Chapter 1958: Endless Coast

"Yes, but the ancient scrolls left behind by the Pope warned us not to set foot in that sea area. Unfortunately, the previous Lord of the Pope was young and impetuous; he ignored the words in the scrolls and, in the mid-last century, led three thousand believers with six knights to the Endless Sea."

"And the result?" Chen Yu asked. In truth, he didn't need to ask; he already knew what the result was. Of those three thousand believers, not a single one could have left that place alive, right?

"The result was... three thousand believers spilled their hot blood across the entire sea area, their bones buried in the sand. That place is a cursed place. The strength of everyone in the Pope's order was greatly diminished; in this battle, almost all of the Pope's elite lost their lives there."

"A very tragic battle indeed." Chen Yu sighed slightly.

Although he had not witnessed that battle with his own eyes, he could imagine the level of tragedy from Dewen's description and tone.

"Yes, ever since then, the Pope's people have never dared to set foot in the Endless Sea. We left a watchtower on the edge of the sea area, partly to prevent the Blood Clan inside from coming out, and partly so that if there is any situation inside, we can know about it immediately."

"So that's how it is." Chen Yu nodded: "So unless the Blood Clan shows themselves voluntarily, you won't take the initiative to enter the Endless Sea?"

"That's right, unless they show themselves, we won't go in voluntarily, because the lesson that place taught us was truly too profound." Dewen nodded slightly and said.

"But as far as I know, the Blood Clan is restless now. They have repeatedly appeared in the world of ordinary people, using various methods to gain followers; they are trying to find ways to expand their own ranks," Chen Yu said.

"If this situation is not stopped, I think one day they will eventually make a comeback. The daughter of General An'er, whom I know, is one of the victims."

"This situation... has existed for a long time." Dewen's expression became serious: "It's just that the Pope was busy with internal strife before, so we didn't pay attention to it."

"Now, while our generation of the Pope can still use a portion of our power, we must resolve this matter completely; otherwise, there will be endless trouble."

"Yes, but what kind of place is the Endless Sea exactly? Why does it make your power disappear for no reason?" Chen Yu asked, puzzled.

"I don't know. That sea area has been cursed by the Demon, so we can only set up outposts on the periphery. For so many years, we have never figured out what exactly is going on." Dewen shook his head.

This matter had also always been a heavy burden on his heart, so he had to figure out what was going on no matter what.

"You haven't sent anyone in? For so many years, you haven't thought about figuring out what happened there?" Chen Yu asked.

"Of course we have sent people in, but there was no harvest at all." Dewen sighed: "And we also lost more than a dozen elites in vain. After they went in, the power in their bodies was cut off."

"Besides that, is there any other information?" Chen Yu asked.

"No, we only know that their numbers are numerous, over several thousand. Although we are guarding strictly on the outside, they still find ways to leave that place," Dewen said.

"Perhaps, I can have a chance to go in and scout for you, to figure out what is going on," Chen Yu said thoughtfully.

"Mr. Chen, you must not take the risk." Dewen was startled: "That place is extremely sinister. Our people have suffered great losses there; as long as we arrive there, our power is shackled."

"It's fine, I am different from you all." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "My power comes from the heavens and the earth. Even if that place has something that can seal your Holy Power, for me, it shouldn't be much of a problem."

"But..." Dewen truly did not want to let Chen Yu take the risk. He hesitated for a long time before sighing and saying: "If Mr. Chen wants to scout the path, that is of course good."

"But you must pay attention to safety. I have a map here with the location of the Endless Coast marked on it; you can go take a look." Dewen took out a map, on which a place was marked.

"Endless Sea." Chen Yu looked at the words on it, his brows slightly locked: "This is no longer the plane we are in."

"It shouldn't be. To enter the Endless Sea, one must go through a sea area with huge winds and currents; only by passing through there will one arrive." Dewen said: "Those Blood Clan members are entrenched on a small island in the sea area."

"They have already generated their own system, but if a living person enters, they will be drained of their blood."

"No need to worry about that; I naturally have a way to disguise myself." Chen Yu smiled slightly: "I think, with their strength, it won't be that easy for them to recognize me, right?"

"That's good." Dewen breathed a sigh of relief. He nodded and said: "Then Mr. Chen... I will leave these matters to you. I will prepare a boat for you; you can set off in a few days."

"Fine, I will handle the matters at hand in these few days." Chen Yu nodded.

After Chen Yu left, a profound and inscrutable expression appeared on Dewen's face.

"Teacher, are you really going to let him go scout the path?" Xueli walked up and asked.

"Otherwise? We don't have a more suitable candidate than him here," Dewen shook his head and said.

"But that place is almost a dead end for us missionaries. If Chen Yu goes over, will he really not be affected by that place?" Xueli asked.

"I don't know, but Chen Yu is right about one thing: he is a Cultivator. His power comes directly from himself, and he can also use himself as a medium to communicate with the heavens and the earth to obtain even stronger power."

Dewen pondered and said: "Perhaps he really isn't affected by those aspects."

"But what if he is affected?" Xueli was still a bit worried.

"Rest assured, he is different from us." Dewen smiled and said: "He will not be easily affected."

"However, I see that you are quite concerned about him." Dewen looked at Xueli again: "Have you already developed feelings for him?"

"No." Xueli's face flushed slightly as she said: "I have not developed feelings for him."

"Hehe, human emotions cannot be hidden." Dewen smiled slightly and said: "Although you are trying your best to hide it, I can still tell from your expression where your feelings lean."

"Whether you admit it or not, the facts are already before our eyes."

Xueli remained silent. She did not know how to answer Dewen's words, and in her mind, the scene from the illusion that day could not help but surface again.
