Chapter 149 Slapping the Fallen High Priest in the Face 7
Upon hearing this, Elias turned to look at Leng Yuexing and chuckled, "As long as Yuexing doesn't leave the elven territory, I won't leave."
Upon hearing this, Lance flashed his signature eight-tooth smile and exclaimed happily, "That's wonderful!"
After saying that, he turned to look at Leng Yuexing and said, "Yuexing, you are not allowed to leave the clan territory from now on! I will be watching you!"
Leng Yuexing chuckled, amused by Lance's bold personality and amusing words. "I understand. I will not leave the tribe's territory."
Upon hearing this, Lance rubbed his hands together and said, "Since there's nothing else, shall we go back to see the King?"
He couldn't wait to tell the king this great news; he was sure the king would be very happy to hear it.
"No rush." Leng Yuexing turned her head and glanced at the sealed secret cave behind her.
“The human high priest Drake previously disguised himself in your appearance and entered the secret cave. His fate is now unknown. We should check again.”
At this point, he suddenly realized that he had clearly instructed other elves to send Drake back to his homeland, so why had the high priest suddenly appeared here?
"Also, I clearly instructed the other elves to send Drake back to his homeland via telepathy, so why is he here?"
When Lance heard Leng Yuexing's question, he looked at him with a blank expression, and Leng Yuexing knew that Lance had not received his message.
He then looked at the two elves standing beside him, wondering if they had received his message.
Upon hearing this, one of the elves stammered, "My lord, we have received your message."
"However, we couldn't leave while guarding the secret cave, and there were no other elves nearby, so we thought we'd arrange for the high priest to rest in a shady spot nearby, and then send him back to his tribe when we changed shifts. But we didn't expect..."
After he finished speaking, the other elf quickly ran to a distant ravine to check, and found that the high priest was indeed nowhere to be seen.
He ran back quickly, bowed his head, and said, "The high priest is not there."
The two elves exchanged a glance, then knelt on one knee, saying with some remorse, "It was our fault for not doing our job properly; please punish us as you see fit!"
Upon hearing this, Leng Yuexing shook his head. He used his wind power to help the two of them up. "It's not your fault. Even if we send him back to the clan, I think he will find a way to enter the secret cave. But... how did he know what Lance looked like?"
"Well..." Lance stroked his chin, deep in thought.
Suddenly, he remembered something, plunged the greatsword in his hand into the ground, slapped his thigh and said, "I remember now, the high priest you mentioned, isn't he a human with long hair, a... pale appearance, and a body full of light power?"
Leng Yuexing nodded upon hearing this. "You've seen him before?"
"Yes, I saw him in the tribe's territory, but we just passed each other by. I never expected that he would transform into my appearance and enter the secret cave."
At this point, Lance touched his face. "Indeed, my beauty is unforgettable even to those who pass by me!"
Leng Yuexing guessed that Drake transformed into Lance's appearance because he probably knew that Lance held a high position among the elves, and that transforming into Lance's appearance would make it easier to enter the secret cave.
However, seeing that Lance was still admiring his own beauty, Leng Yuexing decided not to tell him her suspicions.
Now that the question of why Drake was here has been answered, the next step is to find out Drake's current situation so that we can give the King and the Satia Empire an explanation.
Leng Yuexing thought about the natural and light forces within her body, but neither seemed to confirm Drake's current condition.
Leng Yuexing turned her head to look at the sealed secret cave, wondering if she should dig it open to confirm it.
Seeing Leng Yuexing's confused expression, Elias asked in a low voice, "What are you thinking about?"
Leng Yuexing channeled a massive amount of natural power into her fingertips. "I'm wondering if I should dig open the secret cave to find out Drake's current condition."
Before Elias could speak, Lance pulled the greatsword from the ground, slung it over his shoulder, and walked up to Leng Yuexing, saying, "It's just digging open the secret cave, give me a day... no, give me three days, and I guarantee I'll dig it open for you!"
As Leng Yuexing pondered the feasibility of digging open the secret cave, Elias whispered, "I have a way."
After saying that, Elias stretched out his hand, and in his palm were two transparent crystal spheres. "These are image spheres. The image reflected by one sphere can also be seen clearly by the other sphere."
Upon hearing this, Lance's eyes lit up as he looked at the holographic sphere. "This is a treasure, isn't it? Lord Elias, you are truly wealthy!"
Leng Yuexing chuckled and said, "Then let's begin."
Elias nodded slightly, then injected a wisp of light into the holographic orb and manipulated it into the secret cave.
The holographic ball darted through the narrow gap and flew straight to the cave where Cold Moon Star and Elias had been before, then entered the cave that had collapsed earlier.
Leng Yuexing guessed correctly; there was a narrow path beneath the collapsed hole.
“He must have gone out through that path,” Leng Yuexing said with certainty.
Drake was, after all, the High Priest of the Satya Empire. If he were to die so easily, it would be a great loss of his abilities.
The holographic ball continued flying toward the path, which was lined with gravel on both sides and was very narrow. People with claustrophobia would definitely not be able to stand that environment.
Lance's breathing became lighter, and then the holographic ball continued to fly forward, turning several corners, and finally arrived at a hole about the height of a person.
The shape of the hole doesn't appear to be natural; it was carved out by force.
Leng Yuexing guessed that Drake must have left the secret cave through that path.
The photo sphere then continued to fly out of the hole, but the scene outside the hole felt familiar to Leng Yuexing.
Outside the cave, mist filled the air, and the ground was muddy and wet.
“This… should be at the bottom of the cliff,” Leng Yuexing said after thinking for a moment.
After the hologram flew around once, they finally saw the footprints left on the ground.
The image sphere flew forward following the footprints, and then Leng Yuexing and the others finally saw Drake's figure in the image sphere.
He was using the power of light to fly up the cliff, and judging by the direction, he was heading towards the Satya Empire.
The golden robe he had been wearing, which belonged to the high priest, had now turned black.
Whether it was Leng Yuexing's imagination or not, Drake, who had previously looked quite handsome, now seemed to be wearing heavy makeup.
His eyes looked as if they had been smeared with paint and turned black, while his lips were as red as blood.
