After guarding the gates for a hundred years, I drove the Heavenly Saint to madness.

Stay tuned to Qiu Qianren, stay tuned to Cola Novels, stay tuned to every update of "The Hundred-Year Guardian of the Gods: I Driven the Heavenly Saint Crazy".

The Xiqi camp was shrouded in gloom and despair.

Xiao Wuji's surprise attack, coupled with the outbreak of the Hidden Dragon Plague, caused the entire Xiqi to collapse. If it weren't for Jiang Ziya being the chosen one, the entire Xiqi would probably have disbanded on the spot.

The losses in this battle were too great. More than half of the million-strong army was killed or wounded, and the camp was full of groans and wailing of defeated soldiers. Even the immortals and generals were either dead or captured. The entire Xiqi camp was reduced to only a handful of survivors.

Inside the central command tent, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive.

Jiang Ziya sat on the commander's seat, his eyes sunken, his once meticulously groomed white hair now disheveled.

He mustered his strength, trying to stabilize the already precarious morale of his troops after this crushing defeat.

On either side below, stood a few scattered generals and disciples of the Chan Sect.

Lei Zhenzi died in battle, Long Xuhu and others were reduced to mincemeat, Huang Feihu and Deng Jiugong were captured, and even powerful figures such as Randeng and Guangchengzi went into seclusion to heal their wounds.

The once-brilliant Xiqi camp now appears somewhat deserted.

"Gentlemen."

Jiang Ziya cleared his dry throat, his voice hoarse: "Although we have lost this battle, Xiqi has followed the will of Heaven, and its destiny has not yet ended."

"Our eldest brother, the Antarctic Immortal, has gone to find a way to break this deadlock. As long as we hold our ground..."

"Uncle-Master Jiang."

A cold voice abruptly interrupted Jiang Ziya's pre-battle mobilization, the arrogance in the voice still hard to conceal.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.

The one speaking was Nezha, who was standing at the head of the left side.

He had been severely injured by Xiao Wuji on the battlefield, and his lotus incarnation was covered with cracks, so he had been bedridden to recuperate.

He only managed to get up after the camp was attacked today.

At this moment, his face was pale, but there was no trace of defeat or dejection in his clear eyes; instead, they revealed an unusual sharpness.

"Nephew Nezha, what brings you here?" Jiang Ziya suppressed his displeasure and forced out a gentle smile.

He still had to be somewhat polite to this only son of Taiyi Zhenren and the sharpest weapon of the third generation of the Chan Sect.

Nezha stepped forward, his gaze sweeping over the empty seats of the military officers, and coldly spoke:

"Uncle-Master, where is my father, Li Jing?"

Jiang Ziya's expression froze, and the air inside the tent seemed to freeze instantly.

Everyone knows about the messy history between Nezha and Li Jing. Back then, Li Jing forced Nezha to his death, and Nezha was resurrected by transforming into a lotus and then chased after his father. If it weren't for the Taoist Ran Deng bestowing the Golden Exquisite Pagoda of the Thirty-Three Heavens to suppress and subdue Nezha, only one of the father and son would have survived.

But no one expected that Nezha would inquire about Li Jing's whereabouts at this time, which was quite strange.

Jiang Ziya thought Nezha was worried, so he looked apologetic and sighed.

"Sigh~"

"General Li fought bravely amidst the chaos of battle, but unfortunately he was captured alive by Xiao Wuji and taken to Jiepai Pass."

Upon hearing the words "captured alive," Nezha's eyebrows twitched slightly.

He showed not the slightest anxiety or grief that a son should have; instead, he immediately pursued another seemingly unrelated question, yet one that was of paramount importance to him:

"And what about the exquisite pagoda in his hand?"

Jiang Ziya shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Since General Li has been captured, the pagoda has naturally fallen into enemy hands as well."

As soon as he finished speaking, a burst of uncontrollable ecstatic light suddenly erupted in Nezha's eyes.

That tower is gone, finally gone!

Without the suppression of the exquisite pagoda, who in this world could force him to acknowledge the hypocrite who drove him to his death as his father?

Nezha bit his lip tightly; if the timing weren't so inappropriate, he would have loved to laugh out loud.

But his movements were extremely exaggerated.

"oops--!!"

Nezha suddenly let out an extremely shrill scream, clutching his chest with both hands. As if his bones had been removed, he staggered back two steps and almost fell to the ground.

"Nephew Nezha! What's wrong with you?" Jiang Ziya was shocked and quickly stood up.

"It hurts! It hurts so much!"

Nezha half-squatted on the ground, his face contorted in pain, feigning extreme agony, and gasped for breath.

"Uncle-Master Jiang! I was severely injured by that scoundrel Xiao Wuji, which damaged the essence of my lotus."

"I thought I would recover after a few days of rest, but who would have thought that upon hearing of my father's capture today, my heart was filled with grief and anxiety, and this old injury has relapsed!"

While breathing heavily in "pain," Nezha spoke with righteous indignation:

"My meridians are currently blocked, and I am unable to gather my magical power. I am afraid I will no longer be able to fight for Xiqi."

"Since Father is not in the camp, I have no will to fight. In order not to hinder the army, I must immediately return to the Golden Light Cave on Qianyuan Mountain to recuperate!"

Having said that, he gave Jiang Ziya no chance to react or try to persuade him to stay.

He stomped his foot hard.

"call--!"

Two blazing flames appeared out of thin air beneath his feet, transforming into a pair of fiery wheels. After the fall of Taiyi Zhenren, these magical treasures returned to his hands following the flow of energy.

His escape speed was even three times faster than when he chased Li Jing back then.

Inside the command tent, Jiang Ziya's hand, which was outstretched in mid-air, froze.

The generals looked at each other, bewildered.

We're all seasoned veterans who've been through countless deaths; who wouldn't see through it?

It's clear that Nezha, after learning that his father had been arrested and his pagoda had been confiscated, completely let loose and made an excuse to escape!

Overwhelmed with grief? Or overwhelmed with anxiety?

Did he really think everyone was blind to his expression, the one that made him look like he wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate?

But what good does it do to see through it all?

Nezha is a core third-generation disciple of the Chan Sect. Now that Li Jing has been captured, Randeng is in seclusion to recuperate from his injuries, and Taiyi Zhenren has died, who dares to stop him?

You should know that Nezha is a famous killing star. In terms of killing intent alone, he dares to rank second in the entire Chan Sect. No one dares to rank first. Even Yang Jian has to give way.

On the scene, Jiang Ziya looked at Nezha who had escaped and felt a sudden toothache.

Finally, he slumped back into his chair, feeling utterly exhausted.

"Never mind..."

Externally, there are formidable enemies like tigers; internally, there are fellow disciples who are like scattered sand.

The drama of "better to die than to die" is not only playing out among powerful figures, but now even the charade of filial piety is being put on the table.

This military meeting, which was originally intended to discuss how to defend, ended in an extremely awkward and ridiculous silence, and it was not a happy ending.

The generals then withdrew.

Jiang Ziya sat alone in the empty command tent, looking at the incomplete roster of troops on the table. He could only place his last hope on the Antarctic Immortal who was searching for a way to break the deadlock.

"I hope my senior brother can bring good news. Sigh~" Jiang Ziya sighed, then closed his eyes and began to heal his wounds.

He also suffered a serious injury in the previous battle.
