Chapter 331

On the edge of Wuji Village, on a towering giant rock.

Jie was alone, sitting cross-legged, looking deeply into the distance, as if concentrating on thinking.

"Hey." A voice sounded from behind.

The one who comes is Yi.

Although he and Jie have only known each other for 3 days, they have become friends who have entrusted their lives to each other after going through a life-and-death battle at Yipu River Port.

And the current Master Yi is still a young man full of curiosity about the outside world, and he has never experienced the tragedy of "future" family ruin and sect collapse, so he still has a familiar frivolity when facing outsiders.

"Jie, what are you doing here alone?" Regardless of whether Jie was willing to talk to him or not, Master Yi sat down next to this stern man.

"." Jie silently glanced at him.

Then, he looked at the cottage in the distance that was used by the leader as a meeting room, and there was a sound of heated discussions in the distance.

These voices are very vague to ordinary people, but they are clearly distinguishable to extraordinary people like Jie and Yi.

"I'm listening to a meeting of leaders," Zed said.

"Eavesdropping?" Master Yi raised his eyebrows.

"They know I'm here." Jie didn't turn his head: "Don't forget. That Mr. Li Wei is stronger than you and me."

"Haha, too." Yi smiled.

However, looking at Jie's cold face that seemed unchanged for thousands of years, he suddenly didn't know what to say.After thinking about it again, he decided to get up and leave out of boredom.

But at this time, Jie stopped him: "Wait, Yi."

"What?" Yi sat back puzzled.

"I want to ask you a question." Zed said, "A question I'm thinking about."

Then he asked: "If the Noxians are driven away, are you still going to follow the leader?"

"This..." Yi knew why Jie asked him this question.

Because their situation is actually relatively close.

He is the representative of the Wuji Sword Sect, and Jie is the leader of the Shadow Stream Sect.

Strictly speaking, they are all independent forces, and they only came together temporarily for the common goal of resisting the invasion of Noxus and protecting the people of Ionia.

Now that the massacre crisis in Barua Province has been temporarily alleviated, Jie has to think about the next issue of cooperation with the leader.

It is certain to continue to cooperate, but when and to what depth?
Yi was also a little hesitant about the question "Hmm".

Fighting the Noxians with the leader, he must have signed up to form a team without saying a word.

But the problem is, apart from driving away the Noxus, the leaders also have a lofty goal, that is
"Seize the power of Ionia." Jie said meaningfully: "When they first met, they made no secret of it and emphasized this point again."

Seizing power in Ionia, this simple sentence has countless bloody storms behind it.

You must know that Ionia is now full of militias, rebels are everywhere, and there are countless independent forces, large and small.To wrest the power of all of Ionia from them
It was almost obvious that with the Noxians gone, Ionia would be greeted with an even more chaotic civil war.

"." Master Yi was even more entangled.

Their Wuji swordsmanship pays attention to not being stained with the world, not stained with dirty blood.

He had already violated the sect's rules by taking his juniors and juniors down the mountain to resist the Noxus invaders.

How could it be possible to follow the leader to disturb the civil war in Ionia, and use Wuji swordsmanship to fight the Ionians?

But
Somehow.After in-depth contact with the leaders these days and seeing their ideals, enthusiasm and endless vitality, Master Yi instinctively joined the team.

So he struggled, and simply threw the question back: "Jie, what do you think?"

"Me." Jie thought for a while, but only answered ambiguously: "The situation I am facing is more complicated than yours."

He betrayed his sect and split the balance before, all of which were planned by his master Ku Shuo.

Therefore, although his Shadow Stream sect is an independent force that is absolutely loyal to him, it is not that independent.

Master Kushu has now changed his name and surname to become the leader of the Navoli Brotherhood.

His good apprentice, in fact, has been secretly following the orders of Master Kushuo, leading his Shadow Stream Sect, and indirectly working for the Navoli Brotherhood.

However, the increasingly extreme behavior of the Navoli Brotherhood in recent years made Jie secretly startled.

So subconsciously, he has already had the idea of ​​breaking with Master Kushuo and completely changing the family.

Therefore, there are 3 options before Jie:

Continue to hang out with the Navoli Brotherhood, go it alone, or...follow the leaders?
It is not easy for Jie to disclose these secrets.

So he only said pointedly: "After Noxus leaves, Ionia will inevitably have a civil war."

"When the time comes, how should we choose the Wuji Sword Sect? Is it to be alone, or to follow the leader, or the Navoli Brotherhood?"

Master Yi was hit with a headache by this re-thrown question.

Returning to the mountains and being alone is undoubtedly the most in line with the spirit of Wuji.

But the active birth in the past 20 days has given him a passion to participate in "ordinary affairs" and change the world.

Yi now doesn't want to go back to the mountains to stay forever.He also wants to make Ionia better through his own efforts.

but
"Can this be achieved only by fighting? Is there no option to avoid war?" Yi asked.

