Ayao didn't fight back, she just dodged and kept avoiding attacks.
The dragons watched this scene with growing anxiety. "Third Prince, this guy is the second most powerful pheasant in the pheasant clan! How could you, who is only at the Earth Immortal realm, possibly be her match?"
Rumble—
Above the endless sea, a silver-white dragon chased after a girl dressed in a white gauze dress, baring its fangs and claws. With each claw strike, lightning crackled, and with a sweep of its tail, it stirred up a monstrous tsunami. With a roar, countless fine cracks appeared in space.
No matter how he attacked, he couldn't hurt the girl.
Wushuang was furious.
He shouted, "What are you all standing there for? Beat her to death!"
Upon hearing the order, the dragon warriors surrounded Ayao, ready to attack. Just then, Tianyin's voice rang out:
"stop!"
A figure in azure appeared in the sky; it was Tianyin, dressed in azure robes. Tianyin's long, black hair danced in the wind, and his golden eyes, seemingly filled with the light of spring water, looked towards Ayao and Wushuang. As soon as Wushuang saw his brother, his dragon form suddenly shrank, and he transformed into human form.
More than 10,000 years have passed, and Wushuang is no longer a child. He now looks a year or two younger than Feng Chu and is a handsome young man.
He wore a moon-white robe, his long silver hair was tied into a long ponytail, pointed ears peeked out from his hair, and beautiful dragon horns grew on his forehead. He flew towards Tianyin, stood beside her, and said:
"Brother, this stinky pheasant is up to no good, let's chase her out!"
"Don't be rude!" Tianyin patted Wushuang.
"elder brother!"
Tianyin put on a stern face, and Wushuang lowered her head angrily. While sulking, she transformed into a dragon and dived into the sea.
Tianyin glanced at Wushuang, then turned to look at Ayao.

There are many islands in the endless sea, and many magnificent palaces have been built on these islands. These palaces all belong to the dragon race.
Inside the palace, many coral trees were displayed. Beside them stood jade tables, where a handsome man in blue robes was enjoying tea with a young woman in purple. Ayao, holding her teacup, looked at Tianyin and said, "You must know what happened in the Demon Realm, right?"
Tianyin nodded.
"Demon Lord Xuantian has taken control of the entire Demon Realm," Tianyin said.
“That day in Qingyaozhou, you fought him. I saw you both, but I don’t know the outcome of your fight,” Ayao said.
A wry smile appeared on Tianyin's gentle face: "It's really embarrassing to say, he almost ate my true form."
"What?!" Ayao's eyes widened in disbelief.
“I lost an avatar at the Immortal Emperor level,” Tianyin said.
"Are you... are you alright?" A Yao couldn't help but scan Tian Yin's body with her divine sense. It was very impolite to scan someone's body with divine sense, but she was so concerned that she didn't care about such things.
Tianyin chuckled softly: "Is this you showing concern for me?"
He suddenly grabbed A Yao's hand. A Yao blushed slightly and immediately pulled her hand back.
"How could we be alright after losing an avatar at the Immortal Emperor level?" Tianyin said.
Ayao looked at his handsome face: "An avatar at the Immortal Emperor level? Even at the Immortal Emperor level, it's just an avatar. You're truly hiding your true abilities. Is it really as some people speculate, that no one has ever seen your true form?"
She looked directly into Tianyin's eyes and asked, "Luo Bai, who exactly are you?"
"Which Immortal Emperor doesn't have his own trump cards? I'm just good at creating clones," Tianyin said with a smile.
"Judging from your appearance, you don't seem to have been seriously injured by losing a avatar of a Celestial Emperor, otherwise you wouldn't be laughing! I've always felt that you're hiding a lot of things. Did you already know about the existence of Demon Lord Xuan Tian, or Lou Mu Nan?"
"Otherwise, why would he have approached you in Qingyaozhou?" Ayao stared at Tianyin's face, trying to find the answer in his expression. Tianyin just chuckled, and Ayao couldn't see through the emotions hidden in his smile.
"I don't know why he's targeting me," Tianyin sighed.
Ayao frowned: "You mean you don't know him?"
"I don't know. Before that day, I had never heard of this person, but judging from your tone, you seem to know him very well?" Tianyin threw the question back to Ayao.
"I don't believe you. You're definitely hiding something. That guy Lou Munan kidnapped my clone. I don't know what he's going to do, but it's definitely not something good. Luo Bai, I've lost contact with my clone. It's not just that I can't contact her, I feel like my clone has completely detached from me and become an independent entity. I'm very worried about her. What will happen to her in Lou Munan's hands?"
Ayao felt distressed at the thought of her clone being tormented by Lou Munan.
Even when the clones and the original body were not disconnected, and their memories were not synchronized, Ayao never worried about her clones, because at that time each clone was herself, and she believed in herself.
But when one of her clones completely lost contact with her and became an independent entity, things changed completely. That clone became like her own child in her heart; she couldn't sense its emotions, and she couldn't help but worry about it.
"It's just a clone," Tianyin said calmly.
"Are you saying this because you've forgotten that you yourself are also a clone?" Ayao looked at him.
“Of course I haven’t forgotten that I am an avatar, an avatar of the Dragon Emperor Luo Bai. It is only natural to sacrifice for the main body if necessary. So your avatar is the same; if necessary, she should also sacrifice for you,” Tianyin said.
“You say that because you don’t have independent consciousness; you’re essentially Luo Bai. But my clone was forcibly turned into an independent individual; she has her own consciousness. How could I possibly sacrifice her so easily? I would never do something so cruel to myself,” A Yao said.
Tianyin's golden eyes stared directly at Ayao, his gentle gaze suddenly turning sharp. He said, "How do you know I'm not an independent consciousness?"
A Yao's azure eyes widened slightly. She looked at Tian Yin's gentle and handsome face, speechless with surprise. He... he was also an independent clone? Just like Wu Shuang?
After staring in disbelief for a while, Ayao said:
"You are an independent consciousness, but what about everyone else?"
Are Si Chen and Yu Ji also independent consciousnesses?
Tianyin didn't answer Ayao's question, but picked up her teacup and took a small sip. Ayao looked at him and said, "If you are an independent consciousness, are you truly willing to sacrifice yourself for your main body at any time?"
"That's natural, that's the meaning of my existence, isn't it?" Tianyin said with a smile.
Ayao shook her head: "I'm not like Luo Bai, unlike your original self. I won't give up on myself so easily. Anyway, I want to find my clone. Can you help me?"
