"There's no need to bring up your master. Even if your ancient ancestors themselves were to appear, they wouldn't dare act so presumptuously in front of our God of War!" Zhao Feng said with undisguised mockery, shaking his head.

"You just wait, Chen Zheng, you son of a…"

Before Xu Tianlong could finish his curse, Zhao Feng lifted a foot and fiercely kicked him away. He traced a graceful arc through the air before crashing heavily onto the ground, kicking up a large cloud of dust.

This sudden turn of events completely dumbfounded the surrounding alliance disciples. The man was simply too formidable!

Not only that, but many of the influential figures in the crowd also slowly rose to their feet, watching the scene in utter shock.

The commotion had also alarmed some of the alliance's experts, as well as the people brought by the Zheng and Fan families. Realizing what was happening, they immediately rushed over.

Ma Weiyuan made no move. Even though his own son had been put in his place, he showed no reaction at all. After all, the man was a complete waste; it wouldn't matter if he died right here. To him, Xu Tianlong was no different from an outsider.

But no matter what, Chen Zheng was as good as dead today.

"Chen Zheng, you're beyond saving! It's useless even if you kneel before me now!" Xu Tianlong trembled as he staggered to his feet, his eyes brimming with immense hatred. "I swear I'll kill you today!"

If looks could kill, Chen Zheng would have already been torn to pieces.

"What a loser, only capable of spouting useless nonsense. Daring to be so disrespectful to our association's Honorary Chairman… you're truly courting death!" Just then, a large group of people emerged from nearby.

Gao Feng had arrived with his men!

The association, after all, still possessed considerable strength. Although it had declined, the foundation it had built over so many years was no joke, and it had quite a few experts.

The two sides quickly reached a standoff.

"Mr. Chen is an honored guest of mine, Feng Jingsheng. Today, I'd like to see who dares to lay a finger on him!" A Rolls-Royce Phantom drove over from a distance, followed by a convoy of cars that stretched as far as the eye could see.

Feng Jingsheng and his daughter had arrived.

With a dignified air, they and their retinue slowly took their places behind Chen Zheng.

"Anyone who dares to oppose Mr. Chen today is an enemy of our Liu Family!" Liu Yumei also arrived, followed by the Liu Family's top experts.

"Mr. Chen is a great benefactor to my grandfather. The Sun Family also gives its full support to Mr. Chen!" Immediately after, dozens more cars arrived. Sun Doudou, accompanied by a host of imposing middle-aged men, also walked over.

"You all came?" Chen Zheng was stunned for a moment and sighed helplessly. A mere martial arts tournament had attracted so many people.

"We will live or die with Mr. Chen!"

The members of the several families and the association all stood together, shouting in unison. Their combined presence was truly formidable.

All the great families of Jiangnan present were shocked. They never expected that this young man, who looked to be barely in his twenties, could command such loyalty. Apart from Feng Jingsheng, the Sun and Liu families had also stood up for him, along with the association.

With the power currently on display, they could already claim half of Jiangnan's territory.

The momentum on the alliance's side immediately plummeted. Their own strength was formidable, but their opponents' network of allies was just too powerful. The alliance had lost many of its experts at the mines, so their forces were now somewhat insufficient.

Seeing that a fight was about to break out, the people from the Fan and Zheng families couldn't help but take a step back. With Gao Feng leading the charge on the other side, they stood no chance.

"Honorary Chairman?" Seeing so many people arrive, Xu Tianlong and the others were even more shocked by this news.

Gao Feng had just announced it—Chen Zheng was the association's Honorary Chairman, and they had heard it loud and clear.

"Chen Zheng, I never would have thought you were the association's Honorary Chairman!"

"That internal energy master in his early twenties… it was you?"

"Liu Changhai's hands—was it you who chopped them off?"

The expressions on the three men's faces turned exceedingly ugly. They were all about the same age, yet this man not only commanded a powerful following but had also reached the level of an internal energy master himself.

It just wasn't fair!

"Mr. Chen is indeed our association's Honorary Chairman, and today he will represent our association in the martial arts tournament. If you're looking to die right now, I wouldn't mind helping Mr. Chen by taking care of trash like you!" Gao Feng took an aggressive step forward, and an overwhelming aura swept over the area.

Fan Xukun and the others quickly retreated, their faces pale.

Gao Feng had recently recovered his strength as an internal energy master. These members of the younger generation simply couldn't withstand his aura. Those enveloped by it couldn't help but feel sweat bead on their foreheads.

However, Gao Feng was only trying to intimidate them and had no intention of making a move just yet, especially with experts from other regions present. Given his status, it wouldn't be right for him to attack these juniors.

At this, both sides pulled back, quickly returning to their respective positions.

Feng Yueyue glanced at Chen Zheng with concern before following her father.

As Feng Jingsheng walked over, he happened to see Ma Weiyuan. The two were old rivals, and as their gazes locked, sparks flew between them.

"Xu Ronghua… I should call you Ma Weiyuan now, shouldn't I? I never expected you to still be alive. You've given me quite a surprise!" Feng Jingsheng sneered.

"The same could be said for anyone, Feng 'God of Wealth.' I do admire your judgment, but I can only tell you that this time, you've backed the wrong person!" Ma Weiyuan curled his lip, speaking with undisguised disdain.

"Really? Back then, I chose his father, and today, I choose him. My judgment has never been wrong. But you… you will always be the pitiful one I've always looked down on!" Feng Jingsheng said with biting sarcasm.

When Xu Ronghua had first arrived, he had sought Feng Jingsheng's help, but Feng had completely dismissed him and flatly refused. To bring it all up now, right to his face, was like a vicious slap.

Ma Weiyuan's face turned extremely ugly. "Feng Jingsheng, you're courting death!"

In fact, Feng Jingsheng had known Chen Zheng's identity for some time. The day Chen Zheng had personally visited his home, he remembered that this was Chen Yuan's son. He had always greatly admired Chen Yuan's talent and character, which was why he had supported him. He just never anticipated everything that happened afterward…
