Zhang Lexuan

Biodata

Background / History

Zhang Lexuan leads Shrek disciples into the Star Dou Great Forest’s Mixed Zone to hunt Soul Beasts. A Hundred-Thousand-Year Blood Moon Wolf King attacks the group, killing eight disciples and grievously wounding the survivors. Zhang shields four of them despite suffering three claw wounds herself. When the wolf breaks through her defense, she despairs over the absence of Xuan Zi, the teacher meant to protect them 5 8.

Members of the King’s Escort Agency arrive before the wolf can finish them. Zhao Huaizhen heals the wounded, Cai Wenji treats Zhang’s remaining injuries, and Li Bai kills the wolf after Zhang gives him permission. Zhang thanks them and begins to reassess the agency, whose strength she had previously underestimated 6 7 8.

After Cai Wenji reports finding a powerful old man asleep and drunk nearby, Zhang concludes that Xuan Zi abandoned his guard duty and vows to confront him. Too depleted to lead the survivors safely out of the forest, she hires the King’s Escort Agency for one million Gold Soul Coins and places a separate Hunting Order for disciples still needing Soul Rings 8 9.
