Chapter 1966: The Consequences Are Very Serious

"The more turbulent the times, the more you must give them a sense of stability. Because they are busy with various disputes, they have no time to pay attention to you at all. As long as they are obedient, everything will be fine."

"Then we shall proceed according to Mr. Chen's wishes." Kaza nodded. "It's a pity that Zhamusi's territory is about to be confiscated by the authorities. If we can seize the opportunity, we can swallow up his armed forces."

"Such thoughts, just keep them in your mind. Really, you must not put them into action," Chen Yu said. "Otherwise, the consequences will be very serious."

"Of course, I was just joking. An'er, it seems we haven't seen each other for a long time," Kaza said with a smile.

"Yes, it has been fifteen years since the Red Skull disbanded," An'er said. "We should have been friends, but in the end, we became enemies. Such things are actually quite sad."

"Now the various forces have changed. I think if we can cooperate, we should be able to avoid a lot of trouble in the future." Kaza stared at him. "Over these years, we have accumulated a lot of grievances for the sake of fighting for territory and interests. I just don't know if you can let go of your prejudices?"

"These words are also what I want to say to you," An'er said with a faint smile. "I know that in your eyes, I have always been a person who has courage but no strategy."

"But in fact, my mind is meticulous, and I can consider every aspect. If we cooperate, it will be a win-win."

"Haha, that's good. We will sign an alliance in the future. Only when our two sides are together can we be unbreakable."

The two laughed heartily and shook hands, which counted as shaking hands and making peace.

Xueli glanced at Chen Yu and then walked out silently. Chen Yu was stunned; Xueli had a look of wanting to say something but hesitating, so she must have had something to say, and he followed Xueli out.

"You are about to go to the Endless Coast, right?" Xueli asked.

"Yes, but I heard that this old politician, who has one foot in the grave, wants to stir up some trouble, so I came over to see the situation," Chen Yu said with a smile. "I didn't expect the Pope to send you here."

"Dewen has just taken office, and there are too many unstable factors within the Pope's faction," Xueli shook her head and said. "He should have come, but he couldn't get away, so I attended on his behalf."

"He was not the rightful heir to begin with, so there must be many people who are unconvinced by his ascension," Chen Yu said with a smile. "But it doesn't matter. He possesses the full power of the Holy Staff. It won't be long before the discordant voices within the Pope's faction disappear."

"I just don't know what his methods are like. I think at this time, one cannot have a heart of mercy, otherwise the turmoil will never be quelled."

"Rest assured, the current Dewen has a firm hand. Anyone who questions him will definitely not live to see the next day," Xueli said. "I have never seen him like this before."

"That is because he previously ignored church affairs and only focused on preaching. But now that he is in a high position, there are some things he has to come forward to solve, so he must have a firm hand," Chen Yu said. "If he were as merciful as before, his position would never be stable."

"Chen..." Xueli looked hesitant. "I have a small request now."

"Just say whatever you have to say. We are so familiar with each other that calling it a request is a bit distant, not to mention you have helped me so much," Chen Yu laughed.

When did Xueli become so polite? Foreigners like her have always spoken their minds; what happened to her this time?

"I want to go to the Endless Coast with you," Xueli said, raising her head seriously.

"Are you crazy?" Chen Yu was truly taken aback. He had not expected Xueli to make such a request.

"There is a force in the Endless Coast that has a sealing effect on the Holy Power of your Pope's faction. No matter how strong a missionary of the Pope is, they will be reduced to an ordinary person once they get there. If you follow me there, aren't you seeking your own death?"

Chen Yu shook his head. He could not satisfy this request because it was too crazy. Xueli was the Saintess of the Pope's faction; if anything happened to her here, he would not be able to bear the responsibility.

"I am the Saintess of the Pope's faction. I was chosen by everyone, and I represent holiness," Xueli said. "There is no selfishness in my heart."

"The reason why those people in the past were affected was because their faith was not firm. I think I am different."

"Let's not do it. I can't afford to take this risk. You are the Saintess of the Pope's faction. If you have any problems there, I won't be able to answer to the Pope," Chen Yu said, feeling somewhat between laughter and tears.

"Besides, it is easier for me to hide if I enter alone; they usually won't discover me. If I take you with me, I might need to be distracted to take care of you, and the loss will outweigh the gain."

"Don't worry, I have confidence," Xueli said with a smile. "I tried to communicate with the True Lord yesterday."

"Did he respond?" Chen Yu asked.

"There was no direct response, but he did pass back some information. I have learned about the situation at the Endless Coast now. It should be the burial place of the Blood Clan ancestors, because of the protection of their ancestors."

"Coupled with the fact that the land itself is a place where sunlight cannot reach, it has bred some dark aura, so the power of our Pope's faction will be suppressed there."

"The True Lord told me that my heart is pure and has not been polluted by the secular world, so I will not be affected there."

"Is what you said true?" Chen Yu found it hard to believe. This woman spoke in such a serious manner, just like telling a story, but Chen Yu did not know whether he should believe her.

"Of course it's true. I am the Saintess of the Pope's faction; I would not tell a lie," Xueli smiled slightly. "Don't you even believe me?"

"No, no, of course not," Chen Yu shook his head repeatedly. "Why must you follow me there?"

"That place is full of Dark Creatures everywhere. In the eyes of you people in the Pope's faction, they have a rotten smell. Can you stand it?" Chen Yu asked.

"You don't need to use this to scare me. If I couldn't even overcome this little difficulty, then I wouldn't be worthy of being the Saintess of the Pope's faction," Xueli smiled slightly.

"The reason why I am following you is that there is a reason. I am not at liberty to tell you the specific reason, but please believe me, I have no selfishness in going there."

"I think it would be better for me to seek Dewen's opinion on this matter," Chen Yu said with a bitter smile. "If he agrees to let you go, then I have no problem."
