Upon seeing the Snow Spirit Fox place the Spotted Snake's Snake Gallbladder in its hand, Shadowless tilted his head back, opened his mouth, and swallowed the Snake Gallbladder whole. After finishing, he licked his lips, as if savoring the deliciousness of the Snake Gallbladder, still wanting more.
However, Luo Bingbing nearly lost her meal at the sight of his lip-licking expression. The Snow Spirit Fox remained calm, standing quietly to one side without any reaction.
Noticing that Shadowless had consumed the Spotted Snake's Snake Gallbladder, Luo Bingbing turned to the little fox on the ground and said, "Little one, you smell terrible right now. You should hurry and find a water source nearby to clean yourself up."
After hearing Luo Bingbing's words, the Snow Spirit Fox slightly shook its little head and quickly turned to run forward. In just a few blinks, its figure disappeared from Luo Bingbing and Shadowless's sight.
Seeing the Snow Spirit Fox vanish, Luo Bingbing turned to Shadowless and said, "Shadow, let's hurry inside!"
Upon hearing Luo Bingbing's words, Shadowless slowly crouched down and lifted her into his arms. Using his Lightness Skill, he swiftly made his way toward their camp.
The Snow Spirit Fox dashed out of the small tunnel and began searching for a water source nearby. Before long, it indeed found a small stream in the mountains.
Without hesitation, it jumped into the stream. Since the water was shallow in some places and it couldn't get completely clean, it continued upstream. While playing in the water, it chased and frolicked with the little fish in the stream, having a wonderful time.
This forest was initially very quiet but became lively with the arrival of the Snow Spirit Fox. As it played and chased in the stream, it naturally created quite a commotion.
The forest was home to assassins who had crawled out from piles of corpses; their observational skills were naturally sharp. They quickly noticed a pure white little fox in the mountain stream.
Although they had never seen a Snow Spirit Fox before, having been in the martial world for so long meant they had certainly heard of the Snow Spirit Fox from Spirit Mountain! Realizing they had stumbled upon a treasure, they cautiously approached the Snow Spirit Fox.
But who was the Snow Spirit Fox? It was the guardian treasure of Spirit Mountain, a legendary Spirit Artifact. It had sensed danger in the air long before but ignored it until it realized that danger was slowly closing in on it. It quickly leaped out of the stream and dashed into the forest. As it ran, those assassins naturally pursued closely behind.
Gradually, more people joined in chasing after the Snow Spirit Fox. However, after playing for a while, the Snow Spirit Fox grew tired of their game. It sniffed around and followed its own scent back along its path to find Luo Bingbing.
As soon as it took off running, those assassins chased right after it. Therefore, when Luo Bingbing and Shadowless emerged from the exit of the small tunnel, they saw the Snow Spirit Fox rushing toward them while those assassins were hot on its heels. But when those assassins spotted Luo Bingbing and Shadowless, they all quickly halted their steps at that scene.
Their footsteps came to a halt, but their gazes still followed the figure of the Snow Spirit Fox. When they saw the Snow Spirit Fox leap onto her shoulder, their expressions were quite remarkable. Some were surprised, some were stunned, and others frowned. Yet, they all uniformly knelt on one knee and greeted her in unison.
"Greetings, Master. We welcome you back to the camp."
After they finished their greetings, Luo Bingbing waved her hand to signal them to rise and slowly asked, "Why were you chasing my little fox just now? Were you trying to hunt my little fox?"
The assassins were taken aback by Luo Bingbing's question and felt a wave of fear. They were surprised because this snow-white little fox was clearly the Snow Spirit Fox from Spirit Mountain; how could it be with this Young Mistress and appear so close to her? They were afraid because they had just chased after the Snow Spirit Fox, intending to capture it, and wondered if Luo Bingbing was angry and would take action against them.
