"How is it? Is my modification okay?" After watching Li Xiu testing the Ghost Face Demon Costume, Ximen Guan asked proudly.

"If God hadn't given birth to you, my career in magic armor would have been in vain." Li Xiu gave Ximen Guan a thumbs up.

I have to say that Ximen Guan's skills are really amazing. He can achieve this level with technology from decades ago. He is definitely a talent.

The performance of the modified Ghost Face Demon Suit is no less than that of Li Xiu's previous Red Flower Lang Demon Suit, and in some aspects it even surpasses it.

You have to know that this is the most advanced product of the world's top magic equipment laboratory. Both the materials and equipment are many times better than what Laoguaner has here.

The fact that he was able to use these materials and equipment to transform the old-fashioned Ghost Mask Demon Costume to this level only shows that he has surpassed the times in terms of technology, and is not at the same level as the other demon costume makers in the laboratories.

"Could it be that the development of the magic equipment industry over the past few decades has been going in reverse?" Li Xiu couldn't understand why the current top magic equipment technology was not as good as the technology of decades ago.

In fact, what Li Xiu thought was right and wrong. This is a question of research direction.

Ximen Guan’s research direction is completely different from the current mainstream research direction. He has never gone down this path at all, so naturally he cannot be better than Ximen Guan decades ago.

Although Ximen Guan is very powerful, after he came out, he still studied and researched the latest magic costume technology. Many of the technologies used in the transformation of the Ghost Face Magic Costume are borrowed from the current magic costume technology, and Ximen Guan is also in the process of learning.

Ximen Guan was so pleased with Li Xiu's compliments that he couldn't help showing his happiness. He said modestly, "You are too kind. In fact, without me, there would be no magic equipment business."

"That's true." Li Xiu still agreed with Ximen Guan's words. After all, he was the father of magic costumes, so it was not too much to pretend.

Ximen Guan was so proud because Li Xiu praised him so much. If someone else praised him, he would not be so happy and might even be dismissive.

Li Xiu is a top-level magic costumer recognized by Ximen Guan. Only such a person is qualified to evaluate his works.

"Old sir, did you use the technology from your previous magic suit on this one?" Li Xiu asked while looking at the magic suit on his body.

This set of magic costume obviously has a micro-scale design and is much lighter and thinner than ordinary magic costumes. It should have used similar technology as that set of magic costumes.

"You only used a few superficial things. The material of the base of this magic suit is not right. It's not realistic to completely change it into a magic suit with my level of technology. It's more cost-effective to just build a new one. Besides, the equipment and materials here are not good enough, and the funds are too limited. Just make do with what you have." Ximen Guan said casually.

When Li Zheng was about to leave, Ximen Guan stopped him again: "Why don't you consider using my magic suit? It's much better than this crappy thing of yours."

"I've sworn an oath. Would you dare to use it if it were you? Or can you help me make another set?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

"This set hasn't even been completed yet. Do you have the money to get the materials for another set? The equipment here isn't very good. If you want to make a new set, you'll need some new equipment. I checked online, and those equipment are controlled by Space City and White Night City. I'm afraid it may not be so easy to get them." Ximen Guan pondered.

"Give me a list and I'll see if I can find a solution." Li Xiu didn't care about a set of magic armor, but if it could be mass-produced, that would be a different story.

"Okay, if you really want to, I'll write it to you later. But I have to say one thing in advance, not everyone can activate my magic suit. Those so-called S-level magic suit masters probably don't have the ability to use this magic suit durable, so it would be a waste to give it to them. Even if it can be produced in large quantities, where can you find a magic suit master?" Ximen Guan said.

Ximen Guan knew that Li Xiu wanted him to produce in large quantities, and he didn't mind helping Li Xiu make the magic armor. After all, the stronger Li Xiu was, the safer he would be.

Changshengtian really found out that he had to rely on Li Xiu to save his life after escaping. The two of them were in the same boat, so he gave Li Xiu his unreserved support.

"Let's finish this magic suit first." Li Xiu waved his hand and left the laboratory.

Li Xiu found a backpack and put the Ghost Mask Demon Suit in it. The small Ghost Mask Demon Suit did not take up much space and was very convenient to carry.

