Chapter 184
Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors
I decided not to move just yet.
‘If Mangnyang‘s death wasn’t due to sickness or overexertion, it must be due to external circumstances.’
In that case, it would be fine to act after some change had occurred. With that thought in mind, I resolved to make the best of life in the Thunder God Lineage, now that the Thunderbolt Three Saints had joined.
Once the Thunder God Lineage was freed from the martial world’s restrictions imposed by the Zheng Tian Alliance, it collapsed fiercely and began to redefine its relationships with nearby sects. First, it rekindled ties with the Six Great Families of Guanzhong and also gathered funds from wealthy merchants in the area. To be precise, it secured financial resources in exchange for a series of future collaborations according to the merchants’ needs.
Though Lee Kwang firmly established his position in Guanzhong, he did not recruit new disciples for the Thunder God Lineage. Several former disciples of the Azure Dragon Martial Arts School sought re-entry, but Lee Kwang rejected them all. It was wise to remain a small, elite group, especially considering the possibility of spies from other sects infiltrating their ranks.
I was formally introduced to Red Moon and Green Moon, members of the Thunderbolt Three Saints. After hearing the circumstances, Red Moon exclaimed in astonishment,
“You possess the hidden teachings of Zhang Sanfeng from the Wudang Sect? Show me!”
“Certainly.”
