Chat group: People are in the sandbox, the system just ran away

Even as Li Xuan and Sarah rested, the sounds of bloodshed within Bilgewater never ceased. The streets of Bilgewater were stained with the blood of desperate men, transforming it into a veritable bloody city. The death toll from this war surpassed even the combined total of the Soul-Devouring Nights of the Shadow Isles invasion over the past decade.

One cannot help but sigh that no matter what kind of monster it is, it cannot compare to the casualties caused by human beings fighting among themselves.

After resting, Sarah came out to see this situation. She was not surprised at all. It was normal for a place like Bilgewater to have such a big fight for profit. There was nothing strange about it.

She didn't feel pity for these people. In Bilgewater, not everyone was evil. Killing ninety-nine out of a hundred might leave one or two innocent people, but killing nine out of ten would surely leave some behind. Bilgewater was a city made up of seventy percent black, nineteen percent gray, and one percent white.

Faced with this situation, Sarah had only one thing to do: suppress all disobedience and transform this sinful city. This was the decision she made after rejecting Li Xuan's suggestion to go to Zaun. After all, Bilgewater was her hometown. Although it was in chaos, Sarah didn't want to give it up if she could help it.

Chapter 412: First Arrival in Ionia

Li Xuan stayed here for a few days, and seeing that Sarah had suppressed the chaos in Bilgewater, he did not stay any longer. After all, it is difficult to conquer the world, and it is even more difficult to defend it. After the chaos in Bilgewater disappears, it will be a greater test for Sarah.

After all, to suppress the chaos in Bilgewater, Sarah only needs to use force. There is no need to think about so many things. In one word, kill!

But after Sarah accepted the rule of Bilgewater, there were many things to consider. To govern and change a city, it is not enough to rely on force alone. It requires more of a test of a person's wisdom.

Of course, Sarah is not lacking in this regard. After all, her ability to gain a foothold in Bilgewater was only due to her force, and her brain was more critical.

But even so, Sarah was caught up in endless busyness. After all, all the affairs of Bilgewater after the chaos needed her to deal with and decide, and this was also the time for her to establish her own prestige. So Li Xuan did not disturb her and planned to go to the other side of Zaun Island, to Ionia, which was now fighting with Noxus. This was the time when the Noxian Empire invaded Ionia, a land full of mystery.

Both sides naturally noticed Zaun's sudden appearance next to Ionia. However, unlike Ionia, which remained on the defensive and remained largely oblivious to the outside world, the Roxian Empire had deep ties to Zaun. After all, as the black market beneath the port city of Piltover, Zaun was a thriving trade, with many regions thriving there. The Noxian Empire was the most powerful of these foreign powers. They were naturally the first to know about Zaun's migration; even the people of Piltover, who lived so close by, didn't understand it as thoroughly as they did.

Zaun's migration and the sudden appearance of this island next to Ionia both occurred on the same day. Noxian decision-makers naturally wouldn't consider this a coincidence; it was clear there must be a connection. It was highly likely that Zaun's final destination was this suddenly appearing massive island.

Although this fact is unbelievable to the Noxians, after eliminating all possibilities, this is the only possibility, and the Noxian Empire can only choose to believe it.

Therefore, despite the proximity of the newly born Zaun and its seemingly habitable environment, Noxus did not immediately turn its military forces against it. While the newly born Zaun was far weaker than the now-powerful Ionia, the sudden attack of Janna, the wind goddess, filled them with fear. If the Noxians could understand the previous use of the monsoon to carry off all ordinary people from Zaun, and had the confidence to fight Janna, then the mysterious appearance of this massive island completely exceeded their imagination.

Even the current rulers of the Noxian Empire, Swain, the Strategist, and Leblanc, the Black Rose, were equally impressed. The power behind this newly created island was beyond their comprehension. Only the legendary Titans of Mount Targon could possess such immense power.

Therefore, both Swain and LeBlanc ordered that they must not set foot on the island easily, and must not take any violent measures, so as not to anger the powerful storm goddess Janna.

But even so, the Noxian Empire did not gain nothing. When Janna left, she did not take away those crazy thugs and villains who had lost their humanity, but left them where they were.

