The two sized each other up. The old eunuch was full of vigilance, but Qi Shan showed some admiration: "There have always been rumors in the Jianghu that the Imperial Palace must be hiding many experts. I used to come and go freely in the palace and investigated several times, but I didn't find anyone worth noting. Now, one has finally jumped out. The so-called 'great hermits hide in the court' – the ancients did not deceive me!"

The old eunuch's eyes were somewhat gloomy, and his face was devoid of expression.

"This old one is getting old after all, but your Excellency's skill is amazing. May I ask your origins?"

"Why bother asking? What good will it do to ask?"

Qi Shan shook his head: "You just want to spout some Confucian theories about rulers, ministers, fathers, and sons. There's no need for that here, is there!"

The old eunuch smiled coldly: "Since you know, why do you rely on your martial arts prowess to trespass into the forbidden palace twice and thrice, treating my imperial court as nothing, arbitrarily peeking at the library's collection, and disregarding the laws of the Great Song Dynasty? Don't you know about the proper order of things, the relationship between ruler and subject, father and son?"

Qi Shan spread out his palm: "See? I knew you'd say that!"

"Heaven, earth, sovereign, parents, and teachers are the ultimate truths of the world. Even an eunuch like me understands the hierarchy between superiors and inferiors. You and others rely on your martial arts, yet you dare to disregard His Majesty. How arrogant, how lawless! Are you not afraid of facing your ancestors after death?"

Qi Shan shook his head: "I really don't understand your logic. Since you already know that my martial arts are strong, and with your martial arts, you can't stop me at all, aren't you afraid that I might suddenly feel like taking the Zhao family emperor's head?"

The old eunuch was shocked, then enraged: "You can actually say such a thing! You are indeed a rebel! Even if it costs me my old life today, even if I have to alarm the Emperor, I will capture you, this rebel, and let you know what the majesty of the imperial family is!"

"Guards!"

The old eunuch suddenly shouted, his voice carrying far and wide, like rolling thunder.

Qi Shan watched with interest, without any intention of stopping him.

This shout indeed attracted a large number of guards. Dense footsteps moved towards the direction of the library, and shouts of reprimand could be heard incessantly.

"Who dares to make noise in the Imperial Palace...?"

A group of people poured into the plaza in front of the library. The leading guard commander had only just said a sentence when he disappeared.

Along with him, a large number of guards who had rushed in also disappeared.

The old eunuch was greatly shocked. More than a hundred guards disappeared before his eyes. Such a bizarre situation completely baffled him.

Previously, he could still faintly hear the chaotic footsteps, but now they gradually disappeared. The surroundings were incomparably quiet, as if only the two of them were left in the entire world.

The old eunuch waited for a while, then suddenly turned his head and shouted sharply: "You evil villain, what exactly did you do?"

"Why blame me? Keep calling people! This is nothing! At most a few hundred people. The entire Imperial Palace has 3,000 imperial guards!" Qi Shan spread out his palms and said easily.

"You! It really was you..." The old eunuch trembled all over.

Qi Shan became a little impatient with these repetitive words.

"Since you've exhausted your tricks, then it's my turn!"

Qi Shan slowly opened his right palm and gently grabbed towards the old eunuch.

A strong force spread out from the center of his palm, instantly suppressing the entire plaza.

Qi Shan clearly only made one move, but in the eyes of the old eunuch, it felt more terrifying than any attack in the world.

The old eunuch only felt that he had become a leaking ball, the bones of his body cracking, and the blood vessels bursting outwards.

His essence, energy, and spirit were all swept away and absorbed by the invisible black gas.

Qi Shan suddenly clenched his fist, and the black gas was instantly withdrawn. The old eunuch, who had been so vigorous before, had now become a dried corpse.

The wide robe fell on his body, looking so ridiculous. His body swayed a few times before falling to the ground.

At the same time, on the beam of the imperial kitchen, Hong Qigong was leisurely drinking his little wine, holding a large chicken in his hand.

Don't underestimate the simple ingredients. These are all meticulously prepared by the imperial chefs. There are more than 20 kinds of side dishes alone.

He had been staring at the chef making this chicken for a long time, and as soon as it was stewed, he couldn't wait to eat it.

Although Hong Qigong was in the martial world, he was bound by etiquette. Even though he was at the bottom of society, he did not forget his country. It was because of his ideals that the Beggar Clan of later generations would fight with all their strength to help Guo Jing and Huang Rong defend Xiangyang.

He suddenly felt the aura fluctuating and looked in one direction with some shock, muttering to himself: "What's going on? What's going on? What is this so terrifying?"

He wanted to investigate, but the fat chicken in his hand was too tempting. After struggling for a long time, he decided to let it go. Anyway, this is the Imperial Palace, and someone will naturally investigate any situation. He, an old beggar, will not get involved in this kind of thing.

Fortunately, he didn't go, otherwise Qi Shan's little universe would have had another test subject.

— — — —

Time flew by for more than a hundred years. The Condor Heroes ended, crossed the Return of the Condor Heroes storyline, and directly ushered in the era of Heaven Sword and Dragon Sabre.

For so many years, Qi Shan had been focusing on developing his little universe. The space city had gradually connected into one piece from the original one.

The total area had unknowingly become the size of several Shandong provinces.

Over the years, the intake of seawater had never stopped. The constant absorption of large amounts of material had caused the sea level to drop by more than a meter.

Correspondingly, the scientists and social system personally cultivated by Qi Shan had gradually expanded from the initial hundreds of people to several million.

To the outside martial world, Tianxia Manor had become a behemoth. No one knew how much power it hid behind it, and Laiwu City had become a neutral zone in the martial world.

For almost 100 years, no one dared to act in Laiwu City. No matter who it was, no matter what the reason, both parties would be held accountable.

The light would be the abolition of martial arts, and the heavy would be direct disappearance from the world.

During this period, it was not that righteous sects who wanted to uphold justice did not come to make trouble. Once they came, no matter how many people came, the ending had never changed.

As the rules of Tianxia Manor gradually spread, one lesson after another gradually became the rules.

People in the martial world no longer resisted, but gradually admired Tianxia Manor, and even changed the Martial Arts Tournament to be held in Tianxia Manor.

The technology tree climbed well. With the selfless dedication of the reincarnators, Qi Shan was very satisfied with the progress.

Judging from the current manufacturing technology, it is completely possible to enter the space colonization era, but there are still some shortcomings in terms of weapons.

Qi Shan didn't care. Civilization development and technological progress all take time. It's only been more than 100 years. It's still early.
