Hu Xiao is a Conferred God King of the Sky of Adamant Gold who ambushes a wounded Ao Feng to seize the Condensed Earth Essence. Luo Qiqi identifies the opportunistic attack for Zhang Xuan. (Chapter 2,248)

Biography

The failed ambush

Hu Xiao camps outside the dangerous region and stops Ao Feng's weakened party, expecting an easy prize. When Zhang admits involvement, Hu believes he has found an even greater opportunity, but the confrontation reverses immediately. He surrenders his storage ring, kowtows, and is allowed to flee; Zhang later uses a pinnacle God Essence Pill from that ring to help Luo Qiqi. (Chapters 2,248–2,253)

Appearance and personality

Hu Xiao is predatory and opportunistic, choosing a moment when Ao Feng is too injured to fight at full strength. His greed becomes excitement when he sees a larger prize, but he abandons pride quickly once defeat makes survival the priority. (Chapters 2,248–2,250)

Abilities and cultivation

Hu Xiao is a Conferred God King roughly equal to a healthy Ao Feng. That strength is enough to dominate the wounded dragon expert, but not enough to challenge Zhang Xuan's party once Zhang intervenes. (Chapters 2,248–2,250)
