Chapter 233: Chaotic Organization Appears
This is the largest chamber of commerce in the Beast Village, so it is normal to see merchants and customers coming and going from time to time.

But when footsteps sounded, Shen Bai noticed that there was something wrong with the shop owner's expression.

The boss was stunned at first, then after seeing who was coming, he showed a hint of surprise, as if he was very surprised by the person who came.

Shen Bai frowned and looked back at the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce.

At the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce, a young man in white appeared, holding a folding fan in his hand and gently shaking it.

This kind of dress is actually very common in the Beast Village. After all, although it is a village, it is actually as big as a county town in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

It's normal for some people to dress a little better.

Whenever humans gather together, there will naturally be rich and poor.

The same is true for Beast Village.

However, Shen Bai felt that the aura of the man in white in front of him was slightly different.

He didn't have a very obvious feeling because the breath was very vague.

But Shen Bai always felt that this man in white seemed a little out of tune with everything around him.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai did not plan to ask about the strange creature for the time being. Instead, he stood next to Guo Qi and pretended to help Guo Qi choose the wooden sign.

The red eyes of Poxu covered the surroundings. Even though Shen Bai had his back to them, he could still see through the entire Chamber of Commerce.

The man in white walked up to the boss and winked at him, but said nothing.

The boss in front of him seemed to have known this for a long time. He nodded slightly and said to Guo Qi next to him.

"Boss Guo, once you've found the wooden sign, just talk to the guys at the Chamber of Commerce and have them do the counting. I have something else to do, so I'll be leaving first."

Guo Qi came here to do business, so being called boss was naturally a normal title.

At this time, Guo Qi was selecting wooden signs with a very focused look.

After hearing the boss's explanation, he didn't think much about it, and didn't even look over there, and nodded.

"No problem, boss, go ahead and do your thing. I'll select the candidates and then talk to the guys."

The boss didn't say anything, but took the man in white and left through the side door and walked towards the backyard of the Chamber of Commerce.

Since it is the largest chamber of commerce in the Beast Village, it naturally occupies a large area and has many attics.

If you are talking about something secret in the backyard, the front yard will naturally know nothing about it.

This situation is not the case for Shen Bai.

Through the Red Eyes, Shen Bai saw the boss and the man in white enter the inner courtyard and started communicating.

There was a stone table in the inner courtyard, on which were a pot of wine and two cups.

There were many waiters busy walking back and forth around, but because the stone table was set up in a relatively remote location, when the boss and the man in white sat down, the waiters around them could not hear anything they said.

The boss picked up the wine jug on the table and filled the glass for the man in white, with a slightly respectful tone in his voice.

"I didn't expect you to come here in person. It really makes my humble home so proud."

The man in white nodded and twirled the wine glass on the table with his fingers, but he did not drink it or answer the boss.

Seeing this, the boss clenched his fists slightly, his heart skipped a beat, and asked, "I don't know how I have offended you. Please tell me, and I will actively correct it."

After hearing what the boss said, the man in white stopped spinning the wine glass, picked up the glass with his hand, and drank the wine in the glass.

"Snapped!"

The wine glass was placed on the table, and there was a crisp sound.

When this voice came out, the boss' heart skipped a beat.

The man in white spoke slowly, his voice was very gentle, making people feel like they were in a spring breeze.

But what he said made the boss tremble all over and his hair stand on end.

"you are too slow."

Just these four simple words. If the boss hadn't taken into consideration the presence of people around him, he would have probably fallen to his knees at this moment.

He forced himself to suppress the fear in his heart and asked, "Sir, I have always worked diligently in the Beast Village and have never made any mistakes. I don't know how I have offended the higher-ups."

The man in white shook his head and said, "You did everything right, and the higher-ups didn't think you made any mistakes. The only shortcoming is that you were too slow."

"How long have you been in Beast Village?"

The boss lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said, "About ten years or so."

"Ten years, not bad."

