"Giddyup…"
The horse galloped on the horse path of the thousand-foot cliff.
On the vast grassland, the galloping horses roared.
After walking through the canyon, climbing the mountain peak, and passing through the green forest path, it only took three days. They traveled during the day and covered the sky and the ground at night. How big was the Divine Great Land?
Walking, climbing, and passing through, he only saw a small piece of heaven and earth.
After three days, Qin Shuang's group had only traveled fifty to sixty miles. Qin Shuang only wanted to summarize what she saw and heard along the way in two sentences: First, the Divine Great Land was vast and sparsely populated. The second sentence was that the World Association was located within a radius of 50 to 60 miles, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment. It was not an exaggeration to say that it was a peaceful and prosperous era.
This was closely related to Xiong Ba's way of governing the country.
Xiong Ba was ruthless enough. Those who obeyed him would prosper and those who resisted him would die. Those who did not obey him would only die.
This was true, but after conquering the corresponding territory, not only did Xiong Ba not adopt a plan to use violence to govern the country, but he also developed irrigation works, developed fertile land, stabilized the foundation, and sought development like the wise kings in history.
As the saying went, there were policies above and countermeasures below.
Even though Xiong Ba's methods of governing the country were good, they were not implemented. Only the Heaven Mountain where the headquarters of the World Association was located still looked like it was still there.
This was also one of the main reasons why Godless would slowly swallow up the World Association after Xiong Ba was countered by Nie Feng and Bu Jingyun.
Actually, Xiong Ba wasn't wrong. If one had to say where he was wrong, it was: "Other than himself, Xiong Ba doesn't trust anyone else. As a result, he doesn't have any capable civil officials or generals to assist him.”
This was also the reason why it was easy to conquer a country, but difficult to sit on it.
……
This was a basin. As long as they passed through it, they would reach Liang City after another ten miles.
Liang City was the closest city to the World Conference. It originated before the Qin Dynasty and had been preserved for thousands of years.
From the known map, Qin Shuang secretly guessed,""The Divine Great Land is very similar to the Kingdom of Hua Xia on Earth in his memory.”
Using this as a standard, Liang Chengbi was like Yan Jing (Jing City), while the World Association was located in Liao Province (Liao Ning). Outside of it was the boundless snow mountain, Tian Shan (Ji Lin and Hei Long Jiang). Outside of Yan Jing was the vast grassland (Inner Mongolia), and around it was Fengtian Royal City.
This was the so-called North Region of Xiongba.
Up until now, other than the headquarters of the World Association, Xiong Ba had only conquered Liang City.
Of course, there were quite a few martial arts sects of various sizes.
There were two main reasons why Xiong Ba didn't use Liang City as his capital: Firstly, Xiongba needed time to digest and stabilize the territory he had conquered. Secondly, Xiong Ba was aiming for the Divine Great Land, so the Dragon City in the East Continent (located in Henan Province) was his ultimate goal.
After setting up camp, Xue Antian immediately ordered his subordinates to prepare food. Some went hunting, some collected dry firewood, some were responsible for cooking, and some were responsible for feeding the horses…In short, Qin Shuang did not have to worry about all the daily chores.
A three-foot-long breeze, a pot of wine, and two dishes to go with the wine. During the day, he would walk the world with his sword and at night, he would be at ease. This was the Jianghu.
There was a bonfire and a fat elk. Everyone sat in a circle and chatted. They talked and laughed. This was also Jianghu.
"Come sit here. How about we try the Blood-Drinking Skeleton's cooking today?”
As he spoke, Qin Shuang had already taken large strides and sat beside the bonfire.
At the same time, other than a few attendants who were in charge of standing guard, the rest of the people sat around Qin Shuang.
At first, everyone, including Xue Antian, was extremely polite to Qin Shuang. They were afraid that Qin Shuang would be unhappy and suffer.
However, after a few days of interaction, everyone realized this: "Not only did Qin Shuang eat and live with them, but she also didn't have much of a pampered temperament. Instead, she was polite and polite.”
Gradually, Qin Shuang used her actions to enter the hearts of everyone present.
"Young Master Shuang, even though I, Xue Antian, am not good at martial arts, my barbeque skills are definitely not inferior to the famous chefs in the World Association.”
As soon as Xue Antian finished speaking, Qin Shuang chimed in,""I'm not bragging. The one flying in the sky is called a pegasus. We'll see how good his craftsmanship is later.”
As soon as Qin Shuang finished speaking, someone chimed in,"Hey, why is there a herd of wild cows flying over there?”
"Where?"
"Oh? He's flying so high…"
A moment later, a burst of laughter ended the joke.
After Xue Antian sat down beside her, Qin Shuang said,""Boss Xue, I heard that the Divine Great Land is divided into four continents. Have you been to any of them? Or have you heard of some strange martial arts?”
"Boss Xue, tell us about it.”Someone echoed.
"Alright, then I'll tell you." Xue Antian agreed readily as he recalled,""There are four continents in the Divine Great Land, and I've never left the North Continent. In the North Region, other than our World Association, there are a few other mysterious areas: The first one, Sword Sect…"
When Xue Antian said this, someone could not help but interrupt,""Boss Xue, the Sword Sect you're talking about can't be the Sword Saint Dugu Jian who dominated the martial world twenty years ago, right?”
"Bullshit! They were simply unrelated. The Swordsmanship Sect was extremely mysterious. Ever since the Sect Leader, Jian Hui, mysteriously disappeared, only his disciple, Wu Ming, had left behind the title of Martial Arts Legend. Other than Sword Sect, there was also the solo swordsman, Sword Emperor. However, he was no different from Jian Hui and had also mysteriously disappeared.”At this point, Xue Antian first took a sip of wine before adding,""According to rumors, there is a big snow mountain in the extreme north, also known as the 'Sky Mountain'. There are two big sects there, the' Snow Mountain Sword Sect 'and the' Sky Mountain Sword Sect'. Their disciples have exquisite sword skills, but they rarely enter the mortal world, so not many people know about them.”
When she heard Xue Antian mention the Snow Mountain Sword Sect and the Sky Mountain Sword Sect, two martial arts TV series spontaneously appeared in Qin Shuang's mind: The first is to be a chivalrous man, and the second is to send seven swords down the Tianshan Mountain.
For some reason, Qin Shuang had a hunch that the two sword sects Xue Antian mentioned were referring to these two TV series.
After regaining clarity, Qin Shuang took the initiative to ask again,""Boss Xue, in terms of cities, other than Liang City, what other cities are there in the North Region?”
"Hmm? There was also Peerless City and Fengtian Royal City that was under the jurisdiction of Dragon City's Martial Arts Supreme. The rest were counties and villages of different sizes.”
"Are there any famous martial arts sects outside the North Region?”
"Young Master Shuang, I'm not too sure about this, but I've heard people mention that the Tyrant Emperor Art of the Dragon Clan, the supreme martial arts master of Dragon City, is extremely powerful. In addition, when I was wandering in Jianghu in my early years, I accidentally saw a strange martial art. The practitioner could actually move the opponent's strength and sword qi out of thin air.”
"Teleporting strength and sword qi? Could it be that he was moving flowers and catching jade? Or Star Transposition? Or the Heaven and Earth Great Shift?"
At this moment, Qin Shuang's heart was filled with waves."This world is really not simple. There are actually many unknown martial arts sects hidden in it.”
Not to mention the information Xue Antian had mentioned, just the Wujue Divine Palace, the Blackmetal Sect, Luo City, and the Gate of Heaven in Qin Shuang's memory were enough to prove this point.
