Chapter 1985: Land of the Curse

~7 min read 1,249 words

"As soon as we enter the Endless Coast, everything there will change, and our powers will vanish. Once there, tens of thousands of Blood Clan will surround us; they will capture us and keep us in captivity, draining our blood every day until we are bled dry and die."

Qieke fu's voice was low, because years ago, the Pope's men mistakenly entered the Endless Coast, intending to completely annihilate the last three thousand Blood Clan on this land.

But when they truly stepped into this sea area, they realized they were wrong—wrong to an outrageous degree.

Because this place is a cursed land where the sun never shines; even sunlight cannot reach it at all. It is a dark corner on Earth.

And this darkness is precisely a good place for the Blood Clan to inhabit. Back then, the army of nearly ten thousand Holy Knights of the Pope was almost entirely wiped out here.

Since then, no one has dared to set foot in this place again. Moreover, the Watcher's Tower was built, and the Pope sent missionaries to station themselves here. In the blink of an eye, several hundred years have passed.

"I know these things, but to me, this doesn't count for much," Chen Yu said with a faint smile. "You just need to give me the route map, and I will go in myself."

"I will go in with you," Xueli said, raising her head. "I have a Sacred Object in my hand; I can wipe these things out completely in one fell swoop."

"You had better think it through. Originally, there were only three thousand Blood Clan inside, but after so many years of recuperation, I fear there are tens of thousands of them now," Chen Yu said. "And I am still not sure if your power will be suppressed inside."

"Rest assured, I am the Saintess, and I have always carried responsibilities on my shoulders," Xueli said with a faint smile. "I came here not just to rescue these Watchers."

"But also to completely annihilate this place that has given the Pope a headache for hundreds of years."

"Xueli, I really don't advise you to try," Qieke fu shook his head slightly and said. "We have tried to enter before, but none of us succeeded."

"Qieke fu, you haven't left this place in thirty years. What is your greatest wish?" Xueli asked.

"It is for this land to completely disappear from this world," Qieke fu said, gritting his teeth. "So that the descendants of our Pope don't have to be Watchers in this place. This place is truly too bitter."

"Yes, generation after generation, the Pope has had people guarding here, all to keep the Blood Clan inside from rushing out," Xueli said. "It has consumed massive manpower and resources, and many Watchers have lost the time to be with their wives and children."

"You are all great, so this place must be cleared away, because now their hands are reaching further and further; they are no longer content to stay in this place."

"Xueli..." Qieke fu sighed, then looked at Chen Yu.

The power Chen Yu had just displayed made him feel shocked.

"This gentleman's strength is indeed very strong, and it is also the first time I have felt the power of the East," Qieke fu said. "But as you said, there are tens of thousands of Blood Clan inside. Even if they stood there one by one for you to cut down, I'm afraid it would take a very long time, wouldn't it?"

"That won't be necessary," Chen Yu shook his head and said. "To ordinary people, the Blood Clan are terrifying existences."

"But as long as one finds a way to restrain them, I think they shouldn't be too hard to deal with. Don't you agree, Xueli?"

"Yes, for example, a common Blood Clan can be made to vanish using the power of Holy Light. The difficulty lies in the Prince-level Blood Clan inside; those are the ones we need to resolve," Xueli took over the conversation.

"Do you have a way to restrain them?" Qieke fu still couldn't help but ask.

"Of course I do," Chen Yu said with a faint smile. "There are many ways to restrain them. They are Dark Creatures, extremely yin and dark; as long as one uses pure yang-type techniques and Talismans, they can be resolved."

"Pure yang-type techniques and Talismans?" Qieke fu was slightly stunned; he did not understand these things Chen Yu spoke of very well.

"Yes, so don't worry, I can bring your Xueli back safely," Chen Yu said.

"Good, I trust you. Then when will you set off?" Qieke fu only pondered for a moment before nodding without hesitation.

From the strength Chen Yu had displayed and Xueli's trust in him, it was not hard to see that Chen Yu was someone who truly possessed strength, so he believed Chen Yu would definitely be able to ensure Xueli's safety.

"There is no time like the present; let's go now. In any case, on the Endless Coast, there is no difference between day and night," Chen Yu said.

"Then we will escort you to the entrance of the Endless Coast. Everything inside is entrusted to you," Qieke fu looked at Chen Yu solemnly, then bowed slightly.

Chen Yu nodded: "I will certainly not let you down."

A moment later, the group followed a fixed route along the beach, heading toward the entrance of the Endless Coast.

Looking into the distance, the sea area ahead was pitch black, and this beach was also fraught with crises.

Even to go to the Endless Coast, one needs to walk along a fixed route, because if one is the slightest bit careless, one might sink into the beach.

This place is the closest point to darkness and is said to be unreachable by sunlight, so one must be extremely cautious here.

And on the beach, there were many bleached bones.

These bones must have been here for many years; some of the skeletons were still clad in grim heavy armor.

"Qieke fu, are these the Holy Warriors who fought the Blood Clan back then?" Xueli looked at the piles of bones on the beach, and she couldn't help but feel a bit shocked.

"Yes, as early as several centuries ago, this land was still in the Dark Ages," Qieke fu said. "At that time, our Pope spent a lot of manpower and paid a huge price, taking half a century to drive the Blood Clan to the Endless Coast."

"But because this place has a strong suppression on Holy Power, many of our warriors were buried here. This place is our final battlefield with the Blood Clan."

"Why, after so many years, have you not sent them home?" Xueli looked at everything before her, her eyes moistening.

"Because this is their glory, so afterward, the Pope decided not to retrieve the remains, letting them stay here to let their spirits intimidate the Blood Clan inside," Qieke fu said. "And facts have proven that this is indeed effective."

"Even though the Blood Clan is restless now, except for a few bold ones, most of them still cannot pass through the Burial Ground."

Xueli nodded slightly and sighed softly: "Our predecessors paid too much."

"That's why the things happening with the Pope make me feel inconceivable," Qieke fu sighed slightly and said. "The Burial Ground still remains; how could Old Ivan make such a foolish decision?"
