Chapter 2026: My Dao

"No, I have never felt that I have been wronged," Degula sneered and said, "I am the one who failed, so since you chose to let me die in this way, I have nothing to say."

"But don't even think about making me bow my head; I firmly believe that my own path is correct."

"Fine, you are stubborn and persistent, so you will have your tongue cut out for this, and then be sent to the execution ground to be burned to death," Xueli said with a cold expression.

Chen Yu looked at Xueli with some surprise; the Pope's rules were actually this ruthless.

"His sins are grave, and he is also extremely stubborn, so we have no choice but to adopt this method to make him die," Xueli said.

"Fine, this is an internal matter for your Pope; you can digest it yourselves," Chen Yu shook his head.

"Thank you for being able to accompany me to this point," Xueli nodded slightly and said, "The Pope owes you a great favor."

"There is no need for these polite pleasantries; once we finish the matters here, we must quickly resolve the threat of the Northern Snow Plains, that is the real business," Chen Yu shook his head. He did not like these empty gestures; he liked to resolve things all at once to avoid all future worries.

"The Werewolf Clan is extraordinary," Xueli pondered for a moment and said, "Their strength is very great, and the Snow Plains where the werewolves are located have an Ice River that is almost a natural chasm."

"The Ice River is several thousand meters wide, and the Snow Plains after crossing the Ice River are even more fraught with danger, so wanting to start from that place is likely not a simple matter."

"Are you trying to say that the Pope's forces cannot cross the Ice River on a large scale to go to the Snow Plains?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, that place is extremely cold; it is difficult for the Pope's people to even survive there, let alone engage in large-scale combat. So for all these years, the Werewolf Clan has occupied that place, and we simply have no way to cross the river to fight them."

"Then have you thought about whether it is necessarily required for our people to cross the Ice River on a large scale to resolve the Werewolf Clan?" Chen Yu asked.

"That is impossible. The number of the Werewolf Clan is not small, and they have lived and multiplied for so many years; their numbers have reached a terrifying figure. Our believers would likely have to pour out in full force to be able to deal with them," Xueli was startled, and she suddenly raised her head: "You don't mean to say that you want us two to go over and wipe out their Werewolf Clan, do you?"

"Why not?" Chen Yu smiled slightly and said, "The climate of the Snow Plains is too cold, and it is a long, arduous journey to cross the Ice River and the Snow Plains to fight."

"And the Werewolf Clan can wait at their ease within the Snow Plains. By the time the Pope's people arrive, they will be exhausted; how can we fight then? So we can only think of another way to completely eliminate this threat right there."

"What way?" Xueli stared at Chen Yu and asked.

"I heard that the Sacred Land of the Werewolf Clan is the ruins of some Ancient Battlefield?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, it is the dojo of the Ancient Snow Plains of the Gods, but when the crisis arrived, no one could escape," Xueli said, "That place is the final battlefield of the gods."

"I heard that within that battlefield, there is a massive Giant Wind Array," Chen Yu said, "Once the array is activated, the entire Snow Plains will turn into a sea of fire."

"There is such a saying, but wanting to activate the Giant Wind Array is not that easy; it requires the relics of ancient gods as a foundation," Xueli said, and at this point, she suddenly realized what Chen Yu's intention was.

She raised her head and looked at Chen Yu in shock: "You don't mean to activate the Giant Wind Array to turn the entire Snow Plains into a sea of fire, do you?"

"Is this plan not feasible?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

"It is feasible, but... it is too crazy," Xueli was completely stunned.

Yes, there was once a madman of a Bishop within the Pope's ranks who had proposed this bold hypothesis.

But because the Giant Wind Array requires the relics of gods to be activated, and that place is the Sacred Land of the Werewolf Clan, they guard it with almost their entire clan's strength.

Without a powerful and capable small team, it would be impossible to reach that place, and even if one reached it, one would face the Priest-level figures of the Werewolf Clan.

So this mission was almost impossible to complete, and in the end, this plan was shelved.

Now that Chen Yu brought it up again, Xueli still felt her heart pounding; she felt this idea was too crazy and too bold.

"You want to activate the Giant Wind Array in the Ancient Battlefield to trap the Werewolf Clan in the Snow Plains forever?" Xueli looked at Chen Yu in disbelief.

"Why not?" Chen Yu spread his hands: "That Crystal Skull you brought over is the remains of some ancient god."

"Using this thing, one can directly open the Giant Wind Array, and at that time, turning the entire Wolf Clan of the Snow Plains into a sea of fire—isn't that something that can be done easily?"

"It can be done, but..." Xueli's expression was complex: "Do you know how great the difficulty is in this?"

"I don't know the difficulty, but you might as well say it; I'm sure someone must have raised the same question before," Chen Yu smiled slightly and said.

"Yes, someone had proposed the same idea before this," Xueli nodded and said, "But it was rejected."

"The reason is that the difficulty is too great. First of all, we are not like the Werewolf Clan; after entering the Snow Plains, we have no way to resist the cold ice and snow."

"And the ruins of the Ancient Battlefield are actually in the Sacred Land of the Werewolf Clan; they guard it layer by layer, and the Priest-level figures all live there. Wanting to get close to the Sacred Land is extremely difficult."

"So, the fewer people, the better," Chen Yu spread his hands: "Look at the two of us, sneaking in—isn't that very good?"

"If only it were really that simple," Xueli smiled helplessly, but after thinking seriously for a moment, she resolutely raised her head and said, "However, you are right; if we want the Werewolf Clan to disappear completely, then we can only use this method."

"Go back and ask Andelie; he is an elder and should have a way for us to enter the Snow Plains," Chen Yu said, "And while entering, we must also bypass their layers of sentries."

"Andelie will likely not agree with this idea of ours, because when this plan was proposed back then, he was the first one to jump out and oppose it."

"He won't accept it?" Chen Yu asked.

"Yes, he won't accept it," Xueli nodded slowly.

"Then find a way to make him accept it," Chen Yu smiled slightly and said, "I believe you can convince him."

"It is precisely because I am the one taking this risk that he will not agree," Xueli gave a bitter smile and said, "Chen Yu, this matter is really quite difficult."

"Try your best to give it a go; if you don't try, the Werewolf Clan will exist forever, and this threat will also accompany the Pope forever," Chen Yu said, "While I have the time now, I will help you out and resolve the matter completely."
