Chapter 77: The Father of Magical Suit



Qin Shi’s words made Li Xiu frown, not because he was angry, but because he thought of some bad things.

The higher the status of God in the magician's heart, the greater the harm he may cause in the future.

"Maybe, I should do something." Looking at Qin Shi, Li Xiu felt that if he did nothing, someone might be hurt because of him.

But what can he do now? Stand up and say that he is the real "God"?

Without Hong Hualang, who could recognize him as the true God?

"Guan Jinghao, I don't care what you want to do, but you can't do those things in the name of God." Li Xiu and Guan Jinghao don't have a very good relationship.

Guan Jinghao is the owner of the Space City, and Li Xiu is just a hired magic costumer. Because the Space City can give him the best magic costumes and the best treatment, and for some personal reasons, he signed a long-term employment contract with the Space City.

However, Li Xiu had no ill feelings towards Guan Jinghao before, but he also had no good feelings towards him. It could only be said that the two people had different ideas and did not have much in common.

Li Xiu also admitted that Guan Jinghao was a very capable and ambitious person.

However, Li Xiu could not fully agree with some of his ways of doing things.

All along, Li Xiu has only been responsible for the task of killing evil spirits in the Space City, and does not participate in other decisions and work in the Space City.

Guan Jinghao also talked to Li Xiu several times, hoping that Li Xiu could truly become the core class of the Space City, but was rejected by Li Xiu every time.

If Li Xiu was here, he would never come to Taylor City.

He could understand why Guan Jinghao wanted to find someone to replace him. From Guan Jinghao's perspective, he also had his reasons.

Li Xiu didn't care whether he could continue to stay in the space city, nor did he care about the top-level magic costume Honghualang. He didn't care about the name of God.

But Qin Shi's words touched Li Xiu a little.

If people like Qin Shi were harmed because of the name of God, that would be something Li Xiu didn't want to see.

"Maybe the person named God is not what you imagined. You may be disappointed when you meet him in person." Li Xiu said to Qin Shi.

"It doesn't matter what he looks like. I only care about what he does, not what he looks like." Qin Shi obviously misunderstood Li Xiu's meaning.

Li Xiu shook his head, said nothing more, got up and went back to his room.

When he arrived at the door of the room, he saw Ah Fei standing outside, obviously waiting for him.

"My enemy is more powerful than I thought." The bandit looked at Li Xiu and said.

"Maybe, we already have a common enemy." Li Xiu knew what A Fei meant, and he didn't let A Fei continue speaking.

"What do you mean?" Ah Fei looked at Li Xiu in confusion.

"You've waited for so many years, so you don't mind waiting a little longer. Find out the truth first. Since I promised you, I will definitely take responsibility to the end." Li Xiu didn't explain too much.

Back in the room, Li Xiu lay on the bed to rest. Carrying the Fire Lotus Sword as a burden every day made his body in a state of fatigue all the time.

As usual, he checked the magic cores in his personal collection and found that one was missing. The levels of the magic cores that had disappeared recently were gradually becoming higher and higher, which made Li Xiu a little uneasy.

Li Xiu put the magic core he kept close to him into the box, intending to try and see how his body would react if the magic core was not on him.

The next morning, Li Xiu dragged his heavy body out for a walk.

Lying down every day is not a solution. Putting on magic costume and going out for a walk is actually no different from lying down. You only need to use your brain and don't need to consume physical energy.

Walking slowly along the street, Li Xiu's clothes were almost soaked with sweat before he had gone far.

After walking a short distance, Li Xiu needed to sit down and rest for a while before continuing walking.

When passing by a basketball court, Li Xiu saw someone shooting on the court, which surprised Li Xiu.

A court like this that is so dilapidated that it is almost abandoned is mostly played by children of ordinary residents.

With the current situation in Taylor City, how can children from ordinary families have the mood to come here to play basketball?

Li Xiu was tired from walking, so he sat on a bench next to the basketball court to rest and watched the man shoot.

