Soul Hall

Biodata

History

Soul Hall first intervenes directly in Xiao Yan’s conflict with Han Feng. A Soul Devouring Envoy extracts Han Feng’s soul, seizes the Sea Heart Flame, and questions Xiao Yan about Yao Chen’s whereabouts before escaping through a spatial technique. The encounter establishes Soul Hall’s interest in both Elder Yao and Heavenly Flames. 138

The organization subsequently targets Xiao Yan and his allies repeatedly. Its experts attack the Jia Nan Academy forces, abduct Elder Yao during Xiao Yan’s battle with Yun Shan, and later deploy Protectors to seize remnant souls, bodies, and other resources. 139 158 172

After Elder Yao’s capture, Xiao Yan founds the Yan Alliance specifically to oppose Soul Hall and build the strength needed to rescue him. Soul Hall’s continuing raids, use of subordinate factions, and expansion across the Northwestern Continent later prompt the formation of the Anti-Soul Alliance, renamed the Heavenly Mansion Alliance. 163 365 369

The Heavenly Mansion Alliance eventually shifts from defense to coordinated counterattacks. It raids Soul Hall’s four core regional Branch Halls, captures their resources and records, destroys their soul-energy infrastructure, and finally attacks the organization’s main hall. 381 382 406
