Shangguan Hong had only just left the military camp when he was ambushed in an isolated corner. His corpse was, in terrible condition, was nearly diced into mincemeat. It could only be identified from the little trinkets left at the scene. As there was nothing that could be brought back to the Dragon King, the soldiers on patrol could only invite him to personally go down to see for himself.
