Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

Lord Qingheng stopped arguing with Jin Guangshan and said, "Wen Ruohan is dead, and the remaining Wen clan members have surrendered. Everyone should go back and rest today. Tomorrow we will begin to count the Wen clan's property and assess their military achievements."

The immortal sect masters all praised him, but there was still a hint of hesitation in their expressions. At this moment, Nie Huaisang was about to interrupt and say, "Masters, please wait a moment." The immortal sect masters stopped and listened to Nie Huaisang's opinions.

Nie Huaisang bowed respectfully to the clan leaders present and said with difficulty, "The Wen clan has too many treasures, but I'm short on manpower. I wonder if the clan leaders would be willing to take the trouble to send some men to help me guard the gate to the treasury."

Upon hearing this, the immortal sect masters' eyes lit up and they all said, "This is not a big deal. We will arrange for manpower right away."

A hint of smile flashed across the eyes of Qing Hengjun and Lan Qiren. Nie Huaisang's consideration was indeed thoughtful. His act of borrowing people cleverly dispersed the power of the immortal sect leaders. There was no need to worry about the Wen family's wealth being embezzled by the Nie or Lan family.

Upon hearing this, Jin Guangshan involuntarily cast his gaze towards Meng Yao, who sat quietly nearby, hoping for his opinion. However, no matter how Jin Guangshan gestured, Meng Yao remained silent. Realizing he could gain no advantage from this, Jin Guangshan tossed his sleeves and followed the other sect leaders down the mountain.

Wei Wuxian and the others did not intend to interfere with the inventory of property. After all, the things in the Wen family's treasure house were only a small part, and the bulk of them had been taken away by Wen Ruohan long ago. However, Nie Huaisang finally took Meng Yao away. It was their spoils, and they were theirs. Even if they had enough, they would not allow others to get their hands on it.

It took three days to complete the inventory. On the day of the rewards distribution, Wei Wuxian, Meng Yao, and Xue Yang sat in to keep watch. The three of them didn't need to do anything, just sit there. The restored Yanyang Palace was quiet, with only the sound of breathing to be heard.

Nie Huaisang took out the battle merit list and began to distribute it. Wen Ruohan was killed by Nie Mingjue, Lan Xichen, Lan Wangji, and Wei Wuxian, so the four of them should get the most credit and get the majority of the spoils.

[The battle power list here only exists because of Wei Wuxian's joining. After all, before Wei Wuxian joined, most of the territories of the hundreds of immortal families had been taken away by the Wen family.]

The Nie and Lan clans contributed the most to the battle, naturally receiving a significant share. The remainder was distributed among the hundreds of immortal clans according to their achievements. Although the Jin clan made some contributions in the early stages of the war, their performance began to decline with the arrival of Wei Wuxian, leading to frequent requests for support. After deducting the costs of Xue Yang and Fen Hua's support, the Jin clan might even have had to pay out of pocket if it weren't for Jin Zixuan's personal exploits.

Jin Guangshan's face suddenly paled at this development. All his painstaking planning and calculations had ultimately yielded nothing, not even his son receiving a title. All his efforts seemed to have been for naught. But with Wei Wuxian around, he didn't dare claim Meng Yao's share of the war credit, so he could only endure it.

After the distribution of property, most of the immortal sect leaders were satisfied, and the next step was the division of territory.

According to the agreement, whoever conquered the land would own it, and if anyone wanted a piece of land, they could exchange it for other land or property. The hall suddenly became like a market, with the sound of bargaining everywhere: "I want this piece, can you trade it for the piece to the east of you?"

The Lan, Nie, and Wei Wuxian had also conquered considerable territory. If the Hundred Immortal Clan had a need, they would cautiously approach them to discuss exchanges. They weren't pushy, and as long as sincerity was shown, they were willing to trade. However, a few territories proved thorny. First, there was Yiling, with its mass graves, a thorny issue no one was willing to take on. Then there was Qishan's Nevernight Sky. Honestly, even with Wen Ruohan's passing, his intimidating influence on the Hundred Immortal Clan remained, and no one dared to encroach.

In the end, Yiling was "given" to Wei Wuxian by the hundreds of immortal families. After all, Yiling was Wei Wuxian's territory in his previous life.

Qishan was eventually abandoned by all the immortal families, until the discussion of Yunmeng's ownership came about, when Jin Guangshan intervened again, claiming that Yunmeng originally belonged to the Jiang family and should be returned.

The immortal sect masters present were practically amused by his shamelessness. One of them said, "Let's not even mention that the territory belongs to the conqueror. Even if Yunmeng belongs to the Jiang family, the four members of the Jiang family are prisoners..." He hadn't finished speaking when Jin Guangshan interrupted, "Who said there's no one?" He glanced at his subordinates, and his trusted aides immediately understood and quickly left. Soon, a woman and a two-year-old child were brought up. It was Jiang Fengmian's concubine and her young son.

Wei Wuxian and Fen Hua, who witnessed this scene, couldn't help but laugh. They had originally had no intention of completely eradicating them, and had deliberately forgotten about them in the corner. Unexpectedly, Jin Guangshan pushed them to the front. Did he really think they wouldn't dare to take action?!

Jin Guangshan said proudly, "This lady is Jiang Fengmian's concubine, and the child is also Jiang Fengmian's. Although Jiang Fengmian and his family are currently imprisoned, they have not committed any evil deeds. Therefore, the land of Yunmeng should be returned to its original owner."

Just as Jin Guangshan finished his words, he was suddenly struck by a surge of spiritual energy. He flew out uncontrollably and fell heavily to the ground, roaring angrily, "How shameless!!"

This scene surprised everyone present. They nervously turned their eyes to the outside of the hall, trying to find the source of this spiritual power.

Wei Ying and the others who recognized the voice's owner immediately stood up excitedly, their faces filled with unconcealable joy. They hurried out of the hall, shouting, "Uncle."

Lan Xichen had originally planned to follow Wei Wuxian's footsteps. If Lan Wangji had not pulled him back in time, and Meng Yao had not reminded him with a snort, he might have already rushed out of the hall.

As Lan Xichen regained consciousness, he saw his father and uncle looking at him with puzzled eyes. Why did Xichen lose his composure today?

Lan Xichen coughed softly and apologized to Qing Hengjun and Lan Xichen, "I'm sorry." If they hadn't seen their crush in over three years, they would surely feel the same irresistible urge to run towards him or her. Although Lan Xichen looked apologetic, his gaze never left the hall entrance, anticipating the appearance of that familiar figure.

Qing Hengjun and Lan Qiren exchanged a glance, their suspicions lingering, yet they hesitated to question. Then, steady footsteps echoed from outside the hall, followed by a tall figure who slowly entered. The figure, clad in a dark robe, had a stern expression, yet a subtle warmth shone in his eyes. As he approached, the atmosphere within the hall seemed to grow more solemn. Everyone held their breath, staring intently, secretly speculating on the identity of this uninvited guest.