Janna looked down on these people, but the Noxians welcomed them. They valued strength and violence, and welcomed the remaining thugs. With nowhere else to go, they were brought to the battlefields of Ionia by Noxus. They quickly made a name for themselves, especially those villains who had entered the realm of the supernatural. Mutated and possessing powerful physical abilities and remarkable resilience, Mundo roamed the battlefield like a chariot. Although the alchemist Singed didn't enter the battlefield, the poisons he created struck fear into the Ionians, forcing the Ionian army to retreat step by step on the front lines. They were beaten to the point of abandoning their weapons and armor, and the battle line was on the verge of collapse.

Li Xuan came to Ionia in this kind of environment. Due to the invasion of the Noxian Empire and the defeat on the front battlefield, even the people in the small villages in the back were sad and worried. They were busy packing up and preparing to leave their homes for the safer rear.

Therefore, Li Xuan, who looked like he was out for fun, seemed particularly out of place, but the others had no intention of asking him questions. After all, they were busy running away and had no time to deal with Li Xuan, a stranger.

As for whether Li Xuan is a spy of the Noxian Empire, there is no doubt about it. Their small village is not worth the Noxians' effort. They can just rush over directly. He is probably a tourist from other regions. After all, the mysterious land of Ionia was very beautiful in the past. Many people from other regions came to visit. This person should be the same. He just can't leave because of the war between Noxus and Ionia.

".Village Chief, something bad has happened. The Noxians are surrounding us."

Just as the villagers were hurriedly packing their luggage, a militiaman on guard suddenly ran back.

"What? How could it be so fast? I was clearly notified that we had two days to evacuate."

The old village chief, who was in his fifties, couldn't help but feel nervous. This was really bad. They had just started to evacuate, and even if they gave up their luggage, they probably couldn't escape.

"I don't know either, but I see that the leader on the opposite side is an extremely tall monster. The people on the front line are probably in great danger."

"There's no other way. Gather the men and gather them together. We can only resist now. Let the young people behind go first."

The village chief knew he was in grave danger today, but they couldn't just let Noxus slaughter them. They had to resist, buying time for the young men behind them to evacuate. Even if one of them could escape, it would be a blessing; that way, their sacrifice wouldn't be in vain.

Chapter 413: Roar of the Undead God of War Sion

"Speed up and crush them! Warriors of the Noxian Empire!"

The Undead War God Sion is not a Noxian of this era, but a former general who had made great contributions and killed a king of Demacia. Therefore, after his death, he was awakened by the hidden power of the Noxian Empire and continued to serve Noxus. After his resurrection, Sion has completely lost his humanity and will completely kill any enemy who stands in his way.

It was precisely because of his appearance that the Ionian defenders, who could have held out for two days, were directly defeated, leaving the Ionian people caught off guard and exposed to the Noxian army.

If someone else had led the team, most of these Ionian people would have survived as slaves, but for Sion, only dead enemies were the best.

Although these ordinary people were very unfortunate to encounter the undead god of war, Sion, they were lucky on the other hand, because Li Xuan was strolling here now, and it was obvious that Sion, who disturbed his interest, would not survive.

Due to the primitive natural environment of Ionia, wild beasts and monsters are not uncommon here. Therefore, although they are just a group of ordinary villagers, they actually conduct drills frequently. Under the leadership of the village chief, they quickly assembled a large formation. If they were only facing ordinary Noxian soldiers, it would not be difficult for them to buy some time for the evacuation of the other 430.

However, facing the powerful Sion, their obstruction would be difficult to be effective. They were afraid that as long as Sion charged, their formation would be completely broken up, and they would be at the mercy of the Noxian soldiers.

Sean obviously thought the same thing, and he immediately launched his immensely powerful and unstoppable Death Charge, confident that with this move, he could easily crush the enemy in front of him. Then he would catch up with the fleeing Ionians and bring death to them.

Unfortunately, his nearly unstoppable charge faltered mid-flight, bringing the militia, who had been forced to close their eyes and await death under the might of the Undead War God, Sion, back to their senses. Before them appeared the man they had hoped to believe was a nobleman visiting from another region. He appeared before Sion and, with a single hand, halted his relentless charge. There was no ripple, as if Sion's size and the previous tremors in the ground hadn't even occurred.

This was of course impossible. They could only say that the noble son they originally thought was too powerful. Even Sion, the undead god of war and a very famous monster in the Noxian Empire, could not make any waves in his hands.

"Who are you? Why are you blocking my way? You're not an Ionian, but do you really want to interfere in the war between Roxas and Ionia? Aren't you afraid of bringing disaster to the country behind you?"

Sean, who was always irritable and wanted to crush all enemies that stood in his way, calmed down abnormally and started talking to Li Xuan. Although he mentioned the Noxian Empire as a backer in his words, he actually gave in.

