Fists that can subdue mountains and rivers, martial arts that can lead to immortality!

Jiang Wangzu and Chen Batian got out of the carriage and headed to the nearest city to capture a small battalion commander from the Southern Warlord Alliance.

"I'll ask you a question, and you'll answer. If you don't answer, or if you lie, you'll die!"

Jiang Wangzu sat on a grand chair in the main hall of an empty mansion, looking at the middle-aged man kneeling before him, and said:

Where is Pan Huaijin, the third master of the Pan family, now?

"Pan Longtian was assassinated, plunging the Pan family into chaos. The five commanders of the Southern Revolutionary Army also fell apart due to political differences."

"Among them, Army Commander Chu Xiongfei led his troops to Nanqiong Island, while Army Commander Leng Feng led his remaining troops to garrison in the mountainous areas of Lingnan Province and fight against the Allied forces."

"Commander Xiao Xuanyuan is stationed in Yunnan Province, but he is currently negotiating with the Allied Forces, hoping to dominate Yunnan Province and sever ties with the Pan family."

"Commander Zhang Sheng has been killed in action. His troops have suffered heavy casualties and are disintegrating. Some have been wiped out by the Allied forces, some have surrendered, and a small number have fled."

"Chen Fanye, the commander of the Pan family's direct troops stationed in Cangwu Province, is still resisting the Allied forces."

"But he had actually been considering surrendering for some time, but he was hesitant."

"The main reason is that he has three elite divisions under his command. One of them is led by Pan Huaijin, the third master of the Pan family, and he can't command that one at all."

"Of the remaining two divisions, the division commander Xue Jing was promoted by him, and the other division commander Xu Yuan is an old hand who followed Pan Longtian and is currently neutral."

"Our allied forces, under Chen Fanye's policy of non-resistance, have already occupied most of Cangwu Province, and will soon be able to reach Huacheng!"

"Currently, Pan Huaijin, the third master of the Pan family, is leading his troops to defend Huacheng. Your martial prowess is unparalleled. If you are willing to serve our allied forces, my commander will certainly treat you as an honored guest!"

Wu Tai, the battalion commander of the Southern Warlord Alliance, spoke up.

He originally came here with his men to conquer the city and enjoy the good life, but while he was playing games with some girls, this burly man next to him broke in, knocked him unconscious, and brought him here.

The terrifying giant who could withstand bullets with his bare hands turned out to be just a follower of the young man in front of him.

This shows that the person in front of us is definitely not simple!

"Who is your handsome husband?"

Jiang Wangzu smiled faintly and asked.

"My lord is Du Bingkun, the military governor of Jiangnan Province, Commander Du!"

Wu Tai spoke with a respectful yet proud expression.

Chen Batian's expression became quite interesting upon hearing this.

Jiang Wangzu couldn't help but laugh upon hearing this.

What a small world!

"Let's go straight to Huacheng to find Pan Huaijin. It looks like he's in trouble."

"Help him resolve his current troubles as soon as possible. Hopefully, Pan Zhen can hold on!"

Jiang Wangzu stood up abruptly, walked past Wu Tai, and released a burst of energy that directly shattered Wu Tai's heart.

They forcibly abducted women and allowed their soldiers to plunder; such bandits deserve to die!

…………

Huacheng (Flower City)

The Marshal's Mansion.

Pan Sanye, the once spirited and dashing revolutionary soldier from the South, seemed to have aged more than ten years overnight.

He was wearing a military uniform, his eyes were sunken, and he didn't look well.

"Commander, Chu Xiongfei has refused to send troops to help, citing the need to reorganize military equipment and recuperate after the war!"

"Commander, Leng Feng has called, requesting that you quickly quell the chaos in Cangwu Province and send troops to assist Lingnan!"

"Commander, Xiao Xuanyuan has confirmed the success of peace talks with the Allied Forces, and one of the conditions for the talks is the presence of Young Master Pan Zhen, who is hiding deep in the Hundred Thousand Mountains!"

