Li Yao and his company slowly made their way down the steps, surrounded by the Silver Galaxy's players, who parted to create a path for them.
At this point, continued stalemate was meaningless. Earlier, they were shaken by the power of the cannons; there will be plenty of opportunity for revenge in the future. There was no need for a needless struggle now.
When the group reached the courtyard's center, Gu Cheng's eyes glimmered. He loudly said, "Look, they're right in the center of the courtyard. If we fire the cannons again, they might get blown up too. The cannons won't differentiate between friends and foes. Now is the perfect opportunity to take him down."
Li Yao stopped in his tracks, casually scanned the crowd, and said, "You're still not giving up. What, because I killed you twice? Is this really necessary? You can take your revenge anytime in the future. Why must we delay everyone's trip to the altar?"
