At this moment, all the high-ranking members of the Green Forest Academy gathered together.
The reason they did this was because the higher-ups at the Green Forest Academy received information that the missing people hadn't been kidnapped, but rather that they had obtained clues about SS Grade Soul Crystal.
That's why they were discovered.
According to the Green Forest Academy's investigation, this is the real reason why these people disappeared.
So all the high-ranking members of the Green Forest Academy gathered together to discuss how to obtain this SS Grade Soul Crystal.
Soul Crystal of this level are invaluable treasures that the entire academy's leadership cannot afford to part with.
What they're arguing about now is who will go and seize this priceless treasure.
It can be said that at this moment, all the top leaders of the Green Forest Academy have gathered together.
But the next moment, a terrible change suddenly occurred. The entire building where the Green Forest Academy conference room was located sank into the ground and plunged into a bottomless pit.
Then the entire sinkhole collapsed, and the original cave was covered by the collapsed rocks and soil, leaving only a huge sinkhole.
All the high-ranking officials of the Green Forest Academy were thus plunged into an unknown underground place.
The unexpected turn of events threw the entire Green Forest Academy into chaos.
High-ranking officials from a nearby large base, along with powerful families and military forces, immediately rushed to provide support.
The reason why the aristocratic families came was simple: the higher-ups of the Green Forest Academy were basically all from these powerful families.
This academy is safe, has abundant resources, and offers opportunities to expand your high-level network.
After all, the best connection between students taught by the academy is if even one or two stand out and become strong.
The teacher-student relationship is a valuable one in any era.
Such a prime position was naturally not to be missed by powerful families. The academy's higher-ups, and even some of the teachers in the top classes, all came from powerful families.
The recent incident involving high-ranking members of the Green Forest Academy signifies a loss of the hidden power of powerful clans.
"What's going on? How could a sinkhole occur in a place like this?"
The patriarch of the Wang family frowned as he watched the base's reconnaissance team searching the sinkhole.
Although he asked that question, he didn't believe it was really just an accident.
The entire leadership of Qinglin was gathered for a meeting when a sinkhole occurred. A Diamond Rank expert dean and dozens of Gold Rank beast tamers were trapped underground. Can you believe something so absurd?
Diamond Rank expert, with just their physical strength, could shatter hundreds of meters of earth with a single punch; how could they be created by a mere pit?
"Judging from the terrain, it is indeed a sudden natural subsidence. However, as far as I know, Green Forest Academy underwent an investigation when it was established, and the geology here is not capable of causing such a subsidence. It seems that a powerful figure has taken action against the higher-ups of the Green Forest Academy."
The patriarch of the Nangong Noble Family also arrived, he added.
"Judging from their actions, they resolved the issue in an instant, and the fact that they held such a rushed meeting clearly indicates that they discovered something!"
The patriarch of the ancient family only said half of what he meant, but the meaning was clear: the higher-ups of the Green Forest Academy had discovered a treasure that had captured their hearts, or perhaps some kind of fortuitous opportunity.
Moreover, these treasures or opportunities are very rare and extremely helpful to beast tamers.
They wanted to keep it all for themselves, which is why they didn't inform their own powerful families, because if the families knew about it, they wouldn't get a share.
There aren't many things that could arouse such greed in the higher-ups of the Green Forest Academy.
The patriarchs of several powerful families quickly came up with some ideas and swiftly identified a particular treasure.
Soul Crystal!
Only Soul Crystal are the treasures that all Beast Tamers crave and are unwilling to give up.
Moreover, they are usually not numerous; typically only one is born.
They had already made a judgment: the higher-ups at the Green Forest Academy had received news about the Soul Crystal Soul Crystal, and another force had also learned about it.
The opponent was very powerful and had a deep plan, so the higher-ups of the Green Forest Academy were taken down by them beforehand.
While the investigators were examining the ruins, one of them suddenly discovered an inconspicuous little bottle. Inside the bottle was a note with a line of text written on it.
