Zongman: All Heavens and Worlds Begin with the Devil's Curse

Jess's appointment was the result of a weighing of various forces in the upper city, and one of the most important factors was the dark-skinned beauty sitting next to him.

Representative Mel.

And then there's the Noxian faction that suddenly appeared in Piltover not long ago, Ambissa, the mother of Mel, who seems to be a formidable and powerful wolf mother.

Almost all the forces that had become involved in Piltover were here, including the Noxian forces that did not originally belong to Piltover.

They had just finished discussing the issue of the lower city of Zaun, but now another problem has arisen.

Footsteps sounded outside the hall, and many eyes immediately turned to one spot.

"This is it, please." The voice came from the law enforcement officer who was leading the way.

"I think the situation here is already in complete chaos, and it wouldn't be a good thing to bring in new forces. What do you think?"

Mel slowly turned his head to look at the other members of parliament and began to speak.

She didn't understand why the other members of parliament would agree to let a group of unfamiliar forces into the Piltover parliament.

Even if it's just a simple listening in or asking questions.

She and Jess exchanged a glance, seemingly agreeing with each other.

“No, Councilor Mel.” A thin and arrogant-looking male councilor raised his hand and said, “Since Noxus is already here, let’s be frank. After all, things are in complete chaos here, aren’t they?”

“Speaking of which…” the senator slowly looked at Ambissa, who was standing in the shadows behind him, “we don’t know much about Noxus yet.”

In the shadows, the Iron-Blooded Wolf Mother Ambissa's lips moved, but no one could guess what she was thinking.

It seems that the council's decision to allow these strange beings, the demons, to come here was also due to some kind of subtle check and balance.

Checks and balances.

This seems to be exactly what lawmakers and politicians excel at.

But soon, their skills and methods, which they were so proud of, will be shattered in the hands of the devil.

A voice came from outside the hall again: "Uh... sorry, there are quite a few of you. Normally, one person from each faction should be enough..."

“Interesting, I’ll go.” A graceful and composed voice came from behind.

The gold-rimmed doors of the council hall slowly moved, and a mature, older man floated in from outside.

Feeling the many gazes falling upon her, Zhou Lan slowly swept her eyes over all the councilors present.

The lawmakers were also watching him, this unfamiliar figure suspended in mid-air.

“Magic?” Ambeza murmured softly in the shadows, her expression shifting almost imperceptibly.

Jess seemed to have thought of something; he was also muttering the word "magic" in his mind, but his expression was clearly more astonished.

There is almost no magic in Piltover.

Jess's former teacher, the Bandle, the highly respected Professor Heimerdinger, was a man who avoided magic like the plague.

According to him, the power of magic is too vast and uncontrollable. He had personally witnessed how this power could destroy the world, and it was a power that mortals could not control.

And right now, what lies before them...

It seemed as if someone capable of wielding magic was standing there.

"Just as I thought, he doesn't look like a downtown person..."

"Of course, you definitely can't produce a guy like this in the lower city."

The lawmakers turned to each other and whispered among themselves.

Then one of them spoke to Zhou Lan: "Friend from who knows where, according to the law enforcement officer, you flew up from Zu'an...?"

Zhou Lan nodded slightly, her clear eyes fixed on her.

"Excuse my bluntness, but that's not a good place. We were just having a headache over that..."

The councilor, scratching his head, spoke helplessly, saying that the conflict between the two cities had always existed, and it seemed to be escalating at the moment.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Lan glanced sideways and smiled, "Oh? Then I've solved a problem for you."

"Trouble? What do you mean?"

His words immediately drew everyone's attention. The councilors stared intently at Zhou Lan's face, waiting for his next words.

"The city that has been giving you so much trouble has now completely submitted," Zhou Lan said slowly.

"Submission...?" The congressmen pondered the meaning of the word, momentarily puzzled.

But in the shadows, Ambeza's expression suddenly changed.

The country bumpkins of Piltover seemed to have never experienced war, so they naturally didn't understand the meaning of the word "submission" here.

But she's different.

She came from Noxus, a country that revered force, war, and plunder. At this moment, Zhou Lan's meaning was crystal clear to her.

"You mean..." Ambissa began slowly, asking in a low voice, "you conquered Zaun?"

"How is this possible?!" It wasn't Zhou Lan who reacted first to Anbesa's words, but the other councilors.

They seemed to have heard something extraordinary; even the male councilor's voice became shrill with shock.

“The law enforcement officers just dealt with those guys down there not long ago, this is absolutely impossible!” The speaker was the representative of the Gilaman family in Piltover.

“This isn’t funny,” Mel said softly, glancing at her mother, Ambeza.

Zhou Lan seemed somewhat indifferent to these responses.

