Chapter 270: Tonggu Alliance

The entire skyscraper belonged to the Tonggu Alliance. Chu Feng stepped forward.

"Sir, please stop." A uniformed security guard, two meters tall with cold eyes, blocked Chu Feng's path.

It was clear he was an extraordinary individual, and not weak. He expressionlessly informed Chu Feng that this was private property, not open to the public.

"Son, son, we didn't come to the wrong place. We're here to collect a debt from the Tonggu Alliance," the Donkey King announced, his words sounding like an insult.

He had transformed into human form, appearing to be in his fifties or sixties, with a head full of gray hair, a pair of long ears sticking out, and large front teeth. When he smiled, he looked particularly sly.

The two-meter-tall security guard glared, struggling to suppress his anger. He again emphasized that outsiders were not allowed to approach without an appointment.

"Looks like you're not as famous as you think; they don't even recognize you," the Yellow Ox chuckled, looking at Chu Feng.

Chu Feng said nothing and walked straight ahead. He was here to collect a debt, and he wouldn't bother with the security personnel in front of him; his targets were the high-ranking members of the Tonggu Alliance.

"Stop!" the security guard roared, immediately alerting a group of tall, burly men in black uniforms. They rushed out of the building together and surrounded Chu Feng and his companions.

Chu Feng ignored them and continued to walk forward. The Northeast Tiger and the Black Ox followed closely behind, forcing their way inside.

In their eyes, these extraordinary individuals were no different from scarecrows. They might be powerful to ordinary people, but they were far inferior to king-level beings.

"Are you looking for death?!" the leading security guard yelled, swinging a dark, gleaming baton in his hand and smashing it down directly onto Chu Feng.

"Crack!"

The powerful electric arc was astonishing, many times more powerful than an ordinary stun baton. An ordinary person hit by it would likely be killed.

"Quite domineering," Chu Feng murmured. He raised his left hand and pointed lightly. With a crackle, an electric arc, similar to the first, shattered the black baton and sent the two-meter-tall strongman flying.

These people were all secretly trained, having undergone long-term closed-door training. They were brutal towards enemies; even if they had recognized Chu Feng, they would still have dared to attack him.

The group roared, swinging their black stun batons and attacking simultaneously. Unfortunately, they were no match. Chu Feng's body glowed, and in an instant, he sent them all flying.

He walked leisurely into the building.

"How dare you act so recklessly here? Get down on the ground, all of you!" Inside the building, another group of black-clad individuals were surprisingly carrying firearms—all large-caliber guns.

"Damn, you're really an underground organization, a black kingdom! You dare to use these things in the city? Are you above the law?!" the Black Ox shouted from behind.

He threw away the carrot-thick cigar he had been chewing on. His dark face darkened as he unbuttoned his white shirt and adjusted his large sunglasses. White smoke began to issue from his mouth and nose as he prepared to act.

It must be said, his appearance was indeed intimidating. As a result, most of the guns were aimed at him.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

Furthermore, these people were extremely brutal; some directly opened fire, intending to kill Chu Feng and the Black Ox!

Both Chu Feng and the Black Ox were surprised. "These people dare to act like this in the city? They are truly reckless and lawless!"

Although they knew these large consortiums had immense power, wielding terrifying authority in their respective territories, such blatant domineering behavior was still beyond their expectations.

"Bastards!"

The Black Ox was enraged. He transformed into a black whirlwind, spinning and kicking forward.

Bullets were useless against him, clanging off his body as if he were invulnerable. When his foot struck, the person flew through the air like a rag doll.

Just as the others were about to move, it was time for the Donkey King to make his move. He reverted to his true form, braying, "Hee-haw, hee-haw, hee-haw..."

He was incredibly fast, darting across the area. He gave everyone a donkey kick, sending a large group of black-clad individuals flying, all with broken bones and ligaments, rolling on the ground.

Suddenly, the Black Ox was horrified, his hair standing on end. He quickly leaped into the air and lunged towards a certain direction.

At the same time, Chu Feng unleashed his flying sword, shredding a room. Surprisingly, there was a laser weapon there—this was truly astonishing!

In the city, on the ground floor of a skyscraper, such a powerful weapon was directly deployed, which was alarming.

"Hee-haw, hee-haw, you're looking for death!" The Donkey King was also enraged. His four hooves spread out, moving incredibly swiftly, flying horizontally, and together with the Black Ox, he destroyed all the devices on the ground floor.

"This truly is an independent black kingdom," Chu Feng sneered.

Just then, the clicking sound of high heels echoed as a beautiful woman, wearing a short skirt that revealed her long, fair legs, approached. Her long hair was coiled up, her face was exquisite, and her narrow eyes seemed to speak.