The man in white nodded and said, "You were able to develop the Chamber of Commerce into the best in the entire Beast Village in ten years. In fact, you should be rewarded, but you are still too slow."

The three words "too slow" appeared three times in a short communication, and each time gave the boss a different feeling.

The boss smiled bitterly and said, "Sir, please give me a little more time. Controlling the entire Beast Village's economy won't happen overnight, unless we want to take it down by force, but that's unnecessary."

"The higher-ups want me to be stationed in the Beast Village, control its economic lifeline, and preserve its original appearance to avoid attracting the attention of other refuges."

Hearing this, the man in white picked up the wine jug beside him, poured himself another glass, and drank it all in one gulp: "Before I came here, the superiors ordered me to come here to sound the alarm for you."

"I also understand your situation. You have been able to develop to your current status with your own hands, and it only took ten years. In fact, you are already very outstanding."

"But this time, a small accident happened."

"Accident, what accident?" The boss looked surprised.

What the man in white said just now was meant to praise him.

He was able to make the Chamber of Commerce the largest in just ten years, so his ability to read people's expressions was naturally very strong.

But despite the praise, he was really confused by the unexpected incident mentioned later.

After all, there haven't been any accidents in the Beast Village for a long time.

"No, there was an accident!"

As soon as the boss thought about it, he had the answer in his mind and said, "Your Excellency, you mean the two people from the Beast Village who were killed today?"

If there was any accident, it was only this one.

As for the rest, the boss really couldn't think of it.

The man in white nodded and said, "When I sneaked in quietly, I happened to see your people there examining the body. I just took a look. Guess what I saw?"

The boss quickly shook his head, indicating that he couldn't guess.

The man in white looked speechless and said, "Both the state of death of the body and the traces around it indicate that the person who came here is Shen Bai."

"Chen Bai?"

When the boss heard the name, a look of doubt appeared on his face.

He had also heard of the name Shen Bai. Even though he was in the Beast Village, he still heard his colleagues outside mention it.

The man in white nodded and said, "Yes, it's Shen Bai. I don't know where he is hiding now, but one thing is certain: he has come to the Beast Village. That's why I said you were too slow."

"You should know Shen Bai's strength and methods. We must speed up, otherwise something might happen."

The boss finally recovered from his shock.

"Sir, if we can't find any trace of Shen Bai, if we start trouble at this time, I'm afraid Shen Bai will target us. The higher-ups have already said that Shen Bai and we are mortal enemies."

The young man shook his head and said, "Those two people outside were killed by Shen Bai. The Beast Village is looking for Shen Bai. Do you think Shen Bai will bring a greater crisis to the Beast Village? If so, think about it carefully. As the largest chamber of commerce in the Beast Village, and you have already allied yourself with the conservatives in the Beast Village, you will not be able to escape unscathed at that time."

"It would be better to be completely transparent with the conservatives, explain exactly what you want to do, and then see if they agree."

The boss fell into deep thought. After a moment, he asked, "Is this what the higher-ups meant?"

The man in white nodded and said, "Yes, that's what the higher-ups meant. That's why they sent me here. After all, if you can't convince them, then we can only use force to completely subdue them."

"Conservatives want to gain sovereignty, but they can't do it without force."

"Only by completely taking over the Beast Village can we use this as an excuse to find clues to more refuges, and even plant our people in each refuge. This is an experiment, and its success depends on you."

Upon hearing this, the boss clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, saying, "Since this is a task from above, I will definitely complete it. Sir, you will come with me tonight to meet with the conservative elders. We will have a frank talk. After all, as conservatives, they just want to survive, and we can also let them survive."

The man in white nodded and stopped drinking.

The conversation had already ended, so he didn't plan to continue.

But at this moment, footsteps were heard outside.

The two of them followed the sound of footsteps and turned their gaze over. Then, they saw an ordinary-looking man leaning against the doorway, looking at them with a teasing look.

"Who are you?" The boss stood up and said, "No, you came here with Boss Guo. Didn't Boss Guo tell you the rules? You're not allowed in the Chamber of Commerce's backyard. Get out now."

