The Battle Hall takes care of certain matters in the shadows. One of their biggest enemies is evil soul masters. The members of the Battle Hall don’t follow the same ranking system as the rest of the sect. The members of the Battle Hall are called agents.

There are four classes of agents:

Every agent will be rewarded for completing those missions as well. Furthermore, Battle Hall agents enjoy certain privileges other sect members don’t.

Each agent is provided a badge according to their class. It can be used to call for backup anywhere when need. Any agents within a 100-kilometer radius will rush to the site to help.

Once it makes contact with the body, the poison would disintegrate and spread through the veins and simultaneously follow the blood vessels to enter the heart. Its poison is also indissoluble. Even if one cut off the limb, the moment the poison entered the body, they would still be unable to prevent the poison’s instantaneous spreading. It causes no pain and spreads too fast for any antidotes to counter. Once the victim discovers something wrong, it was already time for them to die. The victim's entire body will evaporate from the potent poison, leaving nothing but a small puddle of black liquid.
