Chapter 789: The Chaotic Organization Appears

The man in white nodded, folded fan in hand, and slowly stood up.

Just then, the shop clerks also bared their fangs, completely surrounding Shen Bai.

“I truly never expected to face you directly under these circumstances.” The man in white shook his head, his demeanor as elegant as ever.

“In my mind, our final battle was supposed to happen only after I had taken complete control of Beast Village. But now, it seems things have gone far beyond my expectations.”

Shen Bai laughed. “Things have gone beyond my expectations as well. I was just casually wandering through the shops and happened to stumble upon your Chaotic Organization’s great secret.”

Back when he was outside, Shen Bai had already used his Piercing Void Red Eye to overhear their entire conversation.

At this point, he figured he might as well be direct. ‘First, I’ll eliminate this so-called Chaotic Organization from Beast Village, and then I’ll figure out the rest.’

Before entering, he had already performed a calculation with his Infinite Divination Skill. The results indicated great fortune, so Shen Bai had nothing to fear.

As for Guo Qi, Shen Bai had him wait outside.

And under the influence of the Void-breaking Red Eye, Guo Qi was indeed waiting obediently on a nearby street.

At this moment, Shen Bai and the man in white stared at each other. Although neither had made a move, they could feel the powerful aura from the other.

The man in white said in admiration, “To be at the Void Realm and yet make me feel such intense pressure… you are truly powerful. No wonder the Wild Taoist Sect, the Wild Buddha Sect, and Xinhua Academy all fell at your hands. You’ve even killed quite a few members of our organization.”

“What realm are you in?”

Shen Bai drew Cold Moon. The sound of the blade sliding from its scabbard was so sharp it made one’s eardrums ache.

“Someone at the Celestial Spirit Realm couldn’t handle you.”

The man in white tapped his palm with his folded fan. “We are well aware of your talent for Overcoming Adversity and Attacking Upward. The very fact that I can stand before you so calmly means I am certainly not in the Celestial Spirit Realm. Besides, while Beast Village may be just one unremarkable Refuge among many, it’s not a prize that someone in the Celestial Spirit Realm could scheme for. Therefore, you should have a very clear idea of what realm I am in.”

Shen Bai nodded. “I see. The realm beyond the Celestial Spirit Realm is generally known as the Peak Realm. It looks like you’re at the Peak Realm, then.”

The next level after the Celestial Spirit Realm is called the Peak Realm.

Shen Bai had encountered this realm before. The City Lord he had slain not long ago was at this very level.

For Shen Bai, at his current Void Realm strength, to fight across the Celestial Spirit Realm and challenge someone at the Peak Realm was indeed a significant challenge, but not an impossible one.

The man in white looked at Shen Bai in surprise. “You’re quite calm. Don’t you know the gap between the Celestial Spirit Realm and the Peak Realm is like a heavenly chasm? That for someone at the Peak Realm, killing someone at the Celestial Spirit Realm is as easy as cutting grass?”

Shen Bai shrugged. “The fact that I dared to appear here after encountering you proves I have no reservations. But from the looks of it, it seems this fight isn’t going to happen after all.”

When Shen Bai finished speaking, the smile on the white-robed man’s face faltered for a moment.

He sighed. “If only you were a member of our organization. You have not only strength, but also a formidable temperament. Either quality alone would be considered top-tier within our ranks. What a pity…”

As he said this, the white-robed man’s body gradually began to turn transparent.

The shop owner standing beside him froze for a moment, then reached out to grab the man in white, but his hand passed right through him.

“Sir, what’s happening?”

The shop owner’s voice was filled with panic.

If the man in white left or disappeared just like that, there was no way he could handle Shen Bai on his own. And from the looks of it, that was exactly what was happening.

The man in white glanced back at the shop owner. “We can’t fight here. I’m not the only one at the Peak Realm in this place. The Clan Leader and the two Elders from the Conservative and Radical Factions are at the same level. If a battle breaks out here, I will die for certain, and so will Shen Bai. So, I’m leaving first.”

The shop owner’s eyes widened. “But if you leave, the entire plan for Beast Village will be ruined! All the organization’s preparations will have been for nothing.”

‘If the man in white leaves now,’ the shop owner thought, ‘I’ve already been exposed. I won’t be able to escape being killed by Shen Bai. All of my previous arrangements will be a complete failure.’

‘I can’t believe the organization would just toss me aside like a disposable pawn. Especially not with Shen Bai right here. They wouldn’t do that.’

But the young, white-robed man’s last words before he vanished caused the shop owner to break down completely.

“Someone at the Peak Realm is far too important. I’ll have plenty of time to ‘play’ with Shen Bai in the future. Now is not the time.”

The man in white glanced at Shen Bai. “Remember my name. I am Dongfang Qing. You’ve piqued my interest. The next time we meet, I’ll give you a proper match. As for Beast Village… consider it a gift.”

The moment his voice faded, Dongfang Qing vanished completely.

Actually, as Dongfang Qing was disappearing, Shen Bai had already sensed it.

He seemed to have used some unique art, as not even Shen Bai could prevent his departure.

Through his Void-breaking Red Eye, Shen Bai could clearly sense that Dongfang Qing’s method of departure wasn’t a simple relocation from one part of Beast Village to another. He had left Beast Village entirely.

That was precisely why Shen Bai had said the fight wouldn’t happen.

The shop owner collapsed onto the ground, his face a mask of utter despair.

The shop clerks surrounding Shen Bai wore the same expressions of despair as their boss.
