Martial arts long journey

Chapter 167 The Land of Zhongzhou
Canglan County of the State of Qi is the southernmost county of the State of Qi. After leaving Canglan County in the south, it is no longer the boundary of the State of Qi.

Canglan County got its name from the vast, rippling river surrounded by the southern end, named Canglan River.

With the Canglan River as the dividing line, to the north is Canglan County of Qi State, and to the north is the land of Zhongzhou.

The land of Zhongzhou is the core location of the entire Central Plains, with rich waters and flat terrain.

There are four major countries within the borders of the Central Plains, Western Shu, Southern Tang, Northern Qi and Eastern Jin.

No matter who controls the land of Zhongzhou, they can use the status of Zhongzhou as a springboard to attack other countries in three directions.

Therefore, throughout history, the land of Zhongzhou has always been a battleground for military strategists.

However, because these four great powers are intertwined with each other, no one country can control the land of Zhongzhou.

Because there is no government power in charge, there is no order at all in the land of Zhongzhou, and it is always chaotic.

This chaos without the slightest order lasted until more than 30 years ago before it was alleviated.

In the land of Zhongzhou, there is a faction named Ling Family, which was originally just an ordinary martial arts family in Zhongzhou.

More than 80 years ago, the Ling family in Zhongzhou was almost cut off because of the lack of order in Zhongzhou. Only a child named Ling Chongxiao who was less than ten years old survived.

Logically speaking, in a chaotic area like Zhongzhou, where there is a mixture of good and evil, a child under ten years old would not be able to live for a long time.

In reality, Ling Chongxiao, the only surviving member of the Ling family, not only grew up through all kinds of hardships by virtue of his Ling family's family martial arts skills, but also possessed a good martial arts cultivation base.

Having experienced the tragic destruction of his family, he has seen Zhongzhou's disorderly and chaotic Ling Chongxiao since he was a child. Not only did he not fall into the chaotic relief of Zhongzhou, but he also determined to completely improve the entire Zhongzhou land in his lifetime.

As Ling Chongxiao grew older, his martial arts cultivation became more advanced and terrifying, and he was getting closer and closer to the goal he set when he was young.

Especially more than 30 years ago, Ling Chongxiao, who had successfully set foot in the world's top martial arts giant, directly suppressed the entire disorderly and chaotic land of Zhongzhou with his tyrannical and terrifying martial arts cultivation.

Afterwards, he personally established the iron-blooded giant city, recruited like-minded people, and used thunderous and swift iron-blooded means to force all the martial arts forces in the land of Zhongzhou to surrender, and established the first order in the history of the land of Zhongzhou.

Ling Chongxiao and the iron-blooded giant city ruled the entire land of Zhongzhou. The Eastern Jin Dynasty, Northern Qi Dynasty, Southern Tang Dynasty, and Western Shu Dynasty were naturally unwilling to see it.

However, after Ling Chongxiao fought fiercely against the martial arts giants of the official forces of the four major countries, he was unable to eradicate Ling Chongxiao's four major countries, so he had no choice but to hold his nose and agree with the established fact that the land of Zhongzhou had been unified.

Of course, if it was just blindly powerful, it would not be possible for the Iron-Blooded Giant City to survive for a long time in the land of Zhongzhou.

If the side of the couch does not allow others to snore and sleep, how can the four major countries tolerate a region that can attack their own borders at any time and be completely unified by outsiders?

However, Ling Chongxiao's methods are really extraordinary. He personally visited the emperors of the four major countries one by one.

He explained to the four major countries that the land of Zhongzhou would no longer be chaotic and the benefits of re-establishing order would finally convince him to convince the emperors of the four major countries.

There are many reasons for this, but the most important reason is that the four major countries have spent an untold amount of manpower and material resources in order to compete for the control of the land of Zhongzhou.

The investment in the land of Zhongzhou is like a huge bottomless pit, making the four major countries a little reluctant.

However, the four major countries dare not allow other countries to completely control Zhongzhou, a battleground for military strategists, so they have been struggling to support it.

Now that Ling Chongxiao has completely suppressed the land of Zhongzhou, and Ling Chongxiao has vowed that the land of Zhongzhou will remain neutral from now on, and will never seek refuge in any country.

Therefore, in a short period of time, the four major countries that had no choice but to win Ling Chongxiao signed a covenant with the Iron-Blooded Giant City, and agreed to the fact that Ling Chongxiao and the Iron-Blooded Giant City unified the land of Zhongzhou.

Since then, the land of Zhongzhou has become an absolutely neutral buffer between the four major countries.

And the iron-blooded giant city under Ling Chongxiao's command has also become a very special existence in the Jianghu martial arts, neither belonging to the official yamen, nor an authentic sectarian family.

As the power that controls Zhongzhou, a place that has been contested by military strategists since ancient times, the Iron-Blooded Giant City will definitely not allow the Iron-Blooded Giant City to fall to any country, and must maintain absolute neutrality.

When the covenant was just signed, the four major countries planned to send troops to the land of Zhongzhou.

However, how could Ling Chongxiao allow the painstaking efforts he established to be stained by other forces?Naturally, it was an extremely strong veto, so this iron-blooded giant city does not belong to the martial arts forces under the command of the four major countries.

But the iron-blooded giant city still controls the rules of the entire land of Zhongzhou, which is no different from the imperial government?So Jagged Giant City is not a pure martial arts sect family.

Under the rule of Ling Chongxiao and his iron-blooded giant city Na Enwei, with the passage of time, the forces of all parties in the land of Zhongzhou have completely stabilized.

The land of Zhongzhou, which was originally in chaos, has also re-established a strict order under the rule of law.

Coupled with the unimpeded terrain and environment, the commerce of the entire Zhongzhou is very developed, like a small and rich country.

It's just that the ruler of this country is not the official court, but the martial arts power of the iron-blooded giant city.

The most important thing in the end is that the land of Zhongzhou seems to be inclusive of all rivers and rivers, never caring about the origins of the people under its rule.

As long as you are not those members of the Demon Cult who are being targeted by the entire rivers and lakes martial arts, under the premise of abiding by the laws of the land of Zhongzhou, Iron Blood Giant City will not target you at all.

Of course, if you dare to cause chaos and harm in the land of Zhongzhou, the Iron Blood Guards under the Iron Giant City, who are like the imperial army, are definitely not vegetarians.

For Zhou Yan, who was hunted down by the Bajing Sword Sect, this land of Zhongzhou, where the three religions and nine streams are mixed, is undoubtedly the best place to go.

Therefore, after leaving the Ailao Mountains, Zhou Yan hurriedly drove for more than a month, and arrived in Canglan County, which is the closest to Zhongzhou in Qi State.

At this moment, Zhou Yan was standing on the edge of a stone bridge across the Canglan River. After crossing this stone bridge, the opposite side would no longer be the territory of Qi State.
