Chapter 277: A cornered dog will jump over the wall, the power of building the foundation

In the imperial palace of the Xia Dynasty, in a large but nameless garden, a group of masters were drinking, admiring the moon, and talking about the world.

Among them of course is Tao Shushan, or it would be better to say that Tao Shushan is the protagonist among the masters.

Tao Shushan was treated very well by the Xia Dynasty.

Even though the transaction of rare items did not go very smoothly, both parties could be said to be making money in harmony.

In particular, Tao Shushan himself was left in the palace.

Not everyone can live in this place. Xia Chao treated him so well, on the one hand to show his importance to him, and on the other hand, of course, it was also so that he could keep a better eye on him.

Except for a few people like Gu Dan, the rest of the masters of the Xia Dynasty all gathered around Tao Shushan, and basically ate and lived with him.

It is simply impossible to do anything weird under the noses of so many masters.

Of course, this is not imprisonment after all, and the rest of the members of the International Chamber of Commerce can still move "freely".

The International Chamber of Commerce is not small. Since they have to make a long journey, various supplies and transactions are still necessary. They cannot eat rare treasures, and they cannot eat mist and drink dew.

The Xia Dynasty is certainly not unable to afford the materials needed by the International Chamber of Commerce, but in order not to appear aggressive, it is better to give it a break and let it go. After all, if the Grand Master stays here, how much trouble can he cause?

It was already late at night, but the moonlight was becoming brighter.

In a pavilion in the garden, several masters sat around a stone table. There were no candles or lanterns around. From the masters' eyesight, as long as it was not completely dark, it was nothing.

"The moon is bright and the stars are retreating. The moon is so beautiful tonight that even the stars have to move away."

Zou Dan held the wine jug and poured himself a glass of wine. Under the moonlight, the ripples created by the wine appeared like silver waves, one wave hitting the other, and finally hitting the wall and forming a small whirlpool.

After staring at the contents of the cup for a moment, Zou Dan drank it all in one gulp and said, "The news about the immortal court in the human world is just like a bright moon shining in the human world. Even the Grandmaster will be eclipsed. People like you and me are in the middle of it. Where should we go?"

Grandmasters basically don't talk about age and seniority, unless they already have a very good relationship. Otherwise, they all talk about friendship as equals. There is no need to be restrained, and no one can suppress anyone else. Therefore, there is no need to be cautious when talking.

"Brother Zou, what you said is very much to my liking."

As the saying goes, one can know the elegant meaning of music by listening to it. As soon as Zou Dan opened his mouth, Zhuang Sheng knew what he meant. He immediately took over Zou Dan's words and said, "But this statement is also inappropriate.

No matter how bright the moonlight is, those who are closer can always get more of it and see it more clearly. Although we are lucky enough to get a little bit of the moonlight, how can we compare to our friends who came from the land of the bright moon? "

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's eyes turned to Tao Shushan.

The bright moon is the fairy palace, and the stars are the masters.

When the moon shines brightly, the stars lose their color.

Naturally, I want to know whether the bright moon is a guiding light in the darkness.

"Ha ha."

Tao Shushan chuckled twice. Since they had such a good idea, he naturally spoke out: "The bright moon naturally shines everywhere, but all things are ignorant. Even if they are lucky enough to be illuminated by the moonlight, they are still drowsy and confused, and all is silent."

He pointed in all directions, and apart from this pavilion, there was no other person in sight, nor the sound of chickens crowing or dogs barking - this was the imperial palace of the Xia Dynasty!

Everything seemed so quiet and ethereal, with only the voices of a few people echoing around and gradually disappearing in the wind.

"The path to immortality is difficult, even if you know the end point, how many people can climb to the top?"

Tao Shushan shrugged slightly, his face full of loneliness and solitude, "Even if we are under the same sky and see the same thing, everyone's perception is different. I see the bright moon, but there is only the bright moon. What if the bright moon also dims?"

Clouds floated in from the sky, blocking the moonlight.

