Chapter 467: The Ministry of Commerce and Industry
The moment the formation was formed, boom, a pressure as huge as a mountain radiated out from the area where the formation was located.
There were only waves of beast roars heard in all directions, and even those ferocious beasts felt the danger, and let out waves of uneasy roars, and retreated uneasily one by one.
But just for a moment, bang, an earth lizard like a small mountain peak immediately showed a fierce look, rose into the air, and rushed toward a disciple of a noble family at the edge of the magic circle.
However, as soon as the earth lizard soared into the air and rushed to the edge of the formation, a flying sword fell from the sky. With a scoff, it cut off the head of the earth lizard in the second level of Yin Earth Realm with just one strike.
, without its head, the earth lizard's headless body fell straight from the air like a rotten tree.
"Thousands of swords and evil-killing formations on the mountains, rivers and land!"
Chen Shaojun murmured to himself, looking at this scene, he revealed the origin of the formation in one sentence.
This is an extremely powerful ancient formation. Its biggest feature is that it can integrate the formation with the surrounding mountains, rivers and land, and draw strength from it. It can also mobilize the power of the laws of heaven and earth, giving each flying sword a powerful power.
Power, those flying swords in the sky may seem small, but the power contained in them is as heavy as a mountain peak. They are real "epee swords".
However, setting up this grand formation is very time-consuming. First, it is necessary to explore the surrounding terrain, determine the direction of the earth veins, and key acupoints. Secondly, it will take a lot of time to combine the grand formation with the flying sword.
Although once deployed, it is powerful and indestructible, the disadvantage of this formation is that it is extremely susceptible to external interference during the deployment process. If there is a fluctuation, it is easy for the formation to deviate and the deployment to fail.
This is the first time that Chen Shaojun has seen someone deploying formations in this modular way, integrating the formation, talismans, Taoist and other processes into one, and being able to successfully deploy formations in just a few breaths.
And the moment the formation was set up, even Chen Shaojun could feel that the area where the steel formation was located was overwhelming and contained unimaginable power.
"Who is this person? He is so accomplished in formations!"
Chen Shaojun said secretly in his heart.
At this moment, he suddenly understood that the reason why the second prince hid and did not appear was probably not because of the defenders, but precisely because of the powerful existence hidden deep in the dark clouds.
"To be able to make the Second Prince feel so fearful, this person's strength is probably at least close to the fourth level of the Sun Realm!"
Chen Shaojun said secretly in his heart.
This thought passed through his mind, and Chen Shaojun was immediately excited. With this kind of person around, the situation of Chen Shaojun and others immediately improved a lot. At least Chen Shaojun and the ancient elves were no longer alone, unable to do anything.
"With this person here, even if we can't defeat the Third Prince, we can at least hold him back!"
Chen Shaojun secretly said, but because of this, he became more and more curious. The Earth Dragon Palace is mainly for warriors from the Earth Realm to take risks. Normally, people of this level would never appear here.
Soon after, boom boom, two sharp roars came from the sky. Chen Shaojun looked up and saw two black formation flags more than ten meters long falling from the sky, like meteorites from the sky, landing in the center of the formation.
, the wind howled, the air current surged, and amidst the billowing smoke and dust, the two huge formation flags unfolded, and two identical large characters appeared on the black flags.
"work!"
"This is - Ministry of Industry"
In the dark, a flash of light flashed through his mind. Chen Shaojun trembled all over and suddenly opened his eyes. At this moment, he seemed to have thought of something.
Great Ministry of Commerce and Industry!
Among the six ministries, the most mysterious department is the military, punishment, official, ritual, household, and work. Among all the six ministries, the military ministry has the highest power. The eight imperial marshals are powerful in the world. They hold great power and stamp their feet.
, everyone was shocked, and the Ministry of Industry was ranked the weakest, even the Ministry of Household Affairs had more real power than the Ministry of Industry.
Even if the Ministry of Household Affairs is entirely controlled by civilian officials, it is closely related to hundreds of millions of people in the world, and at least it has the power to control farmland and water conservancy, as well as household registration changes and changes.
In contrast, the Ministry of Works is nominally in charge of construction projects, but in fact, no one knows what they do.
The palaces of princes and ministers had been cast and formed seven or eight hundred years ago. In fact, there were not many projects that required the Ministry of Works to build them. Moreover, compared with the number of officials in other ministries, the number of people in the Ministry of Works was also the smallest. However, despite this,
, In fact, in the Great Shang Capital, both the children of aristocratic families and the princes and nobles kept a respectful distance from the Ministry of Industry and did not dare to provoke it easily.
Chen Shaojun grew up in the capital, but even he had heard a saying circulated in the capital, "Don't provoke the Ministry of Commerce and Industry to provoke anyone!"
The reason why this situation occurs is because there is a saying among the great merchants and capitals that the so-called Ministry of Industry is actually divided into two parts: light and dark. They wear court clothes and official titles every day, and eat plain meals at court meetings, turning a blind eye.
