Chapter 448 Ruins of Kosha Village
"Zhi Yun..." Hearing this place name, Shen suddenly let out a breath, like the last breath of gasping in the cold weather.
"What's wrong?" Kahn saw that his condition was a little wrong, as if he suddenly remembered something bad.
What would be something that could be called a nightmare...?
"It's nothing. I've been there and I can take you there, just now."
Shen seemed unwilling to mention it, but if he was willing to take them to Zhiyun, who was thousands of miles away, he would have so much time left to travel, and Kahn was naturally extremely happy.
As Shen's hands slowly formed seals, Twilight's energy wrapped the three of them. Kasha watched her hands liquefy into purple energy droplets, lifting vertically in a trajectory that violated gravity, passing through the curtain between the two realms.
Although this feeling was very similar to when she was escaping into the void, she still felt a little nervous. Fortunately, Kahn held her hand, which made her feel much more at ease.
With one breath and one breath, the three of them had appeared hundreds of miles away.
As the twilight barrier surrounding him faded, Kasha looked around curiously and found that they were in a ruins of a village where most of the houses were withered and damaged, wrapped in green vines, and the charred wooden boards showed signs of burning.
"Has a fire happened here?" Kasha said in surprise, not understanding why Shen chose this place.
"Well. This place was once called Kosha Village. More than ten years ago, I came to Zhiyun to handle the case with my father. Because something happened here, I was very impressed. And I knew there would be no one here, so it was more hidden."
"Is it the case of the Golden Demon?" Kahn said: "If so, Jie should be there too."
"So many years have passed, and I thought people had forgotten it long ago." Shen smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect that anyone would remember what happened here, which he didn't want to talk about.
"Who is the Golden Demon?"
"A madman who treats murder as art and is self-intoxicated."
Kasha and Kahn answered questions and answers, bringing Shen’s memories.
If Shen wants to transfer himself to a place through Twilight magic, he must first have a clear impression of that place. Indeed, Kosha Village carries a past that Shen can't bear to look back on. And the shadow of the past will be unforgettable once imprinted in his heart.
"Yes, the robbery was there at that time. We had not yet turned against each other. We were close friends with good relationships."
"We followed our father to investigate the Jin Demon. This notorious monster committed crimes in the entire province of Zhiyun. It was once regarded as a demon who came to the world of the spiritual realm, so my father agreed to the envoy to investigate the case."
"And the first time we encountered the Golden Demon was here, not... to be precise, it was the first time we saw the murder scene. We didn't see the Golden Demon himself for a long time, but we were just chasing the traces he left at the murder scene."
"He set fire to the whole village, with the purpose of driving people to the open space and forcing them to read his works. The villagers who were killed by him all bloomed strange flowers in their wounds..."
"After four years of investigation, we finally caught Jin, but found that he was not a demon, but an ordinary person who knew magic. Jie wanted to kill him, but his father refused. Killing people at will will only destroy the balance. Jin Demon needs more severe punishment. Jie and I had the same idea, but agreed to his father's approach. In the end, Jin Demon was handed over to Zhiyun Council by his father, and this matter was left in vain."
With a cold sigh, Shen finished talking about the past and looked at the door of the tavern in a daze.
If the Golden Demon is a bloodthirsty demon, perhaps everyone will feel better. But when Jie found out that he had been teased by a human for so long, the other party was evenly protected because of his human identity and was unable to receive reasonable sanctions. The long-standing resentment cannot be vented, and eventually it will lead to evil consequences.
It was that day that something in Shen’s heart changed, but something in Jie’s heart collapsed.
At this point, Shen has always felt that it was Kushu's unreasonable handling of the Golden Demon that caused Jie to shake his belief in equilibrium, which led to a series of subsequent actions that violated equilibrium.
"What punishment did the Golden Demon finally get?" Kasha asked.
"He was imprisoned in prison by the Chiyun Council and sentenced to life imprisonment."
"After killing so many people, such a punishment is too light, right?" she frowned.
"No matter how many people the Golden Demon kills, as long as it does not harm any spiritual body in the spiritual realm, there is no reason for a balanced person to attack him." Kahn replied.
The reason why Master Kushu did not put the Golden Demon on the ground was that although the Golden Demon killed many people, it never had an impact on another field. Without imbalance, Kushuhu would not take action.
This is also the reason why the equilibrium sect did not join the war. Noxus invasion of Ionia occurred in the material realm. Although Ionia gradually lost its equilibrium in the late war, the shadow flow had replaced equilibrium by then and they were no longer able to make changes.
Kahn was also very surprised and didn't understand this.
Since the killing of the Golden Demon is not considered to be a destruction of balance, then letting the robbery kill the Golden Demon will not cross the line. Why do you say no to let it go?
Kahn and Kahsha didn't know that something happened in Kosha Village, Shen didn't say it.
At that time, when they were rescued villagers who had escaped from the fire in Kosha Village, they did not show any better than the disaster because of fear.
When Jie cut off one of the villagers' injured legs with a bone saw, the decisiveness he showed was exactly what Kushou admired, with no fear, no hatred, no love in his eyes... Only such a person is qualified to become the successor of Twilight Eye, and Kushou promised to pass the position to Jie in the future, because he is more suitable than Shen.
Unfortunately, Shen happened to overheard their conversation and felt unwilling to prove to his father that he was born in a noble family and was more qualified than an orphan he picked up.
So in the days that followed, he tried hard to imitate the indifference of Twilight Eye, hoping that his father would look up to him and pass on the position of Twilight Eye to him.
But for this reason, when he captured the Golden Demon, he was unable to comfort the suffering and hatred of the disaster.
If he had done this at the beginning, perhaps the disaster would not have felt hatred.

The mask blocked the regret in Shen's eyes. He calculated with his fingers that it had been thirteen years since that incident, and the Jin Mo was kept in prison and did not come out to harm the world.
No matter what happens during this period, it’s time to turn the page.
Kasha looked around again. There was no one in this deserted village and had been abandoned by others.
"Master Shen, is the Arsenal here? It doesn't look like it." she asked.
Shen replied: "The Arsenal is not here, and I have never been there. I just moved us to Zhiyun Heights and shortened our journey to the Arsenal."
"Then you have to rely on your own feet."
