The Golden Demon even called this kind of killing an art and was deeply immersed in it.
Looking at everything in front of him, Shen once again had an idea in his mind that he had to face.
Was it right or wrong for my father not to kill the Golden Demon? If he had killed the Golden Demon directly as Jie said, would these villagers have been spared?
Once upon a time, the Golden Demon had already appeared before Noxus invaded Ionia.
At that time, Master Ku Shuo led the young Shen and Jie to encircle and suppress the Golden Demon, and after expending countless efforts, they finally succeeded in capturing the Golden Demon.
At that time, both Shen and Zed saw for the first time this perverted murderer who regarded killing as an art.
He is actually a lame cripple!
And he calls himself: Kada Jhin!
In fact, Jhin had already committed numerous crimes at that time, and countless people were brutally killed by him.
After arresting Jhin, Jie's first thought was to kill him immediately. Such a demon should not live in this world!
However, just when Jie was about to attack, Master Ku Shuo stopped him.
Ku Shuo once again brought up the teachings of the Order of the Kinkou, and taught Jie to be "fearless, loveless, and hateless"!
Jhin was not killed in the end, but was imprisoned in the prison where the Order of the Balance held criminals.
Perhaps it was from this time that Jie's dissatisfaction with the Order of the Balance began to gradually sprout.
Just when everyone thought that Jhin would spend the rest of his life in prison, something happened that no one could have expected.
Just after the war between Noxus and Ionia ended, news of the murderous demon 'Golden Demon' causing chaos began to come from all over Ionia!
Jhin somehow escaped from the prison of the Order of the Balance, and his methods of killing were countless times more cruel than before!
Shen, who had just taken over as the Eye of Twilight, did not hesitate and immediately started to capture Jhin.
However, although Jhin is just an ordinary person, he has an ultimate plan that surpasses everyone else.
Every time Shen chases Jhin, he ends in failure, and Jhin is always just one step faster than Shen!
He seemed to be able to see through Shen's thoughts every time.
Whenever Shen followed Jhin's footsteps to the place where Jhin had committed evil, all that was left for him was the art of killing that Jhin had just completed.
Now, witnessing innocent mortals die at the hands of Jhin time and time again, Shen can't help but often wonder, if he and Jie had not listened to his father's teachings, but killed Jhin directly, would there be no suffering today.
Just as Shen was stunned, a thick black shadow suddenly appeared beside him.
Then, a figure dressed in ninja clothes, with a mask on his face and a shuriken on his back appeared beside him.
The moment this figure appeared, Shen pulled out the steel knife from behind and chopped it down at the man.
"Zed, I told you not to follow me! I will kill you!"
"when!"
The sharp blade that pierced out of Jie's arm collided with the steel knife, and at the same time, Jie's eyes under the mask met Shen's eyes.
Once upon a time, they were brothers as close as brothers, but now, he has become the enemy who murdered Shen's father.
And Jie never explained the reason for all this to Shen.
Just like the Tears of the Shadow that founded the religion, the Shadow Stream can only exist as a shadow behind the scenes!
After blocking Shen's steel knife, Zed said softly: "Shen, I am going back to Shadow Stream. I can no longer hunt down the Golden Demon with you."
Just like when they were young, ever since Shen started hunting down Jhin, Zed has always turned into a shadow and followed Shen.
Even not long ago, Shen was ambushed by Jhin due to his carelessness, and Zed saved Shen's life from Jhin.
Now, Jie suddenly received a message from the Shadow Sect, saying that there was an important matter and he needed to rush back as soon as possible.
So he could no longer follow Shen.
"You should have left a long time ago!"
Shen roared in anger, "This is not the same as before! Even without you, I can still catch Jin!"
Facing this former brother who is now the murderer of his father, the usually calm Shen always loses his mind easily.
He wanted to kill Jie to avenge his father, but he just couldn't bear to do that to Jie.
Hearing Shen's words, the light in Jie's eyes suddenly dimmed.
But soon, Jie's eyes were once again filled with ruthless indifference, and he turned into a black shadow, quickly flying towards the east.
Shen didn't withdraw his gaze until Jie's figure disappeared from his sight.
Slowly putting the steel knife in his hand back into the sheath, Shen looked blankly at the clouds drifting aimlessly in the wind in the sky.
After a long time, the light in Shen's eyes gradually became firm, and he turned into a stream of light, flying quickly in the opposite direction of Jie's departure.
However, not long after Shen set out, two leisurely figures suddenly appeared in front of him.
Under Shen's puzzled gaze, the man put down the fox tail in his hand and looked towards him.
"Shen, Zed might be dying!"
Chapter 48: Return to the Shadow! Kayn and Zed!
