Chapter 460 Shen and Tribulation
Irelia was hesitating whether to tell Elder Nanwu's disciples about this speculation.
Judging from the current situation, it can only be said that the suspicion of the Brotherhood is huge.
Judging from their current state, if they learn about this matter, they will probably come directly to the door. This is tantamount to hitting an egg with a stone.
After seeing the look Lucci cast, Irelia finally decided to remain silent for the time being.
Only after they separated from the disciples of Elder Nan Wu did the four of them begin to discuss.
"How should we deal with this matter? If it was done by the Brotherhood, then they are too unscrupulous now, right?"
Akali frowned slightly. Her previous impression of the Brotherhood was that it was composed of a group of radical and passionate members, but now it seems that this is not entirely true.
"No matter what, I can't sit back and watch the Brotherhood continue like this."
Irelia let out a sullen breath, but she also felt angry in her heart.
The brotherhood has completely broken the bottom line by using unscrupulous means against its compatriots.
Lu Qi thought for a while and then said: "This matter may not be done by the Brotherhood. In contrast, I am more curious about what Elder Nanwu invited you to discuss. And why did you do it in such a clever way? Choose the time to retreat.”
Ah Li deduced: "Perhaps Elder Nan Wu discovered some secret of the Brotherhood, but was killed by the Brotherhood to silence him?"
"possible."
Lu Qi thought for a moment and continued: "But if we think a little more boldly, what if the person who asked Irelia to come is not Elder Nan Wu?"
After the words fell, the three girls couldn't help but fell silent.
This is completely terrifying to think about.
If the person who invited Irelia over was not Elder Nanwu, then who else could it be?
murderer?
According to this speculation, the murderer may have controlled Elder Nan Wu earlier, and then deliberately lured Irelia here. For what reason?
In short, this incident is confusing.
Everyone has no clue at all. If there is no evidence, I am afraid that the people in the Brotherhood will not admit it.
Even if Irelia knew that the Brotherhood was going to assassinate her, it was not easy for her to kill her directly. Without clear evidence, it would be easier for the Brotherhood to control public opinion.
The best way now is to catch the murderer, then ask him about the person behind the scenes, and then catch the person behind the scenes.
"I'm going to go back to the scene and take a look, maybe there's something I've missed."
Lu Qi said and had already stood up.
Naturally, he cannot be a bystander in this matter, it concerns Irelia, and if the Brotherhood acts so unscrupulously, it may also have an impact on the establishment of the Hex Flying Gate.
Soon, he returned to the retreat hut where Elder Nanwu was killed.
Except for Elder Nan Wu's body being taken away, the rest of the traces here have not changed.
Lu Qi relaxed his mind, released his consciousness, and began to feel carefully.
His consciousness spread to the entire cabin, focusing on the places where there were traces of battles. Inexplicably, a wave of fluctuation flashed through his heart.
He sensed the aura of magic. Some magic had been used here before, and he felt it was somewhat familiar.
"Lady Irelia, someone else is here."
At this time, the eldest disciple suddenly came from outside and reported the news: "He is from the Kinkou Sect."
"The Kinkou?"
Akali's attention was drawn.
So Lu Qi also exited the hut and came to the living room with a few others.
I saw a person walking slowly from outside the living room. He was tall and walked steadily. He wore a black and blue ninja armor and a mask on his head, which gave him a mysterious aura. He carried two short blades on his back.
Seeing this person, Akali's expression suddenly changed, as if she saw someone she didn't want to see.
And the identity of this person immediately flashed through Lu Qi's mind.
Eyes of Twilight - Shen.
"Long time no see, Akali. Your breath has become much calmer."
Shen's voice was calm and calm, with incomparable calmness and calmness. His eyes fell on Akali and gave him slight approval.
"Oh, you don't need to tell me."
Akali didn't look very good, snorted coldly, turned her head and stopped looking at him.
"Seeing that you are doing well, I feel relieved."
Shen seemed to chuckle, not minding Akali's cold attitude.
When he was this age, he was also very passionate and easily got into trouble.
The girl left the sect angrily because she couldn't bear the sect's indifference to the suffering of the people of Ionia and its indifference during the war.
Shen knew that she had to walk this path by herself.
After seeing her again after seeing each other again, he felt relieved to see that she was safe and sound and seemed to have made a new partner.
