The rat demon had died.
But as a first-generation demon revived by the resurgence of demon energy, its demon soul didn't disperse after Mengniang crushed its neck.
A faint gray shadow of a rat appeared within the main hall.
Yet in front of Mengniang, the rat demon's soul still trembled fiercely.
After all, it couldn't help but be suppressed by the bloodline hierarchy.
Mengniang instructed Jiang Shouzhong to take out the Zodiac Dharma Seal and, after infusing it with mystical power, absorbed the rat demon's soul into the seal—although currently, the seal was drained of mana, it could still absorb demon souls.
If there existed a Zodiac Map later on, directly branding the demon soul onto it and stamping it would make one its master.
At this moment, everyone else within the main hall fell deadly silent, their hearts filled with panic.
