Chapter 952: Wan Guiyuan's Betrayal

Xuan Che's voice was neither fast nor slow as he recounted everything they had experienced since entering the Outer Realm Battlefield.

Through his clever embellishments.

Some information unfavorable to them was glossed over or simply not mentioned at all.

Some controversies regarding Wan Guiyuan's side, however, were deliberately amplified by him, steering the situation toward an unfavorable outcome for that side.

"During the final pursuit, for the sake of safety, our remaining twelve hundred-plus people were all deployed, but we never expected that Jiu You and the others would use themselves as bait to lure us into a trap in Wenxian City."

When Xuan Che's final words fell, this space had already become completely silent.

Only the sound of surging seawater could be clearly heard.

A moment later.

Numerous cold gazes were cast simultaneously toward the Youzhou side, landing on Wen Tiansheng and the Sacred Palace Palace Master.

"The two of you, your two sects' cultivators colluded with Wenxian City, causing the geniuses of our forces to be wiped out."

"Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

The Sacred Palace Palace Master was a beautiful woman with a graceful appearance.

She had a cultivation base at the Great Vehicle Early Stage.

Upon hearing the cold words of the crowd, her expression shifted.

Yaoguang and the others colluded with Wenxian City?

How could this be possible?

In her heart, she did not believe it at all.

But Xuan Che's words were reasonable and well-founded, and she found it difficult to refute them for the moment.

Just as the Sacred Palace Palace Master did not know how to respond, Wen Tiansheng suddenly sneered, "What a joke, what Xuan Che said is nothing but empty words without a shred of substantive evidence."

"My Beast Taming Sect and the Jade Cauldron Sect are not on good terms, and since Xuan Che is a cultivator of the Jade Cauldron Sect, Wen suspects that Xuan Che is deliberately slandering us."

Hearing Wen Tiansheng's words, the Jade Cauldron Sect Sect Master's expression turned cold, "Wen Tiansheng, what kind of nonsense are you spouting?"

"Xuan Che framed your Beast Taming Sect? What about the Sacred Palace? My Jade Cauldron Sect and the Sacred Palace are not on bad terms at all."

Wen Tiansheng sneered, "Perhaps your Jade Cauldron Sect wants to be the boss of the eastern region of Youzhou and wants to take this opportunity to wipe out both my Beast Taming Sect and the Sacred Palace."

Hearing Wen Tiansheng's words, the Sacred Palace Palace Master's gaze toward the Jade Cauldron Sect Sect Master immediately became wary.

Her expression revealed undisguised hostility.

The Jade Cauldron Sect Sect Master was furious.

Want to be the boss of the eastern region of Youzhou?

To tell the truth, he had indeed thought about it.

But he had never taken any action; this Wen Tiansheng was clearly framing him!

And yet, the Sacred Palace Palace Master actually seemed to believe it!

Damn it!

He cursed inwardly, then his gaze flickered, "Xuan Che is a disciple of my Jade Cauldron Sect, but what about Cao Tian?"

"Could it be that the Ancient God Palace also wants to frame you?"

After saying this, a mocking smile crossed his face.

Wasn't this Wen Tiansheng trying to dig a pit?

This pit was not small.

He could fall into it, and Wen Tiansheng could just as easily.

The Ancient God Palace was a powerful force, and the Ancient God Palace Master was extremely overbearing.

If Wen Tiansheng answered carelessly, he would certainly provoke the Ancient God Palace Master, and it would be best if the two of them became enemies because of this...

The Jade Cauldron Sect Sect Master's idea was good.

But he severely underestimated Wen Tiansheng's thick skin; Wen Tiansheng did not play by the rules at all.

He glanced sideways at the Jade Cauldron Sect Sect Master, "Cao Tian is Cao Tian, and the Ancient God Palace is the Ancient God Palace."

"Do you think the Ancient God Palace is like your Jade Cauldron Sect, all birds of a feather?"

The Jade Cauldron Sect Sect Master's face turned green, "You are sophistical!"

Wen Tiansheng snorted, "I am speaking based on the facts."

"Enough!"

