Chapter 1187 Take Back The Remnant Souls

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 soul. If it
escapes, it will be troublesome indeed!" While the matriarch was speaking, she raised her head to look
at the red demonic soul that was flitting about in the sky. She knew this was the very demonic soul she
spoke of.

"Everyone, listen," she barked. "Suppress those remnant souls and don't let them escape. The elders
and the spiritual masters must follow me to suppress the original soul of the most powerful demonic
beast in the ancient times." The matriarch knew that once the original soul escaped from the Phoenix
Cloud Mountain, terrible disaster would ensue. The soul could be reborn by possession, which would
be detrimental to all living beings. She couldn't let it escape, no matter what.

After the matriarch gave the order, hundreds of members of the Phoenix Master Clan immediately
scattered in all directions and used the secret skills of their clan to suppress the demonic souls that
were constantly flying out of the sacrificial hall. The matriarch, several elders, and spiritual masters
rushed to the original soul in the sky.

The original soul seemed to have its own consciousness. As it saw those pursuers approaching, it
immediately changed its direction and flew to the west.

The pursuers chased after it immediately.



"Matriarch, it seems to be flying in the direction of..." a spiritual master said suddenly as something
dawned on her.

The matriarch's expression darkened. She seemed to understand what the spiritual master was about
to say before she even finished her sentence. Together, they picked up their speed with a growing
sense of urgency.

Moments later, they arrived at a cliff in the west of the Phoenix Cloud Mountain. At the end of the cliff,
there was an exceptionally large bird's nest.

In the nest, there was a beast with a strong ice force and a huge body, almost like a small mountain. It
was snow-white all over, as if it came from a land of ice and snow. It was covered with thick scales of
ice, and in the night covered by the red light, it flashed with a strange, fiery luster.

This majestic creature was the legendary guardian beast that the Phoenix Master Clan had obtained
not long ago, the Ice Phoenix Queen.

The original soul was still steadily closing in on the Ice Phoenix Queen, and the latter had also sensed
the strong demonic soul approaching. Immediately, it opened its huge eyes and stood up. Spreading its
icy wings, which were as big as the treetops, it made a sharp sound, as though it was irritated and
vigilant.

However, the original soul was obviously not afraid of the Ice Phoenix Queen. It sped towards it, the
matriarch of the Phoenix Master Clan and her group following at its heels.

At that moment, the original soul emitted a strange demonic light. All of a sudden, the Ice Phoenix
Queen rushed towards it with incredible speed.

"Ice Phoenix Queen, don't!" the matriarch cried out, as she had an ominous premonition.



However, the Ice Phoenix Queen seemed not to hear her. It didn't slow down, and headed straight for
the original soul. The next moment, the queen collided with the soul in an explosion of demonic light
and ice shards. Then, the queen devoured the soul in one gulp.

The matriarch and her group were all stunned as they watched this scene unfold before them.

Then, to their horror, the queen's eyes suddenly glowed a deep, demonic red, and its body emanated
waves of demonic aura.

"Damn it!" the matriarch cursed. She brought her palms together, displaying the secret skill of the
Phoenix Master Clan.

Her body shone with a red light, and astonishing spiritual power rushed out of her body like a huge
wave that instantly 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.
