Ghost Catching System

Two rare items merging into one required high Pretentiousness Points, but Chu Hao did not hesitate to choose the merger.

”Merge.”

”Ding... Merge successful. Host has obtained the Magic Pupil Mask.”

Chu Hao quickly checked the attributes of the Magic Pupil Mask, feeling a wave of ecstasy.

Item: Magic Pupil Mask

Rarity: ★★★

Ability One: Change one’s own aura—human, ghost, demon (melds onto the face, can disappear and be worn at will).

Ability Two: Appraise combat power, using numerical values as the standard (unable to appraise if the entity’s combat power exceeds three times that of the Host).

What a fantastic item! Chu Hao exclaimed softly.

Aside from altering one’s aura, it could also appraise the combat power of ghosts and monsters. That was just too awesome.

Chu Hao took out the Devil Mask. It was a sinister, blood-red mask with a cunning and sly expression, so lifelike that one glance at it made you feel the danger and an increased sense of oppression.

Once Chu Hao put it on his face, he immediately felt the mask merging with his skin; with just a thought, the mask could vanish or appear at any time.

Chu Hao looked towards Diao Chan, who displayed a combat power of 8,000.

And what about myself?

System: ”Host’s base combat power is 5,000; with the Night Demon Blade, it is 8,500.”

Chu Hao was surprised. So Baby Diao Chan is this powerful.

With a wave of his hand, the Devil Mask disappeared from sight, although it was still on his face, ready to appear at any moment when he willed it to.

The Ghost Dao Sect in the villa was completely eradicated, and the 7th District of Longxi City was overjoyed.

The person in charge of the 7th District of Longxi City arrived, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline. Upon seeing Chu Hao, he said excitedly, ”Master Chu, I have long admired your great name.”

Chu Hao gestured dismissively and asked, ”I’d like to know, how long can these people be held?”

The person in charge was unassuming. After all, Chu Hao had a formidable reputation and had completed a mission the Seventh District had sought to accomplish for years: the eradication of the Ghost Dao Sect. They had invested so much in this mission, and Chu Hao’s actions brought great satisfaction to everyone, winning their immense admiration and respect.

The person in charge smiled and said, ”These Ghost Sect Disciples are in deep trouble; there are special places for holding them. As for their followers, it depends on the extent of their crimes.”

Chu Hao nodded and said, ”Alright, then my work here is done. Goodbye.”

The person in charge hastily said, ”Please wait, Master Chu!”

He quickly took out a badge and said, ”Master Chu, this is the badge of the 7th District of Longxi City. With this, just one word from Master Chu, and we will be at your service.”

The person in charge continued, ”If Master Chu has time, I would like to invite you to the 7th District of Longxi City to serve as an instructor and teach the Exorcists there.”

Chu Hao accepted the badge readily and waved his hand. ”I don’t have time; Longxi City was just a stopover for me.” The person in charge looked disappointed.

After Chu Hao left, the person in charge was still in awe, saying, ”Such an incredible young man. Although he’s not from the Seventh District, he is a blessing for Huaxia.”

Ordinary citizens in Huaxia Country live peaceful lives, unaware that it’s because secret agents like them work tirelessly to ensure the nation’s peace and stability; otherwise, the Ghost Dao Sect would be rampant.

So, having someone like Chu Hao occasionally emerge to crush the might of the Ghost Dao Sect was more than welcome.

Watching Chu Hao’s departing figure, some people in the Seventh District were very excited. A girl, starry-eyed, said, ”He’s so handsome, like a knight-errant in the city.”

A young man with glasses pushed them up his nose and said admiringly, ”Absolutely! I so want to be his disciple.”

The incident in Longxi City caught the attention of the surrounding heretic sects.

Especially the Ghost Dao Sect, whose disciples, originally on their way, were ambushed by the Seventh District and caught red-handed.

The misfortunate Ghost Dao Sect was caught red-handed and lost two-tenths of its members. It was a crushing defeat. The others, after receiving the news, fled in disarray.

