Any help will be appreciated.

Never mind. Sort it by simply deleting /etc/salt/master.d/sharedsecret.conf

Glad you were able to sort it out :)

For Salt/DeepSea-related issues, it's probably better to discuss them on
the project's dedicated mailing list - there you have a higher chance of
getting help from the developers actually working on the code:
