"The Young Master is truly joking. Yulo's spiritual power is weak and does not compare to the Young Master's abilities. However, she can move freely within the Xuan Yin Sect. On that day when she first arrived at the Xuan Yin Sect, she was affected by the barrier and her spiritual power diminished, resulting in her being severely injured until she fully recovered today." Speaking of the encounter with the fox demon Yulo, there was a hint of resentment in her soft and charming voice."
Su Han leaned against a large rock with a smile on his lips. "Since ancient times, the Xuan Yin Sect and the demon race have always been at odds. You know that this place is dangerous, yet you still came? Did my eldest brother send you?"
Su Huan knew that although Yu Luo was a demon, she obeyed the orders of Su Yan. She was completely subservient, so Yu Luo must have come here under his command.
"As expected, the Demon Soldiers who accompanied the Young Lord to the Valley of Eternal Spirits returned to the Demon Palace to report. When Lord Su Yan learned that the Young Lord was left alone in the mortal realm and encountered disciples from the Mysterious Melody Sect, he grew worried and sent his subordinates to search for him. However, when they arrived at the Valley of Eternal Spirits, they found it had already been cleaned out and there was no sign of the Young Lord. His subordinates speculated that he might have been captured by the people of the Mysterious Melody Sect, which is why they came to inquire. Unexpectedly, they were the ones who were captured first," Yu Luo said, kneeling beside the pool. "Lord Su Yan is genuinely concerned about the Young Lord, and kindly requests that you return to the Demon Palace with Yu Luo."
"Worried?" Suhan chuckled softly. "Well, thank him for his concern. Please go back and tell him that I'm doing well in Xuanyin Sect. When I've had enough fun, I will naturally return. He doesn't need to worry. These days, he has already been troubled enough by the affairs of the Demon Clan."
As the young master of the demonic clan, Su Huan had always had reliable subordinates by his side. Not seeing any of them come to look for him after many days of absence, it was strange that the person who came was Yu Luo, who was by Su Yan's side. This was already suspicious enough, but in addition, his spiritual roots had been sealed, leaving him in a state of complete powerlessness for eleven hours a day. This matter was also related to Su Yan, and Su Huan was unclear about the current situation of the demonic clan. If Su Yan was already prepared, going back with Yu Luo would only be walking into a trap.
Before Yulo appeared, he had considered escaping from the Xuan Yin Sect and returning to the demon clan to find a way to lift the seal. But now, it seems much safer to stay within the Xuan Yin Sect.
Yulo was not willing to give up and was determined to take him back. "But, young master, Master Su Yan has ordered that you must be brought..."
Su Huan interrupted her, "This is Su Yan's command, and you must execute it, but I may not necessarily obey. I am the young master of the Demon Clan, and he has no authority to command me."
"Lord Suyan, he..."
"Enough, you don't need to say anymore. If you don't want to die, leave early, or else..." Su Han suddenly stopped speaking, sensing something unusual outside. "Hurry, someone is coming."
Suhan wasn't trying to scare her, she had really heard footsteps approaching the Biling Pond. The person should be arriving soon.
Upon hearing his words, Yulo quieted down and carefully listened. Sure enough, there was indeed some movement outside.
"Master, this subordinate will come again." After speaking, the purple-red figure flew over the towering outer wall and immediately disappeared into the night.
Just as Yulo left, a blue figure appeared by the side of the Bi Lin Pool.
Recently, Yun Lin has been harassed by a young demon boy every night, causing him to develop a habit of waking up in the middle of the night. Tonight, he woke up as usual, but the demon boy did not appear. Instead, he found that Yun Yang on the opposite bed was gone, and he had even hidden his pillow under the blanket to make it look like someone was sleeping in the bed. It was clearly intentional, so Yun Lin decided to go out and investigate. As he passed by the Bīlín Lake, he could hear not only the sound of water but also faint voices of people talking. Therefore, he came over to take a look.
However, they did not find the person they were looking to converse with.
Yun Lin saw Yun Yang's clothes by the shore and quickly picked them up. He thought his junior apprentice brother was playing in the pond, but after looking into the water, he found no trace of a person, only mist swirling on the surface of the pond.
Yun Lin felt that something was amiss. Could it be that the junior martial brother, who lacks magical power, has drowned?
So the bird flew onto the large rock in the pond, carefully searching the water's surface with its gaze.
At this moment, he noticed that small bubbles were constantly rising on the surface of the water near the large stone beneath his feet.
A figure quickly emerged from beneath the water.
The person who came out was not Yun Yang, but a young demon who had been entangled with him almost every night recently.
The young man used his hands to push back the long hair that had been dampened by the hot spring water, leaving a few strands lingering in front of his forehead. Droplets of water fell from his hair onto his chest, sliding down his delicate skin before finally dripping into the pool that had just covered his slim waistline.
The fair skin, soaked in hot water, had a subtle pink hue, appearing quite alluring amidst the swirling mist.
The young man looked up at Yun Lin, his alluring phoenix-like eyes flashing. "What's the matter? Are you missing me? Did you come to find me because I didn't appear tonight?"
