Chapter 215: Sniffing
The Murial collapsed completely, burying the only piece of history with it. Fortunately, Shen Yu made a small mountain underneath which covered the hollow area, otherwise the whole Senter Valley Base would have collapsed with it.
After seeing that through, he disappeared from there and appeared high above the Senter Valley, looking solemnly at the towering Wall of darkness. Except, the wall was actually solid.
At first, Shen Yu had not thought much about the Hollow Mountains as it was the Xianxia World and things like it were common.
But after going through the memories and knowing what the Hollow Mountains were, he grew suspicious of them. But he did nothing as it was not related to him.
Until today.
After learning that the Hollow Mountains were created after the major calamity of fifty thousand years ago, he had a guess that they were somehow related.
He narrowed his eyes at chains of high mountain rising high above the clouds, as if piercing the sky itself, and thought.
'What could it be?'
Nothing came to his mind. Even if the mountain were suspicious, what would it means? It hid something or maybe it was made to cover up something and be used in future?
The most he could think of were the spiritual Creatures. The Hollow Mountains were home to the majority of deadly Spiritual Creatures. There was a reason it was a death zone even for Ascension Realm Cultivators.
One could find unfathomable Abominations there they would never even imagine to exist. And these creatures were related to that being.
Their endless hunger came from the corruption that being carried. And even their powers was because of it. So, he had no reason to not see their existence in suspicion.
But it still didn't explain anything. Even if the Hollow Mountains were the home of Spiritual Creatures, so what?
As his gaze went down the mountains, he suddenly remembered the Black Knights and their kind. He instantly asked Nancy.
'Is it possible that they are related to it? And maybe the thing they are guarding is the being itself?'
[I highly doubt that. I mean, they can be a byproduct of Corruption just like how the Spiritual Creatures are but they definitely are not related to that being. I would have detected the Chaos Magic of Corruption on them the last time you captured them.]
'Hmm, the Hollow Mountains also stand out too much so it's a very unsafe place.'
[Yup, I don't detect anyone there. Well, atleast not the being for sure. It is recovering somewhere really hidden, maybe not even in this world.]
Shen Yu raised an eyebrow.
'This is very possible! Maybe the reason you can't find it is because it isn't here in the first place.'
[That's what I think, because even with the Chaos Magic of Corruption, it would be pretty much impossible to hide in a world of my domain.]
Shen Yu gave a one last look to the Hollow Mountains and began to dissolve in the air.
'We will still check it out later, just in case. Who knows we might find some clues. For now, I will complete the work I left to my wives.'

The once barren base of Assassin Organisation had transformed into something else entirely. The Cultivators possessed power to overturns terrains but they also had the power to make things.
With the help of various assassins and their unique powers, the former Senter Valley Base of Assassin was completely transformed into a proper underground fortress.
Caves were now like artificial tunnels and the halls were now made into rooms as if they were in army barracks.
In one such room, a young woman with short black hair and shiny Golden orbs like eyes, was sitting on a armchair, playing with a dagger in her hand.
The room was small and only a single torch illuminated the surroundings. The room was empty beside a few armchairs and a big wooden table placed in the center. Many beverages and fruits were placed on it.
Ying Yue opened her eyes and yawned, growing bored of waiting. But it was Master's orders so she was following whole heartedly.
As she picked up an apple to eat, the makeshift wooden door of the room opened. A mature figure entered, her hips swaying naturally.
The figure with long pink hairs and beautiful eyes came to sit before Ying Yue and smiled.
"What happened?"
Ying Yue sighed.
"Nothing. I'm just waiting for Master."
Lan Ming hummed and asked.
"When is he coming?"
Shrugging, Ying Yue replied.
"He said he would be here in a few minutes so we had to get our subordinate ready. So, are they ready?"
A smile formed on Lan Ming's face as she nodded.
"They couldn't be more ready. Most of them are actually excited to prove their allegiance to you."
To become a true leader, Ying Yue had demonstrated her capabilities to the Assassins. Naturally, they were stunned to see the things and assassin could truly do and began to to worship her.
She was like a role model for people like them, so she naturally grew popular. Now, they wanted to prove themselves to her. This actually helped her a lot and it was Lan Ming who suggested her to do this.
Remembering that, Ying Yue smiled.
"I have to thank you for all this, Sister Ming. Without you, I doubt I would have been able to control the organisation so easily."
Lan Ming just giggled softly at that.
"Don't mention it, we're fellow sisters after all. Beside, Master also ordered me so how can I not do my best?"
She looked at her hands which were still playing with daggers and her lips twitched.
"If you really feel grateful, then please never sneak upon me. My poor heart wouldn't be able to handle that."
Now, it was Ying Yue's turn to be speechless as she stopped her dagger and looked at her sister wife.
'Sis, are you forgetting what you are capable of?'
She shook her head and said.
"Don't worry, these daggers are only for people who stand against my family so they will always be for you, not against you."
Her gaze then went to the sword Lan Ming always carried and said.
"Beside, I should be the one to beg you to not use your Sword Field when we hug."
The two looked at each and laughed out loud. The two ladies had spent a long time with each other so they naturally grew fond of each other and were now like true sisters.
As they were joking around, the space beside them fluctuated before a silhouette of man appeared there. Knowing who it was, they smiled and said, simultaneously.
"Welcome to the Shadow Garden, Master!"
Shen Yu stepped forward and smiled at them. Just their presence was enough to lighten his mood. His body had been tense from the moment he heard the truth about world, but their smiles instantly made him relaxed.
He opened his arm wide and said.
"That is a wrong way to welcome your Husband."
The two ladies looked at each other before chuckling. Then, without hesitation they took one side each and hugged him.
Shen Yu also hugged them both and said.
"I missed you two!"
While Ying Yue just enjoyed his warmth, keeping her mouth silent like usual, Lan Ming was having fun.
She sniffed his clothes and pouted
"You say you missed us but you were fucking some other women! It's not even someone we're familiar with."
Shen Yu was speechless as he looked down at his wife.
'What are you? A dog? Also how do you even other's smell? The fuck!?'
Before he could reply, he heard a low voice from his other side and turned to look, only to see Ying Yue sniffed his clothes too.
She narrowed her eyes, turning them into slits and said.
"No, Sister Lan, one of them is familiar. It's Sister Zhiyan."
Hearing that, Shen Yu turned even more speechless and wondered if he did something wrong. Did these two awaken some sort of sniffing abilities?
What he didn't know was that the women were too obsessed with him and often used his clothes for some...good purposes. So, how could they not know his smell?
As for other women? Many of them had sex together and had tasted each other. They understood each other very well, so they had also begin to use this method to know if their Master had new wife.
It was not like they were against him having more wives or anything, they just wanted to know about their new sister who would join their family soon.
The two women looked up at Shen Yu and asked.
"Who is it, Master?"
"You did it with Sister Zhiyan too?"
Shen Yu sighed and clicked his fingers, as a comfy sofa appeared behind him. Holding his two wives by their waist, he sat down on the sofa and said.
"How about we first deal with our mission first? I would introduce to each other later. Oh yeah! I do want you all to take care of this new individual, she needs that."
