<h4>Chapter 1274: Chapter 1582: Nighttime Infiltration of Tianji (1)</h4>


    "During this period, martial artists from all over the country have been responding, wanting to join the temporary alliance formed by Dragon Tiger Hall to jointly crusade against Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion under Elder Tong’s leadership. The martial artists from Jinhai City can be considered our allies. The main purpose of their meeting at the hotel this time was to recruit more people to join us. However, no one expected such a thing to happen suddenly, all martial artists present were burned to death without exception."


    "Impossible!" Ling Chen frowned and said, "They are all trained fighters, how could an average fire trap them? Moreover, not a single survivor, that’s too coincidental."


    "Indeed!" He Ziyun nodded and said, "Because of this, I summoned all of you here. It’s clear that people from Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion took action, this is a reminder and a warning. Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion wants all martial artists to know that anyone opposing Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will not have a good end. Just now, I received several calls from people. Although not very explicit, they subtly expressed their intention to withdraw from the alliance."


    "Humph!" Tang Guolun said disdainfully, "They are all cowards who only think about their own safety."


    "I think we need to speed up." Qiu Yong said gravely, "If Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion continues like this, this alliance will eventually copse. While everyone is still united, we should quickly start a war against Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."


    "Now is not the time to start." Ling Chen said, "Compared to Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, we are far outnumbered. Also, Elder Tong’s health has not recovered, we have effectively lost a Heavenly List master, which is very disadvantageous to us." Ling Chen paused, then continued, "Besides, we need a legitimate reason."


    "Correct." Tong Zhentian chimed in, "Starting a war against Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion cannot just be done with a bunch of people surrounding them. We must find a suitable reason. Although I previously stated that Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is a hindrance to martial arts development, that is not a reason, it’s too far-fetched, making it seem like our Dragon Tiger Hall wants to usurp."


    "Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion hasmitted many evils in the past. As long as we find evidence of this, not only will it be legitimate, but it can also evoke a sense of justice in people’s hearts, attracting more martial artists to join us."


    As Xu Ming finished speaking, he immediately received unanimous agreement from everyone.


    However, having a target is one thing, finding evidence is a problem that needs solving. Ling Chen looked at Xu Ming beside him and asked, "Second brother, you know Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion well, do you have any good suggestions?"


    Xu Ming pondered for a moment and said, "Over the years, Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has secretly eliminated dissidents, anyone who opposed Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had a bad ending. Either their entire household was exterminated or they were sunk to the bottom of ake, not a single survivor, it will be difficult to find a witness. Personally, I think it’s best to start with Skyhawk Pavilion. Skyhawk Pavilion specifically does some unspeakable tasks for Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, and they have detailed records of each mission. If we can find that record and make it public, Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will be doomed."


    Upon hearing this, Tong Zhentian and others looked at Xu Ming with a touch of surprise.


    "Mr. Xu, how do you know so much about these things?"


    Xu Ming said lightly, "I have some connections with Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, so I know some things others don’t."


    "Second brother," Ling Chen asked impatiently, "since you know Skyhawk Pavilion, do you know where it is located?"


    "I’m not sure about that." Xu Ming said, "The only thing I can confirm is that Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion definitely keeps records of every action by Skyhawk Pavilion, and these records are very important, usually kept by the Pavilion Master themselves. Ling Chen, you know quite a few friends within Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, maybe you could ask them for help."


    "Second brother, you want me to make a trip to Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?"


    "That’s right! You are the most suitable candidate. As long as you find that record, Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will definitely be defeated." Xu Ming’s tone was confident.


    Ling Chen hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, since this is the only way, I will make a trip."


    "Sixth brother, don’t worry, we will go with you." Qiu Yong said.


    Xu Ming shook his head and said, "Big brother, we have more important things to do, this matter can only be entrusted to the sixth brother." Xu Ming paused, then continued, "Before sixth brother enters Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, we need to create some conditions for him, try to attract Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s attention so they don’t focus on their own affairs."


    "Mr. Xu, whatever n you have, feel free to tell us, and we will fully cooperate with you." He Ziyun said.


    "You just need to gather a hundred martial artists in a short time; I’ll handle the rest."


    He Ziyun nced at Tong Zhentian, and seeing no objection from thetter, he nodded slightly and said, "No problem. Within three days, I’ll help you gather enough manpower."


    ...


    Two days have passed in the blink of an eye.


    Late at night, the forest, which had just been drenched by rain, was full of dew, slowly dropping down the leaves one by one.


    In the darkness, a shadow navigated the forest quickly. Shielded by dense leaves and overcast night skies, the forest was pitch ck, impossible to see one’s hand in front of their face. Suddenly, the moving shadow lunged forward, diving onto the ground, using the surrounding weeds to cover its body, leaving only a pair of eyes staring intently ahead.


    Soon, within twenty meters away, two blurry figures appeared. The two silhouettes walked slowly along the forest, asionally looking around as if searching for something. After a while, a man’s voice said, "It’s safe here, let’s go check over there."


    "Okay." Thepanion replied, and the two quickly headed south.


    Only when their figures disappeared from sight did the shadow in the grass slowly stand up. However, he did not rush to leave but climbed a nearby big tree quickly. Just then, the two figures returned again, carefully checking around once more. "Let’s go; there shouldn’t be anyone here."


    Watching them gradually disappear, the figure on the tree branch breathed a slight sigh of relief. "Damn! These guys are getting craftier."


    After descending the tree, the shadow moved stealthily along the grass again. After a quarter of an hour, he finally reached aplex of buildings on the edge of a cliff.


    "Whew... finally here." Ling Chen breathed lightly. To sneak into Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s territory, he avoided ten waves of obvious and dark posts in total. It seems Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has realized its own crisis and has strengthened its outer defenses.
