Ghost Catching System

Dong Qi was also at Sanqing Pavilion. The moment he saw Ghost Princess, he froze, dumbfounded.

”Ghost Princess! What’s happened to you?”

Liang Qian’s face was filled with bitterness; she had resigned herself to her fate.

Dong Qi instantly understood and secretly wiped away some cold sweat. Did it have to be so intense? How had he subdued Ghost Princess so quickly?

Ghost Princess’s strength was on par with his own; she was the elf of the night. How on earth did Chu Hao find her?

What he didn’t know was that Ghost Princess had walked into the trap herself.

As a result, Dong Qi’s fear of Chu Hao deepened even further. With two of the Nether Cult’s twelve Great Protectors subdued, this was a huge blow to the Nether Cult.

Chu Hao said, ”You two, come with me.”

Dong Qi’s heart raced. Liang Qian, having accepted her fate, followed Chu Hao up to the third floor.

Chu Hao sat down on the sofa and asked, ”Where is the Nether Cult located?”

Both of them felt a jolt in their hearts. What did he want to do? Wipe out the Nether Cult in one fell swoop?

Liang Qian said, ”We don’t know either.”

Chu Hao looked at Liang Qian coldly. ”Are you messing with me?”

The color drained from Liang Qian’s face as she took a few steps back. She felt the immense pressure radiating from him, her fear of Chu Hao growing with each passing moment. If I had known this would happen, why did I provoke this monster?

Dong Qi broke out in a cold sweat and said, ”It’s... it’s true. The Nether Cult doesn’t have a fixed location. We communicate through a WeChat group.”

Chu Hao was somewhat dumbfounded. Evil Cults these days are so high-tech they even set up a group chat! Are you fucking kidding me?

Liang Qian nodded. ”The true location of the Nether Cult is very secret. Even we have only been there once, and we were blindfolded at the time, so we don’t actually know where it is. The Nether Cult controls its subordinates through a modern network, and our tasks are usually assigned by the Deputy cult leader in the group chat.”

”Damn!!” Chu Hao thought. An esteemed Nether Cult issuing tasks via a WeChat group? Could they be any more careless?

Chu Hao couldn’t help but ask, ”Are you sure you aren’t messing with me?”

The two of them looked helpless. If they were hearing this for the first time, they certainly wouldn’t believe it either.

But that was the reality, which was why the Nether Cult was so secretive that not even those from the reputable and orthodox sects could find their headquarters.

Dong Qi said, ”The only ones who truly know the location of the Nether Cult are the Cult leader and the Deputy cult leader.”

Chu Hao stroked his chin and asked, ”Can you lure out the Cult leader of the Nether Cult?”

Dong Qi and Liang Qian shook their heads. ”We can’t. The Cult leader has never shown himself. However, we often interact with the Deputy cult leader; he’s the one who assigns our tasks.”

Heh. So a WeChat group has you all under control? Isn’t that a bit too careless? Chu Hao mused. All those online novels with their WeChat groups and whatnot... Could the leader of the Nether Cult have been influenced by reading such novels too? That idea is actually pretty good.

Chu Hao said, ”Okay, then find the Deputy cult leader.”

Finding the Deputy cult leader could be difficult, they thought. He’s very well-informed. After what happened with Yao Hu and me, he would definitely sense the danger.

At that moment, Liang Qian’s and Dong Qi’s phones rang simultaneously.

They both glanced at their screens. ”Huh?”

A message appeared: ”The Taoist priceless relic, the True Word Brush, has appeared in Anli City, currently in possession of the Disciples of the Evil Cult, Chu Hao.”

Chu Hao’s phone also rang. The moment he saw the message, he was utterly dumbfounded.

Dong Qi’s face changed drastically. ”This isn’t good! The Nether Cult is cornered and acting desperately. They’re spreading the news that you possess the True Word Brush, Master!”

Holy shit, can they even play it like this? Chu Hao thought. Are they sure this isn’t some scam text message tactic? The key question is, who would believe it?

This message had clearly been sent in bulk; who knew how many people across the country had received it. Ordinary people wouldn’t understand its meaning, but those in the supernatural circles were a different story.

Chu Hao complained, ”What kind of crap is this Nether Cult? Is this how they usually spread their messages?”

Liang Qian nodded. ”We’re in the information age. Unless it’s something highly secret, most information is disseminated using technology.”

I learned something new today, Chu Hao thought. But however you look at it, this seems like a phishing scam—clever as hell. Isn’t it just so pretentious?

Liang Qian analyzed, ”Theoretically, the Nether Cult wouldn’t broadcast a message like this unless they no longer wanted the True Word Brush. However, there’s another possibility: Yao Hu might not be dead.”

Dong Qi nodded. ”Yao Hu has a method. He can extend his life using an Evil Technique.”

Survive even after stabbing his own heart? Chu Hao wondered.

Dong Qi sneered, ”However, Yao Hu won’t live long. His Evil Technique has a flaw. If he can’t collect the Seven Treasures, his soul will completely disperse within three years.”

Chu Hao waved his hand dismissively. ”Your task is to find the Deputy cult leader of the Nether Cult. I’ll handle everything else.”

Dong Qi hurriedly said, ”Master, there might be trouble now. Once the True Word Brush’s existence is exposed, people will come for you—not just members of the Evil Cult and Taoist practitioners, but others too.”

Chu Hao remained unconcerned, exuding a formidable aura that made him as unfathomable as a Grandmaster. ”The more the merrier. I was actually getting bored with no one causing me trouble.”

”DING... Host has successfully shown off, gaining 200 Pretentiousness Points.”

Being a Level 2 Pretentious Expert is amazing! Now, just a little showing off earns me two hundred points. One word: awesome!!

Dong Qi didn’t dare to speak.

Liang Qian’s wine-red pupils shone even brighter. Chu Hao was so formidable; if she seized this chance to follow him, her future would be limitless.

Chu Hao said, ”You can go out first.”

Dong Qi nodded repeatedly and hurried out of the room. Being around Chu Hao, he always felt a terrifying pressure.

Liang Qian trembled internally, unsure of what Chu Hao would do with her. If... if he wants my body, can I agree to it?

Chu Hao looked at her indifferently. ”You should blame yourself for provoking me first. I, the Taoist Master, am not one to let you off so easily.”

Liang Qian shivered, her chest heaving alluringly. Biting her red lip, she said, ”Master Chu, please spare me this time.”

Chu Hao pressed her, ”Spare you? Then where would I, the Taoist Master, put my face?”

Liang Qian’s breathing grew heavy. ”Master Chu, I am willing to be your maid. I hope for your mercy.”

Chu Hao stroked his chin. A maid, huh? That seems kind of interesting.

”I’ll give you a chance to redeem yourself. Find the Deputy cult leader of the Nether Cult,” Chu Hao said.

Liang Qian was ecstatic. As long as she could earn Chu Hao’s approval, everything would be fine, and her life would be secure.

Perhaps! By following Chu Hao, she might actually accomplish something significant, she thought.

After Liang Qian left, Chu Hao couldn’t help but reflect.

How unpredictable life is, he thought. It was only because Liang Qian got drunk that her identity was revealed. Thinking about it now, she was quite amusing.

He went downstairs and handed a business card to Yu Sicheng. ”This person wants to arrange a Ghost Marriage, and they’re offering a good price. Can you handle a Ghost Marriage?”

Yu Sicheng, an honest fellow, smiled. ”No problem, leave it to me.”

This was Sanqing Pavilion’s first business deal, and Yu Sicheng took it very seriously, even calling Wang Meng to help.

The moment Wang Meng heard there was business, he was thrilled, and the two of them set off immediately.
