Chapter 1274

The next morning, Wu Li knocked on Gu Chen's door.

"Master Gu, the Lord has summoned you to the Divine Punishment Palace today. It's time for us to depart."

Not long after, the door opened. Gu Chen walked out in a long black robe, completely different from the white robe he wore yesterday.

The Xing County gave off a heavy and oppressive feeling. Gu Chen had no intention of becoming the only white color, so he did as the Romans do.

"What's wrong?"

As soon as Gu Chen walked out of the room, he noticed that one of Wu Li's sleeves was empty. One of her arms was missing. He couldn't help but feel surprised.

"I failed in the battle of the Ninth World, so I must accept the military's punishment."

Wu Li explained with a bitter smile. It was clear that the result of her report to the military yesterday was not ideal.

Wu Li was a beautiful woman, but she had lost an arm all of a sudden. Gu Chen gained a deeper understanding of the cruel system in Xing County.

"It's not bad that I only lost an arm. At least I'm alive. It's much better than the other generals. As long as I receive military rewards in the future, I can return to normal. "

Wu Li smiled calmly. Gu Chen could tell that she wasn't pretending to be strong. She was truly used to the cruelty in Xing County.

"Can you tell me about the military and the Ministry of Works that I mentioned yesterday?"

Gu Chen asked along the way to the Divine Punishment Palace with Wu Li.

After Feng Yaya's fiancé, Kong Sheng, appeared yesterday, Gu Chen wanted to ask about this. However, Wu Li was summoned away by the military as soon as she sent him to his residence, so he didn't have time to ask clearly.

"Of course, these things should be explained to Master Gu."

Wu Li saw that Gu Chen's attitude towards her seemed to be better today. She was happy and naturally told him everything.

"Master Gu, there are three organizations under Xing County. They are the military, the Ministry of Works, and the Ministry of Propaganda. The three organizations work together to protect Xing County's rule in many worlds. "

"The military, as its name suggests, is the military of Xing County. It's responsible for all matters related to war. The army is led by ten Tian Fa generals and is divided into various corps. They are usually out on expeditions. "

Wu Li's introduction to the military allowed Gu Chen to have a clearer understanding of the position he was about to assume as the General of Tian Fa.

The ten Tian Fa Great Generals actually controlled a huge army that was spread across hundreds of worlds in the Xing County. Their influence could be seen clearly!

"As for the Ministry of Works, Lord Gu has already met them yesterday. The Ministry of Works is mainly responsible for developing weapons, building fortifications, collecting resources, and various other internal matters. The head of the Ministry of Works is Lord Kong Sheng. Lord Gu has already met him yesterday."

Wu Li mentioned the green-haired youth she met yesterday.

"He's the leader of the entire Ministry of Works?" Gu Chen's expression froze when he heard this.

"That's right. The Ministry of Works is different from the Ministry of Military Affairs. It was founded by Master Kong. Master Kong is also the right-hand man of the Lord. He holds a high position in the entire Xing County."

Wu Li said in awe. Gu Chen finally understood how terrifying the power of that man from yesterday was.

Logically speaking, the military was in charge of the army, and Tian Fa's Great General was second only to Dao Monarch Xing.

However, there were a total of ten Tian Fa Great Generals. No matter how he thought about it, it was obvious that these ten people were restricting each other's power. In terms of influence, how could they compare to the head of the Ministry of Works, Kong Sheng?

"That crazy girl's fiancé is actually such a troublesome person."

Gu Chen frowned and muttered to himself. He remembered the reminder he received last night.

The person who reminded him last night was undoubtedly Feng Yaya. Gu Chen could even guess it.

Feng Yaya had intended to befriend him during the journey, but he had deliberately distanced himself from her.

Last night, she even risked being discovered to remind him to be careful today. Gu Chen knew that she did not do it purely for him.

She also had her own plans, and this plan was probably related to that Kong Sheng …

"Forget it. No matter what she plans to do, I'll just wait and see."

Gu Chen came to a conclusion in his heart. Wu Li continued to introduce the last of the three departments, the Shadow Department.

"The Shadow Department is also known as the shadow above the master. It can be considered an extremely mysterious organization. They are mainly responsible for gathering intelligence, surveillance, assassinations, and so on."

Fear appeared in Gu Chen's eyes when he heard this. Compared to the military and the Ministry of Works, the Shadow Department was hidden in the dark and was even more difficult to guard against.

With Wu Li's introduction, Gu Chen had a clear understanding of the organizations and how they operated in Xing County. To be honest, the power situation in Xing County was much simpler than he had imagined.

Perhaps it was because Xing County advocated killing. To make it easier to coordinate the entire army and increase the efficiency of giving orders, the Lord of Xing County set it up this way.

The entire Xing County was a huge war machine that operated at high efficiency at all times. How could a normal world fight against such a monster?

In just one day, Gu Chen understood Xing County and understood the difference between it and the Ninth Realm.

There was an insurmountable gap between them. Even if all the people of the Ninth Realm were soldiers, they could not fight against Xing County!

"Lord Gu, when I went to the military yesterday, I heard some news."

Wu Li started chatting with Gu Chen and said hesitantly.

"What's the matter?" Gu Chen asked calmly.

"I heard that Emperor Might from the Third Realm came recently. He seems to be here for you, Lord," Wu Li said solemnly.

"Emperor Might? What grudge does he have against me? "Gu Chen's eyes narrowed. The name sounded familiar.

"Emperor Might's son also participated in the trial of the Ninth Realm. Rumor has it that he died in your hands, Lord," Wu Li said carefully.

"Oh, I remember now. That's not a rumor. I did kill his son."

Gu Chen came to a sudden realization. He remembered the Outer-Realm Supreme-Being, Xiong Jun, who had died in his hands. When Xiong Jun fought with him, he was proud to be the son of Emperor Might and kept mentioning it, which was why Gu Chen found the name familiar.

"The geniuses from the Hundred Realms all died in the hands of Lord Gu, and the Lord intends to let Lord Gu take over the position of Heavenly Law General. It is said that this has caused the dissatisfaction of the Emperor of the Hundred Realms."

"This time, Emperor Might came to Xing County representing the will of the Hundred Emperors. So when Lord Gu accepts the appointment today, it is very likely that he will find fault."

Wu Li said nervously.

Gu Chen recalled Feng Yaya's reminder last night. She must have been referring to Emperor Might, right?

Come to think of it, Kong Sheng had also casually mentioned this yesterday.

The Emperor of the Hundred Realms did not want him to become the Heavenly Law General?

Gu Chen sneered in his heart. If he could, he would not have bothered to take over the position.

But he knew very well that, just as Feng Yaya reminded him last night, he had to take the position. If he could not, then Xing Dao Lord might be disappointed in him, and he would lose his life because of it.

Since he was under someone else's roof, he had to lower his head. Before he found a way to destroy Xing County, he had to get the position of Heavenly Law General!

"Emperor Might of the Third Realm is famous among the Emperor of the Hundred Realms. He controls the Origin of Force, and the Origin of Force is one of the hardest to cultivate among the 8,555 Great Paths."

"Rumor has it that Emperor Might's strength is qualified to be the Heavenly Law General. This time, he is coming for Lord Gu. Lord Gu, you must be very careful."
