Chapter 191: First Appearance of the Hall of Souls, Nether Poison Swamp

While Xiao Ming and the girls were on their way to the Nether Poison Swamp, an unexpected guest arrived at Feng City in the Black-Corner Region.

In the past, Feng City was a busy place, with people coming and going, and was often frequented by Alchemists. Now, Feng City was no longer as prosperous as before.

The reason was that the owner of the city, Han Feng, was killed by the Jia Nan Academy four months ago because he had provoked them.

His body still hangs in the Death Spirit Tree.

Once Han Feng died, the city that had flourished because of him naturally went into decay.

After four months, the residents of Feng City seemed to have become accustomed to the life they led, except that by the occasional mention of Han Feng's name, the name of Xiao Ming would be associated with it.

In the heart of Feng City, the bamboo forest where Han Feng loved to stay has become a ruin, the bamboo building had collapsed long ago, and drops of dried blood could still be seen on it.

It could be seen that this place had once experienced a tragic battle.

In the sky above the forest, a black gas suddenly and strangely appeared and covered the sky as if it had a spiritual nature as if it were a ghost.

After the black gas appeared and contemplating the scene before it, it seemed to freeze for a moment. And after flying over the bamboo forest for a while, it suddenly flew away, leaving a faint black trail along the way.

A few moments later, the black shadow returned to the bamboo forest.

From the black mist, a black-robed man in the Dou Grandmaster realm was thrown down and hit the ground with a loud thud, raising clouds of dust.

The black-robed man seemed to be extremely frightened, and once he landed, he immediately stood up regardless of the pain coming from his body and then began to kneel and bow repeatedly to the black mist.

"Your Excellency, have mercy! Please spare my life, I am only a small person, please spare me, if you want to ask me anything, just ask, and I will tell you everything!"

"Jie Jie Jie, you're smart enough to know why this Protector found you". From the black mist came an extremely strange laughter, which seemed very loud, but it didn't go very far before it dissipated completely.

On the ground, as soon as the black-robed man heard the laughter, his body trembled, and then he wanted to say something flattering to please the other party.

Before he could begin, he was interrupted by the black mist in the sky.

"This Protector only asks you one thing, isn't this Han Feng's residence in Feng City? Why is it now destroyed? Where did Han Feng go? You'd better tell me honestly everything you know, or this Protector will make you suffer the pain of your soul being devoured!"

Hearing the black mist's question in front of him, the black-robed man's eyes lit up, "Your Excellency, I know the answer to this question, everyone knows how Han Feng died!"

"Medicine Emperor Han Feng died four months ago at the hands of Elder Xiao Ming of Jia Nan Academy!"

"What!?" Hearing this, the black mist was surprised, he had thought of many possibilities, but he did not think that Han Feng had been killed.

"Give this Protector a detailed account of the facts".

At the black mist's request, the black-robed man told it everything he knew, the content was actually very general, nothing more than Han Feng inviting powerful people from various forces of the Black-Corner Region to invade the Jia Nan Academy, for which he was killed by them in return. And in the battle, Elder Xiao Ming performed extremely brilliantly, a single person killed Mister Gold and Mister Silver, who could rival a Dou Ancestor, as well as Han Feng.

He did not know the exact facts, such as why Han Feng had invaded the Jia Nan Academy in the first place, the process of the battle, and so on.

This was normal, Han Feng had made elaborate plans to keep the Heavenly Flame for himself, and to prevent the news from leaking out, those strong people who were invited only knew that Han Feng was going to steal the Heavenly Flame not long before they arrived at the Jia Nan Academy.

But all those strong people stayed behind at Jia Nan Academy, and only Gong Heng, a Dou Ancestor, escaped.

As a Dou Ancestor powerhouse, Gong Heng would naturally not gossip about why Han Feng had gone to Jia Nan Academy.

It was even more unlikely that the Jia Nan Academy, as the victorious party, would do so.

So the inhabitants of the Black-Corner Region only knew the final outcome of the battle, but not the details.

Naturally, this did not satisfy the man in the black fog.

So he only gave a slight snort, and before the other party could see anything else, the black-robed man kneeling on the ground bled to death from his seven orifices.

"What a waste, you can't even understand the words". The black-robed man in the black mist said impatiently.

"That Han Feng was also a waste; he was actually killed by a brat". After what the black-robed man had just said, the man in the black mist had a preliminary understanding of Xiao Ming and knew that he was still very young.

"If you wanted to die, at least you would have waited until I came, then I might be able to get the soul of an Alchemist. The soul of a sixth-tier Alchemist is a good thing! And the Honorable Elder seems to value Han Feng highly, if Han Feng's soul was not destroyed, it might still be in the hands of that Xiao Ming, two sixth-tier Alchemists... maybe I might be able to plan something."

"However, I am not enough to mess with this Jia Nan Academy, I heard that this fellow Protector Wu is in the Jia Ma Empire, maybe I can find him to discuss this".

After uttering these words, the mist over the bamboo forest immediately dissipated without a trace.

Only a corpse remained, lying quietly on the ruins.

...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, another two months had passed.

The sky was dark, covered by layers of thick clouds and fog, and not even the midday sun could cast its rays through it.

The air seemed to be filled with a poisonous miasma, replete with an unsettling odor that made one feel slightly dizzy when inhaling it.

The forest was so vast that one could not see the end. The forest was dense, but there was no hint of life at all, but rather a dying atmosphere as if it were a ghost forest.

Suddenly, in the distant sky, there was the sound of a gust of wind, and then a small black dot appeared at the edge of it.

On the back of the beast, a man and two women were clearly visible with their eyes closed.

Suddenly, the eyes of the only man among the three trembled slightly before opening. After observing the wet swamp below, he turned his head to the two girls beside him, "Looks like we've arrived".

Hearing his words, Zi Yan and Xiao Yi Xian also opened their eyes and looked down.

"It seems that we have indeed arrived, however, the atmosphere here is a bit harsh". Looking at the black mist floating around them, Xiao Yi Xian frowned slightly, she could feel the toxins permeating the air everywhere.

Good thing she had the Woeful Poison Body, otherwise she would have been in some trouble when she encountered this fog.

This was still the outer perimeter, the poisonous mist on the inner perimeter would obviously be much heavier.
