Shen finally became the new Eye of Twilight - when Master Kushuo did not designate a successor, both Jie and Shen were originally qualified, but now Jie has become Jie. When he received the news,

Shen automatically becomes the Eye of Twilight.

Ku Shuo's relic was handed over to Shen through the hands of the expelled Kinkou warriors, but Shen, who took over the steel blade and inherited the invisible soul blade, was full of doubts in his heart.

What are you doing?

Shen actually knew something about Tears of Shadow - he knew very well that that power was a taboo among taboos for the Kinkou Sect.

After all, there is balance between light and shadow. Shadow Devouring Light obviously completely deviates from the doctrine of balance.

In Shen's perception, Jie is a rule-abiding person. He is always able to weigh the pros and cons very well. His behavior of using Tears of Shadows rashly is a bit strange no matter how you look at it.

Could it be... to protect the Kinkou Temple?

With Ku Shuo dying in battle, if he did not use the forbidden power, I am afraid that the Noxians would occupy the Kinkou Temple and destroy all inheritances - this is undoubtedly something that Jie cannot accept. Perhaps it is for this reason that he

Did you use forbidden power?

But if that was the case, why did the Ring expel those Kinkou warriors who didn't embrace the Shadow?

At this moment, Shen was really filled with questions.

The doubtful Shen could not even practice daily meditation. After simply settling down the people who had escaped from the Kinkou Sect, he gritted his teeth and finally chose to return to the Kinkou Temple.

Shen had a lot of questions and wanted to ask for advice.

……………………

The night is dark.

The former Kinkou Temple is now completely dark - after the Shadow Stream took over, the entire Kinkou Temple was quickly shrouded in shadow.

Shen originally wanted to enter the Kinkou Temple silently through the spiritual world, but after getting closer, he discovered that the spiritual world here had been distorted by shadows, and it was no longer possible to find the ring quietly through the spiritual world.

It's possible.

In desperation, Shen could only adopt the most primitive method and take the right path.

Thank God I didn't change the door lock.

Dojo, lecture hall, main hall, side hall, monastery, canteen...

The entire Kinkou Temple gradually became unfamiliar in Shen's eyes - there was no longer a pleasing balance here, replaced by endless darkness. Under the suppression of shadow energy, Shen felt uncomfortable everywhere in his body.

In the main hall, Shen found Jie in meditation.

Compared to a few days ago, Jie's appearance has changed drastically - his face is still the same, but due to the change in temperament, Jie looks completely different from before.

"You're here?" Just when Shen was thinking about how to speak, Jie opened his eyes first, "Why, you're not willing to give in?"

"What are you talking about?" Shen frowned, "Jie, what's wrong with you?"

"Call me Zed." Zed corrected Shen's title, "I am no longer the Jie I was before - now I have embraced the shadows and will no longer maintain that ridiculous balance."

"I know the situation at that time was urgent." Shen looked a little embarrassed, "Be careful—"

"It's a calamity."

"Okay, Jie." Shen spread his hands and looked at his brother, "If it were me, I would also use that power. It's not a problem... You don't need to leave the Kinkou Sect for this."

"Put away your naivety, Shen." Zed waved his hand impatiently, "I said, I no longer want to maintain that ridiculous balance - the reason why I left the Balance Sect is that I saw a brand new path.

."

"A new road?"

"You know what." Zed approached Shen and looked at him with an unusually cold look, "Violence may not solve all problems, but enough violence can solve all people who have problems."

"Stop joking." Shen shook his head, not flinching at all from Zed's eyes, "Violence can never fundamentally solve any problem. Even if the person who caused the problem is killed, the problem itself will still exist!"

"But after that, you won't be able to see it." A sneer appeared on the corner of Zed's mouth, "It's like... the master will never see how much power I have now."

"What are you talking about?!" Shen's tone finally lost its calm tone when he heard Zed talking about his father in such a sarcastic manner, "The power of shadow is corroding your soul - Zed, you must get out of this state quickly!

"

"That's just what you think." Zed easily separated a shadow clone, and he and the shadow clone each put an arm on Shen's shoulders, "If I am being corrupted by the shadow, are you also imprisoned by the balance?

Woolen cloth?"

"No--"

"If not, why do you have to change your name every time you participate in the volunteer army's actions?" A smile appeared on the corner of Zed's mouth, "You subconsciously think that this is not in line with the meaning of balance, but at the same time, you think it is the right choice."

"not like this--"

"Or do you think you are not the Eye of Twilight?" Zed did not give Shen any chance to tell the difference, "Are you going to indulge yourself once before taking over this responsibility?"

"what are you saying……"

"I'm just stating some facts." The smile on Jie's face grew wider. He caught the hesitation in Shen's heart and began to press forward step by step, "I know you, Shen, just like I know my past self. You can't hide it.

I, you have long had doubts about the balance——"

"Similarly, you can't hide it from me!" Shen, who was speechless, suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Jie's arm, "I know very well what kind of person you are - if it weren't for some reasons, you wouldn't be able to accept it.

The power of shadow!"

With that said, Shen used the joint skills he had learned for many years, hoping to simply suppress Jie.

However, Zed changed places with his shadow clone without any warning, and the next moment, a cold war blade was placed on Shen's neck.

"You think you understand me." Zed's tone turned cold again, "But that was just me in the past, the only ring - and now I am the Lord of Shadow Stream, the King of Shadows, and Zed!"

The cold blade made Shen's hair stand on end. He originally thought that Zed would subconsciously fight with him, just like he had trained thousands of times in the past. When the time came, he would be able to take the opportunity to persuade him and let him return from his lost ways.

Return to equilibrium.

Unexpectedly, Zed used the shadow spell neatly, and after switching places with the shadow clone, he directly restrained Shen.

Could it be that...he is really completely different from the past?

Shen froze on the spot.

After a while, Zed seemed to sigh. He dropped the short knife at Shen's feet and turned around to make way.

"For the sake of our last friendship, you can leave."

Turning around, Shen took a deep look at the situation, which was very different from the past. Finally, he bent down and picked up the short knife, and then silently chose to leave.

The night is still dark.
