Fade's face was painted with shock. "You all had already entered Lord Level since then? That means you all used nine hundred years to enter the fourth stage of the Physical Refine Realm!"
"You..." Aldred was so angry that he almost hit Fade's head.
"At that time, martial arts had no advancements at all. It was already difficult for one to reach the Lord Level. Not everyone could practice to the next level of the Physical Refine Realm."
"At the very least, at that time, after we reached the Lord Level, we felt like we had entered a bottleneck phase and that we had already reached the end of martial arts. We thought there was nothing else to improve on."
Fade nodded and looked at Aldred. He asked, "What happened next? It seemed that the other four entered Prohibition Island. Master, why didn't you join? Why did you become their enemy instead?"
Speaking of this, Aldred could not help but sigh softly.
Then, he lamented.
"At that time, when the five of us reached Lord Level, the Three Palace Masters of Prohibition Island personally recruited us and asked us to formally join their organization and become real members of the island. Moreover, once we agreed, they would tell us more secrets about the organization and would also teach us more advanced skills so that we could enter a higher realm than the Lord Level."
"At that time, we were focused on improving our skills. When faced with such an offer, we agreed without even thinking about it."
"However, things changed within a month. At that time, we began to cultivate the techniques taught by the Three Palace Masters, and our strength was indeed improving. Our future was promising."
"However, by chance, I found out that the students who entered Prohibition Island with us were locked in the dungeon, like livestock. They had tubes all over them, and their blood was constantly being drawn out."
"The scene shocked me. That was because in the beginning, Prohibition Island told us that most of their people left the Island after learning martial arts. Only a few who were outstanding enough stayed on the Island and held various positions. Unexpectedly, they had been deceiving us."
Speaking of this, Fade immediately thought of the scene he saw when he snuck into the dungeon of Skytop Palace to see Yarrow.
Immediately, he gnashed his teeth in anger. "Prohibition Island has been doing this for thousands of years!"
Aldred knew what Fade was thinking of. Hence, he nodded slightly and replied, "Yes. At that time, I was shocked. I wanted to save them but I was alone and had no way to help them."
"I could only retreat temporarily and tell the others about it. I wanted them to help me figure out the situation and save our fellow students." "It's just that the four of them were suspicious of my words. Monon and Nigel were determined not to oppose Prohibition Island. Therefore, I could only ask them not to tell anyone while Dracula, Zuru, and I thought of ways to get them out."
"A fortnight later, I still hadn't made any progress. I could only look for opportunities to enter the dungeon and see if I could find any clues from those people who were locked up"
"And that's when I met Yarrow."
Fade was shocked. "Does this mean that Yarrow has been locked up for nearly a thousand years?"
He could not imagine how despairing it was for a man to spend nearly a thousand years in a dark and damp dungeon.
Aldred nodded and said, "Yarrow was the one who helped me to survive and escape Prohibition Island."
"I was exploring around the dungeon trying to
help my friends when Yarrow told me there was something wrong with my body. My cultivation method had been tampered with. Although it felt like there was nothing wrong generally, he said I would encounter a barrier at a critical moment in the realm. If the other party had mastered my weakness, as long as they aimed at it, I would have no power to fight back."
