Chapter 906: Slapping Cao Tian
Just at this moment.
Wang Jianqiang's voice came again.
"Daoist Friend Cao, as the one who proposed these two decisions, don't you have anything to say?"
Hearing Wang Jianqiang's words, Cao Tian immediately snapped back to his senses, his gaze flashing, "Wan Guiyuan, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to make false accusations?"
"These two decisions were clearly proposed by you yourself; for you to frame me, Cao, is truly sinister!"
"You are the leader of the team; if not for your proposal, how could the decisions have been implemented?"
"The Daoist Friends here all have eyes like torches; how could they be deceived by you?"
Upon hearing this, the crowd let their gazes wander between the two, their eyes flickering, but no one spoke easily.
Wang Jianqiang smiled and shook his head, "False accusations? Daoist Friend Xiaoyue was there at the time; why not let Daoist Friend Xiaoyue provide the proof?"
As he spoke, Wang Jianqiang looked at Xiaoyue Daoren with a beaming smile.
Although his expression was gentle, Xiaoyue Daoren sensed a bone-chilling coldness deep within his eyes.
His heart skipped a beat.
He knew that Wan Guiyuan was warning him.
He wanted him to understand.
That by siding with Cao Tian in the Elite Squad back then, he had already been marked with resentment!
If he still didn't know what was good for him, this Wan Guiyuan would certainly not let him off again!
Thinking of this.
Xiaoyue Daoren dared not show the slightest bias toward Cao Tian.
"Fellow Daoist Friends, I can testify."
"When the Elite Squad was about to enter the Flame World and split the team, Daoist Friend Wan opposed it with all his might, but he could not sway Daoist Friend Cao, and in the end, he had no choice but to execute those two decisions."
"Ridiculous!"
Hearing Xiaoyue Daoren's words, Cao Tian sneered, "Wan Guiyuan is the leader; not to mention whether those two decisions were proposed by me, Cao, even if they were, if he, Wan Guiyuan, did not agree, how could they have been implemented?"
"Your argument is simply full of holes."
As he spoke, he looked at the few Leaders watching silently on the side, "Xiaoyue is a member of the Youzhou team; naturally, what he says will lean toward Wan Guiyuan. How can he be considered a witness?"
"If we are counting this way, I, Cangzhou, also have a witness."
Having said this.
He shifted his gaze and looked at the other Cultivator from Cangzhou who had joined the Elite Squad besides himself.
That person understood and said, "I can testify that those two decisions were proposed by Wan Guiyuan, not by Senior Brother Cao."
Hearing this person's words, Cao Tian looked at Wang Jianqiang and sneered, "Wang Jianqiang, what else do you have to say?"
Wang Jianqiang looked at Wan Guiyuan with a smile that was not a smile.
A moment later, the smile on his face faded, and a hint of mockery appeared in his eyes, "I, Wan, like nothing more than slapping the faces of shameless people like you. I hope you can still be this tough with your words next."
As he spoke, he flipped his palm, and an Image Recording Stone appeared in his hand.
Seeing Wang Jianqiang take out the Image Recording Stone, Cao Tian's heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding surged into his mind.
This bastard didn't record it, did he?
"Hmph, playing tricks!"
Although Cao Tian was muttering to himself, he did not show the slightest weakness on the surface.
Perhaps this Wan Guiyuan was just bluffing.
Just as he was constantly comforting himself in his heart, the Image Recording Stone in Wang Jianqiang's hand began to glow with a faint Spirit Light, and immediately after, scene after scene appeared.
"It is so dangerous behind this spatial rift, so let's not go in... as long as we trap this Ye Lingyun in this Flame World... there is no need to go in and take risks..."
"Wan Guiyuan, such a small danger is enough to scare you off; your courage is truly too small. That the position of Youzhou Leader could fall to someone like you is truly ridiculous..."
"You cannot represent everyone."
"If you don't believe me, we can vote to decide whether or not to enter the Flame World; at that time, everyone's wishes will naturally be clear."
"Wan Guiyuan, five to two; it seems there are more people on my side."
In the Image Recording Stone, the images kept flashing.
Finally, it froze on Cao Tian's smug, smiling face.
When the footage in the Image Recording Stone finished playing, Cao Tian's face had turned the color of a pig's liver.
This bastard!
He actually recorded it!
He had already thought of recording it at that time; was he prepared in advance, or was this just his habit?
If he was prepared in advance...
To have started plotting against him so early, his scheming was truly too deep!
At the same time.
The crowd also snapped back to their senses, looking at Cao Tian with dark faces, "Daoist Friend Cao, what else do you have to say?"
Cao Tian's heart skipped a beat, "Fellow Daoist Friends, I, Cao, admit that the decision to enter the Flame World was proposed by me, but I, Cao, did it to kill Ye Lingyun and for the victory of the team."
"Moreover, this does not mean that the destruction of the team is my, Cao's, responsibility."
"The true root of the team's destruction was splitting the team; this decision was not made by me, Cao..."
Cao Tian had only said half of his sentence when he suddenly saw Wan Guiyuan take out another Image Recording Stone.
His voice stalled, and his face turned black.
No way, right?
Could this bastard have even recorded the scene when the team split up?
It's just that...
Why didn't he just use one Image Recording Stone to record everything?
Does he have so many Image Recording Stones he doesn't know where to use them?
Just as Cao Tian was cursing inwardly, Wang Jianqiang had already activated the second Image Recording Stone.
Inside the Image Recording Stone.
Frame after frame flickered into view once again.
It clearly recorded every scene of Cao Tian mentioning the split of the team, the confrontation with Wan Guiyuan, and later the vote to reach the final decision.
The final image remained frozen on a face full of smug laughter.
Cao Tian looked at that face belonging to him inside the Image Recording Stone.
His complexion turned from green to white.
"Daoist Friend Cao, you seemed to have just admitted that the destruction of the team, in the final analysis, was because the team was split up."
"Now, what else do you have to say for yourself?"
Qingshui and the other Leaders stared at Cao Tian, their expressions ugly.
From the very beginning, this Cao Tian had avoided the important and dwelt on the trivial, highlighting his own contributions while refusing to speak a word about his own mistakes.
After Wan Guiyuan arrived, he had actually continued to deny everything.
He was clearly treating them like fools!
At this moment.
Even Yuwei frowned.
All this time, Senior Brother Cao had always appeared refined and courteous in front of her; she hadn't expected him to commit such a shameless act, daring to do something but not daring to take responsibility for it.
Sensing the hostility on the faces of the Leaders, especially the disappointment in Yuwei's eyes.
Cao Tian's complexion had become ugly to the extreme.
His gaze flickered, and he bit the bullet and said, "Everyone, Cao admits that the decision to split the team was also proposed by Cao, but whether it was entering the Flame World or splitting the team to search for Ye Lingyun, it all went through a vote."
"This was the collective will of everyone, how can it all be blamed on Cao!"
"And this Wan Guiyuan, as the leader of the Elite Squad, is also hard to absolve of blame."
"He clearly saw the flaws in these two decisions, yet he did not insist on opposing them, but instead weakly chose to decide by vote; this is a failure in leading the team, and he should bear at least fifty percent of the responsibility!"
