Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 712 - 374: Not Afraid of Old Ascender’s Strength, but Fear Old Ascender’s Education

To capture Hand, after locating him using the Finger Bone Relic, everyone immediately devised a capture plan.

For this plan, apart from idly giving it a name and coming up with a clever idea, Zhang Ze did not participate.

It was entirely managed by the Old Ascenders.

The Old Ascenders also learned from the previous near-failure when trying to capture the eyeball, and this time they were well-prepared.

...

At the perimeter of the Extreme North Icefield, Qiao Lezhi climbed out from an ice crevice with a large bundle on her back. After stretching her limbs wide, she plopped the big cloth bag onto the ground.

"Whew, finally out."

This bundle was filled with things Qiao Lezhi picked up from the Ice Vein Corridor, it contained ice amber sealing the mummified remains of small beasts, unknown minerals, mushrooms hard as ice, and some relics left by previous explorers.

These were her treasures, the spoils of her adventure gone astray. Because she had collected so much that even her Storage Magical Artifact couldn't hold any more, she had to pack it all in a big bag slung over her shoulder.

As for why she didn't leave it with Mei'Er and insisted on carrying it herself, Qiao Lezhi said this was the joy of harvest, carrying it herself made her feel happy.

"Where do we go now?" Qiao Lezhi said boredly, kicking the cage gently and turning to Mei'Er.

Although they were on the outskirts of the Extreme North Icefield, they were still under the influence of the aurora, making it difficult to determine direction. Wandering aimlessly might lead them to some unlucky places.

"Let's head back to the Northern Territory Great Wall," Mei'Er said as she rummaged through the Hundred Treasures Bag, searching for her little walnut.

Her Hundred Treasures Bag was also filled with random stuff, and no one knew where she had stuffed the little walnut.

And Qiao Lezhi watched with her hands behind her back, immediately giving up the thought of searching through her own pile of junk.

Qiao Lezhi remained silent, just kicking the cage.

Having left the Ice Vein Corridor, the seal on Hand weakened a bit more. Hand glanced at Qiao Lezhi, holding back the urge to snarl and continued to lie quietly.

No matter how late, the time will come.

While searching for the little walnut, the corner of Mei'Er's eye suddenly caught something moving not far on a snow hill, and a palm-sized lamb doll popped out from behind the hill, glanced at them, then scampered into the distance.

Mei'Er rubbed her eyes and realized it wasn't an illusion, there really was a moving lamb doll in this icy world.

Moreover, this lamb doll seemed familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

'Lamb... lamb doll, right, I remember now!'

Mei'Er suddenly recalled that in the precious lone copy of the Yellow Book left by Senior Sister Kouyang, every few pages featured a cute lamb-headed doll pattern.

The pattern was eerily similar to the lamb doll in front of her eyes.

Without thinking, Mei'Er immediately chased after it.

"Hey! Wait for me!"

Seeing Mei'Er suddenly take action, Qiao Lezhi quickly grabbed the cage with one hand and her bag with the other to chase after her.

...

Miemie, holding a little walnut, was running and simultaneously reporting the situation here.

"Situation has changed, there's more than just snow leopards here. There are also two... female cultivators from the Sword Sect."

"Not sure, not sure if they've been bewitched by the snow leopard. That's right, the snow leopard looks a bit strange; it's currently locked in a cage."

"..."

"Mm, okay, got it."

Although Miemie didn't know why the woman was chasing her, it did not affect the execution of the plan, in fact, it saved her a lot of trouble.

... 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Mei'Er and Qiao Lezhi continued their pursuit, quickly reaching a spot near an ice lake.

The lamb doll, after passing over the ice lake, disappeared from their sight.

Standing on the ice, the two were momentarily at a loss.

Mei'Er looked down at the ice beneath her feet; the ice surface of the lake reflected the aurora in the sky, seemingly like a smiling face.

A smiling face?

Mei'Er was momentarily taken aback, but soon, she discovered that she wasn't mistaken; it really was a smiling face.

Fuji's smiling face.

Why is Fuji here?

"Hehe, morning, Mei'Er..."

After devouring numerous little whites, Fuji underwent a kind of evolution, a positive evolution in some sense, albeit with some strange twists.

She now gathered together, becoming larger than before, and gained some new tricks.

Fuji called these tricks feeding, or you could call them making friends.

"Friends, hehe."

The gigantic Fuji laughed, extending her body, her pale blue translucent form swimming beneath the ice, countless hands reaching through the ice towards the two.

Inopportune fog rose thickly around, with enormous blue tentacles faintly appearing amidst the mist, isolating all around them from the wind and snow.

Before Mei'Er and Qiao Lezhi could react, they were seized by Fuji's countless little hands. As Fuji's laughter grew ever sweeter, their thoughts slowed, becoming viscous.

As if falling into an abyss.

When the two finally regained their senses, they found themselves not devoured by Fuji but teleported to Crown Prince City, where they were surrounded by a vigilant Li and the Six Sect Elders below the Void Refinement Realm.

Seeing familiar elders, Qiao Lezhi giggled and tried to get up to greet them. But before she could speak, a talisman was slapped onto her forehead, and various restraint spells immediately took hold, capturing both her and Mei'Er.

"No way, there's nothing in the sect's rules about sleepwalking and getting lost being a crime, right?"

A clueless Qiao Lezhi argued.

Seeing Qiao Lezhi's demeanor, Li hesitated, "I suspect she's fine..."
