"Fellow Guan?" Shen Mo stepped forward, concern etched on his face.
On one hand, he was worried about Guan Ling's injuries; on the other, he was eager to discover the roots of that towering ancient tree!
In the blink of an eye, the wound on Guan Ling's finger healed and recovered. She, being the Artifact Spirit of the Immortal Treasure, her true form was actually the celestial artifact Death Jaw, and the woman's figure shown before Shen Mo and Zhao Lingyin was merely a manifestation condensed with mana; the injuries she received, however, were indeed real. Her true body was struck by "leaves," which reflected onto her manifested form.
"It's nothing."
Guan Ling waved her hand, indicating no serious harm. After a long silence, she spoke: "The source of Fellow Zhao's deadly tribulation is precisely that towering ancient tree you've both seen!"
Shen Mo and Zhao Lingyin exchanged a glance and then nodded together: "Please enlighten us, fellow Daoist."