He was worried that his plan would be exposed, especially since there were merchants from Hua Village here, so he wanted to drive Shen Bai out quickly.

But before he could finish his words, he heard a voice behind him.

"He's a master."

The man in white put away his folding fan and looked at Shen Bai with interest.

"I've never seen you before, but the feeling you give me makes me feel very disgusted. I don't know why."

Shen Bai touched his face.

He had already changed his appearance when he and Guo Qi entered the Beast Village, so the man in white naturally could not recognize him.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai put down his hand and the muscles on his face twitched.

After a moment, he returned to his normal self.

There were still many people from the Chamber of Commerce walking back and forth in the yard. After Shen Bai dispersed the changes brought about by the Bone Changing Technique, everyone stared at Shen Bai with wide eyes.

Except for the clan leader and many elders who have spatial abilities, most of the people in the Beast Village are based on taming beasts.

This was also the reason why the patriarch brought them into this refuge.

After all, the ability to tam beasts allows them to live well.

But now, Shen Bai showed extraordinary abilities, and they couldn't help but be surprised.

A look of astonishment flashed across the boss's face, and then he heard the voice of the man in white behind him.

"Shen Bai, you also know how to change your appearance. You are really amazing. You are worthy of being the Twelve Supreme Young Masters."

The man in white clapped his hands in praise.

"Chen Bai?"

After hearing these two words, the boss took a few steps back and stared at Shen Bai with a vigilant look on his face, without making any unusual movements: "Sir, be careful. If he dares to show up, he must be able to deal with us."

The man in white nodded, holding a folding fan in his hand, and slowly stood up.

At this time, the guys from the Chamber of Commerce also showed their fangs and surrounded Shen Bai.

"I never thought that I would face you in this situation." The man in white shook his head with an elegant look.

"In my imagination, I should have completely controlled the Beast Village before engaging in the ultimate battle with you, but now it seems that all this is beyond my expectations."

Shen Bai smiled and said, "Everything is beyond my expectations. I just followed you around the shop and discovered the big secret of your chaotic organization."

As early as when he was outside, Shen Bai had already grasped the entire conversation between the two by looking through his red eyes.

At this time, he thought it would be better to be direct and eliminate this so-called chaotic organization from the Beast Village first.

When he came in, he had already used the Wuji Guashu to make calculations. The scene before him was a very auspicious one, so Shen Bai was not afraid.

As for Guo Qi, Shen Bai asked him to wait outside.

Under the shadow of Poxu's red eyes, Guo Qi was still waiting obediently on the street not far away.

At this moment, Shen Bai and the man in white looked at each other. Although neither of them took action, they could feel the powerful aura from each other.

The man in white exclaimed in admiration, "At the Huaxu realm, you're actually able to make me feel this intense pressure. You're truly powerful. No wonder the Ye Dao Sect, Ye Fo Sect, and Xinhuo Academy all fell into your hands, and you've caused the deaths of many people in the organization."

"What realm are you in?"

Shen Bai pulled out Hanyue, and the sound of Hanyue being unsheathed made people's eardrums hurt.

"People in the Heavenly Spirit Realm can't deal with you."

The man in white tapped his palm with his folding fan and said, "We know your ability to overcome adversity, so I can stand before you so calmly, which means I must not be at the Heavenly Spirit Realm. Moreover, in the Beast Village, although I am just an ordinary refuge, it is not something that someone at the Heavenly Spirit Realm can plan. So you should know clearly what realm I am at."

Shen Bai nodded and said, "I see. Those who surpass the Heavenly Spirit Realm are generally called the Absolute Peak Realm. It seems that you are at the Absolute Peak Realm."

The next level of the Tianling Realm is called the Juefeng Realm.

Shen Bai had also encountered this state before. The city lord he killed not long ago was in this state.

With Shen Bai's current strength at the Huaxu realm, crossing to the Tianling realm and then to the Juefeng realm does bring considerable challenges, but there are solutions.

