Runeterra: I actually know a little bit about everything

An assassin might suddenly appear from anywhere and point his weapon at the intruder's throat.

However, from beginning to end, until Zuo Chi and Ah Li arrived at the Shadow Stream's main hall, they did not see anyone, as if Shadow Stream was just an empty shell at this time.

As Zuo Chi strolled in front of the empty hall, a thought suddenly struck him. He quickly pulled Ah Li to his side.

In the next instant, a thick cloud of black mist rose from the wall to one side of the two, and a giant scythe flashing with a blood-red light pierced through the wall and rushed straight towards Zuo Chi!

In the blink of an eye, Zuo Chi gripped the Ascended Dagger at his waist with his right hand and thrust it straight out!

"Ding!"

The short sword, shimmering with golden light, clashed violently with the crimson giant scythe, producing a piercing metallic clang.

Under the immense force, both the giant scythe and the short sword in Zuo Chi's hand were forced back, and at the same time, the dark shadow behind the giant scythe slowly appeared in front of Zuo Chi.

It was a man with long hair, whose entire left arm was covered by strange armor. At this moment, the huge eye on the blood-red giant scythe in his hand was fully open, and the bloodshot eyeball stared directly at Zuo Chi!

Looking at the giant scythe in the hand of the person in front of him, Zuo Chi couldn't help but have a meaningful look in his eyes.

Kayn, Rhaast!

"Kayn, come closer!"

A hoarse voice came from the giant scythe in Kayn's hand, and at the same time, the light in his eyes grew even stronger.

"Laast, shut up! I don't need your orders!"

Kayn complained about the giant scythe in his hand without any politeness, but he also walked towards Zuo Chi.

"Intruder, who are you?" Kayn asked, narrowing his eyes as he stared at Zuo Chi.

Zuo Chi raised the short sword in his hand and smiled slightly at Kai Yin:

"Laast should tell you who I am!"

"Kayn, he possesses the power of Ascension! He comes from Shurima!"

Laast could sense the power of ascension emanating from Zuo Chi, but he could also sense that Zuo Chi was not an ascendant!

His hoarse voice came again, telling Kaiyin about Zuo Chi's abnormality.

Moreover, Laaste seemed unwilling to let Zuo Chi see him in this state, and closed his bloodshot eyes after saying those words.

Having fallen from an ascended body to this state, and now facing his own people once again, perhaps Rhaast harbors a sense of resentment.

"The power of ascension?"

Kayn raised an eyebrow upon hearing Rhaast's words.

He and Laaste had been inseparable for a long time, and he was aware of Laaste's past.

The power of ascension is undoubtedly the most fundamental reason why Rhaast is so powerful!

This force also symbolizes the past that Laastra is unwilling to recall.

After learning that Zuo Chi possessed the power of ascension, Kayn's gaze towards Zuo Chi changed slightly.

That gaze seemed to be greedy, it seemed to be fearful, but it was more like curiosity.

Kayn seems to be very interested in Rhaast's past.

But in any case, this will become a bargaining chip for Zuo Chi to stay!

Kayn stared directly into Zuo Chi's eyes and said in a deep voice, "Intruder, state your purpose!"

Zuo Chi sheathed his short sword and scrutinized everything about Ying Liu.

"My companions and I heard about the deeds of Shadow Stream, so we want to join Shadow Stream and contribute to the development of Ionia!"

"??"

Upon hearing Zuo Chi's words, Kayn looked completely suspicious.

His expression practically screamed, "You, a Shurima person, are here to contribute to Ionia?!"

However, when Kayn looked at Ahri next to Zuo Chi, he noticed that Ahri had very obvious Ionian Vastaya characteristics.

Perhaps Zuo Chi chose to side with Ionia because of Ahri.

Given this, Kayn had no choice but to temporarily believe Zuo Chi's words.

He shrugged: "If it were the future, I could agree to let you join Shadowstream directly, but right now, you still need to ask my master's opinion!"

