At this mont, the sound of engines gradually approached, appearing in everyone’s line of sight. Seeing the military transport vehicles, all the martial artists froze. After a brief stunned silence, they imdiately beca alert, quickly forming a circle and looking at the newcors with caution.
Soon, the military transport vehicles drove closer and slowly ca to a stop. The car door opened, and a young man jumped down from the passenger seat, smiling broadly at the crowd, "Everyone, we et again."
Seeing the young man in the car, everyone was taken aback, exclaiming, "Why is it you?"
Ling Chen smiled and said, "Don’t you wish it were ? I know you’ve been through a lot of hardships, so I deliberately brought food and water. If you’re not happy to see , then I’ll take my leave."
Upon hearing about food and water, everyone’s eyes lit up. They hurriedly surrounded Ling Chen, impatiently asking, "Ling Chen, where’s the water... the water?"
Ling Chen waved his hand, and several young n jumped down from the military transport vehicles, gradually unloading food and water from the vehicles. In no ti, the food and water Ling Chen brought were swept clean by over two hundred martial artists.
After everyone had rested and regained much of their spirits, a middle-aged man stood up, took the initiative to walk over to Ling Chen, clasped his hands together, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Ling, for saving us."
"You’re welco. I just did what I should do."
"Mr. Ling, how much further until we leave this desert?"
"About seventy or eighty kiloters."
"That far?" The middle-aged man was astonished, "We’ve been traveling for so long..."
Ling Chen replied, "I know. However, you’re heading in the wrong direction. If you continue along your previous route, you’ll only delve deeper into the desert. If I hadn’t arrived in ti, you wouldn’t survive past tomorrow."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man asked in confusion, "Mr. Ling, how did you know we were here? And... weren’t you supposed to be with us?"
Ling Chen shook his head and said, "This isn’t sothing you should worry about. What you should be concerned about now is the Heavenly chanism Pavilion."
"What do you an?"
"Su He casually let you go without specifying a direction, clearly wanting you to blindly head to your doom."
The middle-aged man pondered for a while, nodded, and said, "You’re right. After entering the desert, the Heavenly chanism Pavilion’s attitude towards us beca increasingly indifferent, and eventually, they ignored us completely. Honestly, I’m puzzled as to why the Heavenly chanism Pavilion would do such a thing."
"The reason is simple. Su He wants you dead."
"Why?"
"If you want to know why, why not co with ?" With that, Ling Chen said no more and directly boarded the transport vehicle.
After passing on the ssage, the middle-aged man hesitated for a mont, and gradually everyone got into the vehicles. After half an hour’s drive, the convoy finally returned to the base. Upon arrival, Ling Chen imdiately arranged for everyone to a relatively spacious warehouse.
By this ti, Tong Zhentian and others were already waiting in the warehouse. Seeing Tong Zhentian there, the crowd seed to have found their backbone, huddling around to ask questions, wanting to clarify the reason. "Alright, everyone quiet down, I will explain the situation shortly."
Upon hearing this, the noisy warehouse gradually quieted down, and everyone’s attention focused on Tong Zhentian.
Tong Zhentian glanced around at the crowd, cleared his throat, and said loudly, "I believe everyone is confused about this operation. To be honest, this operation is actually a plot laid out by the Heavenly chanism Pavilion... To be precise, it’s Su He’s sche. His goal is simple: to bury all present in the desert."
"Elder Tong, do you have any evidence for saying this? Elder Su is a martial arts magnate like you, why would he do such a thing?"
"Because of the Skyhawk Pavilion," Tong Zhentian said lightly. "As is well known, we’ve co all this way to eliminate the Skyhawk Pavilion that has been causing trouble in the martial arts world. However, you may not know that the Skyhawk Pavilion was actually established by Su He, specifically to carry out certain shady activities for him."
Tong Zhentian paused, looking at the group of astonished people, waiting for them to digest the news before continuing, "I believe everyone has received records of the havoc caused by the Skyhawk Pavilion over the years. Many have fallen victim to them. When the Dragon Tiger Hall learned of this, they imdiately launched an investigation and found that each action taken by the Skyhawk Pavilion was related to Su He."
At this point, Tong Zhentian signaled to Ling Chen. The latter understood, distributing over a dozen pages of prepared parchnt to the crowd.
"Please look at these, everyone. These are the original docunts we’ve found, containing records of Skyhawk Pavilion’s actions and signatures. You only need to compare the handwriting to know whether what I say is true."
"So the Heavenly chanism Pavilion and the Skyhawk Pavilion have been colluding all along," soone said indignantly.
"We’ve been blind. If only we had known earlier, we should have united and destroyed the Heavenly chanism Pavilion back then."
As voices of resentnt rose, Ling Chen stepped forward and spoke, "Everyone, this matter is not related to the Heavenly chanism Pavilion."
Everyone paused, looking at Ling Chen with confusion, asking, "What do you an? Haven’t you all said this was Su He’s doing? Why say it has nothing to do with the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, isn’t that contradictory?"
Ling Chen smiled slightly and explained, "Everyone, Su He is Su He, and the Heavenly chanism Pavilion is the Heavenly chanism Pavilion. Please do not confuse the two. Although Su He was the old Pavilion Master of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, the current Pavilion Master is only one, and that is Su i, who alone represents the entire Heavenly chanism Pavilion. Moreover, to hide his cris and continue living freely, Su He imprisoned his granddaughter and seized control of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, even using Master Su’s na to make the Heavenly chanism Pavilion’s people collude with him. Therefore, we need only take action against Su He and the Skyhawk Pavilion, not include the Heavenly chanism Pavilion. Please do not mix this up."
A few days ago, Ling Chen reached an agreent with Su i to allow the Heavenly chanism Pavilion to continue to exist, on the condition that the Skyhawk Pavilion be eradicated. Hence, he had to say this to avoid everyone’s anger being directed at the Heavenly chanism Pavilion.
"Mr. Ling, this is just your word; how do you know the Heavenly chanism Pavilion and Su He aren’t in cahoots? Don’t forget, Su He and Su i are family, would Su i really go against her grandfather?"
"That makes sense, I also think that the Heavenly chanism Pavilion can’t be exonerated from involvent in this matter."
As the crowd continued discussing, Ling Chen raised his hand to calm everyone down.
"I understand everyone’s suspicion of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, but I can assure you. Even if you don’t believe , you should trust Elder Tong."
