The middle-aged cultivator walked out of the restriction quickly and saluted Chen Yunhao from a distance.

"I didn't know you were here, I'm sorry, my master is entertaining guests, please follow me...!"

"Lead the way..."

Chen Yunhao waved his hand.

He wanted to see what the sect had issued this notice for, because a month had passed. If the matter was settled, he would go back to Moyu Island directly.

The Zuo family was a medium-sized family. It had been nearly a thousand years since they settled here and established the family.

The entire family now had more than 2,000 people, all of whom were cultivators.

If there were children in the family who were born without spiritual roots, they would be sent directly to the city below to live the life of mortals.

Chen Yunhao followed the middle-aged cultivator in front of him and came to a reception room.

At this time, there were more than ten people sitting in the reception room, and four of them were wearing Thunder Mountain costumes.

Three of the four were at the foundation-building stage, sitting in the back row, and one was at the early stage of the golden elixir stage, sitting in the front row.

The other six or seven people should be members of the Zuo family. Before Chen Yunhao came in, these ten or so people were discussing something.

After seeing Chen Yunhao come in, the Zuo family members were fine, after all, they didn't know Chen Yunhao.

But the four Thunder Mountain disciples jumped up one by one, with surprised expressions on their faces.

Chen Yunhao's stay on the Inkfish Island was a secret, and no more than a handful of people knew about it.

"Hello, Uncle Master Hu..., Hello, Grandmaster Master Hu...!"

The four Thunder Mountain disciples saluted in front of Chen Yunhao in a proper manner.

The etiquette of a large sect is the most important thing, and Chen Yunhao's identity is here.

Besides, the disciples of Thunder Mountain all know Chen Yunhao's true strength. He is also a well-known figure in the sect, and a disciple who ranks very high on the list.

"Fellow Daoist Li, who is this..."

A cultivator in the middle stage of Yuanying from the Zuo family stood up and asked the Jindan disciple of Leiting Mountain in surprise.

"Leiting Mountain, Hu Shihua, I guess this is the head of the Zuo family?"

Chen Yunhao smiled and nodded at the four disciples of Leiting Mountain and introduced himself.

"Oh! It turns out to be Fellow Daoist Hu. I have heard of your great name for a long time, but I have never met you. Please take a seat...!"

The head of the Zuo family is an old man in his fifties, with a round face and a smile on his face, giving people a harmonious feeling.

Seeing that the head of the Zuo family gave up the main seat, Chen Yunhao was not polite and sat on it.

In terms of cultivation, he is also in the Yuanying stage, not much worse than the head of the Zuo family.

In terms of background, the Zuo family is a vassal family of Leiting Mountain, how can it compare with his status!

So Chen Yunhao felt at ease sitting in the main seat. Sometimes there is no need to be too humble, but people will look down on you.

Besides, he represents the second generation of disciples of Thunder Mountain, and he has a great master behind him. He can't lose face for his master!

"Everyone, don't be restrained, sit together."

Chen Yunhao glanced at the scene and nodded gently.

Seeing that everyone sat down again one after another, Chen Yunhao turned to ask the head of the Zuo family.

"I was in meditation on Moyu Island, and I received a notification from the sect's sound transmission. I wonder if your family has encountered any trouble?"

Chen Yunhao was a month late, but judging from the scene, the problem should not have been solved, otherwise the disciples of Thunder Mountain should have evacuated long ago.

But it shouldn't be a big trouble. Look at the cultivation level of the four disciples of Thunder Mountain at the scene. What big things can they do!

"To be honest with you, Fellow Daoist Hu, my Zuo family did encounter some troubles..."

After a general introduction by the head of the Zuo family, Chen Yunhao understood the ins and outs of the matter.

Each island and the surrounding sea area belong to the same entity.

For example, the four or five thousand miles of sea area around Yanling Island belongs to the territory of the Zuo family.

The Zuo family is a family of moderate size, with one or two thousand disciples, and consumes a lot of resources every year.

There is only a small spiritual vein on Yanling Island, and no large spiritual fields, so no spiritual medicine can be planted, let alone spiritual grains.

There are seven or eight people in the family who are good at refining pills, but they can only refine some low-level spiritual pills below level three, which can't even keep up with the supply of the family.

The consumption in the family, plus the annual supply to Thunder Mountain, all consume spiritual stones.

Fortunately, the Zuo family was lucky. Hundreds of years ago, an underwater spiritual stone mine was discovered within their own sea area.

The spiritual stone mine is not large. In order to keep the water flowing for a long time, the Zuo family strictly controls the amount of stone mined every year, so it has not been exhausted for hundreds of years.

In the eyes of outsiders, this spiritual stone mine is a goose that lays golden eggs, which is very tempting.

In addition, it has never been exhausted for hundreds of years. It is not a small vein as the Zuo family said, but the quality of the spiritual stone is low.

As the saying goes, money can move people's hearts, and the mines that are the main source of income for the Zuo family naturally attracted the attention of others.

Of course, flies do not bite seamless eggs. The location of the Zuo family's mine is also quite special. It is at the edge of the sea and intersects with the territory of another sect.

This gives others an excuse to intervene, saying that they want to redefine the scope of the sea area. Even a fool can see the implication!

In the sea thousands of miles away from Yanling Island, there is an island with an area similar to Yanling Island, but slightly smaller.

There is a small sect on the island, the Black Water Sect, which is considered a fourth- or fifth-rate sect, and its strength is only a few points stronger than that of the Zuo family.

Although this place still belongs to the Thunder Sea, it is out of the Thunder Mountain's own sphere of influence.

Although the Black Water Sect is not a very popular sect in the Thunder Sea, it has four or five thousand disciples, who mainly practice Black Water Kung Fu, and is also a tyrant in the nearby seas.

The Zuo family cannot defeat the Black Water Sect in a head-on confrontation, so they can only ask for help from the Thunder Mountain behind them.

Of course, it is not that the Thunder Mountain wants to destroy the Black Water Sect, but just to call a few disciples of the Thunder Mountain to support him, so that the Black Water Sect will retreat.

This kind of thing is as small as it can be for the Thunder Mountain.

So he randomly assigned a few disciples stationed on the island nearby to stand in line and support him.

Unexpectedly, when the Black Water Sect saw the Thunder Mountain come forward, they also had some intention to retreat.

But I don't know what happened later, it seemed very stiff and did not give in.

So the two sides talked back and forth for several rounds, and the Zuo family and the Black Water Sect also fought several times, causing damage to each other.

Anyway, for a month, the Zuo family couldn't mine spirit stones normally. As long as they sent people there, the Black Water Gate would come to make trouble.

After listening to the words of the Zuo family head, Chen Yunhao was also thinking secretly.

He didn't know much about the nearby sea area, so he naturally couldn't listen to one person's words.

"Please let me see the nearby sea map, Zuo family head."

It's not difficult to solve this matter, although it's the Zuo family's one person's words.

But the Zuo family has been mining the spirit stone vein for hundreds of years, it can't be fake, right?

If there was really a problem, the Black Water Gate would have come to the door long ago, why would it drag on for hundreds of years!
