Liu Biao was being very direct. He no longer wanted any of the conditions previously promised by the Alliance. As long as he could get rid of Chen Zheng, he was willing to give it all up.

"President Liu, I, Liu Chang, promise you this: after the conference, you will be incredibly grateful for the choice you've made today. The Association will be replaced, sooner or later!"

After saying this, Liu Chang turned to Gao Feng with a meaningful look, the corners of his mouth curling into a cold smile. "President Gao, he's one of my Alliance's men now!"

"I heard someone came here to cause trouble. Well, I'm going to help him have a little chat about that!"

By the time he finished speaking, Liu Chang's gaze had already fallen on Chen Zheng, and his body erupted with an unimaginable aura.

"You think a piece of trash like you is worthy of my brother-in-law dealing with you himself?"

"I'll deal with you!" Xu Da stepped forward, meeting Liu Chang's aura head-on. The pressure instantly collapsed and vanished.

Liu Chang was stunned. He never imagined this guy was a master too!

"How arrogant!" At that moment, the two profoundly skilled elders also made their move. They stepped forward in unison, their tsunami-like aura crashing down on Xu Da.

Xu Da snorted, his body involuntarily bending under the pressure.

"ARGH!" he roared furiously, forcing his body straight again.

Seeing this, the two elders were completely shocked. Even Gao Feng couldn't help but furrow his brow. This was ridiculous. Those two are masters of internal strength! An ordinary person couldn't withstand even a fraction of their pressure, yet Xu Da managed to endure it head-on! The people around Master Chen are truly extraordinary!

Chen Zheng nodded slowly. The Lesser Essence-Nourishing Pills Xu Da had taken recently hadn't gone to waste. His physical fortitude has finally reached my standards.

Just then, Chen Zheng slowly raised his hand and gently snapped his fingers.

Instantly, the pressure on Xu Da vanished without a trace. Seeing this, the two elders looked over in utter shock.

"Who are you?" Liu Chang asked, his brows knitted tightly as he stared at Chen Zheng.

"You should have heard the name... Chen Zheng," he said casually.

"It's really you!" Liu Chang's expression changed dramatically.

"So it was you who cut off my granduncle's hand?" As he spoke, his expression turned fierce.

"I haven't even taken my men to Yunshan to hunt you down, and you have the audacity to show up here. I really admire your nerve! There's no need to wait for the conference. I'll send you to your funeral right now!" Liu Chang bellowed, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.

If not for his grandfather's repeated warnings, he would have led his men to Yunshan to slaughter this bastard long ago. I never expected we'd run into each other here. Now we can settle both new and old grudges without waiting for the conference.

"Liu Chang, don't think you can strut around here just because you're Liu Changyun's grandson! Master Chen is our Association's honorary president. You can try and lay a finger on him!" Gao Feng shouted. Even though the other side has two masters of internal strength, the Association still has its pride. I don't believe they'd dare to make a move right now!

"Gao Feng," Liu Chang began, "don't try to use the Association to pressure me. After this conference, my grandfather will apply to have your Association dissolved. Everyone will be merged into our Alliance!

"The provincial government has already approved it. From now on, your Association has no special privileges and will be under our authority!

"I'm advising you not to meddle in things that don't concern you. Hand over this punk. I'll tell you the truth—not even you can protect him today!" Liu Chang pointed at Chen Zheng, speaking with immense pride.

"You..." Gao Feng's eyes widened in shock. He knew they weren't just bluffing. He'd already heard the rumors. Not just in Jiangnan, but all across the country, the Alliance's power was growing at an incredible rate, and it had caught the attention of the higher-ups. Many regions have already started dissolving their Associations and merging the members into the Alliance!

The thought brought a sharp pain to Gao Feng's heart, followed by a profound sense of powerlessness. I can't change any of this on my own!

"President Gao, don't believe such childish talk. Rest assured, as long as I am here, the Association will continue to exist. It's impossible for it to be dissolved," Chen Zheng said reassuringly.

He had the strength and the standing to make such a claim.

"Kid, who the hell do you think you are?" Liu Chang sneered. "Why don't you take a piss and look at your own reflection? You really think you're invincible?" I've heard he has a military background, but what good is that? With the Alliance's current power, not even the military can act with impunity!

"You should worry about yourself first. Let's see if you can even leave here alive," Liu Chang snorted.

After he spoke, the two elders behind him stepped forward, poised to strike at any moment.

"Your name is Liu Chang, correct?" Chen Zheng suddenly asked. "I'd like to know, how many grandsons does your grandfather, Liu Changyun, have?"

Liu Chang never expected such a question. "Only me. What of it?"

"In that case, I feel I must remind you to be careful. You wouldn't want to leave your grandfather without any descendants, would you?" Chen Zheng said with a smile.

"You... you're courting death!" Liu Chang's face flushed crimson. This bastard is unbelievably arrogant. I know he's the one who cut off Granduncle Liu Changhai's hand, and my granduncle is a master. But Liu Changhai was already seriously injured at the time. This kid can't be that strong.

"Kid, you can only blame your bad luck. The Association can't protect you. Today is the day you die!"

"But don't you worry. I'll take very good care of that beautiful wife of yours. I won't let her suffer in the slightest!" Liu Biao chimed in, laughing proudly. With two masters of internal strength on the Alliance's side, this kid is doomed!

"I'd like to see who dares to make a move here today!"

Just then, an incredibly authoritative voice came from outside. A middle-aged man with a solemn expression walked in, flanked by two subordinates.

"Director Liu?" Liu Chang froze when he saw the man. This is a real big shot! My grandfather and I visited him once, so of course I recognize him!

"Director Liu, I never imagined you would know about this!" Gao Feng, equally shocked, hurried over to greet him.
