NOVEL NEXT Chapter 323: Concert Assassination
"Transforming Water into a Mirror, Transform Wood into a Spirit... Lin Beichen, are you actually an Immortal?"
Zhao Weinan gazed at Lin Beichen with adoration.
Although she had already witnessed Lin Beichen's wonders, she still felt a shock to her soul every time she saw him perform his Divine Techniques.
Even though Lin Beichen always denied it, he frequently felt an illusion that Lin Beichen was not a mortal but an Exiled Immortal descending from the heavens.
"Don't look at me like that, this is just a simple trick with Spiritual Qi, nothing much."
Lin Beichen said indifferently.
"These little tricks can only scare ordinary people."
Those who master the Spiritual Qi can naturally play with it and perform small wonders.
Zhao Weinan found it miraculous only because the Celestial Gate had just opened, and there were few people who had mastered Spiritual Qi.
Wait a while longer, once the talented cultivators have mastered the Celestial Gate's Spiritual Qi, Zhao Weinan will realize that these techniques are just child's play.
Zhao Weinan played with the Water Mirror, having fun.
Lin Beichen stood aside without disturbing her, his thoughts wandering far away.
Today's Dragon Sleep River had a great atmosphere, perfect for holding a music concert.
Qing Yinqi, the talent from Imperial Capital University, and a recent superstar in the music circle, had taken over various domestic and international charts in less than two years since her debut.
Besides music, she prospered due to her proximity to the Imperial Capital, abundant resources, and high fame. Within two or three years, she transformed multiple times, becoming a true all-around celebrity.
She shot films, took photos, had her variety show, and even launched her clothing brand.
To see her concert, regardless of the ticket price, whether you could buy one was the key.
Qing Yinqi was a hot topic; while Lin Beichen thought her musical talent was average, in the eyes of others, Qing Yinqi was an elf singer.
Every time Qing Yinqi held a concert, it triggered a ticket-buying frenzy.
As a student of the Imperial Capital Film and Television Academy, Zhao Weinan couldn't hide her envy and admiration when talking about Qing Yinqi.
Since the concert was near Zhongcheng Hall, instead of taking a special car, they walked like a couple, laughing and chatting as they reached the venue.
"The crowd is huge!"
Zhao Weinan looked at the throng of people and instinctively tightened her clothes.
The weather in the Imperial Capital had turned cooler, and Zhao Weinan, afraid of the cold, felt less sensitive to the temperature, perhaps due to becoming a Spiritual Energy Body.
Todays' Zhao Weinan wore a simple sweater, an outer casual jacket on the top, jeans on the bottom, and light yellow canvas shoes.
Anyone who saw her couldn't help but brighten up at the sight of a beautiful girl-next-door.
Even with Lin Beichen's magical disguise, Zhao Weinan's temperament and appearance still drew frequent attention.
Lin Beichen looked at the crowd, his brows furrowed.
In such a small venue, squeezing in over ten thousand people, even a slight disturbance could become an unpredictable threat.
People tend to follow the crowd.
And in chaos, panic and fear not only spread but amplify.
"Luckily, this place is enclosed. With my Withered and Flourishing Qi, sealing this place won't be difficult, it would just take a bit of Spiritual Power."
Lin Beichen contemplated, casually protecting Zhao Weinan, spreading his Withered and Flourishing Qi throughout the entire venue.
Before achieving the Golden Core, Lin Beichen could control Spiritual Qi but couldn't manipulate it entirely.
After the Golden Core transformation, Lin Beichen successfully developed the Withered and Flourishing Body, and his spirit power soared several times.
With his current ability, as long as he willed it, he could control any subtle change within.
Although the Imperial Capital is just a city, it houses millions of people.
Such a dense population on such a small plot of land generates countless data every second.
Lin Beichen had no interest in ordinary personal lives; if not for security concerns, he wouldn't be doing this.
With his perception fully expanded, the entire venue held no secrets from Lin Beichen's eyes.
"This should be the backstage; is the one being made up Qing Yinqi? The woman next to her who looks a lot like her should be her mom and manager."
"Hm? This fan is too extreme, sneaking backstage for a signature!"
Lin Beichen glanced at the backstage, amused.
What was happening backstage, he didn't plan to inform the program team or Qing Yinqi.
He considered the whole place out of moral obligation, not for Qing Yinqi's special care.
As long as it didn't affect his mood, even if Qing Yinqi was killed before his eyes, he wouldn't bother to care.
Lin Beichen withdrew his thoughts and expanded his perception to wider areas.
"Security teams and special squads are on standby; officials are here to maintain order… Wait! Why did the Ancient Clan send people too?"
Lin Beichen's brows suddenly tightened.
Under his perception, the cultivators' aura erupted like flames, the higher the cultivation, the more intense the fire.
Ordinary people are just dry wood, while peak cultivators like Qin Wenwu and Mr. Li Jiang are like sky-piercing fire columns, illuminating the entire night.
"Strange, it's just an ordinary concert, yet there are dozens of cultivators hidden here? Judging by their aura, they're mostly filled with bloodlust and killing intent, are they assassins?"
Lin Beichen pondered, looking towards the backstage again.
Among the backstage, Qing Yinqi's aura was ordinary, she was just a normal person.
