"Li Xuan, this is the leader of the Order of the Balance you're looking for, Shen, and the Apocalypse Kalma."

"Shen and Karma, this one is Li Xuan, representing Janna, the storm goddess and protector of Zaun Island who recently appeared."

After Irelia made a brief introduction, Li Xuan, Karma and Shen greeted each other and then began the subsequent negotiations.

"Hello, what I want to know is why someone from Zaun appears in the Noxian Empire. That alchemist Singed is from Zaun, right?"

What Li Xuan didn't expect was that Shen had already attacked him before he could even say anything, targeting the group of Zusan people who had been taken away by the Noxian Empire.

"No, they are not Zaun's now."

Shen showed some disdain for Li Xuan's words.

"Are you kidding me? Are you trying to quibble? That poison-making alchemist Singed is clearly from your Zaun. Are you still trying to deceive me?"

"No, I'm not lying. They are definitely not from Zaun anymore."

"Not now? Could it be that they have been expelled from Zaun?"

Karma has lived for so long and has an extremely intelligent mind. He immediately understood the meaning of Li Xuan's words.

"Yes, when the Storm Goddess Janna moved to Zaun, she had already abandoned them and did not take them away. Perhaps it was at that time that the people of Noxus recruited them."

Chapter 416: Shen was forced to kneel

"After all, the huge losses Ionia is facing right now weren't caused by you, Zaun. Do you think I can shirk responsibility by saying this?"

Shen still looked furious.

"Be careful and don't be rude. This incident can't be blamed on Zaun. No matter where you are, it's impossible for all the people to be good. I can only say that the people of the Noxian Empire are too treacherous."

Karma stopped Shen from attacking. Compared to the young leader of the Order of the Kinkou, Karma's long-standing wisdom told her that if she kept holding on to the so-called mistakes of the past, she would lose sight of the big picture. And after all, as she said, it is impossible for every place to guarantee that all its people are good people, and Ionia is no exception. This matter cannot be blamed on Zaun at all.

However, Karma chose to keep quiet, but Li Xuan would not. It was just the wrong occasion, otherwise, with Shen's targeting, Li Xuan would have sent him to death long ago.

But he was very curious about why Shen was so targeted, and then he found out that it was because Janna's interference in Zaun violated the so-called balance of the Order of the Kinkou, which was really boring.

"Get down on your knees, you ridiculous ant!"

Li Xuandan's words contained an irrefutable force. Shen found that after hearing these words, his body moved involuntarily, and he did not listen to his command at all, and knelt down straight.

"I'm very confused. Is it because I acted too kind and easy to talk to that you got the upper hand? As an ant, you should be aware of your status as an ant."

Li Xuan mercilessly stepped on Shen's face in the mud, and he could never pick it up again. Even Kennen and Akali who wanted to move were frightened by Li Xuan's eyes and had no room to move at all.

"You're holding onto the so-called creed of the Balance, and you're unhappy with Janna's handling of Zaun? You've broken the so-called balance. How arrogant! You don't think your Order of the Balance is that powerful, do you? Ruling Ionia isn't enough, and you're trying to meddle in the affairs of other regions. How ridiculous!"

The others were initially shocked by what was happening. After all, it was unbelievable that Shen, the innately arrogant leader of the Order of the Balance, had actually knelt down. It was also clear that he was being suppressed by Li Xuan, which surprised them even more. After all, the leader of the Order of the Balance had always been their unrivaled power, and to have it so easily shattered by Li Xuan was simply too much. This was simply too much, and they were at a loss as to what to do. They could only stand there, dumbfounded, and watch the situation unfold.

Li Xuan was very dissatisfied with Shen and the Order of the Kinkou he led. It can be said that the Order of the Kinkou is the actual ruling body of Ionia. Although Ionia's combat power far exceeds that of Noxus, it was beaten like this by Noxus. Shen and the Order of the Kinkou behind him should bear full responsibility.

