Chapter 428: The Answer of the Poison Valley
“So what brings you here, Herald?” Valley Master Jiao smiled as she looked at the werewolf demon.
Herald Lycan put on a serious look as he began his speech. “Jiao Old, everyone knows that your Poison Valley has long been in conflict with the Narda Kingdom. However, the battle between the two superpowers was deadlocked. I have a proposal that will help you win against them.”
The smiling expression of Valley Master Jiao turned resolute after hearing his words. “You make me curious, Herald. Alright. Tell me about your application.”
The Herald grinned as he said. “My Lycan family is willing to help you against the Narda Kingdom. Not only that, our old allies of the Lycan Family, the Torgrim Family have also expressed their desire to help the Poison Valley. We will also help you stabilize Narda Kingdom after you conquer it.”
The eyes of Valley Master Jiao gleamed in astonishment. This was a tempting proposal, but he knew there was more to it than that. “This is tempting, Herald, but I know there's a trap. Just tell me.”
The Herald's expression turned grim as he replied in the right tone. “You are busy dealing with the affairs of the Poison Valley and the Narda Kingdom, so you may not know about it. The absolute ruler of the Great Demon Kingdom, Demon Emperor Balmond had decided to grant the throne to his daughter, Princess Cornelia. However, the Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family were against his leadership! We believe that the Bloodfallen Family has become an incompetent leader! So, we decided to rebel against the Bloodfallen Imperial Family and nominate a new ruler! To do this, the strength of our two families alone would not be enough. We need allies!”
Valley Master Jiao sneered in her heart as she looked at the straight gaze of the werewolf demon. However, he nodded his head as if he understood their suffering. “I understand, but why should we help you? We can handle Narda Kingdom by ourselves.”
The Valley Master was confident that they would eventually emerge as the final victors against the Narda Kingdom. Although it might take some time, at least they didn't have to join someone else's war.
Hearing this, the Herald smiled as he muttered. “What if I tell you that the Narda Kingdom has allied itself with the Bloodfallen Family? Do you think your Poison Valley can handle them alone?”
Valley Master Jiao Lei frowned. ‘So that's why the Narda Kingdom has been quite quiet in recent weeks. They were actually allied with the Bloodfallen Family in secret, but did the Herald tell the truth?’
“Herald, do you have any proof of this?” The Valley Master looked at the werewolf demon with a grim expression. If that was true, then defeating the Narda Kingdom would be difficult!
“Actually, we have sent a delegation to Narda Kingdom and signed an agreement to become their ally. We even sent them valuable resources to strengthen our alliance. We think everything will go well. However, the Narda Kingdom suddenly returned the items that we ‘ had given them and they also revoked our agreement. This happened when they sent a delegation to the Bloodfallen Family. Is this enough proof, my friend?” The Herald smiled at the goat demon.
Valley Master Jiao sighed with an expression of defeat. “Good! My Poison Valley will join your war against the Bloodfallen Family, but you must ensure that the Lycan Family and Torgrim Family will do as they promised!”
“Of course! I will not dare to deny my words, Old Jiao. I will send my subordinates here to complete our alliance. Hope you can bring your troops to this location. The Lycan Family and the Torgrim Family have soldiers stationed there..” The Herald took out a map and pointed to an area near Morlon City. It was a mountainous area without any prominent families watching over the place. It was the perfect place to hide their troops!
Herald Lycan's eyes sparkled as he stood up. “Good! Nice working with you, Old Jiao! I won't stay long because I still have business.”
The werewolf demon immediately left after shaking hands with the goat demon.
After the Herald left, Valley Master Jiao chuckled to herself as she muttered. “Looks like I'm about to take Narda Kingdom. Hahaha!”

Meanwhile, Stormhoof Torgrim was now standing in front of the old and weak demon who was holding a thick old book.
“Good day, Elder Skull! We've met for a long time, but I was a junior then, so you probably didn't know me. My name is Stormhoof Torgrim, the current leader of the Torgrim Family of the Great Demon Empire.” Stormhoof did not dare to act pretentiously in front of this old demon. This old man was already famous in the Red Demon Continent thousands of years ago. He rose to power without anyone's help and he soon became an expert that only everyone could see. This old demon was the Necromancer Emperor!
Stormhoof was also stunned when he realized that he could not see through the cultivation level of this old man. That meant that he was also a late stage Void God Realm expert or even higher!
‘So this never-dead old demon has reached this level! Hopefully, the wyvern corpse can move it..’.
After learning 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's wyvern corpse he possessed.
“So, you are the son of Markanen Torgrim. You do look like him.” The old devil's meek and gentle voice resounded.
Stormhoof nodded with a smile. “Indeed. Is Elder Skull my father's friend?”
The old demon looked at Stormhoof deeply and suddenly burst into laughter as he muttered. “No. We are enemies.”
“What?!” Stormhoof stood glued to the ground.. He suddenly had the urge to leave this place.
