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.
