Chapter 293 The entire city is evacuated; the Martial Emperor of the Southern City returns to the So

These past few days.

The Nancheng Street area became deserted at a visible speed.

The once bustling streets are now deserted, with not a single car in sight for half a day.

All the shops along the road were closed.

The roller shutter door was sealed with a tape.

Only the enforcement teams and the Exorcists' Division under the Martial Arts Association occasionally walk the streets.

Even those martial artists who didn't leave.

They all live in cramped apartments.

The entire southern part of the city looked like a dead city.

Meanwhile, at the South City Zoo.

It was so quiet that you couldn't even hear birds chirping.

The animals have been moved away in batches, and there are no tourists at all.

Lu Chuan, on the other hand, was happy to have some free time.

I still come to the zoo to clock in for work on time every day.

In his office in the administration building, Lu Chuan sat cross-legged on the sofa with his eyes slightly closed.

Since Medusa told him a couple of days ago that comprehending the laws doesn't require a specific environment and can be done anytime, anywhere, Lu Chuan has been activating his "heaven-defying comprehension" talent whenever he has free time.

In my mind.

They continued to deduce fragments of the laws of fire.

A wisp of scorching heat surrounded him, raising the temperature in the office considerably.

Lu Chuan had a feeling.

I am getting closer and closer to becoming the Martial Emperor.

"Knock knock knock".

Just then, a knock sounded on the door.

Lu Chuan opened his eyes and withdrew the aura of the fire law surrounding him.

"Enter."

The office door was pushed open.

Su Ling'er and Nalan Yanran walked in one after the other.

The two women were clearly dressed up carefully today.

Su Ling'er was dressed in a proper white training uniform, with her hair tied in a high ponytail, making her look energetic and capable.

Nalan Yanran was dressed in a light purple warrior outfit, with a black belt around her waist that accentuated her slender waist.

"Senior brother, we're here."

As soon as she entered, Su Ling'er's face was full of anticipation.

"Where is my master?"

Early this morning, Lu Chuan sent them a message saying that his master had returned and wanted to see them.

This thrilled the two women.

She didn't even have time for breakfast before she quickly started washing her hair and putting on makeup.

Seeing the two women's expressions, Lu Chuan smiled and stood up, saying...

"They're all here."

"Then come with me."

He then led the two women out of the administration building.

As soon as I walked onto the main road of the park, I ran into Zhao Lei.

Zhao Lei was carrying a large bag and walking out, sweating profusely.

Upon seeing Lu Chuan, Zhao Lei quickly stopped and greeted him with a smile.

"Brother Chuan, where are you guys headed?"

"I'm going out to take care of some errands."

"Are you leaving too?"

Zhao Lei sighed, then put the large bag on the ground.

"Yeah, Brother Chuan."

"I received a notice from the subdistrict office that I will be taking a bus to evacuate Nancheng early tomorrow morning."

"That's why I rushed back to pack some things."

As he spoke, he looked at the empty zoo, a hint of reluctance in his eyes.

"Brother Chuan, what exactly is going on in Nancheng?"

"Why did they just suddenly withdraw? I still feel uneasy about it."

"I've heard that several other major cities are doing the same thing; everyone's retreating. Do you think war is really going to break out?"

"Don't overthink it. If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up."

Lu Chuan patted his shoulder helplessly.

"If the higher-ups order you to evacuate, then you evacuate accordingly."

"Live a good life in the rear."

Zhao Lei nodded.

"I see."

"Brother Chuan, when are you leaving?"

"This southern part of the city isn't safe right now. I'm worried about leaving you here alone."

Lu Chuan smiled and shook his head.

"It'll be soon. I might have to leave in a couple of days."

"Okay, then Brother Chuan, please be careful in Nancheng. We'll get together again sometime."

Zhao Lei picked up his bag again, ready to leave.

"Lei Zi, wait a minute."

Lu Chuan suddenly called out to him.

Zhao Lei turned around.

"What's wrong, Brother Chuan?"

Lu Chuan asked with a smile,

"I heard that you've been claiming online lately that you're the eldest disciple of the Martial Emperor of Nancheng?"

"ah."

Zhao Lei's face immediately turned red with embarrassment.

"Brother Chuan, you already know?"

"I was just bragging online, just venting my frustrations."

"These days, everyone online claims to be a disciple of the Martial Emperor of Nancheng. I'm just trying to ride the wave of popularity."

"Hahaha."

Lu Chuan flipped his wrist.

brush.

He took out a small black sword, about a foot long, from his system space and forcefully shoved it into Zhao Lei's hand.

"Since you're a disciple of the Martial Emperor of the Southern City, how can you not even have a decent weapon?"

"Take this sword."

"In a critical moment, it might save your life."

This small sword was casually forged by Lu Chuan using leftover scraps of Nine Nether Cold Iron and Ten Thousand Year Ice Soul when he reforged the Black Halberd in the Twin Saints' Ruins.

Although it cannot compare to a divine weapon like a halberd, it is definitely a top-grade magical artifact.

Furthermore, Lu Chuan sealed a portion of his "Two Sleeves Green Serpent" sword energy, which he had unleashed with all his might, within the sword's body.

Whenever danger is encountered.

This sword energy is enough to instantly kill any Martial Spirit level expert, and can even severely injure an ordinary Martial King.

He can definitely save Zhao Lei's life in a critical moment.

Holding the small black sword, Zhao Lei was completely dumbfounded.

I was utterly shocked.

"Holy crap, Brother Chuan, how did you even manage to pull that sword out like that?"

"Why does this little sword feel so awesome?"

What did he just see?

It seemed like Brother Chuan simply flipped his palm over.

Suddenly, a small black sword appeared in his palm.

Why does it sound like a fantasy novel?

Moreover, although Zhao Lei didn't have much martial arts skill, he could still sense the terrifying aura emanating from the sword.

This is absolutely a treasure!

"This sword."

"Did Chairman Lei come to see me a while ago?"

"He gave all of this to me."

Lu Chuan smiled and waved his hand.

"Let's hurry up and go, don't miss tomorrow's bus."

Upon hearing that the sword came from Lei Qianjue, the president of the Martial Arts Association, Zhao Lei's previous doubts were instantly dispelled, and he was immediately moved to tears.

This is a treasure!

It must have been Chairman Lei who entrusted it to Brother Chuan to save his life.

But now Brother Chuan has given this treasure to himself.

"Brother Chuan, this little sword is too precious, I can't accept it."

Zhao Lei quickly tried to return the small sword to Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan kicked him in the butt in an annoyed tone and cursed.

"Get out of here."

"Just take it if I tell you to, don't embarrass yourself here."

Zhao Lei was even more moved.

"it is good."

After carefully putting the small sword away from his body, he bowed deeply to Lu Chuan and said...

"Brother Chuan, I can't thank you enough. Take care!"

Lu Chuan watched Zhao Lei's retreating figure with a calm expression.

Zhao Lei is one of the few true friends he has had since he transmigrated to this world.

At his lowest point.

When I was newly divorced, during my most disheartened time.

Zhao Lei has always been by her side.

Now that disaster is imminent, he should definitely lend a helping hand if he can.
