Furious and Exasperated

"Those two old bastards here just tried to show off their Spatial Power in front of me. They were really asking for death." Zi Yan threw down the two corpses, letting them float in the air, a hint of disdain on her lips.

Xiao Ming smiled slightly upon hearing this. Zi Yan's current strength is at the Mid-stage Four-star Dou Sheng, which is already higher than these two Dou Sheng. In addition, the Ancient Void Dragon is skilled in space, so these two old guys trying to escape through the void is indeed a bit like showing off their skills in front of Guan Yu.

After briefly examining their bodies and discovering that their souls were shattered, Xiao Ming collected their corpses and then beckoned Zi Yan to land.

In the ruins of the Earth Hall, only broken walls and rubble remain, and there is almost no sign of human habitation.

Where the original main hall once stood, countless black chains were now visible, with numerous Soul Light Cluster hanging at the ends of those chains.

Xiao Ming deliberately avoided this area when he was annihilating the people from the Hall of Souls, so this place is not a major problem.

Looking at the thousands upon thousands of withered Soul Body, Xiao Ming couldn't help but sigh. Although due to the dog-eat-dog environment, there were very few truly good people who embarked on the Path of Cultivation on the entire Dou Qi Continent, the methods of the Hall of Souls were extremely ruthless even among villains. They would capture and exploit even the dead, which was truly inhuman.

After sighing, Xiao Ming waved his hand lightly, and a terrifying gust of wind swept past like a gale, instantly shattering the chains.

The souls within those orbs of light slowly opened their eyes at this moment, looking around weakly and blankly, before suddenly emitting Soul Fluctuation of extreme joy.

Although they didn't know exactly when it happened, they felt a sense of freedom.

For years, they have been locked up here like prisoners, and sometimes, even death has become a luxury...

"Let's all go. Don't let the Hall of Souls catch us again."

Looking at these souls, so overjoyed and excited they were almost in tears, Xiao Ming said.

In the sky, countless souls lingered, and finally knelt down before Xiao Ming, performing a great salute before roaring out of the Space Barrier and rushing madly towards the free world outside.

Looking at the souls frantically fleeing this place, Xiao Ming couldn't help but shake his head. Then he looked at the center of the hall and sensed the pure Soul Origin.

With a flick of his sleeve, a terrifying gust of wind sent those stone pillars, hundreds of feet tall, flying away.

With a stomp of his foot, his white robe fluttered and rustled, unleashing a burst of Hidden Strength that blasted a massive crater several meters deep into the ground with a deafening boom.

Inside the pit, there were buried Soul Locks, and in the very center of the pit, a high platform was engraved with strange, lifelike runes, like an altar, and on the altar was the Soul Origin that Xiao Ming sensed.

This Soul Locks connects to the Soul Origin on one side, while on the other side it becomes more and more scattered. Each Soul Locks is connected to the many who just escaped, extracting the Soul Origin.

Xiao Ming into the pit, he could still sense lingering traces of resentment within his Soul Origin. The amount of Grudge remaining here was greater than in any other Soul Origin Xiao Ming had ever absorbed.

Clearly, this mass of Soul Origin extracted even more souls.

"I have avenged you. If you sense anything, let go of your obsession and disperse."

Xiao Ming was just saying that the more obsessions he could dissipate, the easier it would be to absorb and refine them later.

After saying all this, the ball of light formed from the Soul Origin began to shimmer faintly. Finally, wisps of gray mist drifted out from it and dissipated into the air.

"Xiao Ming, what is this?"

Zi Yan glanced at the scattered thoughts dissipating in the air, instinctively feeling repulsed by these evil thoughts, and asked with some curiosity.

"This ball of light is the convergence of the Soul Origin of millions of people. What just dissipated was the obsession of millions of people. This obsession is similar to a curse, designed to harm the person who absorbed their Soul Origin. If one is unaware and rashly absorbs it, even Heavenly Realm Soul will lose its mind and may eventually go mad and die."

"That scary?!"

Upon hearing this, Zi Yan's large, watery eyes widened, and she took two steps back.

The souls of Magical Beast are very weak, and even she, as Dragon Emperor, is no better off. She doesn't want to absorb these obsessions and see if her soul can withstand them.

"Hehe, there's no need to be afraid. That obsession has almost completely dissipated."

Xiao Ming took two steps forward, his white robe fluttering as he extended a hand. He slowly walked closer and placed it on the Soul Origin. After a ripple, the Soul Origin was withdrawn.

At this moment, everyone in this Earth Hall has been killed. Although many of the Hall of Souls experts were Soul Body and would dissipate into the world upon death, many others still possessed physical bodies.

Therefore, this space now appears to be nothing but minced meat and bones, with a strong, pungent smell of blood rising into the air.

Looking around, Xiao Ming felt nothing. He had no feelings for the vicious and ruthless Hall of Souls. He had already developed this mindset during his training in the Black Corner Region.

Let's go.

Xiao Ming didn't want to linger in this place littered with corpses. He put away his Soul Light Cluster, turned around, and sped away towards the edge of the mountains. Zi Yan quickly followed after him.

About half an hour after Xiao Ming and his companion left, the space above a mountain peak not far from the canyon rippled slightly.

A dark figure darted out and finally darted into the ruins of the giant hall. When he saw the excavated ruins, his face immediately darkened and his eyes were filled with anger.

"The souls that the Earth Hall painstakingly collected over a hundred years have been taken away, and the Human Hall did the same just now. Adding to the Soul Origin lost earlier, nearly half of the Soul Origin my Hall of Souls has collected over the past hundred years is gone. If this gets back to the clan, even I will be severely punished! Damn it!"

The figure was none other than Hun Miesheng. At this moment, he was gazing into the empty depths of the Hall of Souls, his face slightly pale.

The Earth Hall and the Human Hall are very important Branch Hall within the Hall of Souls. The souls imprisoned there are also quite powerful, and the Soul Origin collected from them is naturally extremely strong.

Because the protective forces were strong, when the Branch Hall were attacked before, the souls of the two Branch Hall were not transferred; only the Soul Origin of the Earth Fiend Hall and those below them were transferred.

Now, the Soul Origin the Human Hall and the Earth Hall has been taken away, and the imprisoned souls have been released. Even the Hall of Souls cannot bear such a loss!

"The Heavenly Court has become a major threat, and only by destroying Heavenly Court can the losses be mitigated. If I were to act alone, that old monster would surely stop me. It seems I will have to ask someone from within the clan for help again. Hmph! Xiao Ming, just Hall Master wait..."

Hun Miesheng's figure vanished into the world, but his sinister and vicious murmur lingered for a long time.
