The power of the Human Race's upper echelons descended, and the flow of energy between heaven and earth was suddenly sealed off.
In other words, at this very moment, the people in this area are no longer able to absorb Dark Energy from the heavens and earth.
Jiang Ziliu saw it; a five-colored crystal was floating in the sky, surrounded by three Diamond Rank beast tamers.
He recognized the crystal; it was recorded in the knowledge of rare treasures taught in the Forging Throne.
This jade is called Origin-Sealing Meteorite Crystal.
It originates from certain special meteorites and can seal the Dark Energy between heaven and earth, preventing it from being absorbed by humans—a treasure similar to a magic-sealing stone.
In order to deal with the Jiang Family, the Human Race's high command also took drastic measures, using powerful treasures.
Under the influence of the Origin-Sealing Meteorite Crystal, all beast tamers within a ten-degree radius of this area can only use their own stored Dark Energy, and cannot draw upon or absorb the free Dark Energy circulating in the world.
It served to greatly limit those who were locked down.
Jiang Ziliu, from a great distance, also saw the forces involved in the operation.
One thousand Gold Rank flying beasts were distributed across the sky, and five thousand nine-star Silver Rank land beasts were also distributed across the ground, completely sealing off the Jiang Family's fortress.
The upper echelons of the Human Race are truly formidable; they unleash tremendous power with a single move.
This army, named the Azure Dragon Martial Guard, is one of the eight most powerful beast tamer armies in the Human Race's Chang'an Main Base.
The Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Black Tortoise are the four guardians specifically tasked with suppressing unstable forces within the Human Race, including rebellious clans, powerful bandits roaming the wilderness, and alien forces emerging from various bases.
Their main battleground is inside the base cluster.
These four military guards are divided into two parts: the Upper Guard and the Lower Guard.
The Upper Guard consists of Gold Rank Beast Tamers as ordinary members, Seven-star to Eight-Star Gold Rank Beast Tamers as captains of ten, and Nine-Star Gold Rank Beast Tamers as captains of a hundred.
Their number is one thousand.
The Lower Martial Guard is composed entirely of Nine-Star Silver Rank beast tamers, numbering around five thousand.
Each of them had undergone rigorous training, and their fighting spirit and morale were extremely high.
More importantly, they are treated very well and receive many rare resources.
The main members of these four martial guards are also beast tamers with top-notch talent, whose growth potential has reached its limit.
They either strive to obtain better and rarer resources for their children, or they seek to exchange for treasures that can help them break through their own talents.
Talent has its limits, but that doesn't mean growth has truly reached its limit.
The military also has methods for people to continuously break through their limits and grow stronger, but the process is extremely demanding and requires special resources.
The fact that the four great guardians—Azure Dragon, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise—are so powerful that they were able to send a force to the Jiang Family demonstrates the importance that the Human Race's upper echelons place on them.
The other four military forces at Chang'an Base are the four great guards: Qiongqi, Taotie, Hundun, and Taowu.
These four forces are even more exaggerated.
They consist of three thousand Gold Rank Beastmaster Upper Guards and fifty thousand Silver Rank Beastmaster Lower Guards.
These four forces are named after legendary ferocious beasts and are mainly used to deal with alien races from other realms, to conquer Dungeon Space, and even to attack the alien races' lair.
Jiang Ziliu looked at the Azure Dragon Martial Guard and noticed that the birds and beasts had missing feathers and even scratches on their claws from battles.
This is clearly an army that has been battle-hardened for a long time.
While Jiang Ziliu was observing, his eyes suddenly widened as he spotted two familiar faces in the army.
One of them was his former teacher, Li Qingcheng.
This stunning beauty is actually a Nine-Star Gold Rank beast tamer, and also a centurion of the Azure Dragon Martial Guard.
He finally understood where the terrifying Sha Qi emanating from Li Qingcheng when they first met came from.
It turned out that she was actually a centurion of the Azure Dragon Martial Guard, a veteran of many battles.
Among the Nine-Star Silver Rank beast tamers on the ground, he saw his old classmate, Li Wanqiu, with whom he used to have a fairly good relationship!
This exceptionally talented girl has already reached the Nine-Star Silver Rank, which is quite rapid.
Moreover, for some unknown reason, the other party joined the Azure Dragon Guard's lower guard and became an ordinary soldier within it.
Jiang Ziliu guessed that the other party's rapid growth was probably inseparable from the treatment he received from the Azure Dragon Guard.
As an army, the Azure Dragon Guard certainly craves geniuses.
Li Qingcheng made preparations early on, naturally bringing Li Wanqiu into her Azure Dragon Guard, both to take care of her and to train her.
My old classmate's former gentle beauty has now been replaced by resilience and Sha Qi.
Clearly, Li Wanqiu has also experienced many life-or-death battles and has grown into a formidable, battle-hardened warrior.
Li Wanqiu's rapid growth was not unexpected by Jiang Ziliu.
He could only lament how quickly time flies; Li Wanqiu is now over 30 and looks much older.
Beauty fears the passing of time, but battles only hasten aging.
Li Wanqiu was unaware of Jiang Ziliu's feelings. If she saw Jiang Ziliu, who still looked like he was eighteen, she would definitely be filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.
Jiang Ziliu is growing rapidly and steadily, and its lifespan is constantly increasing.
Although Li Wanqiu was in the same situation, the years of fighting had etched the marks of time on her face.
She already looks a bit like someone entering middle age.