"The higher-ups at the Green Forest Academy have found a clue to SS Grade Soul Crystal!"
Upon seeing this, he immediately took it without hesitation and handed it to the head of the investigation bureau.
The bureau chief, a Gold Rank expert, glanced at the note, immediately destroyed it, and then made an excuse to leave with the investigator.
But at that moment, he was surrounded by military reinforcements and several clan leaders.
Clearly, they weren't going to let this lead slip by, and the lead lay with the investigator.
Seeing this, the head of the investigation department suddenly attacked the investigator who had found the clue, wanting to ensure that there was no way to verify the story.
With that palm strike carrying a hidden poison, this man was doomed.
However, the man was saved by a general from the military. The general conjured water into ice, forming an ice wall that blocked the man's attack.
" Director Wu, how could you lay a hand on your own subordinate?"
"This person is a spy from another race who infiltrated our investigation department. His soul has been silently controlled. Now that something has happened here, I don't intend to leave this threat behind!"
He didn't stop; his attacks became even more ruthless.
Several clan leaders shouted, " Director Wu, we'll help you arrest him too!" But they precisely separated Director Wu from the investigator and cleverly used the aftershocks of the battle to send him far away, giving him a chance to escape.
The investigator never expected that his own chief would be so ruthless, immediately turning against him when things went wrong.
Moreover, he himself had become a hidden alien spy, without even realizing it.
But he also understood that if he leaked the information now, he would really die.
At that time, the Lineage who saved him will sit idly by and watch as Director Wu takes his anger out on him and kills him.
As long as he still possesses the secrets about SS Grade Soul Crystal, he will still be valuable to these powerful individuals.
"General, I want to become one of your soldiers!"
The man reacted immediately, and the general detained him on the grounds that the matter needed further investigation.
Subsequently, the military at the base also learned of the appearance of the SS Grade Soul Crystal.
While they were engaged in open and covert struggles, the beast tamers, who were specifically responsible for underground operations, had already completed their reconnaissance after escaping underground.
"Report: The underground conference building has been found, but everyone inside has vanished! Furthermore, a toxic fog has formed there, preventing us from entering to investigate the details of the disappearance of the Green Forest Academy's high-ranking officials!"
"It seems we need a beast tamer who can deal with the poisonous fog!"
At this point, Director Wu, who had already reached a temporary cooperation agreement with several other parties, naturally knew that this matter was far from simple.
The power that could make a Diamond Rank beast tamer disappear so silently was beyond his ability to cope.
Cooperating with the military and several powerful families to take on the mines doesn't seem like a difficult choice.
But while they were engaged in their open and covert struggles, they were unaware that several lamps made of Soul Crystal in the basic core area near the Green Forest Academy had suddenly gone out.
That's a high-level Soul Lamp, capable of indicating the life status of the base's higher-ups.
The extinguishing of the Soul Lamp signifies that these high-ranking members of the Green Forest Academy have completely perished, with no possibility of survival.
Several days later, the investigations by various parties into the Soul Crystal yielded no progress, as if the Soul Crystal were merely an illusion.
They found the location indicated by the Soul Crystal clues, but there they discovered only an empty box.
Ultimately, this whole ordeal had no beginning or end.
But nobody knows that Jiang Ziliu was behind it all!
He had A Kun use the power of the Earth Avatar to create a cavity deep within the earth, and then activated the Earth Sinking after all the high-ranking members of the Green Forest Academy gathered. At the same time, he used Soul Storm to stun those high-ranking members of the Green Forest Academy.
They fell along with the entire conference building, and were eventually taken away by Jiang Ziliu.
Then Jiang Ziliu wiped them all out in the small world of the Dwarf King's Hammer and buried them in the fertile land there.
He had no intention of keeping his enemy around for the New Year.
Jiang Ziliu used Soul Crystal as a catalyst to gather and completely eliminate his first batch of enemies!
