Chapter 452: Region Branch Hall of the Hall of Souls

South-Eastern Region, Desolate Soul Mountain Range.

The Desolate Soul Mountain Range was located in the South-Eastern Region's northwestern expanse. The area had been deeply veiled in Yin energy due to its terrain. A special force intertwined with this Yin energy, thick enough to cloud perception.

Staying in this environment for an extended period of time could easily harm one's soul, which would be eroded by the Yin energy. As a result, this location was practically devoid of human presence, as no one would willingly linger in such a ghostly place.

Swoosh!

In the serene sky above the Desolate Soul Mountain Range, the sound of air being torn suddenly erupted. A streak of light flashed, and a graceful figure emerged from one of the peaks within the mountain range.

Her gaze was fixed on the deepest reaches of the mountain range, where space appeared warped behind the towering gray trees.

'Let's see, Xiao Ming told me that the Hall of Souls' South-Eastern Region headquarters should be located deep within this Desolate Soul Mountain Range. Hm? They appear to have established a spatial barrier here. Anyone who enters will be immediately noticed. Looks like my best course of action is a direct assault...'

Xiao Yi Xian muttered to herself. After Xiao Ming departed from the Small Pill Tower, she and Qing Lin entered seclusion. Seven months later, they had mostly absorbed the Dou Saint Gel, breaking through to the high-level Half Saint stage before emerging from their seclusion.

After meeting with Venerable Tian Huo, she and Qing Lin went their separate ways. Her little sister headed to the North-Eastern Region, while she arrived in the South-Eastern one.

'With my current strength, the lower realm Hall of Souls experts would probably be instantly poisoned to death if I released my Woeful Poison Gas. But I should seal the area just to be safe.'

Observing the spatial barrier, Xiao Yi Xian flicked her sleeve, causing ripples to spread throughout the space. Eventually, the entire region was enveloped in an even larger spatial barrier.

...

Amidst the somewhat distorted space, a vast expanse of blood-red land stretched out. Between the patches of land, occasional blood springs bubbled with a continuous gurgling sound, emitting an eerie and chilling atmosphere.

At the heart of this extensive region, a black giant hall stood silently. It resembled an ancient ferocious beast crouched upon the ground. A sinister and dreadful aura slowly diffused, rippling within this sealed space.

Within the black giant hall, numerous thick black chains extended, piercing deep into the ground. Upon these chains, swirls of black fog coiled and faintly converged into human-like forms. The chains occasionally emitted a subtle gleam before vanishing into the black fog, making it even denser.

The entire area appeared exceptionally quiet, enveloped in a peculiar atmosphere that sent shivers down one's spine.

Swoosh!

Amidst this silence that seemed to stretch on indefinitely, suddenly, around a dozen black fogs rose from the chains. The fog condensed, transforming into several individuals with cold expressions. They exchanged glances, their figures moving to gather together.

"Let's go. It's time for us to embark on our mission. I don't know why, but the quotas from above have become increasingly demanding these past two years. Hopefully, this time, we can harvest enough souls. Otherwise, we'll face punishment," among these figures, a person who appeared to be the leader spoke with a hoarse voice.

"Jie jie, not long ago, that old fellow Huang and his group massacred several cities. Not only did they bring back enough souls, but they also received a hefty reward from Lord Tianzun. This time, let's go and slaughter a few cities as well. With our strength, we have more than enough to bloodily cleanse several cities," one of them sneered with a sinister laugh.

The strength of the South-Eastern Region was similar to that of the North-Western Region. Not to mention Dou Venerates, even Dou Ancestors were rarely seen.

"Alright, remember, don't leave any survivors when the time comes."

The leader's figure also smiled coldly, nodding slowly. With a wave of his hand, the dozen figures transformed into a mass of black fog and swiftly rushed towards the space barrier beyond.

Bang!

However, just as this group of black fog was about to break through the spatial barrier, the space around them suddenly solidified. Immediately, it violently collapsed, and the dozen figures didn't even have a chance to scream before being crushed into nothingness by the terrifying spatial force!

Hiss!

As these figures turned into nothingness, the spatial barrier gradually split open, and Xiao Yi Xian stepped calmly through. Her jade feet landed in the air above the blood-red soil.

"Wuu!"

A mournful wail echoed from within the vast hall not long after she passed through the space barrier. Several eerie glares shot forth from the black fog on the chains, fixated on her.

"Daring to intrude upon the territory of our Hall of Souls, seeking death!"

Eerie and chilling shouts resounded, shattering the silence of the space. Numerous figures rose from the chains in that instant, transforming into black rays that carried a sinister aura, sweeping towards Xiao Yi Xian with a menacing gust of wind.

Seeing this, she didn't waste words. With a raise of her arm, a purple mist emanated from her body. Any of the many dark shadows that came within ten meters of the mist were swiftly reduced into nothingness in less than three breaths. Some weaker ones didn't even have a chance to let out a scream.

As the purple mist enveloped the surroundings, the approaching shadows were abruptly taken aback. They finally realized that this person wasn't here to court death; she had come prepared!

"You insolent wretch, how dare you rampage in our Hall of Souls! You're truly tired of living! Tianzuns, capture her!"

A furious shout suddenly emerged from within the giant hall. Immediately, around a dozen figures rushed out of the hall like lightning, hovering in the sky and casting a sinister gaze upon Xiao Yi Xian through the mist.

She remained silent, directly leaping across the vast poisonous mist that spanned hundreds of meters. She appeared in midair, her palm aimed at the group of Hall of Souls Tianzuns. The space instantly solidified, and her hand clenched fiercely.

Bang!

The bodies of the tens of Hall of Souls Tianzuns exploded into pools of blood in an instant as her palm closed in. Even their souls were crushed by the horrifying spatial pressure.

With Xiao Yi Xian's current strength as a high-level Half Saint, these pitiful Tianzuns stood no chance of halting her.

"You dare to invade my Hall of Souls! You're truly courting your own doom!"

Just as Xiao Yi Xian appeared to be about to demolish the massive hall, another enraged roar echoed from within it.

Immediately, a figure shot out, and a massive, hundred-meter-long jet-black chain resembling a venomous black dragon tore through the void, hurtling towards her with tremendous force.

"High-level Half Saint, so that's where you were hiding, it seems you can no longer remain idle, huh?"

Xiao Yi Xian raised her indifferent gaze to the approaching chain. A surge of Dou Qi erupted, and the massive chain was sent hurtling back, crashing heavily onto the massive hall.

Before the Half-Saint could react, she pursued relentlessly.

A fierce battle erupted between the two sides. After half an hour, the area was shrouded in a haze of purple mist, saturated with an air of death.

"Only one more Region Branch, then I'll reunite with little sister in the North-Western Region," Xiao Yi Xian whispered softly. Her voice was filled with eager anticipation as she gently placed a glowing sphere into her storage ring. "Northwestern Region... We'll be waiting for you there, you rascal~ I hope you don't keep us waiting too long. Then we can finally..." Her voice faded as she gracefully stepped into the void, vanishing from the scene.
