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

Wendy stood there, bewildered.

As they spoke, the members of the Cat's Abode suddenly began to emit shimmering light, which floated upwards.

Even Robin Lue himself was like that.

He had waited too long for this moment, his deceased body struggling to hold on, and it was long past the point where he could no longer continue.

“However,” Zhou Lan said, her expression unmoved, “I refuse.”

"Huh?" Robin Lu's expression froze.

He quickly tried to persuade him to stay: "Sir, I..."

Zhou Lan waved her hand to interrupt him, "I don't have the time, and I have no interest in taking care of children."

In an instant, Robin Lue's face turned ashen.

Indeed, he had been somewhat reckless. The unfamiliar archmage had helped him fulfill his long-cherished wish, but that did not mean the other party would grant all his requests.

He was overwhelmed with joy at the fulfillment of his long-cherished wish.

“However…” Zhou Lan changed the subject, looking at the timid and helpless girl in front of her, “I can introduce her to a guild, a pretty good one.”

For an instant.

Robin Lu let out a long sigh of relief.

He almost thought things were going to reach a stalemate, so he quickly bowed and said, "I trust your judgment, thank you, sir."

Having witnessed Zhou Lan's power, he addressed her with utmost respect.

Zhou Lan naturally didn't need a fragile little girl to accompany him. After helping west Mu up, he would leave this world without hesitation.

But Wendy is very adaptable and is a unique Sky Dragon Slayer Mage. Whether it's offense or healing, her future is impeccable. It seems that Ximu should be able to get along with her.

Moreover, in terms of magical attributes, the two are quite compatible.

Zhou Lan had no intention of disturbing the grandfather and grandson's last moments. He stood alone outside the camp of the Cat's Nest, waiting for their separation to end.

This beautiful dream must eventually end.

Behind Zhou Lan, shimmering specks of light rose into the sky.

That was the disappearance of Robin Luke and all the thought entities he created for Wendy.

From the moment he met this little girl, he used lies and magic to weave a warm home for her.

“It’s always like this. People have to learn to part ways one day, whether sooner or later,” Zhou Lan said, turning her back to him.

The place behind him was now empty; the entire Cat's Abode had vanished in an instant.

In the empty camp, only a little girl with blue hair stood there alone with her only companion, tears still glistening in the corners of her eyes.

She gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind.

He ran towards Zhou Lan's figure in a few quick steps, following closely behind her.

The change had already happened, and she had no choice but to follow Grandpa Robin's advice.

She has never lacked strength.

She knew that Zhou Lan's words were directed at her, but the sudden disappearance of her grandfather and the guild, who had always been by her side, was something a little girl could hardly accept.

Behind Zhou Lan, she spoke up timidly, asking, "Grand Archmage, is life always like this? Or is it only like this when you're a child?"

Zhou Lan kept moving.

Sometimes, as an elder, he doesn't mind being a mentor to younger generations.

“It’s always like this,” he said.

Chapter 347 New Territory, the Promised Land

west Mu looked up in confusion as he watched Zhou Lan return, and the little girl with long, dark blue hair following closely behind her.

"Boss?" he asked curiously, gesturing with his mouth, wondering why Zhou Lan had gone there and brought things back.

Behind Zhou Lan's tall figure, Wendy peeked out with her obedient head, curiously observing the people in front of her.

The first one to be in charge was Ximu, who stood at the front of everyone and looked only slightly older than him.

Wendy is a meticulous and sensitive child. She keenly noticed that, apart from Zhou Lan, everyone at the scene seemed to be focused on Ximu.

Their gazes and auras were all focused on Ximu.

"Hello, I'm Wendy..." Wendy greeted him shyly.

Is this the guild that the person in front of her is bringing her to?

It looks pretty good, although it's a bit unfamiliar.

Wendy's gaze swept lightly over everyone present, starting with Westwood, and suddenly, her gaze stopped on Gerald, her eyes flashing.

She had seen this person before.

And she will not forget those who helped her.

So he's in this guild too?

Wendy felt it was an incredible coincidence, and in an instant, she began to look forward to the future here.

"Wendy?" Ximu came closer and carefully examined the little girl and the silent white cat Charlotte on her shoulder.

"Do you have any special skills?" Ximu's eyes darted around, and he said with a smile, "I am Ximu, the guild master of Devil's Tail."

"Skills?" Wendy hesitated. "I am the Sky Dragon Slayer Mage, skilled in sky magic and healing magic. Everyone... if you are injured, you can come to me!"

She mustered her courage and gave a brief self-introduction to Ximu and the others.

“The sky? Dragon Slayer Mages…” Ximu chewed on Wendy’s words, then suddenly smiled, “They sound much more powerful than those other miscellaneous Dragon Slayer Mages.”

He gave a thumbs-up, it was hard to tell whether he was praising Wendy or just indulging in self-praise.

Seeing Ximu's smile, Wendy suddenly felt that this guild was actually quite good.

There were people from her past whom she knew, and a seemingly easy-going young student council president.

"It's not that amazing..." Wendy replied softly, her head lowered.

