Jiangnan Province.

I could hear the busy tone on the phone.

Liu Fuyao was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.

It seemed as if one could see Lu Chuan on the other end of the phone, currently in a state of frantic activity.

"whispering sound."

"coward."

Liu Fuyao smiled smugly.

"You've already been married once, so why are you still acting like a naive virgin?"

but.

Since my brother-in-law didn't refuse, there must be a chance.

In that instant, Liu Fuyao was in a great mood, and the fatigue from the fight seemed to have dissipated considerably.

Just then, footsteps suddenly sounded.

Liu Fuyao's smile vanished, her eyes turned cold, and she slowly stood up after putting away her phone.

The newcomer was a middle-aged man wearing a Zhongshan suit, with a deep and profound aura; he was clearly a Martial Spirit expert.

"Liu Fuyao?"

The middle-aged man stopped a meter in front of Liu Fuyao before slowly speaking.

"I am a director of the Taihe Province Martial Arts Association. Someone on our side... wants to see you."

Taihe Province?

Liu Fuyao frowned slightly.

……

South City.

7 PM.

The top-floor conference room of the Martial Arts Association building.

Inside the meeting room.

The atmosphere was heavy.

The huge conference table was surrounded by prominent figures from the martial arts world of Nancheng.

There is a law enforcement team leader.

Special envoy of the Exorcist Bureau.

There are also the heads of various families in the martial arts world of Nancheng.

Various powerful martial artists among the common people.

But at this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on the man in the main seat.

Lei Qianjue.

Head of the Enforcement Hall of the Jiangnan Provincial Martial Arts Association.

He is also the president of the Nancheng Martial Arts Association.

A powerful four-star Martial King.

Lei Qianjue was dressed in a black outfit, with a square face and an imposing presence.

At this moment, a pair of tiger-like eyes swept across the entire scene.

No one in the room dared to meet his gaze.

"Snapped!"

Lei Qianjue finally made a move, slamming a thick document onto the table with a thunderous sound:

"one day!"

"A whole day has passed!"

"The southern city is in such chaos, hundreds are dead and thousands are injured! Even members of the Exorcist Bureau have been injured!"

"But so far, you're telling me you can't even find the source?"

"Did I call you here for a meeting?"

"Did I send you here to take credit?"

"I'm here to give you an explanation!"

The meeting room was completely silent.

The people in charge had their heads down, sweat pouring down their backs.

This animal riot was so bizarre that they paid a heavy price to suppress it in just one day.

But to trace the source...

They really had no other choice.

"President Lei, please calm down."

In the end, only one person in charge of the Demon Extermination Bureau stood up, gritting his teeth.

"We've done our best."

"Our Jimo Division is currently conducting autopsies on the carcasses of the animals that have already been killed. We should be able to find the source of the problem soon?"

"Um."

"This animal mutation is definitely not an accident."

Lei Qianjue took a deep breath, suppressing his anger.

"It was definitely premeditated."

"This situation is not unique to our southern city; it has also occurred in several surrounding cities."

"As instructed by the Jiangnan Provincial Martial Arts Association, we must conduct a thorough investigation."

"Three days only!"

Lei Qianjue looked around at everyone again, and at the same time held up three fingers.

"The mastermind behind this must be found within three days!"

"Otherwise, everyone here will be packing their bags and getting out!"

Everyone felt a chill and responded in unison.

"Now, let me report on the situation in each region."

Lei Qianjue then sat back down in his chair and rubbed his temples.

The people below immediately began to report.

"The cleanup of Dongcheng District is complete; over three hundred mutated dogs have been killed..."

"The Xicheng District suffered relatively heavy casualties; efforts are currently underway to reassure the public..."

"North District..."

Hearing this, Lei Qianjue's brows furrowed more and more, and he became increasingly agitated.

This time, things have changed drastically.

The impact on the southern part of the city was enormous.

Finally… a squad leader from the enforcement team, who had been sitting in the corner, stood up and spoke hesitantly.

"Master Lei, I'm here..."

"There's a rather strange situation."

"explain."

"It's about the South City Zoo."

The squad leader opened his notebook.

"Logically speaking, the South City Zoo has a large number of ferocious animals, so it should be the hardest hit area in this riot."

"but……"

"When our people arrived, they found that the situation there was actually the first to be brought under control."

"Oh?"

Lei Qianjue raised his head, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"What happened?"

"Has a powerful martial artist appeared?"

"I don't know."

"However, according to the staff there, their tigers and lions are usually overfed, so they don't have the energy to cause trouble..."

The squad leader's voice trailed off, clearly indicating that he himself didn't believe the reason.

"absurd!"

Lei Qianjue slammed his hand on the table.

"You believe this nonsense? Keep talking!"

The squad leader quickly wiped his sweat.

"After further investigation, we discovered that it seems that one person was responsible for resolving this crisis."

"That person used to be a zookeeper, but he was fired."

"But he happened to be there today."

"Moreover, according to eyewitness accounts, those wild beasts seemed to be terrified of him."

"What's his name?"

Lei Qianjue asked in a deep voice.

"Lu Chuan".

The squad leader replied,

"We checked his information, and it was very ordinary. Both his parents are deceased, and he has no special background."

"but……"

"His ex-wife was Liu Ruyan, the former secretary of the martial arts association president."

"Lu Chuan?"

Lei Qianjue was somewhat surprised.

It's not just because the name is related to Liu Ruyan.

Furthermore, as a seasoned Martial King, he possessed an almost beast-like intuition.

A zookeeper who was fired.

Yet it was able to suppress a riot of wild beasts in an entire zoo?

There is basically only one explanation.

This Lu Chuan should be an unregistered martial artist from the common people.

However, this is not a big deal.

While the Federation encourages all martial artists to register, it is not mandatory.

"This should be an unregistered martial artist; just keep a close eye on him."

"Is there anything else?"

"There's another situation."

The squad leader added,

"During our investigation, we also discovered something else."

"After the riot, some of the animals in the South City Zoo awakened and became monsters."

"That was a deer that had been hiding in the artificial hill since it awakened into a demon beast."

"They tried to escape after being discovered by our enforcement team."

"Then he was killed."

"The body has now been sent to the laboratory, and we are awaiting the results."

These words were spoken.

The entire audience was instantly shocked.

What?

Animal evolution?

After the animals went berserk, some of them actually evolved into monsters?

The implications of this are quite intriguing.

Even Lei Qianjue's expression instantly turned serious.

"Are you sure it's a demonic beast?"

"Um."

"We don't feel wrong."

"Therefore, we suspect that this incident is probably inextricably linked to the demon race."
