Destroying the Mortal Hall, Subduing the Soul Hall's Great Heavenly Venerate

"I... I'm still alive! You... who are you?!"

The Great Heavenly Venerate was awakened by the explosion. He was still wondering if he was still alive when he noticed Xiao Yan standing in front of him, and his expression immediately turned to horror.

"Xiao Yan, Descendant of the Xiao Clan." Xiao Yan didn't hide anything and revealed his identity with a faint smile.

Xiao Yan of the Xiao Clan?!

Upon hearing this name, the Great Heavenly Venerate's pupils contracted, his face filled with disbelief. "Impossible! How could the Xiao Clan possibly still have Dou Sheng Expert! You're lying to me..."

He was present during the battle to annihilate the Xiao Clan back then, and he also participated in the subsequent actions. How could the Xiao Clan possibly still have such a powerful Dou Sheng?

"Believe it or not, it's up to you." Xiao Yan didn't care whether he believed it or not. He grabbed the Great Heavenly Venerate's withered head with his large hand, activated the power of the Sheep Talisman, protected the soul, and began to tamper with its consciousness.

"What... what are you going to do!"

Feeling the giant hand above his head, the Great Heavenly Venerate's heart pounded wildly. He wanted to retaliate, but found that he had no power to resist at all, not even the power to self-destruct.

"What for?" Xiao Yan smiled coldly upon hearing this, "Just turning you into my most loyal dog, and incidentally, getting some information out of your head, hehehe!"

Upon hearing this, the Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable felt a chill run down his spine. He then sensed an unstoppable force invading his soul, and his consciousness grew increasingly blurred.

"No... you can't do this! I am the Great Heavenly Venerate of the Soul Hall, backed by the Hun Clan..."

At this moment, the renowned Great Heavenly Venerate was truly afraid and repeatedly threatened, though the threat grew softer and softer.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine after a good night's sleep, hehehe!" Xiao Yan said with a smile.

A moment later, the Great Heavenly Venerate successfully evolved into a dog. At the same time, Xiao Yan obtained the exact location of the Earth Hall from its memories.

"Even this guy doesn't know the exact location of the Heaven Hall. The secrecy is just too good," Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh.

This old guy is at least a Two-Star Dou Saint, which is considered a mid-to-high-level combat power among ancient races, yet he doesn't even have the qualifications to know where the Heaven Hall is. It's simply outrageous.

"Lord of the Palace!"

The Great Heavenly Venerate opened his eyes, his gaze towards Xiao Yan Xiao Yan with respect, and immediately knelt down before him.

Upon hearing the title "Palace Master," Xiao Yan couldn't help but smile. He then ordered, "Go and retrieve all the Soul Origin your Human Hall has collected, and release all the souls you captured that are still alive."

"Yes!" The Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable accepted the order, his figure immediately disappearing as he went to retrieve the Soul Origin.

After the Great Heavenly Venerate left, Xiao Yan released his senses to check if there were any survivors.

After being bombarded repeatedly by the Buddha's Fury Fire Lotus, the once towering black palace that stood between heaven and earth had completely vanished without a trace.

After some investigation, it was discovered that, apart from the Great Heavenly Venerate, no one from the Soul Hall had been left alive; they had all been sent to enjoy their blessings.

When the Great Heavenly Venerate reappeared, he held a ball of light about half a zhang in size in his hand. It was transparent and was the Soul Origin.

"All the Soul Origin collected by my Human Hall over the past hundred years are here. Please examine them, Palace Master," the Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable said respectfully, presenting the contents to Xiao Yan with both hands.

Upon receiving the Soul Origin, Xiao Yan's eyes blazed with fervor.

With this Soul Origin, his soul was able to truly break through to the Heaven Realm Great Perfection.

At that point, he can proceed with the next step of his plan.

"Let's go, follow me to the Earth Hall." After storing his Soul Origin in his Storage Ring, Xiao Yan commanded the Great Heavenly Venerate beside him.

"Yes!" the Great Heavenly Venerate replied.

After checking again and finding no survivors, Xiao Yan threw out a fire, and only after completely erasing all traces of the place did he leave with the Great Heavenly Venerate.

