When Ma Liang went on stage to tell his story, Chu Xinghe remained completely calm.

What haven't these bigwigs in the audience seen? No matter how captivating your story is, will it move them?

Besides, Ma Liang's story was so disjointed and halting, it was clearly a spur-of-the-moment idea. How could you possibly turn it around?

The story of Ma Liang is terrible, but no matter how terrible the story is, if the visuals are fully utilized, the effect can be explosive.

At this point, the story of Ma Liang is utterly stale...

What's so interesting about a guy who was born with his Supreme Bone removed, constantly being bullied and shouting things like "I'll defy fate and change my destiny!" and other such melodramatic plots and lines?

The problem was that the Ghost Emperor himself performed the Fengdu Grand Formation, and his top-notch illusion magic instantly brought everyone into that magnificent world. Everyone watched as Chu Ahe, the Ghost Emperor's incarnation, grew little by little in adversity, with countless fierce ghosts playing various roles.

If you make vengeful ghosts play along with the music, they'll be completely useless except for flying around aimlessly. But if you make them play villains, they'll be born villains.

Each of the vengeful ghosts didn't need much acting; they effortlessly brought to life the various villains who bullied the protagonist.

On the stage, Ma Liang was in charge of telling the story, while the vengeful ghost was in charge of the visuals. It was clearly a very clichéd story of a loser's rise to power, but with the amazing visuals, it managed to captivate many big shots.

But that's not all... Just as the story was about Chu Ahe finally obtaining his cheat code and starting his path to revenge, music suddenly started playing.

The incredibly exciting sound effects, combined with the scene of the Ghost Emperor rising from an oppressed nobody to defeat all the villains who had bullied him, suddenly ignited the atmosphere in the audience!

Chu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded... Ma Liang... are you trying to pull off a fantasy blockbuster movie with me?

Backstage, Lu Chengqing was already in despair and ready to give up, but Ma Liang's sudden story, coupled with the performance of Fengdu Grand Formation, left him dumbfounded.

Lu Chengqing had never seen this kind of performance before, but seeing the audience below the stage looking tense as they listened to Ma Liang's story and performance, Lu Chengqing knew this was an opportunity.

So he didn't hesitate to have all the musicians join the performance.

Soon, something happened that Lu Chengqing hadn't expected.

The performance by the ghost and the musicians was absolutely terrible... but when the musicians worked with the ghost, it was a completely different story.

The ghosts are responsible for performing all sorts of exciting scenes, while the musicians can add various tense or super-exciting melodies at key moments, instantly elevating the immersive experience to a whole new level.

On stage, Chu Ahe, the incarnation of the Ghost Emperor, defied the heavens and rose to the top, slaying all those who had bullied him one by one. Coupled with the extremely exciting music, the whole story came alive and was incredibly rich.

"Finally... Chu Ahe has mastered the power to contend with the Supreme Being, and the day has come for him to reclaim his own Supreme Bone!"

The story reached its climax when Chu Ahe, played by the Ghost Emperor, raised his sword to challenge the heavens, accompanied by the sound effects of war drums and galloping horses, which excited the group of big shots.

But just then, Ma Liang spoke up, "To find out what happens next, please listen to the next chapter!"

On site. "???"

What the hell are you talking to me about?

What do you mean by "To find out what happens next, please listen to the next episode"? Don't you have any shame about blocking the plot like this?

But just as everyone was filled with indignation, they realized that the second half of the performance had ended quietly, and the one-hour show had come to an end.

But the big shots aren't happy about it. Um... could we end this after we get back the Supreme Bone? Is it polite of you to end it here?

Not to mention the guests, even Gu Mingchao looked at Ma Liang with a face full of question marks.

To be honest, this was the first time Gu Mingchao had ever seen this kind of performance. He had heard all sorts of high-end music and stories from various wonderful storytellers.

But he didn't see the scene with his own eyes.

Ma Liang's storytelling skills were only so-so today... but the visual imagery of the Fengdu Grand Formation was simply too overwhelming.

The lighting and sound effects are top-notch, which makes the story, which isn't particularly outstanding, incredibly exciting to watch thanks to the stunning visuals.

The other guests felt the same way.

When Ma Liang first went up to tell his story, many people's first reaction was, "What the hell is this?"

Has the Vast Heaven Sect botched their performance today? Isn't it a bit much for you to come up here and tell a story?

However, when the Ghost Emperor of the Fengdu Grand Formation personally performed it, everyone realized that with the blessing of Emperor-level illusion magic, one could truly be placed in a world within a story.

The addition of music from the Vast Heaven Sect's top musicians elevated the entire effect to a whole new level.

The guests, who had never seen such a performance before, were dumbfounded. They only spent the first half of the performance out of consideration for the Vast Heaven Sect; otherwise, they would have left long ago.

However, the second half of the game passed by in complete silence, and it even felt like that half an hour was too short.

When Ma Liang said, "To be continued," several hot-tempered bigwigs almost rushed onto the stage to threaten Ma Liang into continuing.

The story ends... The Fengdu Grand Formation returns to Ma Liang's hands, and all the music disappears.

But the way the story, visuals, and music were presented was unforgettable for everyone.