"Chu... Feng, Mr. Chu, this is truly unexpected. We didn't expect you to visit our Tonggu Alliance. I apologize, these people don't know the rules and have offended you. Please forgive us."

The uniformed beauty was exceptionally polite, offering both apologies and excuses. She explained that the black-clad individuals had been in closed training, had just been transferred, and didn't recognize Chu Feng, leading to the misunderstanding.

At the same time, she said she would immediately inform the high-ranking members of the Tonggu Alliance, and they would arrive shortly.

Her name was Li Liqiong. From the attitude of the black-clad individuals and others who arrived from throughout the building upon hearing the commotion, it was evident her status was quite high.

As one doesn't hit a smiling person, Chu Feng didn't want to involve innocent people. He was looking for those who had tried to harm him from behind the scenes.

They entered the elevator and went directly to a massive reception room on the forty-fifth floor, quietly waiting for some high-ranking members of the Tonggu Alliance to arrive from other locations.

Some important personnel were already there. A young man appeared, with a gentle face and refined features. He was calm and low-key, politely greeting them and repeatedly apologizing, saying the security personnel had been too rude.

Li Liqiong introduced him, saying, "This is Young Master Zhang, Zhang Cheng. The Zhang family is one of the Tonggu Alliance's important members."

"Please, 'Young Master'? Isn't that an insult to me?" Zhang Cheng said humbly. "Brother Chu, just call me Zhang Cheng. If you're willing to call me brother, I'd be honored."

Chu Feng looked at him, simple and direct. No matter how humble or polite the other party was, he had only one message: he was here to collect a debt!

Zhang Cheng was surprised, then seemed to realize, saying, "Could it be that Uncle Liu's disappearance is related to the recent widespread rumors of the kings hunting Brother Chu?"

The "Uncle Liu" he referred to was Liu Ziheng, the human king captured by Chu Feng on Mount Yunluo.

Chu Feng offered a faint, somewhat cold smile, saying, "How does the Tonggu Alliance intend to explain this to me?"

Subtly, he exuded killing intent. The kings in Jiangxi had ambushed him twice. Human king-level powerhouses were more insidious and vicious than the mutated creatures.

On Mount Yunluo, the Peacock King had considered retreating and flying away, but Liu Ziheng and another human king had strongly dissuaded him, uniting the other kings, insisting on killing Chu Feng.

It could be said that the people from the consortium were even more ruthless than the mutated creatures, single-mindedly intent on killing Chu Feng.

Zhang Cheng appeared very surprised and puzzled, saying, "How could Uncle Liu do something like this? We had no idea."

Chu Feng remained silent, and the Black Ox, Northeast Tiger, and others also had cold expressions.

"If the situation is true, and Uncle Liu truly committed such an outrageous act, we will absolutely not tolerate it. We will severely punish him and give Brother Chu a satisfactory explanation."

"Severely punish him? Can he even come back alive?!" the Black Ox said with a grim face.

"It is our fault that such a thing happened. Regardless, the Tonggu Alliance must give Brother Chu an explanation," Zhang Cheng said with a sigh and a look of regret.

Li Liqiong spoke softly, saying that some high-ranking members of the Tonggu Alliance had arrived.

Chu Feng stood by the reception room window, looking into the distance. This was the forty-fifth floor, directly facing West Lake. There, snow filled the sky, while here it felt like midsummer—a truly strange sight, separated by only seven or eight li.

Four elderly men pushed open the door and entered. One of them was Zhang Cheng's uncle, Zhang Yuanhang.

The elderly men said they were very shocked when they heard about the incident on their way here. They had no idea that Liu Ziheng had acted on his own and done such a thing.

Zhang Yuanhang, dressed in a Tang suit, appeared energetic and in his fifties. However, he now adopted a very humble posture, constantly apologizing and saying he was willing to compensate Chu Feng.

"In any case, Liu Ziheng was a king-level expert we invited. Since he did this behind our backs, the Tonggu Alliance is willing to bear some responsibility."

The other three elderly men also spoke, expressing their apologies.

Chu Feng observed with cold eyes, as if he were an outsider, not saying a word. This was because the matter had already been thoroughly investigated; Liu Ziheng had confessed that someone from the Tonggu Alliance had indeed asked him to act, and it was specifically the Zhang family.

These people were still making excuses, feigning innocence.

The Northeast Tiger sneered, "Then first, send over a few Dharma artifacts. And quickly present the breathing techniques."

"This... we really don't have them. Although our Tonggu Alliance has some treasures, we don't have such things," Zhang Yuanhang sighed.

