The Glory of Noxus.

"It is to open the passage to Shadow Island!"

After hearing LeBlanc's answer, Huo Jixing and Swain's faces froze. After looking at each other, they couldn't help but fall into silence.

Shadow Isles!

Huo Jixing let out a light breath, and suddenly many fragments of memories from his past life and the secret information of the Reiser Garrison Corps emerged in his mind.

Since he became the leader of the Reiser Garrison, he would read many ancient letters in his spare time to learn the secrets of the Valoran continent.

The Shadow Isles are among them!

According to the letter records, Shadow Island's original name was Blessed Island.

With the rich resources of the ocean and the ancient magical knowledge, they fostered a noble and enlightened civilization.

Many allies and envoys also frequently visit Fukumitsu Island because of its extraordinary magic and fine items.

But more than a thousand years ago, within the bowels of Fukumitsu Island, an unprecedented magical disaster shattered the barrier between the material and spiritual realms.

Let the two have a fusion effect!

In an instant, a horrific magical disaster swept in, causing all the beautiful lives on Fuguang Island to wither.

As for the specific circumstances of the disaster, the outside world knows very little.

Because no survivors were able to walk out of the overturned Fukumitsu Island, and no words were passed down.

The destruction of Fukumitsu Island seems to have become an eternal mystery, shrouded in a veil of mystery.

However, the destruction of the Blessed Island caused many exquisite magical items to fall into the hands of people with ill intentions.

This is the key to desire!

It was these magical items that directly triggered the most massive Rune War in the history of Valoran.

In the years that followed, the Rune War intensified, and many forces joined the war.

The Noxian Empire was also established.

There were extraordinary people in power who experienced the horrific events of Fukumitsu Island.

Before they died, they left behind some information buried in history, secretly pointing to the underground of Helia in Fuguang Island, which is also the source of the black fog.

Finally, after sorting out a lot of information, the Noxus Empire believed that this disaster might not be accidental, and named it -

Curse of ruin!

Now, the prosperity and brightness of Fukumitsu Island are long gone.

In its place, a boundless, malevolent black fog permanently lingers over the archipelago.

Even the land itself is polluted by the black fog energy.

Any mortal who dares to set foot on these bleak shores will have their life force slowly stolen away.

This then attracted the insatiable, predatory undead, and reduced them to lifeless husks.

And the souls of those who died in the black fog were cursed.

Their souls will never find peace or liberation, bound to this nightmarish land.

And he can only wander in the black fog, enduring endless pain and torture, becoming a lonely ghost on the island.

Because of the existence of the black fog and the curse, the Blessed Islands have a new name, the Shadow Islands.

This name is like an invisible shackle, closely linking the island with darkness and evil.

Whenever people mention this name, they feel a chill rising from the bottom of their hearts, as if they were swallowed by endless darkness.

Huo Jixing stared at the black skull in LeBlanc's hand, knowing in his heart that what LeBlanc said might be true.

It was with the help of this skull that Spider Queen Elise traveled safely between the Noxian Empire and the Shadow Isles, bringing back ancient objects belonging to the Shadow Isles.

Combining these, Huo Jixing believes that the black skull must be related to Shadow Island.

LeBlanc must also know some ancient secrets about the Shadow Isles.

"Open the passage to the Shadow Isles?"

Huo Jixing's eyes were fixed on Leblanc's face, and he noticed the smile on the corner of her mouth.

At this moment, many questions and thoughts surged in his mind, but he forced them all down and waited for Swain's answer.

Once LeBlanc's plan is implemented deep beneath the capital of Noxus, a space passage to the Shadow Isles will be opened.

Then, Huo Jixing could foresee that the vicious black fog lingering in the Shadow Island would surely surge in.

The final result was that the capital of Noxus fell into the black fog.

The vast majority of Noxians living in the capital will not be able to avoid this disaster and will become wandering ghosts on the Shadow Isles.

"You answer it!"

Swain, looking a little tired, looked deeply at the black skull, then nodded slightly to Huo Jixing.

After experiencing the battle in the underground castle, he seemed to have seen through many things and had a slightly different attitude towards Huo Jixing.

"Is this question thrown directly to me?"

Huo Jixing looked puzzled, and noticing Swain's determined expression, he couldn't help but feel pressured.

On the other side, Leblanc did not dare to move under the threat of thunder.

But when she saw the attitudes of Huo Jixing and Swain, she had a bad feeling in her heart.

After a moment's silence, she continued to speak softly, revealing a very ancient secret to add weight to her position.

"Qian Jue's awakening and departure means that there is no one guarding the Shadow Isles anymore!"

