Chapter 797 - The Mystery of the Warlock's Downfall (5)

“Those are all excuses. If they were really afraid that they would harm others, they should have just relocated them into one area.” Shen Yanxiao sneered. The mass killing was only because the rulers were afraid that their strength would threaten their reign. They were also afraid that the other countries would absorb them in their army, turning those human weapons against them. They were afraid of the hidden implications of keeping them alive, and so they just got rid of them in fear.”

The so-called imperial power used to reap the lives of others for their own selfish reasons. All of the reasons they put up was just a front they put up to look good while condemning the innocent.

“Well, that was a long time ago. There’s no point in talking about it now.” Yun Qi sighed. Shen Yanxiao’s words were harsh, but they had some truth to it.

“Teacher, how far did those Warlocks research into Forbidden Skills?” Shen Yanxiao bit her lips. It was probably not a simple finding to cause the rulers of the four countries to be so afraid.

Yun Qi hesitated. Even Ye Qing had no idea about the contents of the Warlocks’ research, as that was a secret between the rulers of the four countries. They had never publicized the specific content of the Forbidden Skills to outsiders. Therefore, not many knew anything about it in detail.

However, Yun Qi knew what those Forbidden Skills can do after those experiments.

“Forget it. There’s nothing else I can hide from you.” Yun Qi forced a smile and said, “They have conducted three studies on Forbidden Skill. One of them was to integrate the characteristics of different races into the human body to produce a whole new race. Another study was to transplant battle aura and magic. And lastly, the study to prolong one’s life.”

Yun Qi’s words were like a thunderbolt that exploded in Shen Yanxiao’s mind.

Multiple races? Transfer of battle aura and magic?

Those words were too familiar to her!

In the Graveyard of the Sun, in that small village, were they not failed products that had been modified? Even Lan Fengli had the characteristics of the seven races in his body. Were they not results of racial integration?

The transfer of battle aura and magic was the reason Shen Duan and Shen Yifeng’s strength had improved by leaps and bounds!

Other than the last study about prolonging life, Shen Yanxiao had already experienced the first two Forbidden Skills.

Who would have thought that these two heaven-defying skills were the reason for Warlocks’ demise?

Shen Yanxiao had a scary thought. According to Yun Qi, all the Warlocks who participated in the research had been killed. Theoretically speaking, these three Forbidden Skills should have been extinct. However, Shen Yanxiao had come into contact with the people who had been affected by Forbidden Skills just not long ago.

Those villagers, Lan Fengli, Shen Duan, Shen Yifeng …

The changes in Shen Duan and Shen Yifeng happened in that one year, and it had been hundreds of years since Warlocks went extinct.

In other words, the Warlocks who participated in the research of Forbidden Skills…

They did not die!

They continued to research Forbidden Skills that could make one’s hair stand on end.

Shen Yanxiao’s expression darkened. She had always found the abnormalities between Lan Fengli and Shen Duan to be strange, but she had never associated them together.

If the changes in their bodies stemmed from the same source, then the connection between them …

“Teacher, are all those warlocks really dead?” Cold sweat broke out on Shen Yanxiao’s forehead. Her theory was too shocking. Those Warlocks, who had experimented on human beings hundreds of years ago, could very well be hiding in a corner of the Brilliance Continent to continue their research on those heinous Forbidden Skills.