If the Noxian Empire had not sent some extraordinary forces, Shen and the so-called Order of the Balance would not have shown up at all. Even if they showed up now, they seemed to be working without putting in any effort.

This can be seen from the fact that the leader of the resistance army is actually Irelia. If Shen really wants to resist the invasion of the Noxian Empire, then Irelia would not be the leader. After all, Irelia is just a small noble, and it is impossible for her to command the power of the Order of the Balance. This only shows one problem, that is, the large forces of the Order of the Balance were not dispatched at all.

"What? Are you not convinced?"

Seeing that Shen seemed to have something to say, Li Xuan loosened his control a little, allowing him to speak.

"How is this possible? Why, why would you......"

Looking at Shen who stopped talking in the middle of his words, Li Xuan felt quite bored. Such a boring guy was really a waste of his time.

"You're asking why I'm so powerful, right? To ask such a question shows how arrogant Shen and the Order of the Kinkou behind you are. You actually arrogantly think you can act as an arbitrator between the two realms. Do you have the qualifications? Do you have the ability?"

"If it were just Ionia, and the Kinkou, which inherited the power of an Ascended being, could still do it without anyone else stepping forward, but to think they could become the Balancer of Runeterra with just that much power, I can only say that ignorance is bliss and they're overestimating their own capabilities. Truly, there's no shortage of idiots and conceited people everywhere!"

Li Xuan couldn't help but shake his head as he spoke. It was true that the inheritance ceremony of the Order of the Balance was perfect, and it was indeed extraordinary that it could allow the power of an Ascendant to be passed down from generation to generation. However, the designer forgot to consider the mentality of the successors. Whether it was Shen, his father Jie, or even the leaders before them, they were all bewitched by this power and unable to control themselves. They became more and more paranoid and more and more pathological.

Li Xuan remembered that Shen's thoughts when he was young were similar to those of Jie at the beginning, but he still couldn't resist the change in strength and turned into this annoying guy.

"You've only been around for a few hundred years, a sect that emerged after the Rune Wars. You've never encountered any strong enemies, so you think you're so powerful? How ridiculous! If you could ask Karma, or even Kennen 430 under your command, they'd all know that your power is barely enough to gain traction on Runeterra. Of course, if you use it to bully mortals like you do with your Kinkou, that's more than enough."

The truth is, while the Kinkou have been incredibly powerful in Ionia for the past few hundred years, they're merely a superficial force, a post-Rune Wars organization. Remember, during the Darkin's destruction, there were more than just a few Darkin trapped in Ionia. Just take Varus, the Arrow of Retribution, and Khal, Zed's apprentice, the Shadow Scythe—just two Darkin. And there are countless more Darkin who haven't been found, sealed away. Ionia's hidden power is truly immense.

Karma and Kennen were silent at Li Xuan's words. Karma, of course, understood Ionia's hidden power, but she had no obligation to inform Shen of these things. Kennen, on the other hand, was a little distraught. He wondered if he should have told the leaders of the Kinkou some things in the past. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so arrogant and hadn't messed with the wrong people today. Kennen felt that not revealing the specifics of Runeterra to the Kinkou was perhaps the worst mistake he had made since he and the original leader had jointly established the Kinkou.

Chapter 417 Li Xuan's Rage

In recent years, when the Order of the Kinkou had been facing various problems due to the increasing paranoia of Caesar and Shen, Kennen had thought about stepping forward to persuade them. However, because he was too old, although he belonged to the Order of the Kinkou, the leaders of the Order of the Kinkou found it difficult to command him. Therefore, the leaders of all generations respected Kennen on the surface, but were actually quite distant from him. Kennen wanted to find an opportunity to have an in-depth talk with Caesar and Shen, but it was difficult to find the time. Over time, Kennen gave up. After all, the lifespan of mortals is very short. In an environment like Ionia, the leader of the Order of the Kinkou would have been replaced before any major harm could be caused.

