Chapter 161
Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors
About half a meal later, as the discussion with Dongbang Mu-gyeol was wrapping up, Lee Kwang appeared deep in thought about how to handle him. If he released him from the incapacitating seal, the possibility of Dongbang Mu-gyeol, who had made many enemies in the Jianghu, being killed was high. Yet, if he kept the seal, there was always the risk that Dongbang Mu-gyeol would betray them later and summon powerful figures from the White Lotus Sect.
Noticing Lee Kwang‘s troubled expression, Dongbang Mu-gyeol remarked,
“No matter how much you’ve captured me by force, do you think I would simply share this highly confidential information just to avoid torture?”
“What are you trying to say?”
“I haven’t been gathering information all these years just for the status of the White Lotus Sect. I’d say I’ve been pursuing something a bit more… entertaining…”
Dongbang Mu-gyeol continued,
“If your Thunder God Lineage can rise as a new pillar in the world of martial arts, I’d love to witness that. The world would become much more interesting.”
Lee Kwang narrowed his eyes.