Although their thoughts were numerous and varied, they all shared one common doubt: they wondered if this Little One was truly from Spirit Mountain. The Snow Spirit Fox was the treasure of Spirit Mountain; why had it come here and become so close to her? As everyone pondered in confusion, no one stepped forward to answer Luo Bingbing's question.
Seeing that no one spoke or answered her question, Luo Bingbing raised an eyebrow and asked again, "What? Are you all mute?"
As her clear yet youthful voice echoed in their ears again, their thoughts snapped back to reality. They exchanged glances until finally, an older assassin stepped forward to answer Luo Bingbing's question.
"Reporting to you, Master, we truly did not know that the snow-white little fox was your pet. It resembles the Snow Spirit Fox from Spirit Mountain so closely that we mistakenly thought it was the treasure of Spirit Mountain—the Snow Spirit Fox—which led to what you saw earlier." He paused slightly before continuing, "Had we known it was your pet, we would never have dared to offend it."
After hearing his words, Luo Bingbing nodded slightly and said calmly, "You may disperse now. Return to the camp; I want to see what results you have achieved this month."
Upon hearing Luo Bingbing's words, the assassins quickly replied in unison, "Yes." With that, they swiftly turned around and hurried back to their camp.
Shadowless also held onto Luo Bingbing as they quickly made their way back to their camp. However, he soon caught up with them and floated over their heads, so ultimately Shadowless and Luo Bingbing returned to the camp first.
Once Luo Bingbing and Shadowless arrived at the training ground of the camp and waited for a while, the assassins began returning one after another.
Seeing that everyone had returned, Shadowless approached Luo Bingbing and said, "Master, everyone is here; they have all returned."
Luo Bingbing responded lightly, "Hmm, then let's begin!" With that, she swiftly leaped onto a nearby wooden post.
She stood on the wooden platform and looked at the crowd below, then spoke loudly, "I know you are all afraid of me. But why are you afraid? Simply put, it is because you are weaker than I am. Conversely, that means I must be stronger than you. Therefore, you must continuously strive to improve and grow stronger in order to escape the fate of being weak."
At this point, Luo Bingbing paused slightly, glanced at the crowd below, and continued, "You should all understand that the survival rule of the strong prevailing over the weak is an unchanging truth throughout history. I have only one question: do you want to become stronger?"
Hearing Luo Bingbing's words, the assassins below responded in unison, "We wish to become stronger and to be powerful. Please guide us, Master."
Upon hearing their response, Luo Bingbing nodded slightly and said slowly, "Alright, now I will see the results of your month-long training. You will come up one by one. Anyone who can withstand ten moves from me will pass. Conversely, those who cannot withstand ten moves will not pass and will need further training. Who will go first?"
As soon as Luo Bingbing finished speaking, a slender man dressed in purple stepped forward and said to her, "I will go first and ask for your guidance."
Seeing someone step up, Luo Bingbing carefully observed him. He had dark eyebrows like mountains and eyes like silk; beneath his long eyelashes were ink-black pupils resembling a thousand-year-old mirror lake. However, the expression in his eyes was exceptionally cold and fierce, like accumulated ice from millennia.
Beneath his high nose were red lips like roses, with a distinct beauty mark on his lower lip.
After sizing him up, Luo Bingbing asked casually, "What is your name?"
Hearing her question, he raised his head seriously to look at the figure on the wooden platform and replied loudly, "Reporting to you, my name is Wuyang."
Upon hearing his answer, Luo Bingbing couldn't help but think to herself: "Wuyang? With so much earth in his name, it really is a strange name. No wonder he looks so peculiar."
Speaking of peculiarities, Luo Bingbing secretly activated her Inner Strength and used her Ability to delve into his mind and explore his memories. She saw that Wuyang was originally a prince of Hao Tian. However, due to an incident involving his mother that greatly angered his father, the merciless emperor ordered their execution. Thus began their life on the run. They escaped while being pursued relentlessly. The days of fleeing were extremely difficult; his mother eventually fell ill and passed away during their escape. Later on, he was taken in by members of the Assassin Alliance and began his career as an assassin.
