Chapter 463 Hard talk

Chapter 463 Hard talk

At this time, in the maple forest, apart from the smell of blood spreading everywhere, there were also wails and screams from everywhere.

Four hundred and forty-four people, at least half died because of Jhin.

Lu Qi found the talisman he used to teleport from Jin's body. Unfortunately, after sensing it with his magic power, he found that the talisman could no longer be used.

Apparently the number has been used up.

After everything at the scene was dealt with and everyone left was sent out of Bufeng Valley, everyone returned to Jhin's body again.

Shen and Jie watched this evil man die. Although they felt a little regretful that they had not killed him with their own hands, they finally felt relieved.

"He should have been killed back then, and today's big mistake could have been avoided."

Thinking of those people who died because of the Golden Demon today, Shen couldn't help but sigh. If he had not hesitated back then, everything today would not have happened.

Lu Qi didn't think so: "If a golden demon dies, a silver demon or a bronze demon will appear today. Nothing will change."

Akali nodded and said: "Yes, the important thing is who ordered this guy to do all this. If we don't find that guy out, it will be a matter of time before some silver demon or bronze demon appears."

Jie said: "It has only been two months since he escaped from prison, but he has so many preparations. There must be someone behind it. It's a pity that we can't get the answer from a dead man's mouth."

"Let me try."

Ahri took a step forward, closed her eyes, and activated her spiritual power.

Lu Qi was thinking for a moment. When the Golden Demon appeared, he already knew the answer in his heart.

"His life essence has not completely dissipated, I should be able to find it."

Ahri had already sensed Jhin's remaining essence. As she absorbed these essences, memories poured into her mind.

The first half of Kadar Jhin's life was very miserable. Because of his ugly appearance, he was not welcome wherever he went.

And he had problems with his own psychology. Under such day-to-day discrimination, he completely became a psychopath.

He regards killing as an art, and the moment blood blooms is as beautiful as a flower.

From the initial torture of small animals to the final murder, he became more and more bold.

Ah Li looked at these memories indifferently, and soon she found the key clue.

Jhin was indeed rescued, and he had already made contact with the person behind the scenes. That person was...

"Ku said."

Ah Li opened her eyes, opened her red lips slightly, and uttered two words.

"What?"

Shen paused in shock on the spot, and Akali was also stunned.

Naturally, they are familiar with this name.

Shen's father, the previous Twilight Eye of the Kinkou Sect, was named Kushuo.

But didn't he die seven years ago?

Death in the rebellion of Zed.

Hearing this name, Jie was stunned for a short time and sighed, seemingly not surprised: "I should have thought of it earlier. Who else but him has such ability to rescue the Golden Demon without anyone noticing?" .”

"What are you talking about?" Shen's eyes immediately turned to Jie, his voice was a little cold, and then he took a step forward and stared at him closely, "What are you hiding? Why do you say that?"

Akali was calmer at this time. She recalled: "Could it be that the master is still alive? Think about it carefully, we did not see his body seven years ago."

She was present when the rebellion occurred.

They watched Jie walk out with blood, and then ordered the people of Shadow Stream to attack the Kinkou Sect. Before everyone had time to react, the battle was about to break out.

They were then caught off guard and had to flee from the Kinkou church.

During the whole process, I only heard one sentence from Jie's mouth.

The bitter saying is dead, and the shadow flow should stand.

"I wanted to keep it hidden."

Zed glanced at Ahri and knew he couldn't hide it from everyone anymore.

Shen finally couldn't calm down, reached out and grabbed Zed's collar, and asked, "What are you hiding?!"

Zed looked at his trembling eyes and finally slowly told what happened that year.

When the war broke out that year, in order to maintain the doctrine of the "Way of Balance", the Kinkou sect could only watch the people of Ionia being persecuted.

Zed didn't want to just watch, so he sneaked into the forbidden area and touched the forbidden power, which is now known as shadow magic.

After this, he left the cult and gathered a group of warriors willing to follow him to fight against Noxus.

Until he realized that his strength was not enough, he thought of the forbidden power again.

However, because of his departure, many people in the Kinkou sect who could not sit idly by could not stand it anymore and left the sect one after another to fight against Noxus.

Even Shen, the son of Twilight Eyes and the one who has high hopes as the next Eye of Twilight, is secretly heading to the front lines to fight.

