Comments of chapter undefined of Disciple, Don't Cause Trouble, Master Won't Leave the Mountain!

Good question, I'm super confused. At first, I figured that his disciples killing all the He family members gave him enough points to increase his area all the way towards Thunder City, but if that was so he wouldn't be as passive as he is. I've no clue what's going on right now either, the whole tone of the novel just shifted suddenly. Could it be someone pretending to be him and he isn't actually there? All remains to be seen, even though the book has shifted a lot in tone, I'll still give it a couple more chapters as a chance to see a conclusion to why this happened.
