After pursing her lips and thinking for a while, Ahri stretched out her big snow-white tail in front of Zuo Chi.
Noticing Ahri's actions, Zuo Chi winked at her.
A blush appeared on Ahri's pretty face, and she murmured softly: "I'll let you touch me for a while as a reward, and you continue to tell me stories!"
Zuo Chi sat up from the bed instantly, a bright smile appearing on his face.
"It doesn't matter whether you touch the tail or not, the main thing is to continue telling the story!"
"Hmph~!"
Ahri gave Zuo Chi a displeased look but did not retract her big tail.
However, just when Zuo Chi was stroking Ah Li's big tail and preparing to continue telling yesterday's story, his brows moved slightly.
The next second, the door of the room was knocked and Kayn's voice came from outside the door.
"That gentleman wants to summon all of us. This is your chance!"
"Oh?"
Inside the room, Ali and Zuo Chi looked at each other, then stood up and walked out of the room.
"Is Jie back?" Zuo Chi asked Kayn at the door.
"That adult didn't seem to have called back the master!"
Kaiyin led the way and said, "He doesn't seem to want my master to know what he is going to do next!"
Following Kayn all the way to the Shadow Stream's hall, Zuo Chi looked forward.
At the front of the hall, there was a rather luxurious throne, and on the throne, there was an old man with gloomy eyes!
Unlike Kayn, the shadows surrounding the old man were extremely dense, as if they were the embodiment of shadow magic.
Under the old man's gaze, Zuo Chi and Ahri followed Kayn to the back of a group of Shadow disciples dressed in black.
The old man's eyes were focused on Zuo Chi and A Li, his voice was unusually enthusiastic, and his words made Zuo Chi stunned.
"You two, welcome to the Shadow Sect! I am Kuaishou!"
"!!!"
Zuo Chi's expression suddenly froze, and he looked at the old man above in disbelief.
Master Kushuo! ?
Didn't he die at the hands of robbery?
Why did he appear in the Shadow Stream at this moment? And he also learned the forbidden shadow magic?
As if he didn’t see the shock in Zuo Chi’s eyes, Ku Shuo continued: “Ionia today is at the most critical juncture of change!”
"You two, are you willing to practice the teachings of the Shadow and firmly defend Ionia?"
As Ku finished speaking, the Shadow Stream disciples present also turned their eyes to Zuo Chi and Ahri.
Under the gaze of everyone, the two nodded.
"Then let us welcome the new members to the Shadow Order!"
"."
From the beginning to the end, Zuo Chi had a very magical feeling.
Is that all?
According to Zuo Chi's understanding, the Shadow Stream is very similar to the Order of the Balance in terms of recruiting disciples, and the conditions are extremely harsh because they need to test the affinity with shadow magic.
But now, how come it’s over after just a few words?
After the recruitment ceremony, Shangfang's Kushuo put away his uncomfortable smile.
He looked at all the Shadow Stream disciples below, and his tone became extremely distressed.
"My children, I have called you back this time because I have something extremely sad to announce."
Under everyone's gaze, Ku Shuo said in a deep voice:
"Zed betrayed Shadow Stream!"
"!?"
The moment Ku Shuo's voice fell, a hint of disbelief flashed in the eyes of the Shadow Stream disciples present.
Ku Shuo seemed to have been prepared. He continued, "According to my investigation, Jie violated the teachings of the Shadow Stream and colluded with the murderous demon 'Golden Demon'! The murders that have occurred recently all have the shadow of Golden Demon and Jie!"
In the hall where you could hear a pin drop, Ku Shuo stood up from the throne and announced his decision in a stern voice:
"For those who betray the Shadow Stream, the only option is to kill them!"
“After killing Zed, I will personally lead the Navoli Brotherhood and the Shadow Stream! By then, Ionia will usher in true unification and truly become a militarized empire that will never be invaded by foreign enemies!”
"And all of you here will become Ionia's greatest contributors! Enjoy the worship of thousands of people and possess supreme power!"
Having said that, Ku Shuo stopped, and his dry eyes quietly examined the Shadow Stream disciples below.
When Zuo Chi heard this, a look of understanding appeared in his eyes.
Ku said that he had just said so much, but in the final analysis, the last two sentences were his real focus!
