Chapter 524: Chapter 520 Crisis at Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion (1)

"They are all skilled, why didn’t you participate in the operation?" He Ziyun asked.

The man honestly replied, "We are in charge of patrolling the surrounding area to prevent any unexpected situations."

"Who is commanding the operation for the God Organization this time?" Ling Chen asked. For such a crucial matter concerning the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, the God Organization would definitely send senior executives to oversee the operation on site.

"I... I’m not sure, we have always been receiving orders via radio, never seen him in person. However, based on the accent, it should be a southern person."

A southern person... Ling Chen’s mind stirred, suggesting that the leader in charge of the operation was from Huaxia. If that was the case, it could mean serious trouble for them. Judging from the people killed, nearly all members of this operation were from Huaxia, which would make identifying the mysterious leader not an easy task.

While mulling over this, a heavily accented male voice suddenly came from the man’s radio: "Team three, how is everything on your end?"

"That’s him, we all follow his commands," the man said.

Ling Chen pointed to the radio and commanded, "Tell him everything is normal here."

The man dared not disobey, quickly picked up the radio, and responded to the other side.

"Continue patrolling, and alert me immediately if anything happens." After that, the voice from the radio disappeared.

Taking the radio, Ling Chen grabbed the man’s collar, hoisted him off the ground, and said, "Take us to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."

Seeing his comrades’ corpses, the man remained silent, obediently leading Ling Chen and his group deep into the forest. Before long, Yang Chen could hear a lot of noisy sounds coming from not far ahead.

Ling Chen made a gesture for silence, signaling everyone to be quiet. Then, he crept forward alone, pushing aside some branches and leaves. Suddenly, he saw an ancient building standing majestically at the edge of a cliff.

The interconnected buildings stretched as far as the eye could see, with dozens of buildings, large enough to house a thousand people. Among these buildings, a tower several dozen meters tall stood out in the center, most conspicuous, with an ancient plaque hanging at the top, inscribed with the words "Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion" in bold, strong calligraphy that carried the remnants of history.

This place was the historical headquarters of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

However, at this moment, the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion was surrounded by nearly a hundred people, with barbed wire set up around the perimeter, enclosing all the buildings.

The range covered by the barbed wire revealed all buildings with their doors and windows shut tightly, no people in sight.

That’s good!

Ling Chen breathed a sigh of relief. They hadn’t arrived too late; the Pavilion might have been surrounded by followers of the God Organization, but it hadn’t been breached yet.

It made sense; the centuries-old Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion wasn’t easily conquered.

Observing the scene, Ling Chen noticed more than a dozen members of the God Organization moving bodies. They dragged the corpses to the cliff’s edge and then threw them over.

It seemed both sides had undergone several battles, but the God Organization had not breached the Pavilion’s defenses, even losing quite a few operatives.

After gathering the information, Ling Chen relaxed slightly. It seemed the situation wasn’t as dire as they had imagined. Moreover, the God Organization hadn’t brought any heavy weapons, using only cold weapons instead.

After all, this was Huaxia, and even the audacious God Organization wouldn’t dare to brazenly use military equipment. Gunfire could attract the government’s attention, jeopardizing their plan to besiege the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

"Ling Cheng, what should we do now?"

Hearing Qiu Yong’s voice, Ling Chen composed his thoughts and said, "From the current situation, it seems the God Organization will unlikely take down the Pavilion anytime soon. Moreover, they’ve just lost quite a few men; they probably won’t continue the assault immediately. If I were commanding this operation, I would surely try to secure a significant advantage."

Xia Yue seemed to understand the deeper meaning of Ling Chen’s words and added, "You mean... the God Organization will send reinforcements?"

Ling Chen nodded and said, "They brought so many people but still couldn’t take down the Pavilion; they will definitely send more forces. Also, I’m concerned about whether the God Organization will deploy their mysterious top fighters."

He Ziyun’s pupils narrowed as he said in a deep voice, "Experts from the Heavenly List?"

"According to Jiang Xinwu’s statement, after Lucifer’s experiment succeeded, the God Organization divided their members into three levels. Jiang Xinwu’s strength is sufficient for the Dragon List, yet he is at the bottom, indicating that the God Organization likely has experts from the Heavenly List. Furthermore, Jiang Xinwu mentioned that there are more than five people qualified for the highest level, so we must bear this in mind."

With that, Ling Chen paused, looked around at his companions, and continued, "Although these are only our speculations, what we need to consider is that the God Organization dares to wage open war against the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion because they must have some reliance."

After hearing Ling Chen’s analysis, everyone’s expressions grew serious.

Experts from the Heavenly List!

This illustrious title had always been mentioned in conversations, but very few had actually seen an expert from the Heavenly List.

If it were as Ling Chen suspected, the appearance of an expert from the Heavenly List would be a disaster for both them and the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion.

He Ziyun pondered for a moment and said, "We must find a way to establish contact with the people of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."

Yuan Yun shook his head and said, "The perimeter of the Pavilion is guarded by people from the God Organization; we can’t get past the barbed wire. Unless we wait until night to see if there’s a chance to sneak in."

"Mr. He, when will the reinforcements you contacted arrive?" Ling Chen asked.

"They should be here soon, I told Qiao Zhen the address, and he will send people directly."

"In that case, why don’t we wait until everyone is here before taking action?"

"That makes sense."

However, less than half an hour had passed before Qiao Zhen’s reinforcements could arrive, when Ling Chen noticed the God Organization beginning to prepare for a new offensive.

Under the cover of dense jungle, Ling Chen observed the enemies nearby, his sharp gaze scanning over each individual, searching for the target person.

The high-ranking official from the God Organization responsible for the operation was certainly hidden among the crowd, but the man was deeply concealed, and no suspicious targets had been identified yet.

"Ling Cheng, look over there."

At that moment, Yuan Yun’s exclamatory voice rang out.

Ling Chen looked where he indicated and saw more than a dozen fully armed men carrying bulging backpacks, preparing to descend the cliff using ropes.

Qiu Yong frowned slightly, puzzled, and said, "What are they up to?"

Ling Chen thought for a moment, and his expression suddenly changed. Oh no, could it be... that’s bad!
