"It has been located. Shadow-sama's sister is in the XX area."
Shangguan Wen opened the magic map and looked at the location on Kreya's wrist. He was stunned for a moment, then he brushed his hair back and said:
"Tsk tsk tsk, the light is really dark. The base has been cleared out, but they actually took it out and reused it. It turns out that they were too successful before, which made them arrogant and thought that the cult was just so-so. Now they really need to learn a lesson."
Beta on the other end of the communication said hurriedly:
"This has nothing to do with Lord Shadow. It's the fault of our subordinates. We didn't pay attention to this resurrected stronghold, which led to the kidnapping of Lord Shadow's sister."
"It has nothing to do with you. It's my responsibility as the commander. Let's not talk about that for now. Gather the seven shadows and go rescue them."
"Yes! But summoning the Seven Shadows is a bit of an overreaction."
"Not really. After all, you're going to meet Kreya, so it wouldn't be a bad idea to let her know about the existence of the dark forces in advance. Besides, she's also one of your future sisters."
Beta swallowed his saliva. Claire was Lord Shangguan Wen's sworn sister and also his fiancée. If she was married, she would definitely be the second or third wife, nominally ranking ahead of them. If she was more greedy, then they would have even less time to interact with Lord Shangguan Wen.

Destroy the stronghold before the Diabolos Cult
"That damned little girl, even though she was chained, she actually bit people like a filthy orc. She's not a daughter of a noble, she's simply an orc in human skin!"
Viscount Orba, who was in charge of this kidnapping mission, kept muttering to himself and asked his subordinates to wipe the wounds. He thought it was an easy mission, but he almost lost his life at the last moment. Anyone would be angry if he were in their place.
The stinky girl he was talking about was Shangguan Wen's sister, Kreya Kageno, the child bride of the Kageno family. Her family included adoptive parents and her fiancé's younger brother Sid. She was judged by the cult to be a suspected descendant of a hero and needed to be investigated and eliminated.
But what was unexpected was that the intelligence was wrong. Although she was only good at swordsmanship, her combat experience far exceeded that of her peers. Even with her limbs tied up, she still used her teeth to bite people. If she hadn't reacted quickly, her neck would have been bitten off.
"Fuck, nothing has gone well for me in recent years, how can I cultivate! I could have been promoted, but because of all these bad things, I was left behind, fuck!"
The Diabolos Cult has been active recently because of the emergence of a hostile force called Shadow Garden, which has been against the Cult since its birth. It has wiped out many Cult soldiers and eliminated many medium-sized strongholds, including many small strongholds.
Not only did the other party obtain a lot of secret information about the cult, money, and external forces, but even the most important experimental subject [Demon Possession] was snatched away. From human countries to the vast orc forest, those mad dogs (referring to Shadow Garden) were everywhere, which made the top leaders very dissatisfied. Even if they organized a counterattack team led by the Knights of the Round Table, they were killed by the other party, and their heads were hung in the stronghold.
In response to this, the cult's top brass issued an order that if they discovered anyone possessed by the devil, they should be immediately transferred away and not have direct contact with the mad dog. Once they discovered the mad dog's headquarters and members and collected intelligence on them, the cult would concentrate all its forces to capture them in one fell swoop and eliminate future troubles!
Chapter 10: Saving My Sister
There was a loud rumbling sound. The entire stronghold shook violently. Viscount Olba's face suddenly became embarrassed. Those mad dogs (referring to Shadow Garden) really followed the smell and came here.
"Your Excellency, there are intruders. It's those mad dogs!"
"Damn it! Take me there. You guys are responsible for transferring Kreya Kageno."
"Yes!"
When Viscount Olba rushed over, the guards who were comparable to the Knights of Midgar had been beheaded. All of them were killed in one blow, and blood and skulls were scattered everywhere.
He drew his sword and looked at the enemies that appeared before him. They were all women, wearing masks to conceal their true appearance.
"A bunch of guys hiding their heads and showing their tails, who are you?"
The blonde girl Alpha, who answered Viscount Olba, stepped forward and said
"Of course, it's the destroyer of the Diabolos Cult. Every member of Shadow Garden has a blood feud with the Cult!"
After hearing who his enemy was, Viscount Olba smiled contemptuously and said:
"So this is the revenge of some experimental subjects. You are not the first wave, but you will all be wiped out by the cult!"
The Diabolos Cult has existed for hundreds of years and has encountered opponents, but all of them were ruthlessly crushed. Whether in the past or now, as long as they know who the enemy is, everything will be easy.
There was a cold flash in Alpha's eyes, as if it could penetrate Viscount Olba's contempt and confidence.
"Hmph, you seem to have misunderstood our resolve and strength. The Diabolos Cult may be powerful, but the flames of revenge from our Shadow Garden are enough to burn away all darkness."
