Chapter 376: The Rules Were the Rules

As soon as he said this, Gu Xi could not help but be a little surprised.

He had thought that he would only have to pay a small price at most, and his so-called price was nothing more than a certain amount of spirit stones or high-level spirit tools and pills. After all, the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion was just a Chamber of Commerce.

A life for a life, this clearly surprised him.

“The rules of your ten Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion don’t seem like a Chamber of Commerce.” After the surprise, Gu Xi’s expression once again returned to indifference.

In contrast to his surprise, the surrounding spectators were not very surprised by Tong Shan’s words. Clearly, this was not the first time such a thing had happened.

Since the establishment of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, there had always been some blind people who came to the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion to cause trouble, and the pavilion had maintained a uniform rule to deal with these people. That was, the troublemaker would fight with the local people of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion. If they were alive, they would leave. If they were dead, they would die.

“Although our Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion is only a Chamber of Commerce, it has been able to stand on the continent for so many years without collapsing. Naturally, it has a set of rules that belongs to us.”

Tong Shan smiled as he spoke, but the spiritual energy in his body had already begun to circulate quietly. “No one can break the rules here. You can only leave after defeating me.”

As his voice fell, the pressure in the world suddenly became much heavier, pressing down on Gu Xi like a mountain. However, Gu Xi did not show any signs of weakness. He continued to pour his spiritual energy into the barrier in front of him, forcibly resisting the pressure brought by Tong Shan once again.

“This kid can actually withstand Pavilion Master Tong’s pressure!”

“It seems that he isn’t a kind person either!”

Seeing that the two did not have a winner for a while, everyone could not help but exclaim.

Even Tong Shan’s eyes flashed with a trace of surprise.

On the contrary, Gu Xi’s expression was still indifferent. According to the aura displayed by Tong Shan, he should be a late-stage Saint cultivator.

Late-stage Saint cultivator, while Gu Xi was at the peak of early-stage Saint cultivator. To put it bluntly, the two of them were only a small realm apart.

Although it was only a small realm, compared to the mid-stage Saint cultivator, the late-stage Saint cultivator could still firmly suppress the former. However, if it was Gu Xi, it might not be the case.

With the help of the System, Gu Xi had absolute confidence in defeating Tong Shan, but he also had his own concerns. According to the rules of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, would he really be able to walk out so easily? He was not sure!

Even if he defeated Tong Shan, would another Tong Shan appear later?

For a moment, Gu Xi could not help but fall into hesitation.

After all, this was the other party’s territory, and he was in the wrong to kill someone. If he continued to fight with the other party, it would not make sense.

As the number one Chamber of Commerce in the world, Gu Xi did not want to offend them if he had a choice.

If he offended the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, he might not be able to buy things from them anymore. It would be a huge loss, right?

“It is indeed impressive that you can reach such a realm at such a young age. However, if you only have this bit of strength, I’m afraid you won’t be able to leave the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion today.”

Tong Shan opened his mouth once again. At the same time, the pressure that permeated the sky suddenly increased by several times. The barrier that was pressuring Gu Xi actually began to shrink continuously.

As this was within the interior of the Chamber of Commerce, Tong Shan’s attack was not overly violent. Instead, he chose to use this kind of gradual and orderly method. Of course, compared to the method of fighting and killing, this kind of method was actually more tormenting one’s mentality.

Looking at the shrinking barrier in front of him, Gu Xi could not help but frown. Just as he was about to continue pouring his spiritual power in, a cold voice suddenly sounded.

“This is a bit of a bully. How about we spar?”

As this familiar voice sounded, the pressure on Gu Xi immediately disappeared without a trace. On the other hand, Tong Shan let out a muffled groan and involuntarily took a few steps back before coming to a stop.

Following the source of the voice, they saw that the crowd had once again opened up a path as Little Nine and Qing Zhu slowly walked in.

At this moment, Little Nine’s expression was somewhat unfriendly. As Gu Xi’s contracted divine beast, she naturally could not bear to see Gu Xi being bullied in front of her.

On the other hand, Qing Zhu, who was at the side, looked at Gu Xi as if he deserved it.

From her point of view, Gu Xi must have acted like a beast to bully the servant girl of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion, which was why he was surrounded by the people of the Ten Thousand Treasures Pavilion.

However, since Little Nine insisted on saving him, she naturally would not say anything. However, if it were her, she would not save this kind of man even if she was beaten to death.

On the other side, Tong Shan’s face was full of surprise. He never expected that with his current late-stage Saint realm, he would be suppressed by Little Nine in an instant. Moreover, this suppression was the kind of unreasonable suppression!

When the woman at the side saw Little Nine and Qing Zhu again, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes, and then quickly disappeared without a trace.

“This… Lady… Why do you want to interfere in the matter of our Thousand Treasure Pavilion?” Tong Shan forcefully suppressed the surprise in his heart and said carefully.

In the face of absolute suppression, even if it was a woman opposite him, he did not dare to show the slightest disrespect, for fear of provoking the other party.

“I want to interfere, so what? What can you do to me?”

Little Nine crossed her arms, completely not intending to reason with the opposite party.

“Uh…” Tong Shan was clearly at a loss because of Little Nine’s attitude. Even a knowledgeable person like him did not know how to deal with it.

“Pavilion Master Tong, these two are just my friends.” At this moment, Gu Xi promptly opened her mouth to introduce Tong Shan.

“I see.” Hearing this, Tong Shan suddenly came to a realization. However, at the same time, he was already complaining incessantly in his heart. For a moment, he did not know how to deal with it.

According to the rules of the Ten Thousand Treasure Pavilion, they should fight with the perpetrator regardless of life or death. However, it was obvious that they could no longer carry on.

He was also very clear in his heart that he was absolutely not a match for Little Nine. If he were to forcefully fight with her, with the latter’s unreasonable appearance, it was possible that she might tear down this branch in a fit of anger.

“I wonder, Pavilion Master Tong, can we leave now?” Looking at Tong Shan who was in a dilemma, Gu Xi slowly asked.

Hearing this, Tong Shan smacked his lips and glanced at the woman beside him from the corner of his eyes. Then, he cleared his throat and continued, “Sorry, rules are rules. Please fight with me and leave based on your strength.”

Hearing this, Gu Xi narrowed his eyes and looked a little unhappy.
