Armed helicopters flew over the Bai family manor, and hundreds of powerful warriors in combat uniforms, armed with weapons, descended.
Leading them was a young man with a buzz cut, his face grim and exuding a fierce aura.
He was Bai Lieyang, the most outstanding prodigy of the younger generation of the Bai family. Not yet thirty, he was already a Major in the military.
Bai Lieyang burst into the banquet hall and saw people from the other ten major families and members of the Bai family locked in combat.
Then, his eyes fell upon the corpse of his father, Bai Zhonghai.
"Who? Who killed my father?"
Bai Lieyang roared and rushed to his father's body.
All eyes in the hall turned to Bai Lieyang.
"It's him, Bai Lieyang, the Bai family's most outstanding prodigy. He's returned from the military!"
The patriarchs of the Ningjiang City influential families looked at Bai Lieyang with fear.
"Lieyang, you're a step too late. It was that bitch Wen Yuwei who killed your father with a single sword!"
Bai Chonghe, Bai Lieyang's fourth uncle, his eyes red, stared at Wen Yuwei's corpse, filled with hatred.
"Wen Yuwei? Isn't she my uncle's wife? How could she kill my father?"
Bai Lieyang's face was filled with confusion.
Bai Chonghe then recounted how Li Xingye had come to the Bai family for revenge, killed the Bai family patriarch, and made the Bai family turn on each other.
With the Bai family's prodigy returned from the military, his heart gained a measure of courage.
"Li Xingye, you've got some nerve!"
"You killed my grandfather and threatened to leave my Bai family in ruins? "
Bai Lieyang's hair stood on end as he clenched his fist and walked towards Li Xingye.
"I did, so what?"
Li Xingye glanced at Bai Lieyang and said calmly.
"Lieyang, don't be impulsive. Li Xingye is incredibly strong. Even peak Martial Masters are no match for his single punch. Don't confront him directly."
Bai Chonghe warned.
Everyone present had witnessed Li Xingye's terrifying strength.
Killing Martial Masters was like slaughtering dogs!
"Fourth Uncle, no need to worry. I've already broken through to the peak Martial Master realm and become a Martial King."
Bai Lieyang said confidently, unleashing a terrifying aura only a Martial King possessed.
"This... this... Bai Lieyang has actually broken through to Martial King!"
"Bai Lieyang is truly the Bai family's prodigy!"
"Li Xingye probably can't defeat Bai Lieyang, right!"
...
A wave of exclamations swept through the banquet hall, all stunned by Bai Lieyang's Martial King aura.
Bai Lieyang, a Martial King before thirty, had an immeasurable future.
He could even lead the Bai family to become a top-tier influential power.
"Kill!"
Bai Lieyang unleashed his Martial King power and threw a punch at Li Xingye.
"Boom!"
A thunderous roar.
Bai Lieyang's body flew back like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily near Bai Bingyue and Wen Yuwei, the mother and daughter.
"The Bai family's prodigy is nothing more than this!"
Li Xingye glanced at the spitting blood Bai Lieyang on the ground with disdain.
"You... How can your strength be so terrifying?"
Bai Lieyang clutched his chest, his face filled with shock.
He had experienced countless life-and-death battles in the military to break through to the Martial King realm.
He never expected to be unable to withstand a single punch from Li Xingye.
Moreover, Li Xingye was even younger than him, yet so outrageously powerful.
"Bold intruder, how dare you injure Major Bai of the military!"
An angry roar echoed as a group of warriors armed with sophisticated equipment and weapons charged in, surrounding Li Xingye.
These were all Bai Lieyang's subordinates from the military, each a martial warrior.
"What does it matter if he's a Major? Whoever dares to block me, I'll kill!"
Li Xingye said coldly.
His overbearing aura made the military warriors hesitant to act.
"Bai Lieyang, your father's killer is Wen Yuwei. I helped you kill her, you should be thanking me."
Li Xingye said to the fallen Bai Lieyang with a playful smirk.
"Lieyang, Li Xingye is right. The one who killed your father was that bitch Wen Yuwei, and it was that bastard Bai Bingyue who caused our Bai family's ruin."
Bai Chonghe, dragging a broken arm, yelled at Wen Yuwei and Bai Bingyue.
If Bai Bingyue hadn't provoked Li Xingye, she wouldn't have brought disaster upon the Bai family.
"Bai Bingyue?"
Bai Lieyang looked at Bai Bingyue, who had a swollen face, with astonishment, utterly confused by his fourth uncle's words.
"Bai Bingyue is not our Bai family's person at all. She's not eldest brother's biological daughter, but the bastard child Wen Yuwei had with another man. She is the one who implicated the entire Bai family!"
"Lieyang, quickly kill this bastard Bai Bingyue!"
Bai Chonghe said with bloodshot eyes.
It turned out he had overheard the secret of Bai Bingyue's parentage that Wen Yuwei had revealed before her death.
Thinking that the downfall of the Bai family was due to this bastard Bai Bingyue, Bai Chonghe was filled with rage.
He wished he could flay Bai Bingyue and her mother alive.
"Bai Bingyue, you bitch, you caused our Bai family's ruin!"
Bai Lieyang turned to Bai Bingyue, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
Bai Bingyue had been spoiled and willful since childhood, relying on her status as the patriarch's daughter to act imperiously and without restraint, often bullying others in the family.
What was worse, Bai Bingyue had no Bai family bloodline at all, being the bastard child Wen Yuwei had with another man.
"No... don't kill me..."
"I... I don't know anything."
Bai Bingyue was panicked and felt very wronged.
She had only recently learned from her mother that her biological father was not Bai Zhongshan, but someone else.
Li Xingye watched this scene unfold and found it quite amusing.
His revenge drama had somehow evolved into a family ethics drama.
However, Bai Bingyue's background seemed not simple. Her biological father's origins were considerable, far beyond what Bai Zhongshan could compare to.
"Whoever dares to touch my Ye Tian's woman, I will kill."
Suddenly, a cold voice rang out. Ye Tian walked in from outside wearing flip-flops.
"Ye Tian? That useless son-in-law of the Bai family, why is he here too?"
Everyone's eyes widened in surprise when they saw Ye Tian, the useless son-in-law.
Ye Tian was a cowardly good-for-nothing, idling around all day, often humiliated and slapped by Bai Bingyue and her mother.
Nobody expected Ye Tian to step forward at this moment to protect Bai Bingyue.
"Don't worry, Bing'er. With me, Ye Tian, protecting you, no one can harm a single strand of your hair!"
Ye Tian declared with conviction.
He still looked at the pig-faced Bai Bingyue with the demeanor of a devoted sycophant, even reaching out to help her.
"Slap!"
Bai Bingyue, seeing Ye Tian about to touch her, instinctively slapped him.
"Don't touch me!"
"Ye Tian, you're a failure yourself, how can you protect me?"
Bai Bingyue said coldly, still finding Ye Tian, the good-for-nothing, unbearable.
She had been beaten to a pulp and turned into a pig's head, and he was only arriving now.
Was this his so-called protection? Not harming her a single hair?
Nonsense, all nonsense.
Bai Bingyue didn't believe Ye Tian could protect her at all.
Ye Tian, having been slapped, did not show any anger.
However, this time he put away his usual annoying demeanor, and for once, his expression turned serious.
"Alright, no more acting. Actually, I am the Dragon King."
Ye Tian spat out the toothpick he was holding and spoke with a crooked smile.
