Lu Guangfeng's face changed and he quickly controlled the green shield to resist.
The Han family cultivators came well prepared. They all had rich experience in fighting. There were as many as five foundation-building cultivators among them, who were far superior to the Lu family disciples. The result was naturally needless to say.
With a muffled "bang" sound, the green shield shook slightly.
The ground suddenly exploded, and two thick green vines emerged from the ground and headed straight for Lu Guangfeng.
Lu Guangfeng reacted quickly. After a burst of green light appeared on his body, it turned into a thick green light curtain, blocking in front of him.
There were two muffled sounds, and the green light curtain blocked the two green vines.
A huge fireball fell from the sky and hit Lu Guangfeng's protective aura, turning into billowing flames that engulfed Lu Guangfeng's figure. Even through the protective aura, Lu Guangfeng could still feel the astonishingly high temperature, and a layer of sweat oozed from his forehead.
With a dull "crack" sound, his protective aura shattered and two thick green vines pierced his body.
Lu Guangfeng's legs went limp and he fell down, his face full of resentment. The enemy was too strong and he had no ability to resist at all.
After a burst of screams, all the Lu family members fell in a pool of blood, and they won a great victory in the first battle.
If Han Changming had not directly taken action to break the formation, it would not have been so easy for Han Duanrong and others to kill the Lu family members.
There are hundreds of peach trees planted on the island, with tens of thousands of peaches alone. They can be used to brew peach wine and make elixirs. The peach trees can be transplanted back to Huludao.
"You guys clean up the battlefield, and the rest of you follow me to transplant the peach trees and pick the peaches."
Han Duanrong gave the order, and the other tribesmen responded one after another, each doing their own job.
A white cloud hundreds of feet in size floated in the sky. Han Changming stood on the white cloud with an indifferent expression.
The incident happened suddenly, and the Lu family could not possibly gather many masters. Han Changming divided his troops into three groups, and each of them led a team to attack the island controlled by the Lu family. Of course, they were not very far apart, so even if they encountered a Jindan cultivator, they could quickly join up.
After a cup of tea, Han Duanrong brought her tribesmen back to Han Changming, and everyone had a big smile on their face.
This time they made a fortune. They moved hundreds of magical peach trees, all of which were over two hundred years old, and picked all the magical peaches.
"Duanrong, why do you have so many spiritual peach trees left?"
Han Changming pointed at the spiritual peach tree below and asked.
"Grandfather, leave a way out for everything so that we can meet again in the future. We are not going to destroy the Lu family. We just need to take away the most valuable ones. If we burn all the peach trees, the loss to the Lu family will be too great. They might do something stupid. Besides, speed is of the essence in war. If we want to move all the peach trees, it will take a lot of time and affect our march time."
Han Duanrong said slowly.
Han Changming smiled slightly and asked, "Did I say that the Lu family would not be destroyed?"
"If Grandfather wanted to destroy the Lu family, Grandmother would not have separated from you. We should go straight to Huanglong. The Lu family is an old-established force in the Red Algae Sea with a deep foundation. It is too difficult to destroy the Lu family, but it is no problem to bite off a few pieces of fat meat."
Han Duanrong analyzed carefully.
Han Changming showed an approving look on his face and taught: "That's right, think twice before doing anything, think more and look more."
"Yes, my grandson will remember my grandfather's teachings."
Han Duanrong agreed with a respectful look.
Two white clouds flew over from a distance, they were Ye Xin and Ye Xue.
"Let's go! Collect more immortal cultivation resources, this war won't drag on for too long."
Han Changming waved his sleeves, and the white cloud under him flew high into the sky.

Black Crow Island, Lu family.
In the meeting room, Lu Tianyang and others were discussing countermeasures, and everyone looked very unhappy.
The Lu family asked for help from more than ten islands, and it is estimated that all the monks stationed on the islands were killed.
The Han family and Tinghai Pavilion joined forces, and the Lu family could not withstand it at all.
"The Taixu Sect was attacked by the Qingyun Sect, and they are not much better off. We can only rely on ourselves. Tell me what you think."
Lu Tianyang asked with a heavy tone.
"Strike the snake at its weakest point. The Han family will not have long to rise. In my opinion, we should mobilize a large force to attack Huludao and kill or severely injure the Han family's Jindan cultivators. The Han family will probably withdraw. If the Han family withdraws, Tinghai Pavilion will not be able to hold out for long."
"What if the Han family's Jindan cultivators are not in Huludao? According to reliable information, the Han family has at least eight Jindan cultivators. How many Jindan cultivators should we mobilize to severely damage the Han family? If too few Jindan cultivators go, we can't achieve the strategic goal. If too many go, it will easily give the enemy an opportunity to take advantage. I suggest withdrawing all the personnel, ceding some territory and interests, and withdrawing the troops first."
"If they don't even fight, the Han family and Tinghai Pavilion will be even less willing to withdraw. We must hurt them and teach them a lesson before they are willing to withdraw."
······
The elders of the Lu family expressed their opinions one after another, and what they said made sense.
"We have suffered heavy losses in the open sea. We cannot afford any more casualties. Give orders to withdraw all personnel and defend the four large islands. Take away the valuables on the islands if you can, and leave them to them if you can't! They are joining forces to deal with our Lu family. In the end, they are just after money."
Lu Tianyang gave instructions. This time was different from the past. Many elite disciples of the Lu family were killed or injured. With two Jindan cultivators missing at once, the Lu family did not have the confidence to fight one against two.
The Han family rose too quickly and they don't have much wealth. Mobilizing manpower to attack the Han family will not gain much benefit, but the old nest will be at risk of falling. In this case, it is better to defend the old nest and wait for the enemy to come.
Others have no objection, this is the most stable approach.
······
Qingyun Sect, a small courtyard with green tiles.
A Qingyun Sect disciple fell in a pool of blood, and Lin Xuan and Liu Hongxue stood not far away.
This disciple had long been bribed by the Lu family. They had discovered this traitor long ago, but they kept him around and he came in handy this time.
After the message was delivered, this disciple was no longer of any use, so he naturally had to be killed.
In the future, if news spreads from the Lu family and someone from the Qingyun Sect reports it to them, the witness is already dead and there will be no evidence to prove the crime.
The Qingyun Sect cooperates with the Tinghai Pavilion and the Han family because of interests, but there are no eternal enemies or eternal friends. The power of the Han family and the Tinghai Pavilion is growing stronger, and the Qingyun Sect has already taken precautions.
"Calculating the time, I heard that Haige and the Han family have already started to attack the Lu family. The Lu family probably suffered a number of casualties. It makes sense to be on guard. I wonder if we can inflict casualties on one or two Jindan cultivators from the Han family."
Lin Xuan said slowly, his tone heavy.
"If the Lu family mobilizes a large force to attack Huludao, it is estimated that it is possible to severely damage the Han family. However, the Han family has risen too quickly and does not have many resources for cultivating immortals. If the Lu family does this, it will lead to a lack of defense and give Tinghai Pavilion a chance. According to my understanding of Lu Tianyang, he will most likely withdraw all his forces and defend the four major islands. The cost of training a foundation-building cultivator is not low. If too many foundation-building cultivators are killed or injured, the Lu family's inheritance may be interrupted."
Liu Hongxue analyzed objectively.
"That's fine. The number of Jindan cultivators in the Han family far exceeds that of our Qingyun Sect. If we leave the Han family alone, they will become a big problem in the future."
Lin Xuan frowned and said that having a powerful neighbor indirectly affects the interests of Qingyun Sect.
"The Han family has obtained a great opportunity in the outer sea, otherwise there wouldn't be so many Jindan cultivators. Opportunities are unpredictable. As long as there are no Yuanying cultivators in the Han family, there will be no problem in the short term. Just practice with peace of mind!"
Liu Hongxue reminded that strength is respected in the world of immortal cultivation. They were just playing some tricks this time. In the final analysis, it was still strength that mattered.
Lin Xuan nodded and said, "I plan to practice in seclusion and strive for the late Jindan stage. I'll leave the sect's affairs to Uncle Liu."
The outer seas are rich in resources for cultivating immortals, and the cultivation level of the middle stage of the Jindan stage is simply not enough.
It has not been long since he entered the middle stage of Jindan. Without the help of elixirs, it would take him at least sixty years to enter the late stage of Jindan. This is the case without any bottleneck. If there is a bottleneck, it will take even longer.
······
An island over a hundred miles in size with dense vegetation and many buildings can be seen on the island.
In a vast courtyard, Han Changming and dozens of other cultivators were standing in the courtyard.
"This is strange. There are no cultivators stationed on more than a dozen islands. It seems that the Lu family has reduced its manpower and strengthened its defense."
Ye Xin analyzed that after they captured more than ten islands, they never encountered any members of the Lu family again. Along the way, there were no cultivators stationed on the islands they encountered. This was obviously intentional by the Lu family.
"That's good. It saves us trouble. Duan Rong and the others have almost finished their training. Let's go to Black Crow Island. I want to see what magical powers the Jindan cultivators of the Lu family have."
Han Changming showed an interested expression on his face. He wanted to see the gap between himself and the veteran Jindan cultivator of the Lu family.
He made a hand gesture and countless blue spots of light emerged from under him, transforming into a white cloud hundreds of feet in size, carrying them high into the sky.
After a while, they disappeared into the horizon.
······
Black Eagle Island is one of the four large islands controlled by the Lu family. It is 1,300 miles long and 700 miles wide. Lu Tianbing is in charge of this island. There are hundreds of cultivators on the island, including more than a hundred foundation-building cultivators, most of whom are from other families.
The Lu family's affiliated forces also retreated to Heidiao Island. These forces brought their families with them and had a large number of people, making them a considerable force.
In the meeting room, Lu Tianbing was gathering his clansmen to discuss strategies to repel the enemy.
They abandoned the outer islands, strengthened the defense of Black Eagle Island, and set up multiple third-level formations.
"Grandfather, according to your instructions, we have deployed several sets of third-order formations to resist..."
Before the Lu family member could finish his words, a deafening roar sounded, the entire conference hall shook violently, and the alarm rang out.
Lu Tianbing frowned and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the enemy has come to our door. Come with me to take a look."
She strode out, and the Lu family members quickly followed.
An extremely huge white cloud floated in the sky. Dozens of cultivators including Han Changming stood in the sky. Han Duanrong and others cast spells to attack the Black Eagle Island.
Han Duanrong and the other fifteen foundation-building cultivators each held a scarlet flag in their hands and waved it wildly. Sparks of fire appeared in the void and transformed into a huge scarlet fire cloud that floated in the sky, emitting astonishing heat waves.
The red fire cloud rolled and surged like boiling water, and red fireballs fell and hit the Black Eagle Island.
A black light curtain covered the Black Eagle Island. Red fireballs hit the black light curtain one after another, causing ripples like water waves. The red fireballs disappeared without a trace like mud in the sea, as if they had never appeared.
Ye Xue pinched her fingers and countless blue lights emerged from the void, transforming into a huge water ball with a diameter of three hundred feet, floating in the sky.
Ye Xin held the Xuanbing Banner in her hand and shook it gently. A billowing cold air swept out and hit the huge water ball. The huge water ball turned into a huge white ice ball, emitting an astonishing chill.
The white ice ball quickly smashed towards the black light curtain below. With a dull "bang", the white ice ball hit the black light curtain, and the black light curtain suddenly sank, but soon the black light curtain returned to normal.
Ye Xin and Ye Xue looked at each other, nodded to each other, and with a pinch of magic, the sea water exploded instantly. Dozens of thick blue water columns shot up into the sky and attacked Black Diao Island from all directions.
With muffled "bang bang" sounds, more than a dozen thick blue water jets hit the black light curtain one after another and bounced back, but the black light curtain did not move at all.
Han Changming frowned slightly. He practiced earth-attributed martial arts, so he had no advantage in fighting in the sea. However, Ye Xin and Ye Xue could still have some advantages in fighting.
At this moment, a beam of light flew out from the black light curtain. It was Lu Tianbing.
Seeing Han Changming and his wife and the other two, Lu Tianbing was stunned. After not seeing him for many years, she did not expect that Han Changming had advanced to the late stage of Jindan.
"Friend Han, are you guys going to fight to the death? Do you really think our Lu family is easy to bully?"
Lu Tian said with a cold face and an indifferent look.
"Han has never said that. I heard that Madam Lu is very knowledgeable in Taoism. I wonder if Madam Lu is willing to teach me?"
Han Changming asked with a smile. If conditions permit, he will kill Lu Tianbing. Since they have already fallen out, there is no need to worry about anything.
Lu Tianbing frowned. She was a third-rank alchemist and quite powerful, but she was not arrogant enough to fight three people alone.
At this moment, a majestic male voice suddenly sounded: "Friend Han, do you want to spar with me? I will accompany you to the end."
A beam of light flew out from the black light curtain. It was Lu Tianyang.
With three Jindan cultivators approaching, Lu Tianbing could not handle it alone.
"It's so lively! I didn't expect that Fellow Daoist Han and Fellow Daoist Lu are here."
A teasing female voice suddenly sounded, and a white flying boat came flying from a distance. It was Lu Yun and others.
They had originally planned to meet up at Black Crow Island, but the Lu family had withdrawn a large number of personnel, so they had a smooth journey. Before they got close to Black Crow Island, they encountered Han Changming and Lu Tianyang confronting each other.
Lu Tianyang's expression became solemn. Five Jindan cultivators were a considerable force. If things went wrong, the Lu family would be in danger of being exterminated.
"Humph, the majority bullying the minority? Do you really think our Lu family is easy to bully?"
Lu Tianyang slapped a spirit beast bag on his waist, a loud bird cry sounded, and a silver light flew out from it. It was a giant golden eagle with a wingspan of more than ten feet. The golden eagle's eyes were silver-white, and its body was filled with a large number of golden electric arcs.
This top-grade third-grade golden thunder eagle is proficient in wind and thunder spells. It is the Lu family's guardian bird.
Lu Tianbing shook his sleeves, and a green metal sphere flew out. After he entered a spell, it transformed into a giant green python with four wings on its back. Under the sunlight, it reflected a metallic luster. It was a third-grade, top-quality puppet beast.
The Lu family has been passed down for thousands of years and has a profound heritage, which is far beyond the comparison of the Huludao Han family.
