The scene fell into silence for a moment;
because everyone present seemed to realize that something was about to happen, even the proud Sofia began to smooth out the haughty curve of her lips.
The Man with Dou Qi's energy became further concentrated, not aimed at Su Bai, but intended for whoever might launch a surprise attack on him and his comrades;
the bear-like Black man's eyes were warily scanning around, not daring to be the slightest bit careless;
the Onmyoji held a fan in one hand, staring intently around him;
the Samurai and Ninja also heightened their vigilance at this moment.
The current silence felt more like the calm before the storm;
however, this prelude seemed a bit too prolonged.
The branch Su Bai had thrown into the sky had long since fallen, and over two minutes had passed - the "signal arrow" had been released, but the "thousand troops and ten thousand horses" had yet to appear.