Just then, on the Tengzhou side, a dark and thin middle-aged cultivator suddenly spoke coldly.

The dark and thin middle-aged man was named Mu Kui, the Sect Master of the Shenmu Sect in Tengzhou.

The Shenmu Sect was the strongest force in Tengzhou, and Yan Shan came from this sect.

He stared at Wen Tiansheng, his tone icy, "Sect Master Wen, empty words indeed cannot be taken as evidence, but they cannot be denied by a single word from you either."

"That's right, you also admit they cannot be taken as evidence, right? Since that is the case, by what right do you question Wen?" Wen Tiansheng's eyes flashed with disdain.

Mu Kui's expression stalled, and he said with a dark face, "Because you are the most suspicious person present, you have the responsibility to provide proof for this matter."

"What a joke."

Wen Tiansheng looked sideways at Mu Kui, "You look dark and strangely shaped; I suspect you are a bastard born from a Human Race traitor colluding with the Sea Clan's Black Pig Whale Clan. I suggest you go die; if you don't want to die, bring your father and mother here to prove it. You have the responsibility to provide proof for this matter."

"You!"

Mu Kui was furious, "Wen Tiansheng, you are courting death!"

Mu Kui was filled with shame and anger.

Green light erupted from his body, and he hovered in the air like a green sun.

This world was instantly illuminated in green.

A vast pressure, like the might of heaven, spread out.

"What? Can't win the argument, so you're resorting to force?"

"Do you think your grandfather was scared into growing up?"

Wen Tiansheng sneered.

His aura expanded.

The space rippled outward from him like water waves.

Wherever the water waves passed, the green light receded.

In the blink of an eye.

This world had been split into two.

One half was filled with green light, attempting to expand.

The other half was rippling with water waves, constantly crashing against the green light.

Both spaces were filled with vast pressure, clashing and contending with each other.

At the boundary where the water waves met the green light, the void itself was twisting.

"The two of you, that is enough."

Just at this moment, a faint voice suddenly rang out.

A domineering Golden Light erupted, sweeping across this world.

The green light dissipated instantly, and the space rippling like water waves was also smoothed out in an instant.

Wen Tiansheng's expression flickered, and a trace of gravity flashed in his eyes.

"Daoist Friend Wen, what Xuan Che and Cao Tian said is only one side of the story; it is indeed not enough to draw a conclusion from it yet."

"But you fellow Daoist Friends are not people who blindly believe or follow others; your judgment must certainly have some basis."

The Palace Master of the Ancient God Palace looked at Wen Tiansheng, his domineering voice slowly ringing out.

Upon hearing this, Wen Tiansheng looked around.

Sensing the ill intent in everyone's eyes, he secretly lamented in his heart.

That brat Wan Guiyuan is insidious, cunning, and daring enough to defy the heavens.

And Jiu You obeys his every word.

He himself had no bottom line regarding whether Wan Guiyuan, Jiu You, and the others were actually colluding with Wenxian City.

If Wenxian City offered sufficiently generous terms, that brat might really collude with the Cultivators of Wenxian City.

But even though that is what is said...

Admitting fault is absolutely out of the question.

Facing the ill-intentioned gazes of the crowd, Wen Tiansheng let out a cold snort, "Since you all think so, I, Wen, have nothing to say."

"But I, Wen, have always been a cautious person; if you can produce solid evidence, I, Wen, will have nothing to say."

"But if it is all based on subjective judgment without a shred of evidence, forgive me, Wen, for not acknowledging it!"

Hearing Wen Tiansheng's resonant and forceful words, the Palace Master of the Ancient God Palace took a deep look at Wen Tiansheng, "Daoist Friend Wen is right; everything must be based on evidence."

"The Cultivators who survived from the teams of the Eight Continents are not just Xuan Che and Cao Tian."

"Since that is the case, then we shall continue to wait here, and once everyone has returned, we will make a decision."

"If the accounts of the vast majority match the judgment of Xuan Che and Cao Tian, then Daoist Friend Wen, whether you admit it or not, you will have to give us an explanation."
