Black Bellied Belle: Demon Lord, Bite The Bait Please

Chapter 284.2: A Strange Change Happened

Everyone below contemplated on it for a good while, before a lean figured old man in white robes at the back suddenly put on a wise look and muttered in a thoughtful voice: “Could it be Heaven’s calamity.....”

But the moment his words came out, scornful laughter broke out seemingly on both sides unbridled, like he had just told them a funny joke.

The old man seemed to realize that he had made a fool of himself and his face immediately turned awkward and embarrassed.

How could he not be embarrassed?

What kind of a moronic Heaven’s calamity would occur right smack at the intersecting borders of the Five Great Powers? It was a highly prominent place of such great importance it was clear to see that that was the work by humans’ hands alright? Someone must be attempting to incite some kind of provocation between the Cloud Heaven’s Five Great Powers to stir up unrest and upheaval.

A young man in black robes then stepped forward to first bow respectfully towards the raised pedestal before he opened his mouth to say: “Temple Lord, I think that with something this strange that occurred so suddenly out of nowhere, instead of having all of us making all kinds of wild guesses here, why not we have the Grand Priest show us his capability by having him go investigate it, to get an affirmative answer for us all.”

That was indeed a rather sound suggestion and many people there immediately indicated their approval, turning their eyes onto the group of people wearing the blue robes of a priest.

Standing in the lead, was Cang Jian himself who had remained quiet for very long. He looked as if he had lost quite a bit of weight, like he had not been able to rest well for many days.

People who were in the dark might have thought that he had been slogging day and night for the divine temple but the truth of the matter was actually because he no longer possessed the special powers of a priest and was feeling fearful and worried that he had lost favour with Qing Luo Yan.

Seeing that man suggest that they should have the priests go investigate into the incident with the corpses, Cang Jian’s face immediately changed in shade.

His hands hidden within his voluminous sleeves tightened unconsciously and for some unknown reason, his gaze subconsciously turned to look towards the raised platform, at the young lady standing just outside the layers of curtains.

Seeming to sense the man’s gaze on her, Qing Yu lifted her head and looked at him, before a faint smile slowly came to show on her face.

Cang Jian’s heart could not help but to constrict for a moment. Would she..... really extend help to him?

Afterall, he had greatly praised and promoted the young lady before the Temple Lord previously, and that had led to her position of glory today.

Although that had brought trouble onto himself and he came to lose the Temple Lord’s trust, this young lady must not be that ungrateful and forget the things he did for her or he will not let her off!

Cang Jian straightened his back, standing in his spot with a vicious glint in his eyes.

Fortunately, that young lady did not disappoint him.

As he stood there with his body tensed and his face grave, his mind almost about to snap, Qing Yu suddenly spoke up: “Everyone, all of us might have overestimated the severity of the situation here.”
