Chapter 79: Chapter 77 Father of Demon Armor_3

The body of the demon spirit feels as hard as steel, not very comfortable to sleep on. Li Xiu adjusted to a more comfortable position to continue resting.

"Aren’t you afraid that this might be your last glimpse of this world? Don’t you want to take a closer look?" Sha Chu said, feigning indifference as Li Xiu seemed unafraid or anxious.

"What’s the use of being afraid? Does fear mean I won’t die? If fear would make you spare me, I’d kneel before you right now," Li Xiu said with his eyes closed.

"You are quite pragmatic," Sha Chu said without further comment.

Perhaps because the Double-headed Demon Spirit flew very slowly, or perhaps the place Sha Chu was headed was too far, it took a whole day of flying without reaching the destination.

Li Xiu woke up hungry, witnessing a sky full of twinkling stars.

"Are we there yet?" Li Xiu stretched lazily, sitting up.

"Almost," Sha Chu glanced at Li Xiu, saying, "It’s incredible you can still sleep."

"Got anything to eat?" Li Xiu ignored her, rubbing his stomach as he asked.

"Use this to hold you over first," Chu Sha handed Li Xiu a small pack of bread.

Li Xiu didn’t hesitate, took the bread, ripped open the packaging, and started stuffing pieces into his mouth.

Before Li Xiu finished the bread, the Double-headed Demon Spirit began decreasing its altitude and landed in a canyon within the forest.

"We’re here," Sha Chu jumped down from the demon spirit’s back.

Li Xiu didn’t jump; he slid down along the demon spirit’s back.

"Follow me," Sha Chu gestured, and the Double-headed Demon Spirit transformed back into a ring and returned to her finger.

"It’s quite a transportation tool—green, natural, pollution-free, and requires no fuel," Li Xiu praised.

Sha Chu walked ahead while Li Xiu followed her. Carrying the Fire Lotus Sword, and with the canyon path being difficult, Li Xiu walked very slowly.

"With us already here, is there any point in delaying?" Sha Chu turned her head, somewhat displeased as she glared at Li Xiu.

"I’m not delaying; I truly can’t walk fast, my body isn’t cooperating," Li Xiu replied.

"Oh? Men also have those days every month?" Sha Chu found Li Xiu rather interesting and spoke more relaxedly.

"Not just a few days," Li Xiu didn’t mind and smiled as he answered.

"Alright then, let’s see what tricks you might pull," Sha Chu stopped urging him and stood there, watching Li Xiu move slowly step-by-step.

Li Xiu not only moved slowly but also had to rest every few hundred meters, looking like a sickly weak person.

Seeing him sweating continuously and soon soaking his clothes, seemingly not faking it, Sha Chu asked curiously, "What’s wrong with you?"

Li Xiu shook his head without answering and continued to walk forward, gritting his teeth.

Sha Chu led him into a cave beside the canyon. Fortunately, the cave had been artificially modified, making the path smooth, with electric lamps installed, making it not too hard to traverse.

"We’re here."

Finally hearing Sha Chu say they arrived, Li Xiu collapsed exhaustedly on the ground, gasping for air.

Observing his surroundings, he saw it was the cave’s end. Sha Chu groped on the rocky wall at the cave’s end, which surprisingly slid open like an electric door to reveal a carved-out room inside.

Inside the room was a large iron cage, and within the cage was an unkempt man.

His clothes were torn and ragged, long hair messy and greyish-black, his face scarred so much that he was hardly recognizable as a person.

"Could this be the immortal you mentioned who has lived for thousands of years?" Li Xiu said breathlessly.

"The Undead wouldn’t let you see him so easily," Sha Chu walked to the iron cage and opened a small locked window atop the cage, scattering the food she brought inside.

The imprisoned man rushed forward immediately, grabbing the food and tearing into it wildly, paying no attention to Sha Chu or Li Xiu.

Li Xiu patiently observed without questioning further, knowing that since Sha Chu brought him here, she would reveal something to him.

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

"Ximen Guan?" Li Xiu was startled, his eyes widening as he scrutinized the prisoner who looked like a madman: "You don’t mean to say this person is Ximen Guan?"

Li Xiu certainly knew the name Ximen Guan. The concept and idea of Demon Armor were proposed by Ximen Guan. He even created the first prototype of Demon Armor, hailed as the Father of Demon Armor.

Undeniably, Ximen Guan was one of the greatest figures of the Demon Spirit era. Without him and his research on Demon Armor, humans would have long been extinct by demon spirits.

"He is exactly who you think; he is Ximen Guan, the Ximen Guan who invented the Demon Armor," Sha Chu confirmed Li Xiu’s speculation.

"How can he be here?" Li Xiu found it hard to believe that Ximen Guan, missing for so many years, would be imprisoned here.

"Because he is a traitor to Changsheng Tian. Those who betray Changsheng Tian receive due punishment," Sha Chu stated blandly.

"Ximen Guan was part of Changsheng Tian?" Li Xiu was astonished, unable to ascertain whether Sha Chu’s words were true or false.

"Are you really Ximen Guan?" Li Xiu couldn’t help but approach the iron cage, loudly questioning the person inside.

But the man utterly ignored him, continuing to gnaw at his food. He did so with an animalistic ferocity rather than human.

"There’s no point in asking; he’s been imprisoned here for decades, essentially having no human interaction, with his language ability significantly devolved."

Sha Chu paused before continuing, "Do you know how he became a traitor?"

"I don’t know, but I want to find out. Could you enlighten me?" Li Xiu asked Sha Chu.

"Because he leaked Changsheng Tian’s research," Sha Chu said flatly.

"Demon Armor?" Li Xiu’s expression turned somewhat complex.
