Tang Shaoyang's domain covered the whole city, sharpening his perception. He could sense anything that moved in the city, whether they were cultivators or civilians.
Radiant Blossom City was a big city with a high population. He estimated more than twenty thousand people, including the cultivators and the civilians in total, maybe even more than that. Yet the Murim Alliance chose to sacrifice them just to contain him with the Heaven Founder and the Demonic Faction.
Tang Shaoyang didn't like getting the innocents dragged into his battle, or even dying because of the impact of his battle. However, he was not going to put himself at a disadvantage just to avoid it.
He could try to break the formation and bring the battle somewhere else, but that would put him in a more vulnerable position against Alderman Fiodor. He was facing a former Executive Administrator, after all. A little opening might be fatal for him, especially when he had no information about Alderman.
