Ghost Catching System

The silver-haired youth saw Chu Hao looking at him. Chu Hao wore no expression, yet his handsome features ignited envy.

But! The moment their eyes met, an intense aura surged, making the air around them even colder, as if suffocating.

The silver-haired youth smiled faintly and continued looking down at the items in Sanqing Pavilion.

”DING. The Host’s display of cold, formless pretentiousness has earned 500 Pretentiousness Points.”

Huh... When did I act pretentious?

Everything around was very quiet as everyone waited for Chu Hao to speak. His expression was so indifferent that even Qin Boren and Cao Shanhe felt a chilling aura.

Was this an aura a normal person should possess?

To their horror, everyone realized that no one truly understood the current Chu Hao at all.

Qin Boren’s heart pounded wildly. The intense aura between the two was startling, and he was even more astonished. This kind of person is on a completely different level from ordinary people like us! He was now even more determined not to let slip any opportunity to win Chu Hao over.

He put on a stern face and said to Qin Yishan, ”Go. Within three minutes, I want all the information on this person.”

Qin Yishan nodded, ”Yes, Grandpa Qin.”

Cao Shanhe asked Liu Qingyan, ”How long before we can get hold of Jiang Zhewen’s information?”

Liu Qingyan was already on the phone and said, ”Uncle Cao, two and a half minutes.”

Cao Shanhe smiled slightly and looked at Qin Boren, saying, ”Good, then let’s wait.”

Damn it!!

How terrifying! These were the figures in Anli City who could blot out the sky with one hand; getting rid of someone was simply too easy for them.

Jiang Zhewen was completely despondent. He looked at Wenmi in horror, saying, ”Wenmi, save me! I’ll never dare do it again. I’ll disappear from Anli City immediately.”

Wenmi felt helpless. Jiang Zhewen, aren’t you courting death?

Who were Qin Boren and Cao Shanhe? Both had long wanted to draw Chu Hao to their side.

Considering they were once husband and wife, she looked at Chu Hao and said, ”Ah-Hao, please let him off this time.”

Chu Hao waved his hand, not wanting to bother with such a fly right now. ”Scram,” he said. ”And don’t ever appear before me again.”

Jiang Zhewen scurried and scrambled away, probably needing to switch cities from now on.

The two big shots of Anshan Dragon felt helpless. However, looking at the people around Chu Hao, they thought that perhaps they needed to focus on building good relations with them instead.

These two cunning old foxes each had their own schemes in mind.

This incident didn’t affect Sanqing Pavilion’s business, which was booming. To date, they had received twelve supernatural cases.

At this moment, the silver-haired youth walked over. He was very handsome, exuding a chilly temperament. With a light smile, he said, ”You are Chu Hao, right?”

People looked at the silver-haired youth, surprised and uneasy at the strange and slightly sinister vibe he gave off.

Chu Hao glanced at him indifferently and replied, ”I am.”

The silver-haired youth reached out his hand in a gentlemanly manner and introduced himself, ”My name is Emperor Bai Jiang, cult leader of the Nether Cult.”

Emperor Bai Jiang? The mysterious and elusive cult leader of the Nether Cult?

No one knew who this cult leader was or if anyone had ever seen him. Even Dong Qi and Liang Qian usually only communicated with the deputy cult leader and had never met the true cult leader of the Nether Cult.

Chu Hao’s expression became somewhat unnatural. This guy’s name certainly has flair, he thought.

Dong Qi and Liang Qian were both startled, looking at the silver-haired youth with terror in their eyes.

The cult leader of the Nether Cult had appeared!

Regarding the cult leader of the Nether Cult, they only knew that he had single-handedly ascended to Mao Mountain’s Taoism and killed an elder of ancestral master caliber, causing a sensation throughout Huaxia.

Moreover, it was rumored that he possessed one of the Seven Treasures: the Yin Yang Mirror.

The Yin Yang Mirror was a very powerful magic artifact in the Yang Realm. It was said that even Ox-Head and Horse-Face and Black and White Impermanence from the Underworld had to flee upon seeing it.