Luo Bingbing skimmed through his memories without delving deeper. If she had taken a serious look inside,
the subsequent tragedy would not have occurred.
Having casually glanced through them without taking them to heart, she immediately said, "Come up."
After Wuyang stepped onto the wooden post opposite Luo Bingbing, she calmly said, "Let's begin! If you don't fall within ten moves, you pass."
"Yes, Master. Please guide me. I apologize for my rudeness," he replied, and immediately launched a fierce attack at Luo Bingbing.
Seeing him attack so aggressively, Luo Bingbing was not angry; instead, she was quite pleased. She thought he was a good candidate—bold and decisive, a real talent.
As she swiftly dodged Wuyang's attacks, she countered with a surprise strike from the side. Wuyang quickly sidestepped, but before he could regain his balance, Luo Bingbing's attack came again, forcing him to evade once more.
Back and forth they went, and after ten moves, Wuyang narrowly managed to get through Luo Bingbing's onslaught. Thus, he had passed the test.
Luo Bingbing was quite casual about it and only used a fraction of her power to assess Wuyang. On the surface, he appeared calm and composed, but inside he felt a bit nervous. He had intentionally concealed his abilities while in the Assassin Alliance, remaining relatively unknown.
He had held back in the Assassin Alliance because he felt it was unsafe there and wanted to keep some skills in reserve for self-preservation. As for any other reasons, only he knew. Now, he aimed to showcase himself to Luo Bingbing in hopes that she would recognize him and promote him.
While Luo Bingbing fought casually, Shadowless, standing off to the side, was very concerned. Although he knew his Young Mistress was incredibly capable and didn't need his protection, he couldn't help but worry as he watched Wuyang attack her fiercely. He feared for her safety and wished he could step in to check on the results of their training. After ten moves, Luo Bingbing finally stopped, prompting Wuyang to halt as well.
Luo Bingbing looked at Wuyang and slowly said, "Not bad. Congratulations! You passed."
Upon hearing her words, Wuyang felt a surge of excitement; he thought to himself that he had finally succeeded. He had pushed his power to its limits and even slightly beyond them. If they continued fighting, he would surely fall off the wooden post.
The onlookers saw that Wuyang had passed Luo Bingbing's test, which significantly boosted their previously faint confidence. With someone having succeeded, they felt encouraged and became more eager to test themselves.
Luo Bingbing calmly stated, "Next! Who's coming up?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a tall and imposing man dressed in black stepped forward and said, "Please guide me." With that, he leaped onto the wooden post.
Luo Bingbing glanced at him and slowly asked, "What is your name?"
Upon hearing Luo Bingbing's question, he quickly replied, "Reporting, my lord, I am called Iron Bull."
"Iron Bull? The name suits your physique," Luo Bingbing said lightly after hearing his response.
"Let's begin!"
Upon receiving Luo Bingbing's command, Iron Bull launched an attack. Although his figure was quite heavy, the small wooden stake did not break under his pressure, and his speed was surprisingly fast, with considerable strength behind his strikes.
However, he was not as skilled as Wuyang. Several times, he nearly got kicked off the wooden stake by Luo Bingbing, but fortunately, he reacted in time and used his Lightness Skill to rebound back up. They exchanged blows back and forth, quickly going through seven or eight moves. Everyone thought that Iron Bull had managed to last through so many moves and would surely pass Luo Bingbing's test.
But during the ninth move, he stepped into thin air just as Luo Bingbing's attack came in, resulting in him falling down quite honorably. However, the way he fell brought amusement to the crowd, allowing those assassins who had yet to start their tests to relax their tense moods slightly.
Everyone knew he had fallen before completing ten moves and that he had not passed Luo Bingbing's test. Yet, he provided a moment of comic relief that eased the atmosphere, so no one mocked him. Instead, he wore a silly grin on his face without any signs of disappointment.