The magic equipment is already in place. Li Xiu plans to go to the Haitian Trial Field before Sha Chu goes to Changshengtian, pick up the blood-patterned revolver, and make himself a real trial-taker.

Li Xiu also considered the Gate of Purgatory, but it seems unrealistic now. Firstly, Li Xiu already has a grudge with the Lord of Red Sand City, and secondly, he doesn't know what the situation is inside the Gate of Purgatory. It would be more reliable to go back and get the Blood-Patterned Revolver.

When Li Zheng was about to find Sha Chu and A Fei to explain things and then go to the Haitian Trial Field, he saw Ye Yuzhen rushing over in a hurry.

"I told you you can't come in..." The guard ran after Ye Yuzhen, trying to stop him.

"Lord City Lord... help me..." Ye Yuzhen's eyes were bloodshot and his clothes were covered in blood. He rushed over and knelt in front of Li Xiu and kowtowed to him.

His forehead hit the ground hard, making a loud bang, and it was broken in two hits.

"You guys go down." Li Xiu waved away the guards, stood up, helped Ye Yuzhen up and said, "Tell me what happened first."

"My sister has been kidnapped. Please save her. I will do anything you ask me to do as long as it can save her..." Ye Yuzhen said incoherently.

"Tell me clearly, who kidnapped your sister?" Li Xiu said as he told the bandit to prepare the car.

"Chaliang." Ye Yuzhen said through gritted teeth.

"Let's get in the car first." Li Xiu brought Ye Yuzhen to the door, and A Fei had already driven the car over.

After the two got in the car, Li Xiu asked Ah Fei to drive to Cha Liang's place, and Ye Yuzhen explained the whole cause and effect.

At the beginning, Ye Yuzhen took his sister to the magic costume master to learn magic costume techniques. Later, because the magic costume master wanted to do something bad to Ye Xiyuan, Ye Yuzhen discovered it in time, assassinated the magic costume master and escaped.

That magic costume master was Cha Liang's subordinate. Cha Liang actually knew about Ye Yuzhen and Ye Xiyuan, and he also recognized Ye Yuzhen.

It just so happened that over the years, Ye Yuzhen had always carefully protected Ye Xiyuan and prevented her from showing up in public.

But Ye Xiyuan is a young and energetic girl after all, and staying at home every day is not a good idea. It has been several years, and Ye Xiyuan has hardly met anyone.

Ye Yuzhen thought that he had now established himself in Chongshan City and had saved enough money to buy magic equipment. Ye Xiyuan would have the capital to protect himself in the future, so he contacted the seller and wanted to buy a set of A-level magic equipment.

He himself doesn't understand magic equipment, so of course he has to let Ye Xiyuan try it out himself before buying it.

But who knew that the seller he contacted turned out to be Chaliang's man. After they arrived at the place and were about to try on the magic armor, they were surrounded by Chaliang and his men who were hiding in the dark.

Ye Yuzhen relied on the magic spirit in his contract and rushed out desperately, but Ye Xiyuan was caught by Cha Liang.

Ye Yuxin still had a glimmer of hope in his heart, thinking that Li Xiu might be able to rescue Ye Xiyuan, otherwise he would fight to the death on the spot.

Li Xiu frowned slightly after listening to this. He knew Cha Liang because Sha Chu often mentioned him.

Many big businessmen in Chongshan City left, and among the few big businessmen who remained in Chongshan City was Cha Liang.

Moreover, the big merchants who stayed behind all had some relationship with Chaliang in some way.

According to Shachu, Chaliang himself is a big businessman in Hongsha City. Not only does he have access to gem veins, but he also has close relations with the top leaders of Hongsha City and is secretly doing magic equipment business.

A large portion of the magic armor in many small towns in the Southern Cross Federation came from Chaliang.

What Shachu meant at the time was that Chaliang must have an official background in Hongsha City, otherwise he wouldn’t have been able to play such a big game.

The reason why Cha Liang stayed in Chongshan City and did not leave was most likely the intention of Hongsha City. The Lord of Hongsha City also needed to know the situation in Chongshan City.

The reason why Shachu didn't move Chaliang was because Chongshan City was built in such a ghost place, where everything was lacking and everything had to be imported, even water and food had to be shipped in from outside. If Chaliang was moved, all other merchants would leave, and Chongshan City would be a ghost town. Except for a few people who were interested in the Trial Gate, no one would stay here.

