Five hundred years of stacked Q, this one Q, unique and unparalleled throughout eternity!

Yasuo fell silent, sensing the imminent destruction and the power of rebirth. Suppressing his fear, Yasuo spoke to Luo Tian:

"You didn't kill Yone!"

It wasn't a question, but rather a statement full of certainty.

Luo Tian raised an eyebrow and asked with interest:

Why do you think that?

"With your strength, you don't need to care about Yongen's existence at all. Even the Twin Swords Hua Zhan is meaningless to you."

You revealed all that just to provoke me, so that I would fight with all my might to reclaim the lost way of the sword!

"Although I do not understand your purpose in doing this, please forgive my previous rudeness to you, and I am willing to accept any punishment you may give me!"

Yasuo knelt on one knee, head bowed, and gave his answer.

Luo Tian stroked his chin and nodded slightly, saying:

"It seems that your stupid younger brother, whom Yongen calls a fool, is not as bad as he says."

Yasuo's eyes lit up, and he quickly looked up and asked, "Have you really met my brother?"

Luo Tian recalled the CG animations he had watched about Yone, as well as his few uses of her in the entertainment mode, and replied seriously:

"I've not only seen it, but I've used it many times!"

"Then...he..."

“He’s doing much better than your good-for-nothing brother.”

After a slight pause, Luo Tian looked at Yasuo, who seemed somewhat dejected, and patted him on the shoulder, saying:

"Oh, by the way, he asked me to pass on a message to you."

"What?"

"Swift wind, E has a way home!"

Chapter 86 The Loyalty of the Ronin Swordsman

"Is there a way back?"

Yasuo repeated Luo Tian's words thoughtfully, a sudden realization dawning on his eyes.

For him, leaving Runeterra and traveling in the world before him was also a search for his way home.

Before this, Yasuo would have had doubts about the journey home, since no one can say for sure where the road leads when traveling across the world.

But after Luo Tian demonstrated his understanding of Runeterra and Yone, Yasuo suddenly felt at ease.

In his view, such a powerful Luo Tian must have a way to return to Runeterra.

He also has the opportunity to return to Runeterra and find the real culprit who killed Elder Soma.

Thinking of this, Yasuo suddenly knelt down in front of Luo Tian, ​​performing a dogeza (a traditional Japanese kneeling posture).

"Yasuo has offended you in the past, yet you still helped him rediscover his swordsman's heart. I am unworthy of such kindness!"

Now, Yasuo, knowing his sins are grave, shall serve you faithfully and be at your beck and call!

Yasuo didn't speak fast, but every word seemed to convey a certain determination.

The sheathless blade, which Luo Tian had casually tossed to the ground, was swept by a gentle breeze and fell into Luo Tian's hands. He held the famous sword with both hands and raised it high above his head.

This is how a wandering samurai shows his loyalty, and for Yasuo, it's the only reward he can offer right now.

Luo Tian watched Yasuo kneel with a smile in his eyes, without showing any feigned refusal.

If he hadn't already intended to recruit Yasuo to help Yin Qianyu, why would he have helped Yasuo rebuild his swordsman's heart?

Just over ten minutes earlier, he had been Yasuo's assassination target.

Thinking of this, Luo Tian gently grasped the sheathless blade with his right hand, the long sword trembling slightly as if some kind of ritual had been completed.

"Get up!"

Luo Tian gave the order in a gentle voice.

Yasuo stood up from the ground, and Luo Tian handed the unsheathed blade back to him.

"You can keep this unsheathed blade; weapons mean nothing to me."

Yasuo took the unsheathed blade and slammed it down, saying:

"Yes!"

After doing all this, the huge hole behind Yasuo, which had been smashed open by the Soul Drain Strike, began to show signs of healing.

The erosion caused by the Soul-Sucking Strike is entirely without origin, and will eventually be gradually consumed by the erosion of the world's rules.

However, due to the terrifying abyss that stretches for thousands of miles in the void, many powerful figures in the capital have already secretly begun to trace the source of this terrifying abyss.

Even from the direction of the temples of the three major religions in the capital, there were faint, otherworldly beings casting inquiring glances toward this place.

However, Luo Tian himself was not too concerned about these prying eyes.

The capital city has been established for thousands of years, and the secrets of various noble families within it are countless. Layer upon layer of special formations cover most of the capital city, making it impossible for such spying to pinpoint the exact location.

Furthermore, with the restoration brought about by the world's rules, even a true god cannot easily trace back to the Gathering of Heroes.

Compared to that, Luo Tian was more curious about the person who had manipulated Yasuo to assassinate him.

