Chapter 4007
The man in front of him was the king, Lin Yu and Lin Lin's father. He did not deliberately release his aura, but when he looked at Zi Chen, he felt his breathing quicken.
Zi Chen cupped his fists and bowed instead of kneeling. "Zi Chen greets the king!"
The king waved his hand, indicating that Zi Chen did not need to be so polite. Naturally, he would not blame Zi Chen for his etiquette.
"What do you think of the Sea Clan?" the king asked.
"Pretty good. It's quiet and peaceful. It's a pure land," Zi Chen said after thinking for a while.
"This is just on the surface. In fact, the reason why the Sea Clan chose to be neutral in the battle between the two clans is because they have their own dangers."
The king stared outside the hall. "They are water monsters, or sea monsters. Most of them are not very intelligent, but they are extremely powerful.
They are the greatest enemy of the Sea Clan. The number of Sea Clan members who die in battle every year is no less than the two clans in the Scarlet Canyon. "
It was not the first time Zi Chen had heard the term water monster. He did not expect it to be the greatest enemy of the Sea Clan. It seemed that the Sea Clan had no choice but to remain neutral.
"What do you plan to do next?" The king looked at Zi Chen.
"Does the Soul-devouring Clan already know that I'm here?" Zi Chen asked instead of answering.
The reason for this question was because the King was asking him about his plans, not when he would return.
If the king had asked about his return, the Sea Clan would naturally have a way to send him back.
However, the king's plan was different.
"In order to deal with you, a Heavenly Soul from the Soul-devouring Clan gave up all his authority. The other Heavenly Souls of the Soul-devouring Clan were mobilized, and countless Earth Souls came. In the end, the Soul-devouring Clan suffered heavy casualties, and your whereabouts are unknown."
The king looked at Zi Chen meaningfully. "How do you think the Soul-devouring Clan will feel?"
Zi Chen said, "If they don't see my body, it means that I might be dead. However, they will most likely think that I'm with the Sea Clan."
The king nodded and said, "That's right. That's the reason.
The Soul-devouring Clan won't let this go if they can't see your body and be certain that you're dead. "
Zi Chen looked at the king and said, "Does the king mean that I can't return to Bloodbath City yet?"
The King said, "The news that you are still alive must not reach Bloody Battle City.
You have to give up everything you have now. Only then will you be safer.
As for the news about you, no matter how it spreads in the sea race, it will never reach the two races. "
Zi Chen understood the king's meaning. He couldn't go back for the time being, and he couldn't secretly tell Shan Ya and Lan Gu Meng that he was still alive, even if Zi Chen believed that the two would keep this secret for him.
For safety.
Not only her, but also the two of them and Zi Chen's other friends.
If the Soul-devouring Clan could use his friends to threaten him once, they could do it a second time, or even more times.
However, what puzzled Zi Chen was why the king wanted to tell him this personally. Wouldn't it be better to let Lin Yu and Lin Lin tell him?
The king walked in front of Zi Chen, patted his shoulder, and said: "Go, there is no need to feel any pressure. The main reason I called you here today is to see you. After all, the current you is an extremely famous genius in the two races."
Zi Chen scratched his head and smiled. Then, he bid farewell and left.
He originally thought that the king would treat him to a meal, but it seemed that he had thought too much.
Just after Zi Chen left, a graceful and beautiful woman walked over from the other side. She grabbed the king's arm and asked, "How was it?"
The king shook his head and said, "It was very different from what I imagined."
The woman asked, "What's different?"
"It lacked a bit of sharpness and aggressiveness. He looked like a simple young man, polite, gentle, and courteous to others."
The king thought for a moment and said, "He killed nine prodigies by himself. Originally, I thought that he would have a personality like Wei Kong."
"So you're not satisfied?" the woman asked again.
"No, on the contrary, I like his personality very much. He's like a sheathed sword. His sharpness is restrained, but once unsheathed, it will definitely shine brightly."
The king smiled and said, "It's just that I'm very surprised. He doesn't show off and even deliberately hides his sharpness. Why would the Soul-devouring Clan feel that he's a great threat?
Of course, the Soul-devouring Clan is right. If such a person is an enemy, they should go all out. "
His Majesty sighed and said, "It's a pity that they missed this opportunity. I just don't know if we can seize this opportunity."
The woman looked back outside the palace and said, "I hope so."

Polly toured the imperial city for three days. Then, she left with her friends satisfied. Before leaving, Zi Chen prepared a gift for everyone.
He gave Polly a protective feather coat, which looked very beautiful. He gave Xiao Guang a long sword suitable for the sea tribe. His little disciple and the others also had gifts.
Although Zi Chen was the one who bought the items, the one who paid was Princess Lin Yu. After all, Zi Chen had nothing here.
After sending them out of the imperial city, Zi Chen walked towards the imperial palace. With the imperial order, no one stopped him.
As he walked, a ray of light flashed. It was a blue astral coin, which contained a lot of power. It was also the little money Zi Chen had left.
Then, another ray of light appeared.
Both the little fairy and the spirit robe were indispensable. If he neglected anyone, he would be angry.
Especially the spirit robe. If it wasn't for its protection last time, it would have been very difficult for Zi Chen to accomplish such a feat. Moreover, the spirit robe had suffered great damage. Fortunately, it was of extraordinary quality and was not completely damaged. Therefore, it could be repaired by consuming blue crystal coins or blue astral coins.
The smile on Zi Chen's face gradually faded. He, who had just parted with Polly, began to worry again. Because of these two feys, who only knew how to eat, he was about to use up all his savings. If he didn't have any additional supplements, he would really be penniless.
After returning to the imperial city, Zi Chen went to his own residence. After recovering from his injuries, he moved out of Princess Lin Yu's room. It was not appropriate to always stay there.
"I didn't expect you to be so sentimental. Your friend just left and you're already sad?
But isn't your sadness a little too fake? You should at least shed a few tears, right? "
Princess Lin Lin was standing at the door unknowingly. Lin Yu was also there, looking at him with a smile.
"Girl, you're really sharp-tongued. Why didn't you knock before coming in?" Zi Chen glanced at Lin Lin and nodded at Lin Yu.
"This is my home. I can go wherever I want."
Lin Lin casually sat down and looked up at Zi Chen as if to say, "What can you do to me?"
"Are you troubled?" Lin Yu sat opposite Zi Chen.
"I'm worried about money."
Zi Chen stood up and poured water for Lin Yu. "If I can't get money, I can't continue living."
"Tsk."