After saying this, LeBlanc looked at Huo Jixing and Swain with burning eyes, hoping that their attitude would change.

Rumor has it that Kindred patiently watches over the undead imprisoned beneath the Shadow Isles.

In this land filled with darkness and despair, all living things that refuse to rest, or intend to leave, will eventually be buried by sheep bows or wolf teeth.

And now, Kindred has left the Shadow Isles to hunt down Mordekaiser, the man who stole the power over death.

When the passage to Shadow Island is opened, the many terrifying beings on the island will undoubtedly awaken, and the situation may get out of control.

Huo Jixing recalled Hecarim and Thresh whom he had faced before and fell silent. The thunder at his fingertips leaped and was always aimed at Leblanc.

He knew in his heart that his decision would likely affect and change the fate of the empire.

The Black Rose's withdrawal from the Noxian Empire is indeed an extremely tempting condition.

But now, the trend cannot be changed.

After the massacre in the capital, even if the Black Rose could make a last-ditch effort, it would never be a match for the Trifarix Council.

If Leblanc was allowed to take away the Armor of the Underworld, the unknown dangers that would be caused would be something that Huo Jixing did not want to see.

The Empire and the Black Rose have become incompatible.

If Leblanc obtains the power of death from the Iron Armor of the Underworld, she can make a comeback.

The Empire will surely suffer revenge from LeBlanc and the Black Rose.

For example, in the underworld, the fearless undead army commanded by Modkaiser left a deep impression on Huo Jixing.

If Leblanc had a legion like this, plus the remaining black roses.

It will definitely make the empire uneasy.

"Sorry, but the Noxians will never compromise on any terms!"

Huo Jixing looked directly at Leblanc and refused in a firm voice.

The empire is regaining its former glory, how can it compromise because of Leblanc's threat!

Hearing Huo Jixing's answer, a hint of admiration appeared in Swain's eyes.

The future of the empire is destined to belong to the young.

Upon hearing this, Leblanc's pupils constricted, and she looked at the purple lightning that fell from the sky, crushing her skull with a resolute look.

Just as Huo Jixing thought, after the Black Rose was slaughtered, Leblanc's thousand years of hard work went to waste.

She must obtain the Iron Armor of the Underworld in order to compete with Hojixing, Swain and the Noxian Empire.

Click!

Leblanc's slender fingers emitted a golden light and crushed the black skull.

In an instant!

A cold and dark black mist surged out from the broken skull.

However, within a short moment, it filled the soul shaft, permeating and corroding the walls of the well.

However, the purple thunder that was descending from the sky was unable to interfere with Leblanc's movements due to the layers of blooming purple-gold rose petals.

Click! Click! Click!

Leblanc raised her eyes and looked at Huo Jixing, and her slender fingers continued to exert force to crush the black skull fragments in her hand.

Rumble!

At the same time, Swain attacked LeBlanc without hesitation.

The blood-red demonic power transformed into blood-red dragons, pouncing towards Leblanc who was surrounded by purple-gold rose petals with bared fangs and claws.

Click!

The purple-gold rose petals shattered under the impact of thunder, lightning, and demonic power, and disintegrated in all directions like fragile glass.

Then, the thunder and demonic power intertwined together, shattering the cold black fog and hitting Leblanc who had no time to dodge.

【Flowers in the Mirror】!

The rose bloomed, and Leblanc turned into countless swaying petals, disappearing into the black mist along with the aftermath of energy.

"Another clone?"

Huo Jixing raised his eyebrows slightly and began to understand why Modkaiser was so wary of Leblanc.

This guy's illusion technique is so lifelike that it is impossible to tell which one is her real self.

"Then just destroy this area."

Huo Jixing stared coldly at the space passage filled with black fog.

The rose petals danced in the chaotic air currents, like a sad elegy.

He lightly grasped the spiritual wind and walked in the air, as if holding a thundercloud storm, descending into the space channel connecting to the Shadow Island.

"Destroy!"

Huo Jixing let out a light cry, and the spiritual wind in his hand drew a perfect arc and slashed down lightly.

Rumble!

Behind him, the White Tiger of the West appeared, its platinum eyes filled with anger, and countless purple thunders poured into the space channel like the collapse of heaven and earth.

The cold black fog that surged in from the Shadow Island collapsed as soon as it touched the purple thunder.

Those ghosts and spirits that followed were also annihilated in the pouring thunder and lightning storm.

Even the many rose petals that LeBlanc transformed into were not immune to this destructive force.

They instantly shattered and turned into dust when touched by the thunder storm.

"Got you!"

Huo Jixing's eyes moved, and he turned sideways to look at the location of the Underworld Iron Armor.

