Chapter 502 Visiting the Lord of Shadow Stream

In the middle of the dangerous Sea of ​​Watchers, the islands where many provinces are located together form a land called the "First Land". This is Ionia, a land of outstanding people.

But with the invasion of Noxus a few years ago, the peace here was completely broken.

The balance between the material realm and the spiritual realm is broken, the land no longer protects the people, and the harmonious coexistence between man and the spirit of nature is no longer there.

However, problems with the land itself are not the culprit that troubles the Ionians.

When Irelia of House Zan rose up in the Battle of Navoli, she led the Navoli resistance to a painful counterattack against Noxus, and won the final victory.

Noxus retreated under the new Grand Commander, and Irelia broke away from the leadership of the Navoli Resistance.

Suddenly losing their leader, the leaderless warriors had no idea what the fate of Ionia would be, until a careerist reorganized the Navoli Resistance Army behind the scenes, established the Navoli Brotherhood, and cooperated with the Shadow Stream Sect. cooperating.

Li Lin stood in the northeastern part of Navoli Province, facing the mountains where glacial meltwater flows. The former Kinkou Sect has been occupied by Shadow Stream.

[Except for some ports on the southern coast and Ferrol Island, today's Navoli Province is completely under the control of the Navoli Brotherhood and Shadow Stream. 】

[It seems that due to the influence of the expansion of the Twin Cities, the Navoli Brotherhood and the Shadow Stream Sect have made many moves recently. 】

[According to their latest trends, their next target will be Zhiyun Province. 】

It was so many years earlier, and I don’t know how deeply Ku said has been eroded by the Tears of Shadow.

Li Lin thought secretly.

The Tears of Shadows are the source of Zed's control of shadow magic. They originated from the Shadow War at the end of the Rune Wars a thousand years ago, which was the same period as the Eternal Nightmare and Nocturne.

The Kushuo Master is the former Twilight Eye of the Kinkou Sect and the father of Shen, the current leader.

After several years of betrayal by his favorite disciple, Ku Xing was "killed" on the surface, but in fact he stepped behind the scenes and took charge of the overall situation. The disciple who was renamed Jie took the lead and took all the "blame".

Li Lin didn't know when this old guy was eroded by the Tears of Shadows. Anyway, based on his personal impression, he didn't have much of a good impression of this old guy.

With thoughts in his mind, he quickly passed the steps leading to the top of the mountain. In just one minute, he arrived at a temple halfway up the mountain.

But before he could shout to express his intention, countless three-edged round darts were fired from all directions.

Li Lin had no choice but to hold up the defensive barrier. As the blade collided with the blue-white energy barrier, they turned into black smoke and dissipated, leaving no trace.

Seeing that an attack was ineffective, several invisible shadows split from Li Lin's own shadow and suddenly emerged from the surface.

Li Lin frowned, not giving them a chance to attack. The infinite armor scattered a circle of plasma current, instantly dispersing all the magic around him.

"I am Li Lin, Speaker of Piltover. I want to speak to Zed." He paused, "I sent my subordinates to deliver a letter a week ago."

The words gradually fell, and a long silence fell in the air.

After a while, the mountain door slowly opened, and two shadows that looked like rising black smoke reappeared in front of the door, making a "please" gesture to Li Lin.

"The Lord of Shadow Stream invites you." One of the shadows said in a hoarse voice.

Li Lin flew up the steps without ceremony and directly entered the huge front yard of the Shadow Stream Sect.

The scanning system of the armor detected the auras of no less than 20 strangers, among whom there were at least four or five powerful ones hiding behind the eaves and various bunkers.

"You don't have to hide, I can even subdue the shadow demon Nocturne. Your shadow magic can't hide in front of me."

As soon as he finished speaking, a shadow emerged from the dark room and quickly stood in front of Li Lin.

The next second, the shadow clone changed places, and in the blink of an eye, a burly man wearing light armor, a red cloak, and a ferocious magic mask appeared in his field of vision.

