Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

Lan Xichen's face lit up with joy upon seeing the newcomer, but due to the solemnity of the occasion, he struggled to contain his excitement. Taking a deep breath, Lan Xichen slowly stood up, cupping his hands slightly in a salute, and whispered, "Master Xuanyuan, how are you?" His voice, though low, carried clearly throughout the hall, drawing the attention of everyone.

Sect Master Xuanyuan nodded slightly, a faint smile on his face. His eyes swept over the people in the hall, finally stopping on Qingheng Jun. "Sect Master Lan, it's been a long time."

Qing Hengjun also stood up to return the greeting, his expression tinged with respect. "Master Xuanyuan, you have come from afar. I apologize for not welcoming you." His words were humbly polite, yet also implied respect for the Master. Lan Qiren stood aside, his gaze penetrating, as if pondering the purpose of Master Xuanyuan's visit.

Xuanyuan Sect Leader waved his hand lightly, indicating that there was no need for formalities.

When everyone heard this, they stepped forward and greeted, "It's Sect Master Xuanyuan!" The originally oppressive atmosphere seemed to loosen a little.

At this moment, Jin Guangshan scrambled to his feet, his face turning pale and blue. He had obviously not expected Sect Master Xuanyuan to appear at this time. He forced himself to remain calm and said, "I don't know why Sect Master Xuanyuan attacked me..."

Everyone then remembered Jin Guangshan, who had been sent flying. They stopped talking, wanting to hear what Sect Leader Xuanyuan had to say, but Chaoyang didn't speak. Instead, Wei Wuxian, standing beside him, curled his lips into a playful smile. His gaze finally fell on Jin Guangshan, and he said coldly, "Sect Leader Jin is truly resourceful. You even have the nerve to say such ridiculous things." He continued, "Originally, my junior brother and I were only looking for trouble with Jiang Fengmian's family. We had already ignored his concubine and son. Who would have thought that you, Jin Guangshan, would suddenly intervene, claiming to take Yunmeng? Sect Leader Jin, you don't even take me, Wei Wuxian, seriously!!"

Jin Guangshan was left speechless by Wei Wuxian's words, his expression becoming increasingly grim. He glanced at everyone present, and ultimately left without saying anything, leading the Jin family's people away with a gloomy expression.

With Jin Guangshan's departure, the entire post-war reward ceremony could be considered a complete success. Considering the exhaustion of the immortal families after the war, no banquet was held. Everyone returned to their respective homes and began to rebuild.

The immortal sect masters all expressed their agreement and, after bidding farewell to Qing Heng Jun, Chi Feng Zun, and Xuan Yuan Zongzhu, they eagerly took their assigned items and left. They couldn't wait to see what they had obtained.

Once the people from the hundreds of immortal families left, only those who knew each other well were left.

Before Qing Heng Jun and Nie Ming Jue had a chance to respond, Chao Yang said goodbye to Qing Heng Jun and Chi Feng Zun, saying, "I came here only to bring A Ying and the others home. I have no other intentions. Please rest assured."

Lan Xichen wanted to say something, but considering the elders present, he swallowed his unfinished words, a look of reluctance on his face. Meng Yao sat across from him, and could see Lan Xichen's expression clearly. Her hands clenched into fists, and she cursed inwardly, wishing she could inflict more wounds on Lan Xichen's face.

With the Sun Shooting Controversy over, a vast amount of urgent matters needed to be dealt with, both within the clans and in the newly expanded territories, leaving each clan incredibly busy. Qing Hengjun and Chi Fengzun, needing no further discussion, agreed to reconvene once matters were resolved.

Chaoyang took Wei Wuxian, who said goodbye to Lan Wangji reluctantly, and left the Nevernight City in a carriage.

Lan Xichen stood atop the high city wall, silently watching the carriage drive away. In his hand, he clutched a storage bag containing a white jade hair crown—a gift from Chaoyang for his coming-of-age ceremony.

No, that was not a gift from the morning sun. It was given to you by the morning sun when you looked at it with a wronged look on your face, wanting to cry but not crying.

