The Phoenix King learned that Tang Chen and a mysterious female Limit Douluo had appeared, and concluded that a reincarnator or transmigrator was helping the Tang Family.

After Gu Yuena told Phoenix King to cultivate and spoke suggestively about their future together, Phoenix King grew suspicious that she might be a transmigrator or a reborn person.
