Last updated 2026-08-02

Teng Xiao (Chinese: 腾骁) was the previous Arbiter-General of the Xianzhou Luofu, commander-in-chief of the Luofu Cloud Knights, and an Emanator of The Hunt.[1][2][3] He was succeeded by Jing Yuan after the Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae.[4]

Profile

According to Cirrus, Teng Xiao is a pure warrior, blunt and straightforward in every way.[5] Hanya described him as a valorous warrior.[6]

As the previous Luofu General, Teng Xiao was granted the Lightning-Lord, as seen during his battles against Ignamar,[7] Denizens of Abundance,[8] and Shuhu.[9][6]

Appearance

Teng Xiao was described as a towering figure in formidable armor who crashed onto the battlefield like a meteor. His weapon of choice was a colossal, blazing sword.[9]

History

The Xianzhou Cangcheng

In Year 6300 of Star Calendar, the Cloud Knights of the Luofu and other Xianzhou ships went to reinforce the Xianzhou Cangcheng when it was devoured by the activated planet Rahu. Teng Xiao was known to have fought against Shuhu.[6]

Ignamar

Over a thousand years ago,[7] the Luofu faced an invasion by the borisin.[10] Ignamar, an entity born of many heliobi fusing together, approached Teng Xiao and offered aid in battle in exchange for the possession of his body — a deal precedented by the pact between a hero and the Flint Emperor. A great battle was then fought between the two in Fyxestroll Garden.[7] After Teng Xiao's victory, the Ten-Lords Commission sealed away most of Ignamar's fragments inside the Creation Furnace.[11]

The Shuhu Upheaval

Teng Xiao was known to have fought alongside the High-Cloud Quintet at least once, with Jing Yuan as his Lieutenant.[8] During the battle against Shuhu, he called for Jingliu to guarantee the safety of the Cloud Knights from Dan Feng's Dragon Delirium.[12]
