The Pinnacle of Life novel Chapter 1998

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.”

“…”

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.”
