Nie Li was really angry at how bad Shen Tian was making Glory City look like. Albeit, he knew that it was not home to the best people, but he did not believe that they were that mean and evil. "This still does not explain why the Scout Division has a better worth when compared to the other families who do similar works."
"I wanted to be friends with you, and I still do Nie Li, but you need to work on your ignorance. Glory City is much more corrupted and dark than what you are making it be." Shen Tian said as Nie Li retorted, "You are just too focused into that tiny shell of yours to see just how nice the people of Glory City are!"
"Is your brain made out of dirt or something?" Shen Tian had a deadpan expression on his face. "Excuse me?" Nie Li raised an eyebrow at the insult he had been just thrown upon. " The Scout Division opened lots of jobs for Fighters and Demon Spiritualists, it also made it much easier to navigate your way outside Glory City!"
"Then, since I can't pierce my way into your thick brain, I won't bother to continue talking to you. I have others who require my attention at this time." Shen Tian stated coldly as he brushed Nie Li's shoulder aside and walked further away from him towards Xiao Ning'er and Feng Hao and the rest."Wait!" Nie Li extended an arm but was unable to stop Shen Tian. He could only bite his lower lips and snort. " They are not that bad… Are they?"
He'd have to search this…

"Shen Tian." Xiao Ning'er embraced Shen Tian tightly, as tears freely left her eyes and made her cheeks gain a red color. She did not want to get separated from Shen Tian. Although the latter did not want to get separated either, he was not sure of the strength the other sects possessed so a clone should be enough to satisfy her sadness for now.
The portal had switched to the one connected to the Heavenly Note Sect, the one she, Ye Ziyun and Xiao Xue had to join. Despite time being less and less, Xiao Ning'er started to bury her face deeper and deeper into Shen Tian's embrace. For a moment, Shen Tian felt like demanding from all the Spiritual Gods to let her take her with him.
"It's all going to end up alright, Ning'er." Shen Tian put one of his hands behind her and started to use Spiritual Energy to calm her down. He patted her head before saying, "Go now, Ning'er. I believe in you, you can achieve what no one else has achieved in the Heavenly Note Sect." He smiled as he finished his sentence.
Xiao Ning'er nodded, now fully confident with herself, although Shen Tian noticed a certain dimmish of light inside her eyes."Ning'er, what is wrong?" Shen Tian asked her, earning a frown from her."I saw more memories from that other life, Shen Tian… Some were rather disturbing. In that other life, my face was disfigured."
"I was fighting and fighting and fighting… Without an end, until I meet Nie Li, I remember how I died in that one life, fighting together with him against someone, a person whose image is still vague despite me trying my hardest to sense the person behind that silhouette." Xiao Ning'er said with a bit of sadness.
"Do not dwell too much into your memories without being comfortable Ning'er." Shen Tian said calmly, "That's not good for your health and it's quite pointless for now at the very least." He continued, making Xiao Ning'er nod," I guess you are right, after all, I need to focus on growing my cultivation before the rest."
"Then goodbye Ning'er." Shen Tian waved his hand at Xiao Ning'er as she flew towards the portal up in the sky, joining Ye Ziyun and Xiao Xue. Now it was finally the turn of the people from Divine Feathers Sect to fly towards the portal. Nie Li passed a treasure to the Nether Master before flying towards it and was joined by Jian Yu and Jing Ye.
Li Kong looked at the people he had chosen, the Chaos Emperor, Shen Tian, and Feng Hao. " The portal will soon connect to the Abyssal Void Sect. I want you three to know that the Abyssal Void Sect is different from most other sects, we are a neutral sect, which does not affiliate with any other faction and we maintain a neutral relationship with the Sage Emperor himself."
"It is not connected to the so called rightous path which includes several sects like Sky Origin Sect, Skyblaze Sect, Divine Feathers Sect, Heavenly Note Sect, Phaseless Sect and the Thousand Flowers Sect. Those who are of the wicked or evil path usually are vassals of the Demon God Sect and some other sects. There are factions which are vast but also isolated. They prefer not to join such sides, for example, the Abyssal Void Sect is a neutral one!" Li Kong explained.
"An example of such lands beside the Abyssal Void Sect are the Ancestral Demonic Saint Land and the Ancestral God Land." Li Kong continued upon noticing that the three had absorbed all this new knowledge. Shen Tian knew who the Sage Emperor was, but the two did not have any knowledge of him, so they asked Li Kong about him.
Li Kong's eyes narrowed. " The Sage Emperor is an existence beyond those at the Martial Ancestor Realm, which you probably didn't know. The Martial Ancestor Realm is considered the pinnacle of cultivation in the Divine Continent, and few cultivators have exceeded it to reach the level of the Sage Emperor."
"He is also the only existence capable of deciding if you are alive or dead inside the Draconic Ruins Realm. You could even say he is the overlord and supreme cultivator of it. If he wants you dead, no one can stop him from killing you, thus most cultivators restrict the realm they can reach due to fear of him killing them."