Lan Xichen looked reluctantly in the direction where the carriage disappeared, then called to his brother who was still watching to walk down the city wall together.

In the near future, they will be reunited again and will never be separated again.

Ever since he failed to get Yunmeng back, Jin Guangshan became more and more angry, and finally decided to follow the example of his previous life, sending out invitations and organizing a hunting party in Baifeng Mountain.

Even Chaoyang's invitation was delivered to Nie Huaisang by Jin Guangshan, who asked him to pass it on.

A small bamboo courtyard deep in the Yiling mass grave.

Chaoyang toyed with the invitation Nie Huaisang had just delivered. Wei Wuxian, Meng Yao, Fen Hua, and Xue Yang, who had rushed over after receiving the news, saw their uncle, his hair disheveled and his robe casually draped, rocking leisurely in a rocking chair, a glittering golden invitation in his hand as if it were a fan. Nie Huaisang sat nearby, looking a little uneasy, unsure what to do.

Wei Wuxian sat on a bench with a relaxed demeanor. He casually picked up a piece of watermelon from the plate beside him and began to chew it with relish, making crisp "crunch, crunch" sounds. While enjoying the sweetness of the watermelon, he said to his uncle beside him, "Uncle, you are so leisurely! We are so busy. There are too many evil corpses and ghosts in this mass grave."

Chaoyang knew why these brats came, so he threw the invitation into Meng Yao's arms and said, "Get ready, it's time to deal with the Jin family."

Meng Yao hurriedly took the invitation and bowed to Chaoyang: "Yes, Sect Master." In this scene, Meng Yao accepted the invitation as an elder of Guiyuan Sect.

Chaoyang raised his eyelids slightly and asked, "Huaisang, have you discussed it with the Lan family?"

"It's settled. We originally planned to go to Jinlingtai after finishing family affairs, but Jin Guangshan actually sent out invitations and held a banquet. This gave us a rare opportunity that we naturally couldn't miss."

It all began when Wen Ruohan, on his deathbed, revealed to Nie Mingjue that he wasn't their father's murderer. That same night, Nie Huaisang confessed everything to his elder brother. Upon learning that Jin Guangshan had murdered his father, Nie Mingjue nearly attempted to attack Jinling Terrace that very night, but Nie Huaisang desperately tried to stop him. As a last resort, Nie Huaisang revealed his plan, though he concealed the fact that Wen Ruohan was still alive, and even the fact that some of the Nie clan's disciples were still alive.

"It's all arranged." He continued, "Go to Guiyuan Sect and carefully select some people. Wen Qing and the others should also go. It's time for our Guiyuan Sect to be officially born."

Wei Wuxian patted his chest and said confidently, "Uncle, please rest assured. We will never let Guiyuan Sect be underestimated. I will arrange it right away." Before he finished speaking, he quickly moved out of the house, leaving two clearly visible wet handprints on his chest.

Xue Yang and Fen Hua, who were standing nearby, didn't say anything but rushed out right after him. Xue Yang shouted, "Brother, wait for us. We'll come and help too."

Only Chaoyang, Nie Huaisang, and Meng Yao were left in the room. Chaoyang said, "You two should get busy too!"

Nie Huaisang nodded gently and stood up. As the sun rose, he turned and asked his uncle, "Uncle, how long will it take us to finish this arduous work in this desolate mass grave?"

Chaoyang looked up at the sky. The blue sky, previously obscured by haze and resentment, gradually began to emerge. Sunlight filtered through the clouds, shimmering onto the earth, bringing new hope and strength. With a firm, deep gaze, he replied, "It's almost there. There's only one hill left. Once we conquer it, everything in the mass grave will come to a successful conclusion."

Hearing Chaoyang's words, Nie Huaisang smiled, feeling relieved. He then followed Meng Yao's lead and went to discuss something with Wen Ruohan.

Chaoyang watched the two of them go away, then looked up at the resentment condensed among the mountains not far away, and thought to himself that heavenly punishment was about to come, and this world would usher in a true rebirth.
