“Darryl!” The old man chuckled and said, “Don’t panic, I won’t do anything to you. I only capture you because I have no choice. For the sake of fulfilling my daughter’s wish, I will first apologize to you.”
‘Daughter?’
Darryl was baffled. He did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Who is your daughter? Do I know her?”
‘This old man pretended to be me and sell fake elixirs just to capture me. Then, he said that his daughter wants to see me? Who is she?’ Darryl pondered for a long time but could not come up with anything concrete.
The old man smiled and said nothing. He only instructed the four men to continue with the pace.
At that moment, Darryl did not know that the old man was Eric Scope, the Ice Fire Island’s Sect Master!
Ice Fire Island was located about 150 kilometers away from the New World on the southern sea. It was not a huge island, but it had some strange scenery. The island had tall mountains covered in snow all year long, and yet, lava flowed at the foot of the mountains. That was how it got its name.
A thousand years ago, a strange man from the New World accidentally stumbled and arrived at Ice Fire Island. The natural wonders of the island instantly attracted him, so he built a sect there. Since then, he had avoided the world at large and rarely ventured into the world of cultivators.
Eric Scope was the sect’s 17th sect master.
The Ice Fire Island had very few members as they avoided the world and rarely mixed with anyone else. Plus, they were located far away from the mainland. The entire sect had less than ten members in total.
The four men who carried Darryl were Eric’s four final disciples.
They were quadruplets, and they had been abandoned. Eric took them in when he stumbled upon them some 30 years ago. Those four men were all brawn and no brains. They were a little naive and dull.
Eric took them back to Ice Fire Island as his disciples. He named them First Scope, Second Scope, Third Scope, and Fourth Scope.
First Scope realized that Darryl was anxious, so he went to him and said, “Don’t be nervous. We’re only taking you to see our Little Junior Sister. You’re her idol!”
When he said that, First Scope looked very mysterious, yet his voice was loud.
Then, the other three chimed in too.
