Divine Harem: My Sect of Heavenly Beauties

Finding the battlefield of the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators wasn't difficult. They were just too powerful and caused too much destruction most of the time.

After Song Junwan killed everyone who was heading toward the entrance gate, Shen Yu teleported alongside her to one of the main battlefields.

As soon as they arrived, they saw an unexpected scene before them. They had expected a pure scene of destruction and carnage, but instead, the battlefield was actually safe.

Well, not quite safe, as there were many craters, and the smell in the air was also quite different. It was as if something was burnt, and looking at the flattened ground, it was clear what produced that smell.

At the center of this carnage, a woman wearing dark robes was looking around at her surroundings, frustration clear in her eyes.

With a loud roar, she pushed her feet against the ground and soared high up into the air. From there, she created hundreds of blazing spears that she sent toward the ground, obliterating everything.

Surprisingly, there was no one else in sight besides her, and it looked like the woman had gone insane. She was just destroying everything randomly.

However, Shen Yu and Song Junwan knew the reality and could perceive one more human on the battlefield, waiting for her chance.

Smiling, Song Junwan said as her black hair fluttered in the wind,

"Her name is Vanish, from what I've gathered. She was an Elder in the Assassin Organization who was more or less forced to go there. The Major Sects were searching for her, so she had to take refuge in the Assassin Organization."

Shen Yu nodded, observing the battle closely. It might seem like nothing major was happening aside from the destruction, but the battle was actually quite intense.

Being high in cultivation realms, Shen Yu could easily see the minor details and knew that the two were on equal terms for now. But from the way things were going, Vanish would definitely win.

As he mulled over the battle's result, Song Junwan continued.

"Apparently, she was very talented but was in a small sect. When the Major Sects learned of her talent, they tried to poach her in. But she refused as she had family in that sect."

A bitter smile appeared on her face as she continued.

"Surprisingly, her sect began to decline from then, and she was forced to join the federation to get a backup. Unfortunately, she was too naive to think she could do anything there."

Sighing, Song Junwan said,

"She actually tried to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm, against the orders of her superiors. After all, they didn't want a rogue Nascent Soul Realm, and given their history with her sect, they were afraid of her growth, so they decided to paint her in a black light and decided to execute her."

Song Junwan raised her head and looked at Vanish, who had made several illusion clones to attack the woman.

"She managed to escape, but her sect didn't. They were branded as her supporters, and, well, they didn't have a good end."

Turning towards Shen Yu, she smiled.

"Because of all of this, she has a deep-rooted hatred toward the Empire and Major Sects. This was also the reason she joined the Assassin Organization, as they were, in a way, opposed to them."

She sighed.

"So, when she learned about your plans, she was very happy and wanted to join in the operation. She also said that since you are fulfilling her goal, she would also prove herself to be of use to you."

Hearing the story behind the woman hiding beneath that wooden mask, Shen Yu chuckled softly.

"You really can't judge a book by its cover!"

"So, what are your plans with her, Master?" Song Junwan asked.

Rubbing his chin, Shen Yu spoke.

"If everything goes right, then we can make her the sub-leader of the Shadow Garden. You all will be too busy with your own cultivation and sect matters to have time for this."

Instead of replying, Song Junwan looked at the magnificent battle unfolding before her. It was really beautiful in a way, as the illusions Vanish put her opponent through were just marvelous.

Even though she herself was injured many times in the fight, she kept her cool and used her techniques to bring down her opponent's mental strength.

Vanish herself wasn't a good combatant, and it was showing in the battle. Even a single hit was enough to make her bleed, but she compensated for her weakness with far more powerful abilities.

Majoring in stealth and illusion, she fought from the shadows and slowly killed her target. Of course, this was only in cases of stronger opponents, as they were harder to kill.

For cultivators below her cultivation base, she could just trap them in an illusion and kill them without even lifting a finger. This was the true strength of a Nascent Soul Realm Cultivator.

Unfortunately, she was fighting an opponent in the same realm as her, and her skills opposed her greatly. The flames were too troublesome to deal with, and they affected her illusions too.

She had been injured so many times because of this that her whole body was bleeding at this point, with many bruises and charred skin all over her body.

Still, there was no hint of emotion in the visors of her mask, as she cast more and more illusions, trapping her opponent in a never-ending cycle.

After what felt like an eternity to her, she finally managed to land a hit on her opponent when she had cast a hundred layers of illusions, which the woman took a little bit of time to come out of.

And that small frame of time was enough for someone like Vanish to sneak upon her and slice her throat, head, and heart in one single sweep.

She didn't forget about the problem the Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators had, as she herself was one. So she was prepared when the Nascent Soul of her opponent tried to escape.

With a light flick of her fingers, Vanish created more illusions around the Nascent Soul, ultimately trapping her in an everlasting dream.

Her beautiful and most powerful creation.

With a thud, Vanish dropped onto the blackened ground as the smell of burnt wood and metal assaulted her nostrils. Black smoke was also blinding her vision and causing problems with breathing.

Fortunately, none of that mattered as she was successful in her task. She had managed to bring down a pest of this world.

"There will be more!"

As soon as that thought appeared, Vanish stood up and disappeared from her spot. But soon, she appeared again and dropped to her knees.

"Subordinate Vanish greets Lord of Shadows."

It was Shen Yu and Song Junwan who had decided to visit her, seeing that the battle had ended. Walking in front, Shen Yu smiled and addressed Vanish.

"It's good to see that you had your guard up even after winning."

Vanish felt butterflies dancing in her belly from the praise and said, trying to suppress her excitement,

"Thank you for the praise, Master. It is our first rule of Assassins: never lower your guard, even in moments of happiness."

Shen Yu chuckled softly and nodded. Then, he waved his hand as all the black smoke and smell was carried away by the winds.

Seeing the state of the northern settlement, full of charred and broken ground, Shen Yu was impressed. The damage was really small compared to other battles he had seen from Nascent Soul Realm Cultivators.

As for the one who caused all of this, her headless body was lying on the ground, with a deep hole in her chest. A little distance away, her head was looking back at her body, with eyes full of indignation.

And the other participant in this destruction, Vanish, was kneeling before him. She wore a tight bodysuit that showed off her curves and let people's imaginations run wild.

She also wore a wooden mask on her face, a different one from the time of her Assassin Organization. The wooden mask now looked like a skull with a single horn growing from the forehead.

Shen Yu smiled and said,

"You did great today, and I hope you continue to support me like this. Our fight has not ended yet."

Hearing his words, a jolt of excitement passed through Vanish's body as she shouted,

"My body, my soul, everything belongs to you, Master. I am now your blade, so use me however you want."

Waving his hand, Shen Yu said,

"No need to be so serious. As for your use, yes, you're very useful, especially because of your illusion skills."

Shen Yu could already think of many ways he could utilize her abilities in his future battles. Illusion could be a very powerful thing, considering it was the base of Creation Skills.

Finally turning his attention toward Vanish's opponent, Shen Yu raised an eyebrow.

"This is more useful than I thought."
