Formerly known as Fren, the third son in the Zhuge family had been nicknamed as 'Fren the loony'.
Fren's ruthless and tyrannical behavior had earned him this nickname. He was always furious and
presumptuous. And so everyone started to call him 'Fren the loony'.
"Oh?" The expression in Zen's eyes changed, and his face became more serious as he remarked,
"Fren's servant. What great fame for you! Good prestige! How dare you instigate internal battles in
Drizzle Peak?"
As with any other peaks, Drizzle Peak saw its share of in-fighting. But these struggles were internal
affairs.
Now that another peak had stepped into Drizzle Peak's internal affairs, all disciples would unite. In fact,
the other thirty-two peaks at Cloud Sect were like this, too. Everyone fought behind closed doors. But
once they got involved in a fight outside, they united against their common enemy. Unparalleled and
consistent.
Thomas had instigated Leo to attack Zen. This interference was taboo and a violation of laws. This was
not allowed to happen here!
Therefore, Zen's observation drew the hostility of Drizzle Peak's disciples. Thomas was hurled into the
spotlight.
An unfriendly expression grew on the faces of the spectators.
Once the thought clicked in everyone's mind, they all banded together against Thomas. Even though
Drizzle Peak was ranked the last among the other peaks, the disciples still felt a strong sense of loyalty
toward their Peak and peers.
Fren was powerful, and the Zhuge family was certainly a giant among the noble clans.
Did the power of the Zhuge family mean that the disciples of Drizzle Peak could be bullied? What
angered the spectators even more was that Thomas was only a slave to Fren! He was not even a
disciple at Cloud Sect.
Thomas was very calm. To him, these outer disciples were a group of rabble. He was confident that
when they heard Fren's name, they would be scared and they would kneel before him. He sneered, "I
am arrogant. So what? I did it. I instigated Leo to pick a fight. What can you do?"
"What can I do?" Zen turned and sought Sean from among the crowd. Then he asked aloud, "Sean,
will I be held responsible for teaching him a lesson?"
Sean walked out of the crowd and took a look at Thomas. Then he said, "This person is only a slave to
the Zhuge family. He is not a disciple of Cloud Sect. He provoked us to attack each other in Drizzle
Peak. Of course, we must teach him a lesson. Even the masters will support us!"
"Well, good!" A smile spread on Zen's face as Sean finished. Zen walked toward Thomas slowly.
"You, stop there... what are you going to do?" Realizing the danger from Zen, Thomas took a few steps
back and shouted in a high, thin voice, "I am Fren's servant. If you dare to touch me, my master will
take you, will take you...."
Before Thomas could finish, Zen reached out as quick as a lightning bolt, twisted his thick neck, and
pressed his neck on the blade of the Purple Blue Sword. Then, Zen put a foot on his back and said in
an even tone, "Finish that sentence! I dare you. If I touch you, what will your master do to me?"
The sharp blade of the Purple Blue Sword was pressed on Thomas' neck. If Zen pushed even a little bit
forward, Thomas would be decapitated.
Thomas' face flushed. His eyes were fixed on the sharp sword. Screaming like a pig being killed
echoed through the battle ring. His lips trembled so much that he couldn't say a word. Soon the smell
of urine permeated the air. Thomas had peed himself.
At this time, an outer disciple stepped forward. He reached out and held the Purple Blue Sword's blade
with two fingers.
"Zen, this person serves Fren. If you kill him, I'm afraid your actions will be difficult to explain to Fren.
You can't afford to offend the Zhuge family. Why not let him go? I believe that Fren will also let this
issue pass," the outer disciple rationalized. He was dark-skinned, not tall but stocky.
Zen did not intend to kill Thomas. But he was angry that an outsider would come to Drizzle Peak and
incite a fight between him and Leo. Moreover, after Leo's defeat, Thomas was still arrogant and
superior. Although Zen would not kill him, he did want to teach him a lesson.
But when the outer disciple stepped out and suggested that Zen acknowledge the power and influence
of the Zhuge family, the situation changed. Zen began considering killing Thomas.
"Why should I care if my actions are easy or hard to explain to Fren? I'm not his servant." Zen stared at
the outer disciple and asked in a cold voice. While it seemed as though the outer disciple was giving
valuable advice to Zen's advantage, he was, in fact, pressuring Zen to bow to the Zhuge family. Zen
could see that he was trying to help the Zhuge family. Zen hated it when people tried to curry favor with
noble clans.
Before the outer disciple could answer Zen, Thomas, who was still at Zen's mercy screamed, "Liam,
don't stand on ceremony with him. Help me kill him. Kill Zen and my master will reward you!"
Liam Cao was ranked 15th among the outer disciples at Drizzle Peak. Though he was just half-step
into the nature level, Liam was stronger than Leo. Regardless of his power, Liam could not mingle with
children from noble clans like Fren easily because of his background. However, Liam Cao had
maintained good relationships with clansmen from the offshoot branches of the Zhuge family.
The purpose of Liam's intervention on Thomas' behalf was to earn favor with Fren. If things went
according to plan, this would be a good opportunity for him to be connected with
Fren.
