At this moment, every student in the Flying Eagles Academy was shivering in fear.

It was too terrifying and too strong. Such a being shouldn’t have appeared in this place.

It was practically a cheat.

Some of the students and instructors who were knocked over by the old leopard demon were the

unluckiest. They died upon contact, and they couldn’t fight back at all. The old leopard demon showed

his true form, and golden rays of light projected from his body as tall as a building. His long tail was his

sharpest weapon. A single swipe of his tail could cause a building to collapse to the ground.

Even the students hiding in the safety bunker could feel the grounds shaking. It was as if there had

been a strong earthquake. Once everything had passed, these students walked out of the safety

bunker. When they arrived outside and saw their surroundings, they were all dumbfounded.

Buildings had collapsed, and there were holes in the ground.

The surface of the ground had sunk over ten meters deep around Soul Refining Tower. Only the ground

beneath Soul Refining Tower remained intact. It remained upright in the center of the huge bowl-

shaped pit.

News about what happened here quickly reached the high-level members of Flying Eagles and the

high-level government officials in America. Soon, a group of investigators made their way into the

Flying Eagles Academy.

They used various tools to survey the environment and made some calculations. In the end, they came

to a single conclusion, America was about to face a huge disaster.

That fellow’s destructive capabilities definitely exceeded a Tribulation Crossing expert. He was very

likely above the Tribulation Crossing rank and the strongest member of the demon tribe with noble

status. This time, he likely appeared in America to gather intel.

Twenty minutes later, the government, Flying Eagles, the Flying Eagles Academy, and various military

groups held an emergency meeting.

Right then, a high-level member of Flying Eagles who was at the scene earlier suddenly recalled

something. “Wait a second. Do you remember what the leopard demon said before it left? It asked us

to hand his wife over safely. But the female leopard is severely injured now. She won’t live much longer

in Soul Refining Tower. If she dies…”

“Quick, let her out!” Somebody shouted.

“This… This might be a little tricky, I’m afraid. Soul Refining Tower is Principal Henderson’s refining

treasure. Now that he isn’t here, we can’t really control it. That female leopard hasn’t been locked

inside for long. At the very least, she’ll need to stay inside for three days before we can let her out.”

“…”

“Could what it said be true? Will it really lead the demon tribe’s army to attack us after seven days?”

Right then, Darnic Young started speaking. “Don’t scare yourselves. Our battle in the ancient boundary

has lasted thirty years. Don’t we know the situation inside well enough? There were mostly demon

beasts. How could there be a demon tribe army? That b*stard was just scaring us.”

“What do you propose, Commander Young?” A high-level government official asked.

“I’d say that the leopard demon is definitely an ally to Jade and Alex. Perhaps, Jade was the one who

raised it! Didn’t we see that leopard demon standing next to Alex in California? He even killed so many

of our people. Alex is Jade’s disciple. This is most probably Jade’s way of exacting revenge after losing

her position as the commander.”

“I have two suggestions. Firstly, we’ll send a huge army to stand guard at the ancient boundary.”

“Secondly, immediately give orders to make Jade and Alex wanted criminals across the globe. These

two people co-operated with the demon tribe to harm humans. They are practically public enemies of

all humans. As long as we capture them, that leopard demon naturally can’t cause any trouble,” Darnic

said.

“What about the female leopard? Should we let her go?” somebody asked.

Darnic laughed coldly. “Why should we let her go? Won’t she just become a threat to us then?

Previously, that female leopard was only weak because it had just given birth. Once we let her out,

she’d only meet up with that male leopard. By then, they’ll truly become invincible. As long as we keep

the leopardess here, that b*stard will be wary of hurting her. Anyway, it doesn’t know if the female

leopard is dead or alive!”

With that, he looked at a few family representatives in the government. “What do you guys think?”

One of the representatives immediately nodded in agreement. “Commander Young is right. I agree.”

With someone taking the lead, the other government officials also nodded along.

“I agree with this too! Jade is the source of all this trouble. We must enhance our forces to capture this

woman as soon as possible. We can’t allow her to do as she wishes any longer.”

“That’s right. It’s been thirty years. Jade made herself appear like a hero. In reality, she’s just cultivating

her strength. The American government has invested a lot of manpower and resources, but there were

few returns in the end. She was the only one who benefited from all this, as well as her core team.”

“She’s not a hero. She’s a liar!”

“That’s right. We must announce this to the American public. Get everyone who’s seen her provide us

with information of her whereabouts.”
