I am Master Maoshan

"Brother Long, your help to us over the past ten days has been immense," Liu Yuan said emotionally, then raised his glass with Peng Cheng. "This glass is to you, to thank you for everything you've done for us."

However, Liu Jun looked troubled and hesitated before taking the wine glass.

"Brother Liu, Brother Peng, this wine is too intoxicating. I tend to talk nonsense and act crazy when I drink too much," Liu Jun pretended to decline.

They're both ancient foxes, why are they playing these ghost stories? How could he not know what these two are planning?

Upon hearing this, Peng Sheng laughed heartily and said, "Brother Long, you're too kind. You've helped us so much; this Catholic Temple is your home. What's wrong with being drunk and talking nonsense in your own home? Come, let's drink!"

As he spoke, he downed the "Eternal Sleep" wine in his glass in one gulp, seemingly to prove with his actions that the wine was safe and harmless.

However, Liu Jun was not moved by his enthusiasm and remained steadfast in her refusal.

In fact, the "Eternal Sleep" they presented wasn't pure fine wine; it had been secretly laced with a drug that would render someone incapacitated. Their goal was simple: to use this wine to make Liu Jun, in a state of mental instability, reveal the truth about the theft of the Heavenly Treasure Vault and whether he was truly the mysterious thief.

However, Liu Jun was not stupid. He had long since seen through the hidden secrets behind this banquet, which was undoubtedly a carefully planned trap.

But he had his own plans, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips, as if he was full of anticipation for the scene that was about to unfold.

"So, I'll just treat the Catholic Temple as my own home?" Liu Jun asked casually, his words carrying a hint of teasing and probing.

"Brother Long, just treat yourself like you're at home. It's okay if you get drunk and act crazy or talk nonsense. We'll back you up." Peng Cheng patted his chest and laughed heartily, a hint of cunning seemingly hidden in his smile.

Although Liu Yuan nodded in agreement, a barely perceptible unease was evident in his expression.

He frowned slightly, his gaze shifting between Liu Jun and Peng Cheng, pondering to himself, but he couldn't quite pinpoint the source of that inexplicable unease.

"Alright, Brother Liu, Brother Peng is so generous, then I, Liu Jun, will not refuse." After saying this, Liu Jun picked up the wine glass in front of him, which contained the strong liquor known as "Eternal Sleep".

This guy downed it in one gulp without hesitation; his refreshing manner was astonishing.

Seeing Liu Jun's straightforwardness, Liu Yuan and Peng Cheng exchanged a smile, their eyes sparkling with joy. They raised their glasses again, warmly inviting Liu Jun to drink with them, as if at this moment, all their suspicions and wariness had vanished.

Little did they know, they had secretly taken the antidote before the banquet even began, so the drug hidden in the wine would have no effect on them.

During the banquet, glasses clinked and laughter filled the air. However, beneath this seemingly harmonious atmosphere, undercurrents surged, and everyone harbored their own calculations and motives.

After drinking for about an hour, Liu Yuan and Vice Hall Master Peng Cheng sat at the table, both of them gradually showing signs of anxiety. The wine pot on the table was empty, but "Emperor Long Ao" remained clear-headed and showed no abnormality.

The pharmacist's earlier warning echoed in Liu Yuan's ears: the drug added to this wine would be so potent that even experts below the God King realm would have no chance of resisting its effects, and would lose their senses within half an hour at most.

However, more than an hour had passed, and the "Dragon Emperor" in front of them was still chatting and laughing as if he had not been affected at all.

Liu Yuan frowned, his gaze frequently sweeping over Peng Cheng, trying to find an answer from him. Peng Cheng also looked puzzled, gently shaking his head, clearly not understanding why the medicine had failed.

Just then, Liu Jun, who had been silent all along, suddenly moved. He threw the empty wine bottle in his hand to the ground with a loud "bang." Then, he stood up, put one foot on a stool, and looked intently at Liu Yuan and Peng Cheng.

"Brother Liu, Brother Peng, do you believe that I am the Heavenly Dao?" Liu Jun's words carried a hint of mockery, but more so a strange seriousness.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan and Peng Cheng were immediately taken aback. The Heavenly Dao? Is he drunk and starting to spout nonsense? This thought arose in both of their minds simultaneously.

However, Liu Jun seemed unconcerned by their reaction and continued, "You asked me, what is the most frequent manifestation of the Heavenly Dao?"

If you look closely at Liu Jun's eyes, you'll find that they have become deep and thoughtful, as if he is truly pondering a profound question.

Peng Sheng hesitated for a few seconds before tentatively answering, "Is it... a tribulation of lightning?"

His words carried a hint of uncertainty, after all, the Dao of Heaven was such a mysterious entity that few people could truly understand it.

“That’s right, lightning tribulation!” Liu Jun said with a smug smile.

He stretched out his finger and made a few gestures in the air, as if he were really controlling something.

"I can control the tribulation lightning, therefore I am the Heavenly Dao!"

Looking at 'Emperor Long Ao's' appearance, Liu Yuan and Peng Cheng felt both helpless and speechless.

Their original plan was to drug Liu Jun to make 'Emperor Long Ao' lose his mind, and then they would find out whether 'Emperor Long Ao' was responsible for the theft of the treasure vault.

Unexpectedly, the drug worked, but the person started going crazy and bragging. What the hell do we do now?

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. A guard rushed in and reported nervously, "Vice Hall Master, a large area of ​​thunderclouds has suddenly appeared outside, and it seems that a tribulation of lightning is about to descend!" Upon hearing this, Liu Yuan and Peng Cheng's expressions instantly turned serious.

