Luo Ping had never heard of the Ice Stream Sect before. Naturally, he didn't know where it was located in Shui 'an City. However, the fact that the Ice Stream Sect practiced Ice Attribute Cultivation Techniques confirmed his guess.
Luo Ping didn't have the strength to complain about their names. They were either very old-fashioned or very feminine. What was even more shocking was that the two women, who had a huge difference in height and looked similar to each other, were actually twin sisters. He couldn't tell at all.
"These four Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters are indeed strange."
Luo Ping was speechless. Then, he looked at the Third Junior Brother, Fu Cancan.
"My Lord, I discovered the Ice Toad more than 1,200 years ago. I was severely injured by the man in the valley. After I recovered, I wanted to confirm whether he was still around so that I could ask my Senior Brother to avenge me."
"However, when I appeared outside the valley, I heard fierce fighting sounds coming from the valley. So, I tried my best to hide my aura and hid in the distance to observe."
"One side of the battle was the old man in the valley. The other side was the members of the Immortal Treasure Tower. Because the members of the Immortal Treasure Tower all had the same accessories, I recognized them at a glance."
"Because both sides were focused on the fierce battle, they didn't notice me at all. In the end, the old man in the valley used all his strength to kill the members of the Immortal Treasure Tower. However, he was also severely injured."
"Originally, I wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to avenge myself. However, when the old man saw me, he actually used a secret technique and quickly escaped."
"I couldn't accept this situation. So, I began to vent my anger at the location of the stream. I kept attacking the stream. Everything was normal at first. However, when I attacked a location, I suddenly suffered a strong counterattack."
"An extremely cold power was released from the stream, injuring me in an instant. I fell heavily into the distance. Only then did I realize that there was something strange about this stream."
"So, after I recovered from my injuries, I kept attacking from a distance. Perhaps I was lucky. When I attacked the next day, the force actually disappeared."
"Just like that, I carefully entered the stream. When I saw the Ice Toad's body in the water, I seemed to understand everything."
His Third Junior Brother, Fu Cancan, said a lot of things in one breath. He told them the reason and process of him discovering the ice toad.
Luo Ping listened very seriously, especially when he heard about the battle between Yuan Tianxing and the members of the Immortal Treasure Tower. He really wanted to be there and help his master kill the enemy.
When Fu Cancan saw Luo Ping's focused expression, she continued, "I'm sure that the reason why the rivers in Shui 'an City released the power of ice and formed a defensive formation to protect Shui' an City is definitely because of the existence of the ice toad."
"When I saw the Ice Toad, I discovered that the Ice Toad had already fallen into a deep sleep. Even so, I was still very cautious and could only attack from a distance. What I got was the Ice Toad's powerful counterattack."
"Because I didn't know when the Ice Toad would wake up at any time, I immediately left the ocean and returned to the stream valley. Then, I cultivated in the valley and observed the situation of the stream at the same time."
"After studying for hundreds of years, I finally discovered and determined the pattern of the Ice Toad's deep sleep. Every 100 years, it would sleep for three days. So, I planned to return to the sect and invite Eldest Senior Brother and the others to collect the Ice Toad together. After all, I still couldn't deal with the sleeping Ice Toad alone."
"However, at that time, a shocking news spread in the Immortal Realm. The Shangguan Clan had joined forces with the Demon and Demon Realms in an attempt to dominate the Immortal Realm. So, all the forces became nervous."
"Our sect naturally closed the mountain gate and began to cultivate diligently. Then, when the war broke out and ended, we had the opportunity to enter the stream valley to collect the Ice Toad."
"I didn't expect that it would be collected by you in the end. This is simply fate. The Ice Toad is destined to be yours."
This time, Fu Cancan finally summarized the ins and outs of the matter. At the end, he didn't forget to flatter and compliment Luo Ping.
After hearing Fu Cancan's narration, Luo Ping finally understood the cause and effect. With a clear understanding of the situation, he didn't reveal the slightest abnormality on his face.
"Are you wondering why I didn't perform a Soul Search on you directly? That way, I wouldn't have to waste time asking questions, right?"
Luo Ping asked.
Hearing this, the four people trembled and looked at each other. Eldest Senior Brother Qi Peng said, "My lord, you're really insightful. Yes, we're very puzzled. Since you've already controlled us, why didn't you directly kill us or perform a Soul Search on us?"
