At this time, in addition to the smell of blood spreading everywhere, the maple forest was full of wails and screams.

Four hundred and forty-four people, at least half of them died because of the embers.

Luffy found the talisman he used to teleport from Ember's corpse, but unfortunately, after using his magic power, he found that the talisman was no longer usable.

Apparently the number of times has been run out.

After everything on the scene was dealt with and everyone was sent out of Maple Valley, everyone returned to Ember's body again.

Shen and Zheng watched this wicked person die, although it was a little regrettable that he didn't kill it with his own hands, but his hanging heart finally let go.

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

Thinking of those who died because of the Golden Demon today, Shen couldn't help but sigh, if he hadn't hesitated back then. Nothing would have happened today.

Lu Qi didn't think so: "If a gold demon dies, there will also be a silver demon, a bronze demon, today." Nothing will change. ”

Akali nodded, "yes, what matters is who exactly instructed this guy to do all this. If you don't find out that guy, it will be a matter of time before there will be any silver and bronze demons. ”

"It's only been two months since he escaped from prison, but with so much preparation, there must be someone behind it. It's a pity we can't get the answer out of a dead man's mouth. ”

"I'll give it a try."

Ahri stepped forward, closed his eyes, and activated his spiritual power.

Lu Qi pondered slightly, the moment the golden demon appeared, he actually knew the answer in his heart.

"His life spirit hasn't completely dissipated yet, I should be able to find out."

Ahri had sensed the remnants of Ember by this time, and as she absorbed them, memories flooded into her mind.

The first half of Kada Ember had a miserable life, and because of his ugly appearance, he was not welcome everywhere he went.

And he has his own psychological problems, and in such daily discrimination, he has completely become a psychopath.

He regarded killing as art, and the moment when blood bloomed was as beautiful as a flower.

From the beginning of the abuse of small animals, to the last killing, he became more and more bold.

Ahri looked at these memories indifferently, and soon, she found the key clues.

Ember was indeed rescued, and had already made contact with the person behind the scenes, and that person was.

"Bitter said."

Ahri opened his eyes, his red lips slightly open, and he spat out two words.

"What?"

Shen was stunned on the spot, and Akali was stunned together.

Naturally, they are no stranger to the name.

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

But wasn't he dead seven years ago?

Died in the rebellion of the robbery.

Hearing this name, after a short period of stunnedness, he sighed, as if he was not surprised: "I should have thought of it a long time ago." Apart from him, who else has such the ability to save the Golden Demon unknowingly. ”

"What are you talking about?" Shen's gaze immediately turned to Zheng, his voice was a little cold, and then he stepped forward and stared at him tightly, "What are you hiding?" Why? ”

Akali was a little calmer at this point, and she recalled, "Could it be that Master Kushu is still alive?" If you think about it, seven years ago, we really didn't see his body."

She was present at the time of the mutiny.

Watching the blood-stained people walk out with their own eyes, and then ordering the people of the Shadow Flow to attack the Balance Sect, before everyone could react, the battle was already on the verge of breaking out.

They were then caught off guard and had to flee from the church of the Balanced Sect.

During the whole process, I only heard one sentence from the mouth of the robbery.

Bitterly said that it was dead, and the shadow stream should stand.

"I wanted to keep it hidden."

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

Shen finally couldn't calm down, reached out and grabbed the collar of the robbery, and asked, "What are you hiding?!" ”

Looking at his trembling eyes, he finally told the story of the year slowly.

When the war broke out, the Sect of Equilibrium could only watch the persecution of the people of Ionia in order to maintain the doctrine of the 'Way of Balance'.

He didn't want to just look at it, so he sneaked into the forbidden place and touched the forbidden power, which is now shadow magic.

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

It wasn't until he realized that the strength was not enough that he thought of the forbidden power again.

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

Even Twilight's son, the next Eye of Twilight, who has high hopes, Shin is secretly going to the front line to fight.

He realized that if this continued, sooner or later, the Equilibrium Sect would fall apart like this, and there would be no one to guard the equilibrium between the spiritual realm and the physical realm.

So, with his loyalty and promise, he and the master of bitter talk carried out a performance of rebellion and fake death. In this way, Kushu can also use taboos to protect Ionia.

Because of his rebellion, the Balance Sect unites against Shadowstream.

And over the years, Shadow Stream has actually been secretly working for bitter talk, silently carrying all the stigma.

"That's what happened back then."

At this point, he didn't say any more.

"It turns out that there were a lot of people like me back then."

Akali finally realized why there were so few people from the Equilibrium Sect now, and why Shadow Stream was no match at all.

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

How could such a thing happen back then?

She couldn't help but look at Shen again, and realized that she seemed to be a little wrong to blame him.

It turned out that he didn't completely sit idly by, but quietly participated in the battle?

Shen loosened his hand weakly at this time, and he opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't say a word.

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

robbed and did not lie.

In fact, he also had suspicions, but the disguise of the robbery was too perfect, causing him to ignore all these details.

At this moment, everything is filled.

Suddenly, Shen raised his head and looked at Ahri: "Where is he now?" I have to ask, is it really he who did all this? ”

Ahri shook his head: "I can only see Ember's memory, and his memory does not explain the whereabouts of the bitter words. ”

At this time, Zai took over: "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 find out the truth on his own.

But now it seems that there is no way to hide it.

