Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

Patriarch Liang was filled with worry and fear. He was really worried that if the two young masters met with any misfortune in this place, how could their small village withstand the wrath and revenge of their family?

After all, judging by the way the two young masters were dressed, they were clearly the darlings of their families, legitimate sons of the royal family. If they were truly offended, it would be a disaster, compared to the evil spirits plaguing the village right now!

Both sides made Patriarch Liang feel extremely frightened!

On one side stood the ruthless evil spirits, and on the other stood the so-called righteous immortals. The difference between the two was simply that the evil spirits slaughtered one by one, while the immortals slaughtered everyone at once! Honestly, if there wasn't nowhere else to escape, Patriarch Liang would have even considered fleeing this place with his family. Even if he didn't know where to go, it would be much better than living in fear here.

Patriarch Liang cursed the nearby immortals in his heart. They were simply incompetent. They took the money but did nothing, unable to even deal with a single evil spirit. Their procrastination was truly unbearable.

Patriarch Liang now lives in fear every day, fearing that when night falls, his family will be the next target of killing.

Chief Liang was struggling internally: After all the effort, two immortals came, but they turned out to be two young masters. What if something went wrong? If the evil spirits were not eliminated, not only would the safety of the village be in jeopardy, but the lives of himself and his tribesmen might also be threatened.

"Chief Liang, please rest assured. My junior brother and I will definitely help your village eradicate the evil spirits." Wei Ying promised in a firm tone.

"We will definitely not let you down on this trip." Xue Yang responded firmly, his eyes flashing with unquestionable confidence.

Patriarch Liang stared at the two young immortals in front of him. Although he still felt uneasy, he saw their sincere attitude and could not find a suitable reason to refuse. He could only stammer, "This..."

Just as Patriarch Liang was hesitating, a call came from outside the door again.

"Chief, chief, another little brother is looking for you!" Chief Liang was still lost in thought when a group of children hurried back, clamoring that another visitor had arrived.

When Chief Liang heard the news, he couldn't help but feel a surge of joy in his heart, thinking that another immortal had descended—this was truly a great thing! So he looked up with anticipation, but his mood suddenly changed dramatically, as if he had fallen from the clouds to the bottom of the valley, filled with disappointment and helplessness.

"It's over!" He sighed inwardly. Unexpectedly, another young man appeared before him. This young man's appearance was truly stunning, like an immortal who had been banished from heaven. He exuded an otherworldly aura, a demeanor and natural beauty that no mortal could match.

However, no matter how charming the young master's appearance, Clan Leader Liang could no longer feel a single ounce of joy in his heart. His brow furrowed, his heart filled with worry and uneasiness. "Have the Immortal Sect become so careless now? Do our young master dare to go out and exorcise evil spirits without others? Do the Immortal Sect think that evil spirits are less common now, or do they think that evil spirits can stop harming people just by looking good?"

Patriarch Liang felt a little uncomfortable in his head, his blood pressure seemed to be a little high, and he felt dizzy.

There is no need to delve into the complex emotions within Patriarch Liang.

As Wei Ying's gaze drifted towards Lan Zhan, he suddenly appeared, a delighted smile on his face. Just as Wei Ying was about to step forward to greet him, Xue Yang, who was standing nearby, caught sight of the scene and quickly reached out to stop him. He spoke through voice transmission, "Wei Wuxian, are you crazy? Have you forgotten that we're not wearing masks? We're strangers to Lan Wangji now."

Wei Ying suddenly realized that he had almost exposed himself. He quickly regained his composure and nodded to Xue Yang, indicating that he understood. Xue Yang then let go of his hand, and the two of them continued to maintain their distance from the Liang clan leader to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings.

"Ayang, look, why isn't Lan Wangji staying at the Lan Clan to assist his father and brother with their affairs, but is he out hunting at night?" Wei Ying cautiously asked Xue Yang. The outside world might not be aware that the Lan Clan was purging its traitors, but Wei Ying and Xue Yang, both well-informed, understood what the Lan Clan was going through, and were therefore deeply puzzled by Lan Wangji's appearance.

