"I haven't been standing still all these years!"
Mie Guishen clenched his fists. He wasn't the kind of person who would be shaken by someone else's words.
"This isn't something I need to worry about. I imagine you and the Alliance Master will reach an outcome."
Gu Sheng had no intention of explaining further. Instead, he changed the subject. "I do have something that requires your help."
"I want you to help me collect several cultivation manuals. Your father gave you and your younger brother two secret manuals back then—the Supreme Art of Heaven and Earth, and the Crimson Canopy Four Suns Art."
Gu Sheng listed his requests one after another. Mie Guishen listened attentively. The first few cultivation arts did not elicit any reaction from him, but when Gu Sheng mentioned the Crimson Canopy Four Suns Art, his face filled with confusion.
Before Mie Cangqiong faked his death, he had left two secret manuals for his two sons. Although they were not divine-level martial arts passed down by gods, their power was in no way inferior.
Mie Guishen and Mie Cang Sheng, who still harbored thoughts of revenge at the time, devoted themselves to cultivation. Mie Guishen naturally practiced the Dark Sky Divine Art, while Mie Cang Sheng later abandoned his hatred and changed his name to Nian Cang Sheng, yet still possessed the cultivation of one of the era's top experts.
The martial art Nian Cang Sheng displayed in the original story was called the Earth-Splitting Python God Leg. Its power was not weak, but compared with the Dark Sky Divine Art in Mie Guishen's hands, it seemed far too lacking. Mie Cangqiong could not have left behind one weak and one strong secret manual, with the stronger one coincidentally ending up with his elder brother, Mie Guishen.