With one eye, all government affairs are just um and um, and they are just a shell put on by the Ministry of Industry to deal with outsiders.
In addition to these officials on the surface, the Ministry of Industry actually has a secret "undercover". This was the real Ministry of Works when the Shang Dynasty was established eight hundred years ago. Rumor has it that the undercover is good at all kinds of powerful mechanisms and props.
, as well as the powerful and ancient Taoist secrets. According to rumors, they can even detain ghosts and gods and use them as slaves to build engineering projects.
——It is rumored that eight hundred years ago, when the Great Shang Dynasty was established, it was the Ministry of Industry that enslaved ninety-nine powerful gods and demons and built the current capital and the Great Shang Palace, including the underground prohibitions and magic circles left by the Ministry of Industry.
Down.
Moreover, the Ministry of Industry has always been very secretive about its actions. When it was established, they destroyed almost all ANBU information. Although Chen Shaojun grew up in the capital, he had only heard of the name of ANBU and had never actually met an ANBU person.
"Is it really them?"
At this moment, Chen Shaojun's heart was filled with waves.
"Hmph, I want to see how many people your Ministry of Industry's magic circle can protect!"
At this moment, the third prince's voice sounded again, revealing the other party's identity with one word.
"!!!"
Chen Shaojun was shocked in his heart, and suddenly he no longer had any doubts:
"It's indeed them!"
Ancient evil thoughts took over the third prince's body and acquired all his memories.
Chen Shaojun may have never come into contact with the "Anbu" of the Ministry of Industry, nor does he know these people, but the third prince is different, he definitely knows.
The identities of these people have been revealed.
Chen Shaojun did not expect that at such a critical moment, someone from the "Anbu" would appear. However, before he had time to think about it, changes occurred again in the distance, the mist surged in the sky, and with that unruly and sinister voice, the third prince finally emerged from the void.
The figure is revealed.
It was still wearing the rotten dragon robe that seemed to have been dug out of a cemetery, and its decayed pale handsome face and hollow eyes looked even more sinister and terrifying.
But the most shocking and deeply fearful thing is the waves of evil energy on its body. The billowing green smoke spits out from the orifices of its body like giant dragons.
Compared with when they met at the core barrier, the third prince's aura seemed even more terrifying.
If at the beginning, Chen Shaojun only felt that he was at the beginning of the Heavenly Vein, then after devouring a large number of royal family members, as well as the flesh, blood, essence and essence of noble children, its strength has become significantly stronger.
The aura has at least climbed to the eighth or ninth level of the realm of the sky.
Under the support of the huge evil energy, even its body has risen slightly, giving people a burly feeling.
"Go ahead and kill them all!"
The third prince's voice was high and low, resounding throughout the world.
The next moment, in the eyes of Chen Shaojun and others, they saw it spread its arms, waved forward, and roared. The roars were earth-shattering, and all the ancient ferocious beasts that had been driven back by instinct revealed their ferocious canes.
The teeth roared head by head, looking like crazy, and flew towards the large array composed of steel modules from all directions.
At the same time, the evil creature in the air was glowing green, roaring as well, and rushed towards the formation.
Clang, clang, clang, hundreds of flying swords in the sky were running at the same time, turning into a huge meat grinder, chopping down continuously, accompanied by dense rain-like crashing sounds, all the ancient ferocious beasts seemed to have hit a copper wall.
They were cut in half one after another and fell from the sky.
Occasionally, some powerful ferocious beasts had rough skin and thick flesh, and were stronger than gold and steel. They could withstand the blows of heavy swords, but soon seven or eight long swords fell from the air, and these ferocious beasts did not last long before being blocked on the spot.
kill.
Slightly more powerful were the ugly creatures made of evil spirits. Even though these evil creatures rushed to attack like crazy, they still could not break through the interception of the flying swords and the ground magic circle. One after another, the evil creatures were cut to pieces and fell from the sky.
.
Despite the huge loss, the third prince's eyes were cold and unmoved.
These creatures are just puppets controlled by it. No matter how many die, there will be no heartache at all.
"Come on! Let me see which one is more powerful, the magic formation of your Great Shang Dynasty's Ministry of Industry, or I am more powerful! Let's see which one of the puppets I control is killed first, or which one of your formations breaks first!"
The third prince's indifferent voice resounded through the world like thunder. The next moment, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and the world immediately changed.
Just as those ancient ferocious beasts and evil creatures rushed out, the billowing evil energy in the world seemed to come to life. Oops, only to hear waves of ferocious roars, and the next moment, the billowing evil energy turned into thousands of
The evil dragons, roaring like they were alive, crashed into the steel formation at lightning speeds.
Boom, the originally formless and insubstantial mist hit the steel formation, but it made a deafening roar of steel. It seemed that each of those attacks had a powerful force. Obviously, the third prince mobilized all his strength to attack the big formation.
Formation, under the attack of the violent wind and rain, the originally strong and indestructible steel formation immediately began to shake, as if it would be unable to resist at any time and be overturned.