Everyone immediately decided to find out who was behind the scenes.

It is not difficult to find where the bitterness is.

All these years, he has been operating in secret. And formed a brotherhood to fight against Noxus.

That's right, bitter 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, and he is the master of the Shadow Stream, but because of the promise he made back then, he also has to obey the orders of Ku Yu.

It can be said that the order to harm the Balance Sect was given by Ku Shuo himself.

Hearing all this, Shen was very silent all the way.

It is located two hundred miles west of Nanwu Town.

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

At the same time, it is also a hiding place for the bitter talk of robbery and speculation.

A large number of fraternity members gather here, and they 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 Xingshi to ask for guilt, it was not good to enter directly through the gate, there were indeed too many people.

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

For ninjas with superb skills like robbery and shen, this kind of thing is naturally easy.

Irelia is even easier, she only needs to release the blade, step on it with both feet, and use spiritual power to control it to fly directly, and even the need to climb the mountain is saved.

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

"Ahh

The two girls both let out an exclamation, and then reacted that it was Lu Qi, and their mood was suddenly not so nervous.

At this time, Lu Qi was like flying, and it was effortless to hold the two girls, and he had already jumped 100 meters high in an instant when he stepped on the air.

Seeing this, Shen, Zai, and Irelia immediately chased after them.

The steep cliff face was considered flat ground by them, moving extremely fast.

Irelia flew straight up, no slower than Luki.

It didn't take long for Luqi to take Akali and Ahri to the top of the mountain, and after putting the two girls down, he didn't have a trace of breath.

After standing firm, Akali glanced back at the bottomless cliff: "This is coming up?" It's so easy. ”

Lu Qi smiled: "Why don't you go down and re-experience the experience?" ”

"I don't think so." Akali coughed lightly and walked forward.

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

Then, Irelia also stepped on the blade and flew up, landing safely on the ground, just as easily.

And then there's robbery and caution.

The people continued to set off towards the camp on the mountain.

The place was not hard to find, and soon they found a towering temple perched on a hill, surrounded by patrolling Brotherhood members.

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

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

Shen's gaze immediately froze.

On the seat on the high steps, a gray-haired, thin-skinned old man sat on it, his eyes closed, as if he were resting.

This person is exactly bitter.

To his left, on top of the platform, is a strange box.

In the transparent box, there was a black liquid.

And on his right hand, a red spar slowly floated, which was a fragment of world runes.

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

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

"Oh? There are also new faces. ”

After seeing the group, Ku Shuo seemed a little surprised, and said to himself, "It seems that Ember's plan has failed." ”

Hearing his words, Shen was suddenly stunned, feeling that many of the questions he wanted to ask along the way didn't need to be asked anymore.

It seems that everything is meaningless.

Ku Shuo is indeed the person behind the embers, and everything is instructed by him.

"Why are you deceiving me? These years of shadow flow are instructed by you, like cold-blooded weapons, carrying all kinds of stigma. I'm here for you to lead Ionia to stability, and now that the war is over, why are you causing chaos? ”

He had to ask, so he stepped forward.

"Without creating chaos, where does the prestige of the Brotherhood come from? And how do people hope for the Brotherhood? Ku said and looked at the robbery lightly.

"So you deliberately released the Golden Demon?" Zai seemed to think of something, "The news of those Noxus spies was actually released by you, right?" At the same time, you are the one who wants the Golden Devil to deal with us. ”

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

The war on the surface is over, and the war on the back begins.

People have never been able to find peace, and they are worried every day.

Such rumors, now that I think about it, I also said that they were deliberately released.

"Not bad. Your life will get in my way. And you have no use value, you must get rid of it. Ku Shuo did not intend to hide it, and said calmly: "The war is far from over, and I have already done what I promised you." But Ionia is no longer back to what it used to be. ”

"What I want to bring to the Land of the First Born now is true stability. All this can only be achieved if I am the prostrate king of all Ionians. For the sake of this day, all means are inevitable. Whether it's Elder Nan or Irelia, they're all roadblocks that must be kicked out. For this, I am willing to sacrifice. ”

His gaze looked at Shen, then withdrew his gaze, "It's just that it seems that Ember didn't succeed now. ”

Shen clenched his fists and looked up at the man who made him feel strange: "Father said bitterly, why did you become like this?" ”

"Looks like you already know everything. Why did I change? Ku Shuo raised his hand and recalled: "Indeed, I have watched myself being swallowed up by desire little by little. It's a really overwhelming feeling to watch your ambitions grow day by day. ”

The corners of his mouth were hooked, and he didn't seem to care about the collapse of his image in his son's eyes.

From the moment he decided to give up his former identity, the family relationship was also severed.

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

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

"I didn't want to deal with the Sect of Equilibrium so early. But now that you know the truth, there's no need to play this play. ”

Bitterly, he got up from his seat and picked up the box within reach of his left hand, "Ember is indeed disappointing, and he didn't even solve a single one. But since you have sent it to the door together, I will solve it one by one. ”

After opening the box, there was a black light inside, and an ominous and gloomy atmosphere suddenly filled the audience.

Lu Qi directly dodged and rushed out, killing Ku Shuo as fast as he could, and everyone also moved at this moment, but it was too slow compared to Lu Qi.

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

The red rune on his right hand spewed out magical power, instantly forming a protective barrier that blocked the blow.