"Commander, Army Commander Chen Fanye has sent a telegram requesting that the city gates be opened to welcome the army into the city, so that we can join forces and fight against the enemy!"

"Commander, Commander Xu Yuan has not yet replied!"

"..."

Pan Huaijin heard his messengers reporting one after another.

There was hardly any good news; it was almost all bad news.

"Zhen'er is trapped in the Ten Thousand Mountains, and that bastard Xiao Xuanyuan actually wants to use his master to exchange for wealth and glory!"

"That scoundrel Chen Fanye, he actually wants me to open the city gates and let him in? Is he trying to get me to betray him?"

"That old fox Xu Yuan, my father treated him well, how could he remain neutral at a time like this?"

"Father, what would you do if you were in my shoes?"

"Son, son, I really can't do it!"

Pan Huaijin sat in the chair, clenched his fists, looked up at the ceiling, and felt a sense of powerlessness.

"Third Master!"

"Mr. Jiang Wangzu from Shanghai has come to pay a visit, bringing news of young master Pan Zhen!"

"The old man wants you to hurry home!"

At this moment, Pan Fu, the steward of the Pan mansion, came to pay his respects.

"Jiang Wangzu of Shanghai?"

"I've imposed martial law throughout Guangzhou, so how did he get in?"

"Get the car ready, let's go home!"

Pan Huaijin was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much of it and simply prepared his car to go home.

Pan Mansion.

In the living room.

Pan Zhen's father, Pan Huaizong, is receiving Jiang Wangzu.

Pan Huaizong was the eldest son of Old Master Pan, but his skills were clearly inferior to those of the third son, Pan Huaijin, and he was well aware of this.

His son, Pan Zhen, was the successor handpicked by the old man. What more could he possibly want?

The father's status is due to his son's!

But now that Old Master Pan is dead, the Pan family is in turmoil, and he doesn't know what to do.

Before entering the hall, Jiang Wangzu looked around the Pan Mansion. Many parts were under renovation, indicating that it had been through a fierce battle.

It is highly likely to be a chaotic battle between martial arts masters!

"Big brother!"

Pan Huaijin rushed home, greeted Pan Huaizong, and then, upon seeing Jiang Wangzu sitting in the second seat, paused for a moment before saying hesitantly:

"This is... Mr. Jiang?"

"Master Pan, I've long admired your name. I am Jiang Wangzu!"

Jiang Wangzu stood up, cupped his hands, and said.

"I've long heard of Mr. Jiang's formidable reputation in Shanghai, where he's revered as the King of Shanghai. Meeting him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved!"

Pan Huaijin responded with a smile.

"Third Master Pan, I hit it off with Brother Pan Zhen the moment we met. When I learned that he was trapped in the Ten Thousand Mountains, I couldn't sleep all night. After thinking it over, I decided to come here in person to lend Brother Pan Zhen a helping hand."

"Brother Pan Zhen sent me a telegram, asking me to come to you first to request troops to go to the Ten Thousand Mountains in Yunnan Province to rescue him."

"However, having traveled all the way from Cangwu Province, I'm afraid Master Pan is now somewhat powerless to continue!"

Jiang Wangzu got straight to the point.

"Mr. Jiang has a discerning eye!"

"Now the Allied Forces have occupied most of Cangwu Province. Chen Fanye, the commander of the main force of my Pan family, has become rebellious. His division commander Xue Jing is obedient to him, while division commander Xu Yuan remains neutral."

"Now only I am leading a division and the Huacheng garrison troops to stabilize the situation."

"Once Chen Fanye completely breaks off relations, or Xu Yuan completely sides with him, I'm afraid Hua Cheng won't be able to protect himself!"

When Jiang Wangzu poured out his grievances, Pan Huaijin showed none of the composure expected of a leader who would remain calm even in the face of a collapsing mountain.

But it must have been tough on him.

After all, Grandpa Pan never intended for him to be his successor; his role was always to assist Pan Zhen in managing the overall situation.

After pouring out his grievances, he looked at Chen Batian standing next to Jiang Wangzu and asked in confusion:

"Didn't Master Chen come?"
