The sky gradually darkened.
The setting sun cast its light down the right side of Tianya Tower, its dark silhouette slowly shifting with the light.
More and more people gathered around, countless gazes fixed upon this place.
Granny Zeng and her companion remained silent throughout. No matter what Yan Haochun or the others said, they gave only one answer: "Those not of the Heavenly Seal Sect are forbidden to enter."
As time dragged on, Zhou Rong began to lose patience.
"It is getting late. You two had best make your decision soon."
He stepped forward.
"With just the two of you facing so many people, you are nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot."
Granny Zeng gave a cold laugh but did not answer.
The pipe-smoking old man beside her smiled instead.
"It seems there will be no peaceful resolution today. Zhou Rong, shall we exchange a few moves?"
He took several steps forward. His pipe spun in his hand, trailing threads of force behind it. It was actually a weapon as well.
"I have long heard that your Zhou Family's Flying Star Vigor is immensely powerful. Today, I will see it for myself."
Among everyone present, Zhou Rong was the only Organ Refining martial artist, and also the strongest.
After reaching Organ Refining, a martial artist's Bone Jin became inexhaustible and unceasing. Their internal organs, bones, flesh, and skin became wholly without flaw, reaching the realm of internal and external cultivation as one.
Thus, Organ Refining was more a completion of Bone Forging. It allowed martial artists to turn the explosive force of Bone Jin into a regular method of attack.
Every gesture and movement carried Bone Jin.
Of course, some Organ Refining martial artists were old, their qi and blood depleted and withered beyond measure.