"Let me make a bold guess. Is there something that you need the four of us to do, my lord? As long as you believe in us, we promise that we'll do our best and do our best. "
Qi Peng straightforwardly admitted their thoughts and then spoke of his guess. His words also expressed their determination to serve Luo Ping.
After all, the four of them were like fish on a chopping board. Their lives were completely in Luo Ping's hands. If they didn't fight for themselves, they would really be fools.
"It seems that you're very smart. Yes, I do have something that I need your help with. However, I don't dare to completely believe in your promise."
"In this world of cultivation, there are too few people who can keep their promises. Especially at a critical moment of life and death, the promise made is full of empty promises."
"Therefore, for the sake of safety, I have to take some measures against you. Of course, if you're unwilling, I won't force you. I'll just kill you immediately. After all, I don't like to force others."
Luo Ping didn't believe Qi Peng's promise. Instead, he decided to take some measures to control the four of them. However, he didn't directly take action. Instead, he let the four of them decide whether they were willing to help him.
Although Luo Ping's tone was very flat, in the ears of the four of them, it was completely like a bolt from the blue, shaking their heads.
"Don't like to force others?"
The four of them scoffed at Luo Ping's words. However, in the current situation, they didn't dare to show it. They could only swallow their bitterness.
The four of them looked at each other again. After a moment of silence, it was Qi Peng who spoke first, "We are naturally willing to help you, Sir. However, we want to know what you want us to do first. If this matter is beyond our scope or against the Heavenly Dao, we are willing to die."
Although Qi Peng expressed their attitude on behalf of the four of them, he didn't forget to maintain his rationality. He wanted to hear what Luo Ping wanted them to do first.
After all, if this matter exceeded their ability or went against the heavens, they might as well die now.
Upon hearing this, Luo Ping smiled slightly and said: "Since you want to know, I will tell you. What I want you to do is to help me secretly investigate the whereabouts of the old man in the valley."
"I don't care what method you use. You must help me find the whereabouts of this person. There is no time limit. However, the longer you delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for your cultivation. I believe you are aware of this."
Luo Ping did not hide anything and directly told the four of them about the mission. Regarding the request that the other party had just made, he was actually very happy. This meant that the other party was not a brainless person and would be very cautious when doing things.
When the four of them heard this, they were stunned for a moment. Then, they seemed to have guessed something and returned to normal one by one.
"We agree to this matter. Sir, how do you want to control us?"
Qi Peng agreed without hesitation. Then, he raised another question.
"You have a lot of questions. Aren't you just worried that I will control your minds? Don't worry, my method of control is only to seal your souls and seal your Celestial Core Power. As long as you don't betray me, you won't be affected in any way."
"In addition, I will also set up a defensive restriction around your souls. As long as someone catches you and wants to search your souls, this restriction can be activated immediately."
"With my current means, the defensive restriction that I set up can only resist experts below the Golden Immortal Realm. If you encounter a Golden Immortal expert who wants to search your souls, this restriction won't be able to defend you at all."
"Under such circumstances, when the defensive restriction is broken by a Golden Immortal expert, your souls will be destroyed along with the defensive restriction."
"I am doing this to protect you. If you don't have any other questions, I will begin."
Luo Ping told the four of them the method of control and also prepared to set up a defensive restriction around their souls to prevent others from searching their souls.
The reason why Luo Ping did this was that he didn't want others to get information about him and Yuan Tianxing from the memories of the four of them. He also didn't want the secret of the Profound Heaven Gate to be discovered.
Qi Peng and the other three obviously knew the reason why Luo Ping did this. However, they did not have any objections, especially the defensive restriction. When a Golden Immortal expert broke through it, their souls would be destroyed along with it. Not only did they not think that Luo Ping was trying to harm them, but they also felt that Luo Ping was protecting them.
After all, once their souls were searched by an expert, they would either die or be crippled. It was better to die directly. Therefore, after receiving Luo Ping's inquiry, the four of them nodded without any objections.
Seeing this, Luo Ping didn't say much. He directly cast the Qi Sealing Soul Locking Technique and began to control the four of them. This technique was very clever. Even in the Immortal Realm, it could still control immortal cultivators.
Luo Ping had long been familiar with the Qi Sealing Soul Locking Technique. In a short while, he had already controlled the four of them at the same time.
Next was the most crucial process, which was to set up a defensive restriction around the souls of the four of them. Although the four of them were now in the space of the Profound Heaven Gate, and his soul power was very strong, he still needed to be careful.