The person was wearing a sports suit and looked like a woman with a ponytail.

She was standing with her back to Li Xiu, so Li Xiu couldn't see her appearance.

The woman's shooting skills were obviously not very good. She could only make one or two out of ten shots. Once, the basketball bounced in the direction of Li Xiu. When the woman turned around to pick up the ball, Li Xiu finally saw her appearance clearly.

"Sha Chu?" Li Xiu became alert. This woman Sha Chu was an extremely dangerous person. Li Xiu did not bring any magic armor when he came out.

"Do I look that scary?" Sha Chu picked up the ball, walked to Li Xiu with a smile, and sat side by side on the bench.

"Appearance is never scary." Li Xiu knew that it was useless to run away now, so he simply stayed still and said while resting: "You won't tell me that our encounter was accidental, right?"

"Are you interested in joining Changshengtian?" Sha Chu's directness surprised Li Xiu.

Originally they only suspected that Sha Chu was a member of Changshengtian, but now that she has admitted it herself, there is no doubt anymore.

"Am I qualified to join Changshengtian?" Li Xiu smiled and said without comment.

"Those who can join Changshengtian are either the leaders of a region or the top talents in various fields. You are very talented in magic armor and are already considered a top magic armor master. With my recommendation, you are of course qualified to join Changshengtian." Sha Chu said.

"Since you know that I am a top magic armor master, you should naturally know that magic armor masters like me are quite popular. Why should I join Changshengtian?" Li Xiu said with a smile.

"That depends on what your goal is." Sha Chu gently stroked the strands of hair on her forehead. In the morning light, she actually had a bit of the innocence of a student.

"What other goals do I have?" Li Xiu said lightly.

"Indeed, as a magic armor master, your room for further advancement is already very small. But if you are a trial participant, perhaps you haven't even entered the door yet." Sha Chu said.

"I'd like to hear the details." Li Xiu was really interested in knowing what Sha Chu was going to say next.

"What people think of as the trial field now is, to use a metaphor, just a lounge for warm-up activities. There is no real entrance at all." Sha Chu continued: "Do you know where those demons come from? What is the world of demons like? Do you know what a true trialer is? Do you... want... to... live... forever... and never... grow old...?"

"Immortality?" Li Xiu looked at Sha Chu in surprise, wondering if she was crazy. Did she think that just because she was a member of Changshengtian, she could really be immortal?

"Do you know the story of Qin Shihuang's pursuit of immortality?" Sha Chu asked with a smile, not caring about Li Xiu's gaze.

"Of course I know. You don't want to tell me that you have created the elixir of life, right?" Li Xiu felt that Sha Chu was becoming more and more like a liar, and a very clumsy liar at that.

"There is no elixir of immortality, but there is a person who has lived for thousands of years and is immortal. He is in Changshengtian. As long as you join Changshengtian, you can share the secret of immortality." Sha Chu said word by word.

"Have you ever studied MLM?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.

"I know this is hard to believe, but it doesn't matter, you will believe it." Shachu stood up and said, "Come with me to a place."

"Can I not go?" Li Xiu didn't move.

"Okay." Sha Chu stretched out her hand, and a stream of light flew out from her palm and was held in her hand. It was the Tang sword with sheath that she had been carrying on her back.

Sha Chu held the handle of the knife and made a motion to draw the knife, but she was not seen pulling it out.

Snap!

The top button of Li Xiu's shirt broke into two pieces and fell to the ground.

"Can I make a request?" Li Xiu knew that he had to go this time. The knife was so fast that he wouldn't be able to react even if he didn't have the Fire Lotus Sword.

Although there are still Jedi Knights that can be used, they are only E-level monsters after all, and cannot compare to the two-headed monster that Sha Chuqi had before.

"explain."

"Can I go back and get my magic suit?" Li Xiu asked with a smile.

"Do you think I look like a fool?" Sha Chu put his delicate face in front of Li Xiu and asked him to take a closer look.

