CHAPTER 542: CHAPTER 556 VALLEY MASTER

"Let’s see if there’s anyone I know?" The Beiming Elder took a step forward, scrutinizing the Valley Master before him.

He did not recognize the identity of the Valley Master, but the Valley Master recognized him.

"Damn, wasn’t the Old Demon King sealed away? How did he get out?" The Valley Master felt sweat slowly sliding down his face.

Back then, when he was just a little demon, he had no status like he did today, and had witnessed the Old Demon King’s overwhelming demonic might with his own eyes.

"You recognize me?" The Beiming Elder could tell from the Valley Master’s expression that he might have been recognized, and promptly asked.

"I have seen the senior once." The Valley Master wiped the sweat off his forehead. Seeing the Beiming Elder was like a nightmare he could never forget in his lifetime.

It was freaking scary. Back then, many Supreme Demons became the Beiming Elder’s prey; not even their bones were spared, ending up in that White Bone Stick.

"Teacher? Found an acquaintance?" Mu Can smiled upon seeing this. Anyone who could recognize the Beiming Elder would be of a venerable age, from the looks of it, the Valley Master seemed to be from the same era as Beiming Elder.

"I don’t know; he probably recognizes me." Beiming Elder shook his head slightly; he really couldn’t remember where he had met the Valley Master of Beasts Valley.

"Valley Master, do you know this person?" The lackeys following the Valley Master were at a loss for words. Seeing their Valley Master not only acquainted with the person before them but also seeming to be afraid was a shock. The Valley Master was actually afraid; what could possibly scare him?

It’s known that Beasts Valley is a mighty force within the Supreme Interface, a power formed by those Demon Beasts gathering together.

"Come here to chat." Beiming Elder casually waved his hand. It was rare to meet someone who knew him, so it was essential to inquire what had happened in the unclaimed territories during the time he was sealed away and how this Underworld force had emerged.

Mu Can and Wang Cai also witnessed the Beiming Elder’s formidable presence of the old days.

With just a casual wave of his hand, the Valley Master of Beasts Valley obediently walked over; it seemed he must answer any questions the Beiming Elder asked.

"Valley Master, what’s wrong with you, Valley Master?" The Toad couldn’t believe what he was seeing, his eyes widening. What on earth was going on, and why would the Valley Master be so obedient to the Beiming Elder?

This was completely different from what he expected to happen. What exactly was going on? It was utterly unreasonable.

"Shut your mouth." The Valley Master glared fiercely at the Toad and scolded.

"Elder, may I ask your purpose for visiting Beasts Valley?" The Valley Master walked up to Beiming Elder respectfully.

The situation shocked everyone in Beasts Valley. When had they ever seen such a scene? Who exactly were these people, to be so formidable?

"Nothing much, just have a few questions to ask. If the answers are satisfactory, then all is well. If not, then we might as well have a feast here." The Beiming Elder yawned languidly. If it weren’t for the fact that the Demon Clan was no longer his greatest enemy by the time he was sealed, Beasts Valley would likely already be a scene of carnage.

"The elder has questions, and I shall spare no effort in answering them." The Valley Master’s heart was filled with mixed feelings—encountering such a tricky individual was indeed most unfortunate.

"Hehe, that would be best." Seeing the Valley Master of Longevity Valley being so perceptive caused Beiming Elder to show a hint of a smile.

"Toad? Is this your Valley Master? He looks like a pushover; you might even be better than him." Evaluating the Valley Master, Wang Cai nudged the Toad’s foot gently. Is this the Valley Master? He doesn’t even seem to have the courage to fight back.

The Toad had no idea that the Valley Master had practically grown up on the horrifying legends of the Beiming Elder, in whose hands countless Supreme Demons had perished in that era.

Even if you gave him more courage, he would not dare to disrespect the Beiming Elder.

"Croak, croak, croak." After seeing the Valley Master’s behavior, the Toad found himself at a loss for words.

"Let me ask you, what do you know about my being sealed away back then?" Beiming Elder asked his question, though he didn’t hold much hope for the Valley Master’s response, considering the high price of those who schemed against him back in the day. Beiming Elder even suspected there were races influenced by gods involved.

"My answer to the elder is, back in the day, I was only a little demon in the demon clan and didn’t know exactly what happened. I just heard about the elder being sealed away."

Sure enough, the Valley Master didn’t know what had actually happened back then.

"Alas, so much has changed, a little demon from those days has now become a Commander of a territory." Beiming Elder lamented, suddenly feeling a sense of melancholy.

"Then let me ask you another question: what has happened over the years of my sealing? What is the situation like in the unclaimed territories now?" Beiming Elder continued asking.

The Valley Master might not know the inside story of his own sealing but should definitely know what had happened over these years.

However, upon hearing Beiming Elder’s question, the Valley Master showed a bit of difficulty in his expression.

"To report to the elder, this junior truly doesn’t know why so many mysterious forces have suddenly appeared in the unclaimed territories." The Valley Master answered uneasily.

He wasn’t lying; he really didn’t know what had happened to the unclaimed territories, and these forces seemed to have sprung up overnight from underground, with no one knowing which races these mysterious forces belonged to.

"Oh? You actually don’t know?" Beiming Elder was surprised. Beasts Valley was quite influential in the unclaimed territories based on the latest intelligence he had received, but now they didn’t even know about the other forces in the unclaimed territories.

"Senior, you must understand; this junior truly does not know. However, the establishment of Beasts Valley was also due to the coercion of those people. Although Beasts Valley may look glorious, in reality, we are under someone else’s control." The Valley Master spoke, his voice laden with helplessness.

The demon clan of the unclaimed territories was no longer the demon clan of the past.

"There’s such a thing?" Beiming Elder’s eyes widened, and with his strength, he could tell that the Valley Master wasn’t lying.

If what the Valley Master said was true, then the water in these unclaimed territories was incredibly deep indeed.

"Tell me more about it." Beiming Elder asked further.

"After the elder was sealed away, everything in the unclaimed territories changed. A group of strange races arrived here, brought all the demon clans together and established Beasts Valley."
