Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

For Wei Ying, Xue Yang and Lan Wangji, time seemed to pass by quickly without them noticing; however, for the villagers in the small fishing village who were living day by day, time seemed to have become unusually long.

After the spirits returned, Wei Ying, Xue Yang, and Lan Wangji spent another half day on the cliff. Working together, they sent all the lingering spirits to the afterlife. [This excluded the Zhao family of four, as they had died so recently that their resentment and anger were so strong that they couldn't be liberated in such a short time.] They also purified the impenetrable area beneath the cliff. After completing this, the three of them set out again for the fishing village.

This time, Wei Ying, Xue Yang, and Lan Wangji finally saw the expressions of fear and regret on the villagers' faces, as well as the dark circles under their eyes caused by long-term fear and anxiety. Obviously, the villagers have deeply realized their mistakes and regretted what they had done.

"Master, help me!" The villagers fell to their knees, their faces filled with despair and exhaustion. For the past five days, they had endured endless torture, a hellish experience, unbearable pain. But they simply couldn't endure this endless torment, as if every minute and every second was a torture worse than death.

The villagers tried to escape these horrific nightmares by staying awake, but human instinct was ultimately irresistible, and they would inevitably fall asleep at some point. However, once they fell asleep, the terrifying dreams followed them like a shadow, dragging them back into the endless abyss. This cycle, day after day, made them feel that life had become unbearable, as if there was only endless darkness and despair ahead.

When Wei Ying, Xue Yang, and Lan Wangji appeared before everyone, the villagers who had been blaming and arguing with each other suddenly forgot all the bad words they had said to them, even though they had been scolding them for days. They all knelt on the ground and begged for their help.

The villagers' fear and helplessness at this moment were in stark contrast to their previous attitude.

Seeing this, Wei Ying couldn't help but recall the painful and sad moments he'd experienced during his empathy sessions, and a surge of anger surged within him. He couldn't help but sarcastically retort, "Ha! Are you scared now? What did you do back then?" His tone was filled with anger and dissatisfaction, clearly indicating his extreme dissatisfaction with these people's previous actions.

"We were wrong, really wrong! We will never make the same mistake again!"

"It's good to recognize your mistakes. I believe some of you know what you have done. This time, I will take them away. If anyone does evil again in the future, they will bear the consequences themselves!"

"Thank you, Immortal! Thank you!" After Wei Ying said this, all the villagers in the small fishing village thanked him with tears of joy.

After Wei Ying finished speaking, he no longer had any intention of preaching. He turned around, took Xue Yang and Lan Wangji and flew away on his sword.

"Wei Ying." Lan Wangji's voice was particularly clear in the silent sky.

"Hmm?" Wei Ying turned his head with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"Are we just going to leave like this? What if those villagers do something evil again?" Lan Wangji frowned, a trace of worry flashing in his eyes. He knew all too well that human greed was the reason. How could those villagers, having tasted the sweetness of their own gains, easily give up the benefits that were within their reach?

Wei Ying was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke: "Lan Zhan, I left the soul orb behind, and those who do evil will never be able to get rid of it." There was a hint of determination in his voice, and it was obvious that he had a plan.

Of course Wei Ying knew what Lan Wangji meant. But people's hearts were fickle, and no matter how much we warned them, it would be useless. As soon as we left, the villagers would be unscrupulous and would do evil again. So Wei Ying didn't try to test people's hearts, something that could not withstand the slightest breeze, but instead let go of the obvious pressure.

A group of people who are used to not behaving like human beings, it’s better to secretly put a sword on their heads!

Wei Ying's plan was to make those people feel threatened at all times, so that they wouldn't dare to commit crimes again. He believed that only when someone saw the consequences of evil would others restrain themselves.

Lan Wangji nodded, but he still felt uneasy. "Can you control the soul orb?"

"I can control it naturally, Lan Zhan, don't worry." Wei Ying's soul is engraved on the soul bead. If he can't control it, then Wei Ying's years of training would be in vain.

Lan Zhan frowned slightly when he heard this, but still nodded. He believed in Wei Ying's ability.

"Among the four members of the Zhao family, one has a vengeful spirit in the ghost realm, and it is not easy to eliminate his obsession. Wei Ying, what are your plans to convert them?" Lan Wangji continued to ask, and hurriedly added: "It's not that I don't believe you!" After all, Lan Wangji witnessed Wei Ying's feat of purifying the Shuixing Abyss with his own eyes, and he firmly believed that Wei Ying had the ability to purify the vengeful spirits.

"Well! Actually, the purification is already underway, but the process may take some time and will not be completed so quickly." Lan Wangji, confused and puzzled, could not help but ask: "...Has the purification started?" He frowned slightly, obviously a little surprised by this situation.

"Yes," Wei Ying answered concisely, without explaining the reasons in detail, but his tone revealed a hint of firmness and confidence.

At this moment, Xue Yang, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up, "We don't act like you so-called immortals. You always act in a condescending manner, treating those who cannot be converted or accepted by you with a stern attitude, and you will exterminate or suppress them without hesitation. It's simply inhumane."

Lan Wangji (who doesn’t care about anything): …

"Why do you say that?"

Xue Yang said with a hint of impatience, "As long as someone offers enough money, regardless of the reason and the circumstances, people with conscience might inquire about the cause and consider their actions with caution. However, most of the immortal sects adopt the approach of directly eliminating those who cannot be converted, suppressing those who cannot be eliminated, or simply concealing the truth and choosing not to deal with them. Just like this time, didn't that immortal sect do that?"

"And those innocent people who died tragically, were they wronged? Being murdered is tragic enough. Those who kill will be killed. The strong prey on the weak. Isn't this the norm in the world of cultivation? When those who turned into vengeful ghosts for revenge fought back, you just eliminated them without even asking questions! Oh! You think killing is just natural, but those victims who turned into vengeful ghosts and came back for revenge are considered heinous crimes? Don't forget that those beings who turned into evil spirits were once living people before they became evil spirits!"

After Xue Yang finished speaking, Wei Ying continued, "As for suppression, it can't eradicate it at all. On the contrary, the resentment will only accumulate under suppression, and won't it become more ferocious? This is clearly sowing hidden dangers for future generations! Once this hidden danger erupts, the consequences will be unimaginable! If you don't believe it, why not take a look at the tragic situation of the mass graves in Yiling! Hundreds of years have passed, and the hundreds of immortal families can only rely on the curse wall to seal it. Lan Zhan, I don't believe you haven't noticed that the resentment in the mass graves is getting stronger year by year. I also don't believe that no one among the hundreds of immortal families has noticed it!"

Wei Ying continued, "It's just that you, the hundreds of immortal sects, think you are so superior that you believe the mass graves are managed by the Wen Clan and that you can just sit back and do nothing about it."

Lan Wangji fell silent. Even though what Wei Ying and Xue Yang said sounded harsh, it was the truth.
