Chapter 194: Arrogant Nezha
The roar of killing at Qishan gradually subsided until the next day at dawn.

However, the corpses scattered all over the mountains show how brutal the fierce battle last night was.

After a night of fighting, nearly half of Qishan's territory, Xiqi, was lost. If Yang Jian had not acted decisively and abandoned several camps on the front line, the whole city would have been in ruins.

He chose to stay in the rear. What was lost last night was not just half of Qishan, but the entire Qishan might be lost.

As the sun rose the next day, the Shang army occupied the exit of Mount Qishan and cheered excitedly. In contrast, the morale of the Xiqi camp was low.

Inside the Xiqi camp.

After a night of hard fighting, they finally managed to keep their current territory, but all the generals looked a little dusty.

"General Yang, our army suffered heavy casualties last night. According to statistics, there were 400,000 troops, but now there are less than 300,000 left!"

"what!"

When he heard about the casualties, Yang Jian couldn't help but show his anger. The chaos last night had caused them to lose more than 100,000 elite soldiers.

The generals also sighed helplessly, and looking at the enraged Yang Jian, many of them began to speak out.

"General Yang, most of these hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers defected to the Shang Dynasty, and the number of casualties was no more than 30,000 to 50,000."

"This battle is not because we are incompetent in commanding, but because the army is in chaos."

The generals began to explain to themselves one by one, and many of them looked at Nezha.

Last night, Nezha killed his own people the most brutally, and the blood flowed like a river!
"What are you looking at!"

When he saw the generals looking at him, Nezha's eyes widened immediately, revealing a look of dissatisfaction, and he snorted coldly:
"I am following the orders of Uncle Jiang. Anyone in the army who collaborates with the enemy will be killed without mercy!"

"Last night, those bastards in the rear army were actually trying to secretly communicate with the Shang Dynasty. If we don't kill them, are we going to keep them alive to turn against us in the future?"

Looking at the angry Nezha, Yang Jian couldn't help but pretend to have a headache and quickly waved his hands and said, "Nezha!"

The tone became a little heavier, and Nezha's eyes widened, and he spread his hands in front of all the generals.

"Brother Yang Jian, those who were killed by Nezha last night were all rebels. Since they dared to communicate with the Shang Dynasty, they deserved to die! The others actually wanted to escape. Nezha only regretted that he did not kill enough and let so many people defect.

You must know that Uncle Jiang personally issued an order that anyone who secretly communicates with the Yin Shang will be executed without mercy if discovered!"

Nezha's impulsive and reckless behavior made the generals in the tent feel very frustrated.

Are they blaming Nezha for killing defectors? No!
They are blaming you, Nezha, for taking some time to kill people even if you want to. The situation last night was getting more chaotic the more you killed.

It can be said that someone had burned the granary last night, which was already chaotic enough, but then you, Nezha, killed people indiscriminately, causing many people who had second thoughts to panic and rebel.

If they didn't rebel, they were afraid of being killed by Nezha.

There were even many generals who were confused and then forced to surrender to the Shang Dynasty.

In other words, Nezha definitely made great contributions to last night's chaos, but now he is still making excuses!
Nezha perfectly portrayed the arrogance and bullying character, especially relying on his supernatural powers to always look down on others.

He is ignorant of military affairs, and yet he doesn't think he is wrong.

The generals in the tent were filled with frustration and anger. With such generals around, it would be very difficult to fight wars in the future.

Nezha was delighted when he saw this, but he pretended not to understand and said proudly:

"Brother Yang Jian, I killed a lot of rebels last night. When Uncle Jiang comes back, you have to report this to me!"

Please give credit!

The generals were almost mad with anger, they all stared with eyes wide open, damn it!
But there were also many spineless people who bullied the weak and feared the strong and shouted: "Young General Nezha is so brave and courageous, he made a prompt decision..."

Naturally, some people are dissatisfied while others praise it.

Nezha looked even more smug, which made Yang Jian very happy, but he could only pretend to have a stern face and sighed helplessly.

"Nezha, even if these generals really have secret connections with the Shang Dynasty, you shouldn't be so impulsive."

All the generals in the tent could understand the meaning of Yang Jian's words in a tactful tone, but Nezha pretended not to understand and instead patted his chest with pride.

"Brother Yang Jian, don't worry, this achievement will not be missed by you."

My goodness, everyone was feeling aggrieved, but Nezha still thought he had done something great.

Yang Jian also pretended to be helpless and waved his hand, then instructed the generals to prepare for the counterattack of the Shang army.

"Everyone, the Yin Shang army has controlled all the important roads out of Qishan, but don't worry, Prime Minister Jiang has gone to ask for reinforcements and will be back in two days at most."

After Yang Jian's appeasement, the generals of Xiqi finally felt relieved.

Qishan is a mountain range that stretches for hundreds of miles, but this time two armies are controlling it.

Jiang Ziya probably couldn't have imagined that as soon as he left, the Xiqi camp would lose more than 100,000 people.