At this time, Irelia stepped forward, with one hand as a palm and the other as a fist, they put them together and bowed: "I have seen Master Shen."
Shen responded with the same gesture: "Blade Dancer, I have heard about the name for a long time."
"It's just a false name." Irelia stood up and asked with confusion in her eyes: "Why is Master here?"
"As long as you are equal to your peers. I am here this time at the invitation of Elder Nan Wu."
Shen is now the leader of the Kinkou Sect, and he has become worthy of the title of master, but he doesn't care about this.
Hearing this, Irelia couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Seeing her dazed look, Shen took out a letter from his pocket and said: "The letter said that Elder Nan Wu had something important to discuss with me. After thinking about it, I decided to come for the appointment. But I didn't expect to meet him here. Come on everyone."
Akali couldn't help but said: "Did Elder Nan Wu invite so many people? What did he invite you for?"
Shen seemed to sense something was wrong, but still said: "Elder Nanwu and my father are old acquaintances. He has a close relationship with the Kinkou Sect and is an elder I respect."
His father was the previous Eye of Twilight, the Master of Kudu.
However, the master died due to the rebellion of his most trusted disciple. Later, the disciple left the sect and established a sect called Shadow Stream.
Akali was a person involved, so the Kinkou Sect fought with the Shadow Stream Sect, and they were forced to flee from the sect's base.
Later, during the war, the fighting between the two sects ceased, and after the war, a weak consensus on a truce was reached.
"What exactly happened here?"
Sensing something wrong from everyone's expressions, Shen couldn't help but ask.
"Elder Nan Wu has been killed. We were also invited here. We just found out about it."
Irelia told the story from beginning to end.
After Shen listened, he was slightly silent for a moment. Because he was wearing a mask, his expression could not be seen.
"Sad and lamentable. May all spirits grant the elder rest in peace."
Shen felt pity in his heart. After clasping his hands and praying, he said, "Take me to the place where the elder was killed."
So everyone took him to the hut.
Seeing the blood stains everywhere, Shen couldn't help but sigh again. The next second, he raised his hands and formed a hand seal, and suddenly the magic power was rampant.
His eyes were also as bright as if they were glowing.
The magic power emanating from Shen enveloped the entire cabin, revealing a blue as clear as daylight. In this environment, everyone saw many details that they could not usually see.
Such as footprints.
There were footprints on the ground, near the battle marks, and it looked like two people were wrestling.
In addition, there are also fluctuations in magic power.
There are only a few wisps of black breath left in the air. If it had come later, I'm afraid even this would not be left.
"This is."
Shen couldn't help but pause at this time, "Shadow Magic."
"Shadow magic?"
Akali opened her eyes slightly and blurted out: "Shadow Stream? Is the murderer who assassinated Elder Nanwu a member of the Shadow Stream sect?"
Shen's twilight eyes can see scenes in the real realm and the spiritual realm, thereby discovering things that are difficult for ordinary people to discover.
It's perfect for finding these clues.
He did not find any new clues. The residual shadow magic aura at the scene could only show that people from Shadow Stream had been here before.
Then there seems to be no need to say more about the murderer.
If you think about it carefully, Shadow Stream does have the possibility of taking action. Because their position is the same as that of the Brotherhood, they are more supportive of the establishment of a country and an army.
However, Shadow Stream and the Brotherhood are different in their publicity. They act mysteriously. Usually, the dragon disappears, so it is difficult to find their specific traces.
Lu Qi was also slightly surprised at this time. It turned out that the familiar magic he felt just now was actually shadow magic.
Right now, Shadow Stream is a bigger suspect than the Brotherhood.
At this moment, a low and hoarse voice suddenly sounded: "There is no way Shadow Liu did this."
Hearing this voice, Shen instinctively grasped the long blade behind him, and then looked around.
Everyone's eyes also looked at it.
Where the voice sounded, a shadow appeared, and then a figure appeared from it. It was also a man, wearing another kind of ninja armor and a mask. Different from Shen's mysterious and peaceful figure, this one was more sinister.
Seeing this person, another piece of information flashed in Lu Qi's mind.
The Lord of Shadow Stream—Jie.
