I have the face of a great demon.

Although Zhou Tianyi and his group were somewhat wary of Tie Zhu's strength, the thought that this was their own sect's territory gave them confidence.

Even if this big guy is strong, can he be stronger than the elders and sect leader of the sect?

If a fight breaks out soon and alerts the elders, this big guy won't be able to escape.

The most important thing right now is to keep this big guy occupied and prevent him from getting away.

Zhou Tianyi then waved his hand, and everyone understood and rushed forward to surround Tie Zhu.

They threw punches and kicked, each using their best skills to try and subdue Tie Zhu.

These guys were also cunning. They were terrified of Tie Zhu's iron mace, so this time they simply didn't use any weapons and used only their fists and feet to deal with Tie Zhu.

In that case, the big guy probably wouldn't dare to take out his mace.

Sure enough, when Tie Zhu saw that these disciples were only using their fists and feet, he naturally knew what they were thinking. They simply wanted him to put down his iron mace.

He really didn't intend to use his iron mace. Now that we're all from the same sect, we need to be more restrained; it wouldn't be good if someone got hurt.

So he decided to respond to these arrogant fools with his fists and feet.

Although Zhou Tianyi and his group outnumbered each other, they were no match for Tie Zhu's formidable strength and agile skills.

"Ouch!" A disciple covered his nose and staggered back a few steps, blood flowing from between his fingers.

"Ah!" Another disciple was kicked by Tie Zhu and flew several meters away before landing heavily on the ground.

Tie Zhu's every punch and kick was precise and accurate, with just the right amount of power, enough to make his opponent feel pain without causing serious injury.

Since there were many opponents, Tie Zhu was bound to take some punches when they attacked him all at once.

However, he was thick-skinned and didn't care at all.

After a fight, Zhou Tianyi and the others quickly had their heads swollen like pigs' heads again.

Just as Zhou Tianyi had predicted, their fight quickly alerted the people in the sect.

The ones who arrived fastest were naturally the inner disciples who lived in the same large courtyard as them.

These inner disciples, seeing them fighting, showed no intention of helping; they all stood aside and watched the spectacle.

Especially Niu Wei, that guy actually brought over a small stool, sat there comfortably, cracking sunflower seeds while commenting and chattering on and on.

"Hey big guy, give it your all, smash that guy's nose into his face."

"Oh no, that kick won't do, kick him in the butt instead."

"Kick my groin! Kick my groin! Big guy, why are you so hesitant?"

Zhou Tianyi's face grew increasingly dark; it seemed like Niu Wei had become the big guy's cheerleader.

He couldn't help but roar, "Niu Wei, whose side are you on? Come and help us right now!"

Niu Wei answered very honestly: "Of course I'm on the big guy's side."

"You..." Zhou Tianyi was so angry that he almost ground his teeth to powder. "As a disciple of the Tianhe Sect, how can you stand on the side of outsiders?"

Niu Wei calmly retorted, "The big guy is also a disciple of a sect. Both sides are disciples of sects, I can stand on whichever side I want."

"No, this big guy is clearly at the Foundation Establishment stage. He's trying to infiltrate the miscellaneous disciples and cause trouble. He's a spy. Hurry up and help me capture him."

While cracking sunflower seeds, Niu Wei said leisurely, "No, I don't think the big guy is a spy. He's one of our own, right?"

As he spoke, he turned to ask the disciples who were watching, and they all nodded in agreement.

Some even chimed in, "That's right, the big guy looks more approachable, much better than these guys."

This infuriated Zhou Tianyi...

For some reason, these disciples didn't unite against him; they even came specifically to see him make a fool of himself.

Fortunately, the elders arrived shortly afterward.

A furious roar suddenly rang out from the sky: "Stop it, all of you!"

Upon hearing this, Tie Zhu kicked Lao Lu away, then retracted his foot and stood still.

Several of his underlings wanted to rush up and punch Tiezhu again, but when they saw Tiezhu's wide-open eyes, they were frightened and retreated.

The newcomer was Elder Niu of the Discipline Hall. His face was grim as he surveyed the crowd below and said in a deep voice:

"This is the sect, not a place for you to fight! Sect disciples are not allowed to fight privately. Don't you know the rules?"

Zhou Tianyi immediately stepped forward to defend himself, saying, "Elder Niu, this Liu Xingchen has concealed his cultivation level. He is clearly at the Foundation Establishment stage, but he pretends to have no cultivation and blends in with the miscellaneous disciples. He is clearly a spy."

But Elder Niu said, "If he's only at the Foundation Establishment stage, then he's not Liu Xingchen. This person is Tie Zhu."

"Tiezhu? Who's that?" Zhou Tianyi and his group looked at each other, their minds filled with questions.

The news that Liu Xingchen's identical brother had joined the sect spread quickly, and all the disciples in the sect knew about it, except for Zhou Tianyi and others.

Seeing the confused expressions on Zhou Tianyi and the others' faces, Elder Niu understood what was going on and waved his hand, saying:

"It seems you're unaware of this matter. In that case, we'll call it quits for this private fight. Niu Wei, you'd better explain this to Zhou Tianyi properly."

After saying that, Elder Niu left, leaving Zhou Tianyi looking at Niu Wei with a bewildered expression, waiting for his explanation.

Niu Wei stood up, patted the sunflower seed shells off his hands, cleared his throat, and began to explain to Zhou Tianyi and the others.

“This Tiezhu is Liu Xingchen’s brother. The two look exactly alike. To say he’s a spy is truly wronging an innocent man.”

What?

Zhou Tianyi and the others were dumbfounded, looking at Tie Zhu standing to the side.

This really isn't Liu Xingchen, the handyman disciple; it's someone else entirely. They've mistaken him for someone else.

"By the way, this Tie Zhu has the bloodline of the Witch Clan, so his combat power is astonishing, as you have probably all witnessed. Therefore, the Sect Master accepted him into the sect on the spot and made him an inner disciple."

Niu Wei's words shocked Zhou Tianyi once again. Tie Zhu was already an inner disciple, so all the beatings he had taken were for nothing, and he couldn't even ask the sect to help him anymore.

Zhou Tianyi's face was extremely ugly, but there was nothing he could do.

The matter was considered settled, and the disciples dispersed, discussing the farce that had just occurred in small groups.

Zhou Tianyi, however, was not so easily swayed by Niu Wei. He grabbed Niu Wei's sleeve, his voice filled with anger.

"When we started fighting just now, you already knew we had mistaken us for someone else. Why didn't you say so sooner?"

Niu Wei flung his hand away, a mocking smile on his face.

"Why should I have said so sooner? It's a rare treat to watch a good show; I couldn't be happier."

"You bastard!"

Zhou Tianyi gritted his teeth in anger, watching Niu Wei stride away with an air of indifference, and said to his henchmen:

"We can't let this loss go so easily. Niu Wei and Tie Zhu, I'll make them pay sooner or later."
