Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2222

With a resounding boom, phoenix flames erupted from the swamp of malice and golden light. In an instant, it merged with the golden light to engulf the remaining malice.

The malice that could not be burned away in Louise's domain earlier now seemed to lose all will to resist.

As fire surged, the murky black malice was visibly scorched and burned away inch by inch until nothing remained.

Amidst this blazing sea of fire, the struggling black phoenixes began to dissolve to their original forms, until they revealed a human shape.

Louise instantly recognized it as the long-missing Caelan.

Now, he bore no resemblance to who he once was. His entire body was wrapped in thick black sludge, as the phoenix flames seared through him, he thrashed in the swamp and cried for help.

"S-save me… I-I don't want to die…

"Grandpa… Help…"

His voice was soon swallowed by the flames. His body, along with his demonic soul, gradually melted until he was completely gone.

As the last remnants of malice vanished from the domain, the swamp rapidly faded.

A gentle breeze swept through, and not even a speck of ash remained. Only the pristine mountains and green fields stood unmoving and beautiful like before.

This wasn't Louise's first time experiencing Shannon's domain, but right now, she felt a profound sense of comfort and peace, as though her body and soul had been cleansed from within.

It was as if every blade of grass and tree in the domain pulsed with vitality. Spiritual energy from the mountains flowed freely to her, healing the exhaustion and wounds from earlier.

It felt like she'd been born in this world. So this was what the domain of a ten-tailed fox meant to be…

Her eyes glimmered slightly as she looked toward Shannon. But the very next second, something seemed to strike her mind, and she urgently called out, "Soul Tree!"

With a thought from Shannon, the giant Soul Tree appeared within the green fields. Louise's protective barrier remained intact, but the tree itself bore clear signs of corruption. More than half of the soul bells hanging from the branches were tainted black.

Outside the domain, the others who hadn't been able to enter Louise's mind domain remained guarded by her fox form.

Since they couldn't see what was happening inside, Thalia and the others had to gauge the progress within by observing Louise's true form.

Gradually, they noticed that the malice clinging to her supernatural energy dissipated little by little.

Marilyn let out a joyful cry. "It must be Shannon!" Sensing Shannon into Louise's mind domain had been the right choice.

As Louise's true form restored its original lustrousness, the elders of the clan succeeded in defeating the malign demons corrupted by malice.

Seeing Louise slowly recover, they were relieved that she was no longer under the corruption of malice, but the Soul Tree behind her still hadn't recovered.

Just as they thought so, the illusory image of the Soul Tree suddenly burst into flames. The massive laze swallowed the entire tree in an instant.

The previously composed elders suddenly turned pale. "The Soul Tree! The Soul Tree is burning! What do we do now!"
