Chapter 77 – Ghost Island
Because of the short distance, Qinghan didn’t feel as uncomfortable as the first time he had been teleported. Within the blink of an eye, the view in front of him drastically changed.
They arrived at the foot of a mountain, in front of which lay a vast prairie, and a small river. Beside the river, there was a bunch of buffaloes, gulfing with their head plunged into the water. The prairie, full of verdant green, was strewed with unknown wild flowers. This breath-taking scenery on Ghost Island slowed everyone’s pace.
“Hey, everyone!” Long Sainan interrupted by pointing her hand toward the mountain, “The first and foremost thing right now, is to move to our temporary camp. Later, I’ll have a meeting with you guys, in which I’ll introduce you to the general situation of Ghost Island. Does everyone agree?”
“I… agree!” Qingcheng nodded her head, while stealing a glance at Qinghan.
“I also agree!” Qinghan echoed.
As the first placed on the Mortal Ranking List, and also as a cultivator at the peak level of the Realm of the Prince, Sainan enjoyed the undeniable highest status among the young lords and their elite teams. Back in the Mars Prefecture, rumors had it that Sainan lived up to her reputation as a girl competent to surpass men. Her absolute ability, as well as her intelligence, would have men perspire from embarrassment. Furthermore, she had the access to a lot of top confidential information, due to her identity as the daughter of Long Pifu. A pre-war meeting was necessary, and it would benefit them all if Sainan was willing to share information with them. Therefore, Qinghan agreed without the slightest hesitation.
“Agree!”
“Yeah, go ahead!”
Sainan’s proposal received absolute approval. It seemed, as if this more-excellent-than-a-men girl, had already gained high prestige among the young cultivators. Actually, two thirds of the population of this giant group was from the five prominent families and Dragon City. While the rest also had already established countless bonds with the five prominent families. Thus, Sainan’s popularity wasn’t all that surprising…
Eventually, they walked towards their temporary camp, which was located halfway up the mountain. It was said that this camp was specially established for the accommodation of people from the Mars Prefecture. Inside the camp, numerous bamboo-made houses were plainly structured. After several times of renovation, countless lookout posts had been added, which surrounded the bamboo houses. Also, in order to ensure the safety of the people living here, numerous alarm equipment had been set up in case of an emergency.
“Team One guards us from any possible emergencies; Team Two and Team Three, clean the rooms; Team Four and Team Five, set up a pot and prepare food.” Like a commander-in-chief, Sainan separated her team into five sub-groups, and gave each of them a task. Quickly, her team members started to diligently perform their given task.
In total, Sainan had brought over 1,000 people from Dragon City. Apparently, Sainan didn’t let the others, those from the five prominent families, to do the chores. Instead, they decided to rest, for they didn’t want to put a cat among the pigeons.
With the coordinated efforts of the over 1,000 people, the temporary camp was cleared up within half an hour. Each captain of their respective elite team had properly allocated rooms for their members. After that, some family representatives, together with the heads of the teams, followed Sainan to the assembly chamber.
The so-called assembly chamber was actually another bamboo house, the only difference was that it was slightly larger than the others. Sitting on the wooden chairs, they began convening their first pre-war meeting.
“Ok, let’s begin. After this meeting, it depends on you to leave or stay.” Without any formalities, Sainan directly cut to the point, “First of all, I’ve decided, as per common practice, to use this temporary camp as our living space, and I will deploy one group of my elite team to patrol in the vicinity as guardians. Thus, our war participants can have a safe place to rest, heal their wounds, and cultivate! Of course, starting tomorrow, you have to prepare your own food! Please, don’t disappoint your ancestors and give up, be brave in this war! I hope that all of the elite teams will fight against the invaders, should our camp be raided.
