The Blood God Descends, Domains Collide
The venue, capable of accommodating sixty thousand people, was shaped like a semicircle, divided into three levels: front, middle, and back. At this moment, the seats were filled with excited spectators, all eagerly looking toward the stage.
In their hands, everyone held glowing sticks distributed for free at the entrance, and when waved, shimmering crystals fell from them like starlight, dazzling in appearance.
Behind the stage, Chen Chu slightly lifted the corner of the curtain, observing the sea of people outside with a calm gaze, pondering if there were any traitors among the audience.
"The lights are normal."
"The number three projector is fine."
"OK, the countdown begins, 10, 9, 8... Lights out!"
With the command from the main control console, the entire venue plunged into darkness, followed by the roar of a dragon.
Roar!
The vast venue burst into brilliant light as a hundred-meter-long golden-scaled dragon unfurled its wings, appearing high in the air, while sparks erupted like geysers around the edges of the stage.
Amidst the dazzling glow, the familiar introduction of a song resonated.
The wall at the end of the stage cracked open, revealing Yan Ruoyi in splendid attire as she slowly walked out, followed by a bodyguard in a black suit, who maintained a three-step distance.
At that moment, white mist began to seep out from gaps in the ground.
In an instant, golden light shone brilliantly, swirling clouds enveloped the area, and under the roar of the golden dragon, the young girl appeared like a divine dragon goddess stepping out from legend.
Through the eight large screens hanging in the venue, everyone witnessed this stunning moment, and the entire hall erupted in cheers as countless young men and women stood up in excitement.
"Ruoyi! Ruoyi!..."
The shouts of tens of thousands drowned out the sound system, creating a lively atmosphere.
This overwhelming attention stirred Chen Chu's blood, reminiscent of the countless mutated beasts that had surged forth on the night of the Blood Moon.
The same kind of deafening cheers made him want to grab a battle spear and smash everything... cough! What was I thinking?
Chen Chu shook his head, dismissing the strange thought that had suddenly surfaced.
The first song of the concert was a solo by Yan Ruoyi. As the 3D golden dragon in the air dissipated, a beam of light fell upon her, guiding her slowly down the steps toward the center of the stage.
As an internationally renowned star, Yan Ruoyi’s singing ability was exceptional. Her voice was clear and gentle, a pleasure to listen to, complemented by the poetic lyrics and lively rhythm.
Even Chen Chu couldn't help but praise how beautiful it sounded.
However, he soon furrowed his brow, realizing that not many eyes were on him, and those that did glance his way only swept over him briefly.
Under these circumstances, it was nearly impossible to spot potential hidden enemies.
Thinking of this, Chen Chu focused his gaze on Yan Ruoyi.
At this moment, Yan Ruoyi had reached the center of the stage, her figure swaying gently with the rhythm of the music, her long dress fluttering, exuding both beauty and charm.
Nearby, a camera hanging in the air captured this scene, moving to film her and projecting it onto the big screen.
But just as tens of thousands were mesmerized by the performance, a tall figure suddenly appeared—it was Chen Chu, the bodyguard standing behind Yan Ruoyi.
"What the heck is that guy doing?"
"Yeah, why is he blocking the camera like that?"
Though the young man in black attire and sunglasses looked cool and handsome on the big screen, the audience was there to see Yan Ruoyi.
Fortunately, as Yan Ruoyi moved, the camera followed, making the mysterious figure either a backup dancer or a genuine bodyguard disappear from the big screen.
The concert continued smoothly without any incidents.
On stage, the young girl sang passionately, her dancers moved gracefully, and below, the audience listened intently, though the bodyguard in sunglasses occasionally reappeared on the big screen, which was quite annoying.
