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

"That's just an excuse. If they really feared that those people would hurt others, they could have just put them in one place." Shen Yanxiao sneered. They killed them not because they were afraid of the powerful strength of these people; they killed them because they were afraid that the strength of these people could threaten their own power and status. They were even more afraid that another country would get these people for themselves and turn them into their military power. They were all afraid of the consequences that might happen, so they could only sacrifice these people.

They could disregard other people's lives for the sake of their imperial power and their selfishness; they would do anything as long as their imperial power was not shaken.

"Ah, this already happened a long time ago, there's no use talking about it." Yun Qi sighed. Though Shen Yanxiao's words were harsh, they were all true.

"Master, how much does the Forbidden Technique Research change people?" Shen Yanxiao bit her lips. For the four rulers to be afraid of it, it must not be so simple.

Yun Qi was a bit hesitant. Even Ye Qing had no way to know about the inside matters of the Forbidden Technique Research. This secret was only known by the rulers of the four countries. Because they had never given a lot of details to the public about what had happened inside the Forbidden Technique Research, people remained ignorant about this matter.

However, Yun Qi was aware of what the Forbidden Technique Research truly was.

"I already said too much, yet you still want more. I truly can't hide anything from you." Yun Qi smiled, "The Forbidden Technique Research has three kinds: One is to integrate the characteristics of different races to a human body and produce a human with the abilities of the major races; another one is the transferring of dou qi and magic; and the last one is the extension of life."

Yun Qi's words were like lightning that struck Shen Yanxiao's mind.

Integration of major races? Transfering of dou qi and magic?

These phrases were too familiar to her!

At the small village near the Sun Graveyard, were there not a group of people that could transform and were said to be failed products of an experiment? Was not Lan Fengli's body possessed of characteristics from seven races as a result of mixing different races into a human body?

And was not the transferring of dou qi and magic the reason for the rapid growth of Shen Duan and Shen Yifeng?!

Besides extending someone's life, Shen Yanxiao had already seen the first two kinds with her own two eyes.

Who could have imagined that these two things were actually from the Forbidden Technique Research that resulted in the downfall of the Warlock profession?

A terrible guess came into Shen Yanxiao's mind: according to Yun Qi, the Warlocks who had participated in the Forbidden Technique Research were all wiped out. If that was the case, then these three kinds of the Forbidden Technique Research should had also been obliterated. But didn't she just come into contact with people experiencing the same thing as those human test subjects in the Forbidden Technique Research?

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

The change that occurred with Shen Duan and Shen Yifeng had clearly happened just this year. And the extermination of Warlocks clearly happened hundreds of years ago.

That was to say, those Warlocks who had participated in the Forbidden Technique Research...

Did not die!

They were still living and conducting the horrible Forbidden Technique Research.

Shen Yanxiao's face became unsightly. She had always been very surprised by the abnormalities in Lan Fengli's and Shen Yifeng's body, but she had never linked them together.

If the change in them originated from the same Forbidden Technique Research, then that meant the link between them was...

"Masters, are you sure that those Warlocks had really died?" A cold sweat came out from Shen Yanxiao's forehead. If her guess was right, then the Warlocks who were supposed to be wiped out hundreds of years ago were very likely still hiding at the corners of the Radiance Continent and continuing the dangerous Forbidden Technique Research.
