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

"Who dares to trespass on the forbidden grounds of my Netherworld Sect?"

Jiang Wangzu absorbed the earthly evil energy too quickly, and the commotion of his breakthrough was earth-shattering, which directly alarmed the members of the Netherworld Sect.

Some core followers disregarded the elders' reprimands and trespassed into the forbidden area, only to be startled by a bloody smell before they even got close to the cave.

They saw the corpses of the elders and the cult leader lying in pools of blood, while a handsome young man in a trench coat stood in the forbidden area of ​​the Netherworld Cult.

"You're all here! That saves me the trouble of looking for you!"

Jiang Wangzu moved like a black lightning bolt, swiftly weaving through the core members of the Netherworld Sect and quickly killing them all!

"Martial Arts Grandmaster!"

"Run!"

The remaining members of the Netherworld Cult were terrified and fled in all directions. Jiang Wangzu was too lazy to chase after these ants.

He then wandered around the Netherworld Cult and found their armory.

This contains not only the cultivation techniques passed down by the Netherworld Sect, but also various secret medicines, as well as gold and silver jewelry.

This sect has existed since the Ming Dynasty and reached its peak. It became active again in the previous dynasty and is now a notorious and very lucrative assassin organization, so they are really not short of money!

Jiang Wangzu immediately contacted Luo Shiqi, and then urgently transferred people from Shanghai to transport all the wealth accumulated by the Netherworld Sect over the past few hundred years back to Shanghai.

This wave will make you rich again!

Although Jiang Wangzu, with his current wealth, no longer cared much about gold and silver jewelry, the revolutionary army needed them.

War is all about money!

When guns fire, gold pours in!

The Netherworld Cult's wealth is indeed astonishing, but it's still difficult to support a war involving millions of people!

Now that trade between Shanghai and Cangwu Province has been fully opened, Jiang Wangzu is using trade as a pretext to transport money and military supplies to Cangwu Province.

Furthermore, they are building various factories in Cangwu Province.

Besides, Jiang Wangzu didn't take no benefits at all.

Pan Zhen studied in the West and had deep connections with some military elites in the Western Alliance.

So he purchased more than 10,000 Western weapons through Pan Zhen's connections.

They even purchased a bullet production line that had been phased out by a Western military factory.

With the financial support of Jiang Wangzu, Pan Zhen began importing various military production lines directly from the West, and the arsenal was under construction in an orderly manner.

Within the Western alliance, there were numerous nations and factions.

Some Western countries are facing an economic depression.

Therefore, Pan Zhen was able to acquire these countries' weapons production lines at extremely low prices through his connections.

Today, the Shanghai police force has about 30,000 personnel, but only about 20,000 firearms. The remaining 10,000 are employed as laborers and are only equipped with basic patrol equipment.

But once the war begins and guns and ammunition are issued, aren't these people soldiers who can fight?

About one-third of these people were Jiang Wangzu's men, and if you add the members of the Grand Canal Gang, the number exceeds 20,000.

However, the Grand Canal Gang was backed by the warlords of the south, which Jiang Wangzu did not trust.

Therefore, Jiang Wangzu was still spending money like crazy to buy off and win over the people in the Shanghai police station.

He plans to turn more than half of the police officers in Shanghai into his own people within the next year or two.

His Shanghai security company already has more than 10,000 employees, who, as Jiang Wangzu's confidants, have been undergoing rigorous training.

He wants to build a large army of warriors, coupled with their superb experience in using firearms, which will be enough to dominate the battlefield!

Shanghai is indeed densely populated and economically developed, but its basic population base is simply too small.

A few million people may seem like a lot, but even if only one in ten soldiers are actually capable of fighting, the army would only number three to five hundred thousand.

Besides, if it really came to that, Shanghai would have collapsed long ago.

According to Jiang Wangzu's estimate, Shanghai can support an army of 100,000. This is not the theoretical limit, but it is indeed the most suitable number.

However, there are too many powerful financial and military magnates in Shanghai, and everyone has to support some confidants. So, the 100,000 troops would be far too few for each person to handle.

Jiang Wangzu's goal is an army of 50,000, which he would personally command half of the 100,000-strong army!

Nominally, 20,000 yuan was placed in the Shanghai police station.

Shanghai security company, 30,000.

The 30,000 men of the Shanghai Security Company were dispersed among the various branches under Jiang Wangzu's name, so it was impossible to tell how many combat-ready soldiers he actually had!

The total number of people receiving training at Shanghai Security Company is no more than three thousand, and they are rotated every month.

The impression given to outsiders is that his violent organization, the Shanghai Security Company, only has about three thousand people.

But if war comes, he will give the world a surprise.

Of course, if possible, he hopes that Shanghai will never be plagued by war!

After all, people die in war.

Especially in a small, densely populated city like Shanghai, who knows how many people would die a violent death!

After the trip to Jiuyou Mountain ended.

Jiang Wangzu and Little Fairy Doctor carried the medicinal materials for refining the Qi Sea Snow Mountain Pill, as well as several top-quality medicinal materials from the medicine warehouse and some precious jewelry and jade, to the capital.

However, before heading to the capital, they decided to visit Tianjin first.

In a few days, Japanese martial arts master Yagyu Ichiro will challenge Huo Tianhong, the number one martial artist in Tianjin.

The two sides not only determined who was superior, but also decided their fate!

Long before that, this Japanese devil had already established a sword-wielding dojo in the Japanese concession in Tianjin.

In order to quickly make a name for himself, he set up a fighting arena in the Tianjin Concession. His disciples won all ten of their matches, leaving the martial arts schools in the Tianjin Concession unable to hold their heads high.

However, Huo Tianhong and the others did not pay any attention to it.

After all, the martial arts schools in the Tianjin concessions didn't really have much connection with the local martial arts schools in Tianjin.

It was even because the other party sided with foreigners, or because they were at odds with these local factions, that they went to the concession to open a martial arts school.

The martial arts school had people from the Republic of China, as well as many Westerners and Japanese.

Local martial arts schools in Tianjin refuse to accept foreigners as students, no matter how much money they are offered!

However, as the Sword Master Dojo unified the martial arts world in the Tianjin Concession, they gradually became dissatisfied and began to repeatedly provoke local martial arts schools in Tianjin.

This led to numerous conflicts between the two sides, each resulting in many deaths.

The animosity between the two sides has now reached an extreme level.

At that very moment, Japanese martial arts master Yagyu Ichiro challenged Huo Tianhong, the number one martial artist in Tianjin, to a duel!

However, Jiang Wangzu felt that things were not that simple.

The Japanese devils have no good intentions.

This is constantly causing trouble.

Even before the great war, they kept testing the bottom line of the Great New Republic!

We must strike hard at their provocative actions; if we hurt them, they won't dare to cause trouble again!

Tianjin.

The Huo residence.

Jiang Wangzu brought Little Fairy Doctor to visit.

Meanwhile, the entourage headed to the capital with the supplies, where the Dai family had already made all the necessary arrangements.

"Young friend Jiang, is it really you? I could hardly believe it when the servants informed me."

Old Master Huo Tianhong personally went out to greet them.

However, Jiang Wangzu was perfectly entitled to such treatment.

After all, Jiang Wangzu is now leading the martial arts community of Tianjin to do business and make a fortune, and the Huo family is also making a killing.

In addition to Jiang Wangzu's previous life-saving grace, and the fact that Jiang Wangzu is now a master of horizontal martial arts.

He is perfectly capable of being on equal footing with Huo Tianhong!
