The Central Plains, with Henan as the core and the middle and lower reaches of the Yellow River as the hinterland, radiates outward layer by layer, and even extends overseas.

From ancient times to the present, the culture of the Central Plains has a long history, and the history can be traced back to the Neolithic period in China from about 6,000 BC to about 3,000 BC.

It can almost be said that the Central Plains is the cradle of Chinese civilization, and at this time, the Proud Palace is in the Central Plains where it is prosperous. It is not surprising that it can stand with the Northern Sword Divine Sword Gate and the Southern Spear Dragon Tiger Gate and stand proudly in the martial arts.

Proud Palace, located in the place opposite to Songshan Shaolin, occupies the right time and place, after years of laying the foundation, whether in the Central Plains, or in the entire martial arts, famous. All of a sudden, the reputation of the Proud Palace surpassed that of the martial arts faction Shaolin.

Since ancient times, the rivers and lakes have been dominated by Shaolin, Wudang, and Beggar Gang. However, with the gradual passage of time, Shaolin, Wudang, and the beggar gang were depressed, but they were proud of the "Qiankun Proud Trick" by the proud Nangong Palace, the "Falling Leaf Knife" by Liu Jinfeng of the Shendaomen, and the "Dragon and Tiger Gun" by Zhuge Qingfeng of the Dragon and Tiger Gate.

Especially when the Shaolin, Wudang, and beggar gangs were in decline, the rapid rise of the three sects of the Proud Palace, the Divine Sword Gate, and the Dragon and Tiger Gate overshadowed these gangs that had occupied prestige since ancient times.

At this time, in the Central Plains, if you talk about the sect, women and children all know the Proud Palace, not that Shaolin has faded out of the stage of history, but is covered by the light of the Proud Palace, the Divine Sword Gate, and the Dragon and Tiger Gate.

The palace of the Proud Palace is built like a royal palace, majestic and grand, and from a distance, it looks like a royal palace towering. On all sides are high walls, and the brick-red walls set off the wide high-rise buildings of the courtyard.

The Proud Palace, which can't be seen at a glance, is afraid that in the entire martial arts, it covers the largest area.

The big sect with such an area is of course inseparable from his founder, Nangong Ao. Nangong Ao is a very ambitious palace master, when he founded the Proud Palace, he had already announced to Wulin that he would become the leader of the Wulin Alliance and dominate the rivers and lakes.

As three years and five years have passed, although Nangong Ao has failed to become the leader of the martial arts alliance, what he said can be compared with the leader of the martial arts alliance. In fact, over the years, the rivers and lakes have been calm, and it seems that people have forgotten about the martial arts alliance leader.

However, in the past month, Nangong Ao, the palace master of the Proud Palace, suddenly posted a heroic post and wanted to hold a martial arts conference, with only one purpose - to elect a martial arts alliance leader. Especially after the first battle of Guqinju, he even declared to the outside world that there must be a respected person to serve as the leader of the martial arts alliance, so as to deal with disputes in the rivers and lakes.

These days, he sent out his disciples and distributed heroic posts. As we all know, there are four powerful disciples under the throne of Nangong Ao, the palace master of the Proud Palace, and I don't know their real names, but they are named after the eldest disciple Qinglong, the second disciple Baihu, the third disciple Vermilion Bird, and the fourth disciple Xuanwu.

In the process of sending the hero post, Nangong Ao did not let the other disciples go, but made a special trip to let the four disciples of Qinglong, Baihu, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu send it in person. It can be seen that he attaches great importance to the upcoming martial arts conference.

It can even be said that he is announcing to all martial arts people that he is interested in being the leader of the martial arts alliance, and he is determined to win.

Because for the Proud Palace, it has always been rare to send disciples like Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu to do tasks, and only if it is the most important task of the Proud Palace, he will send the four disciples under his seat.

It goes without saying that these four disciples are Nangong Ao's disciples, not only strong in martial arts, but also famous in the rivers and lakes.

There have long been rumors on the rivers and lakes that the four disciples of Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu have already obtained the Nangong Proud True Inheritance of Qiankun Pride, no matter who they are, they are at least a little afraid of Qiankun Pride. That is Nangong Ao's unique stunt, crisscrossing the rivers and lakes, rarely meeting opponents, and it is the foundation of his establishment of the Proud Palace.

In the main hall of the Proud Palace, the decoration is extremely golden, the thick pillars are sprayed with gold dust, and the wooden tables and chairs are all made of fine pear blossom wood and sandalwood. Above the lobby, there are large chairs carved with flying dragons and tigers, and the chairs are covered with mink, and the carvings are all carved with golden light and dazzling.

It looks like this, almost the same as the palace, this is Nangong Ao. A luxurious and flamboyant overlord, a careerist who wants to swallow thousands of miles of rivers and lakes.

He was dressed in a mink coat, with a full beard, a thick beard that covered his chin and jaw, a hooked nose, a pair of dark eyes, and a crown of hair, without the slightest vicissitudes of time, although he was over forty years old, he was in good spirits, and did not make people feel old at all.

He stood with his hands in his hands, his eyes blazing, staring at a picture of a galloping horse on the wall, blowing his beard gently, and his heart fluttered a little, but then he regained his composure. Because the footsteps of "Da Da" were already heard outside the main hall.

In a few moments, four neatly dressed young men in dark green clothes strode in, but the pattern on the chest of each shirt was completely different, and the pattern on the chest of the one walking in front was printed with a green dragon, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and some dark skin.

The second strong man had a white tiger printed on his chest, and his white face was like a scholar who was rich and rich, but there was a prohibitive masculinity between his eyebrows.

The third strong man had a red bird printed on his chest, but his figure was not as burly as the other three, but on the contrary, he looked much shorter, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, and he looked very strong, and his skin was a little red.

The last strong man has Xuanwu printed on his chest, it should be said that he is the tallest and most powerful person among the four, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a conical face, a thin face, revealing high cheekbones, but looking a little less domineering, it is a little inconsistent with his tall and mighty figure.

It goes without saying that these four young strong men are the disciples of Nangong Ao, the palace master of the Proud Palace-Qinglong, White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, and Xuanwu.

When they walked to the front of the main hall, the four of them all bowed their heads and said in unison: "Disciple to meet Master!"

Nangong Ao didn't turn around, still looking intently at the horse figure on the wall, but asked loudly in an unhurried tone: "Have all the hero posts been sent out?"

"Back to the master, after more than a month, the disciple was fortunate to live up to the master's life, and the heroic prayer posts were all sent out. It was the eldest disciple Qinglong who replied, and he looked up at Nangong Ao from time to time as he spoke.

Nangong Ao slowly turned around, and a pair of dark and sharp eyes shot at Qinglong, "Qinglong, to be honest, did Paiti encounter any difficulties? ”
