Chapter Four Hundred and Seventy Four – A Visit from Liao Qi Chang
After victory of the battle at Turtle Island, Lil’ Miss did not hesitate and instantly retaliated against the Tian Family. Their battalions killed, the remaining Tian Family forces were not a match for Vermillion Bird Camp and quickly collapsed. Even the Old Master Tian that was in seclusion in hopes of breaking through to yuanying had to come out to save them.
Yet Zuo Mo and the others had returned by this time. With all of the experts in attendance, even though Old Master Tian had jindan third stratum cultivation, he could not stop Zuo Mo and the others from ganging up on him and was killed.
The battle that occurred between Turtle Island and the Tian Family astounded all of Xu Ling City. The Tian Family’s instantaneous destruction was a great blow to many people, especially those businesses that had allied with the Tian Family to work against Turtle Island. They were terrified and many of them even fled Xu Ling City during the night.
What was worthy of speculation was Xu Ling Sect’s attitude. Xu Ling Sect had not reacted to such a significant event, as though they did not notice it had occurred.
Having taken over the Tian Family’s territory and ling fields, Turtle Island jumped to become the second power of Xu Ling City and its reputation shot up.
The news that followed after pushed Turtle Island’s reputation to even greater heights.
Someone found had Yuan Xin’s bones.
Yuan Xin was found on a desolate island. His fleshly body had been destroyed only leaving behind pale white bones. If it was not his personal effects and artifacts that proved he was Yuan Xin, no one would connect this pile of white bones to the top ranked expert of Cloud Sea Jie.
Yuan Xin was dead, Ning Yi and Gu Ming Gong had disappeared.
The businesspeople of Xu Ling City entered a period of unprecedented terror. The businesses that could escape Xu Ling City all ran, while many the remaining businesses could not leave Xu Ling City, due to various reasons, could only await their fates. The news of the Tian Family, were nightmares that did not allow them to rest at night.
Xu Ling City was full of terror.

At this time Turtle Island was full of joy and cheer.
This battle had been a dangerous one but they had achieved victory in the end. Starting from yesterday, everyone was inventorying the spoils, and all of them couldn’t help but smile.
The richness of the harvest this time surpassed everyone’s predictions. The Tian Family was very rich, as would be expected of a family with a long history. It dazzled Zuo Mo’s eyes and caused him to drool. He finally knew that he had underestimated these local families.
In just jingshi, there were thirty six sixth-grade jinghsi, and the talismans of various types were innumerable. There were two sixth-grade talismans. Other than the Sky Ray Treasure Lens, the other was a rare sixth-grade ling plant talisman, Earth Spirit Matter Conveying Stone. He had taken the Earth Spirit Matter Conveying Stone from the body of the Old Master Tian. He didn’t know what this stone was forged from, it could continuously release ling power, and nurture all substances, it was a wondrous treasure!
Even Zuo Mo had never seen such a wondrous talisman before.
There were also many fourth and fifth-grade talismans but they no longer interested Zuo Mo. He gave them as rewards to the members with outstanding accomplishments in battle.
What were the most numerous was the Tian Family’s ling fields and ling mines!
The Tian Family had started out as ling plant farmers and even Xu Ling Sect could not compare to them in terms of ling fields. The Tian Family also had the largest number of ling plant farmers. Under the soft and hard tactics from the Tian Family, these ling plant farmers had signed death contracts. Now that the Tian Family was defeated, they also became Zuo Mo’s spoils of battle.
However, Zuo Mo had decided not to reveal the formations on the ling fields of Turtle Island to these ling plant farmers. He wasn’t ignorant and understood this method that completely upended the traditional ling farming methods, and would create endless trouble for him if it was revealed. Before he was strong enough, there could only be one outcome.
With so many ling plant farmers, he didn’t need to worry at all and only needed to send a few people to supervise the production.
This was a hen that would continuously lay golden eggs.

“Island Master really is powerful!”
Outside the island, Liao Qi Chang’s voice passed over the distance.
Zuo Mo leapt into the air and welcomed him. He saw Liao Qi Chang and Xu Zheng Wei come together and raised his folded hands in a greeting, “Mister Liao, Elder Xu, long time no see!”
Xu Zheng Wei hurriedly returned the greeting and his tone held a thread of awe. “Island Master, long time no see!”
If it was said he had just been shocked at the power of Zuo Mo and the others, now he really felt awe. The enormous Tian Family had been turned to dust in the blink of an eye. The power of this Turtle Island wasn’t just awe inspiring, it was terrifying!
Liao Qi Chang laughed brightly, “Island Master’s fight tactics are uncanny and will be a classic!”
“This is just good luck! Luck!” Zuo Mo pretended to be humble as he spoke, but he still felt proud inside.
Liao Qi Chang shook his head and said, “Luck? Island Master is incorrect! Who can destroy the Tian Family based on luck? Only people with great charisma and skill can do it! Even that battalion ranking can’t stay still. Thirty two, a rank that even the Xu Ling Battalion has never held. It seems the name of Turtle Island is going to spread through the entire Cloud Sea Jie!”
Zuo Mo tried to act humble but he still couldn’t help but smile, these were clearly the mannerisms of a lowly person that had accomplished their dream.
However, it had not gone to his head. He hurriedly said, “That doesn’t count, doesn’t count.What have you come for this time … …”
He saw Liao Qi Chang say with a smile , “This one has come this time for three matters.”