At this moment, Leblanc happened to appear behind the Hades Iron Armor and reached out to take the armor away.

"Ok?"

Realizing that she had been exposed, Leblanc stopped hiding and chose to take direct action, trying to reach the Iron Armor of the Underworld.

"This is mine!"

An elegant smile appeared on Leblanc's charming face, as if she had already seen the scene of herself successfully seizing the Iron Armor of the Underworld.

At this critical moment, a red-gold flaming sword light came first and burst into life before her eyes.

Sonorous!

The Vermilion Bird is crying in the south.

Lingfeng was in a rapid state, preparing to chop off Leblanc's outstretched left hand.

However, Leblanc took precautions in advance, retracted her left hand, and the tightly grasped Dark Flame Torch burst into evil flames, resisting Huo Jixing's fatal blow.

However, the terrifying power from the Dark Flame Torch directly blew her away.

[Malicious Demon Seal]!

Looking at Huo Jixing who was chasing her relentlessly, Leblanc hurriedly chanted a spell and mobilized the magical energy in her body.

The next moment!

Golden petals condensed in front of him, circling around and heading towards Huo Jixing who was chasing him.

Each petal contains tremendous magical energy. They spin and dance in the air, condensing into beautiful and solid flowers.

Snapped!

The flames raged and the petals shattered.

Huo Jixing's attack was fierce and violent. With just one strike, he shattered the newly formed flower.

He was about to continue the pursuit, but what was left for him was a golden rose that slowly faded away.

[The Demonic Shadow]!

Leblanc left the soul shaft directly through the spatial coordinates left in advance and appeared in the back garden of the underground castle.

"Huo Ji Xing!"

Leblanc looked at Huo Jixing, who was carrying thunder and holding spiritual wind, with a resentful look, and spoke word by word, with anger and unwillingness flashing in her eyes.

After the fight and observation just now, she realized that she could not take away the Iron Armor of the Underworld. She could only choose to leave and do it slowly.

"Haha, I hope you can block the passage to Shadow Island!"

Leblanc looked towards the Soul Shaft with a dark gaze, then turned and disappeared into the shadows.

Inside the Soul Shaft.

The dark fog was everywhere, covering up the mottled and dim light.

Leblanc's figure disappeared into thin air like a ghost, leaving only broken petals as a sign of her existence.

Huo Jixing was somewhat worried, so he continued to send down purple thunder, bombarding possible hiding places around him.

He was well aware of Leblanc's cunningness and made sure to clean up every suspicious spot.

After a while.

Huo Jixing looked around but saw no sign of Leblanc. He did not relax but became more alert.

"have they gone?"

He was a little hesitant, but the most important thing now was to stop the black fog from spreading over the Shadow Isles.

Huo Jixing looked at the Underworld Iron Armor and decided to let it float in the Soul Shaft temporarily while he went to help Swain.

The area where the black skull was broken was covered with cold mist.

And in the center of the black fog, a space passage with faint light is slowly expanding and moving towards the surroundings.

The dark and cold black fog surged in from the Shadow Isle like a flood.

In front of the space channel, Swain, who had activated the demon sublimation state, was trying his best to resist the black fog.

Under his control, the flock of crows surrounding him opened their mouths and greedily devoured the diffuse mist.

But there was too much black fog, and the flock of crows gradually felt exhausted, and the black fog they swallowed had a subtle effect on Swain.

Rumble!

At this moment, a thunder storm came down, instantly annihilating the black fog in the space channel.

After driving away Leblanc, Hojigen came to assist Swain and stop the raging fog.

Although there was thunder falling from the sky, illuminating the dark space.

But the vicious black fog of the Shadow Isles seemed to be endless and kept coming.

There are also many ghosts and spirits unique to Shadow Isles.

They came along with the fog, bringing with them a strange aura and terrifying power.

These ghosts have been imprisoned in the Shadow Isles for countless years, wandering around.

At the same time, Huo Jixing also sensed a familiar breath in the black fog and was ready to take action.

Da da! Da da! Da da!

Perhaps he was afraid of the raging thunder storm.

The sound of horse hooves trampling from the dark fog always lingered outside the thunder.

Dread Knight!

Huo Jixing looked through the black fog through the light left by the falling lightning and saw the familiar Undead Knight.

These dread knights belong to the Iron Order of Hecarim, the Shadow of War.

He was brave and fearless in life, but after death he turned into an undead spirit, continuing to trample on the living and rob and kill ghosts.

They will appear wherever the black fog appears, slaughtering the living and reminiscing about the long-lost glory.

"It's you, Hecarim!"
