Hall of Souls Continental Branch

Southeast Continent, Soulfall Mountain Range.

The Soulfall Mountain Range is located in the Northwest region of the Southeast Continent. Due to its terrain, the area is filled with extremely heavy Yin energy, which is mixed with a strong special energy that can block perception.

Staying in such an environment for too long can easily damage one's soul, causing it to be eroded by yin energy. Therefore, it is generally difficult to find anyone here, and no one would be willing to stay in such a ghostly place.

"Call out!"

Suddenly, the silent sky of the Soulfall Mountain Range was broken by the sound of wind breaking. A flash of light appeared, and a beautiful figure emerged from a mountain peak deep within the mountains.

Her gaze was fixed on the deepest part of the mountains, the space hidden behind tall gray trees, where a slight distortion was faintly visible.

"According to Xiao Ming, the Hall of Souls Headquarters in the Southeast Continent is located deep within the Soulfall Mountain Range. However, Space Barrier has been set up there, and anyone who enters will be detected. It seems that we still have no choice but to take direct action."

Xiao Yi Xian murmured to herself that after Xiao Ming left the Pill Realm, she and Qing Lin entered a state of seclusion. Seven months later, they absorbed most of the Dou Sheng Gel and reached the Advanced Ban Sheng. They then emerged from Qing Lin together.

After meeting with Venerable Tian Huo, she and Qing Lin split up; Qing Lin went to the Northeast Continent, while she went to the Southeast.

"With my current strength, the Woeful Poison Qi I release would likely kill even Hall of Souls expert of a lower cultivation level within an instant. But to be on the safe side, let's seal it off."

Looking at the Space Barrier, Xiao Yi Xian lightly waved her sleeve, and the space of this world quietly rippled, eventually transforming into an even larger Space Barrier that completely enveloped that region.

Within the slightly distorted space lay a vast expanse of blood-red land, where occasional pools of blood gurgled incessantly, exuding an eerie and chilling aura.

At the heart of this vast region, a colossal black palace stood silently, like an Ancient Times Ferocious Beast crouching on the ground. A sinister and terrifying aura slowly permeated the sealed space.

Within the colossal black palace, countless extremely thick black chains extended out and plunged deep into the ground. On each of these chains, a wisp of black mist swirled, vaguely coalescing into a human shape. The chains would occasionally shimmer with light before disappearing into the black mist, making it even more solid.

The entire area was unusually quiet, with an eerie atmosphere that sent chills down one's spine.

"Whoosh!"

The silence lasted for an unknown period of time. Suddenly, more than a dozen wisps of black mist rose from the chains. The mist contracted, transforming into more than a dozen indifferent figures. These figures exchanged glances, then moved swiftly and converged together.

"Let's go, it's our turn to carry out the mission. I don't know why, but the targets from above have been getting higher and higher these past two years. Hopefully, we can bring back enough souls this time, otherwise we'll be punished again." Among these people, a figure who seemed to be the leader said in a hoarse voice.

"Heh heh, Old Monster Huang and his gang massacred several cities a while ago. They not only brought back enough souls, but also received a great reward from the Heavenly Venerable. This time, let's also massacre a few cities. Anyway, with our strength, it's more than enough to massacre a few cities..." one of them said with a sinister laugh.

The strength of the Southeast Continent is about the same as that of the Northwest Continent. Let alone Dou Zun, even Dou Zong is rare.

"Yes, remember, don't leave any survivors."

The leader smiled sinisterly, nodded slowly, and waved his hand. A dozen figures transformed into a cloud of black mist and sped away like lightning towards the outside of this space.

"Bang!"

However, just as the group of black mists was about to break through the Space Barrier, the space around them suddenly solidified and then collapsed violently. The dozen or so figures were squeezed into nothingness by the terrifying spatial force before they could even scream.

"Laugh!"

As the group of figures vanished, the Space Barrier slowly cracked open, revealing a large opening. Xiao Yi Xian walked out slowly, her feet landing on the blood-red earth.

"Waaah!"

As soon as Xiao Yi Xian stepped into the Space Barrier, a mournful wail echoed from the giant hall. Immediately afterward, sinister gazes shot out from within the black mist on the chains, fixed on Xiao Yi Xian.

"How dare you trespass on the territory of my Hall of Souls! You're courting death!"

A series of eerie shouts suddenly shattered the silence of the space. Many figures rose from the chains and, without waiting for any orders, transformed into black light, bringing with them a sinister wind, and swept towards Xiao Yi Xian.

Seeing this, Xiao Yi Xian didn't waste any words. She raised her arm, and gray mist surged from her body. Any black shadows that came within ten feet of the mist would turn into nothingness in less than three breaths. Some of the weaker ones didn't even have time to scream.

As the gray mist thickened, the dark figure that had been rushing in from behind finally stopped in shock. They then realized that this person had not come to die, but had come prepared!

"You insolent wretch! How dare you run wild in my Hall of Souls! You're asking for it! Celestial Heavenly Venerable, seize him!"

As the gray fog filled the sky, a furious shout suddenly rang out from the giant hall. Immediately, more than a dozen figures shot out of the hall like lightning, finally hovering in the sky, their sinister gazes fixed on Xiao Yi Xian behind the gray fog.

Xiao Yi Xian didn't reply. Instead, she crossed the hundreds of feet of poisonous fog and appeared in mid-air. She clenched her fist towards the group of Heavenly Venerate of Hall of Souls, and the space instantly froze. Then, she clenched her fist tightly.

"Bang!"

As Xiao Yi Xian clenched her fist, the bodies of the dozen or so Heavenly Venerate of Hall of Souls instantly exploded into clumps of blood plasma. Even their souls were shattered by the terrifying spatial compression.

With Xiao Yi Xian's current strength as an Advanced Ban Sheng, those mere Dou Zun level beings simply cannot stop her in the slightest.

"How dare you trespass into my Hall of Souls! You've truly entered the Netherworld yourself, courting death!"

Just as Xiao Yi Xian was about to destroy the giant palace, another angry roar came from within it.

Immediately, a black shadow shot out, and a massive black chain, hundreds of feet long, pierced through the void like a black venomous dragon, hurtling towards Xiao Yi Xian.

"So, the Advanced Ban Sheng has finally had enough?"

Xiao Yi Xian indifferently raised her eyes at the chain, and with a burst of Vigor Qi, the huge chain was struck as if by a heavy blow, and was violently pushed back, finally crashing heavily into the giant hall.

Before the other party could react, Xiao Yi Xian gave chase.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle. Half an hour later, the area was shrouded in gray mist, filled with an aura of death.

Xiao Yi Xian put away the glowing sphere and left the place.
