Background / History

Soul Hall initially operates through Protectors and pursues powerful souls. A Protector recognizes Yao Chen and attempts to capture him, claiming he had previously been punished by the Hall Master for allowing Yao Chen to escape. Xiao Ze repels the attempt. 33

The organization continues targeting Xiao Ze and valuable resources. A black-robed Soul Hall alchemist, implied to be Old Man Mu Gu, attempts to capture Xiao Ze and is killed. Later, Soul Hall infiltrators and three Honored Elders exploit Xiao Ze's attempt to refine the Three Thousand Burning Flame, only to be eliminated by Xiao Ze's clones. 77 101 102

After Xiao Yan discovers a major hidden branch in the Central Plains, Xiao Ze, Yao Lao, Feng Xian, and Xiao Yan launch a retaliatory assault. The branch’s Protectors, Honored Elders, Old Ghost Zhaixing, the Black and White Heavenly Sovereigns, and other elites are killed; the branch is destroyed and Soul Hall retreats from the Central Plains for a time. 109 111 113 115

Soul Hall later reemerges against the newly founded Nine Heavens Alliance. It sends five Dou Saint clones led by a Vice Hall Master to demand the Xiao Tribe’s ancient jade and intimidate the alliance, but Xiao Ze destroys all five clones. 197

The organization subsequently supports raids on alliance territory, destroying strongholds and abducting alchemists. In response, Xiao Ze and Zi Yan attack Heavenly Dipper Hall’s Human Hall, killing its Heavenly Venerable, Great Heavenly Venerable, and Vice Master before burning the hall into ruins. 201 202 203

Following the destruction of Human Hall, Soul Hall joins the struggle for the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame and repeatedly clashes with Xiao Ze. Its Hall Master retreats from a direct confrontation before the Demonic Flame Space opens, unsuccessfully attempts to ambush Xiao Ze within that space, and later formally challenges the Nine Heavens Alliance at the Peak of the Fallen. 205 208 210

At the Peak of the Fallen, the Soul Hall Master, Soul Demon Elder, and Hun Qianmo face Xiao Ze together. Xiao Ze kills all three, after which the surviving Soul Hall experts flee and the Nine Heavens Alliance takes over Soul Hall’s sphere of influence. 212 213

A Soul Hall Protector attempts to seize Yao Chen after recognizing him in the Black-Corner Region. The Protector is stopped when Xiao Ze reveals his strength and repels the black-chain attack. 33

Attacks on Xiao Ze and the Pill Region

Soul Hall dispatches Venerable Qinghai and later sends Old Man Mu Gu after Xiao Ze. Mu Gu, described as a Soul Hall alchemist with exceptional soul strength, is killed after attempting to capture Xiao Ze. 58 77

During the struggle for the Three Thousand Burning Flame, two infiltrators open a spatial rift for three Honored Elders to ambush Xiao Ze. Xiao Ze’s clones eliminate the Elders, while the two infiltrators are crushed to death. 101 102

Destruction of the Central Plains branch

Xiao Ze attacks Soul Hall’s largest known Central Plains branch alongside Yao Lao, Feng Xian, and Xiao Yan. The assault kills Old Ghost Zhaixing, four other Honored Elders, the Black and White Heavenly Sovereigns, and six additional Honored Elders. The branch is ultimately abandoned and destroyed. 109 113 115

Conflict with the Nine Heavens Alliance

Soul Hall tests the new Nine Heavens Alliance with five Dou Saint clones and demands the Xiao Tribe’s ancient jade. Xiao Ze destroys the clones, exposing the attempt as intimidation rather than a direct offensive. 197

Soul Hall later escalates by organizing attacks on alliance cities and abducting alchemists. The campaign prompts Xiao Ze to target Human Hall directly. 201

Fall of Human Hall

Xiao Ze and Zi Yan slaughter Human Hall’s defenders, kill its Heavenly Venerable and Great Heavenly Venerable, and expose the Vice Master’s ambush. The Vice Master activates the Ten Thousand Soul Heart-Devouring Array, but Xiao Ze burns the array apart and kills him. Human Hall is left in ruins. 202 203

War with the Nine Heavens Alliance

After the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame is refined, Soul Hall launches surprise attacks across Nine Heavens Alliance territory. The resulting war lasts for a year without an immediate decisive victor. 209

Soul Hall then sends a battle invitation to the Nine Heavens Alliance and gathers seven Dou Saints at the Peak of the Fallen. Its Hall Master, Soul Demon Elder, and Hun Qianmo confront Xiao Ze; all three are killed. The remaining Soul Hall experts flee, ending Soul Hall’s dominance in the Central Plains. 210 212 213 214
