The Phoenix Cloud Mountain, located at the Magic Phoenix Empire, was the highest mountain in the Wild Spirit Land.
The mountain towered into the sky and was shrouded in clouds and mist. However, its top was like a flattened plateau, as though its peak had been sliced off neatly.
The Phoenix Master Clan, one of the high-class clans of the spiritual race, was based at the top of the mountain. All kinds of buildings were located along the winding mountain. The sky was filled with phoenix beasts, giving the entire place an enchanting look.
However, one night, red demonic clouds gathered in the sky, densely packed above the peak of the mountain. Red thunder flashed amidst the thick clouds. The entire peak of the mountain was covered in a strong evil aura.
Just then, many ferocious demonic souls rushed out of a magnificent sacrificial hall on the west side of the mountain, flying towards the red clouds. After that, they disappeared without a trace.
Strewn on the steps of the hall were several bloodied corpses of the Phoenix Master Clan. Then, a few black shadows quickly shot out from the hall.
"Mission completed. Retreat!" One of them waved his hand, then flew away with the other black shadows.
A moment later, many more demonic souls flew out of the hall. Among them was a powerful red demonic soul, which was much bigger than other demonic souls. It possessed astonishing demonic power. The demonic aura around the hall was through the roof, which would've appalled anyone nearby.
Then, like the other demonic souls, it flew into the red clouds.
Just as it disappeared into the clouds, the matriarch of the Phoenix Master Clan rushed over with several elders, spiritual masters, and several hundred members of the clan. The scene that greeted them left them shocked and disturbed.
"Matriarch, are these the demonic souls that had been sealed in the Demonic Soul Cauldron for more than 500 years? There are so many of them!" one of the elders exclaimed in surprise.
"The soul of the most powerful demonic beast in the ancient times is placed in the Demonic Soul Cauldron. Those small ones should be remnant souls, but the most terrible one is the original
y surrounded the Ice Phoenix Queen. Then, nine phoenix shadows appeared out of nowhere and drilled into the ice body of the queen, leaving nine distinct phoenix patterns.
The next moment, the demonic power released by the queen disappeared, and its eyes returned to normal.
The matriarch and her group heaved a sigh of relief.
"Although I have temporarily suppressed the original demonic soul in the body of the legendary guardian beast, we must find a way to draw it out. Otherwise, within a few days, the beast will probably be controlled by it. Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected it to be this powerful!" the matriarch exclaimed, her eyes flashing seriously.
Then, she had her group work together to set up a sealing enchanted barrier around the nest of the Ice Phoenix Queen, just in case.
Once they had finished, they rushed back to the sacrificial hall. With the joint efforts of the members of the Phoenix Master Clan, they had sealed many of the remnant souls that wanted to escape in time. However, at least half of them had escaped from the Phoenix Cloud Mountain. Although the power of these remnant souls was not strong, once they possessed some supernatural beasts, spirit manipulators, or even humans, it would definitely be troublesome.
Therefore, the matriarch ordered her people to search for the remnant souls and try their best to take them back. If they couldn't, then they needed to try their best to kill them.
