<h4>Chapter 1063: Chapter 1070: Encountering Enemies in the Forest</h4>


    "What have you guessed?" The plump old man looked at Su He, his expression still maintaining a smile. However, a hint of coldness and sinister intent shone in his cloudy eyes.


    "You killed my son and daughter-inw just to force me out, then take the opportunity to ambush me and put me to death."


    "Haha! Elder Su, it seems I underestimated you. You’re right, we were the ones who killed your son and daughter-inw. There was no other way, you’ve been missing for so long without any word. To force you out, we had to use extreme measures. But how do you know it wasn’t done by your son’s enemies?"


    "I know Zhengyang’s character the best; he wouldn’t easily stir up trouble. Besides, he was the former Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. Any smart person wouldn’t trouble him unless their background was even stronger than the Pavilion. So your real target isn’t me, but the entire Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."


    "Elder Su, you’ve guessed right again!" The plump old man squinted his eyes, grinning as he said, "The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was established singlehandedly by your Su Family’s ancestors, and many secrets are known only to the Su Family. Before your son died, I tried asking him about them, but unfortunately, he had a tight mouth and wouldn’t say a word. If he’d cooperated, perhaps I would have spared his life."


    "What secrets do you want to know?" Su He asked.


    "Who is the person in the Yangxin Pavilion? I want to know his identity. As long as you tell me, I promise not to bother the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion again."


    Yangxin Pavilion?


    Upon hearing the plump old man’s words, Ling Chen’s heart stirred, and a hint of doubt appeared in his eyes. He knew all the elders in the Yangxin Pavilion, but except for Du Kang, everyone else was an expert on the Earthly List. It didn’t seem like these people wouldunch such a grand operation for an Earthly List expert. Suddenly, a sh of insight crossed Ling Chen’s mind.


    That’s it! He almost forgot, behind the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, there is a valley where the Yangxin Pavilion was originally built. Now, two people live in that valley, one of whom is a youth about his age. At that time, Huang Zheng and Liang Tian fought fiercely to take him as a disciple, and it was that youth who intervened and stopped them. Not only that, but the youth also severely reprimanded the two of them.


    Huang Zheng and Liang Tian had been in the Yangxin Pavilion for quite some time, considered veterans. However, faced with the youth’s reprimand, the two veterans didn’t dare to retort but obediently listened. When Ling Chen saw this scene, he was extremely shocked and became increasingly curious about the youth’s identity.


    However,ter on, when he asked several people, everyone was evasive about the youth’s identity, not daring to say a word. Thus, Ling Chen’s curiosity about the youth’s identity grew even more.


    As far as he knew, besides the youth, there was another person living in that valley, but Ling Chen had never met them. Perhaps the person the plump old man mentioned was that mysterious figure who had never appeared.


    After pondering for a moment, Su He replied calmly, "I don’t understand who you’re talking about. If you want to meet someone from the Yangxin Pavilion, just give your name, and I’ll surely arrange a meeting for you."


    Hearing this, the smile on the plump old man’s face gradually faded, "Elder Su, why pretend to be ignorant in front of me? Besides you, I’m afraid no one knows that person’s true identity."


    "I truly don’t know who you’re referring to. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do."


    "Alright!" nodded the plump old man, "Since that’s the case, there’s no need for us to continue this conversation. Elder Su, I gave you a chance, but you didn’t cherish it. In that case, you can’t me me for destroying the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."


    "You’d need the skills to do that," Su He replied fearlessly.


    "Attack!" With a cold shout from the plump old man, his subordinates immediately charged towards Su He and Ling Chen. As the iron in their hands gradually tightened, the area for Ling Chen and Su He to move shrank to about three meters. Moreover, the giant iron was several meters high, making it almost impossible to jump out.


    Ling Chen knew clearly that these people came for Su He and must have prepared in advance. It’s not easy to deal with a Heavenly List expert, let alone someone like Su He, who had been famous for many years.


    Faced with the group’s assault, Su He looked on expressionlessly, showing no intention of making a move. Suddenly, outside the iron, more than a dozen men took out bottles and tossed them inside. As the bottles shattered on the ground, a powder wafted into the air around them.


    "Ling Chen, be careful!"


    At Su He’s reminder, Ling Chen nodded and quickly covered his nose, holding his breath. He didn’t know what the powder was for, but if it was used against a Heavenly List expert, it couldn’t be simple.


    As he was pondering, Su He took a step forward, raising his arms and slowly swinging them. With his movements, Ling Chen visibly sensed the flow of air around him.


    This... is this... Inner Strength?


    Ling Chen was secretly shocked; Su He could actually use Inner Strength to alter the airflow, which was incredibly powerful.


    Soon, the powder diffused in the air seemed to be summoned, gathering between Su He’s hands to form a sphere. Then, with a flick of Su He’s wrist, the sphere shot out towards the people outside the iron.


    Boom!


    When the sphere exploded, the powder dispersed, falling on those people. Some who couldn’t dodge in time inhaled the powder through their nostrils. Suddenly, their faces turned red as if they were on fire, and they fell to the ground rolling and screaming in agony.


    Seeing half of his subordinates incapacitated, the plump old man’s face darkened, realizing that Su He’s move was beyond his expectations.


    "Old Su, I couldn’t see, after all these years, your skills have only improved."


    "Nothing much, would you like to try?"


    "I..." The plump old man opened his mouth, ready to reply. But at this moment, a man suddenly appeared from the woods nearby. He walked quickly to the plump old man’s side and whispered a few words. Whatever he said caused a noticeable change in the plump old man’s expression.


    "Old Su, today you got lucky. But remember, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will eventually fall into our hands." With that, the plump old man waved his hand and lightlymanded, "Retreat!"


    Watching them leave, Ling Chen asked, "Elder Su, aren’t you going to chase them?"


    "There’s no need."


    As they spoke, a series of hurried footsteps approached from one end of the woods. As the footsteps grew louder, Ling Chen finally saw who wasing. Leading the group was Han Qi, followed by dozens of Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Disciples.


    "Elder Su!" Upon seeing Su He, Han Qi’s expression was extremely excited.
