The Shu Ji Sect
Udyr stepped forward, knocked on the door, and gave his name. The door opened shortly, and a red-clad godfather emerged. 👻♕ 👺♥
Because he was covering his face, I wasn't sure if it was the same person as before, but the voice sounded very similar:
"Here we go again. Lee Sin has already said she won't go to Beiquan with you, why force her?"
"Godfather, I'm not here to persuade him to go to Beiquan, but rather a friend of mine wants to see him. Could you please do me the favor?"
"No, he said he wouldn't see anyone. You should go back."
Udyr has a fiery temper, and seeing that he couldn't reason with the Godfather and was trying to force his way in, I quickly stopped him.
We're here to find help. While making friends through martial arts is nice, there's no need to resort to that method unless absolutely necessary.
Anyway, I'm prepared to visit him three times. Since he won't see us, let's go find Kennen and the others at the Kinkou Order first, and come back in a few days.
Just as I was about to leave, a voice came from inside. "Let them in, senior brother."
It seems the speaker was Lee Sin, and this red-clad godfather was actually his senior brother!
The Dragon Hall worships Elemental Dragon, while Lee Sin wields the Dragon God Power. Could these two beings be connected in some way?
Amid my confusion, the Godfather in Red led the way into the Dragon Hall.
The place remains the same as before, with a giant dragon skeleton filling the entire hall in the very center, and Lee Sin sitting quietly with his eyes closed amidst the dragon skeleton.
He was wearing the same robes as the Godfather, only blue. Just by looking at him, he didn't seem like a monk. Of course, monks in this world might be different from what I know.
"Hello Master Lee Sin, my name is Yasuo. I heard you helped my friends, so I've come to express my gratitude."
"You're too kind. I and all the Prexian are the beneficiaries; we should be thanking you."
"In that case, instead of just saying thank you, let's do something practical," I said bluntly.
He clearly hadn't expected me to say that, and hesitated for a moment before replying, "Hehe, it's not that I'm ungrateful; I do have my own difficulties."
At that moment, he opened his eyes, his gaze piercing, which surprised me. Wasn't Lee Sin the Lee Sin? How come his eyes were so bright?
"If the master has a reason for his predicament, he should speak it out; otherwise, I always feel it's just an excuse."
"Alright, it seems you won't give up even if I don't tell you. I used to be a monk at Shu Ji Monastery..." Lee Sin slowly began to speak:
Prexian has many sects, but the most famous are undoubtedly the Kinkou Order and the Shu Ji Sect.
Unlike the Kinkou Order, which advocates the concept of balance, the Shu Ji Sect is renowned for its combat prowess, and the warrior monks of the Shu Ji Monastery are also highly acclaimed, with Lee Sin being one of them.
He joined the Shu Ji Sect at a young age, and because of his diligence and extraordinary comprehension, he was deeply loved by the abbot, the "Blind Golden Buddha".
When I was chatting with Souma before, he mentioned the Blind Golden Buddha. He said that this person's name was Jin Lu, and he created a unique Divine Fist that made him invincible.
Later, for unknown reasons, he went blind and secluded himself in the Shu Ji Monastery, never venturing out. Some say he lost to a master and secluded himself to cultivate, while others say he attained enlightenment and became detached from worldly affairs.
It wasn't until Noxus invaded Ionia that Jin Lu reappeared, leading the Slardar Monks to fiercely attack the invaders and achieve a great victory.
It was during that battle that people learned that although Jin Lu was blind, his strength had not diminished but increased, especially his Divine Fist, which were considered an ultimate skill!
From then on, the name of the Blind Golden Buddha spread and became a well-known legend.
However, not long after the war ended, the Shu Ji Sect was suddenly attacked by an unknown force, and almost all of the powerful Shuoji monks were wiped out, and Jin Lu disappeared without a trace.
Souma didn't know what happened after that, and to this day, no one knows who had the power to attack Shu Ji Monastery. But through Lee Sin's narration, I pieced the story together:
Lee Sin inherited Jin Lu's skills, and his martial arts prowess reached its peak. Before he was even twenty years old, he became the strongest among all the disciples, with only Jin Lu able to surpass him.
After the war, in addition to teaching Lee Sin martial arts, Jin Lu also provided him with ancient spiritual guidance, preparing to pass on the position of abbot to him after he received the spiritual inheritance.
During the mental guidance process, Jin Lu discovered that Lee Sin seemed to possess some kind of peculiar power, with an unusually strong and restless aura!
Later, Jin Lu summoned him to the Dragon Hall of Shu Ji Monastery. After verification, it was discovered that the power within him was actually the legendary Dragon God Power of the Shu Ji Sect!
Legend has it that the founder of the Shu Ji Sect was a master who controlled the Dragon God Power. He swept through various sects with his overwhelming power and became famous for a time.
After the founder's death, the abbots of his descendants only inherited his martial arts skills, not the Dragon God Power. Now that Jin Lu has discovered this power within Lee Sin, how could he not be extremely excited!
So Jin Lu began to guide Li Qing using the ancient secret methods of the Shu Ji Sect, and the power within Lee Sin's body was gradually stimulated.
What no one expected was that this power channeling would become the annihilation of the Shu Ji Sect!
Perhaps because no one had activated this power for so long, people didn't know how to control it. When the Dragon God Power within Lee Sin was released, he immediately lost control and launched an attack on everyone!
Jin Lu rallied his disciples to fight back desperately, but the rampaging Dragon God Power was simply too great, and coupled with Lee Sin's own superb martial arts skills, the Shuoji monks were slaughtered.
When Lee Sin regained consciousness, he found the temple engulfed in flames, all his fellow disciples dead, and even his master, Jin Lu, nowhere to be found.
Although he had no memory of the time he went berserk, he knew that he was the one who had caused the disaster. Looking at the tragic scene around him, Lee Sin's first thought was to run away!
Just as he was about to leave the temple, he saw a person emerge from the sea of fire: his senior brother Tie Hong.
Tie Hong was another of Jin Lu's most beloved disciples. He had also been to the Dragon Hall, but unfortunately, he did not inherit the Dragon God Power.
At the time, Tie Hong thought that the divine dragon was a giant dragon, so he developed a deep faith in it and later became friends with a fire dragon during his cultivation.
He had just returned from his cultivation and was filled with immense pain upon seeing his junior brother Lee Sin destroy the Shu Ji Monastery.
He summoned a giant fire dragon to attack Lee Sin. Under the threat of the Dragon Flame, Lee Sin lost control once again, and the dragon reappeared!
The result was obvious: the divine dragon killed the giant dragon, and Tie Hong was also seriously injured, but Lee Sin fainted when he was on the verge of death.
After using the Dragon God Power twice in a row, Lee Sin could no longer hold on.
Tie Hong looked at his junior brother lying on the ground and wanted to kill him several times, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.
Firstly, they were brothers and Tie Hong couldn't bear to do that. Secondly, Lee Sin was out of control, and this was not his intention.
Most importantly, Lee Sin inherited the Dragon God Power of the Shu Ji Sect. He was the only one to awaken it in countless years, and the legacy cannot be allowed to disappear.