"Why is it possible in the future?" Zuo Chi asked with some confusion.

Kayn brandished his scythe, his expression one of utter arrogance.

"Because in the future, I will become the next Shadow Master! That's what my master said!"

"Kayn, you idiot! Stop bragging and let them stay!"

"Laast, shut up! You have no right to interrupt!"

After his usual banter with Rhaast, Kayn headed deeper into the Shadow Stream's main hall, speaking to Zuo Chi and Ahri behind him.

"Shadowflow welcomes everyone who is willing to sacrifice themselves to save the country! However, whether you are qualified to stay still needs to be approved by your master and that person!"

"That lord?"

Following behind Kayn, Zuo Chi noticed the key points in his words.

Kayn's master is none other than Zed, the current Master of Shadows.

Who is that "sir" referring to?

Following Kayn, Zuo Chi and Ahri arrived at the disciples' quarters behind the Shadow Stream Hall.

Looking around the empty residence, Zuo Chi asked with some curiosity, "Kayn, have all the disciples in Shadow Stream gone out?"

Kayn nodded slightly: "However, the Shadow Disciples scattered throughout Ionia will be recalled in the next few days, because that lord has something to announce!"

"May I ask, who is this gentleman?" Zuo Chi asked again.

Kayn looked at Zuo Chi and scrutinized him from head to toe.

In the end, they actually skipped the topic altogether.

"You two can stay here for now. Master will decide whether you are qualified to stay after he returns!"

After arranging everything, Kayn, under the watchful eyes of Zuo Chi and Ahri, transformed into a shadow and merged into the ground, then quickly fled out of the hall.

Zuo Chi and Ah Li sat at the table in the room, and he kept thinking about what Kayn had just said.

That person

In the Shadow Stream, besides Zed, the master of the Shadow Stream, are there any other arbitrators?

Chapter 46 Jie has betrayed us, kill him!

Above the Shadow Stream Hall, atop a giant horizontal beam.

Kayn sat back in the shadows of the corner, with Rhaast resting on his lap.

"Kayn, what are you thinking about?"

Seemingly noticing Kayn's silence, the eyes on the giant scythe opened, and Rhaast's voice followed.

Kayn gazed indifferently at the area below the hall and said calmly, "I don't know why, but I have a feeling that that lord seems to be affected by the Shadow Tears!"

Laast paused for a moment, then realized who Kayn was referring to.

Laast said indifferently, "He's just an insignificant old man, just kill him!"

"Rayast, he's no ordinary old man from Ionia!"

Kayn looked up at the roof and continued, "He holds the power that countless people dream of!"

Laast: "."

"Never mind, Master will naturally handle these matters!"

Seemingly unwilling to discuss this further, Kayn gripped the handle of his giant scythe and asked, "Rayast, what do you think of that man just now?"

"You want to use his power to get rid of me?" Laast asked calmly.

"Heh, nonsense!" Kayn sneered. "I'm just curious whether his power is stronger or the power of the Shadow Tear is stronger!"

Without any hesitation, Rhaast immediately said, "Although I don't know where his ascension power comes from, does shadow magic even deserve to be compared with ascension power?"

"It's as if you have the power to ascend to immortality!"

"Kayn, I'm going to tear you apart!"

"Go ahead and try, Laaste!"

For the rest of the time, Zuo Chi and Ahri remained in the Shadow Cult.

As Kayn had said, in the days that followed, the Shadow Disciples scattered throughout Ionia began to return to the Shadow Order.

However, Zuo Chi still did not see any trace of Zed, the Lord of Shadows.

In the room, Zuo Chi lay on the edge of the bed, while Ah Li sat beside him, looking at him with sparkling eyes.

During these past few days, Ahri and Zuo Chi have been staying in the same room, and to pass the time, Zuo Chi tells her interesting stories about Runeterra every day.

This made Ahri's already rippled heart even more turbulent.
