Demonic Dao Fanfiction: Protecting You from Worries for a Lifetime

After the Lan family's course was over, the Lan clan leader Qing Hengjun decided not to delay any longer and began to conduct a thorough investigation within the Lan family.

Not long after, in the Lan family's ancestral hall, Qingheng Qingheng Jun clutched the letter tightly, his face twisted, his eyes filled with hatred, and he squeezed out the words through his teeth, word by word: "Kill, ask the spirit."

Lan Qiren's tone was somewhat euphemistic as he slowly asked, "Brother, does this have to be this way?"

Qing Hengjun said solemnly: "Qi Ren, I have let her down, and the Lan family has also let her down."

Lan Qiren's face turned pale upon hearing this. He forced himself to remain calm and replied, "Since that's the case, I'll do as you wish, brother!"

Following Qing Hengjun's command, all elders and disciples found to have problems during their studies were secretly brought to the Lan Clan's ancestral hall for questioning. Finally, Qing Hengjun added coldly, "Those who refuse to obey will be killed and their spirits interrogated."

With such an unwavering attitude, the news revealed left everyone present dumbfounded, and made them break out in cold sweats and tremble with fear.

Today, the Lan family has become the back garden of hundreds of immortal families. Spies and spies can be placed there at will, and there is no secret at all.

As the amount of information they received continued to grow, the expressions of the Lan family members present grew increasingly gloomy. They had always prided themselves on being upright and honest, and refusing to be tainted by the world. However, the corpse before them today was like a hammer, shattering their pride and beliefs.

The Lan family is human, naturally possessing desires and aspirations. Besides those lurking spies, many Lan clan members have also committed crimes. However, precisely because of their family's prestige, the victims' complaints are often ignored, ultimately leading to the tragic destruction of their families.

The Lan family, perhaps having been high and mighty for too long, never considered that others would take advantage of their noble character, ultimately becoming a knife in the hands of others.

Lan Qiren's chest felt as if a thousand-pound weight was pressing down on it, making him feel suffocated.

Only then did he understand that his master's death was caused by the instigation of Jin's spies, which led to his committing a serious mistake and committing suicide, not because of his sister-in-law.

The reason he orchestrated this conspiracy and instigated his master to take action against the Lin family was simply because the Lin family was rumored to possess a treasure that could help one break through the Golden Elixir bottleneck. On Jin Guangshan's birthday, he deliberately pretended to be seriously injured after the treasure was stolen, in order to lure his master, with whom he had a certain friendship, into helping him.

Little did they know that the Lin family's legendary treasure was nothing more than empty talk from a branch of the family, a figment of their imagination. That day, after Master accidentally injured the Lin clan leader and his elite soldiers, he suddenly realized it was all a misunderstanding and left, filled with guilt. It was the lurking Jin clan spy who seized the opportunity and led his men to slaughter the entire Lin family, looting their property and setting a fire to destroy the remains. Unexpectedly, some escaped. Unfortunately, the survivor mistakenly believed Master was responsible.

Later, Qing Heng Jun and Madam Lan fell in love and were cordially invited to the Cloud Recesses as a guest, but unexpectedly, they were recognized by a spy from the Jin clan. Fearing Madam Lan's revenge, the spy attempted to pin the blame on Qing Heng Jun's master.

One day, Madam Lan was strolling leisurely in the back mountains when she happened upon Master Qingheng Jun emerging from the Cold Pond Cave. Enmity reigned supreme, and Madam Lan immediately drew her sword. Upon learning of Madam Lan's identity, Master Qingheng Jun's face was etched with shame, and he apologized profusely, ultimately striking his own body against the sword in a final act of apology.

However, all of this was seen by the spy of the Jin clan who was watching secretly. He took the opportunity to lure Qing Hengjun and the elders of the Lan clan to the scene, and Madam Lan was immediately in a state of being unable to defend herself.

Therefore, a series of events followed. Jin's spies and other spies saw this as an opportunity to weaken the Lan family's power. They continued to add fuel to the fire, causing the situation to escalate, and eventually forced Qingheng Jun to imprison Madam Lan in Longdan Cottage, while he remained in seclusion for many years.

