CHAPTER 680: CHAPTER 172: THE DARK NIGHT PAVILION SUFFERING HEAVY LOSSES

Upon hearing this, Tian Yiyu showed a puzzled face, "Yun Sheng, I’ve never heard of these things you mentioned. Are you sure they can actually work?"

"Of course they can work. Just do as I instruct, and you should see results in a few days," Yun Sheng said with a smile.

Tian Yiyu could only half-believe and half-doubt as he went to make arrangements.

The deep night was silent, and the headquarters of the Dark Night Pavilion.

A fury had just begun.

"Bang!"

Su Daguoshou slammed a ledger book out.

The Four Night Envoys from all four competition zones were standing aside, trembling, not daring to breathe.

"Useless, all of you! Look at the medicine revenue of these past few months, it has plummeted to only a fraction of what it used to be. If this continues, can the Dark Night Pavilion still mix in Sky Wing City!" Su Daguoshou was angrily not without reason.

This year, especially after August, in just over three months, the performance of the Dark Night Pavilion dropped drastically.

In the Yellow Wing Competition Zone of the four competition zones, not even a single medicine has been sold since.

It’s not just Elixir and Magic Medicine—those Hunter Soldiers previously under the Dark Night Pavilion’s control were also betraying en masse. If this continues, the foundation that the Dark Night Pavilion has built over the years will be truly destroyed overnight.

"Daguoshou, we can’t be blamed for this. Recently, a massive amount of cheap medicines and Magic Potions flooded the market out of nowhere, and it’s greatly affected our business," the Night Envoys of the competition zones said with bitter faces.

What’s most outrageous is that while those medicines and Magic Potions might be cheap, their quality is excellent.

They are even better than the medicine offered by the Dark Night Pavilion.

Previously, the contestants would chase after them to buy high-priced Magic Potions and Elixirs, but now it’s the complete opposite; no one is willing to buy their medicine at all.

"Have you found out the source of those medicines?" Su Daguoshou asked irritably.

"No news at all. It’s said that those medicines are officially sold by Sky Wings Arena," the several Night Envoys shook their heads.

The method used by the Dark Night Pavilion to control the contestants of the Arena was always through various medicines and Magic Potions. Now that this tactic had failed, relying solely on Ancient Medical Skill and Magic Healing was simply not enough.

"Chen Yeshi, Night Envoy Zhao, what about your respective competition zones? The majority of the revenue from the Sky Wing and Earth Wing competition zones comes from off-site betting and Magic Healing, the impact should be minimal. Why did your performance also drop," Su Daguoshou said dissatisfied.

"Especially you, Chen Yeshi, don’t you have Ye Beiming under your command? With his strength, he should be able to dominate the entire Earth Wing Arena. Just by him alone, you ought to be able to win a fortune," Su Daguoshou questioned.

Chen Yeshi and Night Envoy Zhao had bitter expressions on their faces, and Chen Yeshi replied: "Daguoshou, Ye Beiming refuses to compete. Ever since that match against Feng Tian, he has been saying he needs to find an opportunity for a breakthrough and has refused to participate in any matches till now."

"If he doesn’t want to compete, then think of something!" Su Daguoshou was almost driven to fury.

Chen Yeshi touched the cold sweat on his forehead and cursed inwardly, Old brute, you go and say that to Ye Beiming yourself.

That devil, with one slap, turned Yellow Night Envoy into a meat patty. To seek him out personally would be like asking for death; it seems my life is too long.

"Daguoshou, don’t be angry. The end of the year is still a while away, maybe we can make a fortune from this year’s merged annual competition," Emissary Wang of the Xuan Yi competition zone, who had been standing silently on the side, volunteered.

Previously, the Xuan Yi competition zone had been forced to stop its matches, and its revenue was almost nil.

Emissary Wang, worried that he would not be able to account for it, secretly used a hefty sum to bribe Kong Fei, asking for his help in facilitating this joint man-vs-beast battle between the two competition zones.

"The merged annual competition, are you planning to use Forbidden Medicine again? That Forbidden Medicine might be unsafe," Su Daguoshou was still somewhat apprehensive; Liu Qingqing’s incident had resulted in heavy losses for the Dark Night Pavilion.

"Rest assured, Daguoshou, this time there will be no mistakes. I’ve already ordered our Pharmacist to rework the prescription," Emissary Wang was confident.

"I’ve already instructed my people to add a new type of Forbidden Medicine to the food of the participating Demon Beasts. After consuming this Forbidden Medicine, some Demon Beasts could even exhibit strength beyond that of Commander-level Demon Beasts."

Emissary Wang said with ill intent.

A Demon Beast surpassing the Commander-level, in other words, is a King-level Magical Beast.

Even the emergence of a single King-level Magical Beast would be enough for those twenty-four contestants of the annual competition to engage in a bloody battle, not to mention just four contestants.

In this case, the scales of victory have completely tipped towards the side of the Demon Beast.

But this fact is only known to the Dark Night Pavilion.

"Very well, whether the Dark Night Pavilion can survive this year hinges on this annual competition. I will invest more than half of the Pavilion’s funds into it," Su Daguoshou finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Great National Doctor, what about the Yellow Wing Competition Zone?" The newly arrived Yellow Wing Night Envoy couldn’t wait to step forward and inquire.

"Business as usual, I will send you more men. I want that old hag Tian Yiyu to know that Sky Wing City is a man’s world, and as a woman, she is utterly incapable of independently taking on the responsibilities of a competition zone," Su Daguoshou arrogantly declared.

It was also time to show those people the true strength of the Dark Night Pavilion.

Su Daguoshou dismissed the four Night Envoys and returned to his dwelling.

A day of exhaustion made him fall asleep quickly.

In the middle of the night, Su Daguoshou, drowsy, felt a warm stream flow past his neck.

Next to his pillow, it was damp, and a strange smell seemed to be detected. Su Daguoshou touched it with his hand and then brought it to his nose to sniff.

"Ah----"

The voice of Su Daguoshou echoed throughout the Dark Night Pavilion.

The three Night Envoys of the competition zones rushed over in a hurry, not even having time to put on shoes.

They saw Su Daguoshou with a face ashen, his hair disheveled.

His bed was already drenched in blood-red, with bloodstains all over.

At the position of the pillow, there was a human head placed.

The head was unmistakably that of the new Yellow Wing Night Envoy, who was alive and well in the evening.

"Great National Doctor, are you alright?" The several Night Envoys, seeing such a gruesome scene, all felt a chill creeping around their necks.

No one spoke, but everyone was crystal clear in their minds.

This was a warning, alerting Su Daguoshou that if they could stealthily kill the newly arrived Night Envoy, then next time, it could very well be Su Daguoshou’s own head they come for.

A wave of trepidation filled Su Daguoshou’s heart.

He was privately guessing who could have done it.

Clearly, none of Tian Yiyu’s subordinates possessed such skill to surreptitiously infiltrate the Dark Night Pavilion unnoticed.

Could it be the Sky Wing City Lord?

But the Sky Wing City Lord would not do such a thing, unless he defied the agreement with that significant person.

Su Daguoshou’s mind was a muddled mess.

"Cease all actions against the Yellow Wing Competition Zone for now," Su Daguoshou said, his spirit having wilted substantially after the fright.

For the first time, he realized that his adversary was far more formidable than he had imagined.

However, Su Daguoshou was not someone who easily admitted defeat. He still pinned his hopes on this year’s annual competition. As long as he made a huge fortune at the competition, the economy of Sky Wing City would inevitably suffer a severe blow.

At that time, he would no longer regard either Tian Yiyu or the Sky Wing City Lord as significant.
