Chapter 154 Slapping the Fallen High Priest in the Face 12
Faced with the fact that she had become a holy son, Leng Yuexing smiled calmly to herself.
Since Elias, the god of light, insists that he be the holy son, then he shall be the holy son.
In any case, his goal is to stop the dark power from infiltrating the continent, and the identity of the Holy Son is more advantageous to him.
After thinking it over, Leng Yuexing raised her scepter, and dazzling light instantly filled the entire hall.
The power of light enveloped everyone, not only sweeping away their fatigue but also healing all their injuries and hidden ailments.
They looked at Leng Yuexing with gratitude and exclaimed excitedly, "Thank you, Holy Son!"
Leng Yuexing smiled gently and used her power of light to lift everyone's bodies, saying calmly, "No need for formalities, please rise."
After everyone got up, they wanted to stay in the hall longer, but because the ceremony was over, the elders of the Temple of Light asked them to leave the temple.
They left the Temple of Light with a heavy heart, turning back to look at each step.
When everyone else had left, leaving only the temple elders and Elias, the Grand Elder who was presiding over the ceremony walked up to Leng Yuexing.
He bowed respectfully to Leng Yuexing and said, "I have arranged accommodations for the Holy Son. Please follow me."
Leng Yuexing stopped the Grand Elder, saying, "This matter is not urgent. I want to know about High Priest Drake. I heard he is unconscious, but I don't know why."
The elder respectfully said, "After the high priest entered the temple, he fainted for no apparent reason and is still unconscious. We do not know the reason for his unconsciousness."
Upon hearing that Drake had fainted upon entering the temple, Leng Yuexing raised an eyebrow and looked at Elias.
Elias smiled indulgently and nodded to Leng Yuexing.
Leng Yuexing then realized that Elias had caused Drake's fainting, so he didn't press the matter further.
Instead, he turned to the Grand Elder and asked, "I wonder if I could go and see the High Priest? Perhaps I can be of some help."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder said excitedly, "That would be wonderful! Please come with me."
The elder was about to turn around and take Leng Yuexing to see the high priest.
Unexpectedly, a divine attendant rushed into the hall from outside, saying urgently, "Elder, something terrible has happened! A strong dark power is spreading from the High Priest's room."
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder looked at the messenger in astonishment and said, "How is this possible?"
The other elders' expressions changed upon hearing this. After exchanging glances, they prepared to go to the high priest's room to check.
"Holy Son, please come with me." After saying this quickly, the Grand Elder left the temple at high speed without waiting for Leng Yuexing's reply.
Leng Yuexing and Elias followed behind them and quickly left the temple.
High Priest Drake's room is in the building to the left of the temple, where the clergy of the Temple of Light rest.
Drake's room was at the very back. Before the group even reached the room, they saw black mist constantly rising from the door.
The door was now riddled with holes from the corrosion of dark power, and it wouldn't be long before this dark power broke through the door and spread throughout the entire corridor.
If the houses near the temple hadn't been imbued with the power of light, this dark power would have already spread throughout the entire building.
Without delay, the elders took out their scepters and released the power of light. The dazzling light shone on the power of darkness, purifying the dark power that had escaped from the gate.
Unfortunately, a constant stream of dark power was pouring out from the gate, so the elders could only keep releasing the power of light.
Leng Yuexing knew that if the source of the dark power in the room was not dealt with, the dark power would continue to leak out.
Leng Yuexing used the power of the wind to blow the door open, and everyone finally saw the scene inside.
Drake was not in the room, and the source of the dark power was a black stone.
Leng Yuexing raised the scepter in her hand and unleashed the power of light at the black stone.
In an instant, an extremely dazzling light shot out from the scepter, and the stone that was illuminated instantly turned into a fire that had been extinguished, with no more dark power emanating from it.
The elders wiped the sweat from their brows, their eyes filled with respect and admiration as they looked at Leng Yuexing.
As expected of the Holy Son, the dark power that required the combined efforts of many elders to suppress was purified so easily by the Holy Son.
After the dark power was purified, Leng Yuexing was the first to enter the room. He reached out to pick up the stone on the table to examine it, but was stopped by the Grand Elder beside him.
"Holy Son, be careful! What if there is still residual dark power..." the Grand Elder said worriedly.
Leng Yuexing gently shook her head and said, "It's alright."
After saying that, he picked up the black stone. It looked like just a stone, but it had the texture of metal and was very hard.
Leng Yuexing didn't know what kind of stone it was. He picked it up and asked in confusion, "What is this?"
The elders who were also observing carefully shook their heads; they didn't know what it was either.
“This is a Dark Stone that can store dark power. Once enough dark power is stored, it can summon the God of Darkness,” Elias said from the side.
"The Dark Stone? The legendary Dark Stone?" the Grand Elder asked in surprise.
Leng Yuexing turned to look at him, "You know about the Dark Stone?"
The Grand Elder nodded as he looked at the Dark Stone. "The Dark Stone is recorded in the sacred books kept in the temple. However, the Dark Stone only exists in the Dark Abyss. How could it appear on the continent, and even in the High Priest's room?"
Upon hearing this, Leng Yuexing's eyes sharpened. "Then we'll have to ask the High Priest how he obtained the Dark Stone and how he filled it with dark power."
As Leng Yuexing spoke, he thought of the cliff at the border. If he wasn't mistaken, Drake must have obtained the dark power at the foot of the cliff.
Leng Yuexing gripped the Dark Stone tightly, filled with worry as he thought that Drake might go to the elven lands after leaving.
He then turned to the elders beside him and said quickly, "As the Holy Son, it is my duty to find out the reason for the High Priest's disappearance. There is no time to lose. I must leave now. If I have any news, I will inform you."
Upon hearing this, the elders had no objections and bowed to Leng Yuexing, saying, "Thank you, Holy Son."
Leng Yuexing nodded to them, then quickly pulled Elias away.
Once outside the house, Leng Yuexing looked up at Elias and asked, "Elijas, do you know where Drake went? Why did he suddenly wake up?"
Elias took the stone from Leng Yuexing's hand and said, "It must be the influence of the Dark Stone that caused Drake to wake up earlier than expected."
“However, even if he wakes up, he can’t run very far with his physical condition.” Elias said, closing his eyes. He hadn’t bothered to check before; finding Drake’s whereabouts was a piece of cake for him.
However, after finding Drake and seeing where he was, he raised an eyebrow and said in surprise, "He's summoning the God of Darkness below the cliff at the border."
