Chapter 428: Poison Valley’s Answer

"So what brings you here, Herald?" Valley Master Jiao smiled as he looked at the werewolf demon.

Herald Lycan put on a serious look as he began his pitch. "Old Jiao, everyone knows that your Poison Valley has been in conflict with Narda Principality for very long. However, the battle between the two superpowers has been at a stalemate. I have a proposal which would help you win against them."

Valley Master Jiao's smiling expression turned stern upon hearing his words. "You've made me curious, Herald. Alright. Tell me about your proposal."

Herald grinned as he said. "My Lycan Family is willing to help you fight against Narda Principality. Not just that... Our Lycan Family's long-time ally, the Torgrim Family has also expressed their desire to help the Poison Valley. We will also help you stabilize Narda Principality after you've conquered it."

Valley Master Jiao's eyes flashed with astonishment. This was a tempting proposal, but he knew that there was more to it. "This is indeed tempting, Herald, but I know that there is a catch. Just say it to me."

Herald's expression became grave as he replied with a righteous tone. "You've been busy dealing with the affairs of the Poison Valley and Narda Principality, so you might not know it. The absolute ruler of the Great Demon Empire, Demon Emperor Balmond has decided to pass the throne to his daughter, Princess Cornelia. However, my Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family are against her leadership! We believe that the Bloodfallen Family has become an incompetent leader! Thus, we decided to rebel against the Bloodfallen Imperial Family and nominate a new ruler! To do this, the strength of our two families alone wouldn't be enough. We need allies!"

Valley Master Jiao sneered in his heart when he saw the righteous look of the werewolf demon. However, he nodded his head as if he understood their plight. "I understand, but why should we help you? We can handle Narda Principality by ourselves."

The Valley Master was confident that they would eventually emerge as the final winner against Narda Principality. Though it might take time, at least they wouldn't have to join the war of others.

Hearing this, Herald put on a smile as he muttered. "What if I tell you that Narda Principality has allied with the Bloodfallen Family? Do you think your Poison Valley can handle them alone?"

Valley Master Jiao Lei frowned. 'So that's why Narda Principality has been pretty quiet in the last few weeks. They actually allied with the Bloodfallen Family in secret, but is Herald saying the truth?'

"Herald, do you have proof about this?" The Valley Master stared at the werewolf demon with a grave expression. If it was true, then defeating Narda Principality would be difficult!

"In truth, we've sent delegates to Narda Principality and signed an agreement to become their ally. We even sent them valuable resources to cement our alliance. We thought that everything would proceed smoothly. However, Narda Principality suddenly returned the items we've given them and they also revoked our agreement. This happened when they sent a delegate to the Bloodfallen Family. Is this proof enough, my friend?" Herald smiled at the goat demon.

Valley Master Jiao sighed with a look of defeat. "Fine! My Poison Valley will join your war against the Bloodfallen Family, but you have to make sure that the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family will do as they promised!"

"Of course! I wouldn't dare renege against my words, Old Jiao. I will send my subordinates here to finalize our alliance. I hope you can bring your army to this location. The Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family have soldiers stationed there." Herald took out a map and pointed at an area near Morlon City. It was a mountainous region with no prominent family overseeing the place. It was the perfect place to hide their armies!

Looking at the location pointed in the map, Valley Master Jiao nodded his head. "Rest assured, Herald. I will bring an army of poison masters there soon."

Herald Lycan's eyes lit up as he stood up. "Great! It's a pleasure working with you, Old Jiao! I won't stay for long since I still have matters to do."

The werewolf demon soon left after shaking hands with the goat demon.

After Herald left, Valley Master Jiao chuckled to himself as he muttered. "It looks like I will be taking Narda Principality soon. Hahaha!"

Meanwhile, Stormhoof Torgrim was now standing in front of an old and frail demon who was holding a thick old book.

"Good day, Elder Skull! We have met a long time ago, but I was still a junior at that time, so you might not know me. My name is Stormhoof Torgrim, the current leader of the Great Demon Empire's Torgrim Family." Stormhoof dared not act pretentiously in front of this old demon. This old guy was already famous in the Crimson Fiend Continent thousands of years ago. He rose to power without the help of anyone and he soon became an expert that everyone could only look up to. This old demon was the Necromancer Emperor!

Stormhoof was also stunned when he realized that he couldn't see through this old man's cultivation level. That means he was also a late stage Void God Realm expert or even higher!

'So this undying old demon has already reached this level! Hopefully, the wyvern corpse could move him...'

After discovering that the Necromancer Emperor was much stronger than he had anticipated, Stormhoof could only pray that the old demon would be interested in the Void God Realm wyvern corpse that he had in his possession.

"So you're the son of Markanen Torgrim. You do resemble him." The old demon's frail and soft voice echoed.

Stormhoof nodded his head with a smile. "Indeed. Is Elder Skull a friend of my father?"

The old demon stared deeply at Stormhoof and suddenly chuckled eerily as he muttered. "No. We are enemies."

"What?!" Stormhoof stood rooted on the ground.. He suddenly had an urge to leave this place.