Chu Feng's lips curved into a cold smile. On that day, a human king had used a Dharma artifact like the Purple-Gold Thunder Hammer to kill him, which clearly showed the profound resources of the consortium. How could they not have such items?

The Black Ox's face was grim. He felt that although the Tonggu Alliance was apologizing, they lacked sincerity and seemed to be relying on something.

"How do you intend to resolve this matter?" the Yellow Ox asked directly.

"From now on, all of you will be esteemed guests of our Tonggu Alliance. Whenever you need our help, we will do our utmost to assist," an elder said, and then wrote a check on the spot.

Chu Feng glanced at it: a string of zeros after the number, a full billion. For ordinary people, this was an astonishing sum, more than they could spend in several lifetimes.

But Chu Feng's expression remained calm, because any king-level creature he killed would be worth far more.

The Black Ox's face immediately darkened, and he said, "Are you despising my brother? Is the life of a peerless expert only worth a billion? Are you trying to arrogantly buy us off?"

"Brother Chu, if you think it's too little, we can add a large sum to it. We will certainly try our best to satisfy everyone," the elder said, about to write another check. He explained again, "Liu Ziheng acted on his own; it truly has nothing to do with us. He might have said nonsense to protect himself, dragging us into this, but we are innocent."

Zhang Yuanhang also repeatedly stated that the Tonggu Alliance would thoroughly investigate the matter, and anyone who had provided convenience to Liu Ziheng would be apprehended.

Zhang Cheng spoke, saying, "Brother Chu, please calm down. We are also helpless in this matter, but rest assured, you will get your satisfaction and will be appeased. Please don't be angry."

He had a look of sincerity, and his posture became even humbler as he bowed to Chu Feng in apology.

Even the elderly men repeatedly clasped their hands in salute, asking for his forgiveness.

Just then, Chu Feng's communicator rang. It was Old Man Lu Tong calling.

"Chu Feng, alas, I don't know how to say this," Lu Tong said, seemingly very troubled.

"Just say it. Why are you being so formal with me?" Chu Feng said, moving away from the reception room to talk to him privately.

"People from the Tonggu Alliance found me and asked me to persuade you not to deal with them," Lu Tong said.

The Tonggu Alliance had immense power and connections. They contacted Lu Tong immediately, especially just now, when they had used every means to persuade him, informed him, and asked him to stop Chu Feng and definitely help.

"Their reach is quite long; they've even interfered with Jade Void Palace," Chu Feng said. "And they want you to restrain me? Old man, would you care about their attitude?!"

Chu Feng's eyes were cold and deep. Did the Tonggu Alliance, with its far-reaching connections, really think they could smooth things over and make him change his mind?

"I originally refused, but then the Palace Master personally called me and asked me to help them this one time," Lu Tong informed him, his head aching.

"The Master of Jade Void Palace?" Chu Feng was greatly surprised. What connection did this peerless powerhouse have with the Tonggu Alliance?

Lu Tong sighed, "It is said that the Palace Master once owed them a favor. The Tonggu Alliance had once given him a boxing manual containing an astonishing breathing technique."

Chu Feng hung up the communicator and walked back. His expression was indifferent. These people truly had great capabilities; not only did they find Lu Tong, but they also enlisted the Master of Jade Void Palace.

Seeing him return like this, a glint of light flashed deep within Zhang Yuanhang's eyes and then vanished.

Chu Feng sat down, still not speaking. While he didn't launch an attack, he also showed no intention of leaving.

Next, the people from the Tonggu Alliance adopted an even humbler posture, making it impossible to find any fault with them.

Suddenly, Zhang Cheng's communicator rang. After glancing at it, he seemed surprised and delighted. He answered, and with respect, said, "Uncle, please rest assured, we will resolve this satisfactorily. Yes, Brother Chu is indeed here. Okay, I'll give him the communicator."

At this moment, the Black Ox, Northeast Tiger, Donkey King, and others were all startled. Who was on the other end of the communicator? They heard the voice, and the person's aura seemed very strong.

Zhang Cheng walked over and softly said to Chu Feng, "It's truly unexpected. Uncle Yuan found out about this and personally contacted me."

Then, he told Chu Feng that Uncle Yuan was the Master of Jade Void Palace, and he had personally called. This startled the Black Ox, Northeast Tiger, and others.

Chu Feng took the communicator. Immediately, a middle-aged man's gentle voice came from the other end, saying, "Xiao Chu, how about doing me a favor?"

It was indeed the Master of Jade Void Palace, personally calling Chu Feng to plead for the Tonggu Alliance, asking Chu Feng to let them off.

Chu Feng's pupils contracted. He looked at the people in the reception room. Were they using the Master of Jade Void Palace to pressure him?!
