Shen Xian frowned,"So the Underground City, is divided between nine factions, each being a separate organization ,with a different system, and you are from the Black Lion Family?" He asked the two men in front of him.
Chen Bao and Zhan Zheng rolled their eyes at the same time, they had been doing this thing so many times recently, it all started with them meeting this person in front of them,"Yeah?!" They said at the same time.
Chen Bao yawned,"I don't really want to tell a lot to an outsider like you, but you are going to join the Black Lion Family anyway, our family has over seven Legend Rank Cultivators, and 3 Demigods!" He smirked proudly.
Shen Xian sighed,"It seems I will have to join your family, the Black Lion Family, at least temporarily, I will not stop trying to find a way to leave this place! I have people waiting for me!" He stubbornly said.
Zhan Zheng chuckled,"I'm sure our high ranking people would be interested in meeting you! I mean you are a Legend Rank Demon Spiritualist, with your power you can definitely rank up high in our family."
Shen Xian frowned again,"My only wish is to reunite with my son… After that, I just want to live a life of peace and happiness." He said, Zhan Zheng and Chen Bao chuckled,"We will see about that, Mister Xian."

Shen Tian took a deep breath, he,Xiao Ning'er and Feng Hao were using dark cloaks to cover their appearance, they had entered the Underground City, and noticed that the people here did not look much different when compared to them.
They had found out that there were nine major factions in the city: Black Lion Family, White Tiger Family,Blacksmith Pavillion,Fighter Guild,Great Blood Cave,Alchemy Guild, Beast Sanctuary, Devil Seeking School and the strongest of the nine faction the City Lord's Villa, which silently overlooked the other factions.
The two families, the White Tiger and Black Lion Families, were tightly connected to each other, since each other faction wanted to destroy each other, union of the two made it possible for them to stay in the apex.
The Underground City, while being very chaotic and divided, had an absolute leader in the City Lord's Villa, which no powerhouse dared to defy, since his power was undefeatable, that was a fact among all of them.
Shen Tian was currently staying together with Xiao Ning'er and Feng Hao, in this Inn called the Crescent Moon Inn, they luckily used copper and silver coins as their currency, and Shen Tian knew of that, so he took a ton of copper and silver.
It was not that filled with people, Inns here did not have much job, the Underground City, as everyone called it like that, had a higher population than that of Glory City, which had a population of five million, while the Underground City had over fifteen million people.
Obviously, the difference in population was quite clear, the reason to that was due to the fact Glory City was created as a shelter for the remaining population of humanity, only about a hundred thousand people.
The Underground City had practically always had the same population, in the Age of Darkness, their death count was below four digits, and with time the population had increased crazily, but it was not surprising.
Shen Tian took a deep breath, he was considering joining one of those families, since it would guarantee him a place among the factions of the city, but at the same time he was being intrigued by the idea of creating his own faction.
Xiao Ning'er had changed to some less revealing clothes, since they were in a city, and wore a cloak over her clothes, Feng Hao was doing the same, but since they were inside their room, they did not have to worry about their identity, they took the largest room, which had three beds.
Shen Tian had offered to also get another room, just for her, but she refused, since it would cost more money, and there was no need to do it, she felt more comfortable and safe with the two, there was always a chance an assassin could try to kill them, if she/he had chased them to here.
"I will leave the Crescent Moon Inn tomorrow, and look around the city for some information, you two should stay here and cultivate, it's more safe for you, and I can protect myself better." Shen Tian said.
Xiao Ning'er put her hands at Shen Tian's cheeks and looked at her,"Are you sure, please don't put yourself on danger...Please, I don't want to lose you." She softly said, not meeting Shen Tian's eyes.
Shen Tian chuckled,"Don't worry, the people who can even injure me are very low in number, I don't think I will meet one of them randomly in this city." Feng Hao smirked,"There is an one in a million chance of that ever happening."
"Just be safe." Xiao Ning'er said as she released Shen Tian's face,"Until then, we can talk about some issues, and also cultivate. I might be able to point out a few issues in your cultivation technique." Shen Tian smiled.
Xiao Ning'er and Feng Hao nodded,"Please do so!"

Shen Xian took a deep breath, the Black Lion Family was larger than the Glory City just alone, with several Legend Rank Demon Spiritualists, it could easily destroy the entire city, and level it down.
He was not sure in what kind of stuff he was including himself in, but his goal or objective was very clear, he wanted to return to his son, even if it was just for one last time, he was his only relative.
He did not consider Shen Hong as his brother anymore, the respect he had for him had disappeared years ago, Shen Xiu, he did love his sister dearly, but it seems she did not return the same love to her.
His father and mother had died years ago,his wife died recently after giving birth to Shen Tian, all that was left was his son, Shen Tian! He'd give up his life for his boy to continue living in this world.
He was still wondering, what was his son doing right now? With his talent, an Indigo Grade Soul Realm, he probably had already entered the Silver Rank, and was inside the Holy Orchid Institute, he softly smiled.
