Chapter 186 — The Youth Summons the Demon
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
The Hongshan Sect used thirteen people to perform this art, but I believe one person can perform it just as well — it is only a little more troublesome. " Yun Que hesitated: "If we summon a demon god and slaughter the great army of the Kingdom of Jingping, all nine branches of our clans will be exterminated. . .
" "Rest easy.
There must be some technique to summoning a demon god; it cannot simply be allowed to attack at random — otherwise even the summoner would die. " Shen Mu's eyes flickered, and he exhaled a turbid breath: "If I summon a demon god and turn it against Tianbo City, I think we can cut our way out in the chaos.
. . You keep watch on all sides and stay alert.
I will perform the rite. " The others hurriedly took up positions around the altar. Shen Mu took out the talisman treasures, read through the runes from one thousand and twenty-four planes once, committing them to memory, then studied the runes on the demon god statue, comparing them one by one.
After a long moment of thought, he began the rite. His primal qi burst forth, and threads of primal qi lifted the thirteen talisman treasures into the air around the demon god statue. Obscure and profound ancient words issued from his nose and mouth, and his primal qi began to drive the talisman treasures to change, making the runes upon them light up one by one, shining upon the demon god statue and igniting the runes branded all over its body. Shen Wanyun and the others were astonished.
The language from Shen Mu's mouth was not the language they spoke in daily life; it was somewhat similar to the tongue the Hongshan Sect used when summoning demons, but it seemed even more profound. "It is the demon tongue," Si Yunxiang said quietly.
The runes on the demon god statue lit up one after another.
To simultaneously control thirteen talisman treasures required memorizing more than a thousand runes and their positions; though Shen Mu had not yet fully mastered the Taixuan Calculation Classic, his powers of memory had advanced greatly, and he controlled them with ease. Half an hour passed, and most of the runes on the demon god statue had been lit by him. At the same time, as he chanted the demon tongue, he felt himself gradually establishing a connection through this statue with a certain being in another dark world deep in time and space. At this moment, a dozen or so Daoists arrived at Tianbo City carrying another demon god statue.
When Commander Lin Ding saw these Daoists, he hurried forward to meet them and smiled: "You gentlemen of the Hongshan Sect have come at just the right time. Your junior brothers and sisters are in the city summoning the demon — they have been at it for some time now. "
