The young lady’s clear and gentle voice rang out within the vast hall, drawing countless pairs of eyes to her in an instant.
But in the very next moment, she was met with the bristling furious glare of a black robed old man who hollered: “How impetuous! A little lowly attendant girl like you actually dares to speak critically in such an important meeting of the Divine Temple! ? Is it because you think that winning the Temple Lord’s favour gives you the right to be so arrogant and conceited? !”
That old man was a well respected Elder in the divine temple who holds a rather high position. He was a person not prone to laughter and a man of few words, a stern and serious character who emphasized greatly on the hierarchy of rank and position, and the strict compliance to etiquette. To him, Qing Yu’s actions here was clearly a case of insubordination, audacious conduct that overstepped her boundaries.
“Hold your anger for a moment Elder and maybe hear me out first before you decide whether to apportion blame onto me?” Qing Yu asked as she looked smilingly at the old man, seemingly not fearful of the fury showing on his face.
The black robed old man was just about to open his mouth to chastise the young lady when the voice of the woman behind the curtains sounded out softly: “No harm hearing what she has to say.”
Since the Temple Lord has already spoken, the old man could do nothing but hold himself back and acquiesced quickly.
“Yu Qing, let me hear what you think.” Qing Luo Yan then said.
Qing Yu nodded her head slightly and then turned to the people below to say: “The Mind Free Peak is about to appear and I think I do not need to say anything more about it as everyone here is better informed than me with regards to this.”
“Does this have anything to do with the incident regarding the corpses?” Someone then asked puzzledly.
“Let me finish.”
Qing Yu looked at the person who spoke with a smile, and then continued on to say: “The Mind Free Peak is said to be a divine realm, and the high level of mystery surrounding that place is clear to see. No one knows when it will come to appear, and no one knows where it will finally show up.”
“But since it is a divine realm, it is only natural that something unusual would accompany it pending arrival to exemplify its extraordinary status. And at this time when the MInd Free Peak is about to manifest itself, could a mysterious and incredible incident come to occur, or an unexplainable phenomenon happen to appear in the skies?”
“You mean…..”
The people there were all not that stupid, and they were naturally able to decipher what the young lady was trying to hint at with her words, but what she said was really a liitle too incredible to believe.
“That’s right. I feel that the appearance of the corpses could have something to do with the impending manifestation of the Mind Free Peak. Because of that, it caused a shift or fluctuation that affected some life forms, which then cost them their very lives, and not because of what many here are thinking, where someone is intentionally trying to stir up turmoil in Cloud Heaven.”
