Ambition Revealed

The emergence of the Thunder Nether Principality was only the beginning.

White Flame City was successfully renamed Thunder Nether City, becoming the royal city of the Thunder Nether Principality. Centered around Thunder Nether City, they demanded three surrounding cities and several towns from the Star Luo Empire, expanding their territory considerably.

Among the military authority handed over by the Nether Duke, some soldiers and generals were unwilling to become part of the Star Luo Empire's army.

They were loyal to the Star Luo Empire, yet did not recognize the Xu Family as the legitimate Star Luo Imperial Family. However, they were unwilling to betray the empire and join the White Tiger Kingdom. Becoming soldiers under the Nether Duke was an excellent choice for them.

Although the Nether Duke had now become the ruler of the Thunder Nether Principality, the Thunder Nether Principality belonged to the Star Luo Empire and remained part of the empire. Joining the Thunder Nether Principality did not count as betraying the empire.

Even the Star Luo Emperor saw it that way, which was why he could accept cities as the condition.

The Thunder Nether Principality was part of the Star Luo Empire. Even if the cities were given to the Thunder Nether Principality, they still remained Star Luo Empire territory.

But if they were seized by the White Tiger Kingdom, the territory would truly be lost.

After weighing the matter from every angle, the Star Luo Emperor agreed to the Thunder God Sect's demands.

The soldiers and generals who joined the Nether Duke quickly formed an army with genuine combat strength. They were willing to march out against the White Tiger Kingdom's invasion.

With the Thunder God Sect's high-level soul masters joining the battlefield as well, they were undoubtedly a force that could not be ignored.
