When Ma Liang took the stage to tell his story, Chu Xinghe remained completely unfazed.

What haven't these big shots in the audience seen before? Can your story really move them, no matter how good it is?

Besides, Ma Liang's story was damn stuttered, clearly made up on the spot. How could you possibly turn this around?

Ma Liang's story was indeed terrible, but no matter how bad a story is, if the visuals are maxed out, the effect can still be explosive.

At this moment, Ma Liang's story was utterly rotten...

A guy born with his supreme bone dug out, constantly oppressed, shouting clichés like "I will defy the heavens and change my fate" and "Don't bully the poor youth"—what's there to watch in such melodramatic plots and lines?

But the problem was that the Ghost Emperor of the Feng City Formation personally performed, and top-notch illusions instantly transported everyone into that magnificent world. Everyone watched as this Ghost Emperor incarnate, Chu Ahe, grew bit by bit in adversity, with countless fierce ghosts playing various roles.

If you ask the fierce ghosts to coordinate with music, they're useless except for flying around. But if you let them play villains, they're natural-born antagonists.

Each fierce ghost didn't need much acting to vividly portray the various villains bullying the protagonist.

On stage, Ma Liang was responsible for storytelling, while the fierce ghosts handled the visuals. Despite being a very clichéd story of a loser making a comeback, the unbeatable visuals captivated many big shots.

And it wasn't over yet... Just as the story reached the point where Chu Ahe finally got his golden finger and began his comeback, music suddenly started playing.

The incredibly passionate sound effects matched the Ghost Emperor's rise from a bullied nobody, killing off all the villains who oppressed him. The scene inexplicably fired up the audience!

Chu Xinghe was dumbfounded... Ma Liang... are you turning this into a fantasy blockbuster?

Backstage, Lu Chengqing, who had been despairing and ready to give up, was also stunned by Ma Liang's sudden story and the Feng City Formation's Wan Ghosts performance.

Lu Chengqing had never seen such a form of performance either, but seeing the audience below tense and engrossed in Ma Liang's story and performance, he knew this was an opportunity.

So he unhesitatingly had all the musicians join the performance.

What happened next was beyond Lu Chengqing's expectations.

The fierce ghosts' coordination with the musicians was a mess... but when the musicians coordinated with the fierce ghosts, it was a completely different story.

The fierce ghosts were responsible for the passionate visuals, while the musicians could add tense or exhilarating music at key moments, instantly elevating the immersion to a whole new level.

On stage, the Ghost Emperor incarnate, Chu Ahe, defied the heavens, cutting down all those who had wronged him, accompanied by the most exhilarating music, making the story vividly full.

"Finally... Chu Ahe mastered the power to challenge the supreme and reached the day to reclaim his supreme bone!"

The story reached its climax, with the Ghost Emperor as Chu Ahe raising his blade to the sky, paired with the sound of clashing metal, exciting all the big shots.

But just then, Ma Liang spoke up: "To know what happens next, please tune in next time!"

The audience: "???"

What the hell are you saying?

What do you mean, "to know what happens next, please tune in next time"? Are you serious with this cliffhanger?

But just as everyone was outraged, they realized that the second half of the performance had quietly ended, and the one-hour show was over.

But the big shots weren't happy about it. Couldn't you at least finish reclaiming the supreme bone before ending? Is it polite to end here?

Even the guests were puzzled, and Gu Mingchao was left with a head full of questions, staring at Ma Liang.

To be honest, this was the first time Gu Mingchao had seen such a form of performance. He had heard all kinds of high-end music and captivating storytellers.

But he had never seen visuals like this.

Today, Ma Liang's storytelling was mediocre... but the visuals brought by the Feng City Formation were overwhelmingly spectacular.

The combination of light and sound effects was maxed out, making a not-so-great story thrilling with the perfect visuals.

The other guests felt the same way.

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

Did the Grand Sky Sect mess up today? Isn't it a bit much to just tell a story?

But when the Ghost Emperor of the Feng City Formation personally performed, everyone realized that with the emperor-level illusion, one could truly immerse themselves in a story.

And with the top musicians of the Grand Sky Sect joining in, the effect reached a whole new level.

The guests, who had never seen such a performance, were dumbfounded. They had stayed for the first half out of respect for the Grand Sky Sect, otherwise, they would have left long ago.

But the second half passed in silence, and they even felt that the half-hour was too short.

When Ma Liang said, "Please tune in next time," a few hot-tempered big shots almost rushed the stage to demand he continue.

The story ended... the Feng City Formation returned to Ma Liang's control, and all the music faded away.

But the performance style of combining story, visuals, and music left everyone unable to forget.

Chu Xinghe was also dumbfounded... to be honest, the story was terrible... but with the Feng City Formation and musicians' support, it still fired him up...

Chu Xinghe didn't know what to say... you turned this into a fantasy blockbuster without warning, Ma Liang, are you serious?

"Thanks to Senior Brother Xinghe for providing the idea, opening up a new perspective for us," Ma Liang bowed on stage in gratitude, finally realizing that what Senior Brother Xinghe meant by combining fierce ghosts and music was this.

It wasn't about having the fierce ghosts coordinate with the music, but having the music coordinate with the fierce ghosts' performance!

The fierce ghosts didn't understand music, so they couldn't possibly coordinate with the musicians, but the musicians understood music. When the fierce ghosts began performing, the top musicians of the Grand Sky Sect became the soundtrack, able to coordinate with the ghosts' performance at any time, elevating the show to a new level.

And Senior Brother Xinghe had all the musicians wrapped up tightly to lower their presence, proving his brilliance!

Lu Chengqing excitedly went on stage to hug Ma Liang... actually, after the first half, Lu Chengqing thought his life was over, but he never expected Ma Liang to turn the situation around with such a performance.

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

Such a story, such a performance, combined with the musicians of the Grand Sky Tower, created an unprecedented epic show.

Senior Brother Ma Liang truly lived up to being called Senior Brother Xinghe's number one confidant!

The Great Elder smiled, actually considering ending the performance early when Ma Liang first took the stage. Haven't we embarrassed ourselves enough today?

But Ma Liang's subsequent performance was a breath of fresh air, revealing a new form of performance.

Never seen anything like it before...

But that's normal, aside from Ma Liang's Feng City Ten Thousand Ghost Formation, probably no one else could create such a grand scene with a wave of their hand.

Was this what Xinghe meant by combining the Feng City Formation with music?

The scene was somewhat out of control, with Ma Liang and Lu Chengqing leading countless musicians in bowing on stage, while the big shots below sighed.

And asked if the performance would continue tomorrow?

We still want to see the reclaiming of the supreme bone...

And will the Grand Sky Tower offer such performances in the future? We want to keep watching...

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

Guo Qizhen's mind was still filled with the scene of reclaiming the supreme bone... he even wanted to know when the story of reclaiming the supreme bone would continue.

But the problem is... is this really the time to think about that?

Didn't they say the Grand Sky Sect's performance was terrible?

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

Didn't they say we'd all play it safe together?

Even if the Grand Sky Sect's musicians had performed some custom outfits today, Guo Qizhen wouldn't have been so flustered, but after this performance, Guo Qizhen was truly numb. He knew how captivating such a never-before-seen performance style was. What haven't these big shots seen?

But look at them, all asking when the next performance will be, looking like they've never seen anything like it...

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

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

But at this moment, Chu Xinghe just wanted to say, I don't know a damn thing about music and performance...

I just wanted you to see something eerie... I just wanted to disgust you a bit, but damn it, Ma Liang turned on the Feng City Formation and did this, which I really didn't expect.

Ma Liang, Ma Liang... are you being fair to the sect?

That's our Feng City Formation... that's the Ghost Emperor...

You have no shame, but does the Ghost Emperor have no shame?

You let the Ghost Emperor play that role... is that polite?

Fierce ghosts paired with musicians is an eerie performance, but damn it, musicians paired with fierce ghosts can have this effect?

The Feng City Formation isn't just for scaring people, it can be used for performances too... Ma Liang, what's going on in your head?

And that story... wasn't that the loser comeback story I told to motivate you before?

You're really putting on a live-action loser comeback today?

I asked you to use the Feng City Formation for performances to control the Northern Branch's pill production. Now the pill production is down, but the Southern Branch's performance exploded, what's that supposed to mean?

I wanted to show everyone a disgusting performance, to disgust them, but did I ask you to disgust me?

You're putting on a fantasy blockbuster of Chu Ahe's brave reclaiming of the supreme bone here?
