That night, hundreds of Japanese demon cultivators infiltrated Wanghai City, searching everywhere for demon cultivators.
Yet, throughout the entire night, they only managed to find a scant few, and these few were merely lowly demon warriors.
Even in capturing these demon cultivators, Toyota Choji didn't need to intervene; they were easily handled.
This left Toyota Choji somewhat uninterested.
He shook his head and said, "So the Celestial Dynasty's demon cultivators are really so vulnerable, it truly disappoints me."
After all, the main forces of demon cultivators in Wanghai City were only the Black Dragon Association and the Beggar Gang. The Black Dragon Association had already withdrawn entirely into Black Dragon Castle, making them impossible to find. The Beggar Gang, however, only had one lone beggar remaining.
Aside from the Black Dragon Association and the Beggar Gang, the largest force was Wang Yan's subordinates.
Wang Yan's subordinates were either within the Peak Group or the Grey Wolf Alliance at Wanghai Noble School.
These locations were part of Toyota Choji's plans, so the Japanese demon cultivators were forbidden from entering. Besides, with the level of mastery that Qin Tian and others had achieved, the Japanese demon cultivators could not locate them, making them feel as if they were in an unguarded realm.
Toyota Choji's purpose was twofold: to conquer all demon cultivators and make them puppets in the Celestial Dynasty, and to control Wanghai City's economy.
Since the first objective was easily accomplished, they naturally began the second.
On Toyota Choji's command, the Japanese demon cultivators immediately fanned out across various industries in Wanghai City.
In no time, industries throughout Wanghai City saw their ownership change overnight.
The Japanese demon cultivators used threats or enticement to buy out all the small to medium industries at terribly low prices. Even if some business owners disagreed, they'd be coerced into signing contracts to sell their industries by the demon cultivators using soul skills to charm them.
Normally, the Black Dragon Association would have members overseeing these industries, but since the Black Dragon had summoned all members back to Black Dragon Castle, there was no demon cultivator present who could effectively resist the Japanese demon cultivators.
Even some business owners who escaped to seek help were met with dismay when they reached Black Dragon Castle, only to find it had disappeared and turned into an area overgrown with thorns.
These business owners were either killed by the pursuing Japanese demon cultivators or bitten to death by poisonous snakes in the thorns. Almost no one escaped misfortune.
Amidst all this, a red-haired man was seen desperately fleeing down a dark alley in Wanghai City, glancing back as though pursued by a demon.
This red-haired man was none other than the one who had clashed with Wang Yan before.
Behind him, five Japanese demon cultivators were in pursuit.
The red-haired man ran for a long time but could not shake his pursuers; they were closing in fast.
At this point, the red-haired man was utterly exhausted, breathless, while the demon cultivators followed like phantoms, closing in tight.
The red-haired man nearly despaired, his legs buckling as he collapsed to the ground, watching helplessly as the demon cultivators drew nearer.
Suddenly, the red-haired man brightened, seeing a figure at the end of the road walking toward him.
Seeing this person was like finding a lifeline amid drowning for the red-haired man.
Mustering his last bit of strength, he crawled up and ran to the figure, crashing to his knees in front of them, shouting, "Boss, save me!"
The person froze, came to a halt, and looked down, revealing a face full of disgust when seeing it was the red-haired man, then turned to step aside.
Yet the red-haired man clung desperately to this hope and wouldn't let go, rapidly crawling those few steps to the person and clutching their leg, crying, "Save me, Boss, someone wants to kill me, please help!"
The person being clung to showed even more disgust, face dark as water, and growled in a low voice, "Get off me."
The red-haired man was holding onto a man radiating righteousness, tall and robust, with a thick beard and eyes like lamps, exuding a faint aura of demon patterns.
This person was none other than Wang Yan's subordinate — Mountain Cannon.
Mountain Cannon, out from Peak Group for a night walk, was surprised to run into the red-haired man.
He naturally assumed the red-haired man's trouble stemmed from vying for business again.
Once affiliated with gangs, Mountain Cannon, under Wang Yan, was strictly prohibited from any illegal dealings.
Having left his past behind, Mountain Cannon focused on his role as the CEO of Peak Group.
Hearing about violence, Mountain Cannon was immediately repulsed and flung off the red-haired man, intending to leave.
Knowing Mountain Cannon's current status, the red-haired man, a mere street punk, dared not block him.
But with danger at his back and Mountain Cannon as his last hope, the red-haired man scrambled back to wrap himself around Mountain Cannon, refusing to let go.
Mountain Cannon frowned, snorting coldly, and with a lift, seized the red-haired man by the collar.
Lifted by the neck, the red-haired man went limp as Mountain Cannon effortlessly threw him aside.
```
Seeing his only hope not helping him, the red-haired man immediately burst into tears.
At this moment, five Japanese samurai appeared like phantoms beside the red-haired man, coldly saying, "Sign the contract, or die."