Chu Xinghe was also stunned at this moment... To be honest, the story was terrible... but with the blessing of the Fengdu Grand Formation and the musicians, he actually managed to get himself fired up while reading it...

Chu Xinghe was speechless... You just threw this fantasy epic at me out of the blue, Ma Liang, are you serious?

"Thank you, Senior Brother Xinghe, for providing this idea, which has opened up a whole new world for us." Ma Liang bowed in gratitude on stage. Only then did Ma Liang realize that what Senior Brother Xinghe meant by combining the vengeful ghost with the music was actually this.

It's not about making the vengeful ghosts match the music, but rather making the music match the vengeful ghosts' performance!

The ghosts are not musically inclined, so they can't possibly coordinate with the musicians. But the musicians are musically inclined. When the ghosts begin their performance, the top musicians of the Vast Heaven Sect become the accompaniment. They can coordinate with the ghosts' performance at any time, elevating the performance to a whole new level.

Senior Brother Xinghe had all the musicians wrapped up tightly, his purpose being to minimize their presence. Senior Brother Xinghe is indeed brilliant!

Lu Chengqing excitedly went on stage to hug Ma Liang... Actually, after the first half ended, Lu Chengqing thought his life was over, but he never expected that Ma Liang could turn the tide and put on such a performance.

Not to mention others, even Lu Chengqing was moved by the performance.

This story, this performance, coupled with the melodies of the Haotian Tower musicians, created an epic spectacle unlike anything ever seen before.

Senior Brother Ma Liang truly lives up to his reputation as Senior Brother Xinghe's most trusted confidant!

The Grand Elder smiled. In fact, when Ma Liang first stepped onto the stage, the Grand Elder had already begun to think about it. If things didn't work out, he should find an excuse to end today's performance.

Haven't we embarrassed ourselves enough today?

But Ma Liang's subsequent performances were a revelation to the Grand Elder; he was astonished that such a performance style was even possible!

I've never seen this before...

This is normal, though. Apart from Ma Liang's Fengdu Ten Thousand Ghosts Grand Formation, it's probably impossible for anyone to create such a grand spectacle with just a few gestures.

Xinghe previously mentioned combining the Fengdu Grand Formation with music; is this what he meant?

The scene was somewhat out of control. Ma Liang and Lu Chengqing led countless musicians on stage to bow in gratitude, while many bigwigs in the audience sighed and lamented.

They asked if the performance would continue tomorrow.

Well... we're still waiting to see how they get back the Supreme Bone...

Will Haotian Tower continue to offer performances like this in the future? We'd like to see more...

Whether other big shots were looking forward to it or not is unknown, but the people of the Star Moon Sect were completely dumbfounded.

Even now, Guo Qizhen's mind was still filled with images of reclaiming the Supreme Bone... Guo Qizhen even longed to know when the story of reclaiming the Supreme Bone could continue.

The problem is... is now the time to be thinking about this?

What happened to the Clear Vast Heaven Sect's performance being promised to be absolutely terrible?

It was absolutely awful... The first half was awful, but wasn't the second half a bit too explosive?

What happened to our agreement to play on the edge together?

Even if the musicians of the Vast Heaven Sect were to perform in custom-made costumes today, Guo Qizhen wouldn't be this flustered. But after this performance, Guo Qizhen was truly stunned. He knew very well how captivating this unprecedented performance style was. What hadn't these big shots seen before?

But look at how clueless they are, all asking when the next performance will be...

Guo Qizhen looked at Senior Brother Xinghe, and when he saw the calm expression on Senior Brother Xinghe's face, Guo Qizhen realized how terrifying Senior Brother Xinghe was. Not only was Senior Brother Xinghe so terrifying in martial arts, but he was also proficient in music and performance?

Chu Xinghe didn't see Guo Qizhen's gaze, nor did he know what Guo Qizhen was thinking.

But at this moment, Chu Xinghe wanted to say was, "What the hell do I know about music and performance...?"

I just wanted to show you some things from the underworld today... I just wanted to disgust you a little, but I really didn't expect Ma Liang to activate the Fengdu Grand Formation and do this without warning.

Ma Liang, oh Ma Liang... how could you face your sect?

That's our Fengdu Grand Formation... that's the Ghost Emperor...

Don't you have any shame? Doesn't the Ghost Emperor have any shame either?

You're asking the Ghost Emperor to play that role... Is that polite of you?

A pairing of a vengeful ghost and a musician is a performance from the underworld, but how could a musician paired with a vengeful ghost produce this effect?

This Fengdu Grand Formation isn't just for scaring people, it's also for performances... Ma Liang, what kind of nonsense is going on in your head?

And that story... wasn't that the kind of underdog-to-hero story I told you guys before to motivate you?

Are you trying to stage a loser's rise to power with me today, using your real name?

I asked you to set up the Fengdu Grand Formation for a performance to control the Northern Branch's pill production. Now the pill production has decreased, but what the hell does it mean that the Southern Branch's performance also exploded?

I wanted to put on a disgusting performance for everyone, to disgust them. Did I expect you to disgust me?

Are you trying to act out a fantasy epic with me Chu Ahe Bravely Seizes the Supreme Bone ?
