Legends of Runeterra

Presidium, in a basement somewhere in the city.

Jie, along with a group of elite disciples, stood quietly in front of a circular magic circle.

He had received a secret letter several days ago stating that Li En had completed his mission and was about to return to Presidium.

As a disciple of the former leader of the Order of Balance, Master Ku Shuo, Jie has mastered a lot of esoteric knowledge. Li En asked Jie to set up a coordinate, and he was about to return to Presidium by walking in space.

If this method is used, it’s not Li En’s fault.

You have to know that Runeterra itself can easily give birth to top demigods like Ornn, Volibear, and Avinia.

As the 'first land', Ionia is the source of magic for the entire Runeterra. The situation in the high-dimensional space is too unpredictable, fantastic and bizarre.

In addition, we are now in the midst of war, and the spiritual realm is becoming increasingly chaotic.

The most convenient and stable method is to set up coordinates.

"Om~!"

A crack appeared in the space above the magic circle, and Li En stepped out from it.

"Lord Li En!"

"Long time no see, Zed!"

Li En nodded to Jie who was bowing, then looked at all the disciples with a smile on his face.

"It seems that the Shadow Sect is developing well. Thank you for your hard work during this period."

"Your Excellency is too kind. If it weren't for the material support from Shuoji Temple, Shadow Stream wouldn't have developed so fast!"

“Haha, okay, don’t be so modest, even if you have support, it still depends on your own ability.

I have heard of Shadow Stream's reputation, and they are doing very well, I can even say that they surprised me."

Amid the slightly surprised looks of the disciples, Li En patted Jie's shoulder.

"Yes, my lord!"

"By the way, how is the situation at the United Resistance Conference?"

"The meeting is being held at the Zan family's house. According to the scheduled time, the meeting has already started for twenty minutes."

"Is that so? Let's go there now without further ado."

Li En nodded, knowing that he still wasted some time in the chaotic mental realm.

He immediately took Jie and a group of Shadow disciples and left the basement and headed for Zan's house.

...

In the Zan family land, the spacious indoor dojo was converted into a meeting room.

Rito, Irelia, and Zelos of the Zan family.

Meimu, the leader of the "Pruning" branch of the Order of the Balance, and her husband Tano.

Master Yi of the Wuji Sword School now looks to be only in his thirties.

In the corner, there were three figures, two tall and one slender, wearing traditional Ionian costumes with hoods covering their faces, standing at the back.

As well as representatives of major sects and forces in Presidium, everyone gathered together.

But at this moment, looking at the representatives sent by various forces in the city of Presidium, Rito and others looked a little ugly.

"I'm sorry, Master Rito. After several days of discussion, we all agree that we shouldn't force a fight to the death with Noxus, so..."

"So you are going to withdraw from this alliance, give up resistance, and let Noxus occupy Presidium?"

The hot-tempered Mei Mu took a step forward, with obvious anger on his face, his eyes annoyed and with a hint of disbelief.

"Haha~! Master Meimu is wrong. We are not giving up resistance, but keeping a low profile and conserving our strength."

As a representative of the forces in the city, Ajiwa stroked his gray beard and said with a smile.

"Noxus has nothing but military power, but in reality they are just a group of ignorant people who lack education.

Aren't they always searching for all kinds of ancient things? When Noxus enters the Presidium, we will visit their generals with the tome and some unimportant antiquities.

With the help of our vast and profound classics, we can surely save them from ignorance and educate them.

By then, we can easily resolve this war without firing a single shot or exerting any effort. Isn’t that wonderful?”

"Yes, yes. Master Ajiva is indeed far-sighted and can easily come up with such a good idea."

"Master Ajiva's words make sense. This method can prevent the disaster of war in Presidium. It is really a great thing that benefits the people!"

With the support of the people around him, Akiva's face became more and more confident, and his eyes swept across the people opposite him.

The Zan family, 'Master of Swords' Rito's reputation may seem impressive, but they are just a small family in the countryside.

Those who were hunted by Noxus fled to Presidium. Otherwise, if they had not actively resisted Noxus all along, they would not even be qualified to attend today's meeting.

You stinky outsider, running to Presidio to escape!

The Balance Sect had long heard of Master Ku's accidental death.

Although the Order of the Balance did not admit it openly, rumors suggested that it was his disciple Jie who did it.

For such a thing to happen to a thousand-year-old sect shows how much the inheritance of the Balance Sect has declined.

It's ridiculous and pathetic, but there's nothing to be afraid of!

Then there is the Wuji Sword Sect.

Master Yi and his fellow disciples from Barughe, who suddenly appeared, were indeed incredibly powerful.

But these are just a bunch of brutes who can only use swords, and their strength only goes so far. Facing the Noxian army this time, they are totally not enough.

If their sword sect really had stronger masters, the Wuji Sword Sect would not be so unknown, and Baruja's Noxian army would have been expelled long ago.

Therefore, the Wuji Sword Sect’s magnanimity is just like this. If they don’t know how to adapt, they will bring about their own destruction sooner or later!

Raising his chin slightly, Ajiwa looked at the people opposite him.

"Master Rito, what do you think of my proposal?"

Looking at the confident representatives who were blindly praising Akiva without any shame, Mei Mu laughed out of anger.

Just as she was about to step forward and let the other party know what the "Shadow Fist" was, Rito beside her raised his hand to stop her.

"Master Ajiva, I just have one question."

"Oh? Master Rito, you can say whatever you want!"

"It's simple. When Noxus enters the city, which of your masters will go to visit their generals, spread the wisdom of Ionia, and teach them?"

"this..."

Akiva choked up at Rito's question.

Looking at Akiva who was suddenly speechless, and the representatives of various forces who were cowering behind him, Rito already had some understanding in his heart.

"Master Lito, please be patient. We will discuss this matter in the next meeting."

"Master Ajiva, when Noxus enters the city, they are not here to be guests. The people in the city will be devastated by the flames of war!"

Before Ajiwa could say anything, a wealthy businessman with a big belly appeared behind him.

"Master Lito is wrong. My caravan brought back news that in many Noxian-occupied areas, people's lives have not changed much except that they are occasionally conscripted to build military buildings. There are even fewer bandits!"

"Haha~! I see! I understand!"

A mocking smile appeared on Rito's face.
