Sha Xiao

Biography

Forcing Thieving Heaven's growth

Sha Xiao captures the young Thieving Heaven, demands to be called grandfather, and uses pain and threats to compel obedience. He forces the reluctant youth to refine Gu and remain in a competition he wants to leave, arguing that new Gu are necessary for survival. Later revelation identifies Sha Xiao as Thieving Heaven’s Dao Guardian, recasting abuse as a twisted form of destined guidance. (Chapters 1493, 1494, 1498, 1501, 1511, 2171)

Abilities

Sha Xiao is an elderly Gu Master with methods capable of monitoring, coercing, and punishing his captive even from outside a cavern. His guidance includes practical Gu refinement, but it relies on fear rather than consent. Being a Dao Guardian grants narrative connection and influence, not proof that every cruel act was necessary. (Chapters 1493, 1494, 1498, 1501, 1511, 2171)