But this is understandable. After all, for Sean, this charge is his most powerful force, but it was easily blocked by Li Xuan with one hand. Even though he is irritable, others can easily understand the difference in power between the two, and Sean can't help but do it.

After all, he was hot-tempered and irritable, but he wasn't a fool. How could he easily provoke someone far more powerful than himself? He had become one of the most powerful generals in the Noxian Empire not just because of his strength, but also because of the brilliant mind hidden beneath his massive frame.

"Oh, threatening me? Noxus? Interesting. What if I insist on putting it in front of you?"

Facing Li Xuan's provocation, Sean was also angry. Although he did not want to conflict with the powerful Li Xuan, it was not because he was afraid, but because he did not want to make more powerful enemies. Now Li Xuan actually despised Noxus, the most important country in his heart. This was simply an unforgivable crime.

"Damn it, you fool. You're so self-righteous and yet you dare to look down on the powerful Noxus. I will make you pay the price."

Although he knew that he was no match for his opponent, Sean still raised his giant axe, which was taller than that of an ordinary person, and chopped it down straight away.

What is there for him to be afraid of when he is already dead? Even if he dies again at the hands of Li Xuan, the supporter behind the Noxian Empire, or rather the original founder of Noxus, the Iron Ghost Mordekaiser, will resurrect him from the cycle of despair, so Sion is not afraid of death at all.

"Oh, you think so. Interesting!"

Facing Sean's attack, Li Xuan didn't even blink, and still used the same hand to easily grab the axe blade that was falling at a rapid speed. Then he exerted a little force, and the giant axe broke into several pieces and fell heavily to the ground.

"You don't think Mordekaiser is that powerful enough to take your soul back from me, do you? You're kidding! He's just a sneaky ant. If Kindred finds him, he's dead. The wolf will tear him apart."

"Qian Jue, what? Can Qian Jue be a match for Emperor Mordekaiser?"

As for Mordekaiser, the supporter behind the Noxian Empire, some people in Noxus are his admirers and followers. For example, Swain, the current ruler of Noxus, the source of his powerful strength comes from Mordekaiser's support, and the undead god Sion is also a admirer of Mordekaiser. But similarly, for Mordekaiser, the ancient ruler, some people in Noxus do not want to see his control over Noxus, such as the Black Rose led by LeBlanc, they are very reluctant to see Mordekaiser's appearance.

"Who is Kindred? That's a good question. Kindred is the embodiment of death in Runeterra, visible only to those nearing death. Lamb is the benevolent side of the twins, wielding swift arrows to send those who accept their fate to a peaceful sleep. Wolf, on the other hand, is Kindred's cruel side, hunting down cowards who evade death, tearing apart and devouring their souls."

"Then how angry do you think Kindred would be when faced with Mordekaiser, a sinner who evaded death, violated the laws of death, and imprisoned countless souls in the cycle of despair?"

Li Xuan looked at the undead god of war, Sion, with a half-smile on his face. It was the sheer number of powerful warriors on Runeterra, coupled with several major wars, that gave Mordekaiser the opportunity to evade Kindred's pursuit and grow stronger.

Chapter 414: Irelia's Sudden Appearance

If it were a powerful world with stability and order, a guy like Mordekaiser who stole the power of the God of Death would have been captured by the real God of Death and sent to the endless purgatory long ago. It was because the Rune Continent was too chaotic. The Void invasion, the Darkin destruction, and the recent Rune War, the battles between a large number of extraordinary and powerful people made it difficult for Kindred to collect certain souls. This gave Mordekaiser the opportunity to escape Kindred's pursuit and create his own undead realm.

Now Mordekaiser can be said to have started a road competition with Kindred. Kindred absolutely cannot tolerate his behavior of wanting to create his own underworld and control his own life and death.

"So, you stupid fellow, just die, and don't even think about resurrecting. Trash like you should just die sooner rather than later. And that so-called Mordekaiser, don't even think about escaping. I'll give his place to Kindred. He's definitely dead."

Li Xuan disliked the Undead God of War Sion very much. If Sion in his lifetime could only be described as a relatively iron-blooded general, then the so-called resurrected Undead God of War was an absolute monster. Only in an environment like Noxus that worshipped power extremely could monsters like Sion and Singed be tolerated.

"I must kill you! For the king."

