On the former lands of the Great Sui, where eighteen rebel kings emerged, each was frantically expanding his territory and power.
The Outer God creations at Longwang Road were vast in number. Wang Junwu led his mighty army, advancing cautiously, and annihilated all the Outer God creations, seizing control of Longwang Road, thus becoming the most powerful rebel king in the entire north.
Pei Renwu was elected to suppress the Outer God creations in Sword South Path, ultimately becoming the rebel king there.
Li Shangfa of Longyou Road also seized the opportunity to rise and became the rebel king of Longyou Road.
However, Li Shangfa's ability was limited, and although he qualified as one of the eighteen rebel kings, he was still skirmishing with other minor rebel kings of Longyou Road.
The previously inconspicuous Li Family of Taiyuan, having destroyed the Li Family of Jin River and taken control of half of Jin River Road, quickly moved southward, heading straight for Daxing City.
