Ghost Catching System

Uttering this sentence was evidently an admission.

”Ding… Host has completed the task, exposing Feng Xiaoxiao’s identity, gaining 500,000 Experience Points.”

Though meager, every little bit helped.

Chu Hao obviously wouldn’t admit how he knew, as that would mean confessing he had been peeping. He said, ”Within the Three Realms, among the five elements, nothing can escape the Dharma Eye of this Taoist Master. You, this minor Ghost Demon, what are you worth?”

Feng Xiaoxiao’s face turned unsightly; the expression of the Painted Skin Ghost was indeed vivid and lifelike.

Shangguan Moyue took a deep breath. Although the Painted Skin Ghost had emerged, Chu Hao’s arrival was a complication. What should he do?

”Painted Skin Ghost, come with me, and I can guarantee your safety,” Shangguan Moyue could only say.

Chu Hao turned his head and said, ”I haven’t spoken yet. Who the hell do you think you are?”

Shangguan Moyue clenched his teeth and said, ”I don’t know who you are, but this Painted Skin Ghost must come with me. If you obstruct me, then witness the strength of the Shangguan Family!”

Chu Hao walked towards him and said, ”Come at me.”

Shangguan Moyue felt a sudden tightness in his chest. Still, he took off his shirt, revealing his impressively strong muscles beneath his tank top. On his left arm was a Qilin tattoo, composed of dense talisman inscriptions.

Shangguan Moyue sneered, ”I’m no ordinary man, boy! Encountering me will be the greatest regret of your life.”

Chu Hao paused, then said with interest, ”Qilin Arm?”

Indeed, it was the Qilin Arm, the Shangguan Family’s Qilin Arm, formed from talisman inscriptions. That was why the people of this lineage possessed tremendous strength and were known as the fourth family among the Nine Gates of Huaxia.

Shangguan Moyue’s fingers formed seals, and the inscription on the Qilin Arm turned fiery red, as a Qilin seemed to come alive in a terrifying form.

Shangguan Moyue charged at Chu Hao, bellowing, ”Die!”

That punch could undoubtedly pierce a stone wall. However, Chu Hao didn’t dodge. Instead, showing interest, he also threw a punch.

BANG!

Fists collided; it was the Qilin Arm against Inner Strength. Yet, the one who flew backward was Shangguan Moyue, his entire arm broken.

Shangguan Moyue screamed as the bones in his arm snapped through the flesh, shattered by a single punch.

Feng Xiaoxiao was horrified, the crowd gasped, and the members of the Shangguan Family exclaimed in shock.

A youth from the Shangguan Family shouted, ”I... I know who he is now! Chu Hao! He’s Chu Hao!”

Indeed, it was the famous Chu Hao—the one who killed Jiang Yuran, the terrifying young Taoist Master who had challenged both Longhu Mountain and Mao Mountain!

Having his identity revealed, outsiders might not know Chu Hao, but how could the Shangguan Family, who were within the circle, not recognize him?

Shangguan Moyue felt like crying. The world was so big, and on this tiny yacht amid the vast ocean, he had somehow encountered this Killing Star. He truly hadn’t consulted the almanac before leaving home today.

As for Chu Hao, even though his identity was exposed, he remained unfazed. Waving his hand indifferently and with a domineering voice, he said, ”That’s right, I’m Chu Hao. Anyone got a problem with that?”

”Ding… Host’s climactic display of pretentiousness has earned 700 Pretentiousness Points.”

Shangguan Moyue’s insides turned green with regret. He actually tried to act tough in front of Chu Hao! What was he thinking?!

Shangguan Moyue yelled out in alarm, ”Chu Hao! We... we have no grudges! Let us go, and we won’t trouble you anymore.”

Chu Hao laughed. ”No grudges? You say that as if it were true. Doesn’t your Shangguan Family want my blood to open King Chu’s Tomb?”

