Su Chen was confused, but couldn't find any clues. Of these two sects, not only the sect leaders did not return, but also the warriors who were supposed to be waiting outside the secret realm did not return either.
This confirmed that something must have happened to them.
"Let's go back to Tianquan Capital first."
Su Chen had no clues and did not intend to waste any more time in the southwest border area. He decided to return to Tianquan Capital first to see if there was any news there.
Returning to Tianquan Capital, Su Chen first went to see the King of Tianquan.
Although Su Chen did not intend to make the matter of the Demon Mier Jue known to the public, Su Chen felt that it was necessary to tell him the king of Tianquan. At least let him know that such a thing happened in his own country.
However, when Su Chen wanted to see the King of Tianquan, he was unexpectedly told that the King was busy with affairs and did not have time to see him for the time being. He had only sent a minister to see him.
This made Su Chen a little confused. The attitude of the Tianquan monarch seemed a bit strange. Knowing that he was the auxiliary holy king of the Tianguang Dynasty, the other party's attitude could be said to be contemptuous.
What's more, when Su Chen first arrived in the Tianquan Dynasty, he helped King Tianquan suppress Prince Wo's rebellion. King Tianquan was very grateful to him at that time.
At this moment, Su Chen felt that the current attitude of Lord Tianquan seemed a bit unreasonable.
However, Su Chen was able to calm down and invite the minister in.
The ancient Suzaku bloodline has always lived away from the crowd, and has never seen such excitement. At this moment, it is also in the image of a human youth, watching with interest.
"Prince Ji Chen, in fact, our monarch really wants to see you in person. However, the monarch is really busy with business right now, so he asked me to come to see you on his behalf."
The minister was smiling all over his face, and all he said were kind words.
However, Su Chen still learned from the other party
There was something different in his evasive eyes.
At the moment, Su Chen said calmly: "If you, the Tianquan Dynasty, have any objections to me, you can raise them in person. Doing one thing beforehand and another thing afterward makes people look down on me."
This obviously refers to the fact that King Tianquan treated Su Chen very warmly and courteously before, but now he treats him coldly.
The Minister of Tianquan was also slightly shocked by what Su Chen said, and then he immediately smiled and said: "Prince Ji Chen, you really think too much. There is no such thing. It's just that our monarch is too busy with his affairs."
Su Chen had never seen anything, so he couldn't be deceived by the other party's perfunctory words. He just smiled lightly and said without comment, "Okay, I understand the attitude of the Tianquan Dynasty. I will report the truth to Tianguang when I go back.
Dynasty Queen.”
When the minister heard this, his expression changed again and his lips moved a few times, but in the end he said nothing and bowed and left.
Su Chen's temptation made him even more suspicious. Logically speaking, the Tianquan Dynasty should not want to offend the Tianguang Dynasty.
But now, the Tianquan Dynasty is willing to take the risk of becoming enemies with the Tianguang Dynasty and treat Su Chen slowly.
There must be something wrong here.
Su Chen thought for a while, found a smart servant, gave him some rewards, and asked him to go out and inquire about what news there was in the royal capital recently.
The man did as he was told. He went out to inquire for a long time and then came back and told Su Chen a few new things.
"What else is new?"
After Su Chen heard this, he asked again.
"There's one more thing, but dear
The king has heard this, but please don’t punish me.”
That servant was smarter and said to Su Chen with a playful smile.
"As long as what you say is true, there will be no punishment. Just say it."
Su Chen said.
"Well, it's like this. During this period, there have been a lot of rumors about you from the outside world. However, they are not about your status as a prince, but about your status as the king's envoy. It is said that something happened to you when you went to the southwest border.
Issues."
The servant said.
"whats the matter?"
Su Chen was also a little puzzled.
"Well, those things are just some dirty talk about you."
The servant said quickly.
"Tell me more specifically, what are the rumors?"
Su Chen said calmly.
"There is a rumor now that there is a secret realm in the southwest border, where demon warriors appear, and you took refuge with the demon warriors in the secret realm, killing many people, and now you want to come out to harm others..."
After the servant finished speaking, he quickly added, "Of course, no discerning person would believe such rumors!"
"Yeah?"
Su Chen was actually very surprised in his heart. Who spread this news? However, Su Chen remained calm on the surface and said with a half-smile, "It seems that there should be a lot of people who believe it. Tell me,
Does anyone believe it?"
"Well, there are... some brainless guys, they believe it, and they keep spreading the news. Now the whole royal capital is feeling a bit stormy."
The servant could only admit it.
After hearing this, Su Chen finally understood why Lord Tianquan avoided him. It was because of such rumors.
Existence. The King of Tianquan would rather take the risk of offending the Tianguang Dynasty than be in the same room as himself, a "warrior who has taken refuge in the devil's way".
Su Chen also felt strange that a demonic warrior appeared in the secret realm. The only people who knew about this matter were Su Chen and the Suzaku bloodline, as well as the masters of the Jufeng Sect and the Yueguang Sect. The rest were those who had taken refuge with the witch Miejue.
Among them, it is absolutely impossible for Su Chen and the Suzaku bloodline to leak the news. The two sect leaders have now disappeared and cannot be verified. As for those who have taken refuge in the Witch of Miejue, Su Chen can be sure that he has killed them all and has not
A fish that slipped through the net.
But if no one leaked the news, it would be impossible for anyone to come up with such rumors about the magic warrior.
So, who leaked the news?
Are they those two sect leaders?
There was no reason for those two people to do such a thing. Besides, how could they alone make this matter known to the entire capital?
This matter, coupled with the disappearance of the two sect leaders and the disappearance of those warriors waiting outside the secret realm, has a strange meaning no matter how you think about it.
"Who spread these rumors first? Why do so many people believe them?"
Su Chen frowned and asked.
"It's the sects in the southwest border area, the sect masters of Ziting Sect, and the sect masters of Xinghuo Sect..."
The servant said.
"What?"
Before he could finish speaking, Su Chen suddenly interrupted him and stood up from his chair.
The ancient Suzaku bloodline on the side also looked shocked.
"Are you sure this is really a rumor spread by these people themselves?"
