Chapter 1277: Exposed
After entering the building, they were greeted by the sight of a long and extremely dark passageway that led downward, extending into a circular, underground space that had been segmented into a series of independent sections.
At the center of the underground space was a crimson pond, while a series of cages in which all types of souls were being held were present in the segmented areas.
The soul harvesting envoys were currently in the process of locking up the souls that they were escorting into the vacant cages, and there were also some other envoys standing in the crimson pond, but it was unclear what they were doing.
"Looks like this is where the souls are held. There's not much to see here, let's go elsewhere to try and find a way to leave this place," Weeping Soul urged.
"What's going on with the Yama Cauldron at the moment? Is it still pointing in a certain direction?" Han Li asked.
Weeping Soul hesitated momentarily, then replied, "The cauldron is trying to guide us toward that dark cloud."
For some reason, Han Li had expected this to be the case, so he wasn't overly surprised to hear this.
After some contemplation, he suggested, "Let's split up to search for ways to leave this crimson space. There's no need to go looking outside the city. I already examined the area with my spiritual sense earlier, and I couldn't find any ways out."
"The effects of this secret technique should be able to last a day and a night, so we should be safe during this time," Weeping Soul replied, and the two of them exited the building before parting ways.
Close to a day later, the two of them reconvened at the entrance of the same building, and both of them had grim looks on their faces.
Neither of them had managed to find a way out.
