Chapter 2003: Not Much of a Threat

"Furthermore, although the Blood Clan can no longer form much of a threat, you still need to be a little careful," Chen Yu exhorted. "In this world, the human heart is always the most difficult thing to fathom, understand?"

"I understand, don't worry, I will absolutely never do such a foolish thing again in the future," Aili nodded heavily.

"However, after experiencing what happened last time, I think you shouldn't be easily deceived anymore, right?" Chen Yu said with a smile.

"No, no matter what, I won't be," Aili shook her head; the lesson from last time was etched into her heart.

In her entire life, she would never fall for such a trick again.

"Mr. Chen." Just at this moment, An'er walked over.

He had just finished resolving matters with Ming Lun, and the emotions in his heart were extremely melancholy.

"Mr. An'er has finished resolving his own affairs?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, I've finished resolving things, but..." An'er revealed a look of difficulty: "I don't know if what I did was truly right."

"Rely on your own feelings to act, don't worry about whether it's right or wrong. You are An'er, one of the Three Great Commanders of the Red Skull," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "As for whether it's right or wrong, why do you need to care?"

"Haha, this sentence from Mr. Chen has given me great encouragement." An'er laughed heartily; with this sentence from Chen Yu, he suddenly felt as if he had aged again.

Originally, he thought he was old and it was time to step down, but now he suddenly felt as if he were a dozen years younger.

"My words are not flattery, and I have no need to flatter anyone," Chen Yu said. "It is because you truly possess this strength."

"Old but vigorous, and you haven't reached the time to be old yet. As for the matter of a successor, you really don't need to think too much about it; if there is one, there is one, if not, there isn't," Chen Yu said. "Living your own life is better than anything else."

"Thank you for the guidance, Mr. Chen. I know what to do from now on," An'er said with a smile.

"Does Mr. Chen have any plans for what's next?" An'er asked. "I know you came here for your own affairs. Before your business is finished, you won't leave."

"Yes, I am going to attend to my own affairs. Encountering your issues was just me conveniently resolving some problems for you," Chen Yu smiled and said. "The matters that follow have nothing to do with you."

"And it is best for you to draw a clear line with me, otherwise, it will bring great trouble upon you."

"Understood." An'er nodded heavily. Someone who could make Chen Yu give such a solemn warning to be careful must certainly be someone he could not afford to provoke.

Early the next morning, Chen Yu left the Commander Mansion; Xueli was already waiting outside.

The Pope has regulations that people within the Pope's faction cannot casually intervene in other major forces, not even entering their main gates.

Therefore, she could only wait outside and not step into the Commander Mansion.

Xueli was riding a tall white steed, and this horse was very large; its snow-white body was almost spotless.

She was also holding the reins of another horse in her hand; this horse was prepared for Chen Yu.

"The horse you are riding is very handsome," Chen Yu walked to her side and smiled slightly. "Also, is this horse prepared for me?"

"That's right, it is prepared for you," Xueli said with a smile. "You should know how to ride a horse, right?"

"Are you testing me?" Chen Yu asked.

"Not really, I just wanted to know how many skills you have mastered," Xueli smiled faintly. "Mount up, to Snow Plain Valley."

"Alright." Chen Yu nodded slightly, then vaulted onto the horse. Although he had never ridden a horse before, with his abilities, he quickly mastered the technique. He flicked the horse whip and rode off, leaving everyone behind.

Xueli also followed closely behind Chen Yu. They galloped all the way, and by noon, the two had arrived before a grassland.

This place was already the far north; further ahead was the boundless Snow Plains.

"Ahead is the Snow Plains, the place where the Werewolf Clan stays," Xueli said. "Are you still going to see it through and resolve these matters for me once and for all?"

"It looks like there might be some difficulty, but it's not a big problem." Chen Yu looked at Xueli in the distance and nodded slightly.

"Right now, inside the Pope's faction, some things are also happening," Xueli said.

"Dewen should have already made everyone submit, right?" Chen Yu glanced at Xueli and said. "What else is there that you cannot resolve?"

"Do you remember Degula? The one who failed to compete with Old Ivan for the position of Lord of the Pope," Xueli sighed.

"I remember, he even attacked us last time," Chen Yu nodded.

"He has now gone to an extreme," Xueli said. "He wants to fight against our Pope to the end."

"He is indeed quite an extreme person," Chen Yu nodded slightly and said. "Do you have a way to deal with him?"

"Not yet. Degula is a person who will not stop until he achieves his goal. This time, he has set his sights on the Werewolf Clan," Xueli said. "And with him, the Werewolf Clan's strength has become even more powerful than before."

"He joined the Werewolf Clan?" Chen Yu's brows furrowed slightly. "Does he want to become a Werewolf?"

"Werewolves are not like the Blood Clan, who possess the ability of the Embrace," Xueli said. "He just chose to join, but I don't know what method he used to make the Werewolf Clan believe him."

"That is a bit interesting," Chen Yu smiled slightly and said. "I've discovered that this guy actually possesses a silver tongue."

"He was actually able to hoodwink the Werewolf Clan into believing him. You must know that the Werewolf Clan is cautious; although they are not as cunning as the Blood Clan, they still have basic discernment."

"Yes, the Werewolf Clan and the Pope are locked in a life-and-death struggle. They are not afraid of death at all. If it weren't for the concern of their race being exterminated, they would have fought us to the death back in the Dark Century."

Xueli shook her head and said, "Therefore, for Degula to be able to persuade their leader and join them is also no easy feat."

"Then what about him now? Has he already become a Werewolf?" Chen Yu asked.

"Not yet. Do you see that small city? This is Boluo Small City in the north of Yizhou. Degula is hiding inside here right now," Xueli pointed to a city to the side.

"Then we will capture him and make him understand his own identity," Chen Yu raised his head and said. "Make him know that he is a human, not a Werewolf."

"Mm, this place is already filled with the eyes and ears of people from within the Pope's faction," Xueli said. "As long as he is here, and as long as we are given some time, we can make him have nowhere to hide."

"I know the strength of the Pope's faction; you will definitely be able to find him," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "However, as the most important figure of the former Pope..."
