Zhang Ji, a teacher from the Golden Roc Fort, sent a messenger to invite the Dragon King to a gathering at the Southwall Tavern.
Shangguan Hong had mentioned Zhang Ji's wish to meet Gu Shenwei several times, but Gu Shenwei had not really expected to receive the invitation. He was, after all, the arch-enemy of the Supreme King. No one in Golden Roc Fort would dare to have anything to do with him. Zhang Ji had a lot of courage to choose to meet in such a crowded place like the Southwall Tavern.
Gu Shenwei actually wanted to meet the teacher as well. They were enemies now and had even crossed paths before. Shangguan Hong had killed Master Lianxin by disguising as Dragon King, and later, murdered Monk Lianye as well. It was very likely that he had done all these under the advisement of Zhang Ji.