The man was carrying two shurikens similar to the three-edged darts that had just attacked Li Lin on his back. His arms were wearing silver arm armor, and the wrist blade sheaths on the back of his hands seemed to be able to pop out in the next second and cut the person's throat instantly. hidden weapon.

This outfit is all too familiar to Li Lin - the Lord of Shadow Stream, Jie.

"Li Lin of Piltover, since you have given up your identity as an Ionian and chosen another city-state, why do you want to come back?"

Jie's tone was not friendly, even though Li Lin had already sent a mechanical engineer to deliver a letter, announcing his arrival in advance.

He has always despised those who neglected their duty at Ionian posts, and the vastaya who wavered in their stance.

"Deserts" like Li Lin who abandoned their hometown to escape the war were even more of a thorn in his side.

If it weren't for the probing from the Ninja Regiment's followers just now, he found that he couldn't defeat the man in front of him who was wearing weird armor and looked very much like the rumored Hex Technology. Jie would not have come forward to talk to Li Lin.

“It wasn’t my intention to run away from home and if I hadn’t taken the boat to Piltover seven years ago I wouldn’t be here today.

"The invasion of Noxus began, and the peace of the First Land was broken. I believe you and I are very aware of the actions of many provincial councils in Ionia."

Giving up resistance in order to maintain that imaginary balance...

Zed secretly clenched his fists.

The war lasted for three full years before he realized that this approach of no resistance was a big mistake.

Although he openly broke with the Kinkou in order to gather effective forces to fight against Noxus, what was lost in the First Land could never come back.

Seeing that Jie knew he was wrong and didn't say anything, Li Lin continued: "You must know my idea of ​​​​creating the League of Legends. The invasion of Noxus is nothing, there are greater threats to our future.

"Today I personally came to visit you, just to give you the respect you deserve. When the League of Legends is established, we must put aside our past grudges and build the last defense front of mankind together."

A red light appeared in the position of the eyes of the robbery mask, "Why should I trust you?"

"You have to believe it."

Li Lin glanced wide and focused on the statue on the side of the yard that he saw when he first entered the door.

Without even raising his hand, the back armor of the Infinity Armor unfolded and fired a plasma cannon towards the statue several meters high.

Before Jie and his followers of Shadow Stream could react, the statue was hit by a blue-white energy ball and immediately fell into pieces, turning into countless tiny pieces and spreading smoke and dust.

Jie has not yet broken with Master Kushuo and actually killed him with his own hands.

For him now, stronger means must be used to suppress him.

"what have you done?"

Zed responded and looked in the direction of the statue. He raised his hands and the wrist blade popped out with a clang, his eyes flashing fiercely.

Not only him, but the Shadow Stream Cult members who had been hiding in the shadows all fled into the shadows and came forward, surrounding Li Lin in the center.

What they did just now was a provocation to them.

However, just as they stood firm, all the metal weapons including daggers, daggers, kunai, and darts on everyone were separated from their bodies.

And those who wore light armor were unable to move their bodies and were completely pulled by the magnetic force.

While everyone was in a hurry and didn't know what was happening, all these weapons gathered above Li Lin's head.

"What did you do?!" Zed asked again, raising his voice to cover up his fear of losing so many brothers.

"Your weapons are of no use to me." Li Lin said calmly, "The reason why I came to you is simply that Shadow Stream has made a lot of contributions to Ionia, but you seem to have gone astray."

He paused for a moment and chuckled: "Ku said, he has been corrupted by the tears of shadow. Everything he did to Ionia was to satisfy his sick and twisted desire to control. It's a shame that you still trust him so much."

When these words came out, the calamity was like falling into an ice cellar. The expression under the mask was filled with fear. His mouth was wide open, but no words came out.

How did he know that Kushuo was still alive? !

"Think about it carefully, Zed."

Before the figure was completely covered by the blue-white light and disappeared, Li Lin left his last words: "In three weeks, the first League of Legends meeting will be held at the War College in Piltover."
