Yun Qi hesitated as he looked at Shen Yanxiao. That period of history was not a glorious moment for Warlocks. Instead, it was truly a nightmare for Warlocks in the Brilliance Continent. Moreover, it was not only for Warlocks, it was the same for everyone else on the continent too.

Ye Qing looked at Yun Qi’s troubled expression and sighed. “Don’t take what happened back then to heart. In the end, they were just a group of bad apples. Even now, I still believe most Warlocks are innocent.” Ye Qing was already over a hundred years old. However, after he became a Great Herbalist, his lifespan had been greatly extended. Therefore, he had some understanding of the tragedy that befell on Warlocks many years ago.

He had gone through all that, and knowing why Warlocks had suffered persecution during that time, he naturally understood Yun Qi’s worries.

Yun Qi was afraid that Shen Yanxiao would reject his beloved profession once she told her about the tragedy.

Yun Qi looked at Ye Qing gratefully. Finally, after taking a moment to calm his mind, he took a deep breath and explained the reason for Warlocks’ downfall.

“Warlocks are a special profession. Although the public is aware that their offensive skills are sinister, they are oblivious to the terrifying power behind each curse. Our curses now are able to attack every single part of the human body—their meridians, their brain, and most importantly, their consciousness. Initially, Warlocks only used curses as basic offensive skills. However, there was a group of extremely intelligent Warlocks who extracted certain essences from each curse.”

“With their ingenuity, they managed to apply it to various parts of the human body to control the organs. However, they did not stop there, as some Warlocks continued to do research on each curse to create Forbidden Skills.”

“Forbidden Skills?” Shen Yanxiao looked at Yun Qi in confusion.

Yun Qi said, “The so-called Forbidden Skills are skills that are not allowed to ever surface on the Brilliance Continent, as it will bring about immeasurable harm. Once those Warlocks created a Forbidden Skill, it allowed those Warlocks to forcefully change the characteristics of a human body.”

Yun Qi paused for a moment. He seemed to be in pain as he recollected those painful memories. He struggled for a long time before he continued, “In order to know about the secrets of Forbidden Skills, those Warlocks experimented on living humans in masses. At first, their experiments were done very secretively, as they would only experiment on some unmemorable beggars or neglected orphans. However, after they discovered more about Forbidden Skills, they were no longer satisfied with just experimenting on common people. So, they began secretly capturing powerful professionals. As you know, Warlocks are the kings of sneak attacks. When several Warlocks work together, almost no expert can escape their clutches. After they captured some experts, they began to lock them up and conduct in-depth experimentation.”

“Even though they were very sneaky with their actions, those experts were different from the neglected beggars and orphans. They had followers and family members. Their disappearance had caused panic among their family members. Moreover, the public knew something was wrong when a large number of strong experts had mysteriously disappeared, regardless of nationality or profession. At that time, everyone in the Brilliance Continent felt a sense of dread looming over their heads, and the four countries immediately dispatched all of their forces to conduct an investigation.”

“They discovered them?” Shen Yanxiao was shocked when she heard that. Experimenting on a living human… That sounded familiar, but she could not recall where she had heard that before.

Yun Qi shook his head.

“I told you that those Warlocks are smart. They would not leave any clues behind.”

“What happened after that?”

Yun Qi sighed and forced a smile. “Because of their Forbidden Skills, they created a monster they could not control …”