He realized that if this continued, sooner or later, the Kinkou Sect would fall apart like this, and no one would be able to protect the balance between the spiritual realm and the real realm.

Therefore, he made a promise of loyalty and staged a stage of rebellion and suspended animation with Master Kushuo. In this way, Kushuo can also use taboos to protect Ionia.

Because of his rebellion, the members of the Kinkou sect united to fight against Shadow Stream.

And in these years, Shadow Liu has actually been secretly working for Ku Shuo, silently bearing all the stigma.

"That's what happened."

When Jie said this, he didn't say any more.

“It turns out there were many people like me back then.”

Akali finally realized why there were so few people in the Kinkou Sect now, and why Shadow Stream was no match for them.

It's just that she was still young at the time and didn't understand all this.

Such a thing actually happened back then?

She couldn't help but look at Shen again, and realized that she seemed to have blamed him wrongly.

It turned out that he didn't just sit back and watch, but quietly participated in the battle?

At this time, Shen's hand holding on to Zed's collar weakly let go. He opened his mouth several times but could not utter a single word.

He didn't want to believe it all, but he vaguely knew that this was the truth.

Jie didn't lie.

In fact, he had doubts, but Zed's disguise was so perfect that he ignored all the details.

At this moment, everything is filled.

Suddenly, Shen raised his head and looked at Ahri: "Where is he now? I must ask clearly, did he really do all this?"

Ahri shook his head: "I can only see Jhin's memory, and his memory did not explain Ku Shuo's whereabouts."

Zed took over the words at this moment: "Maybe I know."

If it hadn't been for today's accident, he could have kept this matter a secret.

Even if he guesses the truth in the end, he can solve it alone.

He had hoped that one day, Shen would discover the truth for himself.

But now it seems that it can no longer be hidden.

Everyone immediately decided to go and find out the mastermind behind the scenes.

The place where Kushuo is located is not difficult to find.

Over the years, he has been operating in the shadows. And formed the Brotherhood to fight against Noxus.

Yes, Kushu is the real master of the Navoli Brotherhood. At the same time, he is also the behind-the-scenes controller of the Shadow Stream Sect. Jie is the master of Shadow Stream, but because of the promise he made back then, he also has to obey Ku Shuo's orders.

It can be said that the order to harm the Kinkou Sect was given by Kushuo himself.

After hearing all this, Shen was silent all the way.

It is located two hundred miles west of Nanwu Town.

At the foot of a high mountain, there is a brotherhood camp.

At the same time, it is also the hiding place of Kushuo that Zed guessed.

A large number of Brotherhood members gathered here to practice patrols like an army.

"There are so many people, let's take a detour."

Akali's proposal was quickly approved by everyone.

Although they came to attack the enemy, it was not easy to break in directly through the gate. There were too many people.

Ku said it should be on the mountain. Everyone came to the back of the mountain, looked at the steep cliff, and decided to climb up from here.

For ninjas with superb physical skills like Jie and Shen, this kind of thing is naturally easy.

It's even easier for Irelia. She only needs to release the blade, step on it with both feet, and control it with spiritual power to fly directly, eliminating the need to climb mountains.

Looking at Akali and Ahri who were looking up at the mountain in a daze, Lu Qi stepped forward directly, picked them up by the waist with one hand in each hand, and then jumped up to the top of the mountain.

"ah!"

Both girls exclaimed, and then they realized it was Lu Qi, and suddenly they felt less nervous.

At this time, Lu Qi felt as if he was flying, holding the two girls effortlessly, stepping on the air and leaping a hundred meters high in an instant.

When Shen, Zed and Irelia saw this, they immediately chased after him.

They regarded the steep cliff as flat ground and moved extremely quickly.

Irelia flew straight up, not slower than Lucci.

Not long after, Lu Qi had brought Akali and Ahri to the top of the mountain. After putting the two girls down, he was not even out of breath.

After standing firm, Akali looked back at the bottomless cliff: "Coming up now? It's too easy."

Lu Qi smiled and said, "Why don't you stay and experience it again?"

"I don't think it's necessary." Akali coughed lightly and walked forward.

Ahri's face was slightly red, and she seemed to be still immersed in the feeling of being hugged by Lu Qi just now.