……

Jin'ao Island.

It is said that Shen Gongbao rode a white-browed tiger all the way to the East China Sea. Although Jin'ao Island is named as an island, it is not a piece of land on the sea.

Vast! Vast!

The caves on this holy fairyland are now closed, but there are countless people who stay on Jin'ao Island to practice and cultivate. They practice on Jin'ao Island all year round.

"Fellow Taoist, please stay!"

After seeing a figure in the distance, Shen Gongbao shouted loudly, and a look of sadness appeared on his face.

The figure was none other than Han Zhixian, a disciple of Jiejiao. When he saw Shen Gongbao, he immediately smiled.

"So it's Brother Shen Gongbao, I wonder why you're here?"

Seeing the sadness on Shen Gongbao's face, Han Zhixian couldn't help but show curiosity.

When Shen Gongbao heard this, he became even more painful and angry, and then recounted what had happened.

"That Chan Sect is really vicious. The four Daoists from Jiulong Island never thought that they would be so cruel. Without warning, all four Daoists were killed in the Conferred God List."

"Especially the disciples of the Chan Sect have always looked down on fellow Daoists of the Jie Sect, and have often ridiculed them as unorthodox sects, and even said that the Jie Sect is a group of people who do not distinguish between people with fur and horns, and are born from wetness and eggs."

Shen Gongbao's angry voice echoed, and Han Zhixian was so angry that she brought Shen Gongbao to Bailu Island.

On Bailu Island, all the disciples of Jiejiao became angry upon hearing the news.

"Damn it, this Chanjiao person is simply shameless."

"That's right. Who in the Three Realms doesn't know about the story of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect recruiting three generations of disciples to ward off disaster?"

"That's right, this Chan sect is really cruel."

"What does the Chan Sect want to do? He insults us like this. Does he really think that we Jie Sect are made of mud?"

Although most of them were in seclusion, there were still some who were not. For a moment, many disciples of the Jie Religion surrounded Shen Gongbao.

"The Xianjiao is going too far! The four Daoists from Jiulong Island were actually bullied like this. It just so happens that we have refined these ten formation diagrams, so we can let the people of the Xianjiao have a taste of our Jiejiao's magical powers."

This was what Qin Wan, who had a relatively high status among the crowd, said angrily, and the others around him immediately became noisy.

"That's right. We will follow you out of the mountains and ask the Chan Sect to give an explanation."

"That's right. How could the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect dare to insult our Jie Sect like this?"

The ten disciples of Jiejiao who were shouting were the ten celestial monarchs in the original novel of Investiture of the Gods, namely Qin Wan, Zhao Jiang, Dong Quan, Yuan Jiao, Jin Guang Sheng Mu, Sun Liang, Bai Li, Yao Bin, Wang Bian and Zhang Shao.

"Yes, the ten of us brothers and sisters have just finished refining these ten formation diagrams." At this moment, the ten of them showed a determined look, which made Shen Gongbao even more grateful and burst into tears. He clasped his fists and said:
"Thank you, thank you very much."

"Let's go, let's go to Xiqi together and we must ask the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect why he was so cruel to us disciples of the Jie Sect."

"Go together."

The Ten Heavenly Lords of Jiejiao, with angry faces, followed Shen Gongbao towards Xiqi.

Xiqi.

Ever since Nezha killed so many people in the army last time, the generals were wary of him. Yang Jian had no choice but to send Nezha to Xiqi to transport food and grass.

Nezha was sent away, which slightly calmed the anger of the Xiqi generals.

Inside the Xiqi Palace.

"What! The front line failed and the food supplies were burned!"

Ji Fa looked at the battle report in shock, and then looked at Nezha who was standing proudly in his own palace. He couldn't help but said aggrievedly:

"My father-in-law just left and this big thing happened!"

Facing Ji Fa, Nezha showed no respect at all. Instead, he waved his hands arrogantly and said:
"Jifa, you are the king of Xiqi, how come you have so many traitors under your command, and you don't even know about it, and you still ask me to help you get rid of the thieves. But you only need to remember this achievement, after all, there are only a few dozen mortal generals."

Nezha acted as if he didn't care and instead tried to take credit for it, which made Jifa feel very upset and angry.

Nezha sent battle reports, including those from Yang Jian and other generals. Nezha disdained to read them, but he saw them all.

It is obvious that Nezha has no sense of the overall situation. Everything is already in chaos, and his top priority should be to stabilize the situation rather than eliminate the rebellion.

As a result, Nezha acted recklessly, causing the army to become more and more chaotic, and even many generals were killed by Nezha without any investigation.

In a word, those who were killed were labeled as traitors.

Ji Fa was so angry, but even though he was angry, he still suppressed his anger.

"Young General Nezha, when the Prime Minister comes back, I will definitely recommend you for merit."

I have to say, Your Majesty, you have achieved this, and Ji Fa is the only one in history who has done this.

