The strong wind whistled beside his ears, and the clouds shuttled past him. Niubi couldn't help but be filled with longing. When could he step on a flying sword like this and roam freely between heaven and earth?

After daydreaming for a moment, a glint of confidence suddenly flashed in Niubi's eyes. No matter how dangerous this trip was, he had to get through it. Only by surviving this crisis could he have the chance to be so carefree.

Thinking of this, Niubi looked down at his feet. He saw that the Tian Yun Mountain stretched for hundreds of miles. The mountains undulated, and there were strange rocks in the mountains. Sometimes, spirit beasts moved in the forest, bringing up bursts of roars.

Looking at the distant sky, a majestic and magnificent huge mountain stood proudly. The mountain was surrounded by immortal energy and auspicious clouds. That was where the inner courtyard of the Tian Yun Mountain was located...

The inner courtyard of the Tian Yun Sect was filled with abundant spiritual energy, lush vegetation, and all kinds of strange flowers and plants competed in beauty. The towering ancient trees rose from the ground. A peaceful and comfortable atmosphere pervaded everywhere.

The young man pointed with his fingers in the void, and the flying sword under his feet slowly landed on the square. The entire square was several miles wide, paved with jade, surrounded by golden pillars, and surrounded by pavilions and buildings. It was extremely grand.

"Junior Brother Niubi, wait for a moment. I'll go report to the Great Elder!" The man stared at Niubi indifferently. Without waiting for Niubi's reply, he quickly walked towards the outside of the square.

Niubi felt bored. It was said that immortal cultivators had removed all mundane thoughts. It seemed to be true. These immortal cultivators were colder one by one. He didn't know whether it was because his cultivation was not high enough or he was too vulgar. In short, he didn't like their way of doing things very much.

While thinking, Niubi suddenly saw several cultivators wearing the Tian Yun Sect's uniforms walking towards him. The one leading was Lu Zhong, who had a smiling face.

Niubi's heart tightened and couldn't help but curse. This guy Lu Zhong was really like a ghost. As long as this guy wasn't eliminated one day, he would be like a fierce dog, constantly biting him.

"Junior Brother Niubi, you're finally here. Come, come, let me introduce you. These are my fellow senior brothers and sisters." While speaking, Lu Zhong and the others had already arrived in front of Niubi.

Niubi sized up Lu Zhong a few times. He didn't know what trick Lu Zhong was going to play, but he still steadied his mind, stepped forward, bowed to everyone, and said.

"Hello, senior brothers and sisters. I'm Junior Brother Niubi, a disciple of the."

"Humph!" Several people snorted coldly and ignored him. Instead, they raised their heads arrogantly and glanced at Niubi contemptuously.

"Junior Brother Lu, is this the so-called brother of yours?" A burly young man said coldly. The look in his eyes towards Lu Zhong seemed to have an extra hint of disdain.

"Yes. It's simply a waste of my time!" A charming young girl looked at Lu Zhong boredly, as if waiting for him to give her an explanation.

Niubi remained silent and sized up several people. He secretly thought that this should not be Lu Zhong's character. Since he was a child, he would protect himself and definitely would not do such a self-humiliating thing.

"Senior Brother Liu, Senior Sister Lu, you might have misunderstood. When I was young, because I had no parents, I was adopted by the Chen family as a book boy. And Niubi was my young master. Although we were master and servant at that time, whenever I was in a bad mood, he would imitate some small animals to make me happy. So..."

Lu Zhong's expression was dim, as if recalling his childhood memories. Several people felt great sympathy. But when the young girl heard that Niubi could imitate small animals, her eyes suddenly lit up and said to Niubi.

"Unexpectedly, Junior Brother Niubi has such a wonderful skill. What can Junior Brother Niubi imitate?" The young girl suddenly became interested in Niubi, and her small face was full of excitement.

Niubi was slightly angry in his heart and coldly glanced at Lu Zhong, but found that the other party didn't even look at him.

"Boy, my junior sister is talking to you!"

Seeing that Niubi didn't answer, Senior Brother Liu was immediately furious. His gaze was like lightning, shooting straight at Niubi. Niubi felt a chill in his body, but he stood upright, staring at the other party firmly without showing the slightest fear.

"Boy, if you are willing to kneel down now and imitate a dog barking three times, I will spare your life. Otherwise, I will break your dog legs today and make you a dog for the rest of your life!" Senior Brother Liu's voice was vicious. Clearly, he had been consumed by rage and lost his reason.

Lu Zhong appeared panicked beside him, but the young girl's face was calm and she said in a low voice, "Junior Brother Lu, this matter concerns the face of our inner courtyard. You'd better not interfere. How dare a disciple of the be so rampant? How can we face other fellow disciples in the future!"

Several fellow disciples on the side also watched everything in front of them with interest and sometimes fanned the flames. But no one noticed the hint of a triumphant smile that flashed in Lu Zhong's eyes.

Niubi stood upright, and the anger in his heart had already spread throughout his body. An uncontrollable killing intent burned fiercely within him like a flame.

Niubi had his bottom line. He could endure the insults and fights on ordinary days. But if he was asked to act like a dog and beg for mercy, he would rather die than do it. Because this had touched his bottom line.

"I won't imitate. What can you do? If you kill me today, that's fine. But if you can't kill me, one day I will tear you all to pieces and crush your bones to ashes." Niubi's words were like a roar from hell. A chill instantly spread throughout everyone's body.

Niubi's gaze swept over everyone one by one and finally stopped on Lu Zhong. His sharp eyes seemed to be about to tear Lu Zhong apart. Lu Zhong involuntarily shivered, but the thought of killing Niubi in his heart became even stronger.

"Since you want to die, then I'll fulfill your wish!" Senior Brother Liu smiled grimly. He pinched the magic formula with one hand, and a flame instantly appeared on both palms. The scorching temperature made the air around crackle.

Niubi was not slow either. Although the spiritual energy was scarce, with a movement of his spiritual sense, a thin layer of spiritual energy appeared in front of him.

"Hehe, it's quite lively!" Suddenly, a peaceful voice came. Everyone felt like being struck by lightning and hurriedly turned to look. They saw an old man in a white shirt with white eyebrows and a kind face walking towards them with a smile.

"Greetings, Third Uncle!" Senior Brother Liu hurriedly dispersed the flame in his hand, turned and saluted, and the others also hurriedly and respectfully saluted the old man.

"Good!" The old man nodded with a smile, but his gaze intentionally or unintentionally swept over Niubi.

"You must be Niubi. Senior Brother has told me about you. Follow me!" After saying that, the old man turned and left, and Niubi shouted loudly: "Obey the decree of the Third Elder!" and quickly followed.

"Damn it. You're lucky this time, kid!" Looking at Niubi's back, Senior Brother Liu angrily cursed in a low voice and then turned and left. The others also felt bored and left one after another.

But when everyone had left, Lu Zhong, who had been standing in the same place, had a fierce glint in his eyes and said venomously: "Kid, let's see how long your good luck lasts. Since you've come to the inner courtyard, I will make sure you can't live or die..."
