The Performance Was So Bad That Even the Backstage Crew Turned on Each Other!

The venue for the performance was specially built by the Civil Engineering Department disciples of the Vast Heaven Sect, and its style...

Highlighting both its high cost and lack of thrift...

Chu Xinghe's requirement for this amusement park was that it be built as tall and as luxurious as possible, since any performances by guests from their sect would be held here in the future.

This is a matter of pride for our Vast Heaven Sect, so fellow disciples of the Civil Engineering Department, please begin your performance.

The Civil Engineering Department students did not disappoint them. This amusement park, which can accommodate more than 100,000 people, is exquisite in both its architecture and interior decoration, even surpassing the previous construction of the Medicine King Palace and the Artifact Refining Palace.

It has a distinctly exotic feel, reminiscent of the City of Dark Moon.

The only thing that bothered Chu Xinghe was that a group of his fellow students from the Civil Engineering Department found him without warning.

"Junior Brother Xinghe, with the experience from the previous two times, and drawing inspiration from the exotic atmosphere of City of Dark Moon, this time, although the level of luxury in the amusement park we've created far surpasses the previous ones, the cost is actually much lower..."

"Yes... Senior Brother Xinghe, we Civil Engineering Department disciples have all made tremendous progress in building such large projects one after another."

A group of the Civil Engineering Department students expressed their heartfelt gratitude to Chu Xinghe.

In response to the gratitude of the Civil Engineering Department students, Chu Xinghe, with teary eyes, said... "Keep up the good work..."

Led by Chu Xinghe, the guests from all sides entered the amusement park. Even those who were well-traveled and experienced couldn't help but admire the magnificent amusement park.

The sect leader, deputy sect leader, and grand elder personally accompanied the distinguished guests as they took their seats in the first row.

The distinguished guests were praising the performances of the various musicians from Haotian Tower and expressing their anticipation for the show.

Regarding the expectations of the big shots, Chu Xinghe can only say sorry everyone, I'm sorry for today's performance... But... you guys were the ones who wronged me first...

I was just trying to create a fun atmosphere by giving you guys a Flute of Space and Time draw, so what's up?

You guys resort to drastic measures like increasing investment at the drop of a hat? How can you treat me like this?

Wouldn't it be better if everyone started from the same starting line? Why the need for such intense competition?

Especially Zheng Yu, you're the culprit! You always call him "Senior Brother Xinghe" and seem harmless, but you never miss a chance to stab him.

I've saved you so many times, Senior Brother Xinghe, and you still haven't done right by me... How can you face your Senior Brother Xinghe?

Have someone weld the amusement park doors shut. Nobody's leaving until they've seen this hellish show. I haven't even provided a toilet in this amusement park; it's all about being disgusting from start to finish, with no dull moments!

Compared to the anticipation on the faces of others, the people from the Star Moon Sect were actually quite nervous at this moment.

Guo Qizhen sat next to an elder of the Star Moon Sect named Guan Shuo, who was in charge of the various merchant guilds within the Star Moon Sect.

Star Moon Tower was also under its jurisdiction.

Elder Guan deserves much credit for Star Moon Tower's ability to rise against all odds and even surpass Haotian Tower.

"Qizhen, don't panic. As the number one Vast Heaven Sect wouldn't dare to do lightly, so you have absolutely no need to worry."

Elder Guan remained calm, saying that no matter how much the musicians of the Vast Heaven Sect dared to wear, the musicians of his Star Moon Tower dared to wear even less.

If we're talking about shamelessness, even the Vast Heaven Sect dares to do it, so what are we, the Star Moon Tower, afraid of?

Guo Qizhen nodded, and soon, in an incredibly strange atmosphere, the performance at Vast Heaven Music Venue began.

As Guo Qizhen waited expectantly, the musicians of Haotian Tower appeared, but their appearance left Guo Qizhen dumbfounded.

Excuse me... who are those musicians on stage who are all bundled up?

