Demon Emperor

Chapter 79 Demon Mother Goddess
In one wave, the horse-faced god gave Ruan Hu everything.

In the blink of an eye, they arrived at another old lair high in the sky, thinking that from now on they could advance or retreat as they pleased, and at least had a safe place to live.

"Ruan Hu, you brat, this feud isn't over yet."

Wherever he went, he seemed to repeat the same thing, reminding himself not to forget this grudge.

This sorrow is as boundless as a flowing river.

He peeked out from his shrine, attaching himself to the horse bone statue to peer into the human world, only to discover that there were some new faces among the blue-faced Qiang tribe who had worshipped him for generations.

"?"

outside.

Cries and shouts filled the air as a large group of people rode around the camp of the Qingmian Qiang tribe on horseback, with women and children huddled together, trembling.

These people with distinct facial features are clearly different from the Qiang people; it's obvious they are barbarians.

"Kneel down, kneel down, kneel down!"

"You are all slaves."

“I, Ronda, am your new master and leader.”

“The noble among you will be qualified to offer yourselves to the noble Mother Goddess.”

"This is your greatest honor."

A tribe of barbarians from the depths of Baima Gaotian conquered them. The original Qiang chieftain died, and a barbarian chieftain named Longda became the master of this place.

These outsiders grinned as they abducted the women and tied up the able-bodied men.

If anyone tried to escape, these foreigners would immediately throw out flying stone ropes, accurately binding the escapee's legs, and then chase after and capture them.

Then, they arrested all the blue-faced Qiang men who had noble status.

This involves killing all the nobles of the Qingmian Qiang tribe and sacrificing them as human sacrifices to their god, just as they had previously sacrificed themselves to the horse-faced god.

And this Ronda is no ordinary person either.

At that moment, the horse-faced god had just possessed the shrine's bone statue and was spying on them when this person immediately noticed.

"who is it?"

“There are ghosts and spirits watching.”

Ronda glanced back and immediately looked at the location of the horse-faced god.

Then, the tribal leader let out a loud shout in rapid tribal language.

"Start piling up!"

This horse-faced god was truly unlucky; he returned just as these barbarians were preparing to use a nobleman from the Green-faced Qiang tribe to sacrifice to the gods.

One by one, the scribes and monks who were preparing for the sacrifice immediately sat down and formed a ritual to exorcise the demon, trapping the horse-faced god inside.

These monks and Tibetan monks immediately spread out altars painted with mountains, rivers, palaces, birds and beasts, and placed dolls on the left and right sides.

Then, stones were piled up on the jar, and the horse-faced god immediately felt as if he were being pressed down by a mountain, unable to move.

This time, the horse-faced god was truly terrified.

"My life is over."

And next.

These indigenous people continue their human sacrifice rituals to worship their own gods.

They pieced together tables to form a huge altar, and then spread mats on top of it.

Using colored powder, a fully naked human figure with complete facial features was drawn on the jar, and then circles were drawn around the human figure.

The statues of gods were placed on the table, and various gold, silver, and jade objects were offered and placed into a precious and ancient gold bottle.

A monk stepped forward and lit three butter lamps.

Then, the brutal sacrifice began.

"what!"

Amidst screams.

A terrifying evil god descended upon this place from the depths of the White Horse Sky, instantly traversing an unknown distance.

"Wow wow wow..."

The horse-faced god first heard the piercing cries of infants, and then saw terrifying infants appear, clinging to the sacrificial site and feeding on something.

They were devouring the blood and flesh, enjoying this gluttonous feast of human sacrifice.

Next, the real person appeared.

A terrifying shadow gradually solidified into a human shape on the offering table.

She was a female deity dressed in elegant and noble attire, yet possessing a dark and bloodthirsty aura.

The other person sat high on the altar, looking down at the horse-faced god who was pressed under the pile. The goddess leaned down and sniffed, as if she could smell his scent and origin.

"Are you a general under the Emperor of Fengdu?"

When asked whose subordinate he was, a question that would normally make most people stand tall and proud, Horse-Faced God only felt incredibly ashamed.

"It used to be, but it isn't anymore."

Upon hearing this, the deity became interested.

Tell me about it.

With his life hanging in the balance, the horse-faced god's fate was entirely in the other's hands, so he immediately recounted his recent tragic experiences.

That's true.

Those who hear it are sad and those who hear it shed tears.

As the horse-faced god spoke, tears welled up in his eyes. "That Ruan Hu is so wicked, he's covered in sores on his head and pus oozing from his feet."

"It is the worst evil in the world!"

"Please, God, quickly subdue this evil spirit."

Even at this moment, the Horse-Faced God still acted like a subordinate of the Emperor of Fengdu, a high and mighty righteous god, while everyone else was a demon.

