"Yinyin, I'm so sorry. I thought I could help you sort out the venue, but instead... I only made things worse."
Serena looked apologetic.
"James is an operations captain with the Gotham City Police Inspectorate. He and I have never gotten along. Now that he's involved, I'm afraid we really can't use the venue."
Xu Zining sighed.
"Serena, this isn't your fault. That captain said it himself: the order came from the Warlord. He's just following procedure..."
But the concert was only days away, and now their venue had been canceled. What were they supposed to tell the people who had already bought tickets?
Those fans had bought tickets to support Xu Yinyin.
And the concert served an even deeper purpose.
It was meant to help Xu Yinyin gather the strength to break through to the Seventh Heaven of Chaofan.
It was also meant to draw out the Phantom Sound King of the Demon Realm, who was hiding in the shadows.
"I'll see if I can find another venue... Is there anywhere outside Gotham City we could use?"

"Zining, don't forget we're Transcendent Martial Artists. It's just a concert venue and some seats. Leave it to me!"
Three days later.
Everyone arrived at Serena's