"Impossible." Because of this innocent question, Jie gave a rare smile: "Ionia, I will never go back to the former Ionia."

Ionia has been knocked out of national consciousness by Noxus, and the forces of all parties have also risen rapidly in the war.

They have changed from the elders of the sect, the leaders of the clan, and the tyrants of one side to the local emperors who command the army and hold great power in their hands, and each dominates the side.

Even if the war is over, they will not willingly give up the power in their hands and degenerate back to the original elders, patriarchs, and village heads.
Even more ambitious:

"It's just like the Navoli Brotherhood now." Zed couldn't help but look complicated when he thought of his teacher who was suspected of having a bad mind: "They want to unify the whole of Ionia and make Ionia a place beyond Noxus. The sprawling empire of Sith, and make Ionia great again."

Unknowingly, the former master of balance who hesitated for a long time to kill a chicken, now wants to be the first emperor of Ionia.
And there are far more than one ambitious man like Master Kushuo in Ionia, which is full of kings today.

Now Ionia has another leader, a new force that clearly wants to control the entire Ionia.

Civil war was almost inevitable.

After careful consideration, Jie found that:

"If we don't want to be alone, then in the future, we can only choose between the leader and the Navoli Brotherhood."

"This..." Master Yi was puzzled, "Why are there only these two factions?"

"I've also heard a lot of news from outside the mountain recently. The strongest resistance force in Ionia should not be."

"Is that the Presidian rebel army that once defeated the Noxus army head-on?"

"Presidian Rebels?" Jie couldn't help laughing at Yi's innocence: "You mean, that little girl named Irelia, and the team she led?"

"Yeah." Yi nodded.

Irelia is the legendary hero who defeated the Imperial Commander Swain.

The Presidian rebel army she led is now the strongest anti-imperial force in Ionia.

The key is:

She herself is a traditional Ionian with a peaceful personality. She advocates against war and violence. She is not as ambitious as the Navoli Brotherhood and advocates restoring Ionia to its past peaceful environment.

"This is where she is doomed to fail," Jie said.

He had analyzed before that Ionia would never be able to return to its original appearance.

So Irelia's so-called "return to tradition" idea, to put it bluntly, is lying flat, and it has no political ideas at all.

"Everyone followed her through life and death. They didn't want to throw away power, disarm and return to the fields after driving away the Noxus, and go home to farm honestly."

Some people may think so, but there are definitely not many people who are so pure and free.

More people, like the master of bitter talk, have slowly tasted the sweetness of power in the process of resisting the imperial invasion.

They won't let go.

"Irelia is a person without ambition, which is admirable."

But a person without ambition can only be a hero, not a leader.

Heroes only need to sacrifice for others.

But what the leader needs is to seek benefits for the followers.

If you can't do this, just wait to be emptied by your subordinates.

"This little girl is only 15 years old, and she is too naive." Jie said, "In fact, even in today's Presidio Rebel Army, she doesn't have much right to speak."

"Irelia is more their spiritual idol than their actual leader."

"How can such an organization without a leader, without a program, and with no clear political ideas succeed?"

Although the Navoli Brotherhood is very ambitious, although their political views are almost copied from the Noxus Empire
It is equivalent to a good student learning to be a gangster after being beaten up.

But in any case, at least people have political views.

Those who follow the Brotherhood know what they want, a great Ionian Empire, lands and privileges that this empire can give back to them.

But Irelia only wants to go home and farm after finishing the game. How can everyone talk to her?

"That's why I said that only leaders and the Navoli Brotherhood will succeed in the future." Jie concluded.

Equilibrium, Everlasting, Shuoji, Hirana Monastery, and the four Ionian sects are nothing but traditional guardian dogs.

Arielina has no prestige but has no ambitions and does not think about making progress, so she can't achieve great things.

Heroes in the world are only heard by leaders and brothers.

"This" Yi was taken aback for a moment.

He thought carefully along with Jie's words, and said, "Jie, if there are only two options, Leader and Brotherhood"

"Then is there still a choice?"

The answer actually appeared in the depths of Jie's heart long ago.

It's just that he was worried about the kindness of master Kushuo as a mentor and apprentice, and he didn't want to face it.

The idea of ​​the Brotherhood is to create an Ionian Empire.

No matter how great this empire is built, the upper limit is the Noxus Empire they copied.

The people of the Noxus Empire, how are they living now?
In contrast, the political views of the leaders are.
At this moment, Li Wei's firm voice at the meeting just came with the wind:
"Our first step in transforming Ionia is to carry out a thorough land and social reform—"

"We want the untouchables not to be humble, the poor not to be poor, the tillers to have their fields, and all the oppressed Ionians to stand up and be their own masters!"

 The second is later _(:з」∠)_
