Background / History
Leng Tieya's current identity began when Chu Zhiyuan used the human-origin Heavenly Marriage Reincarnation Method on a Heavenly Demon through a clone carried by a Flying Dagger. The clone integrated with Leng Tieya's soul through the Great Demon Subduing Seal and became the Leng Family's third young master in Zhongyun City. This position gave him access to the Demon Realm's prominent families, secrets, and power structure. 954 969
After his integration, he learned the Demon Race's system of reincarnation through rank regression. He also inherited the status of a scion whose elder brother had died, whose second brother was favored as heir, and whose position within the Leng Manor was tenuous. Leng Yuqing, however, had protected him since childhood and served as both an elder sister and maternal figure. 954 962
During the contest for a Void-Breaking Demonic Artifact in Golden Silk Gorge, he sustained serious injuries, survived pursuit by Golden Feather Birds, and met Song Lianshuang. He secretly used the Soul Suppression Seal to kill the birds and later ambushed other competitors for the artifact. 954 956 959
He recovered memories of a past life as Lu Tiansu, a Great Heavenly Demon who had lived a thousand years earlier, by refining the Void-Breaking Demonic Artifact. The inherited experience accelerated his cultivation and supplied techniques and insight unavailable to an ordinary young Heavenly Demon. 969 970
Appearance
Leng Tieya is generally presented as a handsome, vigorous young demon cultivator. His transformation from a formerly gloomy and suppressed young man into a radiant, confident figure is obvious to those who knew him before his fortuitous encounters. 957 972

- His swordsmanship commonly manifests as flowing white ribbons or white rainbows of light. 973 1011
- Uses masks and alternate identities when operating outside the Great Heavenly Demon Palace. 1013 1024
- The Cloud Concealing Treasure Robe dramatically suppresses his aura and makes him less conspicuous. 999 1000
Personality
Leng Tieya is ambitious, calculating, and unusually patient. After Meng Qi engineers the breaking of his engagement to Lu Qiaozhen, he refuses to seek impulsive revenge; instead, he chooses cultivation, travel, and long-term preparation. 968 969
He is cautious around gifts, alliances, and institutions. He distrusts the Great Heavenly Demon Palace's easy favor, sees through the Meng Family's attempts to recover the Soul Suppression Seal cheaply, and keeps his greater abilities concealed when doing so is advantageous. 962 986 997
Despite his self-interest, he is protective of allies and hostile toward the Ghost Bone Sect's practices. He deliberately beheads its disciples after learning that they cultivate Ghost Bone Flowers from human heads, and he destroys resurrected enemies to prevent further abuse of the sect's resurrection method. 1005