"Who exactly gave you the mission to assassinate me?"

Luo Tian asked a question.

Upon hearing this, Yasuo respectfully bowed his head and said:

"Reporting to my lord, this mission comes from a steward of the Dayin Sword Dao Association, who previously recruited me."

This Great Yin Sword Dao Association, backed by powerful nobles, has practically monopolized all the transmigrators who have mastered swordsmanship throughout the Great Yin Empire under the guise of recruiting and cultivating swordsmanship geniuses.

The association extracts extraordinary systems from these transmigrators and uses those with exceptional aptitude to experiment on them in order to research entirely new extraordinary systems.

Luo Tian frowned slightly, somewhat surprised, and said:

"The Great Yin Empire has no shortage of extraordinary systems, so why would they seek a new one?"

Yasuo's face also showed doubt, and he was somewhat uncertain as he held the unsheathed blade in his hand:

"I've only vaguely heard that this matter might be related to the realm above demigod."

Luo Tian nodded slightly, no longer dwelling on the matter of the new extraordinary system.

His gaze drifted towards the headquarters of the Otherworld Management Committee, and Luo Tian said softly:

"The Kendo Association, is that right?"

In fact, Luo Tian knew very well that he had no chance to provoke this so-called Sword Dao Association when he first arrived in the capital, and it was not at all necessary for them to send out a Saint-level swordsman to assassinate him.

The only possibility is that it happened to Yin Qianyu.

Whether it's the nobles who are hostile to Yin Qianyu, or those who want to take advantage of Yin Qianyu's husband's identity, they may all target Luo Tian.

Based on this, it seems that this Kendo Association is a pawn in the hands of some powerful noble family.

Previously, I had seen the Kendo Association's headquarters building among the dozens of buildings surrounding the Otherworld Management Committee headquarters.

Unlike forces like the SoundSky Media Group and the Knights Alliance, the Kendo Association did not send anyone to try and win over Luo Tian when they saw him reporting to the Otherworld Management Committee.

The attitude displayed by the other party was quite condescending, looking down on other forces, suggesting that the nobles behind them were not ordinary people.

"In that case, there's no point in going directly to the Yang Kendo Association headquarters building after get off work."

They can't all be in the headquarters building, and the nobles behind it will be more cautious because of the Kendo Association's incident; they might directly target me.

"If you don't kill the snake, you'll only get hurt. So the next goal should be to find the powerful nobles who are hiding behind the scenes and then wipe them all out in one fell swoop."

Thinking of this, Luo Tian began to miss that immortal city again.

"If only all the powerful and wealthy could be like the Immortal Lord, gathering a bunch of monsters and demons in the wilderness to build a city."

There's no need to hold back; just destroy the city and its inhabitants, and everything will be fine.

Just as Grandpa Qin, who had just regained consciousness, approached and was about to greet Luo Tian, ​​he heard Luo Tian talking to himself.

The words made Grandpa Qin's eyes widen, and he almost fainted again in the next moment.

Fortunately, having already experienced four sudden injuries in recent days, Mr. Qin has developed some resilience.

After gritting his teeth and punching himself hard in the chest, breaking several ribs, his fragile heart finally felt a little better.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

An old man's cough sounded beside him, and Luo Tian then remembered that there was an old man named Qin buying soy sauce.

Faced with Yasuo's assassination attempt, Grandpa Qin did not hesitate to sacrifice himself to block the knife. Regardless of his motives, this friendship is ultimately worthy of respect.

"Uncle Qin, it's been a long time!"

Luo Tian greeted Grandpa Qin warmly with a smile.

Grandpa Qin, clutching his broken ribs, forced a smile onto his aged face and said:

"Mr. Luo, I never expected that we would meet again in the capital. What a coincidence!"

However, only Grandpa Qin himself knew how much bitterness was hidden in that forced, aged smile.

Chapter Eighty-Seven: I also sprang from a stone!

Luo Tian didn't notice the bitterness in Old Master Qin's smile, nor the hint of teasing in his tone:

"Meeting is fate!"

Grandpa Qin, standing to the side, could only respond repeatedly:

"It's truly fate! Fate!"

After speaking, Grandpa Qin looked at Yasuo, who was standing next to Luo Tian, ​​with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

He had just fallen unconscious and did not witness Luo Tian subduing Yasuo, and at this moment he still had doubts about Yasuo's identity and motives.

Luo Tian noticed Grandpa Qin's gaze, smiled and nodded, then said:

"This is Yasuo, one of my newly recruited bodyguards. He was quite offensive to Master Qin before."

After speaking, Luo Tian's voice turned cold.