They never imagined that the cult leader of the Nether Cult would appear in such a manner.

Chu Hao looked at the hand extended toward him and reached out as well. The two shook hands for the first time.

Chu Hao said indifferently, ”So you are the cult leader of the Nether Cult. I’ve been looking for you for some time now.”

A smile played at the corners of Emperor Bai Jiang’s mouth as he said, ”Oh! You’re looking for me?”

Chu Hao said, ”You make me very uncomfortable.”

”I know you’re uncomfortable,” Emperor Bai Jiang replied, ”but this Cult Leader is also quite uncomfortable.”

The tension between these two was simply too thick, causing the people around them to instinctively back away. The aura they exuded was just too overwhelming, and everyone felt an immense, formless pressure.

At that moment, a tremendous force came from Emperor Bai Jiang’s hand, as if trying to crush Chu Hao’s hand.

Chu Hao was inwardly astonished, but a cold smile touched the corner of his mouth, and he put strength into his own hand as well.

This was more than a handshake; the clash of two powerful auras subjected the bystanders to terrifying pressure.

How could ordinary people endure the aura of the mighty?

Moreover, the moment the two shook hands, a burst of inner strength erupted, like a strong magnetic field with positive and negative poles, causing surrounding objects to tremble.

Emperor Bai Jiang was also a master of inner strength!

The bystanders were already dumbstruck. No one dared to come closer, not even by an inch. Even the two big shots from Anli City were tremendously shocked.

Emperor Bai Jiang was secretly astonished, but he quickly calmed down and said, ”I’ve come this time to take those two away.”

Dong Qi and Liang Qian looked at Chu Hao, an ominous premonition gripping their hearts.

Chu Hao laughed, his tone mocking. ”Do you think that’s possible? Since they’ve submitted to me, they are my people. If you want to take them away, you can try it—with your life.”

It had to be said, Chu Hao’s words were incredibly domineering. Emperor Bai Jiang was also taken aback for a moment and looked at Chu Hao with considerable interest.

”I can leave those two alone, but you have to agree to one condition of mine. Perhaps it could even save them,” Emperor Bai Jiang said playfully, as if he were observing intriguing prey.

Chu Hao replied just as playfully, ”Does this Taoist Master need to agree to any conditions from you? Who do you think you are?”

This!

Dong Qi and Liang Qian were immensely shocked. Even when facing the cult leader of the Nether Cult, Chu Hao still showed him no deference whatsoever.

Emperor Bai Jiang grew slightly angry. This kid was arrogant, unlike anyone he had encountered before. He said, ”Have you thought this through? Are you determined to oppose me?”

Chu Hao waved his hand dismissively and said with a cold laugh, ”If others do not offend me, I shall not offend them. You had your people mess with me, so why can’t I mess with you? It’s called reciprocity. So... how would you like to die?”

”DING. The Host successfully acted pretentiously, gaining 500 Pretentiousness Points.”

Emperor Bai Jiang was at a loss for words; this person was not scared of him at all.

Or is he just some reckless brat?

Yet, facing Chu Hao, he distinctly had the feeling—for the first time—that he had met his match.

Emperor Bai Jiang waved his hand, and a bronze mirror materialized. It was engraved with ancient runes. He aimed it forward, and a pitch-black spatial passage appeared.

Dong Qi’s eyes bulged as he exclaimed, ”The Yin Yang Mirror!”

Emperor Bai Jiang said coldly, ”This Cult Leader would also like to test your strength. If you have the guts, come inside.”

Saying this, he stepped into the spatial passage and disappeared from sight.

An actual living person had truly vanished.

The surrounding customers were dumbfounded, thinking it was some kind of entertainment show.

Yi Qinglian came over, tugging at Chu Hao’s sleeve. ”Chu Hao, don’t go,” she said.

Liang Qian hurried over, saying urgently, ”Master Chu, don’t go! That’s the power of the Yin Yang Mirror. If I’m not mistaken, this passage most likely leads to the Underworld.”

To the Underworld!!
