Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

Qing Heng Jun said, "We'll make plans after the situation stabilizes." He then asked, "Has there been any news from Sect Master Xuanyuan?"

"Senior Xuanyuan is in seclusion, and now Elder Meng and the others are in charge of everything." When Lan Xichen heard his father mention Chaoyang, his ears moved unconsciously.

Since their last separation, they hadn't seen each other again, not even exchanging letters. If Chaoyang hadn't informed Lan Xichen through telepathy before leaving that he was going into seclusion to cultivate, Lan Xichen would have likely bothered Meng Yao to find out about Chaoyang's situation. After all, Meng Yao was the one who knew about their relationship.

Qing Hengjun: "Is that so?" He changed the subject and asked, "How many new species have each family discovered so far?"

Lan Xichen: "Within the Lan family's territory, we have confirmed the discovery of thirty-six plant-based creatures, twenty-three of which have been confirmed as spiritual plants. This achievement is attributed to the plant spiritual maps distributed to each family by Wen Qing, the Wen Clan leader of the Qihuang family. As for the remaining plant-based creatures, they fall into the category of demonic beasts. In addition, we have discovered sixty-two animal-based creatures, thirty-one of which are confirmed as spiritual beasts, and the rest are classified as demonic beasts. The exact number discovered in other family territories is still unknown, but judging by the responses from each family, most of the new species discovered are similar."

After hearing this, Lord Qing Heng nodded slightly and asked, "Are there any casualties among the disciples?"

Hearing this, Lan Xichen's face became solemn, and he said worriedly, "Recently, the rate of increase in spiritual energy has been unusually rapid, causing the number of evil spirits and demonic beasts to seem to be increasing, and their strength is also gradually increasing. Those with advanced cultivation can still cope with it, but for those disciples with lower cultivation, they can only rely on the advantage in numbers to barely hold on. If the situation continues to deteriorate, casualties will be inevitable. We have tried our best to strengthen the protective measures of our disciples, but the attacks of evil spirits and demonic beasts are becoming more and more fierce, and the risk of casualties among our disciples is also increasing." Lan Xichen frowned at this point, his expression full of worry.

After hearing this, Lord Qingheng remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking, "Xichen, pass the order down. Construct protective formations in all of the Lan clan's towns and dispatch disciples to garrison and eliminate any evil spirits and demonic beasts. The primary priority is to ensure the safety of the people. All other matters can be postponed until the world upgrade is complete."

Lan Xichen's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he bowed respectfully, "As you command, father."

They talked for a while and then went about their business.

It was late in the evening when Lan Xichen dragged his exhausted body back to his room. He took out the jade pendant he had not yet finished carving from his bosom and thought to himself, "I wonder when he will come out of seclusion."

"Hah!" Chaoyang, who had just emerged from a trap set by some Daoist outside the Chaos Primordial System, suddenly sneezed loudly. He paused and was nearly swallowed by the Chaos Rift nearby. Fortunately, Chaoyang managed to steady himself in time, put on some extra protection, and successfully retreated from the direction of the Chaos Rift.

Chaoyang patted his chest with lingering fear and said to himself: "Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have lost my life here." I don't know who was thinking of him at this time, it was really the wrong time, and he almost died.

Chaoyang calmed his mind and continued forward. No wonder the inherited memories mentioned that beyond the chaos lay the graveyard of Daoists. This wasn't groundless. This was merely the outer perimeter. The space here seemed distorted, sometimes condensing, sometimes dissipating, creating a feeling both real and illusory. The sudden appearance of demonic beasts above, the myriad traps and cracks, and the mere thought of carelessness could lead to death. This was simply not a place for humans.
