"Refusing to cooperate?"

Su Ye frowned. As far as he knew, the Eastern Continent Transcendents Gu Shen had brought were fairly strong, but heavy Source Energy weapons were still scarce... Even if the City of Light joined forces with them, they could only ensure the defense of one or two districts.
