<h4>Chapter 1291: Chapter 1599: Siege of Skyhawk Pavilion (Part 1)</h4>


    Taking advantage of the main force not yet arriving, Ling Chen went alone with his gear, sneaking towards the Skyhawk Pavilion headquarters. Although drones could monitor the entire base of the Skyhawk Pavilion, the camera is ultimately from top to bottom, not very clear for capturing faces. Therefore, someone had to get close to the Skyhawk Pavilion.


    Ling Chen moved swiftly, sometimes crawling forward, sometimes sprinting. After about ten minutes, he finally reached a sand dune more than forty meters away from the Skyhawk Pavilion. Lying on the sand dune, Ling Chen covered himself with a piece of earth-colored cloth, blending in perfectly with the surrounding sand grains, making it difficult to notice his presence without careful observation.


    Ling Chen took out a high-powered binocrs, observing the situation in the base, and asionally kept in touch with Liu Dongsheng through radio.


    After quietly observing for a while, Ling Chen’s sharp eyes suddenly noticed two people walking out of a house in the northeast corner. One was Zhu Chuan, and the other was Zhu Hong. The two walked side by side, talking about something unknown.


    There’s no need to say about Zhu Hong, back when he was in East Sea City, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had sent Zhu Chuan to participate in a martial artspetition, but he was defeated by Chen Junfeng. Unexpectedly, he was also a member of the Skyhawk Pavilion.


    While pondering, Zhu Chuan and Zhu Hong were seen arriving at the center of the base. Soon, more than three hundred members of the Skyhawk Pavilion gathered in the field. It’s unclear what Zhu Chuan said, but a few minutester, all members of the Skyhawk Pavilion dispersed one after another. Soon, the base was empty, and they all entered into the building.


    "Mr. Ling, the convoy will arrive in ten minutes."


    "Received, I’ll be back soon."


    Backing down from the sand dune, Ling Chen felt a bit regretful. He initially hoped to spot a few important figures, but apart from Zhu Chuan and Zhu Hong, he found none. As the strongest force of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, Skyhawk Pavilion’s masters surely were not limited to just Zhu Chuan. He really wanted to know theprehensive strength of the Skyhawk Pavilion.


    Before long, Ling Chen returned to the previously set up temporary tent, took a brief rest, and then heard the roaring engine sounds. The main force had arrived.


    Once Tong Zhentian and others arrived, everyone gathered together to discuss attack strategies.


    "To me, it seems safer to attack at night." Yuan Yun proposed, "The area around the base is open terrain. If wee within fifty meters, we’ll definitely be detected."


    "No way." Ling Chen shook his head, saying: "Attacking at night will be very disadvantageous for us. Brother, don’t forget, the Skyhawk Pavilion is a group of assassins. In dark environments, theirbat power will multiply. I believe attacking during the day is most suitable, not only can we suppress their abilities, but also can solve the Skyhawk Pavilion before Su He arrives."


    He Ziyun contemted for a moment and said, "Ling Chen makes a valid point. However, how do we approach this base?"


    Ling Chen smiled confidently and said, "No need to worry about that, I have my ways." With that, Ling Chen turned to Liu Dongsheng and said, "Uncle Liu, I’ll leave it to you."


    "I’ll get on it immediately."


    About ten minutester, Liu Dongsheng returned to the tent, "Mr. Ling, everything is ready, can we start?"


    "Let’s start!"


    Leaving the tent, everyone stood at a higher spot, gazing at the Skyhawk Pavilion base. Suddenly, there was a loud ’bang,’ a loud sound erupted outside, about ten meters from the Skyhawk Pavilion base. Immediately afterward, thick smoke spread out, covering the surrounding area of tens of meters.


    Bang! Bang! Bang!


    Apanied by more than a dozen loud explosions, the entire vicinity of the Skyhawk Pavilion was engulfed in thick smoke. Those outside couldn’t see inside, and those inside couldn’t see outside.


    "Uncle Liu, give the order,unch the attack immediately."


    "Okay."


    "Elder Tong, shall we go too?"


    At this moment, inside the base of the Skyhawk Pavilion, everyone was stunned by the sudden explosions outside.


    "Master, we are under attack." Zhu Hong hurriedly ran into Zhu Chuan’s room, reporting the situation outside.


    Zhu Chuan appeared rtively calm and asked, "Don’t panic, maybe it’s Elder Su and his group. As agreed, they will pretend to attack the base upon arrival, and we’ll just have to act it out."


    "Master, didn’t you mention the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion people would arrive at night? It’s been such a short time, it’s impossible for them to arrive so soon."


    Hearing this, Zhu Chuan thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "I’ll call Elder Su and ask." With that, Zhu Chuan took out his phone and dialed Su He’s number. However, after a few seconds, Zhu Chuan’s face suddenly darkened, "The call can’t go through, no signal."


    "Master..."


    "You’re right, those outside are not Elder Su’s group, we are under attack. Immediately send orders for everyone to prepare for battle."


    "Yes."


    The Skyhawk Pavilion is a ce specifically for training assassins, and after the orders were sent, not two minutester, over a hundred people appeared around the base, vigntly watching the surrounding smoke.


    Zhu Chuan and Zhu Hong stood at the center of the base, waiting for the enemy to arrive.


    As time passed by, suddenly Zhu Chuan, who had his eyes slightly closed, opened them sharply, looking to the southeast, "The enemy is over there."


    Zhu Hong turned his head to look, and after ten seconds, the sound of engines entered his ears.


    "It’s trucks, a lot of them."


    "Everyone, gather to the southeast." As Zhu Chuan’s voice fell, the assassins around the base quickly rushed to the southeast, forming a defensive line.


    Soon, the engine sounds got closer and closer, stopping about thirty meters out.


    Due to the smoke between them, they couldn’t see anything, just patiently waited for the enemy to appear.


    "Why aren’t they here yet?" Zhu Hong frowned.


    "They’re just beyond the smoke." Saying this, Zhu Chuan looked at the thick smoke around them and spoke: "The smoke is about to clear, prepare to engage."


    A few secondster, as the smoke gradually cleared, more than ten military transport trucks appeared in Zhu Chuan’s and Zhu Hong’s view. However, other than those military transport trucks, no other people were seen.


    "Where are the people?"


    As everyone was puzzled, a ’boom’ sound erupted from behind them. Zhu Chuan and Zhu Hong sharply turned their heads, only to see a huge gap blown open in the northern base wall with over a hundred Asian individuals rushing in from outside.


    "It’s Ling Chen!" Sharp-eyed Zhu Hong immediately recognized Ling Chen at the forefront of the team and shouted loudly.


    "Everyone, follow my lead to repel the enemy!" Zhu Chuan shouted, lightly tapped his toes, and flew towards them.


    Ta ta ta! Ta ta ta!


    However, just then, a burst of urgent gunfire suddenly sounded. Next, the assassins of the Skyhawk Pavilion began to fall to the ground one after another, their bodies riddled with bullet holes, devoid of life.


    "Behind! There’s someone behind us!"
