Aera City
Tang Shaoyang arrived in Aera City by himself. Ira and Khaya offered assistance, but he refused. As Li Shuang said, there was a chance this might be a trap. They would be a burden if it was truly a trap. Going alone was the best course of action since he could escape easily by himself.
He wore his comfort outfit. Long black pants, a black shirt, and a black coat with the Tang Empire's emblem on it. The pants looked like a comfort outfit, but they were actually made of material similar to leather. It provided basic protection. The same with his shirt and coat.
