Chapter 1975: Difficulties

"Why don't you reconsider? It's almost dark now, and, well, the place you're in should be the Black Wind Forest, right? There are cracks from the Dark Abyss there, and Dark Creatures will pour out from time to time."

Chen Yu said: "Judging by your injuries, the Dark Creatures that poured out this time are not just one or two, but a huge group. If you think you can handle it, then we'll leave now."

Once these words were spoken, Liao immediately fell silent.

What Chen Yu said was indeed correct; it was already a stroke of luck that he had managed to escape from the Black Wind Forest.

Moreover, the Dark Creatures encountered this time were very vengeful; they had already locked onto his aura, and as soon as it turned dark, they would attack him in large numbers.

Even with the many traps he had set in the surrounding area, it would still be difficult to deal with so many Dark Creatures at once.

Not to mention that he was also suffering from not-so-light injuries; considering everything, now was indeed not the time for him to be headstrong.

"Liao, let them stay; I trust them." Feilisi said with a look of pleading.

"Forget it, forget it... I have persisted for so many years, only to hold onto the injustice in my heart, but these matters... are not anyone's fault." Liao sighed.

He sat down dejectedly and muttered: "Qiong, I can only do this much; I'm sorry."

A moment later, the few of them sat together to properly discuss how to resolve this matter.

"In the Black Wind Forest, Dark Creatures often appear; there should be a Space Rift there, and occasionally Blood Clan members also escape from the Golden Coast," Liao said. "What I have to do is stop all the Blood Clan here."

"Of course, my individual ability is limited, and the Blood Clan are very cunning, so even if I guard it strictly, there will still be Blood Clan who slip into the human world."

"I know all of that, Liao." Xueli nodded slightly: "Although you haven't associated with anyone from the Pope for these years, I know that you have been watching over and holding fast to your duty."

"This place originally had a guardian assigned to it; you and your wife guarded it here, but later she was injured and passed away. Yet, for so many years, you have guarded this place alone, which is very worthy of my respect."

"There is nothing to respect; I am just fulfilling the duty that Qiong and I had. Qiong is no longer here, so I can only guard this place myself and not let those Dark Creatures advance a single step."

"You have already done very well, truly." Chen Yu nodded slightly and said: "You haven't hunted fewer of these Dark Creatures over these years, have you?"

"Blood Clan, Dark Creatures, there are many." Liao said: "As long as I am here, those things won't be able to advance a single step."

"For you, this is a very meaningful thing." Chen Yu said with a smile: "Only when you are here hunting Dark Creatures can you feel that you and your wife are still together."

"Yes, but it is a pity that Feilisi has been suffering with me all along; he has endured things he shouldn't have at his age." Liao looked at his son, his eyes filled with love.

"No, Dad, I am very happy to be with you. In the past, I didn't understand your actions, but now I understand." Feilisi was very sensible.

"My child, thank you for being able to understand me." Liao stroked his head.

"Liao, you don't have to keep guarding here; your duty has long been completed, and the Pope should have sent someone to replace you long ago," Xueli said.

"But the Pope has had many issues before and has only recently stabilized. Don't worry, after I return, even if you return to the Pope, Feilisi will receive the recognition of the Pope's Holy Temple."

"I don't want to leave here, because I have lived here for many years, and I feel that everything about me has merged with this place." Liao shook his head.

"Even if you don't consider yourself, you have to consider your son. He has been away from this society for too long. Do you want him to be like you, guarding here for a lifetime?" Chen Yu said.

"Even if you are willing to be like this, your wife Qiong wouldn't agree, would she?"

Liao was slightly stunned. That's right, he had also thought about letting Feilisi stay here forever, but he had ignored Feilisi's feelings.

And his wife Qiong, if her spirit were in heaven, would she want to see her son guarding this desolate place forever?

"That's right, Liao, what Chen Yu said is absolutely correct; Feilisi should return to the human world," Xueli said. "You have persisted for so long; it is time to take a rest."

"Let's talk about these things after you come back." Liao looked up at the two of them: "Are you going to the Endless Coast?"

"Yes." Chen Yu said: "The Blood Clan have been rampant lately, and I think they must have stayed at the Endless Coast for too long, feeling that they have the strength to fight back."

"The Blood Clan have always been arrogant, but it's a pity that they will sooner or later pay the price for their own arrogance." Liao sneered.

Then he looked at Xueli in confusion: "But you know, the Pope's people cannot set foot in the Endless Coast where the Blood Clan are."

"Because once we step into their territory, our power will be suppressed, and we won't be able to exert even a bit of power. At that time, we will only be at their mercy. It won't work for you to enter the Endless Coast so defenselessly."

"I have indeed heard of these things." Chen Yu said with a smile: "I am a cultivator; my power will not be affected."

"And Xueli is also different from ordinary believers; her power represents the True Lord, so her power will not be affected inside either."

"Is that so?" Liao nodded slowly: "Then I wish you good luck. On the edge of the Endless Coast, there is the Pope's Watchtower."

"The believers in that place have been guarding there for many years; they are the ones who should be liberated the most."

"Yes, it's been decades, hasn't it? The people who guarded there back then are probably white-haired old people now. It's a pity that no one is willing to replace them, and they have always kept their inner faith and stayed there."

Xueli said: "Our trip this time is also to let them come home."

"It's good that you haven't forgotten them; they are heroes, heroes worthy of respect." Liao said.

"Tell me, what kind of things did you encounter in the forest?" Chen Yu asked.

"They are Bat Spirits, a kind of monster with wings and four claws, and there are many of them." Liao's expression became serious: "It is also my first time seeing so many Dark Creatures in the Black Wind Forest."

"They move in groups, with sharp teeth and claws; if it weren't for their fear of sunlight, I'm afraid I would have perished inside by now."
