Zen Pewlu had come to the exchange meet organized by Nuya to see if he could find any suitable cultivation resources for himself.
After the Lakir Family's destruction, his days were filled with endless struggles and fights for survival. He had barely escaped getting embroiled in the Lakir family's downfall.
Zen was saved because he was tasked with finding the whereabouts of Lian Lakir after the latter broke communication with the Lakir family. While Zen was dispatched outside Lakir City, the city was attacked, ultimately saving his life.
The Lakir City and the Lakir clan behind it were destroyed. Zen Pewlu, who used to work for Lian Lakir, had nowhere else to go. He hid his identity as a Lakir Clan subordinate for quite some time before finding his footing in the Purple River Gate.