After hearing this, Nezha nodded indifferently, patted his chest and said with a smile:
"Jifa, I still like you. No wonder our Xianjiao chose you to be the leader of Xiqi. I still remember that many people said that Uncle Jiang looked down on you and thought you were spineless and a villain.

But from what I, Nezha, see today, someone must have slandered you, Ji Fa. Don't worry, I will speak well of you in front of Uncle Jiang in the future."

My goodness! Nezha's casual tone of patting his chest made Jifa even more angry.

What a fucking bully!

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing I, Nezha, want to discuss with you, the great king, Jifa."

As if he suddenly thought of something, Nezha showed a look of dissatisfaction, but Jifa took a deep breath, maintained a kind and modest smile and said:

"I wonder what the young general has to say?"

He is now having a headache over this Nezha who is ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and only cares about getting into trouble.

However, Nezha was still unaware of this, and looked at Ji Fa with dissatisfaction, snorting arrogantly:

"I heard that King Ji Fa, in order to please my uncle Jiang, even sent his princess to him, and my father Li Jing was kidnapped by the three of us and brought to Xiqi.

My father was originally dissatisfied with this matter. Although you have been named the King of Wucheng, in the final analysis, you still do not respect my father!"

After saying this, Ji Fa hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Young General, I have great respect for General Li."

At this moment Ji Fa felt really aggrieved. Damn it, if he didn't value him, could he have made Li Jing the King of Wucheng?

But when Nezha heard this, he snorted arrogantly.

"Since you value my father, then you can ask my father to send two princesses tonight. This will help to resolve the gap between me and my eldest brother, and between my second brother and my father."

Good guy!
After Nezha said this sentence which showed his ignorance of the ways of the world, Jifa, who was extremely cunning, turned pale and glared at Nezha with anger.

"Nezha! You are too presumptuous!"

It would have been fine if Jifa hadn't said this. As soon as he said this, Nezha immediately got angry. Who is he? He is a lawless little devil.

Nezha shouted angrily, and a gleaming Qiankun Circle appeared in his palm. He said angrily:

"Jifa! How dare you, a mere mortal, show off in front of me! Who do you think you are? We in the Chan Sect allow you to be the emperor, and if we don't allow you, we can always replace you.

Even if you are the king of Xiqi Great Zhou, you are nothing but a dog to us in the Chan Sect!"

"Even if I beat you to death today, the worst that can happen is that I will replace you with an obedient dog. How dare you still bark at me!"

Rumble!
Nezha's Qiankun Ring directly broke a pillar in the hall. His loud shout, without any concealment, was heard by many people in the palace.

Countless palace maids and guards looked at the palace in horror and shock.

It’s so explosive!

"Nezha!"

At this moment, Huanglong Zhenren, who had been watching the show, appeared in the palace and shouted angrily at Nezha who was about to commit suicide.

His palm even grasped Nezha's Qiankun Ring.

"Uncle Huanglong, let go, Jifa is just a dog!"

"Shut up!"

Huang Long Zhenren looked at Nezha with anger and scolded him directly:

"Nezha, you are so presumptuous. I don't know how Senior Brother Taiyi taught you. How can you be so presumptuous?"

"Put it away for me, and then return to the front line immediately!"

Facing the scolding from Huanglong Zhenren, Nezha looked furious, but he felt helpless and aggrieved, so he could not help but snort coldly.

Nezha put away the Qiankun Circle and glared at Ji Fa with hatred, saying coldly:
"Uncle Huang Long, for the sake of Ji Fa's Great Zhou, I teamed up with my elder and second brothers to kidnap my father. If he can send a princess to Uncle Jiang, why can't he send one to my father? Now my father is still angry with us."

Huang Long Zhenren almost laughed out loud, and hurriedly shouted: "Nezha, you get to the front line now, immediately!"

Nezha was so angry that he stepped on his wind-fire wheels, uttered some harsh words, and flew away without looking back.

"It's just a dog, there's no need to be angry!"

Good guy!
After Huanglong Zhenren scolded Nezha, he turned around and looked at Jifa, only to see that Jifa's face was ashen and extremely ugly due to anger.

Even though everyone knows about this, you can't say it out loud, let alone make it public.

"Your Majesty, Master Nezha died in a disaster and lacks teachings. I hope Your Majesty will forgive me."

After Nezha left, Huanglong Zhenren couldn't help but look apologetic and bowed his head to apologize.

What could Jifa say? Although he wanted to kill these people, he needed to rely on them, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger.

"You are too polite, sir. Nezha is still young and does not know the ways of the world. How can I blame him?"

Jifa even had to pretend to be indifferent and laughed as he spoke, but his heart was filled with hatred.

Jiang Ziya! Nezha! The Chan Sect!
How dare they insult him like this one by one!

Didn’t he become the emperor?

At this moment, Ji Fa was filled with regret. If he was like Emperor Xin of the Shang Dynasty, and became a king, how could these people dare to be so presumptuous!
Deception is too much!