With a gentle wave of her hand, the remaining Shadow Garden members quickly dispersed, forming a surrounding formation. Every movement revealed a well-trained, tacit understanding and ruthlessness. Their weapons varied: some wielded sharp claws, gleaming coldly in the moonlight; others wielded blades. An ominous energy wave began to permeate the air.
"Today, we are not only here to settle personal grudges, but also to seek justice for the souls of those innocent victims and for those who have been shrouded in the shadow of the cult on this land!"
Alpha's voice was firm, and every word he said was like a heavy hammer, hitting Viscount Olba's heart.
This also made him believe that Shadow Garden had something that the cult did not have.
"Wait, do you have a lost cure? What on earth is Shadow Garden?"
"You know too much. If you don't have any valuable last words, just die!"
Viscount Olba was embarrassed when he saw this, but he quickly regained his composure, gripped the sword tightly, and a fierce look flashed in his eyes. If he wanted to turn the tables, he could only use the magic medicine. The magic medicine had great side effects at his level, but he had to use it now.
"Humph, relying on a bunch of you? The power of the cult is beyond your imagination!"
After saying that, he jumped back a few steps to create a safe distance, and decisively took the demon potion, which made him look extremely ugly, and the magic power in his body increased several times.
"Ohhhh~~~ This is the power bestowed upon us by the cult. You experimental subjects don't have it at all, hahahaha!!!"
The girls, led by Alpha, looked at Viscount Orba as if he were a clown. He had copied their [Demon Possession] completely, and it was a low-quality product with serious side effects. He was actually showing off in front of the genuine product. Did they really think they hadn't witnessed the changes in the cult's demon medicine over the years?
Alpha looked at the girls behind him and asked:
"Which one of you is coming?"
"I'll do it, I'll do it, Alpha, let Delta do it"
Delta raised his right hand.
"Just an inferior orc"
Delta just swung his claws with a little force and cut off Viscount Olba's hands holding the sword, and five claw marks appeared on his chest.
"How is this possible? It's just one blow, a girl of your age..."
Viscount Olba, who lost both hands and transformed back to his original form, looked at all this in disbelief. He lost not only his hands, but also his own faith. After decades of practice and taking the magic potion, he was still unable to withstand the blow of the experimental subject he once looked down upon. It felt like he was living in the body of a dog.
Delta said proudly:
"Hehe, in the words of the boss, the young men of Wuling are in the east of the Golden City, riding white horses with silver saddles in the spring breeze. That's what we are talking about."
"Hmph, what can your secretive boss give you? Join the cult. The cult can help you reach a higher level of strength."
Viscount Orba had seen experimental subjects who were willing to join the cult before. He believed that the cult gave them a better platform, and perhaps they could get information about Shadow Garden from those who instigated the rebellion.
but--
"How dare you, a damned ant, slander Lord Shadow!"
The girls were furious. The Diabolos Cult had destroyed their families and now they were hypocritically telling them that they would help them move to a higher level. They were also slandering Shangguan Wen, who had saved them and saved them from the disaster. This was simply courting death and dancing in a minefield.
"Kill him, don't let him die quickly!"
This was the unanimous decision of the girls.
On the other hand, Shangguan Wen went to the dungeon to find his good sister and fiancée, Claire.
When I saw Kreya, I saw that only her limbs were chained, and she was fine otherwise.
"Are you OK?"
Kreya raised her head and looked at the person who came. Although his face was covered with a mask, he seemed to be someone she was familiar with.
"who are you?"
"The one who saved you"
Shangguan Wen finished speaking and used the slime sword to cut the chains that bound Kreya, while using the horse spell to remove the abnormality on her body.
Kreya flexed her wrist and looked at Shangguan Wen warily.
"Who are you?"
"We are the avengers of Shadow Garden, fighting against the existence of the Diabolos Cult..."
Shangguan Wen talked about the history of the Diabolos Cult, the descendants of heroes, Shadow Garden, etc.
Because the amount of information was too overwhelming, Kreya was unable to react for a moment. After a long while, she finally let out a breath and said,
"This...this, if I hadn't experienced a disaster myself, I would have suspected you were lying to me."
Yes, Kreya looked at the masked man in front of her. From his habits and body language, she felt more and more that he was someone she knew. Could he be Sid?
Shangguan Wen was still surprised to find that he had been exposed to his sister, and continued:
"The truth is so absurd. It was only by chance that I learned about the other world hidden behind this world. Are you willing to join Shadow Garden? Kreya Kagenor."
Kreya Kageno looked at him meaningfully for a moment, then pretended to refuse:
"I am very grateful for your help, but please allow me to refuse. There is a bond here..."
