After hearing Xu San's words, Lu Yin and Starsibyl looked at each other in shock.
Ling Que was infuriated. "You bastard! Didn't you just say that you don't know when the Three Skies will appear?"
Xu San rolled his eyes. "Maybe … maybe … he doesn't understand?"
Lu Yin asked in a low voice, "Will Shang Rong or Zhiyi be the one to convene this pre-war mobilization meeting?"
Xu San shook his head. "I'm not sure, but it's most likely Zhiyi. She's one of the Daosource Three Skies, and it's said that she's most adept at strategizing rather than fighting. Lil 'Fragrance said that Zhiyi has been obsessed with military formations ever since she was a child, and that she's fond of strategizing. She's also very talented in strategy, and this Magnetic Pole Battle is very important, so it's not strange for her to appear here."
Starsibyl's gaze turned cold. "You just said that you don't understand the Daosource Three Skies."
Lu Yin glared at Starsibyl. "Let her speak."
Starsibyl looked away.
Xu San swallowed his saliva. "There are some things that can't be said too much. You can only understand."
"Cut the crap. You're saying that one of the Daosource Three Skies, Zhiyi, will appear and command the battle for the magnetic pole. She'll even personally participate, right?"
Xu San rolled his eyes and carefully looked around. "That's what you guessed. I didn't say anything."
No one knew how powerful the Daosource Three Skies were, but what was even more troublesome was that this woman was a strategist. Lu Yin had experienced firsthand how difficult it was to deal with a strategist. The Great Eastern Alliance had an obvious advantage over Armament Weave, and logically speaking, they should have been able to crush Armament Weave. However, Wei Rong had managed to drag things out for two years. Wang Wen was overseeing Ironblood Weave, and he had become the number one person in the Astral Beast Domain who had to be killed. This was the might of a strategist.
This kind of person was several times more powerful than those who only cultivated. They were also more difficult to deal with because they were too smart.
Why did he run into people like this everywhere he went?
Lu Yin felt helpless.
"Bring us to the pre-battle mobilization meeting," Starsibyl said.
Xu San blinked. "I've said everything that needs to be said."
Starsibyl looked at him. "I don't want to repeat myself."
"We won't be discovered, right?" Ling Que asked uneasily.
Starsibyl's eyes flickered. "Not at all. There will be quite a few people attending this meeting. As long as we don't attract too much attention, we won't be discovered. My divination results are very good."
Lu Yin glanced at her from the corner of his eyes.
Xu San looked at Lu Yin pleadingly, "Boss."
Lu Yin looked at Starsibyl, who replied, "Starlight Island is surrounded on all sides, and it will be very difficult for us to escape. We'll have to participate in the pre-war mobilization meeting and the battle for the magnetic pole."
That made sense. Lu Yin sighed and looked at Xu San. "One last favor. Help me to the end."
Xu San wanted to cry. His current life was not easy to come by and he had suffered a lot. If these three people were found out that he was the one who brought them in, he reckoned that Ancestor Lingtong would skin him alive. He did not dare to do so.
Ling Que approached him and threatened him in a low voice. "If you don't want to bring us along, we can go there ourselves. We can peel off the skin on your face and make a mask out of it. Hehehe."
Xu San was both angry and scared.
Lu Yin had no other choice. The Sixth Mainland had left the younger generation on Starlight Island, and the older powerhouses would definitely be at the rear. It would be impossible for them to escape, and the front would be the frontlines of the battle. Thus, it would be impossible for them to escape. Their only option was to join the battle for the magnetic pole. Besides, he also wanted to see how terrifying the so-called Daosource Three Skies were.
Actually, Lu Yin was not worried about the Daosource Three Skies or the Realmlings. He could even fight against an Imprinter, so no matter how powerful the Daosource Three Skies were, they would not be able to surpass an Imprinter.
Faced with this threat, Xu San had no other choice but to agree to bring the three of them to join the pre-war mobilization meeting.
The pre-war mobilization meeting was just a euphemism, as it was actually a gathering of Starlight Island's younger elites. Youths were always competitive and had all sorts of conflicts of interest. Some wanted to show their faces in front of the Daosource Three Skies, especially since one of the three Daosource Three Skies was a woman. This made many people even more jealous.
In order to prevent Xu San from betraying them, Starsibyl had given him a few tricks to ensure that Xu San would not betray them.
Xu San had already accepted his fate, and even the Sixth Mainland's cultivators who had been knocked unconscious woke up. Xu San easily took care of them and brought the three of them to another island outside of Starlight Island.
Of the three, Lu Yin and Ling Que were nothing special. It was just that Starsibyl was too beautiful and easily attracted attention.
However, Starsibyl's methods were strange. Lu Yin did not know what she had done, but her face was still the same, but it was no longer breathtakingly beautiful. At first glance, she did not seem very beautiful, and the more one looked at her, the more ordinary she seemed.
Lu Yin was truly shocked by this woman's methods, and he was suddenly very curious about the Starsibyl Sect. If he had the time, he would definitely go and take a look.
Divination was already very mysterious, and with the addition of all sorts of strange methods, the Starsibyl Sect was becoming more and more attractive to him.
The only thing that worried the three of them was Ya Ya. The girl had pretended to be strong and naively lied about waiting for her parents to return. Her naivety was pitiful.
Regardless of whether it was Lu Yin, Ling Que, or Starsibyl, they all decided that if possible, they would come back and take the girl away. Living alone on Starlight Island, even if she had to rely on her parents' wealth to survive, was still very lonely. The difficulties she would face were unimaginable.