The red-haired man nodded repeatedly in fright, tremblingly accepting the contract from the Japanese samurai.
Mountain Cannon had already turned away, but upon hearing the stiff Celestial Dynasty language behind him, he stopped in his tracks and turned back.
Upon seeing the five Japanese samurai, Mountain Cannon's face sank, and he snorted coldly, "Japanese devils! Humph, since when can Japanese devils run wild in Wanghai City."
Originally, Mountain Cannon didn't want to interfere, but seeing the Japanese samurai, he immediately turned back, raised his hand towards the red-haired man and said, "Come here."
Hearing Mountain Cannon's summons, the red-haired man was overjoyed and quickly threw down the five Japanese samurai, running towards Mountain Cannon.
One of the Japanese samurai couldn't help but snort coldly, cursing, "Baka."
With that curse, he gripped the hilt of his sword, a cold light flashed, and the samurai sword unsheathed, slashing towards the red-haired man.
The samurai sword was extremely fast, about to slash the red-haired man in half.
Seeing that someone dared to kill in front of him, Mountain Cannon's expression turned cold. He raised his hand, grasped, and a surge of the Power of Demon Patterns flew out, wrapping around the red-haired man's waist, pulling him back to him in an instant.
The red-haired man felt a sudden tightness at his waist and immediately fell in front of Mountain Cannon.
Sitting on the ground, the red-haired man didn't understand how he had suddenly fallen over.
At that moment, the Japanese samurai's blade fell empty, his attack failing, causing his face to sink. Waving his samurai sword, he angrily said, "Baka, how dare you ruin my plans, come here and die."
Mountain Cannon ignored the Japanese samurai and instead took the contract from the red-haired man's hand, glanced at it, then said coldly, "You want to forcibly take his bar? Hmph, you're running wild in Wanghai City, I think your courage is too great."
The Japanese samurai snorted and said, "Ignorant Chinaman, go die."
Saying that, the Japanese samurai glared, raised his samurai sword, shouted, and charged at Mountain Cannon.
The other four Japanese samurai looked down on Mountain Cannon, stood there with contempt, as if one of them would easily chop Mountain Cannon down.
Seeing the Japanese samurai charge at him, Mountain Cannon stood coldly, unmoving.
In fact, earlier, Mountain Cannon had already seen clearly that these five Japanese samurai were each demon cultivators. However, they were only of Initial-Tier Demon Warrior level.
At this time, Mountain Cannon, after days and nights of cultivation and guidance from Wang Yan, had reached the level of Mid-Tier Demon Warrior, just a breath away from breaking through to High-Tier Demon Warrior.
Seeing the Japanese samurai holding a sword charging over, the red-haired boy sitting on the ground screamed in fright, hurriedly using both his feet to try and escape from the place.
However, he had only crawled two steps when the Japanese samurai had already charged over, stomped with his right foot, stepping on the red-haired boy's foot.
The red-haired boy, while crawling, suddenly felt his foot in immense pain, as if nailed to the ground, making it impossible to move forward.
The red-haired boy quickly looked back, only to see the Japanese samurai behind him raising his sword high, slashing it towards Mountain Cannon and himself.
This slash from the Japanese samurai seemed to want to cut both Mountain Cannon and the red-haired boy in two.
Frightened, the red-haired boy screamed, hastily closing his eyes, thinking, "It's over."
However, after a long time, the red-haired boy didn't feel the long blade fall. Confused, he slowly opened his eyes.
As his eyes opened, the red-haired boy was immediately stunned.
Because he saw that the Japanese samurai from before was gone.
The red-haired boy quickly looked around and saw that, at a distance of dozens of meters, the Japanese samurai was pressed upside down against the wall, and a human-shaped indentation had been smashed into the wall.
Greatly shocked, the red-haired boy looked blankly at the Japanese samurai, then at Mountain Cannon in front of him, not knowing what had just happened.
At this time, the remaining four Japanese samurai, like the red-haired boy, had just awakened from their shock.
The four shouted, drawing their samurai swords, and charged at Mountain Cannon with menacing roars.
Seeing this, the red-haired boy was so frightened he wanted to turn and flee.
However, the speed of the four Japanese samurai was extremely fast. In an instant, two of them circled behind Mountain Cannon, raising their samurai swords and slashing at his back.
The other two rushed in front of Mountain Cannon, their samurai swords slashing down as well.
Seeing the four blades coming from both front and back, Mountain Cannon coldly smiled and said, "Running wild in the land of Celestial Dynasty, I'll let you Japanese dogs know what it means to be ruthless."
As Mountain Cannon finished speaking, he raised his fists, shouting, and astonishingly met the four samurai swords with his bare fists.
Seeing this, the red-haired boy couldn't help but cry out in surprise.
These four samurai swords were incomparably sharp, glinting ominously under the moonlight.
Mountain Cannon was actually going to meet the blades with his fists. Isn't he asking for death?