What Kennen didn't expect was that the consequence of his actions was that Shen would arrogantly provoke Li Xuan today. He knew that the name of the Storm Goddess Janna had been circulating in the Piltover area for a very long time. She was obviously a very ancient existence, and to be her friend, Li Xuan must be very powerful.

However, the fact that Li Xuan was so powerful that he could even easily suppress Shen, who inherited the power of an ordinary ascender, was still beyond Kennen's expectations. After all, this kind of performance was probably stronger than that of ordinary Protoss and Targon.

"I wonder if you can forgive this young man for his offense? I would like to apologize to you on his behalf."

Although Karma doesn't like the Order of the Kinkou very much, she is still one of Ionia's own. When facing Li Xuan, an outsider, she will still choose to come forward to protect him.

"No need for an apology. After all, it's impossible to let anyone else handle this kind of thing. But I'm here to negotiate on behalf of Janna, so I'll let this guy off. Go away, and don't be so arrogant in front of me again."

"snort!………………"

After Li Xuan released his suppression, Shen didn't say anything. He turned his head to look at Li Xuan and left in a hurry. He also understood that he was no match for Li Xuan, and he had lost such a big person today, so he might as well just leave.

"Yo! You're still not convinced! Interesting!"

Li Xuan said it was interesting, but there was an unstoppable chill in his words. This guy actually dared to show hostility towards him again and again. It seemed that he was used to being domineering in Ionia. Although he knew that he was a rookie, he was still self-righteous and always felt that there was a chance for revenge.

Are you trying to cause trouble for me over the Zuan incident? Li Xuan only needed to think about it briefly before he knew what Shen was planning.

After all, he has the Order of the Kinkou under his command, a sect that has great influence among ordinary people in Ionia. As long as he exerts a little influence, it can have a very bad impact on Zaun.

But Shen could only think about it. He didn't really think Li Xuan was so easy to offend! What a joke, he didn't have this chance.

"This person's misfortunes are caused by heaven, so he can still survive. But those who bring misfortunes upon themselves cannot survive."

As the saying goes, when the sky is murderous, the stars will move; when the earth is murderous, dragons and snakes will rise from the land; when people are murderous, heaven and earth will turn upside down;

When people work together, the foundation for all changes is established.

Li Xuan now has certain authority in this universe. After being promoted to the two-digit universe truth, the things he can influence after merging with the Dao in each world are much greater.

Now, after Li Xuan was truly angry, heaven and man worked together to determine the fate of the Order of the Balance and Shen. Originally, the invasion of Noxus would only cause a split within the Order of the Balance, but now, the Order of the Balance, which had been passed down for hundreds of years, was about to die out, and Shen would inevitably be the last leader, existing as the king of a fallen country.

Karma heard ill intentions in Li Xuan's words, but after all, Li Xuan had already given her face once, and now he didn't do much, so she couldn't say anything. She could only keep an eye on Li Xuan and not give him the chance to attack the Order of the Balance and Shen. Karma, who had spent a long time on the land of Ionia, could still guarantee this.

But unfortunately, the subsequent development of the situation made Karma completely confused. Li Xuan had no contact with the Order of the Balance who retreated to the rear and Shen, but the various problems of the Order of the Balance over hundreds of years happened to break out at the same time, and all kinds of old accounts were turned over. No matter how Shen and the Order of the Balance dealt with it, the result would always be the worst.

The Order of the Kinkou and Shen were like a small fishing boat caught in a huge wave, trapped in a desperate situation. As expected, they eventually disappeared. Karma finally heard that their leader Shen died of rage and anger due to the heavy blow he suffered.

This process made Karma feel very puzzled. Li Xuan did not take any action at all. It was as if the Sect of Balance had angered God. If God wanted the Sect of Balance to perish, it had to perish.

Karma's guess cannot be said to be right but it cannot be said to be wrong either. What is right is that the demise of the Order of the Balance was indeed God's will, but what is wrong is that this matter has nothing to do with Li Xuan. In fact, the demise of the Order of the Balance has a lot to do with Li Xuan. It is true that God wants the Order of the Balance to perish, but Li Xuan is this God.

