<h4>Chapter 1282: Chapter 1590: Self-Sacrifice</h4>


    After getting the item, everyone didn’t stay and rushed back to East Sea City overnight. Upon returning to Dragon Tiger Hall, Tang Guolun and Hu Fei and others immediately came over.


    "Ling Chen, you were right, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion indeed made a big move. However, luckily, we had arrangements in ce beforehand, preventing them from seeding."


    Hearing Hu Fei’s words, Ling Chen nodded. Before the action, he had anticipated that the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion would definitely react strongly because the records concerned the fate of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, and they would not let it go easily. In East Sea City, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had long arranged for people to secretly monitor Dragon Tiger Hall’s every move.


    Once they seeded, Su He would definitely take action and have East Sea City’s people make a move. Therefore, he told Hu Fei and Tang Guolun to prepare in advance.


    "Ling Cheng, how do you n to use those records?" Qiu Yong asked.


    Ling Chen thought for a moment and said, "If I’m not mistaken, Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will soon send people to East Sea City. We must deal with these records quickly to let everyone know what Skyhawk Pavilion has done."


    "The inte." Hu Fei chimed in: "This is the fastest method. Give me the phone numbers of those people and I can send a copy of the records to them. By then, it will spread from one to ten, from ten to a hundred, and the whole martial artsmunity will see these records. Even if Su He wants to stop it, it’ll be toote."


    "That’s a good idea." Ling Chen nodded and said, "Alright, let’s do it."


    Without caring about the overnight rush, everyone copied all the records onto theputer, organized them into files, and sent them out. However, before sending, Ling Chen had Hu Fei make a small modification, removing the signatures of Su Mu, Su He, and Su Zhengyang from the electronic files.


    He had an agreement with Su Mei to try and preserve the existence of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. If the martial artsmunity saw these signatures, they would surely vent their anger on the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. By then, the oue for the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion would be destruction.


    So, after discussion, everyone decided to let the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion off the hook and focus primarily on the Skyhawk Pavilion. Doing this had two benefits; the first was to fulfill the agreement with Su Mei. Additionally, there was another extremely important reason.


    The strength of Skyhawk Pavilion was undeniable; over the years, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had maintained its position as the martial arts overlord thanks to Skyhawk Pavilion. Therefore, if they fought head-on with Skyhawk Pavilion, it would certainly cause significant casualties. However, separating the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion and Skyhawk Pavilion and treating Skyhawk Pavilion as a single evil force to deal with, then Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had no excuse not to act. As the martial arts overlord and peacekeeper, it must take the lead.


    Moreover, even if Su He was unwilling, he had to do this. Only then could he allow the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to continue surviving unless he wanted to see it destroyed. However, knowing Su He’s character, he would never make that choice.


    Having the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion deal with Skyhawk Pavilion would not only eliminate Skyhawk Pavilion but also deplete the living forces of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, which is undoubtedly beneficial.


    "Phew! Finally done." Ling Chen leaned against the chair, exhaustion written all over his face. At this time, dawn had broken, and everyone had been busy for over ten hours without closing their eyes.


    "Brother, why don’t you go rest first."


    "What if Su He takes action against us?" Qiu Yong said with concern, "We should wait and see."


    "Brother, don’t worry, it’s fine. The materials have already been sent out, and with Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s intelligence capabilities, they’ll receive the materials quickly. By this time, it’s toote for them to stop it. Just wait and see; I believe Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion will respond soon."


    Seeing Ling Chen’s confident demeanor, everyone nodded and returned to their rooms to rest.


    They slept until four in the afternoon when Ling Chen was awakened by a knock on the door. Rubbing his sleepy eyes, Ling Chen opened the door and saw Yuan Yun outside, yawning as he said, "Third Brother, what’s up?"


    Yuan Yun grinned, "Ling Cheng, you really are perceptive. Just now, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has openly dered war against Skyhawk Pavilion, hoping all martial arts practitioners will join their ranks. We’ve also received an invitation."


    "Just this?" Ling Chenughed and said, "I expected this. It’s the only choice for the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. Su He is a clever man. To protect the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, he has to make some sacrifices. Alright, Third Brother, if there’s nothing else, I’m going back to sleep."


    "Wait!" Yuan Yun grabbed Ling Chen, who was about to return, and said, "There’s no time to sleep now. People from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion are already outside, and they’ve asked us to go over now."


    "Now?" Ling Chen was surprised, "So soon?"


    "That’s right, Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion has invited us over, probably wanting to have a good chat."


    Ling Chen nodded, "Okay, I got it. Third Brother, have everyone prepare, and I’ll be right over."


    Soon, Ling Chen arrived at the entrance of Dragon Tiger Hall. By now, everyone was ready to go at any time. Seeing the people sent by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, Ling Chen was a bit surprised that it was Du Kang, whom Su He had sent.


    Su He probably did this for fear that I would refuse the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion’s invitation, so he sent someone with weight. Moreover, when he was in the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion before, Du Kang had helped him a lot. In any case, I should give him some face.


    "Elder Du, I didn’t expect you toe in person."


    Du Kang looked deeply at Ling Chen and said meaningfully, "I have no choice but toe. Time is of the essence, let’s get going quickly. Otherwise, the one from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion might get anxious."


    Watching Du Kang lead the way ahead, Ling Chen shrugged helplessly. He had wanted to chat more with Du Kang to probe his intentions, but Du Kang was too astute, not giving him a chance to speak.


    After a few hours of long travel, Ling Chen and his group finally arrived at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. Throughout the journey, Du Kang kept his distance from Ling Chen with minimalmunication. Upon reaching the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, Ling Chen saw many martial artists who had responded to the call from all over the country.


    At this time, several Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion Disciples approached and led everyone to their prearranged amodations.


    "Ling Chen."


    Just as Ling Chen was about to follow the main group, he heard Du Kang’s voice from behind. Turning back and seeing Du Kang not far away, Ling Chen quickly walked over and asked, "Elder Du, what are your instructions?"


    "Old Su wants to see you alone."


    Ling Chen smiled, nodded slightly, and said, "Alright, no problem." He anticipated Su He would want to talk, and he was already mentally prepared. Under Du Kang’s guidance, they quickly arrived outside a rtively secluded room.


    "Right here, go in."