Sha Chu meant not to touch Cha Liang for the time being. As long as there were still people in Chongshan City, it would be difficult to guarantee that there were no spies from Hongsha City.

Instead of constantly trying to guess who Hongshaxian's spy is, it is better to let Chaliang be here, at least to temporarily maintain the normal operation of Chongshan City.

Cha Liang was obviously very clear about this, so he was relatively well-behaved in Chongshan City and was cooperating with the work of the City Lord's Mansion.

The car was driving very fast, but Ye Yuzhen felt it was too slow and wished he could fly to Cha Liang immediately.

Finally, the car stopped in front of the gate of Chaliang's mansion.

"I didn't know the city lord was coming. Cha Liang, I'm sorry for being rude. Please come in." As soon as Li Xiu got out of the car, he saw a middle-aged man greeting him with a smile.

Li Xiu glanced at Cha Liang. The other party knew that he was coming before he arrived and was still waiting here. This was a rejection of him.

Cha Liang wanted to tell Li Xiu how powerful he was in this Chongshan City.

Li Xiu followed Cha Liang to his mansion. Cha Liang greeted him with a smile, seeming very humble.

He didn't even look at Ye Yuzhen, who was gritting his teeth, as if he didn't know this person at all.

Li Xiu did not mention Ye Xiyuan's matter. After sitting down, he sipped the tea brought by the servant, but did not say a word.

"I wonder if the city lord has come here suddenly this time because there is something important that needs Cha Liang to do?" Seeing that Li Xiu had been saying nothing, Cha Liang coughed lightly and said.

He could compete with Li Xiu in patience, but now Li Xiu is the lord of Chongshan City, and he can't do that.

"A friend's sister is missing, and I'd like to ask you, Boss Cha, to help find her." Li Xiu took a sip of tea, put down the teacup and said slowly.

"My Lord City Lord, you think too highly of me. I am just a businessman. I am good at doing business, but as for finding people, I have never done this before." Cha Liang said with a bitter face.

"You are the one who captured my sister, let her go." Ye Yuzhen couldn't help it and yelled at Chaliang.

If the bandit hadn't held him down, he would have rushed forward.

"I don't even know who you are, let alone who your sister is, so how could I arrest your sister? Moreover, in Chongshan City, only the Lord of the City has the right to order the arrest of people. How dare Cha Liang do such a thing?" Cha Liang looked at Ye Yuzhen and said, "Who are you? Why are you slandering me? Who did you accept the benefits from? Are you trying to force me, Cha Liang, out of Chongshan City?"

"Sir, this man has ulterior motives and wants to sow discord between me and the City Lord's Mansion. Please investigate clearly. I have definitely not done such a thing. If you don't believe me, you can search all the properties under my name. Cha Liang will cooperate fully and unconditionally." Cha Liang stood up and saluted Li Xiu, looking sad and angry as if he had been wronged.

"Ye Yuzhen, please sit down first." Li Xiu stopped Ye Yuzhen, then looked at Cha Liang and said, "Boss Cha, I must find the person. Are you willing to help me with this?"

"Chaliang will certainly help the city lord. But Chaliang is just a businessman, and finding people is not his strong point. How about this, sir? I have a batch of rubies here, which have just been shipped from Hongsha City. As a reward for finding the person, I will mobilize everyone in the city to look for him. With so many people looking together, we should be able to find him soon. Under your leadership, the people in Chongshan City are simple and honest. No one picks up lost items on the road and no one locks their doors at night. I believe no one will do such things as murder and robbery. Maybe the person you are looking for is just lost for a while and will come back by herself in a few days." Chaliang said, and asked his servants to bring in a tray with a row of rubies on it. Although they were not top-grade like pigeon blood red, the quality was already quite good.

Each ruby ​​in this row weighs two or three carats, and there are more than twenty rubies in a row. Their value is quite high. An ordinary person may not be able to earn so many rubies in his entire lifetime.

Ye Yuzhen's face turned very ugly. Chacha's meaning was very clear. He didn't want to hand over the person and wanted to pay Li Xiu to stop interfering in these matters.

