《Disciple, Don't Cause Trouble, Master Won't Leave the Mountain!》Chapter 61: They Had Their Own Ulterior Motives
Advertisement
After He Zhao possessed a body, he hid his aura and rushed to the He family's residence in Thunder City. He arrived at noon on the third day.
Thunder City had a population of over ten million people and was bustling with commerce. Apart from a large number of cultivators, there were also many ordinary people who could not cultivate.
These large cities were usually guarded by large families. They treated the people in the city as their possessions and let them serve their lives.
Ordinary people could also make a living from this, and at the same time, they were protected from the attacks of wild beasts from the jungle.
The towering city was right in front of them, and the city walls that were up to a hundred meters tall were densely covered with all kinds of array formations.
Just this wall alone was enough to defend against most of the attacks of the magical beasts. He Zhao had lived here since he was young, and it was already a common sight to him.
After paying the entrance fee, he still had to cross the busy and crowded streets. He rented horses and traveled for half a day. Then, he had to take a boat to reach the He family.
Cultivators in the city were not allowed to use their spiritual power to prevent from being accidentally hurting the innocents. However, it varied from person to person, at least He Zhao couldn't use his spiritual energy for now.
The He family occupied a vast area of more than 1500 arcs. In addition to Thunder City, the mountain forests outside the city were also the properties of the He family. Ordinary people could not see them. These mountains and forests originally belonged to the Yu family, but they were divided up.
He Zhao stood on the small boat and cupped his fists. Facing the gate, he said in a clear voice, "Inner sect disciple He Zhao, returning from the Mount God of Heaven."
The beast head on the vermillion door slowly opened its eyes. The majestic leopard head glanced at He Zhao. Its power only probed the primordial spirit.
If the name was correct, the leopard head would open its eyes and scan the person's soul. If it was not a person on the name list, it would shoot out a bolt of lightning. Even if the person did not die, they would be crippled.

The leopard head confirmed He Zhao's identity. It closed its eyes again and opened the door to him.
He Zhao clenched his fists. Both the inner sect disciples and the head of the family should have opened two doors, but now only half of them were opened for him.
But now, he had nowhere else to go except the He family. He could only swallow his anger and row his boat through the door.
After entering the door and rowing for another 15 minutes, they finally arrived at the he family's main residence.
He Zhao left the boat and went ashore. The servants on the shore who were waiting for him quickly pulled the boat and tied it to a pillar at the side. They wrote it down in a notebook at the side.
He Zhao took the waist token that the servant handed him and walked unimpeded all the way to the inner courtyard.
When he arrived outside the master's courtyard, he slightly tidied up his appearance. The body that he possessed was not as good-looking as his original body. It looked fine, he disliked it but there was nothing he could do.
Having his primordial spirit leave his body would damage his cultivation. After his cultivation had stabilized, he would go and find a good-looking one.
When the servant at the door saw a new face, he was on guard. He wanted to call for guard, but he saw that person greet him.
"It's me, He Zhao."
"How did you become like this?" Once the servant asked, he understood. He must have abandoned his original body and got a new one. He felt somewhat disgraced and opened the door for him.
The servant did not hide the disdain in his eyes, but He Zhao still smiled and thanked him with a good temper. He looked like a gentleman and didn't show his cunning thoughts.
He Cangming, the head of the He family, was already over 500 years old this year, but his appearance was in his thirties or forties. His dignified, square face made him look like a decent person.
He Cangming wasn't surprised when he saw He Zhao change his body. It was very normal for people who had reached the Psychic Realm to change their bodies.
It was just that the body He Zhao had chosen didn't look very good. It seemed that he had encountered a difficult problem.

"Lord, I have disgraced my mission and failed to bring back the immortal herb. Please punish me."
When He Zhao saw He Cangming, he felt shame and kept his head down. He knelt down and kowtowed hard.
He Cangming was displeased, but he smiled and went forward to help He Zhao up. He was concerned, "He Zhao, what happened? Why did you change your body?"
He thought to himself, 'Trash, you can't even defeat a guardian beast with Dharma Realm cultivation. I should have taken the immortal herb for myself!'!
He Zhao stood up. There was a bruise on his forehead. It could be seen how much strength he had used to kowtow.
"Master, actually, the disciple had already taken the immortal herb. But suddenly, a Black Bear Spirit came out from the side and stole the immortal herb when I wasn't prepared."
He Zhao showed an angry expression.
"That Black Bear Spirit was only in Dharma Realm, but it protected the immortal herb with all its might. It also used the opportunity to familiarize itself with the terrain. When I was beating it until it was on the verge of death, it was suddenly saved by someone."
"Oh?" He Cangming thought, "You're making it up, you keep making it up."
"That person claimed to be the master of the Black Bear Spirit, so I started arguing with him. He knew he was in the wrong, so he actually became angry out of humiliation and wanted to kill me. Moreover, he was afraid that he would have a bad reputation if he personally made a move, so he used the sorcery to pin me down. Then he called his disciples over."
He Zhao paused at this point, his turned grave, "It's actually Yu Sisi!"
"What?" He Cangming was really shocked. "Yu Sisi is still alive?"
"Yes, she even took that demon man as her master. She and the Black Bear Spirit tortured and killed me together. I only managed to let my primordial spirit left my body and escape when they were caught off guard."
He Cangming believed He Zhao's words, and his brows were tightly knitted.
He Zhao took a look at He Cangming's expression and continued, "Moreover, I don't know what kind of opportunity Yu Sisi encountered to actually reach the Dharma Realm."
After he said that, He Zhao retreated to the side and stood there quietly, giving He Cangming time to think.
He Cangming knew that He Zhao would not dare to use Yu Sisi's matter to deceive him. This person was mercenary and wanted a good reputation.
At that time, just by allowing him to become an inner sect disciple and fight for the position of family head, he could make He Zhao betray the Yu family who had raised him.
If He Zhao wanted to climb higher, he had to wash himself clean. He wanted Yu Sisi dead more than anyone else.
With Yu Sisi dead, his betrayal could be rewritten as a hero's behavior.
Recently, He Cangming had heard some servants sneering at He Zhao. He had actually let people spread the rumors that the Yu family abused their disciples and used forbidden techniques to absorb the cultivation of others for their own use.
Those who truly understood the Yu family knew that it was fake, but no one dared to step forward to clarify it.
Now, anyone who spoke up for the Yu family was going against the He family! They wanted to trample the Yu family's reputation under their feet to wash away their reputation for massacring.
Therefore, when He Cangming heard about the fake rumors, he did not stop them. Instead, he had people secretly expand it. When the time came, the He family's reputation would be washed away. Whether He Zhao lived or died, it was up to him.
He Zhao said that Yu Sisi had reached the Dharma Realm. Previously, she had seen Yu Sisi's innate talent. With her talent, she should not have been able to reach the Dharma Realm in this lifetime. However, from the time she escaped from the Yu family until He Zhao met her, she had actually reached the Dharma Realm in a short period of time.
She must have obtained some kind of opportunity or help. It was probably due to her master's power. If he could snatch it away...
He Zhao knew that He Cangming did not like him. He reckoned that once he completely cleansed the He family, he would be quietly eliminated.
Therefore, this time, he planned to use Jiang Yun's hands to get rid of some people so that He Cangming wouldn't dare to touch him.
If that Jiang Yun was any stronger, he could eliminate He Cangming...
Both of them had ulterior motives.

Luffy and the Strawhats, or help Meng Hao con increasingly powerful and influential people, or join Cecil Harvey and his friends on their weird journey to save the world, or make friends with Peter Parker while pretending to not know he was everyone's favorite wall-crawling superhero?

Find out in The Curio Shoppe! Author's note: Please suggest possible setting he could visit in the comments. I'll gather ones i'm familiar with, and at the end of every arc, a poll will be held to decide the next location he visits. There will be polls for other purposes, and I might not always go with the poll winner if I feel one of the other options is more fun to read/write about. I will not use the settings of other RRL writers without their permission.Do not ask for that, unless the author in question gives permission. Most settings he visits will be slightly AU in some way or another, but please remind me if I drift too far from canon unintentionally or characterize a character wrongly. This work will eventually fit all tags I selected once he visits universes suited to those tags, so don't ask when or where a given tag is coming. I do not own the cover art, it belongs to Nicholas Belanger Thiel, and I will stop using it if he asks me to. Kellan doesn't look like the old man on the cover, though once he acquires a disguise-type ability he may occasionally use that appearance. The tapir, however, will be a thing, as despite looking like a failed attempt at an elephant, tapirs are cool and this dragon finds them to be kinda cute. The art, along with more of Nicholas's pieces, can be found at https://www.artstation.com/artwork/51bXz