Now, rumors were spreading that the Seventh District aimed to annihilate the Ghost Dao Sect, to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, deterring those who commit numerous evil deeds through crooked and heretical ways.

Poor Ghost Dao Sect, pushed to the cusp of a storm, its hidden disciples grew increasingly restless.

The Ghost Path Sect Leader, upon receiving the news, was furious and rushed back to Huaxia Country overnight.

This loss was severe: an Elder was dead, many young disciples were gone, and even the carefully nurtured tycoons had been swept away in one swoop, severely damaging their vital energy.

At this moment, in a vast underground hall, a composed middle-aged man, with a hideous scar on the left side of his face and a mask on the right, asked coldly, ”Can anyone tell me what exactly has happened?”

The members of the Ghost Dao Sect all wore ugly expressions and dared not look at their Ghost Path Sect Leader.

Just then, one person stood up and said, ”Ghost Path Sect Leader, I have received information that the person impersonating the God of the Ghost Dao is Chu Hao from Anli City.”

Chu Hao!?

The people in the hall were shocked. This kid wasn’t content with staying in Anli City and actually came to Longxi City to wipe out their Ghost Dao Sect? Did this kid have nothing better to do?

The Ghost Path Sect Leader slammed his hand on the table and roared in anger, ”A mere child in possession of the True Word Brush has played you all for fools. What are you even good for?”

Dead silence fell upon the crowd.

The Ghost Path Sect Leader shouted furiously, ”Now, I want all members of the Ghost Dao Sect to put Chu Hao on the wanted list immediately. I want the True Word Brush!”

Someone said, ”Ghost Path Sect Leader, that... that kid is not easy to deal with.”

The Ghost Path Sect Leader waved his hand, and evil spirits appeared all around him, causing the air temperature to plummet instantly.

The evil spirits wrapped around the man who spoke, turning his face pale as if he had been frozen, until he cowered and trembled like a curled-up shrimp.

Everyone was shocked, looking at the Ghost Path Sect Leader with apprehension.

The Ghost Path Sect Leader said coldly, ”Those who offend my Ghost Dao Sect must be killed, by any means necessary.”

”Yes, yes,” the Ghost Sect Disciples nodded in agreement, one after another.

The Ghost Path Sect Leader snorted and continued, ”Starting now, whoever catches the target first and retrieves the True Word Brush will be awarded the Evil Spirit Bead by me.”

The crowd grew excited; the Evil Spirit Bead was a valuable item that boosted their morale tremendously.

It wasn’t just the heretical sects; some renowned orthodox sects also received the news, such as Mao Mountain’s Taoism and the Dragon Tiger Sect.

In addition, there were also the Nine Gates of Huaxia, including the Su and He Families.

The He Family, having heard that Chu Hao had single-handedly destroyed part of the Ghost Dao Sect’s forces, was secretly taken aback.

Upon learning the news, He Tao was beside himself with rage. The curse of being quartered alive had left him unable to care for himself, his body divided into several pieces, rendering him even more useless than a cripple.

”AHHH! I want revenge! I want revenge!”

He Tao went completely mad, hating Chu Hao to the core, secretly plotting his revenge.

「The Su Family.」

They were surprised upon receiving the news, and Su Changyu exclaimed, ”Worthy of coming from the once greatest of the Nine Gates, the exorcist family. But by being so high-profile, isn’t he afraid of retaliation from the Ghost Dao Sect?”

Chu Hao’s actions had caught the attention of many. Coupled with his possession of the True Word Brush, his reputation gradually spread within their circles.

At that moment, Su Qingqi entered and said, ”Grandpa, the Yan Family has taken notice of Chu Hao. Shouldn’t we take some measures?”

Su Changyu said with distress, ”Sigh... Chu Hao is being too high-profile. The Yan Family doesn’t know yet that he’s a descendant of the Chu Family, right?”

Su Qingqi shook her head and replied, ”They probably don’t know yet, but the Yan Family also has powerful metaphysical experts. If they investigate deeply, his exposure is just a matter of time.”

Su Changyu sighed.