Not long after the two left, the already crumbling space could no longer hold on. After a final loud bang, it began to collapse rapidly and eventually disappeared completely from the world.

By searching through the memories of the Great Heavenly Venerate, Xiao Yan learned that the Heavenly Dipper Hall Earth Hall were located in the northwest of Central Plains, in a place called the Xuanming Mountains.

With Xiao Yan's current speed, if he were to fully unleash his power, he could reach any location on the Dou Qi Continent in an instant, so the travel time would be negligible.

The Great Heavenly Venerate also witnessed Xiao Yan's terrifying speed, and his respect for Xiao Yan grew even stronger.

The Xuanming Mountains are a notorious and dangerous place in the Central Plains, a desolate and lifeless place filled with deathly silence.

This place is perpetually shrouded in a thick, dark gray mist, and is extremely rich in earthly evil and yin energy. If someone with slightly lower strength were to enter this place, their soul would easily be corrupted by the yin energy here.

"Our Soul Hall really has a special fondness for these dark and gloomy places." Looking at the eerie mountain range beneath his feet, Xiao Yan joked with the Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable.

"It's all thanks to the Temple Master's goodness," the Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable said humbly.

"Let's go, you show me around," Xiao Yan said with a smile.

For this Earth Hall and even the Heaven Hall, Xiao Yan didn't plan to give them surprises like before, but instead intended to use some gentler methods.

"Yes, Palace Master." The Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable replied respectfully, and then immediately led the way for Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan concealed his figure and aura with Snake Talisman, following behind the Great Heavenly Venerate.

The Soul Hall's Earth Hall is hidden beneath the Main Peak at the very center of the Xuanming Mountains. It is a giant underground Palace deep underground, based on Pocket World, and concealed and blocked by several spatial barriers, making it almost impossible for ordinary people to detect.

With the Great Heavenly Venerate leading the way, Xiao Yan passed through the gate, walked up the long black stone steps, and finally entered the underground Palace.

"Grown ups!"

"Your Majesty the Celestial Venerable..."

"..."

The Great Heavenly Venerate held a high position in the Soul Hall, and the guards stationed there always bowed respectfully to him.

"As expected of the Earth Hall, their strength is indeed remarkable." After sensing the strength of everyone in this Earth Hall, Xiao Yan couldn't help but sigh.

It can be said that there are Heavenly Protector as numerous as dogs, and Venerable Elder are everywhere.

At the same time, the Celestial Venerable and the Half-Saint also gathered here. The strongest among them was a Late Three-Star Dou Saint, who should be the Vice Hall Master was in charge here.

Xiao Yan estimated that this Earth Hall probably gathered ninety percent of the Soul Hall's combat power, except for Hun Miesheng.

"If we capture this Vice Hall Master, we should know the location of the Heaven Hall and that Hun Miesheng," Xiao Yan thought to himself.

Following the Great Heavenly Venerate, Xiao Yan arrived at the main hall of this underground Underground Palace.

"Find an excuse to gather all the high-ranking members of this Earth Hall together. As the Palace Master of our Soul Hall, I need to hold a meeting for them," Xiao Yan ordered the Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable with a wicked grin.

The Great Heavenly Venerate agreed without hesitation.

Through the memories of the Great Heavenly Venerate, Xiao Yan learned that this Heavenly Dipper Earth Hall was not only a place that stored a large amount of Soul Origin, but also the meeting place for the high-level members of the Soul Hall.

Soon, the Great Heavenly Venerate used the destruction of the Human Hall and the theft of the Soul Origin as pretexts to quickly gather the Vice Hall Master and the Second, Third, and Fourth Celestial Venerables stationed in the Earth Hall into the council hall.

They didn't dare delay and quickly went to the council hall to find out what was going on.

"Tell me what exactly happened?! How did that person find the location of the Human Hall?" The Vice Hall Master questioned the Great Heavenly Venerate Venerable with a ferocious expression.

The others also looked grim. The theft of their Soul Origin was a serious matter, and everyone could potentially face severe punishment.

Faced with the crowd's questions, the Great Heavenly Venerate seemed not to hear them, but instead turned and knelt down facing the direction of the hall's entrance, respectfully saying, "Hall Master!"

Lord!

Upon hearing this address, everyone was startled and then turned sharply towards the doorway.