He simply smiled and looked at Ambissa, saying, "It seems there are still some clever fellows here."

He calmly crossed his arms in front of his chest and gently but firmly continued the previous sentence:

"And that's why I'm here."

Chapter 475 This is bad, the Primal Demon

An unpleasant atmosphere permeated the council hall.

All the gazes that fell upon Zhou Lan changed color.

If the conversation between this man and Ambesa is real, then wouldn't there only be one reason why he would appear in Piltover?

conquer.

Words that sound extremely unfamiliar.

But for Ambissa from Noxus, it sounded like coming home.

Her expression changed again, and she began to carefully examine Zhou Lan's appearance.

A guy who looks very skilled in magic has appeared here, and it seems he has already conquered the entire city of Zaun.

Therefore, his power may be far greater than they initially imagined.

It's not like she hasn't seen powerful guys before.

In Noxus, there are many powerful individuals who can single-handedly determine the course and outcome of a battle.

But even she felt that very few people could conquer an entire city single-handedly.

Ambesa's heart sank.

Her arrival seemed ill-timed; Piltover's trajectory had completely slipped out of her control at this moment.

After leaving Noxus, she intended to rebuild her power here.

But Zhou Lan's appearance meant that her goal was about to fail.

Ambeza's gaze shifted almost imperceptibly to Mel.

If things go as she expects, then she must consider how to protect her daughter amidst the impending upheaval and potential dangers.

“Zaun has already submitted, and so has Piltover, but its master is not me, but someone else.”

"Of course, this is not important to you."

Zhou Lan spoke casually.

“I don’t understand what you’re talking about. Piltover doesn’t belong to anyone. It belongs only to us, to itself!” The senators’ faces showed annoyance.

They couldn't be sure if Zhou Lan was lying or something else.

But at least, no single sentence can seize control of a city or territory.

This is absolutely impossible.

Their family has lived here for hundreds, even thousands of years, and there has never been any reason for them to give it up so easily in history.

Just then.

Suddenly, Zhou Lan heard the voice of the Holy Lord.

"Brother, there are rats spying on this place," the Holy Lord said calmly.

"I know, please take care of it," Zhou Lan replied calmly.

Outside the council hall.

The Holy Lord glanced at Xiao Feng and reached out to grab something outside the building.

Suddenly, the mournful cry of a crow rang out.

The Holy Lord lowered his head and stared at the jet-black three-eyed raven he held in his palm.

He sniffed; the force opposite him emanated from darkness.

"It doesn't seem like it came to spy on us, but we just happened to run into it," Xiaofeng pondered.

"It's here to monitor secrets," Zhou Lan explained to her two younger brothers, diverting a sliver of her attention.

The Three-Eyed Raven is the primordial demon of Runeterra, symbolizing secrecy and voyeurism, and is the representative of Ram.

At this moment, according to the original timeline, the demon Ramu should not have merged with Swain, one of the three giants of Noxus.

So the three-eyed raven's appearance here is probably driven by the power of a secret demon, to spy on all the secrets that are happening.

On the continent of Runeterra, the primordial demons wield considerable power, and theoretically, no one should be able to detect their existence if they intend to hide themselves.

Fear, secrecy, pleasure...

The primal demons here are numerous, almost all of them possessing power far beyond the ordinary, and most of them are mechanic-based monsters.

Unfortunately, the devil met the devil.

The Holy Lord is not a normal being either.

Of course, this doesn't mean that Zhou Lan and Xiao Feng are normal.

"Here you go." A flame flashed in the Holy Lord's hand, and the three-eyed raven turned into a puff of black smoke.

It was refined in an instant.

He reached out and handed it to Xiaofeng.

"Why are you giving this to me?" Xiaofeng asked, puzzled.

The Holy Lord then gestured with his lip and said, "Aren't you weak right now? Since we're all demons, it shouldn't hurt to take a bite, right?"

"Want to try some?" he asked cheerfully.

Unexpectedly, Xiaofeng did not refuse, and a gentle breeze pushed the black smoke into his mouth.

After a moment, he muttered, "It's just a little bit of power, enough for anyone to recover?"

Seeing that it really worked, the Holy Lord's eyes lit up and he became interested.

It's like a bored guy finally finding a new copy.

"One bit of power isn't enough, what about all of it?" he exclaimed excitedly. "Wouldn't it be enough to find and devour all the local demons?"

"Here, it's just a tiny bit of the power of that secret demon that my brother mentioned."

"How about I go and find it for you?" the Holy Lord said eagerly.

"Whatever," Xiaofeng said indifferently.

"Then I'll take that as your agreement." The Holy Lord laughed heartily.

The secret demon Ram, who was spying on the secrets of the two cities, possessed only the slightest power that had just existed.
