Demon Emperor

Chapter 51 Demon-Binding Rope

Although Ruan Hu was a genuine, authentic demon from "outside the realm".

But it was this celestial maiden, Miaoxiang, who truly allowed him to witness the sorcery and divine arts of this world.

Soon, Ruan Hu witnessed the methods of the Fairy Maiden Miaoxiang in subduing demons and ghosts.

Within the spiritual realm.

The Celestial Maiden Miaoxiang raised her hand and had someone fetch a treasure.

"Bring me the Demon-Binding Rope!"

Ruan Hu believed that the magical powers of the Celestial Maiden of Fragrance were mostly related to the art of incense, since he had witnessed it before.

The fact that they brought out the Hengwu Incense, which can lure people into the spirit realm from tens or hundreds of miles away, the Tomb Incense, which can reveal ghosts and gods, and the Shenguang Liuying Incense, which can be tracked, all demonstrates this point.

But at this moment, she suddenly unleashed another kind of power.

Ruan Hu was very curious and asked, "What is the Demon-Binding Rope?"

The Celestial Maiden Miaoxiang said, "It was obtained from the Queen Mother of the West in the past; it is a means to control ghosts and spirits."

"The gods and lords of all corners of the world also possess similar items. The Taoist sect has the Immortal Binding Rope and the God-Slaying Whip, and the Buddhist sect also has similar methods."

The Queen Mother of the West is said to reside in the Kunlun Mountains of the Western Regions, but many people in the Central Plains also worship this deity.

Some say it belongs to Taoism, but this deity was already recorded in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, before Taoism had even risen to prominence in the Central Plains.

But in every record, this is an unworthy deity.

Upon hearing the name, Ruan Hu felt that the Demon-Binding Rope must be something extraordinary.

The Heavenly Maiden Miaoxiang dismissed everyone around her, seemingly indicating that there were some secrets that could only be told to Ruan Hu, and that no one else was allowed to know them.

"Your Majesty, I am able to take charge of this spiritual realm and become the master of this wonderful paradise by means of two methods."

"The first is that one can use the art of incense to refine vengeful ghosts and transform them into divine generals and yakshas. One can also use the art of incense to perform various divine means."

"The second one is this Demon-Binding Rope."

“The former allows me to remain the master of this wonderful paradise, while the latter allows me to assume the position of god and govern the gods of the four directions.”

Ruan Hu then asked, "Since it is a demon-binding rope, it should be something used to bind demons. What does it have to do with that deity?"

Myo-hyang Celestial Maiden: "In ancient times, strange and unusual things, things that did not obey control, were called demons."

"The so-called demon-binding rope is used to bind those abnormal, strange, and unruly things."

The Celestial Maiden of Fragrance said, “The method of refining the spirit through incense is useful for ordinary little ghosts and wandering spirits, but it has no way to bind those who have truly attained the mysteries of the divine path.”

"To truly control these gods, one must put a rein on a horse and a nose ring on a cow."

"However, this method should not be used lightly. I will only use it on those whose divine status is similar to or even surpasses mine."

At this point, the Celestial Maiden Miaoxiang sighed somewhat.

“In the past, I used this Demon-Binding Rope to capture some powerful gods and demons, but unfortunately, I lost everything after my defeat.”

Upon hearing Miaoxiang Tiannu's words, Ruan Hu felt even more that Bai Gu Shen was truly extraordinary, and he could also sense the importance Miaoxiang Tiannu placed on him.

Indeed, if this White Maiden Goddess weren't so important, why would the Heavenly Maiden of Fragrance be so furious?

Those insignificant little devils and wandering spirits can be killed with a single decree, their souls scattered or they wishing for death but unable to.

Soon, the demon-binding rope was retrieved.

The Celestial Maiden Miaoxiang grasped the rope and then closed her eyes.

Ruan Hu watched as the Fairy of Fragrance silently chanted a spell, but his attention soon slowly shifted from her lips to the flower ornament between her eyebrows.

The celestial maiden opened her eyes, her arched eyebrows revealing a hint of majesty.

"go with!"

After saying that, he threw the demon-binding rope downwards, and Ruan Hu saw the golden rope transform into a "long snake" and fall down.

The "golden serpent" immediately burrowed into the body of the White Goddess and then quickly coiled around her.

Bai Gu, dressed in pure white, collapsed to the ground, letting out a soft moan.

"what!"

Then Ruan Hu saw that the rope slowly merged into Bai Gu Shen's body, turning into a faint, almost invisible, light red line imprinted on her skin.

Ruan Hu understood some of it.

This demon-binding rope is less of a magical artifact and more of a special technique or incantation.

It has no real physical form, but it is real and exists in a formless and shapeless way.

However, this thing was too sophisticated, and Ruan Hu was unable to see its mystery.

After "planting" the demon-binding rope into Bai Gu Shen's body, Miao Xiang Tian Nu, who was standing side by side with Ruan Hu on a high place, leaned closer and whispered in his ear.

"Your Majesty, I am about to begin chanting the incantation. Your Majesty must remember this incantation well."

At this moment, Ruan Hu could feel the other person's breathing disturbing the hairs behind his ears.

Although his expression remained unchanged, a strange feeling welled up inside him.

But looking down from the Heavenly Palace.

The two stood high above everything, looking down on the entire Spirit Realm Heavenly Palace like a divine emperor and empress.