"Okay, let's change the subject for a moment and get back to our previous topic, discussing the specific matters that will arise between Zaun and Ionia."

Li Xuan had said this, and Karma was no longer in the mood to think about the Order of the Balance. She immediately turned her attention to the real topic of the meeting.

"Because the newly born Zaun is very close to Ionia, I hope... Okay..."

Although Li Xuan did not want to handle affairs, his strength had reached the realm of full authority. Even if he was not very good at it, as long as he wanted to, there would be no problem in doing it. After all, his thinking had surpassed that of ordinary people countless times. Three digits were called the realm of full power, not to mention the realm of two digits of full authority.

As for the conversation between Li Xuan and Karma, after Shen left, there was no room for others to interrupt. Moreover, Li Xuan looked very kind now, but just now, he had directly pushed Shen, the leader of the Sect of Balance who was considered invincible by most people, to his knees. They did not dare to be presumptuous to such a strong man. After all, Shen was sanctioned because of his foul mouth.

And so, without Li Xuan's excessive demands, Karma and Shen quickly drafted a peace agreement between Zaun and Ionia, concluding this rather serious topic.

Chapter 418: The Vastaya Clan Being Targeted

"Okay, with that, the peace agreement between Zaun and Ionia is complete. It covers most of the issues. If other minor issues arise, we can just keep adding to them."

Li Xuan stood up and stretched, feeling that he had finally solved the task assigned by Jana perfectly, and even exceeded it. In this case, Jana had to reward him well.

"Yes, then let our two regions live in peace from now on!"

Karma also wore a broad smile. After all, for an ancient being like her, she could better understand the terrifying power hidden behind the newly born Zaun Island. Compared to the invasion of the Noxian Empire, Zaun, so close to Ionia, was a greater threat.

Now that she has reached an agreement with Li Xuan, she can finally put her mind at ease.

"How about this! As a celebration of our agreement, I'll help you get rid of those Zaun scum!"

If Shen's tone hadn't been so harsh, Li Xuan wouldn't have minded helping Ionia deal with these guys. After all, this 430 would undoubtedly worsen relations between the newly reborn Zaun and Ionia. It was Shen's tone that was too pointed, which drew Li Xuan's ire. The Kinkou, having received centuries of offerings and respect from Ionia, chose to work without putting in any effort when Ionia faced the invasion of the Noxian Empire, taking the money without doing any work, which really displeased Li Xuan.

They didn't like each other in the first place, yet they dared to provoke them and even harbored murderous intentions. It can only be said that Shen and the Order of Balance asked for their own destruction.

"Thank you for your help, then."

Karma also understood that this was Li Xuan's gesture of goodwill, so he gladly accepted it.

"Let me see where these guys are?"

Li Xuan's mind moved, and he discovered the traces of alchemist Singed and Mundo. It turned out that they were heading towards the gathering place of the Vastaya clan.

The principle that those who are not of my race must have different hearts is applicable everywhere, so in Ionia, the Vastaya people did not have an easy life. Most of the Vastaya people huddled together for warmth and formed a huge village. After all, even in Ionia, there would not be many races like the Vastaya people who possessed extraordinary powers, only a few thousand people, and most of them lived in this village.

This also attracted the attention of some people, such as the Noxian Empire, and the alchemists Singed and Mundo, two like-minded transformation fanatics. They were salivating over the power possessed by the Vastaya clan.

After gaining the advantage on the front battlefield of the Noxian Empire, the alchemists Singi and Degomundo immediately went to the gathering place of the Vastaya with the support of the Noxian Empire.

"Heh, so they're targeting the Vastaya? No wonder. After all, the power of the Vastaya is quite impressive for these guys."

"What? They're targeting the village?"

Xia was originally listening silently to the discussion between Li Xuan and Karma as a spectator. After all, she had heard about the new huge island that appeared near Ionia. This matter was also related to the Vastaya clan, and she had to understand it well.

