First, take down the Sword Demon, then save Runeterra.

Seeing Jie's ever-changing expression, Amber became even more emboldened.

"You're the one in a hurry now, not me, because I don't care about the lives of ordinary people. You're different, hahaha!"

Jie clenched his fists, his expression ferocious, looking like he was about to explode at any moment.

Just when Amber thought he was about to fight to the death, Jie suddenly withdrew the blade from his arm guard.

"What do you want? You must get the Shadow Tear tonight. You can make one more condition."

“It’s so easy talking to you.” Amber closed the door again. “Besides the half of the Shadow Tear that I’m entitled to, I also want to take over the Temple of Balance!”

Jie's pupils dilated slightly.

"Think about it, Zed. You've already gathered so many men, plus my Brotherhood. What's so difficult about taking over a Temple of Balance?"

"When we divide the temple equally, who in all of Ionia can stand against us?"

Amber held the dagger to Jie's neck, his gesture utterly provocative.

No one knew what Jie was thinking at that moment.

After a moment of silence, Jie said coldly, "My condition remains the same: you cannot kill any disciples of the Order of Balance."

Amber was taken aback, then burst into laughter: "You agree? Good, good, as long as we can take over the Order of Balance, I'll agree to any request!"

The two stepped out of the hut. In the open space outside, two groups of people were stationed in different areas, wary of each other.

One side looked like a band of mountain bandits, members of the Navori Brotherhood.

On the other side were a group of masked men, dressed in red and black armor, their metal gauntlets gleaming coldly.

"set off!"

The two groups together numbered over five hundred, and they marched in a mighty procession toward the mountain where the Balance Temple was located.

The Navori Brotherhood had far more members than these, but because the Noxians had surrounded the city of Sarnzer, Amber could only lead a small group, circling a mountain range, to reach the foot of the Temple of Balance.

He led the way to prevent Anbo from breaking the agreement and directly leading his troops to attack the temple.

The Junheng Temple is not far from the foot of the mountain, and we soon arrived at the temple gate.

There wasn't a single disciple of any sect in sight. The commotion from both sides was so great that disciples had already informed Ku Shuo.

Just as Amber was about to kick down the door, he was stopped by Jie.

“We agreed that I would negotiate with them first.”

Jie arrived at the temple gate and shouted, "Ku Shuo, you should know I'm here. Let's talk!"

A moment later, the temple gates opened, and Kushuo, who had aged considerably, walked out.

“Jie, why bother? I’ve already said that the Order of Balance doesn’t care about this war. You should just leave.”

"Don't call me by that name. I have left the sect. Now I am the Calamity. I am not here to ask for your help. I am here to take what is rightfully mine."

Ku sighed, "Is it still for the Shadow Tears...?"

"I don't want to use force against the sect. To put it bluntly, the city of Saenze at the foot of the mountain is about to fall, and all the ordinary people in the city will die. Today I must get the Shadow Tear!"

“Jie, you don’t understand,” Ku Shuo shook his head. “That’s forbidden power; using it will only cause more harm…”

"I'm not going to reason with you, you're not worthy to listen!" A blade extended from Zed's metal gauntlet. "I'll ask you one last time, will you give it to me or not?"

"Jie, stop right now!" Another strong, brown-haired youth walked out of the gate.

"Shen, are you going to stop me too?" Jie pointed his sword at him, showing no regard for their past brotherhood.

"Why, Jie? The sect treated you well, taking you in as an orphan and teaching you martial arts. Why..."

Zed interrupted Shen's advice abruptly: "Why? Open your eyes wide and go down the mountain to take a good look, Shen!"

"The Eye of Twilight? Hahahaha! Eyes are meant to observe the world, has the Eye of Twilight gone blind now?!"

Ku said, raising his hand and pushing Shen back: "Alright, there's no point in arguing. Jie, come with me, let me show you why Shadow Tears is called a forbidden technique."

Upon hearing this, Jie finally stopped being as aggressive as before. He sheathed his blade, gathered a few men, and prepared to follow Ku Shuo to the Temple of Balance.

"Hey, wait a minute, I'm going too. You negotiate with them first. I respected your wishes, but now you're going to leave me out the door?" Uncle Amber was unhappy again.

Jie glanced at him and said, "The Temple of Balance isn't something just anyone can climb. Even within the Church of Balance, only a few members have the ability to ascend that mountain."

“This is not your decision.” Amber waved his hand, and several skilled men stepped out from the Brotherhood.

"And another thing, when did Ionia start having this kind of hospitality? Making guests wait outside the door? Come on in, guys!"

Upon hearing this, Jie immediately grabbed Amber by the collar: "You!"

"What, did I say I was going to kill them? Don't worry, they'll just stay in the front yard and won't cause any trouble."

The Brotherhood didn't care what Jack thought; they only obeyed Amber's orders.

At this moment, almost all the disciples had gathered in the sect's front yard, including Kennen, Meme, Akali, and others.

They raised their wooden sticks, spears, or shuriken, ready to retaliate at any moment.

However, the entire sect only numbered a little over three hundred people, and if a real fight broke out, the sect's disciples would suffer heavy casualties.

"Don't make any rash moves!" Ku said, stopping the conflict between the sect's disciples and the Brotherhood.

He approached Kenan and Meimu and whispered, "The sect is doomed today. Take your disciples and leave the sect. Find another place to rebuild balance."

“Father!” Shen rushed forward. “This is the origin of balance! Even if we have to stay, I’ll stay with you…”

Before he could finish speaking, Shen felt a numbness all over his body, lost consciousness, and collapsed to the ground.

"Thank you, Master Kennan." Ku said, taking the two swords from his back and handing them to Meimu. "When Shen wakes up, tell him that the title of Twilight Eye has been passed on to him."

Kennan and Mei nodded silently.

In fact, both Balance Masters are quite powerful, especially Kennen, but they cannot possibly take care of all their Balance Disciples.

The Brotherhood are a bunch of outlaws who don't want their disciples to die at their hands.

"Let them go!" Jie ordered his followers to make way.

Kennan grabbed Shen's foot and dragged him out of the gate. He glanced back at the temple gate one last time, then turned and walked down the mountain.

Akali watched this scene, and this time she remained silent, not even saying anything sarcastic to Zed.

Every disciple of the sect had anger in their eyes, but no one could change the minds of the three leaders.

In just over ten minutes, the Balance Temple had changed hands.

"Hahahaha! Now the temple is mine too!" Uncle An laughed arrogantly.