With the crowd in a lighter mood, Luo Bingbing began testing the next assassin.
Time passed slowly; night had fallen, and the full moon hung high in the vast night sky. The twinkling stars continued to proclaim their existence to everyone below.
Luo Bingbing had tested over a hundred people at the Training Ground but had only assessed a third of those in the camp; two-thirds still awaited their turn!
However, very few had passed the test. Seeing this situation made Luo Bingbing furrow her brow slightly; she seemed reluctant to continue testing. Shadowless felt that his own progress was minimal in front of Luo Bingbing, and those under him had made even less improvement.
Yet seeing so many fail to pass her test weighed on Shadowless's heart; after all, these were individuals he had trained himself, and he felt quite guilty towards Luo Bingbing.
While Shadowless was lost in self-reproach, he heard Luo Bingbing's voice nearby. "Alright, today's testing ends here. Those who have yet to be tested do not need to worry; if you believe you can last thirty moves against Shadowless, feel free to challenge him. Those who come forward will be considered as having passed the test."
At this point, Luo Bingbing paused slightly to look at the assassins below before continuing slowly, "I know you have all put in effort over this past month; you are all very tired and have sweated a lot. However, the results are not very evident. Starting tomorrow, I will personally train you all. I hope you will not disappoint me again. Now disperse! Go rest well for tomorrow's special training."
As soon as Luo Bingbing's words fell, the assassins quickly responded, "We obey your command."
Luo Bingbing nodded slightly and called out, "Shadow, come here."
Upon hearing Luo Bingbing's words, Shadowless swiftly floated to her side using Lightness Skill. Once Luo Bingbing saw that Shadowless had arrived, she asked him to carry her to the room they had prepared for her to rest. Although it was called a room, it was actually a spacious cave, but it was well-equipped and no less comfortable than an inn outside.
Upon arriving at the cave, Luo Bingbing seemed to sense that Shadowless was feeling guilty. She looked at him and slowly said, "Shadow, you don't need to blame yourself. Even if the results aren't great, as long as you put in the effort and did your best, there will be no regrets. Besides, each of them has different talents; it's impossible to train them all to meet the standard." After pausing for a moment, she continued, "I will be training them here for the next few days. You should join me!"
After hearing Luo Bingbing's words, Shadowless felt his guilt dissipate. He gently nodded at her before swiftly disappearing. Don't think he went to sleep; he was merely hiding nearby to protect Luo Bingbing in secret.
When the assassins heard that Luo Bingbing would personally train them starting tomorrow, none of them dared to challenge Shadowless. They were well aware of his iron-fisted methods and certainly wouldn't voluntarily seek trouble.
After Shadowless left, Luo Bingbing sat down at the desk and listed out all the training methods she had learned from her previous life as a coach, along with techniques she knew for training special forces soldiers. She prepared these notes for tomorrow's training session with the assassins.
In the early morning, the birds had already gone out to forage. They flitted through the forest and chirped cheerfully as if welcoming the arrival of a new day.
At the training ground, the assassins had already lined up and were all focused on the entrance of the Training Ground without whispering among themselves.
After a while, Luo Bingbing and Shadowless finally appeared at the entrance of the Training Ground. Seeing them arrive, all the assassins spoke in unison, "We welcome our master’s arrival."
Luo Bingbing noticed their salute and nodded slightly before casually waving her hand and asking, "Is everyone here?"
Shadowless turned his gaze toward the assassin standing at the front. Receiving Shadowless's look, the assassin quickly replied, "Reporting to our master, everyone is present."
"Good. Now you will run fifty laps around this Training Ground without using internal energy or Lightness Skill; you can only rely on your own physical strength and endurance. After completing this task, come back for your next assignment." She then turned to Shadowless behind her and said, "Shadow, you are responsible for leading and supervising. Begin!"
"Yes, master." As soon as Shadowless finished speaking, he quickly ran in front of the assassins and shouted loudly, "Everyone follow me!" With that, he took off running first.