Completely unaware that he had become a demon, and that the deity before him was an evil god.

The deity, however, did not take it seriously. He thought that the horse-faced god's defeat was to be expected, and there was nothing more to say.

The horse-faced god became frightened upon seeing this, fearing that the evil god would think he was useless, and immediately said...

"At this moment, the land of Xicheng is beset by internal and external troubles. I still have some power and influence in the land of Xicheng, and I can help the believers under the Venerable God to enter Xicheng."

The deity seemed both interested and uninterested after listening.

She countered with a question: "Then would you be willing to be my son?"

The horse-faced god was shocked: "What?"

The evil god on the altar uttered a sound: "Hmm?"

The infant ghosts beneath the ferocious god all turned to look at it, countless eyes lighting up in the darkness, and black shadows covered the earth—a truly terrifying scene.

"You don't want to?"

Horse-faced God trembled and hurriedly said.

"Yes, yes!"

The evil god then threw out something that looked like an umbilical cord and attached it to the horse-faced god.

"Zizzizi!"

Horse-faced God felt a sharp pain emanating from his soul, and he struggled beneath the pile.

"what!"

Horse-faced God didn't know what the Demon Mother Goddess had planted in him, but he knew it was probably a way to bind him, just like the Demon-Binding Rope of the Celestial Maiden of Myo-hyang.

The other party said, "I am the Demon Mother Goddess, and from this day forward you are my son!"

He once dreamed of becoming the Horse-Faced God, the god of horse-drawn carriages.

At this moment, things have gone downhill, and all temper and dignity are gone.

The evil god on the altar lit up, releasing him from under the pile. Seeing that the horse-faced god made no move, the evil god's eyes changed.

Demon Mother Goddess: "I'm standing up now, what should you call me?"

The horse-faced god immediately realized what was happening. He knelt on the altar and cried out with heartfelt emotion.

"Mother!"

The mother is kind and the son is filial, the picture is very beautiful.

The once lofty and supreme deity in the palace, the horse demon who stiffened his neck and reluctantly bowed his head in front of people, is now a horse kneeling on the ground, calling out to its mother with heartfelt sincerity.

No one could have imagined that the majestic and imposing horse-faced deity sitting in the main hall of the temple would become like this today.

Imperial Horse Stables.

Ruan Hu did not appear today, but instead watched as five Qiang slaves rode white-headed demon donkeys across the sandy ground.

These Qiang slaves, clad in armor and wielding lances, moved swiftly like the wind, displaying proficiency in various combat techniques.

More importantly, these Qiang slaves were fearless and fought with all their might, showing no regard for others, even when they were fighting each other.

If you look closely at the eyes of these Qiang slaves, you'll see they are somewhat empty.

These ones.

It was a Qiang slave whose soul had been swallowed by the white-headed donkey, and it was also the one that Chen Guang had offered up along with his only daughter when he went to the Chen family's Shiqiao Village.

It appears that the Qiang slaves are riding horses, but in reality, it is those white-haired demon donkeys who are in control of everything.

As they charged into battle, those malicious white-headed demon donkeys didn't stop either. They deliberately used their armor to bump into others, trampled others with their iron hooves, and even deliberately used the ramming horns on their helmets to subtly stab the enemy.

If this thing were deployed to the battlefield, it would truly be a meat grinder.

Beside Ruan Hu, the "Great Mountain" Divine General, clad in full armor and seated cross-legged like a human, was in charge of all...

"Indeed impressive, we must quickly procure this Divine Chariot Army."

The more Ruan Hu looked, the more itchy he became.

The White Maiden God's Divine Zou Army is incredibly useful, but it's really difficult to gather elite cavalry. Xicheng has virtually no cavalry, and the few that exist have been taken away by Yuchi Chongwu.

Moreover, this Divine Chariot Army is a soul-devouring cavalry force. Although Ruan Hu is fierce, it is not appropriate for him to use real Xicheng disciples as slaves of this demon.

"If only someone could send me another elite cavalry unit."

Ruan Hu finished the drill and prepared to leave.

At this moment, the eunuch beside him received the news, ran up behind Ruan Hu, knelt down, and presented a secret letter.

The matter he had previously entrusted to him has now received a reply.

At the same time, the eunuch said hurriedly.

"His Majesty!"

“A group of barbarians and Qiang tribes from the high heavens of Baima came down and joined forces with a part of the Nanzhao people.”

"They are currently gathering along the Tiandu River, but we don't know what they are going to do."

The report came not from undercover agents of the Detective Agency, nor from the prefect of Ya County, but from the Chen family's merchant caravan.

The cavalry really came.

There were just too many of them.