Shangguan Wen was not surprised. His fiancée had not revealed her identity as a demon possessed person and was found by him in the early stage. She had not experienced the destruction of her family, the dangers of the world, or what despair was. She was luckier than Alpha and the others.
Shangguan Wen didn't care when he heard his sister's choice, but he still warned her:
"Well, you can only delay it for a while, not forever. As the battle between Shadow Garden and the Diabolos Cult intensifies, their actions will become more frequent. Disguise yourself a little and don't act too good. This will be beneficial to you, who haven't grown up yet."
After experiencing this crisis, Kreya realized that she and her family had been exposed to the eyes of the Diabolos Cult.
Chapter 11 Sealing My Sister's Memory
"I see, Sid, thank you for the reminder."
"As you should, Sister Kreya."
As soon as Shangguan Wen finished saying this, he was completely stunned. He didn't expect that Claire, who had been playing tricks on him for so long, would actually discover him, and that he could easily trick her into revealing something.
After successfully tricking her, Kreya went from being overjoyed to being furious. She felt a strong sense of deception and immediately took two steps at a time, grabbing Shangguan Wen by the collar and demanding,
"Sid~~~How many things are you hiding from me?!"
Shangguan Wen also smiled apologetically:
"Kreya, let go, let go, listen to my excuses, no, listen to my explanations"
Claire snorted and loosened Shangguan Wen's collar, wanting to hear his explanation. If Shangguan Wen wanted to harm her, he would not have come to save her. She could only say that her brother and fiancé also had a side that she didn't know.
Shangguan Wen said something in a veiled way, especially when he mentioned that there were nearly 300 girls in Shadow Garden. Kreya's eyes widened as big as cows. She had never thought that there would be cows, and more than 300 cows at that, who would bully her.
"So, you've already established Shadow Garden since you were five years old, and now you've opened a Crystal Palace that has over 5 people?"
Ah, after all this talk, this is all you heard?
"This is just one of them. So we are developing in the dark now. The Diabolos Cult is the same. We are fighting in the dark."
"Then I am willing to join Shadow Garden"
"Ah? Weren't you unwilling before?"
Kreya gritted her teeth and said:
"Before was before, now is now. I can't imagine how many girls Sid will seduce in the future. When I think of so many cows, I can't control my 40-meter sword."
Shangguan Wen glanced at Kreya and saw from her eyes that she was jealous, not anything else. Although this was a woman's nature, Shangguan Wen did not want the organization he founded to become like the female-oriented novels, where all they did was jealousy and nothing serious was done. He could not help but refuse:
"If you're entering Shadow Garden out of jealousy, Kreya, then forget it. Shadow Garden is filled with blood-stained avengers, each of whom has a deep-seated feud with the cult. This isn't suitable for someone like you who hasn't realized the truth yet."
When Kreya heard Shangguan Wen's refusal, she flew into a rage. She grabbed Sid's shoulders, shook him, and asked:
"What? Sid, explain to me clearly, what do you mean by I am not aware?"
Shangguan Wen looked at Kreya seriously and said:
"Tell me, Kreya, what should you call me when we're on a mission within the organization?"
"Sid?"
"Wrong, it's Shadow-sama. When working, you must refer to your position, even if it's Claire."
"Huh? Sid, you actually asked me to call you 'Lord Shadow'?"
Shangguan Wen nodded and replied:
"It's certainly true at work. We can't easily reveal our identities. The Diabolos Cult has existed for centuries and possesses resources that Shadow Garden lacks. We've even been targeted and suffered losses in combat because we revealed our true names. It's safe to say that fighting a cult isn't some childish romance; it's a battle of iron and blood, a bloody battle of swords!"
After saying this, Shangguan Wen exuded a murderous aura that he had never seen in these years. The blood was so thick and the killing intent was so strong that it frightened Claire to the point of paralysis on the ground, her body shaking uncontrollably.
Kreya's pupils shrank sharply in fear. She felt not only the cold murderous intent coming from Shangguan Wen, but also a breath of despair that seemed to tear apart the depths of her soul.
The air around her seemed to freeze, every second seemed as long as a year, and her heartbeat was particularly loud in the silence, almost jumping out of her chest.
"Sid...you..."
Kreya's voice was thin and shimmering. She tried to summon a shred of dignity and courage, but her trembling lips betrayed her helplessness. She had never imagined that Shangguan Wen, seemingly gentle and courteous, would suddenly reveal such a terrifying side. Shangguan Wen didn't answer immediately. He slowly approached, each step like a step on Kreya's heart, causing her to feel an unprecedented sense of oppression. He approached, dispelling the murderous aura that had just overflowed, as if everything had been fake.
Shangguan Wen walked over, took Kreya's hand, and said softly:
