Chapter 88 Ma Hongjun's Tragic Death! Gu Changsheng's Heavenly Emperor Prestige, Humanity's Rise!
The Heavenly Birthday Banquet has ended.
But the storm it brings has only just begun.
As the various forces departed, the legend of this birthday banquet spread throughout the entire world of Shrouding the Heavens at an alarming speed.
"Have you heard? The Heavenly Emperor suppressed two people from the forbidden zones with a single palm strike!"
"What's that? The Heavenly Emperor is still going to attack the Myriad Dragon Nest!"
"Really? Isn't that suicide?"
"Going to your death? You didn't see it. Even the Heavenly Emperor's disciple could kill Li Teng, who possessed the Great Emperor's inheritance, with a single sword strike!"
"Too powerful! Humanity is destined for greatness!"
The entire cultivation world was in an uproar.
Humanity was elated, while other races were terrified.
The prestige of the Heavenly Court reached its peak at this moment.
...
At this time.
Behind the Heavenly Court, in the Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts.
This place is home to countless rare birds and animals, and its spiritual energy is so rich it's almost palpable.
A seductive figure was patrolling the garden.
That was Yue Guan.
Yue Douluo of Spirit Hall.
Although they couldn't see the sky, they didn't know what was happening on Douluo Continent's side.
But Yue Guan is a smart man.
He was lucky; he was recruited by the Heavenly Court as soon as he transmigrated and became a servant in charge of guarding the Garden of Ten Thousand Beasts.
Although he was just an animal keeper.
But in a place like the Heavenly Court, even a little bit of soup or water is a million times better than being a Title Douluo in Douluo Continent.
"Tsk tsk tsk."
"That's just fate."
Yue Guan stroked a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb, his face full of emotion.
"Following His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor is the right path."
"As long as I serve these divine beasts well and they reward me with whatever they want, breaking through to level 100 and becoming a god will be a piece of cake for me."
He hummed a little tune, in a very good mood.
Just then.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the bushes ahead.
"Who?!"
Yue Guan's eyes sharpened, and a giant, rare chrysanthemum appeared in his hand.
Although this martial soul is somewhat lacking in the world of Shrouding the Heavens, it is still sufficient to deal with ordinary petty thieves.
He carefully parted the bushes.
But then he saw two furtive figures.
A tall man with long, flowing blond hair.
One was obese and had a lewd look on his face.
It was Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun!
"Oh?"
"Isn't that the Evil-Eyed White Tiger and the Evil Fire Phoenix?"
Yue Guan paused for a moment, then withdrew his martial soul and a playful smile appeared on his face.
"What a coincidence?"
"It's like we're from the same hometown meeting again."
Dai Mubai and Ma Hongjun were also startled.
After they transmigrated, they didn't fare well.
Because they are too weak.
Taking advantage of the relaxed guard after the birthday banquet, the two decided to sneak into the Beast Garden to steal some spiritual fruits.
Unexpectedly, they ran into Yue Guan.
"Yue... Yue Douluo?"
Ma Hongjun was so frightened that his whole body trembled.
Dai Mubai was also pale and instinctively wanted to back away.
In Douluo Continent, they are mortal enemies!
Yue Guan shook his head as he looked at the two of them in their disheveled state.
"Alright, don't be afraid."
"It's not easy to run into an old friend in this godforsaken place."
"I'm too lazy to make things difficult for you."
"Get out of here! If the patrolling heavenly soldiers find you, even ten heads won't be enough to chop you off."
Yue Guan waved his hand, as if shooing away flies.
He is a member of the Heavenly Court now, his standards have risen, and he's too lazy to bother with these two down-on-their-luck kids.
Upon hearing this, Dai Mubai felt as if he had been granted a pardon and pulled Ma Hongjun to leave.
"Thank you so much, senior! Thank you so much, senior!"
However.
Ma Hongjun suddenly stopped in his tracks.
His tiny, beady eyes darted around and landed on Yue Guan, revealing a greedy glint in them.
