Zhang Kui

Zhang Kui is a mortal body-refinement warrior residing in the Spirit Realm. He is a member of the Heavenly East Enterprise where he is a leader of one of its guard squads. His squad is responsible for guarding convoys transporting cargo.
== First Meeting ==
Zhang Kui was tasked with guarding a convoy carrying a shipment of supplies to the An Yuan City within the Heavenly Origin Region. The convoy traveled through a desert and encountered an unfamiliar human in need of assistance. Zhang Kui stopped to assist the human and discovered that the had arrived through a spatial rift. 
This individual was Han Li who had just ascended to the Spirit Realm. Han Li's cultivation regressed one part due to expending his energy breaching the barrier to the realm, and the other part due to restrictions placed on him by an Ice Phoenix who was a traveling companion. 
Zhang Kui recruited Han Li into serving the Heavenly East Enterprise in exchange for assistance helping him out of the desert. Zhang Kui was surprised when he learned that Han Li was a body-refiner who cultivated the Vajra Arts. Zhang Kui was elated that he managed to find and recruit a powerful individual. His decision paid off when Han Li helped defend the convoy from an assault by demon insects.
== The Wild Beast Torrent ==
Zhang Kui managed to safely get the convoy to the An Yuan city. He brought the convoy to a mistress of the leader of the Heavenly East Enterprise who led the group within the city. Here he introduced Han Li to the mistress. Unfortunately Zhang Kui picked the worst time to be in the city. The city was on a verge of a massive assault by Demon Beasts called the Beast Torrent. Ordinarily, the Beast Torrent was a regular occurrence when the population of Demon Beasts became out of control. However, this Beast Torrent was instigated behind the scenes by a powerful Black Phoenix who was using the beast torrent to recapture one of their kin.
Already within the city, Zhang Kui was conscripted to defend the city. He commanded over 200 soldiers from the Heavenly East Enterprise in battle against the torrent. He became battered and exhausted after several days of fighting. Despite his efforts the city was overrun resulting in a loss for the human race. He was among the survivors that escaped the city.
