only get him captured.

A year later, Li Longyun returned to the clan. This time he went out, spent quality time with his lover, and had fun outside for a while, feeling extraordinarily good. With the old man gone, it’s truly liberating.

Returning to the clan, he planned to grab some things and then continue traveling outside since the old man is in closed-door cultivation.

The home is devoid of entertainment, and having children around is a bother; it really kills the mood.

When Li Longyun eagerly went to extract items from the treasury, he was told that resource supplies were tight, and the clan couldn’t even meet the needs for cultivation; many elders had already gone out desperately searching.

Li Longyun’s expression immediately turned grim, and he left with a cold face.

Back at his residence, he looked at the items in the room, which all seemed to be of good quality; perhaps he should take them first and use them?

The old Clan Leader, hiding in the shadows, saw Li Longyun being so wretched, and the anger in his heart surged even higher.

How could such a person compare to his son? Yet all these years, he hadn’t discovered anything. If it weren’t for Shuning, he probably still wouldn’t know.

Li Longyun, brimming with excitement, was just about to leave with the things from the room when suddenly everything went black, and he lost all consciousness.

The old Clan Leader, with a dark face, captured Li Longyun and placed him in a secret chamber.

When Li Longyun woke up, he found himself shackled to the wall, unable to move, surrounded by darkness. He tried to use his demonic power but found it couldn’t flow.

What was happening?

He was clearly in his clan’s territory, so how could anyone capture him?

He was in the early stage of the Great Demon King. Who had the means to secretly capture him without a trace?

Before long, he realized, the old Clan Leader was right before him.

Li Longyun was a bit dumbfounded, then heightened his vigilance; could the old man have discovered something?

Li Longyun pretended to be surprised and said, “Father, what are you doing? Has your son done something wrong? If I’ve made a mistake, please feel free to reprimand me.”

The old Clan Leader sneered, “You are not my son. Tell me, who are you?”

Li Longyun’s heart skipped a beat, knowing the old man must have discovered something.

However, he couldn’t possibly admit it.

“Father, I am your son, aren’t I? Why say such things? You don’t recognize me anymore? Father, did I do something wrong?”

“My son would never be like you. In the past, Yun’er genuinely liked Tianlu, but you? You have not only hit Tianlu multiple times but also the child, even wanted to throw Shuning into Crescent Lake. Who exactly are you, wanting to harm them?”

“Even a tiger wouldn’t eat its cubs; you, you don’t even spare your children. How dare you claim to be my son?”

Li Longyun was also getting anxious now; if today’s matter wasn’t handled well, he might not survive.

“Father, I am your son, don’t you remember? When Mother left, you said you would take good care of me, that as long as you were around, you wouldn’t let anyone hurt me.”

“But Father, that year when I went on training, I was severely injured by someone. Only I and a few people in the clan knew my whereabouts. Those people were clearly lying in wait, so it was obvious someone betrayed me; I almost died. It was tough for me to return to the clan, and then, how did you deal with that traitor? You just expelled him from the White Wolf Clan, and that was it.”

“Do you know, I was so disappointed and upset at that time, I almost died, and you didn’t care about my life?”

Li Longyun even shed tears at the corners of his eyes.

“Father, you are my father, the one who promised Mother you would protect me. Do you know how helpless I felt? But the father I loved and respected the most didn’t seek justice for me, but rather let the one who hurt me go. Father, at that time, I hated you.”

“I investigated some matters and found out the assassin was related to the Red Wolf Clan. That’s why I treated Yang Tianlu that way; seeing her reminds me of how I almost died.”

“Father, what should I do? Why are you treating me like this today? Kill me then, because over the years, I’ve seen through everything.”

Li Longyun’s eyes showed a hint of despair and sadness.

The old Clan Leader was stunned; could Li Longyun’s words be trusted?

Li Longyun’s explanation seemed reasonable and logical.

Back then, it was indeed uncovered that the assassin was related to the Red Wolf Clan, but it wasn’t the Red Wolf Clan itself.

This kind of misplaced anger, including even his own children, what sense does this make?

Moreover, what is the reason for befriending the Human Clan?

The old Clan Leader felt a headache; without clarifying the matter, he couldn’t let Li Longyun out.

A Clan Leader in the early stage of the Great Demon King; if someone is indeed impersonating him, the consequences would be severe.

“Yun’er, it’s not that your father doesn’t believe you, but your actions make me feel that you’re not the same as that responsible son who handled matters so excellently. Yun’er wasn’t lustful yet you, you not only have women outside but also visit places of indulgence. Can you tell me why you do this?”

“Father, I’m deeply disappointed in Tianlu, but I also have needs, so I have to go find women outside.”

“Does this mean I am wrong? What does Father intend to do with me? I don’t even understand why you’re treating me like this.”