Jiang Ziliu had no intention of greeting his teachers or classmates; he remained hidden, observing from afar.
The only people sent to deal with the natural termination of the Jiang Family's power were the three commanders of the Azure Dragon Martial Guard, who were three Diamond Rank experts.
Furthermore, the Human Race's upper echelons sent ten Diamond Rank beast tamers as support to ensure that no Jiang Family could escape from the perimeter.
Clearly, the Human Race's upper echelons take the issue of smuggling the Descend to the Mortal World Pill very seriously and will not make any exceptions for the Jiang Family.
When this force appeared, the Green Forest Base was inexplicably placed under martial law.
The Green Forest Base allowed entry but not exit, and some people were arrested. Clearly, those who had been opening the door wide for the Jiang Family have been punished.
However, the treatment of aristocratic families is different. If the Jiang Family were smuggling the Descend to the Mortal World Pill, they would at most receive a warning and would not face such a large-scale operation.
The siege began quickly, and they swiftly breached the energy shield of the base, which had been modified by the Jiang Family.
Then came the massive encirclement and slaughter.
All those who resisted were killed. Those who surrendered were fitted with Dark Energy sealing devices, Divine Power sealing devices, and special beast-taming sealing devices, giving them no chance to resist.
This was a completely crushing battle.
Whether in terms of martial arts skills, combat experience, or strength, the Azure Dragon Martial Guard demonstrated overwhelming power against the Jiang Family's experts.
Those Gold Rank beast tamers joined forces and even suppressed the Diamond Rank beast tamers who were in the public eye.
The Diamond Rank beast tamer of the Jiang Family did not have a strong desire to rebel.
They retaliated only to open a passage for escape; they had no intention of staying in the SS Grade base.
Because that would be tantamount to imprisoning oneself.
Jiang Ziliu already possessed the means to Forging Throne, and secretly sealed off the exit at the other end of the SS Grade Dungeon Space.
He caused a spatial turbulence to emerge at the moment he activated it.
This spatial turbulence only lasts for about five days, but it can affect the stability of the exit position of the Dungeon Space passage.
Forcing passage would almost certainly result in certain death.
This method is usually just a minor inconvenience that will subside on its own.
However, it became a fatal problem when the Jiang Family members tried to escape.
This means that their chances of escaping from that end are gone; they can only leave from the Blue Water Star side.
If you stay in the Dungeon Space and stubbornly defend it, you'll be trapped and beaten like a dog, and that's truly the end.
The Azure Dragon Martial Guard have plenty of ways to forcibly enter an SS Grade Dungeon Space.
The Jiang Family's higher-ups acted decisively. After the encirclement began, realizing that it was likely due to the smuggling of the Descend to the Mortal World Pill, they quickly began their evacuation.
However, a massive battle formation of a thousand Gold Rank beast tamers held them back.
Meanwhile, the Diamond Rank commanders of the Azure Dragon Martial Guard were in no hurry to make a move, letting their subordinates wear down their strength first.
The sky was filled with the devastating aftershocks of a missile explosion.
That scene was far more powerful than any modern weapon bombing.
Only after these Diamond Rank powerhouses had been nearly exhausted did these Diamond Rank commanders launch their fatal attack.
Meanwhile, the Gold Rank experts of the Jiang Family faced an attack from five thousand nine-star Silver Rank Azure Dragon Martial Guard.
The weak attack the strong, the many attack the few, and finally the strong deliver the fatal blow.
This is the true fighting style of the Azure Dragon Martial Guard.
Strong individuals were also present to protect the members of the Azure Dragon Martial Guard from death and to guard against anyone escaping by special means.
This fighting style also served to train his subordinates.
What could be a better training ground for combat than facing a stronger opponent of a higher realm?
Jiang Ziliu realized that the appearance of the Azure Dragon Martial Guard this time was not an encirclement and suppression operation, but a training activity.
The powerful members of the Jiang Family tried to beg for mercy, but they were not spared and were all killed.
Only beast tamers below the Gold Rank can be treated as prisoners.
This encirclement and annihilation battle lasted less than half a day before it ended, and then the members of the Azure Dragon Martial Guard began to get excited.
They began searching the Jiang Family's wealth.
According to the rules, those who find wealth can keep 20% as a reward, but in practice, no one knows what good things anyone has taken.
However, the three commanders of the Azure Dragon Guard, along with more than ten Diamond Rank experts who were there as support, were enraged.
Although not a single member of the Jiang Family had fled, the Jiang family's treasure trove, accumulated over hundreds of years, was completely empty, as if it had been swept clean by robbers.
The Azure Dragon Martial Guard managed to seize this opportunity for encirclement and suppression amidst fierce competition among the four guards.
As the saying goes, "Confiscating property and exterminating the entire clan leads to great wealth!"
This statement remains highly relevant in this day and age.
They were willing to take on this mission, even vying for it, because they were drawn by the accumulated wealth and power of a prestigious family over countless years.
As a result, they found only some peripheral resources.
The real wealth had already been stolen by a mysterious figure before the invasion even occurred.
They also noticed the unusual spatial turbulence interference at the other end of the Dungeon Space, and remembered the mysterious report. They hadn't yet realized that they had been used as pawns, and that others had taken all the benefits.
Enraged, the Azure Dragon Martial Guard and Diamond experts immediately launched a full investigation into the whistleblower.
But Jiang Ziliu was too cunning; not only did he run away, but he also left behind very little useful information.
This time, the Azure Dragon Martial Guard are destined to have made a losing proposition!
