"Tree demon? Could she be the person Master was referring to?" The Third Prince of Qin saw the black vines cut down by the Taoist on the ground and his face lit up with joy.
"Your Highness, you are right, this lady is indeed the Thousand-Year Golden Nanmu I have been painstakingly searching for. Who would have thought she had been hiding in Luo Mansion all this time? No wonder I could never find her. Her cultivation has improved a lot since our last encounter at Lan Ruo Temple, we must act quickly this time and not let her escape again."
By then, the Banished Immortal Sword had already reached Ma Linghan's hands. The Taoist cared about Zhen Qi far more than the sword, so he hesitated no longer and hurriedly chased out of the cave entrance with the Third Prince.
After the Taoist and the prince had left, Ma Linghan landed gently beside Lin Zhongxin, only to find Lin Zhongxin was already dead with no chance of revival.
"I'm sorry."