But what she didn't expect was that the two bad guys, the Noxian Empire and the alchemist Singed and Mundo, actually set their sights on the village. How could this be allowed!

Although everyone in the village has considerable strength, it is still too difficult for them to face the army of the Noxian Empire.

"Greetings, sir. I am Kasumi of the Vastaya clan. Is what you just said true? The Noxian Empire's army has set its sights on the village."

Originally, apart from having a good relationship with the rebel leader Irelia, Xia's identity as a Vastaya was relatively ordinary compared to that of everyone else in the camp.

But now, she didn't care about that anymore and held Li Xuan's arm tightly. Then Xia realized her offense and let go.

"My Lord, I'm sorry. I was too anxious, so I offended you."

"Don't be so nervous. I told you I'll take care of them."

Li Xuan was not angry about Xia's excitement. After all, anyone would be nervous when hearing that their hometown was about to be attacked by the enemy army. This was human nature.

"Thank you for your tolerance."

The Vastaya are a race that has existed since the Void Age, when ordinary people from Ionia fled the Void World War. There, these human refugees encountered intelligent beings capable of shapeshifting and attuned to the world's natural magic. These psionic beings, known to humans as the Vastaya Sha'ri, welcomed the refugees into their fold, eventually giving rise to the people known as the Vastaya.

Therefore, the Vastaya clan, which has a long heritage and extraordinary bloodline, has a much better understanding and record of the world than the Order of the Balance, which was only born a few hundred years ago. Naturally, Xia has a deeper understanding of Li Xuan's strength than Shen, the Eye of Twilight.

"Alright, no need to be so polite. I'm going to head over there and take care of this army!"

"Then, could you let me go with you? I haven't been back for a long time, and I hope to go back and take a look."

Xia lowered her head and pleaded earnestly.

"Oh, that's nothing serious, just a few small things."

Li Xuan waved his hand and agreed without hesitation. After all, this was just a small task for him.

"Thank you."

Xia expressed her gratitude very respectfully. She had not expected that the furious Li Xuan would be so easy to talk to. It seemed that the leader of the Balance Sect had been too aggressive towards her.

But even with Li Xuan's easygoing nature, Xia still felt a bit worried. She wasn't actually worried about Li Xuan's ability to handle the Noxian army this time. With Li Xuan's strength, dealing with a few mortal soldiers wouldn't be a problem. It wasn't that she missed home and wanted to go back.

Instead, he was worried that someone in the Vastaya village would anger Li Xuan and draw Li Xuan's wrath, and then the Vastaya clan would be in trouble.

After all, the Vastaya had faced considerable ostracism and discrimination in Ionia, and many of them were hostile to humans. If this hostility erupted upon seeing Li Xuan, it would be a disaster.

Li Xuan naturally knew what Xia was thinking, but he didn't care. It was just the right thing to do. He didn't want to be treated hostilely for helping others. He opened the space door and walked in first.

Chapter 419: Rengar's Plan

As soon as he arrived near the Vastaya village, what caught Li Xuan's eyes was a wild atmosphere. Various kinds of half-orc-like Vastaya were walking around in front of him, including carnosaurus, simian monkeys, egrets, shapeshifters, and even mermaids in the lake nearby.

At the same time, there are many figures that Li Xuan is familiar with, such as the Pride Hunter Rengar, the Flower Spirit Neeko, etc.

At this time, they were discussing how to deal with the attack of the Noxian Empire's army. Such a large-scale action of the Noxian Empire naturally could not be concealed from the Vastaya clan who possessed various strange powers.

But after discussing it over and over again, they couldn't come up with any good solution. After all, although they were all extraordinary races on the Rune Continent, it was meaningless because there was a huge gap between the extraordinary races.

The Yodels are the strongest among the Protoss, Ascended, Targon, and other races that have entered the realm of gods. With their small number of people, they alone occupy a region with spring-like weather all year round and a very rich area.
