Xinxia was currently with her accompanying maidservants, treating the patients.
Seeing Jiang Yuan and Mo Fan arrive, she exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Yuan, Brother Mo Fan, why are you here?"
"It's because we were worried about you! How could that lousy Parthenon Temple you joined let you come to such a dangerous place? You should just quit!" Mo Fan said, annoyed.
"Do you know what you're saying? Xinxia is a Saintess candidate now, an supreme honor many Mages pursue. How can she just quit?" Fen Ai, a young girl nearby, said angrily.
"Who are you?" Mo Fan glanced at the girl.
"Hmph, I'm a Parthenon Temple probationary maidservant!" Fen Ai proudly lifted her chin.
"Oh, so you're just a probationary maidservant. I thought you were someone important." Mo Fan immediately ignored Fen Ai and turned to Xinxia: "It's too dangerous here. It would be bad if you caught the plague. Come on, Old Jiang and I will take you back home."
Fen Ai was so angry her teeth itched. Xinxia explained, "I'm already an official Parthenon Mage. No matter how dangerous it is here, I have to come and see what I can do to help. The patients are so pitiful, and there are so many children."
"So what's going on with this plague?" Mo Fan asked.
"I don't know. We still don't know the source. We're investigating," Xinxia shook her head.
"You're so stupid! You came here without investigating anything. That Temple is treating you like a guinea pig!" Mo Fan said, frustrated.
"I might know what's going on."
Jiang Yuan, who had been silent, spoke up.
He had been using his spiritual power to examine the patients, and it was indeed a plague caused by the stirring of negative emotions, just like in the original story.
This was a plague of the mind, and it was indeed difficult to detect with ordinary methods.
"What's the matter?" Mo Fan asked.
"The plague on them is a mental plague, not a physical injury. It requires mental abilities to heal." Jiang Yuan simply explained, casually drawing out the negative emotions from a patient at hand.
The patient's complexion became rosy at a visible speed, and the pain on his face disappeared instantly.
"That's it?" Fen Ai's eyes widened.
So many people hadn't found the mechanism of the plague, yet this person found it in an instant and even solved it easily!?
The pistil water they brought from the Temple could only serve to delay it.
"Old Jiang, you're reliable after all. You've solved the plague. I was planning to ask Lingling for help, but now it's much simpler. Let's quickly cure all the patients, and then Xinxia can leave here too." Mo Fan quickly said.
"Treating the patients has to wait. If the true source of the plague isn't found, the plague will continue to appear," Jiang Yuan shook his head.
"What do you mean? How do we find this source?" Mo Fan asked.
"I can use my spiritual power to find the source. I'll go solve it. You and Xinxia gather all the patients. After I solve the source and come back, Xinxia, can you use your mental power to draw out all the negative emotions from everyone?"
Jiang Yuan looked at Xinxia.
Xinxia nodded heavily: "I can do it!"
"Good, then you wait for me."
With that, Jiang Yuan flashed and disappeared before the three of them.
When he reappeared, he was already at the nearby Croatia prison.
As soon as he arrived, Jiang Yuan felt an overwhelming amount of negative emotions in the prison, giving him the illusion that the prison was about to be overturned.
"Let me see where the Little Red Demon is."
Jiang Yuan immediately scanned the prison with his mental power, finding the individual with the densest negative emotions.
It didn't take long to find the exact location of the Little Red Demon.
Jiang Yuan teleported again, his figure appearing inside the prison.
"Who are you?!" A prison guard was startled and shouted loudly.
"Someone has broken into the prison!!!!"
"Don't say, you're quite good at pretending to be human." Jiang Yuan sighed, and his Psychic Control suddenly erupted, pressing the guard in front of him firmly to the ground.
Sensing their master's danger, the clothes on the prisoners and guards in the prison tore open, tentacles grew from their backs, and they rushed madly towards him.
Jiang Yuan used spatial power to bounce away all the tentacle monsters. When he looked at the Little Red Demon, which was being suppressed, it had also transformed into a tentacle monster, but its appearance was even more terrifying.
Ordinary magic could not destroy the Red Demon. Even if it died, it could be resurrected again through evil energy.
"You can't kill me!" The Little Red Demon roared.
It couldn't understand why it was suddenly targeted by such a powerful Mage. It had clearly hidden very well before, and in a while, it would have become even stronger.
But it didn't matter, it would just find another place to collect negative energy again then.
"Oh, then you're quite impressive."
Jiang Yuan smiled and waved his hand, summoning the Three-Eyed Underworld General.
"Clatter clatter?" The Three-Eyed Underworld General looked around in confusion. Upon seeing the tentacle monsters, the flames in its eyes flickered violently, and it raised its dozens-of-meters-long greatsword, ready to charge.
"This is your target. Don't get it wrong." Jiang Yuan spoke, pulling back the Three-Eyed Underworld General, and at the same time, he threw the Little Red Demon over.
"Clatter?"
The Three-Eyed Underworld General looked down.
The Little Red Demon disdainfully met the gaze of the Three-Eyed Underworld General. When its eyes saw the Nether Eye on its forehead, a sudden ominous feeling arose in its heart.
"Kill it, and absorb it with the Nether Eye," Jiang Yuan said.
The Three-Eyed Underworld General immediately complied, and the Nether Eye shot out a red light, enveloping the Little Red Demon.
With a swing of the blade, the Little Red Demon was cut into several pieces.
No blood appeared, but evil energy surged from the body's openings, attempting to repair the wounds.
But under the light of the Nether Eye, all the evil energy was absorbed into the Nether Eye, and the speed became faster and faster!
"No, don't!!!" The Little Red Demon screamed in terror, begging for mercy.
Jiang Yuan ignored it, quietly watching as the evil energy within the Little Red Demon's body was slowly absorbed.
The Little Red Demon was pressed down by spatial power, unable to move, and watched helplessly as its power dwindled. The expression on its face was indescribably panicked.
Once all the evil energy was absorbed, it would completely disappear from the world. Even if it was a Red Demon, it would not be able to be resurrected again!
Finally, the last bit of evil energy was absorbed by the Nether Eye, and the Little Red Demon completely disappeared.
Jiang Yuan looked at the Nether Eye; it was even redder than before, a wicked red, and looking at it felt like falling into madness.
After dealing with the Little Red Demon, all the tentacle monsters reverted to human form and fainted in a heap.
Jiang Yuan ignored them and teleported back to Mo Fan and the others.
He had dealt with the Little Red Demon very quickly; Xinxia and the others hadn't even had time to gather all the patients.
"Huh? Old Jiang, why are you back again? Is there something you didn't finish saying?" Mo Fan asked in surprise.
It only took Jiang Yuan less than ten minutes to leave and return.
"It's dealt with," Jiang Yuan said.
"Damn, Old Jiang, you really are the fastest man!"
Mo Fan was shocked. Old Jiang's speed was too fast; he could solve it in less than ten minutes.
Invincible!!!
