"When we get back, I'm going to have my brother teach that wicked shadow a lesson!"
Verania was furious. Although the purification journey was a complete success, it brought back unpleasant nightmares for her!
Well, the Lord of Shadows is just sitting at home when trouble comes knocking on his door.
Xiao Dai gently shook his head and looked at Liu Lang, who was supporting Pope Nameru.
"How is the Pope?"
"He woke up for a short while, then immediately fell into a coma again."
"Then how do we get out?"
"Don't worry, I asked when I was sober. Come with me."
Vivi and the others took the unconscious Pope from him, while Liu Lang, following Pope Namel's guidance, found the weak point in the illusion and shattered the entire twin formation.
This twin formation was the secret weapon that Pope Nameru used to suppress herself last time.
This was also something the Holy Pope himself admitted. It was only after Verania and the others defeated him in the illusion that he briefly regained his senses.
However, she was still trapped inside the church, but at this point she was still able to control herself.
Until seven months ago, the power of the void completely devoured this place, and the Lord of Shadows actually occupied one side of the illusion. Because of her insufficient strength, she was controlled by the Lord of Shadows, which is why she ended up in this situation.
"They're out!"
A beam of light shone ahead, revealing a seal of the Holy Church. Behind them, Verania and Dai pushed the unconscious Pope forward, and the seal shattered.
As the seal began to dissipate, the familiar dashing guy appeared before Liu Lang and his companions.
"Welcome back, after a day and nine hours."
Bu Xiaosai smiled and looked at Pope Namel, who was being held between Vivis and the Lionheart Knights.
She is currently in a coma, but her demeanor and clothing suggest she is a member of the Papacy, so there's no doubt about it.

Suddenly, shortly after everyone left the place of the sacrificial seal, the seal behind them completely collapsed. It seemed that without the Pope's power, it could no longer be maintained.
"Let's go outside first; we've set up a temporary camp there."
Pope Nameru is not yet awake, so no one can get more information from her. However, this is not a big problem, because a mysterious acquaintance has arrived at the camp.
Liu Lang and Xiao Dai looked at Uncle Mark in surprise as he appeared in the camp. Would the military region really let Mark, who had a congenital void antibody constitution, leave?
"It's not just me, it's her too."
Mark waved, and the vampire Isabelle appeared beside them.
But the problem is, they didn't see any other vampire princes.
"You came by yourself? The Blood Demon Kings trust you that much?"
"Of course I don't believe you, but I do believe you. And the person here is my other half. I've advanced to the eighth star. This is a new ability given to me by the Heart of Blood."
During this time, Isabelle enjoyed the full support of the vampires and advanced from the mid-stage of the seventh star to the eighth star. She awakened a new ability called the power of one mind and two bodies. This power allowed half of Isabelle to remain in the Blood Abyss, while the other half came to the human world and joined the exploration of the Western Empire.
"So we don't need to wait for the Pope to wake up?"
Liu Lang raised an eyebrow. Mark was also a local, while Isabelle brought the latest intelligence gathered by the Abyss. The Void's current target was the northwest of the Empire, which should be the last large stronghold of the Empire's humans. Hopefully, they could still make it there in time.
"No need. Old Bu has already shared the Pope's information with Instructor Weisha, who will send someone to meet us. We need to continue our journey now."
Liu Shenjun turned his head and said to Liu Lang.
It was only then that Liu Lang realized there were other soldiers in this temporary camp, so they could leave ahead of time.
So what's the current situation?
Before Mark unexpectedly arrived in the Dragon Kingdom, the Void had already launched a full-scale attack on the Empire. If he hadn't been released by the Fourth Prince Igna, he probably wouldn't have been able to get out smoothly.
At that time, the Void Reality attacked the City of Vastness, defeating the Knights of Dawn of the Sixth Prince Varian and the Royal Guard of the Ninth Princess Verocia.
Left with no other choice, they retreated to the Alchemy City under the Noble Alliance to regroup, which was due west. Meanwhile, due north, the First Prince Dalark used the gene potion created by the royal apothecary Hawkehynes to regroup and finally successfully raised a royal army, preparing to resist the Void.
This was the situation when Mark was still in the Western Empire. He never imagined that so much time would have passed and everything here would have changed so drastically.
"Time is of the essence, we can't afford to waste any more time."
Currently, small teams have already explored the west and north, and they have clearly stated that there are obvious signs of battle in their directions, so they will not change direction. Therefore, we will head northwest to confront that Void army directly.
Bu Xiaosai left spatial coordinates here to facilitate short-distance spatial teleportation when returning.
But are there people in the northwest?
Of course!
...
The last imperial region.
The entire Northwest Region is now under the control of the First Prince, Dalark, who, together with the Grand General, has established a strong defense line in the northwest.
As for the Noble Alliance, it was marginalized and all of them were concentrated in a small town near the west.
