Every failure makes one wiser. Han Changming had suffered a small loss during the siege of Huoyunmen. He did not dare to attack those small islands. If the Qian family imitated Huoyunmen and set numerous traps on the small islands, wouldn’t they be walking into a trap if they attacked the small islands
They pick on the weak and the weak. What they can think of, the Qian family can't think of
Liu Feng thought about it carefully, nodded and said, "I agree with Fellow Daoist Han's suggestion. If I were the patriarch of the Qian family, I would definitely shrink the troops, abandon the small islands, and strengthen the defense of the islands with important immortal cultivation resources. The Qian family's nest must be empty, but we only have six foundation-building cultivators, and we may not be able to capture the Qian family's nest. I think we should pretend to attack the Qian family's nest, but actually attack the island where the metal vein is located. How about it?"
The person leading the team for this mission is Zhao Tiangang, but Liu Feng wants to take this opportunity to make great contributions and gain the attention of the sect. He does not want to be suppressed by Zhao Tiangang all his life.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, this is not good! Fellow Daoist Zhao asked us to attack the Qian family, but we are going to attack the island where the metal vein is located. This is against the rules! If your sect blames us, we will have a hard time explaining ourselves!"
Liu Ruoyun frowned and said with some embarrassment.
To be honest, he did not agree with Liu Feng's opinion. There were too many variables in besieging the Qian family's lair. The Liu family did not actually want to fight. The reason was simple. After this matter was over, Ting Haige would pat his butt and leave, leaving a mess for the Liu family and the other four families to clean up. If the Qian family suffered too much loss, they would definitely retaliate against the Liu family in the future.
Furthermore, doing so would go against the orders of Zhao Tiangang, who is one of the Seven Sons of Tinghai. He is very powerful and may be promoted to the Jindan stage in the future. Liu Ruoyun does not want to disobey Zhao Tiangang's orders.
Liu Feng was a little displeased, frowned and said: "Fellow Daoist Liu, you can't say that. Senior Brother Zhao's order is for us to eliminate the Qian family's manpower. Didn't he say that? He only cares about the result, not the process. As long as we can kill the Qian family cultivators, we will have completed the mission. Besides, we may not be able to take over the metal vein."
Seeing this, Ye Xin quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "Fellow Daoist Liu, great-uncle, what you said makes sense. Let's attack the Qian family's lair first and kill some of their cultivators. This will also make it easier for us to report to Fellow Daoist Zhao. As for whether to attack the island where the metal mine is located, we'll see when the time comes. If the Qian family suffers heavy losses, then we'll give it a try. If the Qian family doesn't suffer any damage, then forget it. How do you think?"
Liu Feng pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement. Liu Ruoyun felt that what Ye Xin said made sense. The most important thing was that Liu Feng had made a suggestion. If Liu Ruoyun repeatedly objected, wouldn't that be a clear sign of making things difficult for Liu Feng
Both of them are in the middle stage of foundation building. The difference is that Liu Feng is a cultivator from Tinghai Pavilion. The fact that he was sent out by Tinghai Pavilion this time shows that he has extraordinary strength, otherwise Tinghai Pavilion would not have sent him out. Who knows, Liu Feng will hold an important position in the future. Liu Ruoyun does not want to have a bad relationship with Liu Feng.
They formulated a specific route of action, left the island and headed straight for the Qian family's lair.

Golden Eagle Sect, Golden Eagle Hall.
A tall middle-aged man was listening to a report from a beautiful woman in her early thirties in a green dress. The middle-aged man had a dignified face and one could tell at a glance that he was someone who had been in a high position for a long time.
"What? There's a metal vein at the junction of two seas?"
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned and said in surprise.
His name is Liu Siming, the leader of the Golden Eagle Sect, and he is in the late foundation building stage.
There are dozens of islands at the junction of the Golden Eagle Sea and the Red Algae Sea. Due to the weak spiritual energy and the long journey, the cultivators from the two seas did not send people to occupy them. As the dividing line, they sent people to explore it in detail. There are no precious resources for cultivating immortals in that area, only a few small islands with first-grade lower-grade spiritual veins.
"That's right. The metal vein is on the seabed. The metal mine was exposed when Tianfeng passed through that area. Fellow Daoist Liu, our Qian family has already sent people to occupy the island, but the people from Tinghai Pavilion have also received the news. Tinghai Pavilion will definitely send people to rob it. Please send troops to support us. We can't resist the attack of Tinghai Pavilion."
The beautiful woman in green skirt said sincerely that the Qian family had eleven foundation-building cultivators, two of them were traveling outside, and three had not returned from hunting monsters. In this way, the Qian family only had six foundation-building cultivators who could be mobilized. She was sent to report the news to the Golden Eagle Sect. The Qian family only had five foundation-building cultivators, plus the five foundation-building cultivators from the Ma family, there were ten foundation-building cultivators in total.
The problem is that in addition to guarding the mineral veins, they also have to guard their own territory and nest, and they simply don't have enough strength to defend. If the Golden Eagle Sect does not support them, the Qian family really won't be able to hold on for long.
"Tell me what happened in detail, don't miss a word."
Liu Siming ordered in a deep voice with a stern tone.
The beautiful woman in green skirt did not dare to be negligent and told the whole story truthfully.
After listening to the statement of the beautiful woman in green skirt, Liu Siming pondered for a moment and said, "I understand. You go down and rest first. I will discuss it with other junior brothers."
"Master Liu, this matter is of great importance. Please provide us with support as soon as possible."
The beautiful woman in green skirt said anxiously.
"I understand. You go down and rest first. We in the Golden Eagle Sect have our own rules. We will not send people there immediately just because you say so. There is a fixed number of cultivators and cultivation resources to be sent. We will send troops, but we need to discuss countermeasures."
Liu Siming frowned and explained that this matter must be reported to the Jindan cultivator. If it is not handled properly, it will lead to a fight between the two sects. He dare not act recklessly, and he dare not believe the one-sided statement of the young woman in green skirt. It is better to be cautious.
"Okay! Fellow Daoist Liu, I'll go down and rest first. Please make a decision as soon as possible."
Liu Siming waved his hand and asked someone to take the young woman in green skirt away to rest.
He rushed to the residence of the Jindan cultivator to report the situation.

Treasure Island is the Qian family’s old nest. Seen from the sky, it looks like a huge ingot of gold floating on the sea.
There are many silver fir trees planted on the island, so it is named Treasure Island.
The texture of silver fir wood is very hard, and silver fir wood that is over a hundred years old is suitable for refining second-tier defensive magic tools. With the help of thousands of silver fir trees, the Qian family set up a second-tier top-grade formation, the Thousand Woods Formation, and a second-tier medium-grade formation, the Small Mist Formation, on the periphery. There are three small islands around the Treasure Island, which surround the Treasure Island like a moon surrounded by stars, making the Treasure Island as solid as a rock.
Qian Sizhong is the most accomplished cultivator in the Qian family, having reached the late stage of foundation building.
He is already one hundred and fifty years old. Normally, no one would disturb him from practicing unless something happened. However, after the Qian family discovered the second-level metal vein, Qian Sizhong immediately sent people to occupy the island where the metal vein was located. While setting up formations and garrisons, he also sent people to notify the Golden Eagle Sect.
