Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

Watching Meng Yao and Fen Hua depart, Wen Ruohan sighed softly, his gaze once again fixed on Nie Mingjue's back. Though the wound had been treated, it still looked horrific. He said gravely, "I say, couldn't you two have offered some words of assistance? Just letting them go like that?"

Qing Hengjun rolled his eyes and responded with contempt, "Your efforts are in vain. I don't believe you haven't noticed that they are not friendly to us. You must be unaware of how we treated them in our last life. In this life, with the planning of Sect Master Xuanyuan, and the addition of Wen Qing and others from your own family, Huaisang from the Nie family, and Wangji from the Lan family, I'm afraid our major families have long ceased to exist. Now our relationship depends entirely on them. If they weren't present, how could the people from the Guiyuan Sect easily travel with us?"

Wen Ruohan's expression froze upon hearing this; he naturally understood what Qing Hengjun meant. The grudges and entanglements of their previous lives had vanished, but the hurt they had suffered was like a brand, deeply engraved in their hearts.

He was silent for a moment, then smiled helplessly: "Sect Master Lan is right, it is me who is too naive."

Qing Hengjun: “….” It was so funny that the sect leader was so naive, but Qing Hengjun didn’t expose him.

Nie Mingjue listened from the side, remaining silent.

Fen Hua pulled Meng Yao's clenched hands away, and seeing that she was not injured, she said, "Don't hurt yourself, it's all over."

Meng Yao smiled lightly and held Fen Hua's hand with her backhand: "I'm fine, let's go."

..................

The main peak of Guiyuan Sect.

The head of Danfeng Peak said, "Master, it's already the third day. If you don't make a decision, Ling Jin will never wake up and will be consumed to death by his inner demon."

"Qingyuan, I have used my spiritual sense to enter Ajin's sea of ​​mind, and I didn't find any inner demons. However, his sea of ​​consciousness is in chaos, as if shrouded by some powerful force, and I can't get a glimpse of its full picture. I have never seen such a situation before. It is really too weird. Do you know why?" Qingxu Jianzun looked solemn, with a frown on his face.

The Danfeng Peak Master was astonished and asked, "Master Brother, when did you enter? How could I not know? The Heart Sea is not a place that can be easily entered. Let me take a look."

As he spoke, Danfeng Peak Master Qingyuan reached out, placed his hand on Qingxu Jianzun's wrist, and began to feel his pulse. A moment later, Qingyuan's expression grew increasingly serious. "Master, your spirit is turbulent. This is clearly a spiritual attack. You must cease this risky behavior immediately. Otherwise, not only will you fail to rescue Lingjin, but you will also be in danger."

Upon hearing this, Qingxu Sword Master sighed softly, "I know that, but I raised Ling Jin single-handedly. I can't just watch him unable to wake up and become trapped in this illusion."

Hearing this, Qingyuan shook his head slightly. "Master, I understand your feelings, but the responsibility you shoulder is also crucial. You can't let a momentary emotion disregard the entire sect. Ling Jin's situation is unclear right now, so we must take a long-term view and find a foolproof plan."

Qingxu Sword Master was silent for a moment after hearing this. He slowly sat down beside the Lingjin couch and said, "Wait a little longer! If it doesn't work, I'll go get the Supreme Elder."

Qingxu Jianzun's decision made Danfeng Peak Master Qingyuan secretly anxious, but he also understood the importance of Lingjin to the headmaster, so he said nothing more. He sighed softly and said, "Headmaster, you must be careful and don't force yourself."

Qingxu Jianzun nodded slightly, his gaze fell on the unconscious Ling Jin again, and he thought to himself: No matter what, I must save Ling Jin, no matter how great the price.

Time passed slowly amidst the anxious wait, and the entire Guiyuan Sect's main peak was shrouded in a tense atmosphere. Disciples hurried to and fro, their expressions solemn.

Three more days passed, and Ling Jin still hadn't woken up.

Qingxu Jianzun frowned and turned to the Danfeng Peak Master sitting behind him and said, "You stay here and guard him closely. I'm going to go out for a while."

The Danfeng Peak Master said helplessly: "I understand."

Qingxu Sword Master had just risen, turned back, and cast a barrier around Lingjin before leaving without a worry. In a flash, he vanished from the scene, leaving behind only a faint trace of sword light, which traced a graceful arc in the air. Danfeng Peak Master Qingyuan gazed in the direction Qingxu Sword Master had departed, his eyes filled with worry. With a soft sigh, he turned back to Lingjin's side, continuing to watch over him, hoping for a miracle.

The Danfeng Peak Master sat in the seat once occupied by Qingxu Sword Master, muttering to himself, "Ling Jin! If you don't wake up, your master and Ling Chao will be driven mad with worry. One of them went to seek out the Grand Elders, and the other almost switched from sword cultivation to alchemy cultivation to wake you up."

He reached out and gently touched Ling Jin's forehead, his eyes filled with love and concern. Ling Jin's face remained pale, showing no signs of improvement. Qing Yuan wondered to himself: What kind of illusion is this? It's so powerful that even the headmaster's spiritual sense can't fully grasp it?

He sighed, pulled out the alchemy book he had been flipping through for who knows how long, and began to study it carefully again, trying to find a way to awaken the spirit ember. As he flipped through page after page, pondered line after line, Qingyuan's brow furrowed deeper and deeper, but the determination in his eyes remained undimmed.

However, after flipping through the book for a long time, Qingyuan still couldn't find a satisfactory answer. He gently closed the book and his eyes fell on Ling Jin again, thinking to himself: Perhaps, I can try to refine some elixirs to help restore his spirit. Although it may not necessarily wake Ling Jin up, it can at least help his body.

.........

Guiyuan Sect's forbidden area.

Qingxu Sword Master knelt before the gate of the forbidden area and said, "Disciple Qingxu, I beg the Supreme Elder to come out of seclusion."

However, the forbidden area was completely silent, with no response. Undeterred, Sword Master Qingxu kowtowed respectfully once more and raised his voice, "Disciple Qingxu, I beg the Supreme Elder to come out of seclusion and save Ling Jin."

The forbidden area was still completely silent, as if even the sound of the wind had been blocked out. Qingxu Jianzun was extremely anxious, but he also knew that the Grand Elder was in seclusion and would not easily emerge. He had come here with the intention of giving it a try.

He kowtowed again, stood up and stood in front of the gate of the forbidden area, his eyes firm and persistent.

At this moment, an old and majestic voice suddenly rang out from within the forbidden area: "Qingxu, do you know the consequences of disturbing my retreat?"

Upon hearing this, Qingxu Sword Master was delighted and quickly said, "Disciple knows, but Ling Jin's condition is critical. Disciple really has no other options, so I dared to ask the Supreme Elder to come out of seclusion."

The voice from within the forbidden area rang out again: "Hmph, I've been in seclusion for many years just to break through. If you come to disturb me now, won't all my efforts be wasted?"

Qingxu Jianzun's heart tightened, but he still said stubbornly: "Disciple is willing to bear all consequences, I only ask the Supreme Elder to save Ling Jin."

There was silence for a moment within the forbidden area, and then the old voice sounded again, with a hint of helplessness: "Go back! He will wake up soon."

Upon hearing this, Qingxu Sword Master's eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, but more of a surprise. He quickly said, "Thank you, Grand Elder. I'll take my leave." With that, he turned and left. In a flash, he disappeared from the spot, leaving only a faint sword light that drew a graceful arc in the air.