Guo Qizhen was a bit confused. Wasn't it agreed that the Vast Heaven Sect might put on a performance with custom-made costumes?

So you call this custom-made clothing? What the hell is so interesting about this?

Soon the musicians began to play music. It must be said, the musicians of Haotian Tower are quite skilled, and the music was indeed very good. But, may I ask, what the hell is that swarm of ghosts flying around the musicians?

Look at those ghosts, they all seem to be trying to coordinate with the musicians, but they don't know anything about coordination. Their appearance successfully pulled everyone out of that beautiful music.

At this moment, all the big shots were completely bewildered by the sudden appearance of these vengeful ghosts flying around.

Um... is this the performance prepared by the Vast Heaven Sect? Where exactly is the beauty in it?

When the song ended, the venue would have been completely silent if it weren't for Chu Xinghe's frantic applause.

Even Gu Mingchao was dumbfounded... What's with this "Xinghe" thing...? Can you explain what's going on?

We came here to see a show, and this is it?

The Grand Elder looked at Xinghe with a bewildered expression. Who the hell came up with this performance? What's so interesting about it?

Chu Xinghe was secretly overjoyed at the stares of so many powerful figures...

Of course, he couldn't show it too obviously on his face. Chu Xinghe tried his best to appear calm. After tonight, this performance would definitely become the worst performance in the history of the Vast Heaven Sect. Ma Liang did not disappoint him this time!

The performance continued, although the musicians and ghosts had changed, the rhythm remained basically the same.

The melodious music, coupled with the raging ghosts flying everywhere, created a chaotic scene. Everyone present, from big shots to prodigies, had darkened their faces.

The performance lasted a full half hour, and it was dull from start to finish. If it weren't for politeness, the big shots would probably have pointed at the stage and said, "What the hell is this?"

Elder Guan Shuo and Guo Qizhen sat together, both looking at each other with puzzled expressions, seemingly asking, "What the hell is this thing?"

Has Chu Xinghe gone mad? Is he going to smash the Haotian Tower's signboard to pieces?

Not only were the audience members bewildered, but Ma Liang and Lu Chengqing backstage were also filled with despair. They had been working really hard lately, but the problem was that the musicians used to perform in two different ways.

The first approach is for musicians to rely on their personal abilities to captivate audiences with their music. The second approach is to combine music with dance, selecting a group of young, beautiful, and well-dressed girls to accompany the dancers, which can create a more effective effect.

But now, no matter how good the music is, when those vengeful ghosts come out, the beauty is instantly gone. If this weren't at the Vast Heaven Sect, and if Gu Mingchao weren't personally accompanying them, the big shots present would probably have already stormed off.

Lu Chengqing's face turned pale. He knew that after today, his position Southern Branch was probably over.

Look at the Elder's face. If he doesn't kill me right away after this is over, that would be a huge favor from him.

Lu Chengqing's face was filled with despair.

During halftime, Lu Chengqing didn't even bother with the program arrangements for the second half, simply handing everything over to Ma Liang, saying, "Do whatever you want with me..."

Compared to Lu Chengqing's despair, Ma Liang was quite different. Although Ma Liang also knew that he had messed up today, Ma Liang did not think there was anything wrong with Senior Brother Xinghe's strategy. Although the combination of a fierce ghost and a musician sounded completely unreliable, Senior Brother Xinghe must have a deeper meaning!

It's just that I haven't figured out the deeper meaning behind Senior Brother Xinghe's words yet.

Without Lu Chengqing's arrangements for the second half, Ma Liang became the person in charge.

"Senior Brother Ma Liang... who goes first in the second half?"

"Senior Brother Ma Liang, maybe I shouldn't go... I don't think I'll be able to play anything today..."

"Senior Brother Ma Liang, how about we just skip the second half and end it here..."

The group of musicians looked dejected. They were all top-notch musicians, and every performance they gave in the past was met with thunderous applause.

It's not that they haven't performed for the big shots before; even if the big shots wouldn't cheer because of their status, there would still be applause.

