When the Lord of the Black Nest nodded, A Yao trembled all over.
She...she is Yan Tang's reincarnation? How could she be Yan Tang's reincarnation? A Yao couldn't believe it.
Her mind was a jumbled mess, a complete chaos. Images of Yan Tang and Lou Munan together flashed through her mind, as did their dual cultivation, and then there was Jingxin Wuchen. Then she thought of Xu Fengzhi, and the blood tears he shed when he saw Yan Tang's statue in the Burial Dragon Mountain Secret Realm.
"Does Xu Fengzhi know?" A Yao asked the Lord of the Black Nest.
If the Lord of the Black Nest couldn't suppress his love for her because of Xu Fengzhi, then why did Xu Fengzhi love her? Was it because she was the reincarnation of Yan Tang?
"He doesn't have the kind of feelings you think he has for Yan Tang. Lou Munan gave up his love for Yan Tang long ago. After Xiao Yue was gone, all he had left was hatred. His main soul only split off after he was resurrected and then sealed away. At that time, Lou Munan didn't have any love in his heart, and he never will."
Upon hearing this, Ayao said, "When Xu Feng split you, I wasn't even born yet. Why were you affected?"
"The main soul reincarnated multiple times to sever its connection with Lou Munan. Although their connection wasn't broken, it wasn't as close as the one between me and the main soul. The main soul neither loves nor hates Yan Tang, and has no obsession with Xiao Yue," said the Lord of the Black Nest.
"Does he know that I am the reincarnation of Yan Tang?" A Yao asked.
The Lord of the Black Nest shook his head: "I don't know."
Ayao lowered her head, recalling her first meeting with Xu Fengzhi. At that time, he didn't even know who he was, so how could he recognize that she was the reincarnation of Yan Tang?
Then she thought of Luo Bai, and of Jing Xin Wu Chen.
She asked the Lord of the Black Nest, "Where is Jingxin Wuchen? Where is he now? The Celestial Race is gone, where is he?"
“You have seen him,” said the Lord of Black Nest.
"Luo Bai?" A Yao asked.
The Lord of Black Nest nodded.
Ayao tightened her grip on her knees. Sure enough, just as expected.
"No, he's clearly a dragon. He... he voluntarily reincarnated and started cultivating again?" Ayao asked.
“You must ask him that question yourself. I do not know,” said the Lord of the Black Nest.
Ayao couldn't understand why Jingxin Wuchen would go from being the Emperor of the Celestials to the Lord of the Dragon Clan. Even if he was reincarnated for some reason, how could he watch the Celestials perish?
Also, did he know that she was the reincarnation of Yan Tang?
"Does Luo Bai know that I am the reincarnation of Yan Tang?" A Yao asked.
"I don't know, but I can tell that he is Yan Tang's husband. There's no way I wouldn't be able to tell," said the Lord of the Black Nest.
Ayao bit her lip, recalling her interactions with Luo Bai. No wonder he always indulged her; so that was the reason. She had thought he truly loved her, but it turned out she had been deluding herself. Because she was the reincarnation of Yan Tang, he was treating her as Yan Tang.
Did she actually become a body double?
Ayao looked at the Lord of the Black Nest: "Have you been in contact with Luo Bai before?"
The Lord of the Black Nest nodded: "He has always wanted me to help him devour Lou Munan."
"Devour Lou Munan? Has he gone mad?" A Yao said. Lou Munan is a demon, and not just any demon, but the Demon Lord Xuan Tian, the most terrifying demon lord in history. If he were to devour Lou Munan, wouldn't he be afraid of falling into demonhood himself?
Wait, why use the word "devour"?
While it's true that many evil cultivation techniques devour the cultivation of others, these techniques generally only devour beings weaker than themselves. This is because if the opponent is of equal strength, it's easy for the technique to reverse the situation and be devoured.
But her intuition told her that the Devouring mentioned by the Lord of the Black Nest was not ordinary Devouring cultivation.
"I don't know very well. I only know that Lou Munan and Jingxin Wuchen were originally one." The Lord of the Black Nest revealed another shocking secret to A Yao.
"What did you say? They were originally one? That's impossible. One of them is human, and the other is a Celestial. How could they be one?" A Yao said. But thinking about it carefully, Lou Munan was born with seventy-two origins, and his origins were not ordinary origins. Is this a normal human?
The Lord of the Black Nest said, "I don't know the specifics. Perhaps you could ask Luo Bai what's going on between him and Lou Munan?"
Ayao sat there stunned; she was utterly shocked.
Her brain is completely muddled right now.
Many threads became tangled together, forming a complete mess.
She needs time; she needs time to untangle these threads.

The Demon Realm.
In the luxurious palace, sheer curtains hung down, and from behind them came suggestive sounds.
The sound lasted for a long time before finally stopping, and a figure got off the bed. It was a burly man with long, black hair that reached his waist. He was naked, with a perfect body surrounded by black mist, and he was wearing a magnificent black robe.
On the bed behind him lay a stunningly beautiful young woman. Her long hair was spread out on the pillow, and she was covered with a brocade quilt. Her body beneath the quilt was completely naked, and the ambiguous marks on her snow-white skin were slowly fading. She closed her eyes and fell asleep, seemingly very tired.
The man glanced at the girl on the bed, then passed through the heavy gauze curtains and walked to the outer railing. Standing before the railing, he gazed out at the brightly lit palace. He looked down upon the mountains and rivers of the demon realm, then up at the starry sky above. His blood-red eyes seemed to see into the depths of the universe, as if nothing could obstruct his gaze.
He had somehow acquired a longevity lock in his hand, adorned with auspicious cloud patterns, a qilin, and a moon totem. He looked down at the lock, a hint of warmth appearing in his red eyes, but then, as if lost in thought, his eyes turned even more bloodshot and his gaze grew colder.
He muttered to himself, "Xiaoyue, if your uncle can't bring you back to life, then your uncle will make everything in all the heavens and myriad worlds pay the price with you."
The wind whipped the man's robes into a flutter, and the murderous aura emanating from him made the entire starry sky tremble.

Inside the secret realm of the Great Sun Golden Crow clan, a black-haired, golden-eyed youth wielding a sword is fighting a woman in golden robes.
Each swing of the golden-robed woman's sword did not produce particularly terrifying destructive power, but the boy certainly felt that she was more frightening than any opponent he had ever encountered.
Each seemingly ordinary sword strike from the woman in the golden robe would kill him instantly if he couldn't parry it. Her sword energy and intent were concentrated on a single point, seemingly without much destructive power, because she minimized the range of her attacks to reduce the consumption of her magical energy—something he couldn't do.
He had seen Xie Chen do something similar before.
But this woman in golden robes is perhaps even more terrifying than Xie Chen.
Feng Chu didn't know why she had such thoughts.
Bang!
The woman in the golden robe slashed at Feng Chu's sword. Although the sword blocked the attack, the force of the blow still sent Feng Chu flying.
