Chapter 2417 The shocking truth

Su Chen was confused, but couldn't find any clue. In these two sects, not only the sect masters did not return, but the warriors who were supposed to be waiting outside the secret realm also did not return.

This confirmed that something must have happened to them.

"Let's go back to Tianquan Capital first."

Su Chen had no clues and had no intention of wasting any more time in the southwest border area. He decided to go back 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 Witch Miejue public, Su Chen felt that it was necessary to tell the Lord of Tianquan. At least let him know that this 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 King seemed a bit strange. Knowing that he was the Holy King of the Auxiliary Kingdom of the Tianguang Dynasty, the other party's attitude could be said to be contemptuous.

What's more, when Su Chen first arrived at the Tianquan Dynasty, he helped the Tianquan King suppress Prince Wo's rebellion. At that time, the king of Tianquan was very grateful to him.

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.

In the ancient Suzaku bloodline, they had always lived away from the crowd, but they had never seen such excitement. At this moment, he was also in the form of a human youth, watching with interest.

"Prince Ji Chen, actually, 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 read some different meanings from the other party's slightly 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. One thing beforehand and another thing afterward, but it is looked down upon."

This obviously refers to the fact that King Tianquan treated Su Chen very warmly and courteously before, but now he treats him coldly.

The Tianquan Minister 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. At the moment, he just smiled lightly and said without comment: "Okay, I also understand the attitude of the Tianquan Dynasty. I will truthfully report to the Queen of the Tianguang Dynasty when I go back."

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 antagonism with the Tianguang Dynasty and treat Su Chen slowly.

There must be something wrong here.

Su Chen thought for a while, then found a smart servant, gave him some rewards, and asked him to go out and inquire about what news was happening 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 if the prince listens, 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. 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 confused.

"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 are coming 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. Who spread this news? However, Su Chen remained calm on the surface and said with a half-smile, "It seems that there are many people who believe it. Tell me, who believes it?"

"Well, there are... some brainless guys, they believe it, and they keep spreading the news. Now the whole royal capital is a bit stormy."