But today, forget about applause, just look at the expressions of those big shots below—they're absolutely terrifying!

So how are they supposed to perform now...?

Ma Liang gritted his teeth and assigned musicians, but every musician he called was now crying and begging Senior Brother Ma Liang to let them go, saying, "We really can't perform anymore..."

Halftime is almost over, what the hell are you guys doing if you're not going to play in the second half?

"So none of you're going up... Fine, I'll go up then!" Ma Liang was furious as the intermission was about to end, but none of the musicians were willing to go up. Ma Liang stomped his feet in anger, but he couldn't leave the stage empty.

At the crucial moment, Ma Liang gritted his teeth, stomped his foot, and stepped onto the stage himself.

Ma Liang, who was performing on stage for the first time in such a setting, was completely bewildered. "I'm up here, but what the hell am I doing here? I have absolutely no musical talent..."

But now that he was already on the stage, Ma Liang knew he couldn't just stand there silently, could he?

Fortunately, Ma Liang reacted quickly. "I may not know how to play music, but I can tell stories... How about I tell you a ghost story?"

What kind of ghost story are you going to tell?

In a moment of impulsiveness, Ma Liang suddenly remembered the first time he went to the Spirit Grotto with Senior Brother Xinghe. At that time, everyone thought that they had missed the opening time of the Spirit Grotto and would definitely be punished when they went back, so everyone was in low spirits. But at that time, Senior Brother Xinghe told everyone a series of inspirational stories to encourage them.

Ma Liang was so excited when he heard it, how about I tell you the story today?

While Ma Liang was pondering, Chu Xinghe in the audience was also dumbfounded... Um... Shouldn't the second half continue to annoy everyone?

Ma Liang, what are you doing up here? Did they have a fight backstage because the performance was so bad?

However, Chu Xinghe remained completely unperturbed. What did Ma Liang know about music? What could he possibly do besides stand there?

This guy is definitely going to lose face today!

Just as Chu Xinghe's mind was automatically congratulating him on his fortune, Ma Liang spoke up.

Long, long ago... countless races existed, and the strong were revered. In such an era... a baby was born into the Chu family... He was born with Supreme Divine Bones and should have been a chosen one of heaven. But who could have imagined that from the day he was born, misfortune would follow him one after another...?

"His Supreme Bone was coveted by his wicked elder brother, who forcibly took it away..."

Ma Liang stood on the stage and began to tell his story, but the audience was completely stunned...

What the hell is going on? The performance just now was terrible, but at least it was still a performance. Now, Ma Liang suddenly jumps out and starts telling stories—what the hell is that?

Let's not even talk about what Ma Liang was trying to say, but what the hell is there to listen to?

Seeing the chaotic scene below the stage, Ma Liang realized that his storytelling was a bit monotonous... But Ma Liang was quick-witted... He had the Fengdu Grand Formation!

Without any hesitation, Ma Liang waved his hand, Fengdu Grand Formation enveloped the entire amusement park. In an instant, countless vengeful ghosts flew out of the Fengdu Grand Formation. However, these vengeful ghosts did not fly around randomly, but began to transform into characters in stories as Ma Liang narrated them.

If you only listen to Ma Liang's story, it's very bland and powerless. But if you suddenly add the performance of the various evil spirits in the Fengdu Grand Formation, the story immediately becomes different.

The Ghost Emperor personally transformed into Chu Ahe, the protagonist of the story told by Ma Liang. Under the Ghost Emperor's terrifying illusion, the entire amusement park seemed to become a real world, and everyone was drawn into it to watch Chu Ahe's life from birth to the removal of his Supreme Bone.

The Ghost Emperor and Ma Liang were of one mind, and with the enhancement of his Emperor-level illusion magic, a magnificent world was suddenly unveiled!

Chu Xinghe, sitting in the audience, was also stunned...

Ma Liang, what the hell are you doing? If you're going to tell a story, just tell a story. What's with this sudden switch to playing fantasy movies?