"Haha, the tribulation of lightning has arrived! I am the Heavenly Dao! I am the Heavenly Dao!" Liu Jun laughed loudly, his laughter filled with madness and unruliness. With a flash, he instantly left the Hall of Affairs, leaving behind only a series of laughter echoing in the air.

Liu Yuan and Peng Cheng exchanged a glance, a hint of panic flashing in their eyes. They immediately recalled what 'Emperor Long Ao' had said before drinking; that warning now sounded like a curse to them.

"This is damn drunken madness!" The two men thought to themselves, "This is bad!" and quickly followed him out.

When they hurriedly chased after him out of the Deacon Hall, they saw that Liu Jun had already arrived in the sky above the Heavenly City.

This guy stood tall and straight, like a god who controlled the heavens and the earth. He gestured at the rolling thunderclouds in the sky, as if he was talking to the thunderclouds or giving them commands.

"I am the Heavenly Dao, all of you, heed my command! Chop!" Liu Jun pointed in a direction.

"Boom!" A thick thunder dragon seemed to obey his command, rushing down from the rolling thunderclouds with earth-shattering power, and slammed into a magnificent building.

The building could not withstand the bombardment of the thunder dragon and collapsed instantly, raising a cloud of dust and scattering debris, as if even the heavens and earth trembled.

"Huh? That looks like... my house." Peng Sheng looked at the collapsed building in the distance, his voice filled with disbelief.

“It doesn’t have to seem like it, it just is.” Liu Yuan sighed, his tone filled with helplessness and bitterness.

He gazed at the ruins, his heart filled with mixed emotions. He knew that more big trouble was about to unfold.

At this moment, Liu Jun seemed as if nothing had happened, still standing in the sky, looking up at the thunderclouds with a look of infatuation and fascination on his face.

The residents of the city were terrified by the sudden lightning strike and fled their homes in search of safe havens.

The entire city of Catholicism was thrown into chaos, and the source of all this was a drunkard.

"Stop him!" Liu Yuan noticed that "Dragon Emperor's" drunken finger was pointing at another building not far away, and he shouted loudly. Before he finished speaking, he was already like an arrow released from a bow, rushing towards the building that seemed to be becoming "Dragon Emperor".

Peng Cheng followed closely behind Liu Yuan, his eyes burning with rage, as if they could set the entire night sky ablaze.

The damned 'Dragon Emperor' pointed precisely to the location of his home.

His anger was about to erupt like a volcano; this was just too damn bullying!

First, the Four Realms God King Liu Jun's alchemy furnace exploded, unintentionally affecting his home and leaving it in ruins; now, this "Dragon Emperor" has lost control after drinking and has set his sights on his home again. What is his intention? Is his home so easy to bully that it has to be torn to pieces time and time again before he will stop?
If Peng Cheng knew at this moment that the "Dragon Emperor" in front of him was actually Liu Jun in disguise, the anger in his heart would probably instantly materialize and devour him, making him wish he could tear Liu Jun apart alive to vent his hatred.

"How dare you! You actually dare to offend the Heavenly Dao!" At this moment, Liu Jun, who was playing the role of "Emperor Long Ao", widened his eyes and glared at Liu Yuan and Peng Cheng who rushed over with feigned majesty, but he couldn't help but curl up a sly smile that was not easy to detect.

"Boom!" A deafening thunderclap suddenly resounded in the sky. Immediately afterwards, several lightning dragons swooped down from the clouds with earth-shattering force. They not only successfully blocked Liu Yuan and Peng Cheng's path, but also completely buried Peng Cheng's home in ruins in the blink of an eye.

Dust flew everywhere, and stones flew in all directions. The once warm and cozy home was now nothing but a mess, a truly pitiful sight.

"This is outrageous!" Peng Cheng's eyes widened in fury, and he was almost going mad.

He roared, his eyes bloodshot, his whole body trembling with rage. At that moment, his fury had reached its peak, as if the entire world was against him. He vowed to make those who had destroyed his home pay the price and be held accountable for their actions!

Watching this scene from afar, Liu Jun's eyes were filled with smug satisfaction. Damn it, trying to scheme against me? Then bring it on, let's hurt each other!

"Take it down with all your might!" Liu Yuan roared, and the pressure of the early stage of the Divine King Realm spread out like a tide, freezing the air within a hundred feet.

His palms shone with dazzling golden light, and two small, blazing suns condensed in his palms, charging towards Liu Jun once again with the force to scorch the heavens and boil the seas.

Seeing this, Peng Cheng did not hesitate and appeared to Liu Jun's left in a flash. He formed a hand seal, and nine jet-black chains appeared behind him. Each chain was engraved with ancient runes and made a teeth-grinding metallic scraping sound in the air.

The simultaneous attack of two God-King level experts caused the entire world to change color. The experts from the Heavenly Lord's Palace who were watching from afar retreated in droves, and those with weaker strength were even forced to cough up blood by the oppressive force.

Liu Jun stood motionless, a playful smile playing on his lips. He lightly patted his storage pouch at his waist, and hundreds of spirit stones, shimmering with various colors, flew in all directions like a shower of petals. The smallest of these spirit stones was the size of a fist, while the largest was comparable to an infant's head, their surfaces shimmering with dazzling brilliance.

"Heaven and earth were dark and yellow, the universe vast and boundless. The sun and moon waxed and waned, the stars and constellations were arrayed, and the battle formation began!"

As Liu Jun chanted, each spirit stone landed precisely in its designated spot. In an instant, a semi-transparent golden light curtain rose from the ground, completely enveloping Liu Jun.

The light screen displayed a pattern of celestial constellations, with the twenty-eight constellations lighting up in sequence, forming a perfect defensive system. (End of Chapter)