The bright moonlight disappeared in an instant.

"oh?"

This time, Qingpingzi's heart moved, and he asked: "Could it be that there is a problem with the Immortal Court as well?"

"It's not a big problem."

Tao Shushan said: "It's simple. Shallow water cannot support a dragon. Even if there are five spiritual energy sources, the time in the world is short after all. You and I are lucky enough to see the bright light, but we can never see the true appearance of the bright moon.

Even if the moonlight can condense into a full moon one day, we will have returned to the land of darkness and gloom, and there is nothing we can do!"

This statement is said with sincerity.

To be able to break through the realms one by one simply by relying on spiritual energy, how monstrous must one's talent be?

The vast majority of people, throughout their entire lives, only take a few steps on the road to immortality.

"It is a blessing to be able to see the bright light. What else can I ask for if I have the opportunity to bathe in the bright light?"

"What I'm afraid of is seeing the bright light but not being able to take a step forward."

The two masters, who had been sitting in the corner, drinking by themselves and never speaking, spoke at the same time, with sour faces.

It takes ten years to reach the Buzhou Mountains.

Ten years! Their deadline no longer allows them to do so.

Even though they lived in the same era, were both masters, drank together, and shared hope, they no longer had a future.

The traveler walking in the desert finally learned the news of the oasis, but unfortunately, he was destined not to reach it before his death.

Compared to those who still have the opportunity to climb, the situation of the two of them is more than just miserable.

Once the two of them started talking, it became difficult to continue the topic.

After all, the more beautiful and profound the way to immortality is, the more regretful they will feel.

Talking about these things in front of the two of them was like stabbing a knife in the heart.

Even the Grandmaster is powerless sometimes! Tao Shushan said very cleverly: "The world is so big that anything can happen. Who could have thought that the Zhou Mountain, which connects the sky and the earth, would be smashed by a meteor falling from the sky, and it would create a chance for immortality in the mortal world? As long as you are still alive, there is always a chance."

This chicken soup was quite good, but the two masters were not interested in it at all.

The reason why miracles are called miracles is because they are very difficult to happen.

You can't secretly pray for another nightfall of stars from the sky to hit the Xia Dynasty, right?

I'm afraid he will be torn to pieces alive right away.

"Yes, there are always opportunities when you are alive, but there are always people who can't wait to seek death."

As he was speaking, a voice came from a distance.

The dark clouds were pushed away by the wind, and the man stepped on the dark land. With every step forward, the moonlight spread forward an inch. The silver moon was bright and the moonlight filled the sky, as if it was paved for him.

A man in blue clothes descended upon the earth, and the bright moon in the sky became a backdrop.

But what he said was not very auspicious.

All the masters looked over, and when they saw Gu Dan, the masters of the Xia Dynasty chose to remain silent.

Because Gu Dan was holding two people in his hands and walking towards here step by step. His cold eyes fell on Tao Shushan, and his cold voice was filled with unforgivable murderous intent.

Behind Gu Dan, Qin Lisheng, covered in blood, and Xun Ke, with a hole in his chest, also gradually walked over.

After seeing these three people, Tao Shushan couldn't help but twitch his lips even though he hid it well. Then he looked at the two people in Gu Dan's hands in surprise and asked curiously, "How dare a thief break into the Xia Dynasty's palace at night?"

"This is no petty thief."

Gu Dan threw the two bodies to the ground with a casual throw, "After all, how could anyone who dared to dig up Mo Qiu and Ji Lao's graves be a petty thief?"

"What?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the Xia Dynasty masters who had been able to remain calm in the pavilion jumped up one after another, their faces changing drastically.

If it weren't for the years of cultivating qi, I would have been shocked.

Who thinks that the Nine Clans are living too well and wants to add some soil to their graves? !

How desperate must you be to dig up the tombs of Mo Qiu and Ji Lao at the same time? I can barely understand why you dug up Ji Lao's tomb, because there really are quite a few burial objects in there.