Hearing that Li Xuan was going to report Mordekaiser, the inhuman monster Sion was completely furious. The reason he was able to survive was all thanks to Mordekaiser's reincarnation of despair. Naturally, Mordekaiser also tampered with his soul. Sion was wholeheartedly loyal to Mordekaiser, and Li Xuan's report was likely to threaten Mordekaiser's life and death.

After all, even he who worships Mordekaiser extremely knows that although Mordekaiser is determined to pursue the position of the God of Death, there is still a big gap between Mordekaiser and the real God of Death Kindred. Once caught, death is the best option. The greater possibility is that he will end up in a situation worse than death.

"A boring, overconfident guy."

Just as Sean was about to make a move, the inextinguishable soul fire was extinguished in an instant, and his huge body fell straight down, raising clouds of dust.

At this time, the other Noxian soldiers were no longer in the mood to care about these things. Even the undead god Sion who had turned into a monster was easily killed by Li Xuan, not to mention these ordinary soldiers.

In the past, they followed the Undead God of War, Sion, and all they had to do was kill people wantonly. But now, without Sion as their strong backer, they found that they were not that brave at all. Facing Li Xuan, they could only flee in all directions.

If it were an ordinary soldier, Li Xuan would not take action. After all, it had nothing to do with him. Then, it was normal for two countries to fight and kill each other. However, this group of soldiers following Sean had long been assimilated by Sean and turned into thugs who enjoyed killing. Therefore, Li Xuan would not let go of such a being with a twisted and inhuman heart. At most, he would leave their souls a way to survive.

The sky, which had grown gloomy at some point, suddenly erupted with thunder as Li Xuan's mind moved. Each lightning bolt struck a fleeing Noxian soldier with pinpoint accuracy. Not one could escape Li Xuan's grasp.

"Thank you so much."

The old village chief who was in his fifties saw that Li Xuan had eliminated all the enemies. Although he was a little scared, he still plucked up the courage to come out and thank Li Xuan. If it weren't for him, everyone in this small village would probably be in danger today.

"It's okay. I just encountered him. I'll help. It's no big deal. You should leave quickly. Although I have eliminated Sion, there is no news about him. Noxus will definitely send someone to look for him tomorrow, so you'd better leave today."

Li Xuan waved his hand, saying it was just a coincidence, indicating that there was no need for excessive gratitude. Instead, he urged them to leave this place as soon as possible, which would soon become a meat grinder for Ionia and Noxus.

"Yes, yes, yes, I understand. I'll have them pack their bags quickly and leave in the evening for the rear."

Seeing that Li Xuan had no intention of talking to him any further, the village chief did not continue to disturb him, but went back to organize the evacuation of the entire village.

But soon, less than half an hour later, the village chief came over with a female general wearing leather armor.

Although there are some differences from the game, Li Xuan can still see that she is the current leader and leader of the Ionian resistance, Blade Will Irelia.

She had just received the news that the battle situation on the front had collapsed and Noxian soldiers had threatened ordinary villages in the rear, so she hurried over to stop it.

But just like in all stories, if it weren't for the involvement of Li Xuan, a person outside her destiny, all she would have seen after arriving would have been corpses everywhere and a heart full of anger.

"Hello, I am Irelia, the leader of the resistance against the Noxian invasion. Thank you for your help. Otherwise, I am afraid that the people of Ionia would have been slaughtered by Noxian soldiers."

"It's okay. I just saw it and took action. After all, I am their target too."

"You can't say that. Regardless, you're the one who helped Ionia. Is there anything I can do for you?"

Although Irelia expressed her gratitude to Li Xuan, there was also a hint of testing in her words. After all, as the current leader of the Ionian resistance, she had to find out the purpose of Li Xuan's coming to Ionia with the sudden appearance of a great master like Li Xuan, even if Li Xuan behaved very friendly and helped Ionia.

If Li Xuan hadn't done anything wrong, she would have made a sincere apology afterwards. It wasn't that she was being overly suspicious or unnecessary, but Ionia's current dire situation forced her to be cautious.

"Oh, that's it. It just so happens that Irelia, you're the current leader of the Ionian resistance. Could you recommend someone who can take charge of Ionia?"

"You should know that I came from the island that suddenly appeared nearby."

Li Xuan had no intention of hiding anything and directly revealed his origins and purpose. Bilgewater had already been dealt with. As the current ruler of Bilgewater, Sarah was naturally able to ensure peace between Zaun and Bilgewater. The only issue missing was Ionia.

