Background / History

Li Xiao entered the Intercepting Sect as Tongtian Cult Master’s fifth direct disciple. Though he presents himself as lazy and unmotivated, his inner thoughts reveal that he considers himself invincible and intends to save Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, and ultimately the entire Intercepting Sect from their destined fates. He also resolves to oppose Hongjun. Yunxiao alone can overhear these thoughts, making her the first person to recognize that his apparent idleness conceals exceptional knowledge and power 1 4 6.

His early actions repeatedly alter Intercepting Sect affairs. Yunxiao acts on his knowledge of Dingguang Immortal’s future betrayal, while Li Xiao acquires powerful treasures and cultivation through his system, manipulates rivals, and exposes threats within the sect 5 15 34. After killing disciples who massacred humans, he is vindicated by Tongtian Cult Master, awarded the Yin-Yang Two Forms Lamp, and appointed Sword-Wielding Elder 56.

Li Xiao later assists Empress Pingxin in establishing the Six Paths of Reincarnation. In recognition of this contribution, she affirms his position as Great Emperor Fengdu, while his protection of her physical body allows her freedom beyond the Underworld’s usual restrictions 107.

Appearance

Li Xiao is described as handsome and is seen wearing blue robes. When activating the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, a cold, vertical purple eye opens in the center of his forehead 234 633 168.

• Often maintains a casual, reclining posture even during major events.
• His aura can erupt suddenly during breakthroughs, shattering surrounding clouds 15.

Personality

Li Xiao deliberately cultivates the image of a carefree idler, often sleeping, sunbathing, or acting frivolously while concealing his calculations. He can be shamelessly provocative toward enemies and sect rivals, especially members of the Heavenly Origin Sect, yet remains composed when challenged or publicly insulted 1 146 421.

Behind this façade, he is strategic, vindictive, and highly protective of those he considers his own. He repeatedly schemes against factions threatening the Intercepting Sect, protects Yunxiao from the Demon Race’s Soul Seizing Great Method, and mobilizes allies to defend humanity during the Demon Race’s slaughter 190 207 216. His methods frequently involve deception, memory alteration, theft, or exploiting opponents’ ambitions 150 237 346.