Did Zed betray Shadow?
It doesn't seem to matter.
The important thing is that Ku said he wanted to empireize Ionia, and those who followed him would become absolute heroes of this empire and possess supreme power!
As for Jie, this person who will become a stumbling block, just kill him!
It has to be said that every word that Ku Shuo said firmly grasped the psychology of everyone present.
Most of the Shadow Stream's disciples are war orphans whose families were destroyed in the war. They are almost morbidly obsessed with keeping Ionia from foreign invasion.
As for rights, that is what countless people dream of!
At the same time, Zuo Chi also understood why Ku Shuo had let him join Shadow Stream so easily. After all this fuss, he was planning to use him as cannon fodder!
Above, Ku Shuo was still looking at the Shadow Stream disciples.
After a long while, he said calmly: "Those who want to stand at the pinnacle of power with me, stand in the east of the hall! Those who are not prepared to be with me can stand still or leave Shadow Stream at will!"
As Ku Shuo's voice fell, the disciples below became completely agitated.
There was a strong sense of confusion in everyone's eyes, but there was also a deep desire hidden inside.
Finally, without knowing who took the lead, many disciples began to walk towards the east side of the hall.
However, there are also some people who disdain to be associated with Kushuo and turn into streams of light and rush outside the main hall.
However, not long after they left the hall, shrill wails were heard from outside the hall.
It is obvious that Ku Shuo has arranged other killers besides Shadow Stream!
"Are you trying to inform Jie? That won't do!"
Above, Ku Shuo whispered lightly.
"!!!"
Seeing this scene, the last bit of psychological defense of the disciples who were still hesitant was broken, and they all walked towards the east side of the hall.
In the end, the only ones left were Zuo Chi, Ahri, and Jie's most beloved disciple - Kayn!
Ku said as he examined the three people below with a gloomy gaze, and spoke lightly.
"Kayn, as long as Zed dies, the position of the Shadow Lord will be yours! And after Ionia is unified, I will give you supreme power!"
"Oh?"
Kayn suddenly smiled: "So, I really can't die now!"
"Haha, I believe you can make the right choice!" Ku Shuo continued.
Without further hesitation, Kayn also walked towards the east side of the hall.
However, just as Kayn took the first step, the blood-red eye on the scythe in his hand slowly opened and glanced at Kushuo above.
At this point, Zuo Chi and A Li were the only ones left there.
Naturally, there was no need for them to hesitate, and they stood up and followed Kayn.
Seeing that everyone chose to follow him, a morbid smile appeared on Ku Shuo's face.
"Then next, we should shout that traitor back!"
Chapter 47: Steel Blade and Soul Blade! Zed and Shen!
About two days later, outside a small village in central Ionia.
"Whoosh!"
A gray shadow flashed by, and then a figure in navy blue armor appeared outside the village.
The figure was carrying two weapons on his back, one was an ordinary steel knife of the Order of the Balance, and the other was a special long sword with an illusory blade.
Soul Blade can cause special damage to monsters in the spiritual realm. It is also the identity symbol of the Twilight Eye of the Order of the Balance!
A steel knife, a soul blade, the identity of the person in front of him is self-evident.
It is the current Eye of Twilight - Shen, who inherited Master Ku Shuo's position after his death!
At this time, Shen followed the breath he had been pursuing and came to the outskirts of this small village.
Just as Shen raised his head and looked towards the village in front of him, his body suddenly began to tremble violently, and his hands tightly clenched the handles of the steel knife and soul blade!
Just in front of him, in the small village that used to be quiet and peaceful, there was no sound at all.
Densely packed corpses were scattered everywhere in the village, no one was spared, whether they were the elderly, women, or children!
These corpses were hung on the trees in the village, their bodies pierced by tree branches. And where the branches and flesh intertwined, flowers carved out of flesh and blood were emitting an extremely strong bloody smell.
The entire village and hundreds of innocent civilians died in front of Shen in an extremely cruel manner!
Even Shen, who had followed his father since childhood and always implemented the Doctrine of Balance in himself, was almost losing his mind at this time.
I don’t know how many times this has happened. The cruel murderer “Golden Demon” has become more and more excessive, and his methods of killing innocent people have become more and more inhumane.
