They couldn't figure out what kind of gourds the Qian family was selling.
Did the Qian family monks just leave like that? There were still many golden silk trees on the island, and some spiritual trees had obvious signs of being cut down. Obviously, the Qian family monks wanted to take these spiritual trees away, but due to time constraints, they did not have time to take them away.
Even if you can't take it away, there's no need to leave it to the enemy!
The most important thing is, why did the Qian family suddenly withdraw the monks stationed on the island? You know, Tongqian Island is one of the four most important islands of the Qian family. It seems unreasonable to give it up like this!
Did someone attack Treasure Island, forcing the Qian family monks to return for help? Or did something else happen
The Qian family monks withdrew, leaving behind an empty island with a large number of golden silk trees planted on the island. The spiritual medicines and spiritual fish had been taken away by the Qian family monks. The most valuable ones were the golden silk trees. There were more than 200 golden silk trees, which was a considerable fortune.
There were more than 200 golden silk trees that the Qian family did not have time to take away. The Qian family took away most of the golden silk trees, leaving only more than 200 golden silk trees.
Han Changming suffered a loss and dared not go to the island again.
"Fellow Daoist Liu, great-uncle, I'm afraid there is an ambush. Let's cut down some golden wood from high altitude and take it away. As for the other things, if we can't take them away, just burn them! We can't let the Qian family get away with it." Han Changming suggested.
Liu Feng and Liu Ruoyun both agreed. They were also worried about an ambush. They did not have many Qi-refining monks with them, so they should not suffer too many casualties. They also had to attack Black Swallow Island where the metal mines were located!
They controlled the magic weapons to chop the golden wood, but they didn't expect that there was really an ambush. Several flying swords and flying knives hit the ground, and a ball of dazzling fire suddenly erupted on the ground. A large area of red flames engulfed the flying swords and flying knives.
The red flames dissipated, and the flying swords and knives fell to the ground, their spiritual light dimmed, and it was obvious that they had suffered serious damage.
"Sure enough, there was a trap. Fortunately, we didn't fall for it."
Liu Feng's face turned cold and he frowned. He rolled his eyes and said, "Fellow Daoist Han, Fellow Daoist Liu, do you think Fellow Daoist Chen and his men will attack Black Swallow Island? Or Senior Brother Zhao?"
His guess was not impossible. Liu Feng and the others had thought of attacking Black Swallow Island, not to mention other people, or Zhao Tiangang was sending people to attack Black Swallow Island.
According to Zhao Tiangang's plan, they had to destroy the enemy's manpower, then join forces to attack Black Swallow Island.
This plan is good, but the problem is that everyone has their own selfish motives. Who can guarantee that Zhao Tiangang or another team of cultivators don't have other ideas? You know, once the island controlled by the Qian family is attacked, the Qian family will definitely withdraw its troops. In order to protect their home base, it is reasonable to evacuate Black Swallow Island.
Han Changming pondered for a moment and suggested: "Why don't we gather our forces as soon as possible and attack Black Swallow Island? The Qian family must have been provoked by something, so they withdrew the monks stationed on the island. We must act quickly. If I were the patriarch of the Qian and Ma families, if multiple islands were attacked, I would definitely strengthen the defense of the old nest. We can't move the second-level metal mine, so at most we can mine some ore."
"But wouldn't that mean we are violating Daoist Brother Zhao's orders? It would be hard to explain this!"
Liu Ruoyun frowned, feeling a little embarrassed.
Han Changming kept shaking his head. Liu Ruoyun was always hesitant and indecisive. With this kind of personality, he would not be able to go far in the world of immortal cultivation.
This is not Liu Ruoyun's fault. There are not many foundation-building cultivators in the Liu family. The Liu family sent Liu Ruoyun to lead the team because Liu Ruoyun is cautious and does things according to the rules. He cannot achieve great merit, but he will not make big mistakes either. From the Liu family's perspective, Liu Ruoyun is actually a good candidate to lead the team.
"There are many Qian family cultivators stationed on Black Swallow Island. We did not disobey Senior Brother Zhao's orders when we attacked Black Swallow Island."
Liu Feng said meaningfully that this reason made sense.
After they cut down more than fifty golden silk trees that were over a hundred years old, put them into storage bags, and immediately flew towards Golden Leaf Island to meet up with Ye Xin and the other two.
Jinye Island and Tongqian Island were less than three hundred miles apart. Two days later, they met together. The situation on Jinye Island was similar to that on Tongqian Island.
The Qian family originally defended to the death, but suddenly retreated, leaving behind a lot of property. Ye Xin remembered Han Changming's instructions and did not let the Qi-refining cultivators go to the island to search for property. She cut down some spiritual bamboos and flew towards Copper Coin Island.
"It seems that something is wrong with the Qian family. We need to hurry to Black Swallow Island."
Liu Feng said with some excitement, activating the flying magic weapon and increasing the speed.
Nine days later, they arrived at their destination.
Black Swallow Island is all black and looks like a swallow when viewed from the sky, hence the name.
As Liu Feng expected, the Qian family and the Ma family had already retreated, and Zhao Tiangang and the Chen family cultivators had already captured Black Swallow Island and set up formations to garrison on the island.
Han Changming cursed in his heart, "old fox". He thought Zhao Tiangang was one of the Seven Sons of Tinghai and would not do such a thing, but Zhao Tiangang did such a thing.
Zhao Tiangang is one of the Seven Sons of Tinghai. He should not break his promise and send troops according to the plan. Han Changming underestimated the greed of human nature.
This incident reminded him that in the face of huge interests, integrity is worthless and promises can be violated at will.
"Brother Zhao, aren't you going to attack the Ma and Zhu families? Why are you here?"
Liu Feng asked with a frown in a somewhat unfriendly tone.
Zhao Tiangang smiled and said, "We originally wanted to attack the Zhu family's territory, but the Zhu family withdrew their forces and defended their old nest. We couldn't defeat them, so we had to try to attack Black Swallow Island. Unexpectedly, we took Black Swallow Island very smoothly and killed some monks stationed on the island."
"Friend Zhao, this is not in your plan..."
Before Liu Ruoyun could finish his words, a deafening roar suddenly came from the mine, shaking the earth.
The monks present were suddenly startled and looked at each other with a look of vigilance on their faces.
Zhao Tiangang quickly took out the communication disk, typed in a spell, and asked in a deep voice: "Nephew Sun, what happened to the explosion?"
"Uncle Zhao, the Qian family has left a trap. Senior Brother Li and the others are all dead, and I am also injured. Send someone to rescue me quickly."
A male voice with a crying tone suddenly sounded.
"Which mine tunnel are you in? I'll send someone over right away."
"Ah! Poisonous insect!"
Zhao Tiangang's face turned cold, and he asked, "Nephew Sun, what's going on? What kind of poisonous insect is this?"
The only answer he got was silence. Obviously, the disciple was dead.
Seeing this scene, the monks present looked at each other in bewilderment. It seemed that the Qian family had retreated, but they left traps behind. If they went to mine ore, it would be easy to trigger the traps.
"Damn it, the Qian family is so cruel." Zhao Tiangang cursed.
Han Changming sneered in his heart, if you were not greedy, how could you trigger the trap
"The reinforcements from the Golden Eagle Sect may be on the way, but we heard that Haige has also sent people here. Let's guard the island first and wait for the sect to come and deal with it."
