Chapter 705 - 197: I Want Both Your Money and Your People
But when the Flying Magical Beast approached, Su Daguoshou took one look and was shocked.
The leader of the Flying Magical Beasts was none other than Yun Sheng, the young girl whom Ye Beiming had entrusted him to save earlier on.
"Su Daguoshou, long time no see," Yun Sheng said with a beaming smile, looking at the rickety Skyship.
"Yun Da, greetings," Su Daguoshou said upon seeing the restless Yun Sheng, instantly feeling a wave of regret.
That time after he had saved Yun Sheng, he later learned that not only was she the "Flame Emperor" who had previously caused trouble in the Yellow Wing Competition Zone, but she had a even more dangerous identity.
Yun Sheng was the youngest Great National Doctor of the continent and also the founder of Little Ci’en Hall, the Yun Da who once brought the Medicine Emperor Pavilion to the brink of bankruptcy.
At a young age, she was personally conferred the title of Great National Doctor by Emperor Tangyuan.
She was also the youngest creator of Holy-grade Elixirs, not merely a famous doctor but also a Magic Pharmacist.
"Su Daguoshou, it seems that your situation is not very good, do you need my help?" asked Yun Sheng, feigning ignorance.
The Skyship of Dark Night Pavilion was extensively damaged and could capsize at any moment.
The physicians and mages aboard were also panicking and squeezing towards the bow.
"No need, in a little while, Sky Wing City will send people to Yunhai for a rescue," Su Daguoshou directly rejected Yun Sheng’s "good intentions."
Su Daguoshou definitely did not believe that Yun Sheng would be so kind-hearted.
This young girl, appearing so harmless, yet Su Daguoshou had learned from Grandmaster Wen how cunning she truly was, and her actions were exceedingly ruthless.
Being only a doctor himself, the lives of everyone on the ship were in his hands; he couldn’t take the risk.
Otherwise, he might end up being sold by this cunning girl without even knowing.
Seeing Su Daguoshou’s face looking as if he had seen a bandit, Yun Sheng barely suppressed the laughter bubbling within her.
"Su Daguoshou, this time I’m afraid you’re going to be disappointed. Sky Wing City has suffered heavy losses. One of the Sky Wing City Lord’s sons died in Yunhai, and the other is missing. The Sky Wing City Lord probably doesn’t have the spare strength to send a rescue team into Yunhai anymore," Yun Sheng said.
These words surprised Su Daguoshou.
If the City Lord really didn’t send anyone, all of them here...
He was skeptical and didn’t know whether Yun Sheng’s words were true or false.
"Yunhai is vast and difficult to control; perhaps after this incident, the Sky Wing City Lord will order Yunhai to be sealed off. Then, don’t even think about getting out alive. However, I can’t stand by and watch people die. Is there anyone on the ship who wants to come with me?" Yun Sheng glanced at the pale-faced doctors and mages on the ship.
The Dark Night Pavilion had many healers and mages, but most of them specialized in Ancient Medical Skills or Healing Magic.
Their cultivation levels were generally low and leaving Yunhai by their own means would not be easy.
Moreover, Demon Beasts often appeared near Yunhai, already causing everyone to be skittish, not daring to make reckless moves.
But Yun Sheng had arrived with ten Demon Warriors; these warriors looked sturdy and reliable, perhaps they could truly lead them out of Yunhai alive.
"Respected sir, I am willing to go with you."
"Me too."
Seeing the doctors and mages on the ship defect one after another, Su Daguoshou was angrily tight-lipped.
He knew Yun Sheng was taking advantage of the crisis. But what could he do?
If he annoyed Yun Sheng, any one of those Demon Warriors following her could easily chop off his head.
"I can save you, but I’m not running a charity here. If I save you, you’ll owe me your life; from now on, you’ll belong to my Little Ci’en Hall," Yun Sheng said, causing Su Daguoshou to nearly spit out a mouthful of old blood in anger.
This was blatant intimidation by Yun Sheng.
This wasn’t saving people; it was practically kidnapping.
It was even more of a highway robbery than actual bandits.
After so many years, apart from the medicinal herbs and elixirs on the ship, the most valuable assets of the Dark Night Pavilion were these doctors and mages on board.
Without the medicinal herbs and elixirs, as long as these people are still here, the Dark Night Pavilion will eventually make a comeback.
But if these people are poached away, then everything is ruined.
Too shameless! Too sly!
"None of you are allowed to follow her, or the Dark Night Pavilion won’t let you off," threatened Su Daguoshou.
But at the point of life and death, these healer mages wouldn’t listen to his threats; they scrambled onto the bat dragon behind Yun Sheng.
As these people moved together, the skyship shook even more violently.
Su Daguoshou was so angry he couldn’t utter a single word.
In the blink of an eye, ninety percent of the people on the skyship had surrendered.
"Su Daguoshou, aren’t you going to reconsider," said Yun Sheng, staring at Su Daguoshou.
This old man was also quite stubborn.
"Even if I were to die here, I would not compromise with you," Su Daguoshou huffed.
But he had barely huffed when the ten bat dragons all simultaneously flapped their wings a bit.
The bat airship then emitted a dull sound as a section of the hull cracked open at the stern, and the ship’s body heavily tilted downwards.
Su Daguoshou’s complexion turned even uglier.
He hesitated and glanced towards a particular cabin.
Yun Sheng also keenly looked in the direction Su Daguoshou was staring at.
"Su Daguoshou, I know you are stubborn, so let me be more lenient with the conditions. As long as you use all of the medicinal herbs and elixirs on this ship in exchange, I will save you and the ship."
All of the medicinal herbs and elixirs on the entire ship?
Su Daguoshou became frantic; the medicinal herbs and elixirs on this ship represented the accumulation of the Dark Night Pavilion’s wealth over many years.
If converted into gold coins, the value of the medicinal herbs and elixirs on this ship was worth several hundred million gold coins, which was about the same amount as what was stored on Su Daguoshou’s several Purple Gold Cards.
Su Daguoshou was in agony.
Fortunately, this little demon star did not yet know that he was hiding an astonishing number of Purple Gold Coin Cards on his person.
Su Daguoshou had managed the Dark Night Pavilion for many years and was very astute.
He quickly calculated in his mind whether to give up the medicinal herbs or....
At this moment, a voice came from the outskirts of Yunhai.
"Residents of Yunhai, please leave Yunhai quickly. Sky Wing City will close the entrance to Yunhai in half an hour," it was the voice of Tian Yiyu.
Upon hearing this, Su Daguoshou thought to himself that what Yun Sheng said was true. There had indeed been an incident involving the Tianyi Brothers in Yunhai.
It was likely that the Sky Wing City Lord was also injured. If he delayed any further, he could truly end up dead in Yunhai.
From now on, Sky Wing City might have to belong to this little demon star and Tian Yiyu.
To keep a green mountain is to not fear the lack of firewood. Upon hearing that voice, Su Daguoshou’s last trace of doubt also disappeared.
He decided that after leaving Yunhai, he would immediately reorganize the Dark Night Pavilion and then think of ways to reclaim lost ground. Let Yun Sheng and Little Ci’en Hall enjoy their moment of triumph for a while longer.
