My path to immortality began with my posting to guard Dawancun.

Chapter 100 Conflict of Interest
"Brother, I heard that the Sanhe Chamber of Commerce has decided to set up shop in Dawan Village!"

"It is said that the other major chambers of commerce have also expressed interest. Once they succeed in this matter, it is certain that we will not only fail to get a share of the pie, but we will not even get a drop of the soup!"

The headquarters of the Mutual Aid Alliance for Protecting Homes

Inside the spacious hall,
A figure spoke to the imposing figure seated at the head of the table, his voice filled with righteous indignation.

If Shen Changchuan were here,
You will then find that,

The person who reported this was none other than the same envoy who had been sent to Dawan Village and had arrogantly demanded that Shen Changchuan join their Mutual Aid Alliance for Protecting the Homeland, a man known as Sixth Master by his subordinates!
At this moment, the man known as Sixth Master showed great respect to the figure in the head seat.

But at the same time,
When talking about Dawancun,
The disgust in his expression was almost entirely undisguised.

"Brother, just leave this to me. I'll have my men take care of it and cripple them!"

"A mere fifteen or sixteen-year-old brat dares to steal our business!"

"This will also serve as a warning to others, showing outsiders the consequences of not joining our Home Defense Mutual Aid Alliance!"

The messenger, referred to as Sixth Master, revealed a ruthless expression.

however,
In response to his words,
The burly figure at the head of the table had a gloomy expression.

But he didn't say a word.

The matter of Dawan Village,
As the leader of the Mutual Aid Alliance, he naturally had some understanding of this.

The reason they sent someone to invite them was naturally because they were interested in the benefits that the reputation of the Shen family of Tiannan in Dawan Village could bring.

At the time, I was thinking,

If even the Dawancun village controlled by the Shen family were to join their ranks...

The mutual aid alliance for protecting families will definitely be promoted even faster.
Taking advantage of the Wu family's seclusion, this allows more villages and small cultivation forces to join the alliance, thus enabling them to plunder more cultivation resources.

This was something that had been planned from the beginning.

Unexpectedly, the invitation failed.

He even personally inquired about the specific situation at the time.

However, after understanding the situation,

His assessment of that brat from Dawan Village named Shen Changchuan was that he was greedy and arrogant!

This isn't just an assessment that he did this because he was biased towards his own brothers.
Rather, it's a belief from the bottom of their hearts.

A mere brat at the fourth or fifth level of Qi Refining,
The entire force had no experts. If it weren't for the powerful banner of the Tiannan Shen Clan behind them, even a mere Qi Refining Level 6 cultivator would have been enough to sweep them all away!

How dare such a weak bunch of ants bare their teeth at them?!

You should know that in order to show respect,
He personally sent the sixth brother, who was at the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining, to lead a group to invite him!
With the sixth brother's strength,
One person is enough to crush them all!
This is giving them too much credit and showing them too much respect!
Joining the Mutual Aid Alliance means that you, a group of vulnerable people, receive some protection. Isn't it normal to collect a small protection fee?
You are so weak that you don't even have the ability to protect yourselves in the impending chaos.

What right do they have to negotiate terms?!
These conditions are already very generous compared to your strength and compared to others!
Isn't this as it should be?
But the result was that the arrogant brat not only didn't appreciate it, but...
They even "sent" the sixth son out of the village!
That's disrespectful.

After learning the whole story, the leader of the Mutual Aid Alliance had a very bad first impression of the kid named Shen Changchuan!

However, due to the background of the Shen family of Tiannan,
He dared not make any rash moves.

He could only put that aside for the time being and focus all his efforts on managing the Mutual Aid Alliance to acquire resources for his cultivation path.

With the development of the times
With the subsequent series of measures, the Baojia Mutual Aid Alliance was finally able to develop.

The alliance now boasts a powerful force spanning forty-nine villages!

After the Wu family was almost completely sealed off, all the small, rootless forces were brought over.

The tremendous achievements during this period
He had almost given up on that arrogant kid. But unexpectedly...
Now, that Dawan Village, and that arrogant brat Shen Changchuan, have reappeared before his eyes!
"Dawan Village, Shen Changchuan"

The leader of the Mutual Aid Alliance silently recited these words.

His complexion was also somewhat gloomy.

During this period, with the influx of a large number of foreign cultivators bringing business opportunities due to rumors,
As the leader of a power spanning forty-nine villages, he naturally noticed this keenly.

He had originally planned to...

Shortly afterward, they contacted the chamber of commerce in Qingcheng and invited them to temporarily reside there in order to generate huge profits during that period.

Unexpectedly, I received such terrible news.

The arrogant brat he had long forgotten suddenly jumped up and slapped him.

Yes,

This is terrible news!
Because he knew very well,

The so-called "Home Protection Mutual Aid Alliance" is nothing more than a bunch of bullies operating in this remote rural area.

In the eyes of the constantly pouring in of independent cultivators from the outside world, their deterrent power was far less than that of the big signboard of the Shen family of Tiannan!
at this point,
Not only did he understand,
Other chambers of commerce will only understand this even better!
Therefore,
Once the plan of the Sanhe Chamber of Commerce and Shen Changchuan of Dawan Village succeeds.

The first choice for many business associations and merchants who want to do business here will be Nada Bay Village!

With the intimidating reputation of the Shen family of Tiannan,

Chambers of commerce band together for mutual support.

With greater resilience to risks, businesses will also experience a clustering effect, attracting more customers and gaining a larger customer base.

Those numerous benefits

Put yourself in someone else's shoes.
The leader of the Mutual Aid Alliance doesn't think anyone else will refuse.

Such enormous profits,
It seems that things will no longer be their concern!
"Big brother, stop thinking about it!"

"If we act now, we still have a chance. If we delay any longer and wait until they complete the cooperation and the elite guards of the Sanhe Chamber of Commerce move in, the difficulties we will face will only increase dramatically!"

"If that benefit falls into our hands, it would probably be enough for you to break through to the ninth level of Qi Refining!"

Seeing that the eldest brother in the seat of honor had a gloomy and uncertain expression but did not speak, he seemed to be considering something.

The sixth brother was a little anxious and quickly tried to persuade him.

The imposing figure at the head of the table pondered for a moment.
Finally, he spoke in a deep voice:
"Sixth Brother, calm down."

"Of course I know this matter is of great importance."

"But, after all, that's the Shen family."

Between talking,

A hint of apprehension flashed across the burly figure's face.

Yes,

That's the Shen family, after all!

The previous owners of Dawan Village, the Hu family, were quite well-known in this desolate place twenty years ago, and their patriarch was one of the few Qi Refining experts of this generation.

But what about the results?

Because he killed a member of a collateral branch of the Shen family, he made one wrong step and was wiped out!
