"What kind of people are they, and where are they now?" Yang Mianmian asked.
"They... are in the crowd! The current fervor is too great, so they've hidden themselves. But compared to those who are discouraged, there are many, many of them, and they're basically all true elites! They may even be planning their response right now..."
Just as Yang Cheng said this!
Suddenly!
Boom!!
A massive explosion suddenly erupted from within the crowd, the sound ringing so violently that Yang Cheng's ears buzzed.
"A No-Return Arrow!" Yang Cheng cried out.