"You ask me? Who should I ask?" Xue Yang responded telepathically, "However, Lan Wangji has always acted independently. Maybe he has his own reasons for going out. Let's not speculate too much for now, so as not to affect our mission." Wei Ying nodded in agreement, and the two of them tacitly refocused their attention on Patriarch Liang.

Patriarch Liang gazed at the three young immortals before him, feeling a sense of unease. He also keenly noticed that, ever since Young Master Lan's appearance, the expressions of the other two young masters had instantly become unusually serious. Although they quickly regained their composure, Patriarch Liang still caught the change. This observation only heightened his unease, and he couldn't help but wonder if there was some kind of grudge between them.

Why did Patriarch Liang immediately recognize the new young man as a member of the Gusu Lan clan? Because the distinctive headband was the hallmark of the Gusu Lan clan, making it easily recognizable. Not to mention, the exquisitely embroidered cloud pattern on his clothing further highlighted his prominent status.

Lan Wangji approached.

Lan Wangji, Wei Ying, Xue Yang, and the Liang clan leader stood silently in the Liang clan leader's courtyard, staring at each other, no one willing to be the first to break the silence. An indescribable tension hung in the air. Even the child who had led them here, so nervous at the sight, forgot about the candy in his mouth.

In the end, it was Wei Ying who broke the silence first. He turned to Lan Wangji, greeted with a smile, "Hello, sir! I am Wei Wuxian from Guiyuan Sect." As he spoke, he performed a salute as an equal to show his respect to Lan Wangji.

Seeing this, Xue Yang, who was standing next to him, was not willing to be left behind and immediately said, "Guiyuan Sect's Xue Yang."

"I am Lan Wangji, of the Gusu Lan Clan," Lan Zhan said politely in return. His voice was deep and magnetic, conveying an irresistible sense of authority.

After hearing the three young masters' detailed accounts of their identities and origins, Clan Leader Liang's doubts were finally dispelled. He had initially worried that these two young masters might have some grudge or dispute with the Lan clan's young master, but now it seemed nothing untoward had occurred. Clan Leader Liang's brow gradually relaxed, a smile of relief spreading across his face. He realized his earlier concerns were unfounded; these three young masters had appeared not out of ill will, but rather out of friendly motives. This allowed him to communicate with them with greater peace of mind, without the fear of potential conflict.

Then, realizing that the young master of the Lan family was actually the second young master of the Lan family, Patriarch Liang was shocked. Although he didn't know the other two young masters, he was well-known to Lan Wangji, the second young master of the Gusu Lan family.

Lan Wangji, the second son of the Lan clan, was a prominent figure among the aristocratic Lan clan, renowned for his stern appearance and exceptional cultivation. Although Patriarch Liang had never seen him in person, legends about him were already widespread among the common people. Lan Wangji's appearance undoubtedly gave Patriarch Liang a glimmer of hope and confidence.

If Wei Ying and Xue Yang knew that Patriarch Liang had entrusted the task of exorcising the evil spirit to Lan Wangji, they might engage in a fierce contest in front of Patriarch Liang, vying to show their strength and prove that they were better than Lan Wangji.

However, Wei Ying and Xue Yang were unaware of what was in Chief Liang's mind. They simply continued to maintain their own attitudes, trying to win Chief Liang's trust in their own way.

"Lan Wangji? So you're the famous Second Young Master Lan!" Upon hearing the name, Wei Ying's eyebrows curved, a hint of surprise on his face. His eyes sparkled with excitement, as if he had met an old friend. "I never expected the legendary Second Young Master Lan to show up here. What a surprise!"

Wei Ying's tone was filled with respect and a hint of teasing; he had clearly heard of Lan Wangji's reputation. Xue Yang, standing nearby, looked at him with a certain scrutiny, as if assessing whether the legendary Second Young Master Lan was truly as powerful as the rumors said.

Lan Zhan's expression remained calm in response to Wei Ying's reaction, with a slight nod of his head. His gaze was penetrating, as if penetrating people's hearts, yet without any judgment. Lan Zhan's temperament was completely different from Wei Ying and Xue Yang's. He exuded a calm and reserved demeanor, which made people involuntarily develop an inexplicable sense of trust in him.
