Background / History

Li Tuo first appears as part of Old Man Yun's Demon Slaying Division team sent to Huang Family Village. He is stunned when Lu Jun effortlessly kills demons and reveals that he has slain dozens more within the village's yellow-sand illusion 13.

He accompanies Lu Jun, Old Man Yun, and Fang Yilin toward Yunzhou, teaching Lu Jun the basics of Law Seekers, cultivation realms, True Qi, and the Demon Slaying Division's structure. During the journey, he demonstrates his ability to burrow through and manipulate earth 15.

After Lu Jun registers as a probationary envoy, Li Tuo offers him lodging in his own courtyard. The two form a practical partnership: Li Tuo accepts missions and receives contribution points, while Lu Jun keeps the demon heads and handles the fighting 26.

Li Tuo later becomes one of Lu Jun's most consistent allies. Although he repeatedly fears the consequences of Lu Jun's actions, he remains beside him through Qingci Town, the conflict with the Zodiac Gate, the Qinghe County campaign, and the Yunzhou crisis 27 43 72 100.

Personality

Li Tuo is boisterous, straightforward, and warm-hearted. He is easily alarmed by Lu Jun's ruthlessness and overwhelming strength, yet is quick to help others and genuinely wants to protect civilians 26 43.

He initially thinks like a conventional official: he worries about offending powerful figures such as Pacification Commissioner Xiao Yungui and attempts to stop Lu Jun from escalating conflicts 27 30. Over time, his faith in Lu Jun and the Myriad Laws Dao Lord gives him greater confidence, though his bravado often masks real fear 65 66.

His loyalty is especially evident when Lu Jun is critically injured. Li Tuo is willing to offer a jade pendant containing Dragon Vein Qi—a possession tied to his concealed background—to help suppress Lu Jun's demonic blood 109 112.