"Don't be shy, come on. The first rule for joining is to deposit a trace of magic with our guild leader, which is me, of course," Ximu said casually.

As for the so-called membership criteria, they are actually just something he made up, and there is only this one at present.

And the purpose is obvious to everyone.

"Is that so?" Wendy turned her head to look at Zhou Lan.

For some reason, she trusted Zhou Lan completely from the bottom of her heart.

Perhaps it was Grandpa Robin Lu's dying wish, or perhaps it stemmed from Zhou Lan's inherent gentle and reliable elder-like demeanor.

Zhou Lan smiled and nodded slightly.

Having received an affirmative reply, Wendy released a wisp of gentle demonic energy, which drifted into the Sky Codex that Ximu had prepared long ago.

He let out a satisfied sigh.

After a moment's thought, he commented, "Power derived from the sky... does seem to suit my taste better than other Dragon Slayer Mages."

west Mu looked at Zhou Lan and said sincerely, "Thank you, boss. If we weren't brothers, I would think you should be my father."

“I don’t think the gap between us is that big yet.” Zhou Lan waved her hand, rejecting Xi Mu’s glib talk. “I have no intention of raising a child.”

"I was just kidding." Ximu scratched his head. "By the way, boss, where did you go when you left just now...?"

Ximu blinked, his eyes filled with anticipation.

He knew, of course, what Zhou Lan had been doing during her absence, but the Demon of Heaven had something to say.

As a junior being supported, one must have a deep understanding of oneself.

Everything else is unacceptable, but we must ensure that emotional value is adequate.

He was the youngest of his eight siblings, and always the most clever. In particular, as he gradually absorbed and increased his magical power, his originally not-so-bright mind returned to normal.

After all, they can come up with ideas like asking others for some magic power before parting ways, and depositing magic power when joining a guild.

Zhou Lan smiled and said, "I've found a brand new territory for you."

"Oh—that's great! When do we set off?" Ximu asked eagerly. "If there are people in that area, we'll take them down."

“I have already removed some minor obstacles,” Zhou Lanping said calmly.

"Boss—" Ximu said, his face full of admiration as he prepared to approach.

Suddenly, his vision blurred, and everyone, including him and Wendy, felt a dizzying sensation as countless long threads, dragged along by the speed, flashed before their eyes.

When their vision returned to normal, they found themselves in a dense forest.

"Where is this...?" came a questioning voice.

west Mu raised the corners of his mouth. He didn't need to see it with his own eyes; he understood just by the feeling his body gave him.

"Looks like we're in the sky," Ximu grinned.

"The sky?" Gajeel hurriedly ran towards the boundary he could see with his naked eye and looked out.

"Hiss..." He gasped, "This is a floating island!"

In their field of vision was the distant ground.

Gajiru suddenly turned around and looked at Zhou Lan.

The soil at the edge of the forest and on the ground was soft and black, with a slightly damp feel, clearly indicating that this floating island had just risen.

It was clearly Zhou Lan's doing.

He actually managed to do that!

A series of gazes, filled with shock and awe, fell upon Zhou Lan.

Their guild leader's elder brother is likely much stronger than they originally imagined.

“But here’s the problem.” Laxus, who was no longer “foolish,” spread his hands and asked, “How do we get down?”

Upon hearing this, everyone's expressions froze.

Of those present, besides Zhou Lan and west Mu, perhaps Wendy and her companion, the white cat Xia Lulu, could be considered half-flying.

Just as everyone's doubts began to arise, they heard Zhou Lan's voice from the side.

“I will grant you the power to be free from the pull of gravity, so that wherever you go in this land you may spread your wings freely.”

His voice was ethereal, echoing and swirling among the trees.

The purplish-black magic of the moon is imprinted into the guild crest of Devil's Tail, created by Ximu.

In an instant, everyone was lifted into the air.

"From now on, you will no longer be bound by gravity when you walk among the trees. This is one of the gifts I'm giving you in preparation for the new guild," Zhou Lan said, looking at Xi Mu.

This task should have been left to Ximu; he is the devil in heaven.

But clearly, Ximu doesn't have that ability yet.

A hint of helplessness appeared on Zhou Lan's face as she looked at west Mu and said, "I really don't know if the sky is your territory or mine, you demon of the sky."

Upon hearing this, Ximu chuckled and said, "Boss, if you want, it wouldn't be a problem for you to become the Heavenly Demon. After all, we can both fly, and when I think about it, it seems quite similar."

"how about you?"

"Me? I don't care. Actually, being your younger brother is pretty good, boss."

Chapter 348 Portable Aerial Continent

With Zhou Lan's support and west Mu's joint efforts, the guild Demon's Tail finally settled down in this sea of ​​trees floating in the sky.

The only thing they needed to adapt to was the blessing Zhou Lan had given them: the freedom from gravity restrictions within the vicinity of the Sea of ​​Trees.

Then one could see figures floating up and down in the air near the sea of ​​trees, adapting to the absence of gravity.

This is a necessary step; otherwise, these guys won't even be able to go home in the future.

Ximu was the happiest of all.
