Background / History

Soul Hall had long operated in secrecy across the Central Plains, capturing powerful souls—especially those of alchemists—and concealing its movements thoroughly enough to evade the Pill Tower's intelligence network. It was suspected of abducting Yao Chen after he vanished while seeking ingredients for an eighth-tier pill. 1 3

Before Yao Chen's disappearance, the Soul Hall elder Mu Gu attempted to turn Han Feng against his master. Han Feng pretended to cooperate, exposed the scheme to Yao Chen, and helped severely wound Mu Gu. 3

Yao Chen later revealed that Soul Hall had previously set an ambush against him in an ancient ruin. Four Dou Venerable elders surrounded him; although he killed two and severely wounded another, Gu You betrayed him with a bone spike coated in Soul-Dissolving Saliva. Yao Chen destroyed his own body to avoid capture, escaping only as a remnant soul within a ring. 20

Soul Harvesting

Soul Hall captures and collects souls as a core activity.

• It specifically targets powerful experts and alchemists. 1
• Its members use soul-power chains to extract the souls of dying cultivators and magical beasts, then seal them in soul bags. 87
• It sought the Soul Essence beneath Soulfall Abyss as a crucial resource for the Soul Clan's grand plan. 36
• During the beast tide, its emissaries harvested souls, blood essence, and remains tainted by Outer-Realm Demonic Breath rather than aiding the victims. 87

Methods and Resources

• Soul Hall agents generally wear black robes and emit cold, sinister auras. 35 72
• The organization employs poisonous and covert methods, including Soul-Dissolving Saliva. 20
• Its forces include Soul Fiends, Protectors, Heavenly Venerables, guardian puppets, and formation defenses. 67 72 95
• Its headquarters were built from black obsidian and shrouded in black mist, reinforcing its concealed and oppressive image. 94 95

Known Members

Story Role / Major Arcs

Yao Chen's Fall

Soul Hall is responsible for the conspiracy that reduced Yao Chen to a remnant soul. Its ambush and Gu You's betrayal became Han Feng's central motive for investigating and retaliating against the organization. 3 20

Soulfall Abyss Losses

Han Feng ambushed Bone You and the Third Heavenly Venerable at Soulfall Abyss, killed both Half-Saints, then used a Teleportation Jade Talisman to draw out and kill the Great Heavenly Venerable, Hun Yi. He subsequently seized the Soul Essence that Soul Hall had intended to collect. 35 36 37

The bodies of Bone You and the Third Heavenly Venerable were refined into Half-Saint Heavenly Demon Puppets, while Hun Yi's remains were kept as a potential body for Yao Chen's rebirth. 37 38 65

Kill Order and Assault on Sacred City

After confirming the deaths of three Heavenly Venerables, Hun Miesheng designated Han Feng as Soul Hall's number one kill-on-sight target, equating his threat level with descendants of the Ancient Eight Clans possessing Divine-Grade Bloodlines. 67

Soul Hall later launched a full-scale assault on Sacred City with several thousand experts led by its deputy hall master. Han Feng killed the deputy hall master with A Single Sword Opens the Heavenly Gate, while Hun Miesheng fled and the remaining invaders were exterminated. 72 73

Betrayal During the Beast Tide

During the beast tide from the Ancient Wilds, Soul Hall emissaries exploited the catastrophe to gather souls and corrupted remains. 87

Hun Miesheng later openly supported the ferocious beasts invading human territory, prompting Han Feng to denounce Soul Hall as traitors to humanity. The Pill Tower Ancestor's arrival forced Hun Miesheng to retreat. 93

Central Plains Purge

Han Feng proposed Soul Hall's eradication at the Northern Region Stronghold. The Central Plains' major factions unanimously supported the campaign, using the Pill Tower's intelligence to attack the three Celestial Dipper Halls and the organization's widespread branch network. 94

Hun Miesheng anticipated the assault and abandoned the Heaven, Human, and Earth Halls before the alliance arrived. The human coalition destroyed the empty halls and eliminated countless remaining strongholds, but Soul Hall's core forces remained at large. 95

Notable Quotes

“From this day forth, list Han Feng as the number one kill-on-sight target of my Soul Hall!” — Hun Miesheng 67

“When has my Soul Hall ever needed to explain its actions to anyone?” — Hun Miesheng 93

Trivia

• Soul Hall's pursuit of Soul Essence at Soulfall Abyss inadvertently provided Han Feng with the resource needed to restore Yao Chen's soul cultivation. 36 37
• Yao Chen rejected Hun Yi's Dou Sheng body for rebirth because it retained Soul Hall's sinister aura, choosing the Creation Saint's skeleton instead. 65 66
• Despite the destruction of its visible infrastructure, the surviving core of Soul Hall is considered more dangerous because its plans and location are unknown. 95