Qing Hengjun's eyes were hollow, his expression vacant. He felt his deep affection was a joke, ashamed of both Madam Lan and his master's expectations. He had suffered these past years while his true enemy roamed carefree and unburdened.

Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji never imagined that their desire to clear their mother's name would unearth a long-buried family feud and the complex power struggles behind it. Standing beside their father, Qing Hengjun, they felt a mixture of emotions, momentarily unsure what to do.

Hahahaha!!!! Qing Hengjun smiled bitterly towards the sky, but tears were already flowing in his heart.

"Father." Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji hurried forward to support the staggering Qing Hengjun, their eyes full of worry.

Qing Hengjun took a deep breath and tried hard to steady his body. He slowly lowered his head and his gaze fell on his two sons. There seemed to be thousands of words in his deep eyes, but he couldn't say them for a moment.

Even Lan Qiren hadn't anticipated the unbearable truth. He had unknowingly become an accomplice to the spy, causing the separation of his brother from his sister-in-law and nephew. He stared at the anguished faces of his brother and nephew, his heart in turmoil. He opened his lips slightly, but ultimately couldn't utter a single word of comfort.

The other Lan clan members were speechless. Qing Heng-Jun wasn't just laughing at himself; he was also laughing at the Lan clan's arrogance and lack of self-respect. At this moment, everyone felt uncomfortable.

When Qing Hengjun's laughter died down, the Great Elder slowly walked to his side, patted his shoulder, and said earnestly, "Master, now is not the time to wallow in sorrow. We still have many important matters to attend to."

A glimmer of spirit finally appeared in Qingheng Jun's eyes. Yes, he still had unfinished business. Although the spies were dead, the mastermind behind them was still at large. Moreover, many corrupt officials still lurked within the Lan family. He vowed to eliminate these black sheep one by one, without any leniency!

His eyes, sharp as cold stars, scanned the surroundings. Those caught in his gaze were intimidated by his coldness and involuntarily lowered their heads, trying to avoid his terrifying gaze. Qing Hengjun gritted his teeth, his voice low and firm: "Investigate! Kill without mercy!" As he spoke, a powerful murderous aura suddenly permeated the air, filling everyone present with an unprecedented sense of pressure.

Qing Hengjun stood unmoved before the Lan Clan's ancestral hall. Every word he spoke was like a hammer, hammering down upon the hearts of the Lan Clan members. The flickering candlelight within the hall illuminated his resolute and unyielding face, his eyes seemingly able to see through all the hypocrisy and evil in the world.

"From today on, everyone in the Lan family must be on high alert. Once anyone suspicious is found, they must be apprehended immediately without mercy!" Qing Hengjun's voice echoed in the empty ancestral hall with unquestionable majesty.

"I respect the Sect Master's order."

Qing Hengjun ordered: "Everyone go down!"

Upon hearing this, the Lan clan elders and disciples all took orders and left. Their steps were hurried, but they all carried an unprecedented firmness and determination. Silence once again returned to the ancestral hall, with only the sound of flickering candlelight and the heavy breathing of Qing Hengjun.

"Xichen, Wangji, do you blame your father?" Qingheng Jun suddenly turned, his gaze casting a gentle yet complex light on Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji. His words were filled with deep remorse and helplessness, as if he had a thousand words to say but didn't know where to begin.

Lan Xichen was slightly startled, then stepped forward and replied respectfully, "Father, Xichen has never complained."

Although Lan Wangji didn't say anything, his indifferent eyes revealed a look of no resentment.

Qingheng Jun looked at his two sons, feeling extremely guilty and indebted.

Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji stood quietly before Qingheng Jun, their eyes revealing a deep respect and understanding for their father. Qingheng Jun's gaze shifted between the two, and finally, with a sigh, he broke the silence. "Xichen, Wangji, you two should go back and rest first."

Upon hearing this, Lan Xichen and Lan Wangji both bowed slightly, performed a salute, and slowly exited the ancestral hall. Outside, sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, casting dappled shadows. The two walked side by side, each lost in their own thoughts.