Luo Bingbing sat on the Carved Wooden Chair in the stands, squinting her eyes as she continued to catch up on sleep. She had stayed up late the night before organizing training plans, finally lying down to rest just as dawn was breaking.
Although those assassins had killed many people and endured hardships that most ordinary people could not bear, they had never experienced training like that of Luo Bingbing. As a result, some of them couldn't even complete fifty laps. However, none of them stopped; they persevered.
When they fell, they got back up and continued running. Those who truly couldn't run crawled on the ground until they had no strength left or fainted. In the end, only Shadowless and Wuyang persisted until the end, completing the task assigned by Luo Bingbing.
When Shadowless and Wuyang reached the finish line, Luo Bingbing slowly opened her eyes. Although her eyes were closed, her consciousness had been monitoring the assassins. Seeing that they had not given up and continued to push through, she felt a surge of joy in her heart, believing that her efforts from the night before were not in vain. With their tenacity, she was confident she could train them into the world's most elite assassination team.
Since Shadowless had been training alongside Luo Bingbing, fifty laps were a piece of cake for him. After finishing the fifty laps, he wasn't even out of breath. His performance astonished Wuyang, who stood beside him, earning his admiration.
After seeing that Shadowless had reached the finish line, Luo Bingbing called him over and instructed, "Shadow, let them rest for a bit before running another round this afternoon." With that said, she closed her eyes again to continue her nap.
In the afternoon, the assassins resumed running on the Training Ground. Surprisingly, this time all of them reached the finish line and completed their tasks. Therefore, Luo Bingbing instructed them to add another fifty laps. Since they had grasped the essentials of running by then, they all met Luo Bingbing's requirements once again.
After seeing them complete their assigned tasks, Luo Bingbing had each of them strap two thirty-pound sandbags to their calves and run another fifty laps around the Training Ground. They followed her orders and similarly met the standards after their second round of training.
At this point, Luo Bingbing had been at the camp for two days and wanted to personally train them for the next phase. She instructed them to attack her while she leaped into the center of the group to engage in practical combat training.
On the spacious Training Ground, Luo Bingbing stood atop a wooden post and announced loudly, "You don't need to hold back; attack me with all your strength. I won't go easy on you either. However, during this training session, you must rely on yourselves to grasp its essence."
As soon as Luo Bingbing finished speaking, Shadowless immediately interjected, "Master, that's not wise! What if you get hurt? Let me handle it!"
Upon hearing Shadowless's words, Luo Bingbing simply waved her hand slightly and replied, "Shadow, no need for further discussion; it's decided."
With that said, Luo Bingbing swiftly jumped into the center of the assassins and launched a fierce attack against them.
Initially hesitant to strike at Luo Bingbing, the group soon found themselves compelled to engage as she relentlessly attacked them and encouraged them to fight back. Given their nature as individuals who thrived on violence and bloodshed, their combative instincts were quickly ignited by Luo Bingbing's actions as they began launching fierce attacks against her.
Although they were numerous and taller than Luo Bingbing, all seasoned killers, they couldn't even touch the hem of her clothes, let alone injure her.
Wherever Luo Bingbing went, a large number of them fell. She simply used her skills to knock down those assassins, controlling her strength perfectly without being overly harsh. After taking down the surrounding enemies, she launched attacks towards areas where there were still people. Her speed was incredibly fast, and many lay on the ground.
Shadowless watched from the side. At first, he was quite worried about Luo Bingbing, but gradually, he became fascinated by her attacks and began to learn from her, forgetting all about her safety.
Meanwhile, Wuyang had been following Luo Bingbing from ten meters away, maintaining that distance without advancing or retreating. He missed the chance to intersect with her and stayed behind, learning from her skills while lurking in the shadows, searching for the perfect moment to strike and take her down.
