Everyone was speechless.
Although Jiang Yuan's explanation was a bit absurd, it seemed like the only way to understand it.
It couldn't be that Jiang Yuan had a Monarch-level demon helper, could it?
Just thinking about it made it impossible!
Everyone quickly forgot this ridiculous idea and turned to discuss Little Yunmeng and Jiang Yuan's elemental possession form from earlier.
They had never seen Jiang Yuan in such a state.
In Mo Fan's words, he was "handsome and elegant enough to charm thousands of young girls."
In Ai Jiangtu's words, he was "very, very, very strong."
"It's just slightly stronger than usual," Jiang Yuan said with a smile, making a classic thumb and forefinger gesture—the Universe in a Fingertip.
If it weren't for Baxia's appearance, they would have witnessed Jiang Yuan effortlessly dominating the Sea Serpent.
"It's that gesture again…" Mo Fan muttered softly.
...
...
After the ship passed through the Red Sea and had just docked at Safaga Port in Egypt, the instructors' training mission arrived.
As expected, the training mission was to go to Pisini City and deal with the Egyptian Undead System.
Before that, everyone first arrived at the Egyptian National Pavilion. Without Jiang Yuan and Ai Jiangtu even needing to act, Mo Fan and the others easily secured the National Pavilion Chapter.
The Egyptian National Pavilion Chapter was also the last badge on their training journey.
After the training, everyone would head to the Water City of Venice for the final round of the competition.
…
Everyone rushed non-stop to Pisini City.
This city was exactly as everyone imagined Egypt to be; whether it was the streets or the houses, everything was stacked with stones, making it hard to find any modern feel.
A team of Mages occasionally ran through the streets, looking hurried, as if something urgent had happened.
"It seems the city defense situation here is really tense," Guan Yu said.
Before coming, everyone had already inquired about what was happening in Pisini City.
A mirage of a Pyramid had been projected near Pisini City, causing a severe Undead System siege and heavy casualties.
Even Parthenon Temple was sending people here.
According to the schedule, Xin Xia would arrive in Pisini City in a few days.
"I wonder what the difference is between the Egyptian Undead System and the Ancient Capital Undead System, Old Jiang, when are we going to the city wall?" Mo Fan asked impatiently.
"We'll go after we report," Jiang Yuan said, pointing to a golden-edged white tent not far away.
At the very top of the tent was a floral wheel symbol, extremely intricate and magnificent.
All the injured coming down from the city wall were sent to this white tent.
Everyone walked over.
"Please, save my daughter!"
As they approached, they heard cries of lament.
Right in front of the tent, a middle-aged man knelt there, with a terrifyingly pale little girl lying beside him.
Standing in front of them were several Parthenon Temple Mages, all looking helpless as they watched the man.
"We… we cannot save those afflicted by a Pharaoh's curse. We're… we're very sorry!!" The Temple Mage lowered her head apologetically.
Jiang Yuan and the others learned the situation from the people around them.
The middle-aged man was a Hunter who had gone into a Pyramid some time ago and obtained a treasure, not realizing it carried a Pharaoh's curse.
When he brought it home, the curse latched onto his daughter.
The Egyptian Pharaoh created the Undead System and the Curse System, so the Pharaoh's curse was known as the most unsolvable curse in the world.
Anyone afflicted by a Pharaoh's curse would inevitably walk towards Death, but before Death, they would maintain their most perfect appearance.
On the night the cursed person turned completely pale, the Pyramid's light would shine upon them, taking their soul and body to serve the Pharaoh for eternity!
Ordinary Parthenon Temple Mages could not resolve a Pharaoh's curse; at the very least, a Mage of the Goddess Candidate level was required.
"I told you that most items in the Pyramid have curses, but these Hunters just don't believe it. Now look, they've implicated their own family."
"Yeah, what a cute little girl. That hateful Pharaoh, I really hope China's Ancient King can rule over our Egyptian Undead System."
"…"
The onlookers went from blaming the Hunter to cursing the Pharaoh, and finally talking about the Ancient King again.
From this, it was clear how much the Egyptians detested the Pharaoh.
Everyone moved through the crowd, inevitably passing by the little girl.
Jiang Yuan looked down at the little girl.
She was completely pale, with no hint of pain on her face, no different from someone sleeping.
When night fell tonight, it would be the little girl's time of Death.
Jiang Yuan frowned, then looked up and asked, "Is there no way to delay the onset of the curse?"
If it could be delayed, by the time Xin Xia arrived, even though she wasn't even a formal Temple Mage, with her Parthenon Soul, she could definitely save her.
"We can delay curses, but this is a Pharaoh's curse. Even delaying it cannot save her life. We need to use our magic energy to save more people," the Temple Mage shook her head.
Instead of expending a large amount of magic energy to save someone destined to die, they decided to use their magic energy on the Mages fighting the Undead System.
"Who are you?" The Guardian Knight standing next to the Temple Mage stepped forward, asking cautiously.
"We are the China National Team, here to report," Jiang Yuan replied.
"Oh, it's you. Please follow me." The Temple Mage understood and quickly invited Jiang Yuan and the others into the tent.
After entering the tent, everyone learned about the latest Pisini City defense situation, confirmed the city wall points they needed to ascend, and then exited the tent.
The Hunter was still kneeling outside with the little girl, wailing, and no one drove him away.
Jiang Yuan didn't want to meddle.
If the Temple Mages didn't care, what reason did he, a stranger, have to care?
But the Hunter was crying too miserably, and the little girl was very innocent.
He knelt down and felt the temperature on the little girl's forehead with his hand; it was very cold.
"Can you save my daughter?" The Hunter looked at Jiang Yuan with anticipation, as if grasping at a lifeline.
Jiang Yuan secretly purified and expelled the curse on the little girl, then shook his head: "Sorry, I don't have that ability."
After speaking, he got up and led Mo Fan and the others away.
The power of the Armor Robe could sever the source of the curse, making it rootless.
Then, using the power of the Healing System to restore life to the little girl's body, filling her with vitality, while also adding a purification effect.
After these two steps, the Pharaoh's curse could be dispelled.
Jiang Yuan was about to master the full power of the Armor Robe, so resolving a Pharaoh's curse was still very simple.
In fact, it wouldn't be long before he would raise his butcher's knife against the most powerful Pharaoh's tomb—Khufu's Pyramid!
The Egyptians were right; there only needed to be one King of the Underworld in this world, the One True King of the Underworld!
