Chapter 798: The Mystery of the Warlock’s Downfall (6)
Yun Qi was surprised by Shen Yanxiao’s question. He hesitated for a moment before he said, “Back then, the four countries did a thorough check, so there was almost no chance for those Warlocks to escape. Those Warlocks, who participated in the research, were also arrested and executed in secret. I don’t think anyone managed to escape.”
That disaster was too terrifying for the Brilliance Continent. The effort to eliminate Warlocks was no less than when they dealt with the demons.
However, Shen Yanxiao’s expression did not ease. She had many counter-proofs to that statement around her that it was impossible for her to believe Yun Qi’s words.
Shen Yanxiao hesitated for a moment as she looked at the doubtful Yun Qi. Eventually, she cautiously said, “Teacher, would you believe me if I told you that I have seen someone who has been affected by a Forbidden Skill not long ago?”
Yun Qi was stunned. He looked at Shen Yanxiao in disbelief and furrowed his eyebrows.
“Have you really met him?”
Shen Yanxiao nodded and said, “Not only have I met him, but you have also met him as well.”
“What?”
“Teacher, you must have interacted with Xiao Feng a few times while you were in Sun Never Sets. Did you not notice anything unusual about him?” Shen Yanxiao asked.
“Xiao Feng?” Yun Qi narrowed his eyes. When he and Ye Qing arrived at Sun Never Sets, they had interacted with the young man named Lan Fengli a few times. However, Lan Fengli was never too interested in them. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he would rarely appear in public. They had not even had the chance to hear him speak.
If Shen Yanxiao had not returned today and Lan Fengli had not called her sister, they would have thought that he was mute.
“Don’t tell me that Xiao Feng is …” Yun Qi’s heart skipped a beat. He would not have sensed anything if Shen Yanxiao did not mention it. However, when he met Lan Fengli, he did sense a strange aura from him. However, he was busy removing the curse on the citizens to dwell on it too much.
Shen Yanxiao looked at Yun Qi and nodded silently.
“How could this be?” Yun Qi’s face paled. He believed that Shen Yanxiao would never joke about this serious matter.
Shen Yanxiao was not in a better mood.
“Not only Xiao Feng, but all of Uncle Nine’s subordinates had gone through racial integration. However, unlike Xiao Feng, all of them were failed products. In fact, Xiao Feng possessed all the characteristics of the seven races except for the God race.”
The blood drained from Yun Qi’s face and his hands trembled as he held onto the chair handle.
“The seven great races … the seven great races. They are still alive, and they have progressed so far!” Yun Qi found it hard to breathe.
“Teacher, do you know who they are?” Shen Yanxiao stared at Yun Qi. From the very beginning, Yun Qi had expressed a deep understanding in the topic of Forbidden Skills. It was not something that just anyone could know. If he had not personally experienced the research on the Forbidden Skills, Yun Qi would not have known about the three main studies of the research on Forbidden Skills. However, Shen Yanxiao did not want to believe that her kind and upright teacher would participate in the research that was similar to a massacre.
Yun Qi looked at Shen Yanxiao in panic as he gripped the handle tightly. His pursed lips revealed his nervousness.
“I… I know…” Yun Qi lowered his head and revealed a bitter smile.
With a hoarse voice, he said with great difficulty, “Originally, I did not want you to know about this. I did not want you to know how ugly your teacher was in the past. But now, it seems like I can no longer hide it.”