However, after waiting for a long time without finding a suitable opportunity, he decided to create one himself. Quietly, he conspired with a few people nearby to launch a simultaneous fierce attack on Luo Bingbing from the front, left side, right side, and both sides behind her. Meanwhile, he stealthily positioned himself directly behind her to ambush.
He thought his plan was clever! But who was Luo Bingbing? There was no way someone of his caliber could defeat her!
As those assassins launched their fierce attacks on Luo Bingbing simultaneously, Wuyang quietly moved behind her. Seeing that he had successfully closed in on her made him very pleased; he thought he could take her down with one strike.
But before he could attack, Luo Bingbing seemed to have eyes in the back of her head. She quickly executed a 360-degree backflip and kicked Wuyang away. The assassins who had previously conspired with Wuyang to attack Luo Bingbing were stunned by this move and halted their assault.
Luo Bingbing smirked slightly, revealing a mischievous smile as she looked down at Wuyang lying on the ground. Calmly, she said, "To ambush me? You’re not worthy!" With that said, she continued attacking the others around her.
In truth, she had known all along that they wanted to ambush her; she simply ignored them at first and deliberately let Wuyang get close while feigning vulnerability before countering with a decisive blow. In the end, Luo Bingbing took down all the assassins in the Training Ground, including Wuyang.
After defeating all the assassins in the Training Ground, she elegantly brushed off some nonexistent dust from her clothes and swiftly returned to her designated lounge chair beside Shadowless. She slowly said, "Shadowless, let them disperse and reflect on the skills they just faced against me; let them learn as much as they can."
Shadowless had been lost in his thoughts until he heard Luo Bingbing's clear and youthful voice. Only then did he snap back to reality and realize that Little One had already taken down everyone in the arena and returned to his side.
Instantly regaining his focus upon hearing Luo Bingbing's words, Shadowless hurried into the arena and loudly conveyed her instructions to the assassins.
"Listen up! The master just said you should all disperse now and reflect on the skills you just faced against her; learn as much as you can!"
After hearing Shadowless's words, the group of assassins slowly stood up, cupped their hands in salute to Luo Bingbing, and then went off to comprehend their skills.
As soon as Shadowless finished speaking, he quickly turned and returned to Luo Bingbing's side. Upon seeing Shadowless come back, Luo Bingbing asked him to carry her back to their room to rest. Shadowless complied, carrying Luo Bingbing back to the cave, where he then concealed himself in the shadows, guarding her while his thoughts returned to the unfinished comprehension from earlier.
Due to Luo Bingbing's continuous activity and lack of sleep over the past few days, she fell asleep shortly after lying down.
Time always seems to pass quickly during sleep. When Luo Bingbing woke up, it was already the next morning. She had slept particularly well this time; it was the most restful sleep she had experienced since arriving here, and she woke up naturally.
Seeing that Luo Bingbing was awake, Shadowless brought in the washing supplies. After she finished washing up, they both headed to the Training Ground together.
Before they even reached the Training Ground, Luo Bingbing could hear the sounds of training from a distance. As they got closer, she saw that everyone had not only strapped sandbags to their calves but also on their arms and backs. They were currently running around the Training Ground according to the methods she had taught them!
Seeing their enthusiasm and hard work made Luo Bingbing very happy; a slight smile appeared on her lips.
When the assassins noticed Luo Bingbing and Shadowless arriving, they quickly stopped and greeted them respectfully.
Luo Bingbing nodded slightly and said slowly, "Today's training is for you to find opponents among yourselves and spar with each other, seeking breakthroughs through practice."
Upon hearing Luo Bingbing's words, the assassins quickly replied in unison, "Yes, Master. We will do our best to complete it."
After stopping them from speaking further, Luo Bingbing waved her hand to signal that they could begin. The assassins hurriedly looked for matching opponents nearby to train with.