Chapter 415: Shen's sudden attack

"what do you mean?"

After hearing about Li Xuan's origins, Irelia's expression suddenly became cautious. She naturally knew about the huge island that suddenly appeared near Ionia recently, but because of the invasion of Noxus, Ionia had not had time to send people to investigate.

Irelia didn't expect to get information about the island here.

"Well, the people living on this new island are my friend's. They originally lived in Zaun, Piltover, but recently moved here for some reason. My friend is a peace-loving person, so let me take a look at the situation of our neighbors, Ionia and Bilgewater."

"So that's how it is. Are the people living on this new island from Zaun? I know something about this city. But Zaun City probably doesn't have a unified leader."

Irelia would not believe all of Li Xuan's words. After all, compared with the invasion of Noxus, this newly appeared island was an even bigger problem. After all, it was too close to Ionia. If any conflict occurred, it would be an opponent that was more threatening than the Noxian Empire. You must know that because of the long distance and the transportation problems of troops and materials, the Noxian Empire could only exert at most half of its combat power.

They had considered trying to find out more about the island before, but the threat from Noxus was so pressing that they had to give up. Now that she had the opportunity to obtain relevant intelligence, she would definitely not let it go.

"Oh, you should have heard of my friend too. She's Janna, the Storm Goddess and patron saint of Zaun. All the people of Zaun can be considered her subjects. She couldn't bear to see a war break out between Piltover and Zaun, the two former sister cities, so she moved everyone from Zaun here."

"Is that so? I'm truly sorry. As the leader of the Ionian resistance, I had to be vigilant. I'm truly sorry."

Seeing Li Xuan's frank attitude, Irelia felt embarrassed and apologized repeatedly.

"It's okay, it's what I should do, I don't really care."

Li Xuan didn't particularly care about Irelia's vigilance. After all, it was wartime, and it was natural for her to be wary of Li Xuan, a stranger whom she had only known for a short time.

"No, you helped Ionia, but I'm so wary. It's really wrong. Please let me do something for you."

Irelia's tone was firm.

"Well, let's put this into context. I wonder if you know Twilight Eyes Shen and Apocalypse Karma. I mentioned earlier that I want to discuss coexistence issues between the two regions with the Ionian authorities, so could you introduce me to them?"

Li Xuan reiterated his request once again. Since he was already here, he might as well solve the problem once and for all.

"Is that so? Then I understand! I'll send them a message. Come back with me."

Ionia didn't think it was a problem that Li Xuan ignored her, the leader of the resistance. After all, she had only led the resistance to resist the invasion of the Noxian Empire and had no intention of gaining any status from it.

Moreover, compared to Shen, the Eye of Twilight, the leader of the Order of the Kinkou whose influence spread throughout Ionia, and Karma, the Apocalypse, who was an ancient soul that was constantly reincarnated in Ionia and possessed high prestige, she really could not represent the entire Ionia. After all, even the Parliament of Ionia was ignored by Li Xuan. He came on behalf of the Storm Goddess Janna, and he was indeed not someone that ordinary people could receive.

After Irelia scouted the movements of the Noxian army and made sure they had no plans to advance for the time being, she took Li Xuan back to their rebel base camp.

Here, Li Xuan saw many faces that were very familiar to him in the past, including the three ninjas from the Order of the Balance, Twilight Eyes Shen, Shadow Fist Akali who had not left the Order of the Balance yet, and the first and only Violent Heart Kennen in hundreds of years. For example, their mortal enemy, Jie, who betrayed the Order of the Balance and founded the Order of the Shadow. Although they had grudges and entanglements before, when facing the invasion of the Noxian Empire, they were able to put aside their grudges and join hands to fight the enemy.

Not only them, Li Xuan also saw the monk Li Qing from the temple, the brothers Yasuo and Yongen from the swordsmanship dojo, and even the patriot Kasumi from the Vastaya clan...

Xia was originally determined to change the declining clan and improve the relationship between the Vastaya and ordinary humans, but before she could take any action, the invasion of the Noxian Empire came.

In contrast, she also joined the resistance organized by Irelia. After all, if Irelia cannot stop the invasion of the Noxian Empire, their Vastaya clan will not have a good end.

Regarding Li Xuan's arrival, the others' eyes showed some curiosity, some caution, and different people had different attitudes. However, the same thing was that they all remained silent, but just looked at Li Xuan quietly.

Irelia brought Li Xuan to the leading man and woman and introduced them.
