Chapter 148 Slapping the Fallen High Priest in the Face 6
Unfortunately, the warm atmosphere between the two was shattered by a scream.
"What's going on? All the dark power I sensed has disappeared?!" High Priest Drake stared wide-eyed at the cave in front of him.
He saw Elias holding Cold Moon Star, floating in the air, with a deep hole beneath them.
When he entered the secret cave, the dark power he had sensed had vanished without a trace.
Drake gripped the Dark Stone in his pocket, then gritted his teeth and jumped into the cave to begin exploring inside.
Finally, he lay down on the ground and carefully examined the rubble in the cave, hoping to find any remaining dark power among it.
Leng Yuexing raised an eyebrow at Drake's actions, channeled wind power into his feet, and then descended into the cave below with Elias.
He looked at Drake, who was lying on the ground searching for dark power, and said, "High Priest, all the dark power in this cave has been purified. There should be no remaining dark power."
"Why are you so eager to find the power of darkness?"
Drake was carefully searching for traces of dark power when he heard Leng Yuexing's question. He froze, realizing just how suspicious his actions had been.
He ignored his heart pounding with nervousness and slowly got up from the ground.
After quickly straightening his robes, he said with feigned seriousness, "When I first entered the secret cave, I sensed a powerful dark force. I was afraid this dark force would overflow from the cave, which is why I was a little anxious."
After he finished speaking, he seemed to remember something, and looked at Elias with a fierce but cowardly expression.
"Elijas, you just attacked me. Have you thought about how you're going to apologize?"
“Apologize?” Elias looked at Drake with icy eyes. “It seems you still don’t understand the current situation.”
"Wh...what situation?" Drake felt inexplicably afraid when he saw Elias's cold eyes, and he asked tremblingly.
Just as Elias was about to speak, the ground they were standing on suddenly cracked open again, collapsing deeper into the earth.
Elias quickly grabbed Leng Yuexing and flew into the air with him to prevent him from falling off the rocks.
Drake, caught off guard, fell down the rubble in an instant.
Rumble!
A deafening roar suddenly erupted, as if a sleeping giant beast had been awakened.
Immediately afterwards, the entire cave began to shake violently, with the ground and walls trembling.
The stalactites hanging from the cave ceiling were also affected. As the shaking intensified, the stalactites began to shatter, making a crisp sound.
These fragments, like countless sharp swords, were driven straight into the ground.
Seeing that the entire cave was about to collapse, Elias, carrying Leng Yuexing, dodged countless falling stalactites and rock fragments and flew quickly out of the secret cave.
Before leaving, Leng Yuexing glanced at the deep hole where Drake had fallen, feeling that there might still be dark forces at the bottom of that hole.
He wanted to go into the cave to check further, but the stalactites and rubble that fell from the cave ceiling filled the cave instantly, and it was too late for Leng Yuexing to go down.
So he could only let Elias carry him out of the secret cave.
After the two rushed out of the cave, the entire cave was completely sealed off.
The entrance to the cave was completely buried by rubble that fell from the cave ceiling.
Dust swirled around them, and Leng Yuexing couldn't help but cough.
The two elves guarding the cave entrance asked anxiously after seeing Leng Yuexing emerge, "My lady, are you alright? What happened?"
Leng Yuexing gently patted Elias's hand around his waist, signaling Elias to let go.
He then shook his head at the two elves and said, "I'm fine. The cave collapsed after the dark power in it was purified."
Upon hearing this, one of the elves on the other side breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you're alright."
Leng Yuexing is the most powerful elf in the Elf race. If anything happens in this secret cave, they will be held responsible.
Leng Yuexing glanced back at the completely sealed secret cave, then turned to them and asked, "Why did you let the human high priest into the secret cave?"
The two spirits looked at each other in bewilderment, and finally said in unison, "We did not let the human high priest into the secret cave. It was Lord Lance who entered the secret cave just now."
"He said that the king sent him to check out the secret cave."
"Lance?" Leng Yuexing asked in confusion.
The two elves nodded in unison. They seemed about to say something more, but their eyes widened as they looked behind Leng Yuexing.
Lord Lance, whom they had just mentioned entering the secret cave, was now walking towards them. Judging from the direction he was coming, he must have come from the foot of the mountain.
One of the elves couldn't help but run towards Lance, shouting as he ran, "Lord Lance, didn't you just enter the secret cave? Did you escape?"
Upon hearing this, Lance gently tapped his head with the hilt of his greatsword and said, "When did I enter the secret cave? I just came to check because I heard some noise here."
The inquiring elf rubbed his head and asked doubtfully, "The person who just entered the secret cave was you, sir! We are absolutely certain we didn't see wrong!"
Upon hearing this, Lance stroked his chin thoughtfully and said, "Could it be that someone transformed into my appearance and entered the secret cave?"
“It must be that High Priest Drake transformed into your appearance and entered the secret cave,” Leng Yuexing replied.
Lance looked up and saw Leng Yuexing in the distance. He broke into a huge smile and ran towards Leng Yuexing, his back view full of pride.
"Moonstar! So you were here. The king said you and the high priest came to the border to investigate, so I thought I'd come find you. How did it go? Did you find anything?"
Leng Yuexing had no memory of Lance, nor did he know what had happened between the former Chosen One and Lance.
He could only rely on his intuition to feel that Lance and the Child of Heaven must have a good relationship, so he chuckled and said, "The dark power in the secret cave has all been purified by Elias beside me."
Upon hearing this, Lance looked at Elias, who was standing next to Leng Yuexing.
He was stunned by the immense power of light emanating from Elias, staring at him with his mouth agape and muttering, "Moonstar, where did you find such a great figure?"
"His power of light is enough to purify the entire land of our elves!"
Upon hearing this, Leng Yuexing raised an eyebrow and looked at Elias. He knew that Elias possessed very strong light power, but he did not know it was this strong. He was now even more curious about Elias's identity.
He turned to Lance and chuckled, "It wasn't me who found him, it was him who found me."
Lance looked at Elias with shining eyes. He wished he could keep Elias in the elven lands forever, so that they would not have to worry about their lands being corrupted by the power of darkness.
Seeing that Lance was practically drooling, Leng Yuexing chuckled and stood in front of Elias, blocking Lance's view, saying, "You're drooling, hurry up and wipe it off."
Upon hearing this, Lance wiped away non-existent drool with his sleeve.
Then, without blinking, he looked at Elias and said, "Judging from your attire, you are a bard?"
"Our elven race has many stories to tell, why don't you stay here with us for a while?"