The man in white looked at Shen Bai in surprise: "You seem quite calm. Don't you know that the gap between the Tianling Realm and the Juefeng Realm is like a chasm. For a Juefeng Realm cultivator to kill a Tianling Realm cultivator is as easy as mowing the grass?"

Shen Bai shrugged and said, "The fact that I meet you here and I dare to show up proves that I have no worries. But looking at the situation, it seems that this battle cannot be fought." After Shen Bai finished speaking, the smile on the white-clothed man's face paused slightly.

He sighed and said, "It would be great if you were a member of our organization. Not only would you have strength, but also a good character. No matter which one, you would be considered top-notch in the organization. What a pity..."

As he said this, the man in white was gradually becoming transparent.

The boss next to him was slightly stunned, then reached out to grab the man in white, but his hand passed through him.

"Sir, what's going on?"

There was a hint of fear in the boss's tone.

If the man in white left or disappeared, he would never be able to deal with Shen Bai alone.

Now this situation seems to be true.

The man in white turned around and glanced at the boss, saying, "We can't fight. I'm not the only one at the peak level here. The clan leader and the two elders from the conservative and radical factions are all at the same level. If a fight breaks out here, I will surely die, and so will Shen Bai. So I'm leaving first."

The boss' eyes widened. "But if you leave, the entire Beast Village plan will be ruined. At that time, all the organization's tasks will be in vain."

If the man in white left at this moment, he would have been exposed and would not be able to escape Shen Bai's killing, then all his previous plans would be completely declared a failure.

He didn't believe that the organization would abandon him as a pawn, especially now that Shen Bai was here.

Unexpectedly, the words the young man in white said before he disappeared made him completely collapse.

"People at the Absolute Peak Realm are so important. I'll have time to play with Shen Bai later, but now is not the time."

The man in white glanced at Shen Bai and said, "Remember, my name is Dongfang Qing. I'm very interested in you. I'll meet you next time and have a good fight with you. As for the Beast Village, I'll give it to you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Qing disappeared completely.

In fact, Shen Bai had already felt it when Dongfang Qing disappeared.

He seemed to have used a unique method that even Shen Bai couldn't keep.

And through the Red Eyes that can break through the void, Shen Bai could clearly feel that Dongfang Qing's way of leaving was not to move from one place in the Beast Village to another, but to leave the Beast Village completely.

It is precisely because of this that Shen Bai said that a fight could not break out.

The boss sat on the ground with a look of despair on his face.

The people in the shop who surrounded Shen Bai had the same expression as the boss.

They thought that Dongfang Qing's arrival would allow them to eliminate Shen Bai and take over the Beast Village, but they didn't expect the organization to completely abandon them.

"Actually, it's normal to give up on you."

Shen Bai spoke slowly.

After hearing this, the boss and many store members turned their attention to Shen Bai.

Shen Bai continued, "For the rebellious organization, the Beast Village is just a small experiment. They want to see if they can break into the shelter, which is like an iron barrel."

"It seems they can break in now, and the Beast Village is the most common one among the refuges. Naturally, they won't sacrifice someone at the peak level for this."

The boss's eyes showed a trace of pain: "But if we fail, we will be exposed, and it will be extremely difficult for them to break in."

Shen Bai shook his head and said, "You underestimate your own organization. The fact that they were able to drive all the refuges like stray dogs during the Wancheng era is enough to prove their strength."

"To them, the people in the refuge are just a bunch of losers who escaped. They have plenty of options, and you are just abandoned pawns."

In fact, when Shen Bai said the first sentence, the boss already had this idea, but he was unwilling to believe it.

But after Shen Bai finished speaking, the boss and the guys around him fell completely silent.

Shen Bai raised his hand and said, "Since they have abandoned you, why don't you follow me and explain the situation of the Beast Village one by one? Perhaps I can leave you a way to survive."

The reason why he didn't take action was because he had this plan.

Since the other party has given up on them, then when they are in despair, they should be given hope, and perhaps they can be used by themselves.

"Lord Shen is extremely intelligent and has extraordinary means. We cannot match him."

The boss slowly stood up.

Afterwards, he exuded the aura of the Heavenly Spirit Realm.

"But we also know what the organization plans to do next and what it needs us to do."

Shen Bai frowned. He felt that something was not right between his boss and the guys around him.

Including these guys, they all exuded aura, pushing their aura to the peak.

"The organization intends to kill with a borrowed knife."

The boss walked towards Shen Bai.

"In this Beast Village, there are a total of three people at the Absolute Peak Realm, namely the clan leader and two elders of the faction. If we fight with Lord Shen, it will attract their attention, and then Lord Shen will not be able to escape."

Shen Bai frowned. "Your organization has already given up on you, yet you're still willing to die for them. This kind of loyalty is rare."

He finally realized that the other party was planning to start a battle with him, using his aura to attract the people in the Beast Village and then expose him.

After all, he had killed two members of the Beast Village, even though they were members of the conservative faction. But after all, he was an outsider.

If we really attract people from the Beast Village, I'm afraid there will be even bigger troubles later.

Shen Bai still wanted to hide here and find more strange things, he didn't intend to be exposed at this time.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai raised the long sword in his hand and shook his head slightly: "What a pity, you guys overestimate your own strength."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Bai disappeared.

They wanted to expose him, but the strength of this group of people was too low and they were not qualified.

……

On the street outside.

Guo Qi stood here, waiting patiently.

He didn't dare go anywhere else because Shen Bai asked him to wait on this street.

He didn't even think about going to the people in the Beast Village to tell them about Shen Bai's situation.

After all, when they were in the canyon, Shen Bai had given Guo Qi too many shocks.

Guo Qi was afraid that Shen Bai would find him and kill him first.

He was just a businessman, there was no need to offend others at this time, and there was no need to offend Shen Bai at this time.

So Guo Qi really stayed here obediently.

At least in his mind, as long as he did what Shen Bai said, his life would not be in danger.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, two incense sticks had passed.

When Guo Qi was hesitating whether to go inside the Chamber of Commerce to take a look, a person suddenly appeared in front of Guo Qi.

Guo Qi was slightly stunned and asked curiously, "Boss, why did you run out?"

The person in front of him is the boss of the Chamber of Commerce, but shouldn’t he meet Shen Bai now?

Why would he appear here again?
After Guo Qi asked this question, the boss patted Guo Qi on the shoulder and said.

"follow me."

Although he looks like the boss of the Chamber of Commerce, the words he speaks use Shen Bai's tone.

Guo Qi was slightly stunned, and then he knew that it must be Shen Bai who used his skills to change his appearance and turned into the boss's appearance.

Although Guo Qi didn't know why Shen Bai did this, since Shen Bai said so, Guo Qi didn't stop and followed Shen Bai into the Chamber of Commerce again.

Shen Bai stood at the counter, pretending to be counting the bills, and said, "How about it, I look pretty good in this costume, don't I?"

Guo Qi watched Shen Bai skillfully counting the account books and said curiously, "Brother Shen, you act too much like a boss."

Shen Bai smiled and shook his head, thinking of his life as a pawnshop owner. He could get all these things easily.

After asking this question, Guo Qi asked again: "Brother Shen, where is the boss of the Chamber of Commerce?"

"Dead." Shen Bai closed the account book and said in a flat tone.

"died?"

Guo Qi's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief.

"Brother Shen, this is a big deal. This is the largest chamber of commerce in the Beast Village. If the owner of the chamber of commerce dies, it will be difficult to end it."

The two people who died outside the canyon may be insignificant to the Beast Village, but the boss of the largest chamber of commerce in the Beast Village is different.

His status and position are completely different from those two people outside.

If he was really dead, the chief of the Beast Village might come out immediately. Guo Qi didn't know whether Shen Bai would be able to hide at that time.

