Chapter 791: The Chaotic Organization Appears

“Brother Shen, this is a serious matter. This is the largest chamber of commerce in Beast Village. If the owner is dead, this will be incredibly difficult to clean up.”

The two people who died outside the canyon might be insignificant to Beast Village, but the owner of the largest chamber of commerce was another story.

His status and position were completely different from those other two.

If he was really dead, the Clan Leader of Beast Village might even get involved personally. Guo Qi had no idea if Shen Bai could remain hidden if that happened.

If Shen Bai was exposed, Guo Qi, as the one who brought him in, would likely meet a terrible end. At that point, not even Flower Village would be able to protect him.

Shen Bai looked up and revealed the identities of the owner and his assistants.

After he spoke, the terror in Guo Qi’s eyes grew at a visible rate.

Shen Bai even saw Guo Qi flinch and shudder.

“You look like a mouse that’s seen a cat. Did the Chaotic Organization really leave such a deep scar on you all?”

Hearing this, Guo Qi composed himself, but the fear in his eyes remained. “Brother Shen, you may not know this, but everyone who managed to escape to this Refuge back then was terrified of the Chaotic Organization. You can call us cowards, but we were just trying to save our own lives.”

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

Shen Bai shook his head. “I don’t think your methods are cowardly. It’s human nature to seek good fortune and avoid disaster. But the issue right now isn’t whether you’re cowards, but what we should do next.”

Guo Qi replied, “Brother Shen, what do you want to do?”

Shen Bai glanced around and said, “I found it strange earlier. How could a chamber of commerce this large not have a single Deceitful Object? I’ve searched again and still haven’t found anything related to them. It seems the owner secretly sent the Deceitful Object out.”

“As for who he sent it to, you know as well as I do. The owner is dead now, but I heard he was often in contact with an Elder from the Conservative Faction. Can you tell me what that Elder’s personality is like?”

Guo Qi was slightly startled when he heard this, then he understood Shen Bai’s meaning. “Brother Shen, are you planning to pose as the chamber of commerce owner to get in contact with the Conservative Faction’s Elder? If so, you could easily expose yourself. Although I’m a traveling merchant, I’ve never had any contact with the Elders of the Conservative Faction.”

Shen Bai frowned.

He did indeed have such a plan. After all, the Conservative Faction was colluding with the chamber owner. It was even possible that they had already tacitly agreed to some of the owner’s demands.

Shen Bai wanted to extract some Information.

If he succeeded, Shen Bai might be able to get even more good things from Beast Village.

But from the looks of it now, Guo Qi knew nothing about the Conservative Faction’s Elder.

If Shen Bai were to pose as the owner and meet with the Conservative Faction’s Elder, he would be exposed sooner or later.

At that point, Shen Bai would be the one at a disadvantage.

He hadn’t come to Beast Village to kill people, but to acquire good things. Shen Bai naturally wanted to avoid any unnecessary fights.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai fell into deep thought.

Just then, the sound of soft footsteps suddenly echoed.

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

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

Hearing this, Shen Bai swiftly drew the Cold Moon from his waist and looked toward the source of the voice.

An old man in leather clothes appeared before him.

The old man was tall with a straight back. If not for his graying hair, he would have looked more like a robust middle-aged man.

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

‘A master of the Peak Realm. Impressive. He actually managed to evade my detection. He’s got some skills.’

Even Shen Bai’s Void-breaking Red Eye hadn’t noticed this sturdy old man. He only sensed the man’s presence when he was already close.

The old man raised his right hand, a Cyan Snake coiled around his arm. “It’s all thanks to this little fellow that I was able to get here. Young brother, your methods are formidable, and you give me no small amount of pressure, but I am not a bad person.”

“I know you killed the two men in the canyon, little brother. But they were diehards from the Conservative Faction. They had the blood of many outsiders on their hands. Killing them is no great loss.”

“Then who are you, and why have you come here?” Shen Bai tightened his grip on the Cold Moon and took two steps forward.

The situation had once again taken an unexpected turn. Shen Bai decided that if a fight were to break out, he would cut this man down first.

Whether the other Peak Realm experts in Beast Village would rush over was a problem for later. Dealing with the immediate trouble was the priority.

Beside him, Guo Qi suddenly cried out, surprising Shen Bai.

“Grand Elder! You’re an Elder of the Radical Faction! I never thought you’d come to the chamber of commerce too.”