With a "clang" sound, Shen had already pulled out the steel knife and soul blade from his back, and anger surged in his peaceful eyes: "It's not like you've never done this kind of thing before. Now that it's happened, you still have no excuses."
The person in front of him was once his best friend, but now, he was an extremely jealous enemy.
This man who was once named Jie was one of his father's favorite disciples. However, he was also the one who killed his father with his own hands.
"Elder Nan Wu has done good deeds throughout his life, and never thought that he would suffer such a disaster. No matter what, I want to give him an explanation, and the things that happened back then should be settled."
As he spoke, he leaned forward and rushed forward very quickly.
"I know that I can't make you understand what happened back then. So I will give you a chance for revenge." Jie jumped back and landed on the ground, avoiding Shen's killing move, and continued, "But This matter was indeed not done by Shadow Stream and I. I never bother to hide this kind of thing."
"It would be great if I really wanted revenge at this moment." Shen's attack was strong, but his tone seemed to be calm, "Your move has destroyed the balance, so you deserve the death penalty."
Facing his offensive, Zed just dodged from beginning to end, and it seemed that the other party was not prepared to give him another chance to speak.
Facing Shen, who had grown up a lot, Jie also knew that he had no room for distraction.
He really had murderous intentions.
And so it should be.
No one can remain calm when facing the enemy who killed his father.
Not even ten seconds have passed since Zed appeared, but the battle has become more and more intense.
No one expected that things would develop so quickly.
Watching the two fighting, they found that Zed seemed to have never thought about fighting back from beginning to end, but just passively followed Shen's attack.
If he continues like this, he will be killed by Shen sooner or later.
Shen was naturally not a weakling. No matter how strong Rao Shijie's body skills were, it would be unbearable if he didn't fight back at all.
This was the case now. Facing Shen's successive killing moves, Zed had no means of counterattack.
This made Akali, Ahri and Irelia all feel that something was wrong.
Why did Zed still not seem ready to fight back even though he was about to be killed?
Even Irelia knew that as the master of Shadow Stream, Zed was not necessarily weaker than Shen.
During the war, the Shadow Stream he commanded was a nightmare for many Noxian legions.
"If you don't calm down, I'm going to help you calm down."
Zed blocked Shen's double blades with his arm blades and spoke again.
"Do you think I'm not calm enough?" Shen suddenly laughed, but his voice was cold, "Then let's try it. Ever since you were a child, unless I deliberately let you do it, how could you beat me?"
His words silenced Zed. Waves of shadow magic began to appear on his body, and he seemed to be starting to fight back.
The battle seemed to be getting more intense.
Shen and Zed attacked each other at the same time.
They had fought like this hundreds of times, but back then they were just sparring. It's different now. If you lose one move, you will die.
At this moment, Lu Qi suddenly appeared and joined the battle like an aurora.
He held both blades in his hands, and each blocked the full-force attacks from the left and right sides. The expressions on both men's masks changed. They didn't expect someone to intervene in the battle so abruptly.
Akali and the other three did not expect that Lu Qi would suddenly intervene.
Lu Qi said at this time: "You two, why don't you give Irelia some face and stop here."
Irelia was slightly startled, her face a little dull, why do you use my face when you speak?
Maybe it was out of fear of Lu Qi's strength, or maybe it was for Irelia's sake.
Shen and Zed put away their weapons at the same time, showing a tacit understanding.
They took a look at Lu Qi together and remembered this young man with unfathomable strength in their hearts.
If someone else were to intervene in the center of their battle, they would be destroyed or destroyed. But Lu Qi was able to forcefully interrupt their offensive.
"According to my observation, this brother from Kageliu doesn't seem to have any malicious intentions."
Lu Qi turned his head and gave Zed a friendly smile.
The corners of Jie Mask's mouth twitched, feeling a little uncomfortable with Lu Qi's inexplicable enthusiasm, so he said a stiff "hmm".
Shen snorted coldly and said nothing.
"The first thing we should solve now is the cause of Elder Nan Wu's death."
Lu Qi glanced at the two of them and returned to his original position, "You said it wasn't someone from Shadow Stream who did it, so why are there traces of Shadow Magic on the scene?"
The reason why he wanted to interfere in the battle between them was because Lu Qi had a certain understanding of Jie.
As far as he knew, this assassin who looked sinister was actually not a bad person.
