Can't Afford to Offend My Scheming Disciple

“It’s fine. I’ve asked the guys from Demon to watch over Hunsha Mountain. Qing Yangzi Martial Uncle should be fine for the time being.” Zhuo Hua looked around. Sure enough, the tigons were looking at Nan Chen and Li with hostile eyes.

Kaka asked the soldiers behind him to take care of Zhuo Yu, who fainted before he could get close to him, and he raised his hand, saying, “Don’t panic. These are the friends I met in Cultivation World. You can leave now.”

The words of the king carried some weight. After Kaka spoke, the tigon went to mind their own business.

Kaka took Zhuo Hua and the others back to the palace. Not long after they entered the hall, someone came to report that the general had suddenly fainted and his mansion was in chaos.

They hurried to the general’s mansion without a break. Zhuo Yu and General Zhuo were lying on the bed, and there was a doctor feeling their pulses.

After a long while, the doctor withdrew his hand and turned to bow at Kaka, saying, “Your Majesty, General Zhuo and his son have been enchanted by Ghost for a long time, and their health has been harmed. They will recover after a few years of recuperation.”

It was sensible of the doctor not to ask why General Zhuo and his son would be enchanted by ghosts. He left quietly to prepare the medicinal herbs.

A short silence fell upon the room.

“Ghost… Is it the black mist just now?” Kaka thought about the creepy black mist.

“That is… Ghost?” Zhuo Hua recalled that a thousand years ago Ghosts appeared, but they seemed to have disappeared after the Qingyu Pavilion was destroyed. Why did they appear here now?

“That’s right. Half a month ago, I returned to Demon and found that there were many Ghosts in Demon. I think there are Ghosts hidden in Cultivation World as well.” Thanks to traps set by these Ghosts, Nan Chen enlightened himself and broke through Deity Transformation. He was now a Tribulation cultivator.

Kaka seemed to have remembered something and asked Zhuo Wu’s deputy general, “Where is the military counselor that the general saved years ago?”

The deputy general stuttered, “Just now, someone went to his room and found a dry body drained of blood.”

It seemed that this so-called military counsellor was actually a dead man controlled by the Ghost.

“Then my father…” Kaka lowered his head, recalling that his parents died overnight.

“That’s right.” Zhuo Wu opened his eyes on the bed. “Your parents, my brother and sister-in-law were assassinated by him.”

Zhuo Wu’s eyes were filled with regret. “It’s all my fault. Ever since I kept that monster at home, I have been losing control of my temper. Even Zhuo Yu is getting hot-tempered. I noticed that something was wrong and intended to break away, but I couldn’t. I always subconsciously followed that monster’s instructions.”

A dead silence fell upon the room.

“Kaka, I’m sorry.”

Without saying a word, Kaka turned to leave. Zhuo Hua and Nan Chen exchanged a glance. They didn’t say anything and took Li to follow Kaka.

After all, the death of Kaka’s parents had something to do with Zhuo Wu, so they’d better leave Kaka alone for a while.

Huan Feng gave the doctor a few words and left.
