Chapter 363: Chapter 359: The Sudden Appearance of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Dongfang Yu was delayed by Wei Jiahao in his escape, Ling Chen followed Qiu Yong and others to rush over and surrounded Dongfang Yu.

Facing the menacing eight oddities, Dongfang Yu’s complexion looked extremely unpleasant. He had never anticipated that despite coming to avenge his disciple, he would end up in such a predicament.

Qiu Yong coldly shouted, "Dongfang Yu, your disciple is a disgrace deserving of death, and instead of feeling ashamed for your disciple, you seek to avenge him. Since that’s the case, don’t blame us for being ruthless—everyone attack together!"

However, just as everyone’s eyes betrayed murderous intent and prepared for a fierce battle, a pleasant ringtone suddenly sounded.

Everyone’s expressions showed a trace of astonishment, and all eyes fell on Ling Chen.

Ling Chen put down the weapon in his hand, smiled awkwardly, and hurriedly took out his phone from his pocket. Seeing that it was a call from Xia Mutong, he gestured to the phone with an embarrassed expression and said, "This call is quite important, you guys go ahead and start, I’ll catch up in a bit, don’t wait for me."

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but react with a mixture of laughter and helplessness, as the tense atmosphere they had finally created was disrupted by Ling Chen’s remark.

"Begin!" Xia Yue, feeling irritated, glared at Ling Chen and didn’t bother to pay him further attention. She raised her sword and stabbed towards Dongfang Yu.

Ling Chen moved to the side on his own, answered the call, and asked, "Officer Xia, how is it going on your end? Did you stop the car?"

"We didn’t find Miss Nanrong in the Honda business car you mentioned, but based on the information provided by the driver, we can confirm that Miss Nanrong is heading to the airport, seemingly preparing to leave the country overnight."

"Is there any way to find her?"

"I’ve already informed the airport; I’ll do my best to find her." After a pause, Xia Mutong on the other end of the line asked, "Has Miss Nanrong been kidnapped?"

"I... can’t be entirely sure," replied Ling Chen. When Nanrong Wanqing called him, it seemed to be of her own volition and not under coercion.

"Not kidnapped? Then this is going to be difficult. Unless it’s a kidnapping case, I don’t have the authority to deploy so many people. If you don’t report it, then it can only be considered a private matter, not an official one."

"Just do what you can to help," Ling Chen knew it was against the rules for Xia Mutong to use police resources privately.

"I’ll help within the range of what I can do. By the way, how long until you get to the airport?"

Ling Chen glanced at the people engaged in combat and replied, "I’ll hurry over as soon as possible."

After hanging up the call, Ling Chen picked up the Tianling Blade and stood among the people, looking for an opportunity to strike.

By now, Dongfang Yu was utterly exhausted, suffering several arrow wounds, and the violent movement caused his injuries to rip open, blood gushing profusely. Seeing his labored breathing, it was likely he wouldn’t hold out much longer.

Watching this, Ling Chen simply stood aside, taking interest in watching the others. Dongfang Yu’s fate was sealed; there was no need for him to intervene anymore, as Qiu Yong and the rest were more than enough to resolve the fight.

Soon after, the weakened Dongfang Yu found himself under attack from the one-armed man, Yuan Yun, and Xia Yue taking advantage of an opportunity to strike from both sides, inflicting several more injuries on him.

When he is down, deliver the final blow!

Seeing Dongfang Yu growing weaker, Qiu Yong immediately moved in, swinging his fist straight towards Dongfang Yu’s chest.

But just at this critical moment, a sudden gust of wind attacked, targeting Qiu Yong. Zhang Zhongfeng, who had been observing the battle, saw the impending danger and immediately drew his bow and arrow; ’whoosh’, the arrow flew, intercepting the gust of wind midair.

Clang!

With a crisp ringing sound, a sharp dagger fell to the ground along with an arrow.

Ling Chen’s heart sank as he looked up in the direction from where the dagger had come and said with a deep voice, "Who’s there? Come out!"

As his words ended, a person walked out from around the corner of the corridor. To be precise, it was a man dressed in black, with a mask covering his face, revealing only a pair of bright, glistening eyes.

Noticing the man who had suddenly appeared, everyone immediately stopped what they were doing and watched him cautiously, asking, "Who are you?"

"Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."

"People from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion?" The crowd’s expression shifted slightly. Qiu Yong furrowed his brows and said, "This is a private grudge between us and Dongfang Yu. Is the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion planning to intervene?"

The man responded coolly, "The Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion doesn’t involve itself with others, but when it comes to him... the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion is in charge. Qiu Yong, the grudge between Dongfang Yu and your group of eight oddballs ends here. On behalf of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, I assure you that from now on, Dongfang Yu won’t trouble you again."

"Hmph! The face of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion carries weight, but whether we give you face is our business."

The man looked at Ling Chen who had spoken and explained, "Dongfang Yu is of use to our Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, so we hope you can let bygones be bygones. As long as you allow me to take him away, I will do you a favor at the upcoming Heavenly Mechanism Great Ceremony."

The Heavenly Mechanism Great Ceremony?

Ling Chen wondered what that was. Before he could ask, Qiu Yong nodded and said, "Alright, since you’ve put it that way, we eight oddballs aren’t unreasonable. We’ll agree to let this go."

"Thank you!"

The man cupped his hands together in thanks, then walked over to Dongfang Yu, supported him by the arm, and headed towards the staircase.

Watching the pair disappear from sight, Ling Chen touched his nose, feeling somewhat displeased. It had been so difficult to trap Dongfang Yu; he could have killed him, but someone from the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion had to interfere and rescued Dongfang Yu.

Back in his hotel room, Ling Chen asked curiously, "Big Brother, what is this Heavenly Mechanism Great Ceremony that man mentioned?"

"That’s an event hosted by the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, only those who are invited are qualified to attend. We the group of eight oddballs have received several invitations, but we’ve only gone once, as there wasn’t much interest. You are now one of the eight oddballs and also a master of the Tiger List, so you will definitely be invited to this year’s Heavenly Mechanism Great Ceremony. You might want to go and see the world."

Ling Chen nodded, then suddenly remembered that Xia Mutong was waiting for him at the airport. It was all Dongfang Yu’s fault, making him waste so much time.

"Big Brother, I have urgent business at the airport, I must go," he said. Without waiting for Qiu Yong to ask anything, Ling Chen quickly left the room.

Once outside the hotel, Ling Chen started the car and pushed the accelerator to the floor, the engine roaring like a wild beast as the car shot out like an arrow.

From a room on the eighth floor of the hotel, Wei Jiahao lifted the curtain and watched the muscle car disappear from his line of sight, saying, "Ling Cheng seems to be in a big hurry, I hope there’s no trouble."

Xia Yue coolly responded, "What kind of urgent business could he possibly have? Hasn’t Big Brother checked his background? If you ask me, it’s definitely all related to women."

Achoo!

Sitting in the car, Ling Chen sneezed and rubbed his aching nose, steering with one hand as he weaved through the traffic.

Just then, the cellphone on the passenger seat rang, and the caller ID showed the name Nanrong Wanqing.
