The Alchemist Tower.
Zheng Zhongtian returned here without a word and immediately found Hua Tianyi, the Tower Master of the Alchemist Tower.
"Tower Master, I want Bai Zihe dead!"
Hua Tianyi was in seclusion, preparing for tomorrow's Medical Convention. Such a furious declaration, unexpectedly emerging from within, quickly drew him out.
He saw Zheng Zhongtian and his anger flared immediately.
At this very moment.
Zheng Zhongtian's two old faces were swollen high, as if they had been soaked in blood for three days and three nights, disfigured by the swelling.
"Old Zheng, what exactly happened?"
Hua Tianyi's face was dark and terrifying, almost dripping with water.
"Tower Master, let's talk as we walk!"
Zheng Zhongtian could not wait any longer. He wanted to kill Bai Zihe right now.
"Alright."
Hua Tianyi nodded.
The two set off in a rage, followed by a large contingent of Alchemist Tower disciples, essentially all the prominent ones.
The momentum was vast, and the fury was sky-high.
On the way.
Zheng Zhongtian recounted the entire incident.
He did not shy away from admitting his failure.
He did not exaggerate Bai Zihe's arrogance and insolence, but to Hua Tianyi's ears...
Bai Zihe was in the wrong.
He deserved to die!
The Alchemist Tower was the pinnacle of medical and pharmaceutical arts in the Great Xia.
Even the inner clans of the four ancient martial arts families in the capital were merely their equals, and they would show each other consideration when matters arose.
Yet Bai Zihe...
A provincial bumpkin from a regional city, had repeatedly beaten Alchemist Tower disciples and elders in front of countless peers, and even forced him to apologize to the Medical Association!
If this was not met with a lesson.
In the long run, anyone, ghost or god, cat or dog, would dare to defecate on the Alchemist Tower's head.
Therefore.
Destroying Bai Zihe was imperative!
The Alchemist Tower, in its entirety, moved out and soon arrived at the event venue.
At this moment.
Bai Zihe was being surrounded by the top brass of the Medical Association like stars around the moon.
Amazement, reverence, admiration...
"Mr. Bai is truly a divine being!"
"Such needlework is unparalleled in the world; we are truly convinced."
"Mr. Bai's mastery of acupuncture is unprecedented and will be unmatched by any in the future, defying heaven and earth..."
"With Mr. Bai's assistance, this Medical Convention is foolproof!"
The crowd spared no praise.
But just then.
"Whoosh—"
A sharp whistling sound cut through the air, reaching everyone's ears.
The crowd immediately followed the sound.
A brilliant light flashed in the distance, like a rocket trailing a long flame, directly approaching Bai Zihe.
Urgent and sharp.
Filled with killing intent.
This scene was also witnessed by countless people present.
"What kind of scoundrel dares to engage in such sneaky tactics on Medical Association grounds?"
An elder from the Medical Association snorted coldly and conjured a silver needle to intercept it.
"Clink!"
The collision was not particularly fierce.
On the contrary.
It was silent!
The elder's silver needle instantly shattered on the spot.
The elder was also repelled, convulsing all over, spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face pale to the extreme.
"Hiss—"
Everyone was greatly shocked.
An elder of the Medical Association was a formidable figure in the outside world.
But now...
He was no match for this single silver needle.
This person must have extraordinary origins!
Fang Yongzheng was furious.
First, the juniors of the Alchemist Tower dared to defy him, then he was taught a lesson by Zheng Zhongtian, and now a silver needle flew in so brazenly...
What were they trying to do?
Treat his Medical Association as a farmers' market, to be entered at will?
"Swish!"
In his rage, Fang Yongzheng also conjured a silver needle, cloaked in boundless momentum, to meet the incoming needle.
"Seeking death!"
Just as Fang Yongzheng flung out the silver needle.
A voice resounded throughout the venue, aged yet filled with boundless disdain.
The crowd immediately turned to look.
An old man with white hair strode into the event venue.
His brows were stern, his expressionless, yet he exuded supreme authority.
It was none other than Hua Tianyi, the Tower Master of the Alchemist Tower!
Behind him.
Zheng Zhongtian and a host of elders.
Ye Haochen and a legion of elite and ordinary disciples...
Vast and seemingly endless, they had all mobilized and arrived in full force!
The spectacle was undeniably grand.
Seeing him.
Whether it was the people from the Medical Association or the many others present, their pupils contracted sharply.
Hua Tianyi...
His needlework and alchemical skills were considered the best in the world!
It was evident.
He had come for Zheng Zhongtian.
To seek an explanation from Fang Yongzheng and to vindicate Zheng Zhongtian and Ye Haochen.
This matter today could no longer be easily resolved!
"Tower Master Hua, you... Ptooey—"
Fang Yongzheng was about to speak when he suddenly vomited a mouthful of blood.
This was because.
The silver needle he had thrown out moments ago had collided head-on with Hua Tianyi's needle and shattered on the spot!
