Zhou Tian's actions naturally angered many NPCs. Some of them even directly declared their intent to fight Zhou Tian to the death. However, Zhou Tian's situation, coupled with his recent performance, had already caught the attention of the leading NPCs. Surely, based on Zhou Tian's recent conduct, it could be predicted with certainty that a conflict would ensure Zhou Tian as the victor. Therefore, under these circumstances, the leading NPCs wouldn't instigate a conflict rashly with Zhou Tian. Henceforth, not only did they refrain from lashing out at Zhou Tian as their subordinates wished, on the contrary, they actively held back their own NPCs, to prevent those 'youngsters' who didn't know better from dying at Zhou Tian's hand.