"!!"
Hearing what Zuo Chi said in front of him, Shen frowned suddenly, and subconsciously prepared to ask Zuo Chi for clarification.
However, Shen thought again, why should he care about the safety of the enemy who killed his father!
"Although I don't know why you said that, his life or death has nothing to do with me!"
Zuo Chi looked at Shen who was walking towards him, with a playful smile in his eyes.
Shen's arrogant behavior now was not in vain. After he asked Kennen about Shen's whereabouts, he brought Ahri to find him here after traveling for a day and a night.
As for avoiding the surveillance of Shadow Stream disciples and leaving Shadow Stream, this kind of thing was relatively easy for Zuo Chi.
After all, no matter how strong the Shadow Stream disciples are, how can they compare with him who has mastered the power of ascension and received the blessing of the goddess Na.
What's more, Zuo Chi also has rock magic, which is a dimensionality reduction attack on the Shadow Stream disciples who are in the hilly area.
Zuo Chi and Shen stood facing each other, and Zuo Chi said calmly: "According to my gossip, some people in Shadow Stream are preparing to force Jie to abdicate! They want to kill Jie and seize control of Shadow Stream!"
"Now that we know it, the ambush for Yu Jie has been set!"
After hearing Zuo Chi's words, the turmoil in Shen's eyes became even more intense.
He looked directly at Zuo Chi in front of him and asked in a deep voice: "How can I tell that you are not lying to me?"
"You can stay or go as you like!"
Zuo Chi spread his hands and said, "I'm just passing by here and I'm just telling you something. As for whether you will care about Jie's life or death, it seems to have nothing to do with me."
"."
After saying these words, Zuo Chi pulled Ahri up and turned away under Shen's silent gaze.
After walking a long distance, Zuo Chi did not forget to wave to Shen.
“Sometimes, there’s no shame in following your heart!”
Zuo Chi's words floated to Shen's ears along with the breeze, and the figures of Zuo Chi and Ahri quickly disappeared from Shen's sight.
After all, they had already promised Ku Shuo to encircle and suppress Jie. If they left Shadow Stream for too long, it would easily arouse suspicion, and the two of them must return to Shadow Stream before Jie!
Ahri looked at Zuo Chi's focused gaze and asked curiously, "Zuo Chi, why didn't you tell Shen that his father wasn't killed by Jie?"
Zuo Chi came back to his senses and blinked at Ahri.
"What others tell you is naturally not as shocking as what you witness with your own eyes. Besides, it's hard to say who will survive to the end."
Ali nodded, not quite understanding.
She looked at Zuo Chi, and muttered in amazement and anger:
"Who would have thought that the person pushing everything behind the scenes is actually you, the one who is above the predicament!"
"Hahaha! The boss is still good at talking!"
Rubbing Ahri's furry ears, Zuo Chi put his arms around her waist and flew onto the boulder summoned by rock magic, heading towards the Shadow Sect with all his might.
After Zuo Chi and Ahri left, Shen stood there for a long time without moving.
Originally, he was planning to continue chasing after the murderous devil Jhin, but now, his heart was shaken.
Thinking about what Zuo Chi had just said, Shen's eyes gradually became firm.
Without any further hesitation, Shen turned around and chased in the direction where Jie had just left.
Shadow sect.
The extremely depressing and solemn atmosphere lasted for three days, and finally today, this atmosphere reached its peak!
Today, all the Shadow Stream disciples transformed into black shadows and stood guard at various places outside the hall.
Inside the hall, Ku Shuo sat on the throne, quietly waiting for the figure to appear.
On the other side, Kayn was sitting on the steps below the throne with a relaxed look, holding a Darkin scythe.
Zuo Chi and A Li, because they were newcomers, just stood on one side of the hall.
Finally, under the gaze of everyone, a black shadow rose from the ground of the Shadow Hall, and a figure wrapped in a night robe appeared in the center of the hall.
The Shadow Lord, Jie, finally returned to the Shadow Stream at this moment!
Jie slowly walked out of the shadows, his eyes swept over everything around him, and finally stopped at Ku Shuo at the top.
"Zhe, my good disciple, welcome back. I and everyone else have been waiting for you for a long time!"
Ku Shuo stood up very enthusiastically and opened his arms towards Jie.
However, when faced with Ku Shuo's enthusiasm, Jie's eyes did not change at all.
He asked in a cold tone: "Master, why did the Golden Demon appear in Ionia again? Only you hold the key to the prison of the Order of the Balance!"
"Oh?"
Ku Shuo's expression paused for a moment, then he nodded nonchalantly.
"I was the one who let him out, but this was all for the future of Shadow Stream!"