With so many rubies in such troubled times, let alone buying one life, it would be enough to buy ten lives.

Ye Yuzhen was afraid that Li Xiu would accept these gems and no longer care about Ye Xiyuan's life or death.

Ye Yu really wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Li Xiu. Li Xiu looked at Cha Cha with interest and said, "Boss Cha, you are old, I am afraid you didn't hear clearly what I just said. Then I will say it again, I must find this person, will you help me or not?"

If Li Xiu just wanted to help Ye Yuzhen before and let the people of Chongshan City know that there are rules here and no one can act recklessly in Chongshan City.

So now Li Xiu’s interest in Ye Xiyuan is greater than both of them.

Cha Liang was willing to offer more than twenty fine rubies, but was still unwilling to hand over Ye Xiyuan. Was it just for Ye Xiyuan's beauty?

In this era, beautiful women are valuable, but also the least valuable.

As long as you have money, you can find any kind of beauty. Is it necessary for Cha Liang to risk offending him and pay such a high price to keep a girl?

This is obviously not justifiable. In addition to her beauty, Ye Xiyuan also possesses the talent of a magic costume artist. If there is anything more valuable than her beauty, it must be her talent as a magic costume artist.

Ye Xiyuan’s talent as a magic costume master must be extraordinary, as he could make Cha Liang pay such a huge price.

"Sir, Cha Liang is a businessman and really doesn't have that ability. Otherwise, just tell me how you want to find it and I will cooperate with you." Cha Liang wanted Li Xiu to name a price.

Li Xiu didn't say anything, he just took out a pistol and pointed it at Cha Liang's head: "It seems that you are really deaf."

As soon as Li Xiu moved, several magic armor masters and trial-takers rushed in and surrounded Li Xiu and his companions.

"My Lord City Lord, let's talk nicely. You make me feel..." Cha Liang thought that Li Xiu didn't dare to shoot, at least not now.

But before he could finish his words, he heard a bang and a bloody hole appeared on his forehead.

Ye Yu was really dumbfounded, those magic armor masters were also dumbfounded, and the trial participants were also dumbfounded.

No one expected Li Xiu to shoot, and no one expected Li Xiu to shoot so decisively.

Cha Liang thought that Li Xiu would not shoot. If he had known that Li Xiu would shoot like this, he would definitely not think of hiding his identity as a magic costume master in front of Li Xiu. He would definitely put on the magic costume before meeting Li Xiu.

Unfortunately, there was no if. The expression on Chaliang's face was frozen in astonishment and disbelief, and he slowly fell down.

Of course, even if Cha Liang met Li Xiu in magic costume, the result would not change.

"Do you want to continue to follow him, or become a member of my City Lord's Mansion?" Li Xiu looked at those magic armor masters and trial participants and said calmly.

A C-level magician suddenly raised his hand, and a halo of magic light appeared on his palm.

But before he raised his hand, a dark red figure appeared in front of him, and a samurai sword like a glow stick cut off his arm and the magic suit together.

Several glowing figures also appeared around Li Xiu at the same time, including the demigod Setsuna, Cupid Sagittarius and Pink Nightmare.

The room was suddenly filled with flashes of demonic light, the sound of metal clashing, and incessant screams.

Outside the house, one could see rays of magic light shining through the wall, and the inside of the house was also pierced by the magic light.

Ye Yuzhen looked at the corpses lying all over the place and the blood splattered all over the wall with a very strange expression.

Although he had known for a long time that ordinary magic armor masters would definitely not be a match for Li Xiu's magic spirits, he did not expect those magic armor masters to die so quickly and so easily, with almost no decent resistance, and were all slaughtered by the magic spirits.

There was an A-level magic armor master among them, but his death was much more undignified than that of the A-level Liucai mechanical skeleton. He was chopped to death by the Jedi Knight with just two swords.

"In front of a true trial master, is the magic armor master so vulnerable?" Ye Yuzhen felt more and more that he might have been wrong before. He should not have thought about letting Ye Xiyuan become stronger, but should have become stronger himself to protect her.

For Li Xiu, an A-level magic armor master is indeed easier to kill than an A-level demon spirit. He knows the magic armor master too well and knows the advantages and disadvantages of the magic armor. An A-level magic armor master is not so mysterious and powerful in front of him.
