章 1432: A Supreme Treasure That's Difficult to Obtain

As discussions buzzed, all eyes inevitably turned to the most formidable faction within the Hall of Souls: the members of the Stone family.

The expressions of the Stone family's representatives soured visibly, a reminder of the longstanding blood feud between them and the Neal family. 

The rift dated back to the attempted assassination of Thirteen by the Stone family's elder, an incident nearly sparking a full-blown war that spilled into the Hall of Souls, claiming many soul slaves from the Stone family. 

Though merely three decades had passed since the feud's inception, neither side had forgotten or forgiven.

Had it not been for the Stone family's treacherous assault, the Neal family would have boasted not one, but two individuals wielding ten-eyed dual pupils—a sight to behold indeed.
