Helplessly, after deliberation, it was originally decided that Deng Chanyu, the Regent King, would lead the troops—this also signified Nantang's respect for the Saint's orders.
But Old Li stopped Deng Chanyu. In his opinion, even if there's danger, he couldn't allow his daughter-in-law to shoulder it—he wasn't dead yet, after all.
In Nantang, when Old Li makes up his mind, no one, truly no one, can change it.
Daji and Deng Chanyu had no choice but to let Old Li take the most elite soldiers and the finest armor.
Under Nanji Immortal's urging, they all set out for the battlefield at Mengjin.
When Nezha heard this, he was thoroughly pissed off.
It was obvious this wasn't something Yuanshi Tianzun would orchestrate. Having helped the Chan Sect Immortals plenty of times, Nezha, someone who cared about saving face, wouldn't pull a stunt like this.
It had to be that old schemer Nanji Immortal stirring up trouble.