But do you dare to dig from Moqiu?

Are you tired of living?

The man who forced the four nations to surrender and the emperor to abdicate last time is still here! Even if he doesn't need to take action, the Mohist School is not easy to mess with! "Is this true?"

Tao Shushan's face was full of surprise, not pretending at all, as if everything really had nothing to do with him, "I wonder where this thief is so bold?"

"Master Tao, it's already this time, so there's no need to pretend anymore, right?"

Gu Dan was not interested in playing tricks with him, so he said straightforwardly: "How many Rongzong Fu do you have? Why not take them out and let me see them?"

Hearing the words "Melting Sect Talisman", Tao Shushan's pupils shrank slightly, but his expression remained unchanged. He just shouted: "It's unfair! I'm right here, how can this matter be related to me? All the masters can testify! If you suspect our International Chamber of Commerce, I can also summon all the people in the Chamber of Commerce for you to examine. If anyone is missing, I will ask you!"

He spoke crisply and clearly, showing that he was calm in the face of emergencies.

However, this is the home ground of the Xia Dynasty.

The masters of the Xia Dynasty, no matter whether they were close to him or not, understood deeply at this time that if they offended another person badly, no matter how good their immortal way was, it would be of no use.

They simply surrounded Tao Shushan, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that he could not escape even if he had wings.

Even if you are a fellow master, if you are surrounded by so many masters, the only outcome is death.

"What do you mean?"

Tao Shushan's expression finally changed at this time, but his face was still full of grievance and disbelief. "Could it be that Xia Chao thought that my Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce had countless rare treasures, so he wanted to rob it? We are businessmen, and although we should be kind to others, we can't just let them beat us up!"

"At this time, you still want to make a name for yourself? With so many living spiritual materials, don't you want any of them?"

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Gu Dan asked coldly.

It was not until the word "spiritual material" came out that Tao Shushan finally confirmed it.

The two dead masters of the Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce have already revealed all the secrets! In order to conceal their tracks, the Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce secretly called the master's skeletons, and replaced them with spiritual materials. Even if outsiders eavesdropped, they would only mistakenly think that they were looking for rare treasures.

This time, Tao Shushan finally put away his fake expression. His face suddenly turned cold, no longer smiling and kind. He said harshly, "How dare they tell others about this? Aren't they afraid that their family and descendants will have no chance of survival?"

"Death is not scary. What is scary is that you can't die even if you want to."

Gu Dan raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Your Excellency's words seem to be more stubborn than those two. I wonder if you can be as stubborn as them later."

"Since the news has been exposed, I admit defeat."

Tao Shushan said coldly: "How about giving each of you a rare treasure, plus a map to the Buzhou Mountains, and letting us leave?"

"ha."

Even Gu Dan was amused by Tao Shushan's shamelessness.

Even after his grave was dug up and the truth was revealed, he still wanted to buy his life.

You really took advantage of the good things! "Should I say you are delusional, or that you are out of your mind? Or do businessmen really think that everything can be traded?"

Gu Dan said.

"snort."

Tao Shushan snorted coldly, and with a flick of his sleeve, a Shang character token appeared in his right hand. He shook his left hand again, and grasped five Rongzong talismans at once.

After the two things were revealed, Tao Shushan seemed to have great confidence, and even his back was straight, as if he had found a backer, "You killed two masters of my Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce, I can forgive you and even apologize. If you don't know what's good for you, the Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce will not be easy to mess with!"

Perhaps to verify what he said, the aura on the Shang token that he had activated once rose up again.

An aura that surpassed that of a Grandmaster enveloped him, causing the faces of the Grandmasters surrounding him to turn slightly pale.

Only because this time, the aura on it seemed extremely aggressive.

It was like a pack of wolves encountering a tiger! Even the power of the Grandmaster that they had always trusted seemed a little insignificant in front of that power.

That is a force that is a whole realm away and is beyond the capacity of a Grandmaster to bear.

