Jianchang Province, Qingping Prefecture, Hero Tower.
Standing in the center of the vast Qingping Prefecture, the square nine-layered Hero Tower is the symbol of both Qingping Prefecture and Jianchang Province, for it represents the Hero's Association.
Of the forty-nine provinces of Great Zhou, the martial arts culture of Jianchang doesn't thrive, yet it is the place most favored by ordinary people for residence.
This is because there isn't a single bandit to be found here; even within the prefecture's administration, there is not a single Jianghu gang. Martial artists wanting to earn money can only do so at places like escort agencies and martial arts schools.
Similarly, no demonic martial artists appear here; even villains and miscreants would detour around Jianchang Province. This place is even more peaceful than the Henan Province, where Shaolin Temple is located, because this is where the Hero's Association, the gathering of righteous figures across the land, resides.