Then, Irelia also flew up on the blade and landed on the ground with the same ease.

Then there is calamity and caution.

Everyone continued to set off towards Kushuo's camp on the mountain.

The place was not difficult to find, and they soon found a towering temple on the mountain. There were some brotherhood members patrolling around the temple.

After quietly disposing of these members, everyone headed directly to the entrance of the temple.

After entering the temple, there was only one person inside.

Shen's eyes immediately condensed.

I saw an old man with white hair and a thin body sitting on the seat on the high steps. He had his eyes closed and seemed to be taking a rest.

This person is suffering from hardship.

To his left, on the high platform, was a strange box.

In that transparent box, there was a black liquid.

On his right hand, a red spar floated slowly, which turned out to be a world rune fragment.

Lu Qi couldn't help but squint his eyes. It turned out that the rune fragment he sensed was actually here.

As if sensing the person coming, Ku Shuo slowly opened his eyes. His face was pale, but his eyes were bright and at the same time extremely calm.

"Oh? There are also new faces."

After seeing the group of people, Kushuo seemed a little surprised and said to himself: "It seems that Jhin's plan has failed."

Hearing his words, Shen was suddenly stunned, feeling that many of the questions he wanted to ask along the way no longer needed to be asked.

It seems that everything is meaningless.

Ku Shuo is indeed the person behind Jhin, and he instigated everything.

"Why did you deceive me? Over the years, Shadow Stream has been commanded by you like a cold-blooded weapon, carrying all kinds of stigmas. My purpose is to let you lead Ionia to stability. Now that the war is over, why do you still create confusion?"

The robbery was different, he had to ask, so he took a step forward.

"If we don't create chaos, where does the Brotherhood's reputation come from? How can people place their hope in the Brotherhood?" Ku Shuo looked at Jie indifferently.

"So you deliberately released the Golden Demon?" Zed seemed to have thought of something, "You were the one who actually released the information about the Noxian spies, right? At the same time, it was you who wanted the Golden Demon to deal with us."

Although the war is over, news has been circulating among the people that Noxian agents have secretly lurked in Ionia.

The war on the surface is over, and the war behind the scenes has begun.

People can never get peace and are in fear every day.

Now that I think about it, such rumors were deliberately spread by Ku Shui.

"Yes. You will eventually interfere with my affairs if you are alive. And you have no use value and must be eliminated." Ku Shuo did not intend to hide it, and said calmly: "The war is far from over. I have already done what I promised you. Arrive. But Ionia can no longer return to what it was before."

"What I want to bring to the Born Land now is true stability. Only by unification, and only by me becoming the king who everyone kneels down in Ionia, can all this be achieved. For this day, all means are It is inevitable. Whether it is Elder Nanwu or Irelia, they are all obstacles that must be kicked away. For this, I am also willing to make sacrifices."

He looked at Shen, then looked back, "It's just that it seems now that Jhin didn't succeed."

Shen clenched his fists and stared up at the man who felt strange to him: "Father, why are you like this?"

"It seems that you already know everything. Why did I change?" Kushuo raised his hand and recalled: "Indeed, I once watched myself being swallowed up by desire. Watching my ambition expand day by day, This feeling is really overwhelming.”

The corners of his mouth curled up, as if he didn't care that his image in his son's eyes had collapsed.

The moment he decided to give up his former identity, his family ties were also abandoned.

Shen's fists clenched tighter and tighter, never feeling so strange.

The peaceful and elegant father in his mind completely collapsed at this moment.

"I didn't want to deal with the Kinkou so early. But now that you know the truth, there is no need to continue this drama."

As Ku said, he stood up from his seat and picked up the box that was within reach with his left hand. "Jin is indeed disappointing. He didn't even solve one of them. But since you all came to the door together, it saves me the trouble of solving them one by one." ”

After opening the box, there was a sudden burst of black light inside, and an ominous and dark atmosphere suddenly filled the place.

Lu Qi dodged and rushed out, heading towards Ku Shuo as fast as possible. Everyone also started to move at this moment, but it was much slower than Lu Qi.

In the blink of an eye, Lu Qi's sharp sword had been slashed involuntarily, but Ku Shuo did not panic at all in the face of this fatal blow and smiled faintly.

The red rune on his right hand spurted out magic power and instantly formed a protective barrier, blocking the attack.
