"Grandfather, this matter is far from simple!
Do you know who injured me this time? And why I was injured?"
Hearing his grandson's words, Kurofuji Takumi sensed that the situation was somewhat serious.
Kurofuji Takumi was well aware of his grandson Takagi Ryuhito's strength. Among the younger generation in Japan, he was virtually unrivaled across the four islands.
Yet, this time, he had returned from China severely injured and in disgrace.
Kurofuji Takumi knew Takagi Ryuhito's pride was immense, so he had endured without asking about his injuries. To his surprise, Takagi Ryuhito was now willing to discuss the issue, suggesting the underlying events were likely very grave. Da Feng Novel Network
"You should know that I joined the Heavenly Demon Sect in China. It's an extremely powerful and terrifying organization!
To put it bluntly, even if you combined a hundred of our Black Dragon Groups, you wouldn't be their match. They could wipe out the Black Dragon Group with just a few of their low-level members!"
Kurofuji Takumi's expression turned grim. This old devil was also quite proud. In his opinion, while the Black Dragon Group might not be invincible in Japan, they were not to be easily underestimated.
However, Takagi Ryuhito's blunt assessment had completely disregarded his feelings, leaving him with no dignity.
"Not long ago, the Heavenly Demon Sect accepted a mission to capture this woman. However, it is said that this woman has a very deep background and is protected by formidable figures.
Therefore, the Heavenly Demon Sect secretly instructed a martial arts sect in China to go and capture this woman. I was then assigned to secretly monitor this sect and intervene immediately if any accidents occurred, to eliminate them completely.
The strength of this sect was actually not low. Then, that woman arrived at a place called Longpan Mountain, as mentioned in this document..."
Although it was a very unpleasant memory for Takagi Ryuhito, he still chose to recount his experiences on Longpan Mountain.
"That place is extremely terrifying, with a formidable barrier. Once trapped, escaping is incredibly difficult...
And the monk who injured me, his power made me despair... even my abilities couldn't harm him...
Therefore, I don't believe the Black Dragon Society currently has the strength to capture that woman in China, unless she leaves that place called Longpan Mountain..."
In fact, Wang Bingxia had not descended Longpan Mountain since arriving. With the internet being so advanced, Wang Bingxia worked directly from the mountain. Moreover, her position as chairperson was merely a title; the company's president was her father, Wang Qing Tian.
Wang Bingxia was content to stay on the mountain, accompanying her grandfather and also spending time with Ling Tian's several masters, enjoying the happiness of family.
Besides that, Wang Bingxia had also learned a great deal from Ling Tian's masters and was now thoroughly enjoying herself, reluctant to leave.
The document in front of Takagi Ryuhito clearly indicated that the woman was still on Longpan Mountain, which made him feel very troubled!
"Grandfather, I must have revenge for this. However, I do not advise you to send people to Longpan Mountain to capture that woman right now!
If things go wrong, the consequences could be dire! Losing a few subordinates is nothing, but what if it attracts some of those 'Human Stick Immortals'?"
The 'Human Stick Immortal' Takagi Ryuhito referred to was Ling Tian himself. He was now famous, and virtually no Japanese gang was unaware of him. Furthermore, the mere mention of his name sent them trembling.
Who knew when this 'Human Stick Immortal' would show up in the dead of night with a blade and turn all their gang members into human sticks!
"Alright, since you are unwilling to go, I will not force you. You should focus on recuperating..."
"Grandfather, don't worry. I feel I've made some breakthroughs recently. Once I consolidate them, I will lead people to Longpan Mountain to reclaim our honor!"
"Yoshi!"
After watching his grandson leave the room, Kurofuji Takumi's expression instantly turned somber. He immediately summoned his confidant:
"Send people to China immediately and capture this woman for me!
Also, send all ten 'God-Bestowed Warriors' that General Hirano Saburo sent!"
"Hai!"
Kurofuji Takumi was an extremely ambitious man. Although Takagi Ryuhito's warning gave him pause, his ambition to dominate Japan's underworld made him cast these concerns aside.
He desperately needed the support of Japan's military and the Kawashima Zaibatsu. Therefore, no matter what, he had to succeed in this endeavor!
There was another important reason: these ten 'God-Bestowed Warriors' sent by the Japanese military were incredibly powerful. Even with over a dozen of his own men ganging up on one, they were no match for them.
He was eager to align himself with the Kawashima Zaibatsu, which would provide them with more money and resources to acquire more 'God-Bestowed Warriors' from the Japanese military!
Imagine if the Black Dragon Group had a hundred or so 'God-Bestowed Warriors' of this caliber; they would be able to walk all over Japan's underworld!
...
In a hot spring guesthouse in Hokkaido, Ling Tian was comfortably soaking in the open-air hot spring in the backyard.
This establishment had a long history, reportedly passed down through generations. Although the facilities were slightly dated, they were exceptionally clean.
There were few guests in the inn. Night had fallen, and at this moment, Ling Tian was the only one in the vast hot spring pool.
Just then, the door was opened, and a handsome middle-aged man with long hair entered the hot spring pool and unceremoniously sat down next to Ling Tian.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Ling Tian smiled. He formed a mudra with his hands, releasing his true essence. In the next moment, a bubble the size of a soap bubble spread from Ling Tian's hand, passing through both of them. Finally, this bubble enveloped the entire pool they were in.
The handsome middle-aged man who arrived was Xuan Yuan Thirteen. He came here to meet Ling Tian primarily to exchange intelligence about the Japanese gangs.
Recently, Japan's underworld had been in a state of catastrophe. Almost all gangs feared the arrival of the 'Human Stick Immortal' wearing that ridiculous green fish-man mask.
Especially those societies and gangs that were hostile towards Chinese people were now keeping a low profile, no longer daring to bully Chinese students and businessmen, for fear that the Immortal would show up one day and turn them into human sticks.
What made Xuan Yuan Thirteen even happier was that several of his sworn enemies had almost all been wiped out by this 'Human Stick Immortal'!
Things he hadn't accomplished in Japan for decades were resolved by Ling Tian in just a few days!
