"Mu Gu now possesses the Bone Chilling Flame. He must be under the Soul Hall's tight protection. Mu Gu may be in the Heavenly Dipper Hall now, or perhaps even hiding within Heaven Hall." When Xuan Kongzi uttered the words "Heavenly Dipper Hall," the atmosphere in the room grew several degrees heavier. All three of them knew how powerful and terrifying the Soul Hall was.
The Soul Hall's hierarchy could roughly be divided into ordinary Soul Halls, Earth Fiend Halls, and Heavenly Dipper Halls.
Ordinary Soul Halls were spread throughout the entire Dou Qi Continent. Even in the most remote cities, a Soul Hall might be hidden somewhere. After all, Soul Hall was merely a designation; it did not necessarily refer to an actual hall. It could even be a medicinal herb shop, a tailor's shop, or a century-old general store deep in an alley.
Above the ordinary Soul Halls were the Earth Fiend Halls. There were twenty-four in total, each overseen by a venerable elder at the Dou Venerate level. All of them were located in the Central Plains, targeting the alchemists and spiritual bodies there.
Above the Earth Fiend Halls were the Heavenly Dipper Halls. There were only three: Heaven Hall, Earth Hall, and Human Hall. They were managed by the Soul Hall Master, the Deputy Hall Master, and the Grand Venerate. Heaven Hall was naturally the so-called Soul Hall headquarters.
The four words "Soul Hall Master" weighed upon the hearts of the three like an immense mountain.
Although outsiders claimed that the three Pill Tower giants had once joined forces to contend against a spiritual-body incarnation of the Soul Hall Master, only the three of them knew that it was pure rumor. Before the Soul Hall Master, the three of them had not amounted to a thing.