What's more, this is the imperial palace of the Xia Dynasty, and it is indeed not suitable for a fight.

However, it is not the turn for these masters to express their opinions here.

Faced with Tao Shushan's coercion, Gu Dan said nothing and stepped forward.

"You, don't be ungrateful!"

Tao Shushan frowned.

He was unwilling to activate the power in the token unless it was absolutely necessary.

However, Gu Dan ignored him and just walked towards him slowly and unhurriedly.

"Two rare treasures for each Grandmaster. This is my bottom line. Stop being so aggressive!"

Tao Shushan said through gritting his teeth.

Gu Dan looked at him calmly, as if he was looking at a dead man.

Perhaps it is because Tao Shushan has done so much business with dead people that he feels that everything can be traded.

When the two were within ten steps of each other, Tao Shushan angrily yelled, "You don't know what's good for you!"

In his left hand, a melting talisman burned up in an instant.

A beam of light flew towards Gu Dan's face at a speed that even a master could hardly match.

However, before it could touch Gu Dan, a white shield with a green glow blocked it all.

Just like boiling water hitting solid ice, a crackling sound was heard instantly.

But it didn't last long at all, and everything disappeared again.

The Qi shield blocking Gu Dan seemed to be intact.

The Rongzong Fu, which was designed to destroy the master's protective true qi, was as ridiculous as trying to lift Mount Tai with a small wooden stick in front of Gu Dan's true qi.

After the condensation of his five internal organs, Gu Dan, who had devoted himself to practice for nearly forty years, was no longer something that ordinary masters could imagine.

He just didn't break through again, instead of standing still.

"How is that possible?!"

After witnessing the "ineffectiveness" of the Rongzong Talisman, Tao Shushan's face changed drastically.

It was even more surprising than when Gu Dan revealed the true face of the International Chamber of Commerce.

The Melting Sect Talisman is a weapon specially designed to deal with the Grandmaster!

The Wan Guo Chamber of Commerce has traveled to so many countries, and has used this item to secretly kill countless masters, and has never failed! Even if it does not take the master's life immediately, it will also greatly reduce his combat power.

Tao Shushan had never seen anyone who could take the blow of the Rongzong Fu without any hesitation, just like a breeze blowing on his face.

He even couldn't help but wonder if the Rongzong Talisman he used was a fake or defective product.

"If that's all."

Gu Dan said: "You are now killing yourself, which is a relief."

"Go to hell!"

Tao Shushan still did not give up. As a fellow master, his advantage was that he had the Rong Zong Talisman and the Shang character token in his hands. Once the Rong Zong Talisman became ineffective, it would mean the loss of a great helper, which would be disastrous.

At that moment, two more Rongzong talismans spontaneously ignited without wind. Tao Shushan stared with his eyes wide open, not willing to miss a single detail.

The familiar five-colored beam of light burst out and smashed into the Qi shield in front of Gu Dan.

A teeth-grinding hissing sound rang out in the air, like venom corroding the ground.

This time Tao Shushan saw it very clearly. The Rongzong Talisman was not without effect. It did pry open some of Gu Dan's true Qi, but that little bit of true Qi was dissipated, and there was still a long way to go before it could break the true Qi shield!

As for the special effect of disrupting the opponent's true qi, it was even more nonsense. How could he disrupt the true qi without even breaking the defense? This unprecedented and unimagined scene completely shattered his fantasy.

If you walk too much at night, you will always run into ghosts! In a flash, Gu Dan was only five steps away from him.

For the Grandmaster, this distance is already within reach.

At that moment, Tao Shushan couldn't help but clench the Shang character token in his right hand, and said coldly: "If you dare to take another step forward, I will let you see the power above the Grandmaster!"

Faced with his threat, Gu Dan did not hesitate at all. He took a step forward.

Suddenly, the aura of the Shang character token in Tao Shushan's hand became stronger! The pressure that would make the Grandmaster ashamed was about to burst out! (End of this chapter)