"Um... Senior Yue."
Ma Hongjun rubbed his hands together and moved closer.
"You're doing quite well these days. I bet all your gear is some kind of secret weapon, isn't it?"
"You see, we're both from Douluo Continent, could we..."
"Can you share some of the benefits with us?"
"Or perhaps you could get us a few cultivation techniques used by the Heavenly Emperor?"
At this point, Ma Hongjun lowered his voice and said with a lewd expression:
"I think there are quite a few treasures in this garden."
"Senior, you're in charge, so no one will know if you just take a little."
"How about we cooperate..."
"If you help us steal some treasures from the Heavenly Court, we'll never forget your kindness if we make a fortune here!"
Dai Mubai's expression changed drastically, and he tried to cover the fat man's mouth, but it was too late.
Yue Guan's smile froze on his face.
Douluo Continent, before the celestial curtain.
Countless people were stunned by what they saw.
"This fat guy... does he have a death wish?"
"Send Yue Douluo to steal the Heavenly Emperor's things?"
Is his brain filled with shit?
Flander wished he could disappear into a crack in the ground.
What kind of garbage are these people teaching?!
They've made a fool of themselves even in another world!
In the picture.
Yue Guan slowly turned his head and looked at Ma Hongjun, who had an expectant look on his face.
His eyes changed.
It was no longer the playful banter from before.
Instead, it was a chilling, bone-chilling killing intent.
"Let me..."
"Steal His Majesty's things?"
Yue Guan's voice was very soft, yet it seemed to freeze the surrounding air.
Who do you think you are?
"You dare to ask me to betray the Heavenly Emperor?"
Boom!
Although not as powerful as the natives of the Heaven-Covering Realm, a pressure that felt like a mountain to Ma Hongjun at this moment erupted from Yue Guan.
"I originally intended to spare your lives."
"Since you're courting death."
"Then let's keep it as fertilizer!"
The smile on Yue Guan's face vanished completely.
The surrounding temperature suddenly dropped.
"Steal?"
Yue Guan repeated the word softly.
He took a step forward, his shoes rustling softly on the fallen leaves.
The sound was particularly jarring in the deathly silent Beast Garden, like the footsteps of death itself.
"Fatty, do you know what kind of life I'm living right now?"
Yue Guan tilted his head slightly, looking at Ma Hongjun, whose face was full of fat and trembling.
"In this Heavenly Court, I breathe in spiritual energy every day and eat spiritual fruits that contain Daoist principles. Even if I am just a gatekeeper, I am still guarding the gate for the current emperor."
Am I crazy or stupid?
"Why would I abandon the right path to heaven and collude with a fool like you who doesn't know his own mortality?"
Startled by the sudden murderous aura, Ma Hongjun sat down on the ground with a thud.
He was just blinded by greed. When he saw that Yue Guan was also from Douluo Continent, he subconsciously thought that the other party would remember their past relationship, and even thought that anyone could be bribed as long as the benefits were enough.
But he forgot.
This is the land of the heavens.
This is a world of cultivation where the strong prey on the weak and a strict hierarchy prevails.
"S-senior..."
Ma Hongjun's voice trembled, and his upper and lower teeth chattered incessantly.
"I... I was just kidding..."
"Really, I just have a sharp tongue, please don't take it seriously..."
As he spoke, he moved backward using both his hands and feet.
Those beady green eyes were filled with terror.
He could sense that Yue Guan truly wanted to kill him.
That tangible killing intent was like a pair of invisible hands, tightly gripping his neck and making it hard for him to breathe.
Dai Mubai, standing to the side, was terrified.
He wanted to plead for mercy, but it felt like his throat was blocked with lead, and he couldn't make a sound.
Yue Guan didn't even glance at Dai Mubai.
His gaze remained fixed on Ma Hongjun, his eyes filled with disgust and contempt.
"Greedy and insatiable."
"Act recklessly."
"How dare you covet what belongs to His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor?"