"That's not possible. Can I ask for a car to pick me up and drop me off? I'm a little tired and can't walk." Li Xiu said again.

"Here are more high-end means of transportation, guaranteed to satisfy you." Sha Chu took off the gem inlaid on the ring on his finger and threw it casually on the basketball court. When the ring was in the air, it turned into a demon spirit like a steel two-headed dragon.

Sha Chu leaped onto the back of the demon spirit that was more than ten meters high.

"It's a bit too high." Li Xiu walked up to the evil spirit but did not move. With the Fire Lotus Sword, it was difficult for him to even climb up, let alone jump up.

The evil spirit lowered its head, bit Li Xiu's collar, lifted him up and placed him next to Sha Chu.

The demon spirit flapped its wings and rushed into the sky with the two of them. The flight was very stable, but the oncoming airflow was a bit strong, which made Li Xiu's facial muscles a little deformed.

"That's the bad thing about being a magic armor master. No matter how powerful he is, without the magic armor he's just an ordinary person." Li Xiu now wished he could become a real trial-taker immediately. Without the Fire Lotus Sword, he could at least find a way to escape. But now he didn't even have the chance to escape.

Just make the best of it, Li Xiu sat on the back of the two-headed demon and admired the scenery below.

"How do you feel?" Sha Chu asked with a smile.

"This is the first time for me to ride in such a high-end means of transportation. Except for the strong wind and being a bit cold, everything else is fine." Li Xiu said casually.

"When you become a true trial-taker, this kind of wind will be nothing to you." Sha Chu said lightly.

Sha Chu said this, but he still asked the two-headed demon to slow down its flying speed, making Li Xiu feel a little better.

After the two-headed demon flew out of the range of Taro City, it descended to a certain altitude, almost flying over the jungle, and the air flow was not so cold.

"Where are you taking me?" Li Xiu asked.

"You'll know when you get there." Sha Chu did not answer his question.

Li Xiu didn't ask any more questions and just lay down on the demon's back to rest.

There is a concave area between the two necks of the two-headed monster extending to the back, so you don’t have to worry about falling when sleeping in it.

The demon spirit's body felt like hard steel, and it was not very comfortable to sleep in. Li Xiu changed to a more comfortable position and continued to rest.

"Aren't you afraid that this is the last time you can see this world? Don't you want to see it a few more times?" Sha Chu saw that Li Xiu was not afraid or nervous at all, so he pretended to be indifferent.

"What's the use of being afraid? Will I not have to die if I'm afraid? If I'm afraid, you will let me go, and I will even kneel down for you now." Li Xiu said with his eyes closed.

"You are quite realistic." Sha Chu didn't say anything else.

Perhaps it was because the two-headed demon flew very slowly, or perhaps the place Sha Chu wanted to go was too far, the two-headed demon flew for a whole day and still hadn't arrived.

Li Xiu was awakened by hunger, and when he woke up he saw the starry night sky.

"Not here yet?" Li Xiu stretched and sat up.

"Almost." Sha Chu glanced at Li Xiu and said, "It's rare that you can actually sleep."

"Is there anything to eat?" Li Xiu ignored her and asked while rubbing his stomach.

"Let's use this for now." Chu Sha handed a small bag of bread to Li Xiu.

Li Xiu didn't hesitate to take the bread, tore open the bag, and broke it into pieces before stuffing them into his mouth.

Before Li Xiu finished eating the bread, the two-headed demon began to lower its flying altitude and landed in a canyon in the jungle.

"We're here." Sha Chu jumped off the demon's back.

Li Xiu didn't jump, but slid down the demon's back.

"Come with me." Sha Chu stretched out her hand, and the two-headed demon spirit turned into a ring and returned to her finger.

"It's a really good means of transportation. It's purely green, natural, pollution-free, and doesn't require oil." Li Xiu exclaimed.

Sha Chu walked in front, and Li Xiu followed behind her. With the Fire Lotus Sword in hand and the canyon road difficult to walk on, Li Xiu walked very slowly.

