Moli Xiao

Moli Xiao is the supreme commander of the Huyang Legion and the strongest member of Huyang City's five ruling families, responsible for the city's military defense during the covert war with Shi Kingdom.

Biography

Commanding Huyang City's defense

Moli Xiao anticipates Luo Feng's danger early enough to forbid his clan from provoking him, then coordinates the city's response when Shi Kingdom attacks multiple districts and forbidden areas. He deploys Huyang Guards, assigns defenders, and personally operates the Six-Armed Divine Owl against Yutian Xu. Even with the city formation's aid he can only injure that opponent, so he keeps Luo Feng stationed at a forbidden area until the attack ends and later supports giving him Shang Tianyan's tracing order to pursue Xue Yun. (Chapters 1531 and 1543–1554)

Transfer after the Heartshadow war

During the Heartshadow Sect invasion, Moli Xiao recognizes that Luo Feng's power has grown beyond Huyang City's established defenders and repeatedly urges the City Lord to contact him when danger rises. After Luo Feng takes control of the city, the Yu Kingdom capital withdraws the old administrative layer and transfers Moli Xiao because his military ability remains useful elsewhere. He instructs his son Moli Meng to follow the new City Lord closely, accepting that Huyang City no longer needs his legion as its primary deterrent. (Chapters 1579 and 1602)

Appearance and personality

No detailed physical description is established. Moli Xiao is cautious, dutiful, and quick to reassess strength: he avoids unnecessary conflict with Luo Feng, follows royal orders despite wishing he could remain, and consistently treats civilian defense and military coordination as responsibilities rather than opportunities for personal display. (Chapters 1531, 1543–1545, and 1602)

Abilities and cultivation

Legion command and Six-Armed Divine Owl

Moli Xiao is individually one of Huyang City's strongest eternal true gods, but his principal combat strength comes from commanding the Huyang Legion through the mechanical Six-Armed Divine Owl. Combined with the Huyang City formation, it can injure Yutian Xu, though not decisively defeat him. The corpus does not separate which effects belong to Moli Xiao's own cultivation from those supplied by the legion and city array. (Chapters 1508 and 1545)

Void traversal and military domain

As supreme commander, Moli Xiao can traverse the void directly and spread a domain that obscures ordinary cultivators' perception around senior officials. He also coordinates guards across the city through the central formation. These powers support rapid deployment and command, but no named personal Great Dao or cultivation technique is given. (Chapters 1543, 1548, and 1554)

Relationships

• Luo Feng: Moli Xiao first treats Luo Feng as a dangerous independent power, then relies on him as Huyang City's strongest defender and accepts his succession as City Lord.

• Lord of Huyang City: His civil counterpart; the City Lord handles general affairs while Moli Xiao directs Huyang City's military response.