Shangguan Moyue’s cold sweat poured down. He had wanted to threaten, ’Do you intend to make an enemy of the Shangguan Family?’ but he swallowed the words. Chu Hao dared to confront both Mao Mountain and Longhu Mountain; what was the Shangguan Family in comparison? It was better not to bring trouble upon himself.

Chu Hao addressed Xiang Jian, ”Take good care of them.”

Xiang Jian shouted excitedly and gestured to his men, who approached Shangguan Moyue with ferocious expressions.

”No... no, please don’t!” The people of the Shangguan Family screamed miserably.

The screams were incessant as Xiang Jian and his men beat them brutally, pounding them nearly to death’s door.

Chu Hao had no intention of telling them to stop, so they continued to beat them mercilessly.

It made sense. Shangguan Moyue’s earlier words had enraged these burly men. He had suggested feeding everyone here to that monster—utterly cruel. One couldn’t afford to be merciful or soft-hearted when dealing with such a person.

Poor Shangguan Moyue, though bulky and solidly built, was not tough enough to withstand the group’s furious beating and was actually beaten to death!

As for Feng Xiaoxiao, Chu Hao had no plans for her to leave. The mission indicated ’capture her alive,’ which must be the key to triggering a hidden quest.

Feng Xiaoxiao turned to run.

”Thinking of running!”

A True Word Brush appeared in Chu Hao’s hand. He wrote a sealing character, which blocked all surrounding passageways, leaving her no place to flee.

With no other choice, Feng Xiaoxiao decided to make a desperate attempt. It detached from the human skin it wore, like a cicada shedding its shell, moving incredibly fast toward Luo Yan.

But Chu Hao wouldn’t let it succeed.

This little demon, besides being good at disguises, wasn’t very strong in combat.

So, Chu Hao dashed forward and kicked it, sending it flying. The Painted Skin Ghost writhed in pain on the ground, trembling all over.

Everyone looked. The Painted Skin Ghost’s appearance was extremely ugly, resembling a little old lady, merely one meter tall.

”Is this the monster?” The people on the yacht peeked out curiously.

The true form of the Painted Skin Ghost was hideous. According to ancient legends, she was an ugly woman who fancied a handsome and elegant scholar. However, the scholar spurned her for her ugliness and found a woman as beautiful as a flower instead. Consumed by intense jealousy and rage, the Painted Skin Ghost began practicing evil techniques, skinning beautiful women and wearing their skins to take revenge on men.

At the scene, one person vomited on the spot. It was Fan Qizhen. He screamed, ”Fuck! I was actually sleeping with this monster all this time! Heavens above!”

Everyone was speechless. Speaking of which, him sleeping with a man is the truly disgusting thing, isn’t it?

Moreover, even Chu Hao felt disgusted. This damn thing actually wanted to sleep with Brother Hao in the car today.

At this thought, Chu Hao’s hairs stood on end. He kicked out and cursed, ”Did you kill Feng Xiaoxiao?”

The Painted Skin Ghost, trembling uncontrollably, said in an extremely hoarse voice, ”Yes! Please don’t kill me... I... I’m also a pitiful creature.”

Those unaware, seeing its current state, might find it pitiable. But this creature was insidious and cunning, specializing in hunting beautiful women. If Chu Hao hadn’t come along this time, Luo Yan would likely have been in danger.

Chu Hao said, ”System, buy a Demon-catching Talisman.”

”Ding… Host has purchased a Demon-catching Talisman, consuming 1000 Pretentiousness Points.”

A regular-grade Demon-catching Talisman was sufficient to capture the Painted Skin Ghost.

In his hand, a white talisman appeared. He recited the incantation: ”Heaven and earth share the same root! Laws in nine chapters! I now command, all ghosts shall cower! Swift as the decree!”

The talisman struck the Painted Skin Ghost, instantly sucking it inside. On the white talisman paper, an image of the Painted Skin Ghost appeared.
