Background / History

Le Tian first approaches Lu Yuan on Sandalwood Palace's third floor after noticing his interest in the Withered Wood Breath-Absorbing Formula. Presenting himself as the son of an escort-agency family, he offers Lu Yuan either a loan or lucrative private work, claiming to possess intelligence unavailable through Sandalwood Palace. Lu Yuan refuses, but Le Tian gives him a Zhongxing Escort Hall plaque in the name of future goodwill. 40 41

After seeing Lu Yuan enter a private room with Yan Nishang, Le Tian decides that Lu Yuan is a “big fish” worth following. He recruits Zhongxing Escort Hall martial artist Xu Cheng to monitor Lu Yuan and trail him into Black Triangle Mountain in hopes of profiting from Lu Yuan’s demon-hunting activities. 66 68

Le Tian secretly follows Lu Yuan into the ruins leading to the Ancient Demon Battlefield. When Azure Rock Sword Manor disciples trap Lu Yuan in a sword formation, Le Tian intervenes with his Burrowing Technique and drags him underground, saving him from being worn down by the formation. He openly admits to stalking Lu Yuan for potential gains, then reveals that he has spread word of the battlefield to attract competing factions and create chaos for smaller players to exploit. 72

The pair temporarily cooperate to breach the transmission gate’s guard. Le Tian creates underground distractions while Lu Yuan eliminates the formation’s members with archery and saber attacks. Once the path is open, however, Le Tian immediately enters the gate ahead of Lu Yuan. 73 74

Within the Ancient Demon Battlefield, Le Tian scouts the ruins and learns of the central grand hall, the sealed formation around it, and the presence of the Demon Suppression Office, Azure Rock Sword Manor, and Celestial Spirit Control Office. After being discovered by Xue Cheng, he is badly wounded while fleeing and leads Xue Cheng and a stronger swordsman to Lu Yuan’s location. 76 79

Following Lu Yuan’s defeat of Xue Cheng and Ling Xiao, Le Tian continues acting as a guide during their demon hunts. He later leads Lu Yuan to observe the three major factions contesting the grand hall and enters the hall with him during the ensuing chaos. 78 79 81 83

Appearance

Le Tian is a plump young man with a rat-like face and a round, expressive appearance. He initially dresses richly, presenting himself as a well-connected escort-hall figure rather than an ordinary martial artist. 40

• Often carries and gestures with a folding fan. 40
• Wears brocade robes and several fine jade pendants when first introduced. 40
• Frequently emerges from underground covered in dirt after using his Burrowing Technique. 72 73
• After fleeing Xue Cheng, he is shown bruised, bloodied, and suffering from a broken right leg. 76

Personality

Le Tian is sociable, smiling, and quick to speak as though he already has a close relationship with others. His friendliness is usually tied to opportunity: he offers Lu Yuan money and work, cultivates goodwill through his escort-hall plaque, and later follows Lu Yuan because he expects rewards from Yan Nishang’s apparent interest in him. 40 66

He is highly self-preserving and readily retreats from danger, entering the transmission gate before Lu Yuan and fleeing when powerful soul-form demon beasts appear. Even so, he is not useless in a crisis: he saves Lu Yuan from the sword formation, assists in breaking the gate guards’ formation, and provides valuable reconnaissance throughout the battlefield. 72 74 79 83

Abilities & Skills

Burrowing Technique

Le Tian can tunnel rapidly through soil and travel underground while carrying another person.

• Pulled Lu Yuan beneath the ground to escape six Azure Rock Sword Manor disciples; the tunnel collapsed before their pursuers could follow. 72
• Uses underground movement to evade enemies, infiltrate guarded areas, and approach opponents from below. 73 74
• Can emerge unexpectedly to seize an enemy’s ankle or trip them, disrupting coordinated formations. 73 74

Reconnaissance and Terrain Knowledge

Le Tian is an active scout who gathers intelligence before committing himself to danger.

• Explored the Ancient Demon Battlefield for days and identified its central grand hall, its sealed formation, and the factions attempting to breach it. 79
• Knows safer routes through the ruins and guides Lu Yuan toward demon-hunting grounds away from the major factions. 79 81
• Recognizes the strategic value of chaos between stronger factions and deliberately spreads news of the battlefield to draw competitors. 72

Diversion and Ambush Tactics

Le Tian complements stronger fighters through disruption rather than direct confrontation.

• Coordinates with Lu Yuan to isolate and break the six-man sword formation guarding the transmission gate. 73
• Distracts and trips Azure Rock Sword Manor disciples from underground, creating openings for Lu Yuan’s attacks. 73 74
• Uses his mobility to escape immediate threats rather than hold a position in prolonged combat. 74 83

Equipment / Items

• Folding fan — regularly carried during his first meetings with Lu Yuan. 40
• Zhongxing Escort Hall wooden plaque — given to Lu Yuan as a token of goodwill. 40 41
• Two spirit stones and an ancient dagger — recovered from side halls within the ancient grand hall. 83
• Iron plaque with a three-legged cauldron emblem — found in the ruins and handed to Lu Yuan. 83

Relationships

• Lu Yuan — Initially targets Lu Yuan as a potentially profitable connection, then becomes an unreliable but useful temporary ally. He saves Lu Yuan from Azure Rock Sword Manor’s sword formation, assists in combat, scouts the battlefield, and repeatedly abandons danger when survival is at stake. 40 66 72 74 79 83
• Xu Cheng — Zhongxing Escort Hall associate who helps Le Tian monitor and follow Lu Yuan into Black Triangle Mountain. Xu Cheng uses escort-hall markings and a signal flare while trailing Lu Yuan. 66 68
• Xue Cheng — Azure Rock Sword Manor disciple who discovers Le Tian scouting near the grand hall and pursues him, leaving Le Tian severely injured. 76 79
• Yan Nishang — Le Tian notices her private meeting with Lu Yuan and treats her attention as evidence that Lu Yuan is worth following. 66
