<h4>Chapter 1299: Chapter 1607: Desert Ambush (Part 2)</h4>


    After watching Su He leave, the young man beside him immediately gathered his men and brought the group of Martial Artists into the pre-prepared warehouse. Once inside, the young man nced at the situation outside and immediately locked the door tightly. Noticing his action, someone in the crowd shouted, "Kid, what are you doing?"


    The young man smiled slightly and said, "Please stay calm everyone, I’m saving your lives."


    "What do you mean by that?"


    "Everyone, we meet again." As the words were spoken, everyone turned to see an old man appear in the warehouse. Seeing the neer, they couldn’t help but be shocked and asked in surprise, "Elder Tong, why are you here?"


    Tong Zhentian spoke, "Everyone, you are currently in a very dangerous situation, with your lives at risk at any moment. If you want to live, it’s best to follow my arrangements."


    ...


    At this moment, Su He and others, led by a young man, were preparing to rest. As they walked along, Su He looked at the surroundings of the base, suddenly paused, and asked, "Where are we going?"


    "Elder Su, I’ve arranged amodations for you." The young man quickly replied.


    Su He pointed to the three-story main building not far away and asked, "Shouldn’t we be going there?"


    The young man exined with a smile, "Elder Su, you may not know, but due to the age of the facilities, they are too old and outdated. Recently, Eagle Head had people remodel the interior of that building, and it’s not finished yet. It’s in a mess inside, and not suitable for living at the moment."


    Hearing this, Su He nodded and did not continue to ask. The young man secretly breathed a sigh of relief; he was really afraid Su He would keep questioning. There had been a fierce battle in that three-story main building just now, and it was in ruins. If Su He were to enter there, he would definitely find something amiss.


    Soon, the young man arranged for Su He and others to settle in afortable conference hall.


    "Elder Su, please take a rest, I will have food sent over right away." With that, the young man turned and left.


    "Master, what’s going on here?" Wang Hao asked Su He. Even Su Mei didn’t know about the rtionship between the Skyhawk Pavilion and the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, let alone Wang Hao. Following his master’s orders, Wang Hao had asked nothing along the way, assuming they were really there to destroy the Skyhawk Pavilion. However, from the current situation, it seemed that wasn’t the case.


    Su He nced at Wang Hao, neither warmly nor coldly, and said, "You don’t need to ask so much, just do as I say."


    A few minutester, a table filled with sumptuous dishes was brought in.


    "Elder Su, please enjoy your meal slowly, I need to arrange meals for the others."


    Su He waved his hand, signaling the person to leave.


    After finishing his meal, Su He checked the time and frowned, asking, "Why hasn’t Zhu Chuan arrived yet?"


    "Master, should I go out and check?"


    "Go ahead."


    Wang Hao nodded, quickly got up, and left the conference room. Not long after, Wang Hao hurriedly ran in from outside, eximing, "Master, I just went outside to look, and there’s no one there."


    "No one?" Su He’s face sank, and he stood up abruptly, striding outside. After leaving the conference room, Su He took Wang Hao to look around. Just as Wang Hao said, there wasn’t a single living soul to be seen anywhere in or around the base.


    Seeing this, Su He immediately felt something was wrong and said in a deep voice, "Where are our people from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion? Where have they been taken?"


    "They should have been taken to the warehouse over there."


    "Let’s go, follow me there to check."


    Before long, the two quickly reached the warehouse. As soon as they entered, Su He was stunned by the scene before him. At this moment, over two hundred members of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion were lying unconscious in the huge warehouse, each with foam at their mouths and faces pale, all fallen into aa. Beside them, there were many scattered food containers.


    Wang Hao nced around, his face ugly as he said, "Master, they... they must be poisoned." As he finished speaking, Wang Hao seemed to realize something, his face suddenly changed dramatically, and he eximed, "Oh no! We ate that food too."


    "Don’t panic." Su He said coldly with a dark expression, "With me here, you won’t die."


    "Master, who could have done this?"


    Su He pondered for a moment and was about to speak when he suddenly heard footsteps behind him. He turned around abruptly, looking at the neer in shock.


    "What are you doing here?"


    "Grandfather, please stop, don’t make things worse." Su Mei looked at Su He and pleaded.


    Su He frowned slightly, pointing to the unconscious people in the warehouse, and asked coldly, "Did you do all this?"


    "Grandfather, they’re not in danger of dying–they’ve just temporarily lost their ability to move. They are the elite of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, and I don’t want anything to happen to them."


    "So you chose to betray me?" Su He’s gaze gradually grew cold, carrying a trace of killing intent.


    "The Pavilion Master did it for the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion." Came a voice, and Su He looked over, speaking in a deep voice, "Mr. Du, are you also going to go against me?"


    "I am from Yangxin Pavilion, and Yangxin Pavilion only cares about the safety of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. Su He, your actions have already seriously threatened the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion. I advise you to stop immediately. If you continue to be stubborn, you will sooner orter bring the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to ruin."


    Su Heughed coldly and said, "Is that your realization? Du Kang, I didn’t think your vision would be so short-sighted. At this point, only bloodshed can make the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion rise again." With that, Su He turned to Su Mei and said, "Dear granddaughter, do you not even trust your own grandfather? Everything I’ve done is for the sake of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, you should be able to understand my efforts."


    Su Mei nodded gently and said, "Grandfather, I can understand, but I don’t agree. Looking through history, which dynasty doesn’t have its ups and downs? Even the most glorious empire has a day when it declines. If the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion really reaches such a point, I will ept it calmly and never resort to such extreme measures. Grandfather, if you truly care for the future of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, you should stop immediately. As long as you do as I say, there’s still a chance to make amends."


    "Was it Ling Chen who called you here?" Su He acted as if he hadn’t heard Su Mei’s advice and asked abruptly, "Where is he? Tell him toe see me."


    "I am here." As the voice fell, Ling Chen emerged from the corner of the warehouse, "Elder Su, what can I do for you?"


    Su He carefully observed Ling Chen, and suddenlyughed, "I must admit, I underestimated you."


    "I just happen to have good luck. I’ve been to this desert before, so when you brought me in, I knew you wouldn’t surrender willingly."


    "If you weren’t Ling Kun’s son, I would have taken you as my direct disciple. Compared to you, Wang Hao is far inferior."