The surface of the sea was very calm, and cultivators passed by from time to time. When they saw Xu San, they bowed respectfully.
Up until now, most of the Sixth Mainland's cultivators had been in the ruins of the Daosource Sect or at the border warfront. Those who had been able to exchange blows with him had been at Autumnfrost Qing's level. Thus, the cultivators that Lu Yin had seen were all considered to be in the upper echelons of the Sixth Mainland. However, on this mainland, most of the cultivators were still at the bottom.
The group walked along the surface of the sea, and every cultivator that they encountered bowed to Xu San. These people were all at the bottom of the hierarchy, and there were at least a thousand of them. None of them were at the level of an aristocratic family's young master, Old Sixteen.
The higher one stood, the further one could see. Most of the people that one could see were those who were standing at a higher level. This was a matter of one's level and perspective.
Lu Yin stood behind the palanquin with Ling Que and Starsibyl beside him. The old Enlighter who had been protecting Xu San glanced at them from time to time, but he did not say anything. Xu San had already dealt with the old man.
Old Sixteen was still flattering Xu San, but Xu San was no longer as happy as he had been before. This made Old Sixteen very confused.
Although Old Sixteen was ranked 16th in the Lingtong Clan, he was definitely not weak. He was not much weaker than the Lingtong Clan's young matriarch and could be considered an elite among elites. In terms of strength, he could be ranked at the very top of the Innerverse's Top 100 Rankings. He had his own pride, just like how he had been slapped on the surface of the sea. However, he wanted to improve himself, which was why he had been so humble.
Thunder crackled in the sky, and Xu San was annoyed by it. Lu Yin and the other two behind him were also irritating him, so he decided to just bury himself.
Old Sixteen was bewildered, as he did not know what was wrong with this guy.
Not too far away from Xu San's group, two strange figures slowly walked along the surface of the sea. No matter how one looked at them, one could see how strange they were. One was fat, and the other was thin. The thin one looked like the fat one's arm.
Many people around them saw these two, and some were either afraid or amused. However, no one spoke up, and some even showed disgusted expressions.
"The thunder in the sky is too loud, and it's a little scary. Fat Bro, are you scared?"
"No, we're not even afraid of the Realmlings, so why would we be afraid of mere thunder?
Skinny Bro, are you scared? "
"A little."
"Actually, I'm a little scared too."
"Fat Bro, you have to protect me."
"Don't worry, Skinny Bro. We'll be brothers forever, and Fat Bro will be your shield."
"Thank you, Fat Bro. Right, Fat Bro, you've gotten fatter recently."
"Really?
Hahahaha, thank you, Skinny Bro. Actually, you've gotten thinner as well. "
"Really?
Thank you, Fat Bro. We're brothers. "
"Brothers forever."
…
As the fat and thin duo approached, Xu San's group overheard their conversation.
Lu Yin had a strange look on his face. What was going on?
Xu San looked up and saw the fat and thin duo. He rolled his eyes. "The Blue Transformation Idiots."
Ling Que moved closer to Lu Yin's ear. "These two look like idiots, but I think the thin one looks a lot like Mu Rong."
Lu Yin glanced at him. "You have a lot of resentment towards Mu Rong."
Ling Que sneered, but he did not say anything else. He would never forget the grudge he had with the support group.
"Hey, Fat Bro, look! Isn't that Perverted Xu?" The voices in the distance grew louder, as if they were afraid that Xu San's group would not hear them.
"Yeah, Perverted Xu is here as well."
Xu San was furious. "Blue Transformation Idiots, I didn't do anything to offend you."
"Haha, Fat Bro, Perverted Xu has spoken, and he looks even more perverted."
"Skinny Bro, we can't insult others. They're already so perverted, so let's not add more scars to their hearts. Come, apologize."
"Oh, okay. Sorry, Perverted Xu. We shouldn't have spoken the truth."
"Yeah, Perverted Xu. Speaking the truth is our weakness, and we'll change it. Actually, you don't look that perverted. You're just a little awkward."
"Fat Bro, you're being so reserved. Does he even understand?"
"Maybe he really doesn't understand. He looks like this, but his IQ isn't that high either."
…
The group watched the fat and thin duo leave with a strange look on their faces. The duo had been talking the entire time, and they had not given anyone a chance to interrupt.
Even Xu San couldn't retort.
Ling Que looked at their backs with admiration, and he thought back to the Sixth Mainland's cultivator that he had once threatened to kill. That was his glory, but unfortunately, he had never been able to do it again.
Xu San was so angry that his entire body trembled, but he could not do anything about those two. The fat and thin duo looked foolish, but if he really thought that they were foolish, then he would be the unlucky one. Individually, these two fellows were not very powerful, but when they worked together, even the Realmlings had to be cautious.
"Ptui, how unlucky." Xu San glared at the fat and thin duo's backs.
Starlight Island was not just a single island, and the thunderstorm zone was boundless. There were dozens of islands around Starlight Island, and the mobilization meeting was being held on one of these islands. The closer they got to the island, the more people there were, and all of them were youths.
Many of them greeted Xu San, and it was obvious that their statuses were not low.
Although it was impossible to determine the strength of these people based on their rune lines, the Sixth Mainland's cultivators had a clear hierarchy. The stronger a power, the higher their status. Or rather, the higher their status, the more powerful they were. This was because a large portion of these cultivators' strength came from their imprints. The stronger their imprint, the more powerful they were, and the strength of an imprint represented the power they belonged to.
Because Xu San was leading the way, no one checked their identities, and they were able to smoothly sneak in. As for the people protecting Xu San, they remained outside the island.
