Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

Lan Xichen stopped in front of Chaoyang, breathless, and anxiously tugged at his arms, "Senior, could you please come with me to the Lan Clan?"

Chaoyang looked at Lan Xichen in front of him, his eyes revealing an unusual anxiety. Chaoyang thought to himself, Lan Xichen has always been calm and composed, but today he is so anxious and has lost his mind. Something big must have happened. Could something have happened to Sect Master Lan? But with the Resurrection Pill, that shouldn't be the case! He asked, "What happened? Why are you so anxious?"

Lan Xichen: “It’s my father… my father… my father is possessed by an inner demon.” He then continued, “As long as Senior Xuanyuan can save my father, Xichen will do anything, even if it means…”

Chaoyang interrupted, "Let's go!"

Upon hearing this, a hint of gratitude flashed in Lan Xichen's eyes. He quickly turned around and led Chaoyang to fly towards the Lan family.

Lan Xichen led Chaoyang straight to the cold room, having forgotten the family rules. He flew straight to the cold room with Chaoyang. Lan Xichen pushed open the door, and Lan Qiren was about to ask about it, but Lan Xichen had no time to engage in conversation. He hurriedly said, "Uncle, Senior Xuanyuan is a skilled doctor with profound cultivation. If it weren't for your help this time, I wouldn't have been able to return safely. I just went out to invite you to treat my father."

Lan Qiren straightened his clothes and solemnly bowed to Chaoyang, saying gratefully, "I thank Sect Master Xuanyuan for saving Xichen. I implore you to continue your assistance and save my brother. Regardless of the outcome, the Lan family will always remember your kindness and will do our utmost to repay Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan."

Chaoyang waved his hand, ignoring him, and then said, "Let's not talk about this for now. Let's go see Sect Master Lan first."

Lan Qiren straightened up and responded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, I'll go visit my brother first. Please follow me."

Chaoyang slowly walked to the bedside, gently sat down, and then carefully grasped Qing Hengjun's wrist and began to carefully feel his pulse. After a moment, he cast a spell with both hands, exploring Sect Master Lan's soul. Then, his brows knitted together, and his expression turned gloomy.

Witnessing this scene, everyone present felt a wave of unease, a wave of worry brewing in their hearts. Lan Qiren, even more anxiously, asked, "Fellow Daoist Xuanyuan, has something happened to my brother?" He spoke the last two words with remarkable difficulty.

Chaoyang put down his hands and said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "He is fine. In his dream, he is enjoying the happy life of a family of four."

When Lan Qiren and Lan Xichen heard this, they didn't understand what it meant.

Chaoyang's words were filled with dissatisfaction and disappointment with Qingheng Jun. After coming out of seclusion, Qingheng Jun had indeed lived up to the demeanor and sense of responsibility expected of a clan leader. However, now it seemed that Chaoyang felt that his expectations of Qingheng Jun were too high. Qingheng Jun still seemed so irresponsible, which made Chaoyang very disappointed.

The Lan family is in a turbulent time. As the head of the clan, Qing Hengjun has barely survived the crisis and should have devoted all his efforts to preside over the overall situation and stabilize the situation.

But look at what Sect Leader Lan is doing now? Even though he knows it is an illusion, he is still indulging in the illusion created by his inner demon.

Chaoyang had just used his divine sense to penetrate into Sect Master Lan's realm of consciousness and clearly observed Sect Master Lan glance in his direction. Chaoyang immediately realized that Sect Master Lan had realized that he was in an illusion, but had chosen to exile himself, refusing to face reality and awaken from the illusion.

What a coward.

Lan Xichen observed Chaoyang's expression and realized that he was angry. He said earnestly, "Senior..."

Chaoyang glanced at Lan Xichen. "I really owe you guys this." Suppressing his inner anger, he said coldly, "I can wake someone up, but it's up to him to completely resolve his inner demons."

Lan Xichen and Lan Qiren were shocked after hearing this. They knew that what Chaoyang said was true. After all, the root of the inner demon lies in the individual's heart, and external forces can only play a supporting role.

Lan Xichen took a deep breath, composed himself, and then said slowly, "Senior, I understand what you mean. As long as Father can wake up, that's all that matters."

Chaoyang didn't care about the reactions of the people present. He just stood up, took a step back, put his hands together, and quickly flipped his fingers. Clumsy and complicated seals took shape one after another.

"The Way of Heaven is infinite—all things return to their origin, heaven and earth are in formation, yin and yang are reversed, vast as if boundless, calming the soul."

As Chaoyang finished his words, a golden magic circle suddenly unfolded above Lan Sect Master Qingheng Jun's head, disappearing in an instant. Chaoyang then tossed a jade bottle to Lan Qiren and said, "Qingxin Pill. Take one daily when he wakes up."

Lan Qiren took the jade bottle and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Master Xuanyuan, is this complete?"

Chaoyang turned his head, looked at Lan Qiren, and replied, "What else?"

Exorcism itself has the power to expel evil and suppress demons, so dealing with a trivial inner demon is no problem. Seeing Lan Qiren's doubts, Chaoyang explained, "The magic array just now has sealed the inner demon within the sea of ​​consciousness and created a protective barrier for Sect Master Lan's soul, ensuring it will not be seduced by the inner demon. To completely eradicate the inner demon, Sect Master Lan must rely on his own efforts; outside assistance will not be decisive."

Lan Xichen witnessed Chaoyang cast the magic circle and understood its power. As soon as Chaoyang retracted it, he knew his father was no longer in danger. Despite this, he still anxiously asked, "Senior, when will my father wake up?"

Before Chaoyang could respond, he saw Qinghengjun on the bed make a slight sound and slowly open his eyes.

Chaoyang: "Already awake."

Upon hearing this, everyone present involuntarily looked towards the bed. Qingheng Jun, who had been unconscious and almost breathless, suddenly opened his eyes. His gaze, though a bit hazy, was noticeably more lively than before. Qingheng Jun's lips trembled slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but his voice was too faint for others to hear.

Lan Qiren and Lan Xichen hurried over and said, "Father." "Brother."

Qing Hengjun's vision gradually focused. He looked at the people gathered around the bed, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes. He took a deep breath and raised his voice with an effort: "I..." Although his voice was weak, it was enough to make everyone present hold their breath and listen. Qing Hengjun continued: "Xichen, Qiren, I'm sorry to have worried you." His voice was still weak, but it was a great improvement compared to the previous soundless coma.

Lan Qiren and Lan Xichen exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with incredible joy. "I'm glad you're okay."

Chao Yang then spoke up, "Sect Master Lan, although the inner demon has been sealed, it only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. I ask you to reconsider and find a way to completely eradicate it. After all, if the inner demon is not completely eliminated, there is a risk of it resurfacing in the future."
