67: Chapter 31 God’s Whip_2 67: Chapter 31 God’s Whip_2 Afterwards, Li Yelai chatted with Li Yunyan for a few more sentences before hanging up the phone.

He needed to rest and prepare, as he still had a shift to cover in a few hours.

Elsewhere, No.3 Border City buzzed with unusual excitement tonight.

The square in the South New District was packed solid with people.

Starfire, mingling in the crowd, pulled her younger sister Shadow Stream along, exerting great effort and even activating a Spiritual Barrier,

just to barely make it into the concert venue and find their seats.

“It really is bustling,” Starfire commented with a hint of annoyance, “I’ve never seen so many people before!”

Inside the concert alone there were tens of thousands of spectators, and there were even more outside, eagerly awaiting.

“This is Fantasy Band we’re talking about!” Shadow Stream, carefully dolled up, spoke up, “They’re the hottest band in recent years.

They started in Chuanshu Giant City, toured five Giant Cities, and finally made it to our No.3 Border City.

Naturally, it’s a big event.

Actually, many people don’t know this band, but this is still a rare spectacle.

Look at how many people have brought their whole families to watch.”

Following her sister’s pointed finger, Starfire indeed saw many families.

Men led their wives, with daughters perched on their shoulders.

They couldn’t get into the concert, but still, faces beaming with smiles, each family seemed perfectly content and happy.

Ordinary and yet blissful.

“We need to be even more careful with such a high density of people.

Any accident could lead to a massive loss of life,” Starfire reminded, glancing into the distance.

Not just the East City Branch, but other branches too had deployed numerous Processors to stay undercover in the crowd, in case of any incidents.

Meanwhile, backstage at the concert, that handsome man sat alone in the dressing room.

A shadow flitted by his side, and then, a beautiful woman suddenly appeared beside him.

The woman caressed the man’s cheek: “Everything’s ready, we can play the Song of Extinction at any time…

With this power, everyone who hears it will be affected to varying degrees.

How many people are in the venue?

Fifty thousand?

A hundred thousand?”

“Have you thought this through?

Once we play it, there’s no turning back.

And your status as a great celebrity, cultivated over the years, will vanish into smoke.

You’ll no longer be the star Qin Zhi, but a fugitive wanted by all the Giant Cities!

Those dangerous Ye Boshou will hunt you down deep into the wilderness!”

“At this point, why speak such foolish words?

Trading one identity for a chance—or perhaps multiple chances—to rise.

Is there any need to do the math?” Qin Zhi took the woman into his arms, caressing her skin, and said with a bland smile, “This will be our celebration for ascending!

We are both Ark Chosen Ones, why should we care about the lives of these mortals.

Plus, this ordeal might actually be a good thing for them.”

The woman also laughed softly and whispered in reply: “It’s confirmed, God’s Whip is ready.

Once it is lashed out, the King’s Banners being safeguarded by the branches of the Giant City will respond, each summoning the Undead Army that once whipped the entire world!”

“Whip the entire world?

Hahaha…” Qin Zhi laughed and shook his head, “Alone they are not enough to shake the Giant City, much less challenge the prestige of the Border Iron Guard, but…

those Taboo Items will probably not forgo this opportunity!

This way, the forces of the various branches can be tied up.

It’s enough on this end.”

“Come, let’s wait and see if the world’s sorrow can move the Mad King!” Qin Zhi left the dressing room, step by step, heading towards the stage.

The spotlight shone on him, and in an instant, cheers erupted from beneath the stage.

Countless fans were shouting his name.

Qin Zhi put a finger to his lips, motioning for silence.

His handsome features paired with a gentle expression made many female spectators scream.

But soon, the noise gradually subsided.

Qin Zhi picked up the microphone, glanced at the sea of spectators below the stage, and a smile appeared on his face.

“Thank you, everyone from No.3 Border City, for coming to my farewell performance…

It’s been so many years, and I truly hate to leave you,” his voice spread through the sound system.

“Farewell?” The audience was a bit stunned, not understanding why this big star would talk of farewell.

He was still so young and handsome.

“What’s he going to do?

Why hasn’t he told us about such a big event?” The other members of the band showed incredulity as well; evidently, they too were unaware of this.

“He’s leaving the scene with such popularity?

What kind of stunt is this?” While surprised, media personnel also immediately moved closer, trying to get firsthand information.

But facing countless queries, Qin Zhi offered no explanation, and instead continued to smile: “Please allow me to put a perfect period on my final performance.

One that the world will never forget!”

Then, as if nothing was amiss, he lightly raised his hand and the fervent accompaniment began to play.

He also picked up a guitar and strummed it vigorously, as if a passionate current was sweeping through the entire venue.

The whole scene seemed to forget all prior confusion and began to rock wildly.

“What’s he trying to do?” Starfire voiced his doubts, “Little sister, do you know?”

“No idea, retiring from the scene?

That doesn’t make sense…” Shadow Stream was also confused but suddenly clutched her head in pain.

Starfire was taken aback and reached out to steady his stumbling sister, asking, “What’s wrong with you?”

But then he heard words that chilled him to the core.

“Big brother…

My soul well is shaking…”

The soul well?

Was it going to…

warp?

Thinking of Ma Da’s death, a wave of intense fear flooded over Starfire instantly.
