Ye Tian performed the Creation Needle Technique, inserting nine needles into Bai Bingyue's body with speed.
Bai Bingyue writhed in pain, cold sweat beading on her forehead.
However, after the nine needles, her face remained swollen and bruised, showing no change.
"How... how is this possible? Why would my Creation Nine Needles fail?"
Ye Tian was shocked, unable to comprehend the source of the problem.
His Creation Nine Needles could cure any difficult and complicated disease.
Yet, this time, they had completely failed on Bai Bingyue.
"Slap!"
Bai Bingyue slapped Ye Tian hard across the face.
"Useless! What kind of bullshit Creation Nine Needles is this? It had no effect at all!"
Seeing her still-swollen face and the wasted nine needles, Bai Bingyue flew into a rage.
"Impossible, my Creation Nine Needles can bring the dead back to life and flesh to withered bones; it cannot possibly be ineffective."
Ye Tian clutched his face, defending himself, his expression one of disbelief.
His Creation Nine Needles could harness the forces of heaven and earth, and this was the first time they had failed.
"Slap!"
Bai Bingyue slapped him again with her other hand.
"Bring the dead back to life and flesh to withered bones? Why don't you fly to the heavens?"
"Useless is useless, stop pretending to be a miracle doctor. I even gave you a chance, trash!"
"Get out!"
Bai Bingyue, in a fit of fury, kicked Ye Tian out of her chamber.
She shouldn't have trusted this cowardly Ye Tian, this so-called miracle doctor who couldn't cure the poison curse that Li Xingye had inflicted upon her!
"Tomorrow is the Old Master's 100th birthday. Celebrities from all walks of life will gather at the Bai family to offer their congratulations. You shouldn't come out looking like this and embarrass us!"
Bai Chongshan uttered this parting shot and left the room without looking back.
Furthermore, he locked Bai Bingyue inside.
Although Bai Bingyue was his daughter, her appearance as a bruised mess would only make her a laughingstock.
The Bai family could not afford such disgrace.
Therefore, Bai Chongshan had no intention of letting Bai Bingyue attend the Old Master's centennial birthday banquet.
Bai Bingyue, who was once his pride, had now become the shame of the Bai family!
"Li Xingye, why are you doing this to me? You are so cruel!"
Bai Bingyue buried her swollen face in the quilt, feeling both fear and hatred for Li Xingye.
She was too ashamed to face anyone in her current state.
And all of this was Li Xingye's doing.
Li Xingye not killing her was a fate far more cruel than death itself!
...
Meanwhile, within the opulent Wang family, the atmosphere was heavy and oppressive.
Although the Wang family was not as prominent as the Bai family, being only a second-tier wealthy clan, their wealth surpassed that of the Bai family.
The head of the Wang family, Wang Jianfu, was the richest man in Ningjiang City, known as Chief Rich Wang.
Now, his only son had been murdered, and his body had been returned by the police, draped in white cloth and laid out in the main hall.
And the killer, Li Xingye, was still at large, with even the police unable to apprehend him.
Three years ago, the Li family was destroyed, and the Wang family had taken the opportunity to seize a significant portion of their assets.
Now, the Wang family was also facing retaliation from Li Xingye!
Young Master Wang had gone to Cloud Top Clubhouse to bid for the virginity of Li Xingye's sister, only to be killed on the spot.
"Li Xingye, you dare to kill my only son, and I will not rest until you are dead!"
"I am offering a bounty of 100 million in the underworld. I want Li Xingye's head before dawn!"
Old Wang was furious, issuing a sky-high bounty in the underworld for Li Xingye's head.
Not only the wealthy Wang family, but in another first-tier wealthy clan, the Yuan family, a group of people surrounded a corpse, their hearts filled with grief.
"Bang!"
Yuan Chongjin, the head of the Yuan family, smashed the tea table with his palm, his face ashen. The deceased was his son, Yuan Zhengshao.
"Master, you must find the killer and annihilate his entire clan to avenge my son!"
The speaker was a middle-aged woman adorned with opulent jewelry, named Nie Rongyin. Her maiden family was the second-tier wealthy Nie family, and she was also Yuan Chongjin's wife.
Her eyes held a venomous glint. The Yuan and Nie families had always been the ones to bully and kill, and in Ningjiang City, almost no one dared to provoke them.
This time, their son had been inexplicably murdered at Cloud Top Clubhouse.
"Anyone who dares to kill my son, Yuan Chongjin, no matter who they are, I will tear them to shreds!"
Yuan Chongjin roared, his face contorted with savagery.
He was a vengeful man; anyone who offended him would be dealt with through various despicable means.
Moreover, this time, it was his son who had died, a situation that was absolutely irreconcilable.
Not only the wealthy Wang and Yuan families of Ningjiang City, but other prominent families like the Xu, Chen, Lu, and Tu families also had scions killed by Li Xingye.
Li Xingye had stirred up a hornet's nest. The ten major wealthy clans of Ningjiang City were enraged, vowing to tear him to pieces!
A mere youth from a third-rate family dared to provoke the ten major clans simultaneously; he was courting death!
The ten major clans were all mobilizing their influence to ensure Li Xingye's demise.
For a time, the entire Ningjiang City was shrouded in an atmosphere of impending slaughter, giving a terrifying sense of suppressed tension, as if a storm was about to break the city.
No one who had simultaneously offended the ten major wealthy clans of Ningjiang City had ever lived to see another day.
However, when the ten major wealthy clans learned that Li Xingye had not fled but had instead taken control of Starlight Hotel, their expressions turned to disbelief.
Arrogant!
This young man was far too arrogant!
After killing many direct descendants of the ten major clans, he dared to remain in Ningjiang City instead of fleeing?
Who gave him such courage and confidence?
At this moment, Li Xingye was in the presidential suite of Starlight Hotel, leisurely accompanying his sister.
After her bath, Li Xingcai changed into a beautiful new dress, looking like a little princess.
After coaxing his sister to sleep, Li Xingye left the presidential suite alone.
He was acutely aware that the retaliation from the ten major clans would arrive soon.
"Young Master Li, it's bad!"
"The Black Wolf Gang, the Giant Shark Gang, and the Viper Gang are here! They have surrounded the entire hotel and are coming to arrest you!"
The female CEO, Liu Yan, hurried towards him, her face filled with panic.
The Black Wolf Gang, Giant Shark Gang, and Viper Gang were all criminal syndicates in Jiangcheng, responsible for murder, arson, and all manner of evil deeds.
In fact, these gangs were largely controlled or supported by some wealthy families behind the scenes.
"Don't panic, they are just some insignificant rabble!"
Li Xingye said calmly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
Tonight, he would inevitably have to unleash a bloody slaughter!