The white-clad goddess, prostrate beneath the high platform, awaits the Heavenly Emperor's punishment.

In a daze, Ruan Hu heard the complete incantation.

Then, Miaoxiang gave him a serious pep talk.

“By reciting this incantation, one can summon and control deities at will.”

"But this incantation must never be known to a third person, not even the closest person."

"If others find out, at best they will lose the divine means that protects them, and at worst they will suffer a backlash and lose their lives." "Also, we must never believe the sweet words of the gods who are controlled by the demon-binding rope and think that they have been subdued and have been released."

Ruan Hu understood that the other party had truly shared even their most secretive methods with him.

As the Celestial Maiden Miaoxiang chanted the incantation, the White Maiden Goddess below also underwent a change.

The demon-binding rope reappeared on her body, tightly binding her.

Bai Gu Shen was bound tightly, leaving her no chance to break free.

At this moment, the Celestial Maiden Miaoxiang sent a message from above.

"I ask you, what is your method for controlling and refining the white-headed donkey?"

"I'm asking you, what about the horse-faced god..."

"I'll ask you again..."

That White Maiden Goddess did indeed have some ulterior motives.

The previous act of submission, which appeared so weak that it seemed as if it could not withstand a gust of wind, was actually part of a different plan.

But at this moment, if she had any ulterior motives, the demon-binding rope would tighten around her even more.

Every lie she told would cause an electric current to surge through the golden cord, making it tremble uncontrollably.

Ruan Hu originally wanted to see how powerful the Demon-Binding Rope was, but looking at the white-clad goddess who was bound by the rope in such a fancy way, he felt that something was not quite right.

However, Miao Xiang on the other side did not stop.

even.

It could be said that they were deliberately tormenting the White Maiden.

She deliberately repeated some questions over and over, causing the ropes to tighten more and more around the already curvaceous goddess in white.

He even deliberately chanted incantations, swinging his Ruyi scepter to turn it into a whip, electrocuting him until he was half-dead.

even.

They even deliberately asked some ambiguous questions to test whether the White Maiden Goddess had any intention of hiding anything, which caused her to be tormented by the Demon-Binding Rope over and over again.

Ruan Hu thought the time was about right; if he delayed any longer, the old donkey might be taken away by someone else.

Moreover, although she had her own ulterior motives, Ruan Hu would still need to rely on her strength in the future.

His throne as emperor was not very secure.

He said, "After all, she was once a deity; there's no need to treat her like this!"

The Celestial Maiden Miaoxiang immediately lowered her hand, loosening the demon-binding rope slightly, but it remained tightly bound to the other person.

Bai Gu was filled with gratitude and bowed repeatedly to Miao Xiang Tian Nu.

"Thank you, Divine Lord!"

"Thank you, Divine Lord!"

"The God is all-powerful. From now on, Bai Gu will never dare to have any ulterior motives. She is willing to serve the God as a slave and servant."

The Celestial Maiden of Wonderful Fragrance unleashed another spell, causing her to convulse from the electric shock.

"Why thank me? You should thank His Majesty instead!"

Bai Gu immediately bowed down to Ruan Hu, but her gaze remained fixed on Miao Xiang Tian Nu on the high platform, her eyes filled with awe and fear, yet also with a strong sense of worship and flattery.

Ruan Hu discovered that this White Goddess was somewhat ill; the more she mistreated someone, the more she tried to please them.

She idolizes those who act superior and authoritative in her presence.

Miaoxiang Tiannu let out a cold snort and lashed out with two more electric whips.

"Clap!"

"Uh-huh~"

The goddess Bai Gu below let out two soft moans, but it seemed she had completely submitted.

After subduing the White Maiden Goddess, the Celestial Maiden Miaoxiang said to Ruan Hu.

"Your Majesty, the way of the gods is different from that of the mortal world."

"This White Maiden Goddess is not comparable to His Majesty's ministers; one cannot do the thing of slapping her while giving her a sweet treat."

"Most of these ghosts and spirits don't know how to be grateful, nor do they understand etiquette and morality."

"I only know that supreme supernatural power and heaven-reaching methods."

"The more you control them, the less they dare to have any ideas. If you reveal even the slightest weakness or vulnerability, they will take advantage of it."

Ruan Hu nodded, indicating that he had learned something.

If the power gap between people in the mortal world has not yet reached such an extreme level, then a set of moral and ethical rules and order is still needed to maintain stability in the human world.

In this world of ghosts and gods, because the power gap between them is unimaginable, what maintains order is no longer morality or etiquette, but rather naked supernatural powers and strength.

Then, the Fairy of Fragrance took out the Ruyi and handed it to Ruan Hu.

Ruan Hu was taken aback, then he thought of the way Miao Xiang Tian Nu had used her lightning whip to make the white-clad goddess moan softly.

"Ok?"

Is this someone making me do it?

Perhaps that's not a good idea?

Miaoxiang Tiannv: "Later, Baigu Shen will communicate with the white-headed donkey through human sacrifices and ceremonies. Your Majesty's mind will follow her deep into Fenghuang Mountain to lead the white-headed donkey down the mountain."

“If the White Maiden Goddess makes any unusual moves, in addition to chanting incantations, this item can also be used to deal with her.”

Ruan Hu nodded: "Oh, I see."
