Who let him join the Sword Sect?!-Chapter 784 - 401: Some people are still alive, but actually already dead

Immortal cultivation isn't just about fighting; it's about understanding human relationships.

Gathering allies is also a part of one's strength.

"With the east wind comes carefree joy."

As the jade talisman in Qi Lin's hand emitted a soft chime, a sword came from the distant north.

The flying sword, forged from the Extreme North Ice Core, was clear and gleaming, its surface haloing with light, like a polar star descending, carrying the force to freeze all lands, heading directly towards the Sun and Moon Clear Pool.

'This is solid.'

Seeing the flying sword thrown by Pavilion Master Mumu, Qi Lin thought to himself.

However, before Sect Leader Qi Da could feel happiness for a moment, he noticed something amiss.

The problem was, the sword seemed to be heading straight for him…

'Huh? Was the intended recipient of the east wind delivery me?'

Before he had time to think, the Protective Sword Array around Qi Lin was pierced through like paper, the Ice Sword burst open like the blooming of the Nine Domains Night-blooming Cereus.

In an instant, Sect Leader Qi Da was thoroughly frozen in the heart of the ice flower.

An exquisite pose indeed.

He was bent over with his hips raised, right hand high in the air, looking back eastward, like a wanderer leaving home, or a mouse stealing oil.

His expression was even more twisted, with eyes that seemed betrayed by the world.

Apart from Qi Lin, the continuously splashing water Fuji also got frozen.

However, her expression wasn't as pitiable as Mr. Qi's; she even had the leisure to strike a cute pose.

Though both were frozen, they were perfectly fine, all well and alive.

Not even a scratch.

"What... what does this mean?" Lily climbed out from a safe spot, utterly perplexed.

Not only did the victim Mr. Qi not understand, but Lily also couldn't grasp what just happened.

At this moment, the Sun and Moon Pool was in ruins, mountains collapsing, the water from the Moon Pool evaporated, and the magma from the Sun Pool completely frozen.

Within the Moon Pool tilted a large ice sculpture, while in the Sun Pool, a giant wolf was leading the Big Heads, who had performed an Integration technique, to beat the disaster demon.

Hmm, it seemed close to shattering.

"Don't mind, just a little accident." Pavilion Master Chen Mumu of Jing State Sword Pavilion's cold voice rang behind Lily, startling her.

"Oh my, when did you arrive?" Lily rolled down from the giant stone, climbed up from the ground and asked.

Chen Mumu, "Just arrived."

After speaking, she gently pointed, healing the scratches Lily got while rolling down.

"Accident? What accident?" Lily was somewhat curious.

Mumu, "Don't rush, let me think of a story."

Lily, "?"

Ignoring Lily's complex gaze, Pavilion Master Mumu, who almost let the east wind slip out of her hands on her first try, was cold-faced as she thought of an excuse.

To be honest, it wasn't entirely Mumu's fault.

The victim Mr. Qi also had to shoulder half the responsibility.

Ultimately, it was because Qi Lin didn't read the instructions before calling for the east wind.

The jade talisman was a Magical Artifact used for positioning; the correct usage was to stick it on the enemy or throw it to the target location.

Not to hold it high like a clumsy fool.

Fortunately, Mumu was observant and, being nervous on her first attempt at hurling the east wind, looked again before the flying sword hit its target.

It was this glance that avoided the blunder.

Just as Qi Lin was about to be chilled to the bone, Mumu stopped her thrown flying sword and altered the move.

She transformed the killer move named "Snowflakes Fluttering, Heart Soars" into a newly developed defensive spell tentatively named "Little Ice Flower, Laugh Haha."

A refrigerator-type spell, as long as the ice hadn't melted, anyone frozen inside was practically invincible.

And carving it into an ice flower shape was purely for aesthetics…

...

Mumu, worthy of being Sword Sect Pavilion Master, quickly came up with a story.

"I am kind-hearted and cautious in conduct, the east wind lands incorrectly, hurting plants and animals, and even harming harmony.

"So why not directly cast a spell to protect the target, achieving the same effect and being even safer."

Mumu said expressionlessly.

Lily glanced at her, wisely choosing not to question and instead believed the Pavilion Master's words.

"Then can we release them?" Lily asked.

Fuji was still frozen inside, and according to her intelligence, the unlucky Sect Leader Qi Da was exactly the target they were looking for.

Congratulations were in order.

Lily cautiously touched the giant ice flower, yet didn't feel any coldness.

How magical.

"Not possible for now." Mumu shook her head, "This move is newly invented, and I'm not yet skilled at it; forcefully unfreezing could harm their fundamental essence. To be absolutely safe, it will take at least three days."

Lily, "..."

What about being reliable and cautious?

While Mumu was making excuses, the one-sided beating ended, and the disaster spirit that had been attracted dissipated into ashes, fading into nothingness.

During this time, the Big Heads and wolf souls tried to intervene or capture it but were unsuccessful.

Like a shadow briefly gaining form, the thing came to this world temporarily, and a return was inevitable.

"What on earth happened, how did a disaster spirit appear here."

After the spirit vanished, Mumu finally asked.

She had wanted to ask since earlier but hadn't found the chance.

"Here's the situation..." Lily briefly explained.

"Stone? Disaster spirit?" Mumu thought for a moment, "Where is that stone, can I see it?"

Lily shook her head, pointing to the ice flower, "The stone is in Sect Leader Qi's pocket, we'll have to wait until the ice melts to retrieve it."

"I see, then we'll have to take him back to the Sword Pavilion first." Mumu raised her hand to lift the ice flower, "No need for you to trouble yourselves with the disaster spirit, leave it to me. I will notify the Celestial Sect on this matter."