If Shen Bai was really exposed, Guo Qi, as the person who brought Shen Bai in, would probably not have a good ending. By then, even Hua Village would not be able to protect him.

Shen Bai raised his head and then revealed the identities of the boss and those guys.

After saying this, the fear in Guo Qi's eyes increased at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Shen Bai even saw Guo Qi couldn't help but shiver.

"You look like a rat seeing a cat. Has the chaotic organization really left you with such a deep trauma?"

Guo Qi finally recovered after hearing this, but the fear in his eyes remained. "Brother Shen, you don't know that those who were able to escape to this refuge back then were all members of the fearful organization. You can call us cowards, but we did it to protect our own lives."

“Many people in this world are afraid of death.”

Shen Bai shook his head and said, "I don't think your method is cowardly. It's everyone's nature to seek good fortune and avoid danger. But the question now is not whether you are cowardly, but what we should do next."

Guo Qi agreed and said, "Brother Shen, what do you want to do?"

Shen Bai looked around and said, "I was just wondering, how could such a large chamber of commerce not even find the strange creature? I searched again, but still couldn't find anything related to the strange creature. It seems that the owner of this chamber of commerce secretly sent the strange creature away."

"As for who it's for, you all know. The Chamber of Commerce's boss is dead now, but I heard he often came into contact with the conservative elders. Can you tell me what that elder's personality is like?"

Guo Qi was slightly surprised when he heard this, but then he understood what Shen Bai meant. "Brother Shen, are you planning to pretend to be the boss of the Chamber of Commerce and contact the conservative elders? If you do that, it will be easy to expose your true identity. Although I am a merchant, I have never come into contact with conservative elders."

Shen Bai frowned.

He did have this plan. After all, there was collusion between the conservatives and the Chamber of Commerce bosses. Maybe at some point, he had already implicitly agreed to some things from the Chamber of Commerce bosses.

Shen Bai wanted to get some information.

By then, Shen Bai might be able to get more good things from the Beast Village.

But now it seems that Guo Qi doesn't know the situation of the conservative elders at all.

If Shen Bai disguises himself as the boss of the Chamber of Commerce and contacts the conservative elders, he will be exposed sooner or later.

By then, Shen Bai would be in a passive position.

He didn't come to the Beast Village to kill people, but to get good things. Shen Bai naturally wanted to avoid any fight that could be avoided.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai fell into deep thought.

At this moment, a slight sound of footsteps suddenly rang out.

At the same time, Shen Bai heard a rough voice.

"If you want to contact the Second Elder, perhaps I can help you."

When Shen Bai heard this, he quickly pulled out the Hanyue from his waist and looked towards the source of the sound.

In front of him, an old man in a leather jacket appeared.

The old man is tall and has a straight back. If it weren't for his gray hair, he would look more like a strong middle-aged man.

But the moment Shen Bai saw the old man, he narrowed his eyes.

"An expert at the peak level, not bad, he was able to escape my detection, he must have some tricks up his sleeve."

Even Shen Bai's red eyes did not notice the burly old man in front of him. It was not until he came close that he felt his presence.

The old man raised his right hand, a green snake coiled around his arm. "It's all thanks to this little guy that I was able to get here. The little brother's methods are very advanced and he put a lot of pressure on me, but I'm not a bad person."

"I know that the two people in the canyon were killed by my brother, but they were diehard conservatives. They had many outsiders' lives on their hands, so I killed them."

"Then who are you and why are you here?" Shen Bai held Han Yue and took two steps forward.

The current situation is somewhat unexpected, so Shen Bai thinks that if this battle happens, he will kill this person first.

As for whether the other people in the Beast Village who are at the peak level will arrive, that is a matter for the future. The most important thing is to solve the current trouble first.

Beside him, Guo Qi suddenly shouted, which surprised Shen Bai.

"Great Elder, you are an elder of the radical faction. I didn't expect you to come to the Chamber of Commerce."