Seeing them dive into intense training, Luo Bingbing decided to leave Shadowless there to supervise while she returned to the cave. It had been several days since she arrived here without taking a bath, and now she felt uncomfortable. Using her ability to teleport to a hot spring would require her to teleport back afterward; the long distance would consume a lot of energy. Thus, she found it troublesome and wanted to leave this place quickly. However, before leaving, she needed to ensure that these people were properly arranged. So she hurried back to make arrangements and draft plans.
In her mind, she carefully considered how to arrange these individuals and how both she and they would develop in this world moving forward. After organizing her thoughts, she wrote them down.
Luo Bingbing realized that aside from being assassins, there were no other familiar professions for them. Suddenly, she thought about how large the Assassin Alliance used to be; surely there were many activities and bases outside that could be seized and transformed into her own dark influence.
With this evil factor in mind, Luo Bingbing immediately began to envision her dark forces and formulate a plan. She connected the chaotic thoughts swirling in her mind into a coherent line of reasoning, and she mapped out the future development for herself and the assassins.
First, she decided to form a sect called the "Dark Sect." The highest ruler of the Dark Sect would be the Dark Emperor, and that Dark Emperor would naturally be her, Luo Bingbing. Beneath the Dark Emperor would be two great Sovereigns; after some contemplation, she concluded that those two Sovereigns must be Shadowless and Wuyang. Under these two Sovereigns would be four Kings, whom Luo Bingbing decided to name the Eastern King, Southern King, Western King, and Northern King for ease of remembrance. However, she had yet to finalize the candidates for these positions. Below the four Kings would be the Five Great Envoys, who would represent Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth. The selection for these roles was still under consideration as well. Finally, there would be the lower-tier assassins.
Once the sect structure was established in her mind, Luo Bingbing thought about where to set up the headquarters. After staying in this location for a few days and finding it quite suitable and very discreet, she decided to establish the headquarters of the Dark Sect there.
With the internal structure planned out, Luo Bingbing turned her attention to external development. She thought that besides competing with the territories and businesses of the Assassin Alliance, her Dark Sect should also engage in various enterprises to increase revenue. For instance, brothels, taverns, and intelligence gathering were all lucrative industries. With this in mind, Luo Bingbing began jotting down some modern business strategies.
Time flew by as she busied herself with these plans. When she finally finished, she noticed that it was already late. Listening carefully, she realized that the assassins had not yet returned to rest; they were still training at the Training Ground.
Thus, she quickly made her way to the Training Ground. Upon arrival, she indeed saw everyone diligently sparring and practicing. Even Shadowless, who was supervising, was engaged in a discussion and sparring session with Wuyang.
Luo Bingbing settled into her reclining chair and watched for a while until someone noticed her presence. The others promptly stopped what they were doing; Shadowless and Wuyang quickly ceased their activities as well. Shadowless swiftly floated over to Luo Bingbing's side while the others hurriedly bowed and greeted her.
After giving a slight nod, Luo Bingbing slowly spoke: "You may all disperse now! Rest well tonight; we will have tests early tomorrow morning."
Upon hearing her words, the expressions of the assassins varied greatly—some were happy, some worried, while others stood there in stunned silence. However, Luo Bingbing paid no mind to their reactions and directly addressed Shadowless beside her: "Shadow, come with me."
"Yes," Shadowless replied promptly.
Luo Bingbing then led Shadowless away from the Training Ground, leaving behind their tall and short figures fading from view as the assassins dispersed.
Once they returned to his cave, Luo Bingbing shared her plans for establishing the Dark Sect with Shadowless.
She spoke slowly: "Shadow, I want to establish a Dark Sect here with its headquarters located at this site. The Dark Sect will be divided into five ranks: at the top is the Dark Emperor; next are two great Dark Sovereigns—those being you and Wuyang; below them are four Dark Kings known as Eastern King, Southern King, Western King, and Northern King—the candidates will be determined after tomorrow's tests; next are the Five Great Envoys composed of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—their selection will also be finalized after tomorrow's tests; finally are the lower-tier assassins."
