Luqian Sha and Luqian Mo. He let Nie Li and his group deal with the two, while he dealt with some minor help, only watching from the corner, occasionally sending a few blasts of Heavenly Energy at the two, but even that alone was an enormous problem to the two, because they had to deal with so many people.
Both Luqian Sha and Luqian Mo, were pinnacle Legend Rank experts, but in front of Nie Li who was a peak Legend Rank Demon Spiritualist, almost at the same rank, they were struggling quite a lot. Shen Tian did not do much, as stated before, but just his random attacks made the battle way more difficult.
Upon noticing that they were losing, both of them returned to their demonic beast form, where they could fight with a hundred percent of their strength. Nie Li used Draconic Bombs on the two, who did not expect the full power behind them, and were heavily wounded due to underestimating them.
It did not take long for both Luqian Sha and Luqian Mo to be defeated and killed. It also did not take that long for them to reach the Nether Realm, and enter the Nine Layered Deathlands. Nie Li started to walk towards the Jade Seal Family, together with his people, Shen Tian finally removed the people from his Kamui Dimension.
He received several shocked looks from Nie Li and the others, who knew that he had come alone here, and were very shocked to see that suddenly Xiao Ning'er and the other companions of his had appeared next to him. The Chaos Emperor was surprised, this was the first time he had witnessed his Kamui Dimension.
Everyone's goal was to reach at least the seventh layer of the Nine Layered Deathlands, after the sixth layer, at the seventh layer and above it was the Nether Master's private domain, where he created the rules, he could do practically whatever he wanted while there. Shen Tian took his friends and went to the first layer of the deathlands, to see if there was anything worth their time.
They did not see Nie Li's group, but they did enter the same Fog of Misleading, unlike Nie Li who chose to just go forward, Shen Tian looked at the fog, before unleashing a massive amount of pressure upon it, forcing it to disperse, revealing the first layer of the Nine Layered Deathlands to them.
Passing through, they saw several groups, but they were not scared at the least, instead they all released an intimidating aura, because they knew their strength was superior to the other group's. The weakest in their group was a pinnacle Legend Rank, that being Jing Ye, while the rest had already broken through to the Demigod Rank!
They stopped at a lake, and they also saw Nie Li's group. It seems there was a treasure inside this lake. Shen Tian was not that interested, he had the Dual Blades of Divine Ice and Fire and the Thunder God's Meteorite Sword, both could serve him for a long time. He did not lack demon Spirits either, he had a lot of them.
Astonishingly, a Zombie Jiao Dragon rushed out of the lake, covered in black scales, it was extremely enormous, and had an intimidating feeling. Shen Tian used his Heavenly Energy to cover both him and his friends, as for Nie Li, he could take care of himself alone. It also had a crimson pearl on his forehead.
Cang Ming, the strongest young man of the generation, fought the Zombie Jiao Dragon, dealing several attacks to it, it could be seen that the dragon had yet to reach the Demigod Rank through it. Otherwise the Zombie Jiao Dragon would have already killed all the people attacking it right now.
Shen Tian made the barrier move forward, allowing the group to get closer to the Zombie Jiao Dragon. Nie Li also did the same, but he froze upon seeing the Wugui Family's group, Shen Tian sent a look towards them and his lips curled, Ye Han was among the group of the Wugui Family's people. They confronted each other.
Xiao Ning'er pulled his sleeve,"Shen Tian… We need to go help Nie Li, I don't think he can defeat the entire group of the Wugui Family alone, we are friends with each other. We should help each other then!" Shen Tian shook his head,"You are underestimating Nie Li way too much Ning'er."
Xiao Ning'er sighed, Feng Hao merely continued to look at the scene, while the Chaos Emperor was bored. Jian Yu and Jing Ye had gone out, to explore and see if they could find anything in the first layer of the Nine Layered Deathlands. Just as Shen Tian had predicted, the Wugui Family struggled against Nie Li's group.
Shen Tian instead stared at the Zombie Jiao Dragon, he had heard of it in some notes in the Ancient Orchid City Ruins, but none of them described such dragons having a jewel on their forehead, and this definitely was a bit more large than normal Zombie Jiao Dragons of the same cultivation rank.
It did not take long for Nie Li's group to completely exterminate the Wugui Family's group, by that time Jian Yu and Jing Ye had both returned to the main group. Only two people remained from the group, that being Ye Han and Wu Yu, both in a very bad shape, a single push could probably kill them.
Nie Li looked at Ye Han, not sure what to do with him, conflict entered his eyes, while he wanted to kill him, Ye Ziyun wanted to send him to prison, where Ye Zong and Ye Mo could interrogate him, however that moment of hesitation cost him, as Ye Han dashed away, trying to run away. Suddenly a single curved blade pierced Ye Han's head, going through it.
"Shen Tian?!" Nie Li shouted in surprise, looking at the cold expression Shen Tian had on his face," I was given a mission to kill Ye Han, I hope you guys won't blame me for it. The City Lord himself ordered me to do it, seeing you hesitate made me act." Shen Tian responded to Nie Li extremely quickly.
"He had Venom Sting Wasps on him, although with your cultivation it wouldn't kill you, it would catch you off guard, giving him enough time to escape… Again. I'm sure neither of us want something like that, am I right?" Shen Tian said as he burned Ye Han's corpse to ashes, and then to nothing.

The following chapters are a bit slow, I was trying to find a comfortable style to write this arc.
