Su Huan had long planned for an escape route. When Yun Lin pursued him, he only saw a fleeting blue figure vanish into the darkness of the night, leaving behind no trace.

This time, he didn't give up like the previous two nights when he lost sight of her, but instead chased after Su Huan in the direction she disappeared.

As a skilled translator of Chinese web novels, I have translated the paragraph into English:

"In the end, that young demon clan member managed to escape. Yun Lin even suspected that the young man had focused all of his previous training on the art of fleeing, considering how swiftly he managed to escape."

However, he could be certain that the young man should still be at Xuan Yin Sect.

"What happened to Senior Brother?” Just then, Yunting came over with a few junior disciples from behind Yunlin via a small path.

The Xuan Yin Sect had been infiltrated by demons, so they strengthened their defenses within the sect, assigning disciples to stand guard every night.

With a turn of his body, Yun Ling, Cloud Thunder, came face to face with the enraged expression on his senior disciple's face. His senior disciple's sword was already unsheathed, gleaming with a chilling light in the darkness of the night.

This senior martial brother appears even more terrifying than usual.

Compared to the other disciples, Yun Ting and Senior Brother have a relatively closer relationship. However, Yun Ting is now intimidated by the aura emanating from Senior Brother. His intuition tells him that Senior Brother must have encountered something bad.

The demon clan that intruded into the Xuan Yin Sect has reappeared. I order the disciples of the sect to strengthen their defenses and thoroughly search for them. We must find and capture them." The last few words were squeezed out of Yun Lin's teeth, carrying a hint of viciousness.

"Yes, Senior Brother." Yunting accepted the command from the eldest senior brother and immediately ran towards the main hall with several junior brothers, preparing to ring the bell and summon people.

However, he also found it strange. He had been a member of the Xuan Yin Sect for eleven years. He had met his senior apprentice brother when he was seven or eight years old. This person was not talkative usually and didn't like to interact with his junior apprentices privately. He always wore a serious expression on his face, but that didn't mean he had a bad temper. In the many years they had known each other, he rarely saw him get angry.

But tonight, he was filled with anger because of a demon, even though he did not show such fury when over a hundred people from the Wailing Valley were killed by demons before. Yun Ting was very curious about what this demon had done to Senior Brother tonight that made him so furious.

The disciples of the Xuan Yin Sect searched inside and outside the sect but couldn't find the demon clan that Senior Brother mentioned.

Yun Lin began to suspect whether this young demon clan member had hidden in the restricted area of Xuan Yin Gate, which was the bamboo forest behind the main hall.

So he went to consult his master.

The headmaster of Wu Chen Sect woke up early when the sound of the thunderous cloud shook the golden bell, sitting in the main hall, waiting for the disciples to come and report.

The hall was brightly lit, and the head of the Dustless Sect was dressed in a white robe, meditating in front of the altar.

"Master," Yun Lin strode into the grand hall with the night breeze.

He has put on his outer robe, with a sword hanging from his waist.

The headmaster of Wuchen Sect closed his eyes and asked, "Have you found the demons?"

"No," Yun Ling's voice still carried a lingering trace of anger and helplessness. Every time that young demon clan member escaped, he left no trace behind, making it impossible for Yun Ling to make a move.

He continued, "We have searched inside and outside the Mystic Sound Sect, even the cliffs behind the mountain, but we couldn't find any trace of him. I suspect he might have hidden in the forbidden area. That's why I have come to ask for your guidance, Master. Please allow your disciple to investigate the forbidden area."

"No." The Head of Wu Chen suddenly opened his eyes and immediately rejected the proposal of his eldest disciple without hesitation. "The rules of the sect cannot be broken just because of one demon clan member. If he really enters the forbidden area, he will only have a dead end. You don't need to worry. It's getting late, you should go back to your room and rest. One demon clan member alone cannot cause a major disturbance in our Xuan Yin Sect."

The head disciple of the Wuchen Sect seemed afraid that Yun Lin would act on his own, recklessly intruding. He quickly warned him, saying, "Yun Lin, even though you are my top disciple, if you dare to trespass into the forbidden grounds of the Xuan Yin Sect, the master will show no favoritism and will not pardon you easily."

"Disciple understands, disciple takes leave." Yun Lin reluctantly exited the grand hall. He truly didn't understand what secret the bamboo forest behind the hall was hiding, to make his master so anxious. Even if it had become the hiding place for the demon clan, disciples of the sect were still forbidden to set foot there.
