"There are three other people who entered the Broken Star Palace at the same time as me. They are also experts who had just broken through the second stage. After we entered the Broken Star Palace, the sages took us to do some tests. After that, they let us swallow a kind of shining medicine pill, saying that it could help us increase our dou qi or magic. At that time, I had no thoughts that the Broken Star Palace would do anything harmful against us and did everything according to the orders of the sages. After taking the medicine pill, I could feel the dou qi in my body growing crazily. In less than a month, I broke through another level in the second stage.” As he narrated all this, there was only suffering on Su He’s face, and not the slightest trace of being fine.
"In the past two hundred years, we took that medicine pill almost every six months. After taking it, our strength would be greatly enhanced. But then, a second stage Magister who entered the Broken Star Palace at the same time as me suddenly fell seriously ill. Within a week, he changed from the strong man that he was to a skinny old man in front of me. At first, I didn’t care about it. I thought it was a strange disease. But with the death of people who were around me one by one, I vaguely felt something was wrong.”
Su He looked pale as if he had thought of some terrible experience.
"It was not until it was my turn that I knew that they were not sick at all, but their dou qi and magic was forcibly taken out of their body and then they died of exhaustion. The medicine pills we took before are basically made from the power extracted from other people’s bodies. The Broken Star Palace nurtures the strong. They will distribute the pills to every new member who enters the Broken Star Palace. But if their advancement is not fast enough, they will eventually fall victim to the pills. And we are all victims. Even after all the dou qi in my body had been extracted, I did not collapse and die like those people. Due to that, the people of the Broken Star Palace seemed to think I was useful, so they handed me over to the group of Warlocks who were studying the forbidden techniques, and then I became such a strange monster as I am now.”
Su He spilled out everything that happened to him in one breath.
What he said, however, brought a huge impact to Shen Yanxiao.
From the beginning, Shen Yanxiao suspected that the Broken Star Palace had something to do with that group of Warlocks. Now, when she heard Su He’s story, she confirmed her guess even more.
"Lord, I didn’t mean to hide it from you, it’s just... the people of the Broken Star Palace are so inhumane that I was afraid that if I told you all about it, it would cause unnecessary trouble for The Rising Sun City.” After being experimented on twice, Su He had become completely desperate. If he had not encountered Shen Yanxiao, he feared that he would become a numb slave for his whole life.
Once an expert who dominated one side of the world, he had eventually fallen to the point of being regarded as a slave. The gap was very large.
If it weren’t for Shen Yanxiao’s search for the Broken Star Palace, Su He would not have told others about his tragic past in his lifetime.
But when he knew that Shen Yanxiao was going to look for the Broken Star Palace in the Forgotten Traces, he could no longer sit still. On the day Shen Yanxiao left The Rising Sun City, Su He rushed over quickly.
He did not want to see Shen Yanxiao have any accidents.
Shen Yanxiao was a great benefactor to him, and he would never allow the Broken Star Palace to hurt his benefactor.
