Chapter 658

It's hard to imagine how much his strength would increase after obtaining that nearly boundless soul.

Most importantly, he stole souls from the Soul Hall here; as long as he avoids leaking the news.

While gaining great benefits, he won't attract much hatred.

After all, those who captured these souls and refined them are the Soul Hall.

As for him, he is merely an innocent alchemist.

"First, collect the souls here, then talk—don't let things drag on."

Lin Feng silently muttered to himself, then rushed straight to the stone platform at the center of the hall.

After all, there are two Soul Realm souls there.

Just taking out one of them equals tens of thousands of other souls; naturally, we should collect it first.

Of course, the souls referred to here are not the fighters Lin Feng obtained on the Northwest Continent, nor even the weak souls of those with only Dou Qi.

Therefore, although their quantities are similar, the quality difference is vast.

"If you save me, old man, I'm willing to give you an Eighth Grade Four-Colored Pill."

The two Soul Realm souls, seeing someone dare to intrude into the Soul Hall's branch, desperately clung to their extremely weak souls and trembled as they spoke to Lin Feng.

If it were anyone else, upon hearing that saving them would grant an Eighth Grade Four-Colored Pill, they would surely agree.

However, Lin Feng's goal is not that Eighth Grade Pill.

What he truly wants is the opponents themselves.

Therefore, he naturally could not agree to them.

As hope ignited in the two opponents' eyes, then turned to disappointment, Lin Feng ignored them.

His attention was focused on the thick chains on the bodies of the two Eighth Grade Alchemist souls.

He noticed that periodically, a faint yellowish light would peel off from those two souls.

Then it would drift along the iron chains, quickly floating to the hall's ceiling.

Lin Feng's gaze followed those two faint lights closely.

After following those two faint lights for a short while, Lin Feng discovered them in midair above the hall.

Numerous chains were draped over a much thicker black iron chain.

Those much thicker chains extended to a certain side of the wall.

There, those chains converged onto a single iron chain as thick as a person.

Finally, that thickest chain hung vertically from the high wall and plunged into the hall's floor.

As for the pervasive faint yellow glimmer, it also followed those chains' path and finally drifted into that floor.

"Could it be that inside is the soul essence condensed from the souls extracted by this branch hall?"

Lin Feng fixed his gaze on the floor where the chain entered, silently murmuring.

Upon thinking this, his face suddenly showed an uncontrollable hint of surprise.

Afterward, he temporarily stopped paying attention to those two Eighth Grade Alchemist souls.

All that could be seen was him lightly tapping his foot, and his figure instantly vanished from the spot.

With a gust of wind sweeping past, he appeared beside that iron chain about as thick as a person.

Then Lin Feng lightly flicked his sleeve, and a terrifying gust of wind sprang forth from nowhere.

It forcefully flung the heavy ground surface and the underlying soil away.

Under Lin Feng's eager digging, the ground quickly formed a deep pit.

At the bottom of the pit floated a light cluster about ten centimeters in size.

The light cluster was overall transparent, with a faint yellow tint within.

From within it, Lin Feng could sense an unusually strong soul fluctuation.

Around the light cluster, a thick black iron chain was still attached.

Obviously, this light cluster is the soul essence extracted by the Soul Hall using some secret method from those souls.

Judging by the size of this light cluster, at least two to three hundred thousand souls would be needed to refine this much soul essence.

However, this soul essence cluster, though very pure,

but Lin Feng, who has had much contact with soul essence and possesses strong soul power, still sensed something off from it.

Immediately, Lin Feng reached out, casually waved his hand, and shattered that person-thick chain.

Then he slightly curled his palm, an suction force erupted, drawing the soul light cluster into his hand.

After grasping the soul essence cluster, Lin Feng gently stroked its surface and softly said, "Rest assured, I will avenge your grudge."

That light remark suddenly caused the soul light cluster in his hand to emit a faint glow.

Vaguely, it seemed as if various information was being transmitted from within.

As for Lin Feng, he silently received this information.

Perhaps this soul light cluster is due to the insufficiency of the Soul Clan's secret method.

Although it successfully extracted soul essence from the souls, the original owners' emotions were not completely cleared away.

These negative emotions, though extremely subtle, are insufficient to cause any noticeable adverse effects on whoever absorbs the soul essence.

Because this light cluster has gathered too much soul essence,

it caused the resentment, unwillingness, and other emotions left by the original owners before their complete death to coalesce, becoming extremely strong.

These emotions are quite difficult for an ordinary person to fully refine.

If an ordinary person recklessly absorbs them, lightly it will affect their mind, severely it will turn them into a madman who knows only killing.

After causing great impact, they will be jointly slain by the strong of the continent!

But Lin Feng's remark happened to strike right at the hearts of those people before their death.

This caused those hidden negative emotions to quietly dissipate.

After all, these people were captured by the Soul Hall and brought here, suffering endless torment.

Revenge against the Soul Hall is almost their final wish.

Seeing that the hidden negative emotions within the soul light cluster had completely dissipated, Lin Feng immediately carefully stored it into the cyan spatial ring on his finger.

And after he finished collecting the items, he returned once again to the stone platform in the middle of the hall.

Venerable, everything can be negotiated; as long as you are willing to let us go, we can give you anything we have.

Yes, our backing is decent; as long as you rescue us, we will surely obtain their generous rewards.

Seeing Lin Feng approach, the two eighth-rank alchemists hurriedly said temptingly.

After all, judging from his earlier actions, his purpose is likely the same as that of the Soul Hall.

He intends to take the soul origin and absorb it to strengthen his own soul power.

However, Lin Feng directly ignored their pleas.

He flicked his finger, and two invisible fire chains shot out instantly.

In an instant, they pierced into the bodies of those two somewhat illusory souls of the spiritual realm.

At the same time, several fierce strands of Fighting Qi fiercely struck the iron chains surrounding those two soul bodies.
