Chapter 658 The coveted title

With Xin Ren in charge of the assassins, it gave Xia Jung the benefits of having an already established vast network, and at the same time Wu Long did not really break any boundaries, since the former was already part of the Bahshi Assassination Group to begin with.

This arrangement also brough more security to those Wu Long left behind, as dealing with assassins was far more troublesome than Wu Long made it seem.

His abilities and experience allowed him to ensure that no one could approach him without alerting his senses, as well as choose when he wanted to engage them.

And while he could constantly ensure the safety of those around him by letting them carry protective talismans, those still required to be updated and changed whenever he got better materials and higher cultivation to produce better ones.

Moreover the stock of such talismans Xia Jung, Lei Ding, and Feng Huan could carry around was very limited.

Wu Long gave Xin Ren the Bahshi Ghost General Codex, the techniques two levels higher than anyone in the Boundless Mortal World should possess.

That ensured he would be at the very least the highest authority among the Bahshi Assassins beside Wu Long and the twins in Boundless Mortal World and Boundless Profound World alike.

But he also gave him the Bahshi Ghost Captain Codex and Bahshi Ghost Knight Codex to distribute to loyal and useful subordinates, creating an effective structure.

Xin Ren was more reserved and aloof in his demeanor, not mingling much among Wu Long's subordinates, and mostly keeping to himself.

Though of course, at this moment everyone was busy with preparations for departure.

Even those who were already good at what they did like Ye Ling and Lian Zhiqiu were very focused on bettering themselves, thus motivating those around them to put in even more effort.

Despite such rigorous training, however, there was not much new that Wu Long gave them aside from a few who would be left behind and would have time apart to figure it out, as the whole point of this training was to ground the skills and abilities of everyone in experience, as well as solidify them before learning something new and more complex.

Wu Long himself was also focused on understanding what he had at the moment, as he knew that it would likely become easier and easier for him to gather new Dao Runes.

Not to mention that he still had to figure out the way forward in terms of his cultivation.

*Riing!*

A high pitched sound resounded in a valley deep within the Spiritual Land, that Wu Long used as his personal training ground. This whole area was deformed, signs of havoc visible everywhere, which was why he did not practice within the Sect.

Currently, he was manipulating the Sound Rune's power to see if he could gain a deeper understanding of it.

'Hmm, it is still elusive...', Wu Long thought as he could tell that his control over the sound in his immediate vicinity got progressively better.

It was after he asked Gong Cui to play a piece for him, and meditated on the sound he heard, which allowed him to make such rapid progress.

Eventually this created a situation where no one was able to aim for that title.

Doing so was akin to waging war with the entirety of the Seven Boundless Worlds.

"Come on, you don't have to worry about it that much", Wu Long chuckled as he looked at Fen Baihu, who after a long pause sighed with a defeated expression, not knowing why this madman's confidence was so convincing to her.

"Anyway, your women were looking for you", she then said as he raised his eyebrow and then checked on his communication jade.

"They didn't contact you", she then shook her head and he made a wry smile.

"It's not good to eavesdrop", Wu Long lightly rebuked her, mostly joking.

"They weren't exactly discreet about it, I just happened to witness them talking", Fen Baihu shrugged her shoulders with a look of no wrongdoing.

Wu Long knew that the concept of privacy was a bit foreign to her because of her nature, as a being that, in a sense, existed everywhere at the same time.

Only now, as she materialized into one of her true forms of flesh and blood was her consciousness contained in one place.

Wu Long shook his head with a smile and then as he used a technique to clean off the sweat that he worked up, stepped forward, disappearing from this valley, as did Fen Baihu.

He found those who were not so much looking for him, but waiting for his return, in the Mansion atop the peak of unity.

It was a slightly odd combination, of those who usually did not mingle much on their own due to having not much in common.

Lian Zhiqiu and Hong Ye rose from their seats that they were leisurely occupying before as soon as he showed up, and he could see a glint in the eyes of the ladies as he chuckled.

"Well someone is impatient", he chuckled as they revealed looks of slight rebuke.

"And whose fault is that?", Lian Zhiqiu revealed a seductive smile as she came closer to him from one side.

"Hmm, I do agree that this time focusing on training left us little time for anything else...", he chuckled, as in the past few weeks everyone was so busy they rarely even saw each other in passing.

But it seemed as the patience of the three who came here was waning as they looked at him with eyes full of expectation.

"Darling, I can't wait much longer", Hong Ye spoke as she approached from the other side.

"Hahaha, my bad, my bad, I will be sure to make up for it", Wu Long lightly laughed as he saw their impatience in the looks they gave him.

He hugged the waist of the two beauties and they all moved toward the bedroom.
