Most of these people were friends and acquaintances of the city lord, Li Yang; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to get in even if they had bribed their way in.
Although they claimed they were there to visit Li Yang, in reality, each of them harbored their own agenda, hoping to try their luck and see if they could get to know the two legendary star lords.