"Now that everyone is here, is there any point in delaying time?" Sha Chu turned around and glared at Li Xiu with some dissatisfaction.

"I'm not trying to delay time, but I really can't walk and my body is not feeling well," said Li Xiu.

"What? Men also have those days every month?" Sha Chu felt that Li Xiu was quite interesting, and spoke in a much more relaxed manner.

"More than a few days." Li Xiu didn't mind and answered with a smile.

"Okay, I'll see what tricks you can come up with." Sha Chu didn't urge him anymore. He just stood there and watched Li Xiu move slowly step by step.

Not only did Li Xiu walk slowly, he also had to rest for a while after walking a few hundred meters, like a weak and consumptive patient.

Seeing that he was sweating profusely and his clothes were almost soaked, Shachu asked in confusion, "What happened to you?"

Li Xiu shook his head without answering, but just gritted his teeth and continued walking forward.

Sha Chu took him into a cave next to the canyon. Fortunately, the cave had been artificially repaired, the road was very flat, and electric lights were installed inside, so it was not too difficult to walk.

"arrive."

After finally hearing what Sha Chu said, Li Xiu was so tired that he collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.

Looking around, he saw that this was the end of the cave. Sha Chu groped on the stone wall at the end of the cave for a while, and the stone wall actually slid to both sides like an electric door, revealing a room carved out inside.

There was a large iron cage in the room, and inside the cage was a person with disheveled hair.

His clothes were tattered, his long gray-black hair was messy, and his face was covered with scars. He almost looked like no human being.

"Could this be the immortal person who has lived for thousands of years as you said?" Li Xiu said while panting.

"The undead won't let you see them so easily." Sha Chu walked to the iron cage, opened a locked small window on it, and shook the bag of food she brought into the cage piece by piece through the small window.

The prisoners immediately rushed up, grabbed the food and started to eat it randomly, ignoring Sha Chu and Li Xiu.

Li Xiu watched patiently and didn't ask any more questions. He knew that since Sha Chu brought him here, he would definitely tell him something.

"Have you ever heard of the name Ximen Guan?" Sha Chu locked the small window again and said to Li Xiu.

"Ximen Guan?" Li Xiu was shocked and looked at the prisoner who looked like a madman with wide eyes: "You don't mean to say that this person is Ximen Guan, do you?"

Of course Li Xiu knew the name Ximen Guan. The concept and idea of ​​magic suit was proposed by Ximen Guan. Even the prototype of the first magic suit was made by Ximen Guan, who was known as the father of magic suit.

It can be said that Ximen Guan is one of the greatest figures in the era of demons. Without Ximen Guan and the magic equipment he developed, humans would have been exterminated by demons long ago.

"It's just as you thought. He is Ximen Guan, the Ximen Guan who invented the magic costume." Sha Chu confirmed Li Xiu's statement.

"How could he be here?" Li Xiu couldn't believe that Ximen Guan, who had been missing for so many years, was imprisoned here.

"Because he is a traitor to Changshengtian. Anyone who betrays Changshengtian will receive the punishment they deserve." Sha Chu said lightly.

"Ximen Guan is actually from Changshengtian?" Li Xiu was a little surprised and was not sure whether what Sha Chu said was true or false.

"Are you really Ximen Guan?" Li Xiu couldn't help but walk to the iron cage and asked the person inside loudly.

But the man ignored him and continued to eat his food. The way he ate didn't look like a human at all, but more like some kind of animal.

"You don't need to ask. He has been imprisoned here for decades and has basically had no communication with humans. His language ability has long since degenerated."

Shachu paused and said, "Do you know how he became a traitor?"

"I don't know, but I want to know. Can you help me solve this puzzle?" Li Xiu asked Sha Chu.

"Because he leaked what Changshengtian was researching." Sha Chu said lightly.

"Magic suit?" Li Xiu's expression became a little complicated.
