Chapter 1992: Extinction

Along the way, there were many Blood Clan members who had luckily survived; some had lost their eyes, others had lost their arms.

The entire Endless Coast was now a place of wailing.

Chen Yu was right; these remaining Blood Clan members no longer posed any threat.

They were merely gathering together to linger on in a feeble state.

Once they left this place and sealed the entrance to the Endless Coast, they would not pose any threat at all.

Wherever the two went, all the Blood Clan members hissed and dodged, and their fear of Chen Yu and Xueli had already reached their very bones.

"Will they perish?" Xueli asked.

"Not for the moment, but trapped here, that day will come sooner or later," Chen Yu said. "Whether they perish or not depends on the will of Heaven."

"The will of Heaven..." Xueli's expression was complex. "What do you mean by that?"

"The problem now is not whether we destroy them or not, but whether Heaven will destroy them," Chen Yu said with a faint smile. "If they decline from here on, many years later, the Blood Clan here will completely vanish."

"But if a hero suddenly emerges among them, an existence similar to a savior, then they will continue to propagate."

"So whether they perish or not has nothing to do with us; it depends on the will of Heaven."

"Is this the difference between your East and us? You emphasize purity and non-action, and you believe that the rules of this world are dictated by the Heavenly Dao, right?" Xueli seemed to understand what Chen Yu meant.

"Yes, that is exactly what I mean. It seems you grasp things quite quickly," Chen Yu said with a faint smile. "The final fate of these Blood Clan members still depends on the will of Heaven."

"Then do you think the will of Heaven will favor them?" Xueli asked.

"I said just now, things in this world, as long as they exist, have their reason," Chen Yu said. "So, I am actually quite optimistic about their future."

"You think they won't perish?" Xueli understood the meaning behind Chen Yu's words.

"Right, existence is reason," Chen Yu said with a smile. "Alright, let's go. Don't dwell on whether they will die or not. We should leave; otherwise, Qieke fu and the others will really get anxious."

Outside the Endless Coast, Qieke fu and several old fellows had been keeping watch.

Inside, flames soared to the sky, followed by a chorus of wailing.

Qieke fu and the others were startled; the massive sounds from within made them all feel restless, but no one could enter.

Because they were outside, they had no idea what was happening at all.

Moreover, they did not dare to enter rashly, fearing that their power would be suppressed.

"Qieke fu, are you going in?" Seeing that Qieke fu was already impatient, someone stepped forward and stopped him.

"Something must have happened to Xueli and the others inside, otherwise there wouldn't be such a commotion. And I haven't sensed the fluctuation of Holy Power for a long time; I must go in and see."

Qieke fu's expression was agitated, and he roared, "Don't stop me! Xueli is inside, she is the Saintess, I must go in."

"But you know," an old man pressed him firmly to the ground, "once we go in, our power will be suppressed, and we will become the same as ordinary people."

"If the situation inside is out of control, then once you go in, it will be a dead end."

"I watched Xueli grow up. She is the Pope's Saintess, I... am like her elder, her kin," Qieke fu roared. "If she is in danger, should I just stand by and do nothing?"

"Qieke fu, don't be impulsive. It's useless for you to go in now," an old man pressed him tightly to the ground.

"Xueli's power is not affected inside; she can wield Holy Power, and she has the Sacred Object in her hand. She will be fine, but you are different; if you go in, you will only face death."

Qieke fu was pressed to the ground, his expression filled with grief. He prostrated himself on the ground and then knelt up. "Almighty Lord, please, you must listen to my plea."

He bowed his body deeply; all around, there was silence.

When Chen Yu and Xueli walked out from inside, Qieke fu and the others were ecstatic.

Qieke fu stood up abruptly and almost lunged forward. "Xueli, you're back! You're finally back! If you hadn't come out, I would have charged in."

"Qieke fu, thank you for caring about me so much," Xueli was somewhat moved.

She was an orphan herself and did not know who her parents were; the previous Saintess had treated her like kin.

Originally, she thought that after the previous Saintess passed away, there would be no one left in this world who cared about her, but she had not expected that Qieke fu would also care about her so much.

"I have always regarded you as a junior. Just now, I really almost charged out," Qieke fu said, trembling as he looked at Xueli.

"Thank you, you are also my elder, Qieke fu," Xueli smiled slightly. "The matter has been resolved; there are only some remnants of the Blood Clan left inside."

"The celestial phenomenon that occurred there just now... was that caused by you?" Qieke fu asked.

"Not me, it was him," Xueli pointed at Chen Yu. "He wiped out nearly ten thousand Blood Clan members at once, and almost all of them had nowhere to hide."

"Wiped out nearly ten thousand at once... you... you are too powerful," a group of old men looked at Chen Yu, and they were struck with horror.

For their Pope, this was almost impossible.

Even with the Holy Staff, it would be impossible to deal with ten thousand Blood Clan members at once.

But Chen Yu, with one ultimate move, solved nearly ten thousand Blood Clan members. Was this really something humanly possible?

"It's not that I'm so powerful, nor is it that my strength is so great; it's just that the Array I used happened to restrain these things," Chen Yu was quite humble, because he felt that the dignity of these few people from the Pope's side had already been trampled upon.

He would not twist the knife in the hearts of these old fellows.

"You are humble," Qieke fu said. "If we had known this earlier, we should have put down our pride and sought some aid from the East long ago. Unfortunately, arrogance and prejudice have kept us guarding here for so many years."

"How many excellent young people of the Pope have wasted their youth here in vain."

"Indeed, we always felt we were high and mighty, thinking we were irreplaceable, but in fact, there are many things in this world worth learning. We missed a golden opportunity," an old man also sighed slowly.

"Qieke fu, the matter here can end now. Use the seal to seal it up," Xueli said. "The remaining Blood Clan members inside no longer have the ability to break through the seal."

"Since you have the ability to kill nearly ten thousand Blood Clan members in one fell swoop, why can't you completely eliminate them? What if one day the Blood Clan inside comes out? That would be another disaster," Qieke fu and the others were very confused.
