Chapter 2041

‘What?’

After Darryl asked a few more people, he finally approached an old man who looked like a fairy. Suddenly, he

frowned.

The old man seemed very arrogant.

He was dressed in a black linen long robe. He had a fairy-like, magical look and a slightly raised frontal bone. Even

though he wore ordinary clothes, he had a unique temperament.

Darryl could feel the old man’s unfathomable strength that he could not understand.

He was even more puzzled when he realized that the old man had turned his nose up at him while the other elites

had behaved quite respectfully.

How interesting!

The old man had a very unique personality, indeed.

Darryl wondered about that, and he was about to ask when the old man stepped toward him.

“Were you the one who released me from the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower?” the old man asked coldly as he

observed Darryl. His voice was not loud, but he spoke unwaveringly.

What?

Darryl was stunned.

‘I was about to ask you, but you’ve thrown me a question instead.’

Darryl became more intrigued by the identity of the old man, so he smiled slightly, nodded and said, “Yes, that was

me. My name is Darryl. May I get your good name, please?”

“My good name?”

The old man chuckled and said, “A name is just a name. What’s so good about it? I’ve had many names. Some

people called me Wang Xu; some called me Wang Chan, Xuanweizi, Ghost Valley Sage…”

He sounded indifferent when he talked about himself; he was seemingly unenthusiastic with those titles.

‘What?’

Darryl felt as if there was a clap of thunder in his mind as his body stiffened, and he felt confused.

‘Gho… Ghost Valley Sage?’

‘This old man is the Ghost Valley Sage—the most phenomenal person on earth?’

The Ghost Valley Sage was known as the most phenomenal person of all time; he was well versed in the art of tact

and diplomacy. He was a profoundly wise man and an omniscient. He was a famous strategist, a Daoist, a

philosopher, a strategist, a military strategist, a Yin and Yang theorist, a rhetorician, a logician, a medical scientist

and—

Darryl felt his brain buzzed as he processed his thoughts—he stared at the Ghost Valley Sage blankly. He was utterly

in shock.

‘I thought he was only an old man with a weird temper, and that was why he had behaved so aloofly. I never

thought he’d be the phenomenal Ghost Valley Sage.’

The Ghost Valley Sage was an impressive character. Famous figures in history, such as Su Qin, Sun Bin, Shang Yang,

Lu Buwei, Li Mu, Wang Jian, Le Yi, and Mao Sui, were all his disciples. His wisdom and teachings greatly influenced

them.

Even the creator of Bai Qi Formations—the Slaughter God Bai Qi—was also his disciple.

How did someone like him get locked in the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower?

‘Oh?’

Everyone in the entire hall chatted away as they looked wide-eyed at the Ghost Valley Sage.

He was the Ghost Valley Sage. There were many rumors about the remarkable man within the royal families and

the ordinary folks—he was a well-known character.

Quincy darted her eyes between the Ghost Valley Sage and Darryl—they gleamed with complexity as she

shuddered.

‘Oh… Darryl is the Seven Treasures Exquisite Tower owner, and Ghost Valley Sage had been locked in in the tower. ‘

“Gho… Master Ghost Valley Sage.”

Finally, Darryl recovered his senses and reacted, but he stuttered as he spoke respectfully. “I’ve long heard of your

great name, Master Ghost Valley Sage. It is my pleasure to meet you.”

Then, Darryl bowed respectfully to the Ghost Valley Sage.

Darryl would definitely be upset if he had to bow to any other elites who were haughty and arrogant. However, the

Ghost Valley Sage was above all that. His existence was almost ghost-like due to his outstanding strength.
