Ghost Catching System

The crowd was alarmed, and Yi Qinglian’s mother nearly fainted.

Chu Hao hastily said, ”Wait.”

A proud, radiant smile spread across the Forgetful Woman’s delicate and beautiful face, making her look both cute and cunning. She said, ”Throw the Soul Sealing Flute over here.”

Chu Hao took a deep breath. He couldn’t worry about it anymore. Even if Yi Qingcheng suffered a bit, if the Forgetful Woman were to succeed, wouldn’t everything be thrown into chaos?

Chu Hao said, ”System, exchange for the Soul Sealing Flute.”

”DING... Host has exchanged for the Soul Sealing Flute, gaining 30,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

”Purchase something to suppress the Forgetful Woman.”

”DING... Host has purchased the Ten Thousand Buddhas Soul Sealing Spell, spending 30,000 Pretentiousness Points. Remaining Pretentiousness Points: 7,400.”

The Soul Sealing Flute vanished the instant it was exchanged. Yi Qingcheng, in the distance, clutched her chest, her face slightly pale as she fainted.

Item: Ten Thousand Buddhas Soul Sealing Spell

Rarity: ★★★★

When the Forgetful Woman saw the Soul Sealing Flute disappear, she asked in astonishment, ”Where is the Soul Sealing Flute?”

Chu Hao said coldly, ”Old witch, I was just toying with you before. Now, let me show you what a real performance is.”

He sat cross-legged, formed a mudra with his hands, and began to recite the incantation of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Soul Sealing Spell.

”Countless celestial dragons and Aṣṭasenā, a million flaming Vajras supreme, cornered yesterday, today in Buddha’s realm, Pu’an has arrived, nothing is forbidden, eternally sealing the divine soul!”

As Chu Hao continued to recite the Buddhist incantation, an ancient Buddha with a compassionate expression materialized in the void behind him and began to chant as well.

Then, another ancient Buddha appeared, then another, one becoming two, two becoming four, four becoming eight, like multiplying clones, more and more appeared.

The golden, compassionate ancient Buddhas formed mudras and recited the Soul Curse. The sky blazed with brilliant golden light, as if legions of Sun Gods had descended!

The Forgetful Woman felt her soul tremble and her head split with pain. She collapsed to her knees, letting out an agonized growl.

”This... this is the Ten Thousand Buddhas Soul Sealing Spell!”

The Forgetful Woman’s expression became incredibly complex.

The Ten Thousand Buddhas Soul Sealing Spell was not only for sealing human and ghostly souls; its primary power was sealing divine souls.

Legend had it that the Ten Thousand Buddhas Soul Sealing Spell was created by Amitabha himself to seal a great demon ancestor. Never mind her, a mere Mysterious Girl Avatar; even a far stronger Mysterious Lady would likely be sealed by it.

As Chu Hao recited the incantation, the Forgetful Woman’s power was instantly weakened countless times over.

Inside the villa, everyone wore expressions of utter amazement. Behind Chu Hao, sacred ancient Buddhas materialized one after another, filling the void above. It was as if ten thousand Buddhas had descended upon the world—an overwhelmingly shocking scene.

What shocked them even more was that everyone present found themselves immobilized. A force akin to frozen time held them fast, leaving them able to do nothing but witness this miraculous scene with their own eyes.

Too powerful. Is this Chu Hao’s true strength?

”DING... Host has successfully shown off, gaining 900 Pretentiousness Points.”

”DING... Host has successfully shown off, gaining 900 Pretentiousness Points.”

”DING... Host has pulled off an extremely shocking display, gaining 1,800 Pretentiousness Points.”

Evidently, Chu Hao’s current strength wasn’t enough to summon ten thousand Buddhas. Nevertheless, the sight of hundreds of ancient Buddhas chanting to seal a soul was still an incredibly spectacular sight!

”DING... Host has consumed 2,000 Mana Points.”

”DING... Host has consumed 2,000 Mana Points.”

In mere seconds, the Forgetful Woman was on the verge of collapse, her consciousness starting to fade.

”Mortal, you just wait!” roared the Forgetful Woman.

Finally, she was sealed, unable to reappear for the time being.

Yi Qinglian slowly opened her eyes. She had finally regained consciousness and was aware of everything that had happened today.

She saw the man seated cross-legged not far away, blood streaming from his mouth, nose, ears, and eyes.

At this sight, Yi Qinglian’s tears flowed uncontrollably like a gushing spring. She wanted to cry out but couldn’t make a sound; her body was immobilized, held fast by some unseen force.

Chu Hao could not hold on any longer. After reciting the Ten Thousand Buddhas Soul Sealing Spell for over twenty seconds, and having depleted all his Mana Points, he had managed to seal the Forgetful Woman using the last vestiges of his willpower.

Chu Hao’s hands went limp. His head bowed slightly, still in a seated position, as he succumbed to unconsciousness.

”DING... Sealing task completed. Obtained a Nine Profound Ruyi Fragment.”

”DING... Sealing task completed. Earned 4,000,000 Experience Points.”

The System’s voice announced.

Item: Nine Profound Ruyi Fragment

Rarity: ★★★

Ability: Collect nine Nine Profound Ruyi Fragments to obtain the Nine Heavens Ruyi.

This thing obviously requires completing tasks for other Mysterious Ladies, but I have no idea what the Nine Heavens Ruyi is.

The moment Chu Hao fainted, everyone found they could move again. Their gazes turned to the lawn where the young man lay bleeding from his seven orifices. Yi Qinglian rushed to him, throwing herself onto his body and hugging him tightly.

This scene was deeply engraved in the hearts of everyone present.

After Chu Hao passed out, Yi Qinglian held him and wept bitterly. Yi Zhengjun and the others rushed over. ”Qinglian, is that you?” Yi Zhengjun asked excitedly.

”Dad, please save Chu Hao!”

Yi Zhengjun quickly picked up Chu Hao and shouted, ”Get the car ready! To the hospital!”

At that moment, several black cars arrived outside the Yi family’s villa. A group of men in black alighted, one of them Chen Taofen.

People from the Imperial City Seventh District had arrived.

As this was the Imperial Capital of Huaxia, the Imperial City Seventh District had a more extensive presence here.

Today, the Imperial City Seventh District had detected a strong surge of Ghost Qi at the Yi family’s residence and had rushed over.

Seeing Chu Hao unconscious, Chen Taofen was also shocked.

Chu Hao’s arrival in the Imperial Capital couldn’t have been unknown to the Imperial City Seventh District. Furthermore, the Emperor’s Yellow Seal he carried was linked to a significant event. However, since the higher-ups hadn’t issued an order for Chu Hao’s capture, they had been forced to let him be.

But just today, the higher-ups in the Imperial City Seventh District had issued an order to bring Chu Hao in.

Chen Taofen approached and said, ”We are from a special department of the Imperial City Seventh District. I’m taking custody of this person.”

Everyone was shocked.

The Imperial City Seventh District was a very special entity, its existence known only to a few.

Yi Qinglian, her eyes red from crying, said, ”No! I want to be there when Chu Hao wakes up.”

Chen Taofen reassured her, ”Don’t worry. The Imperial City Seventh District won’t let anything happen to him. They have the best medical facilities there.”

There was no choice; the Imperial City Seventh District’s authority was too absolute. They could only let its people take Chu Hao away.

Yi Qinglian wept sadly, not wanting them to take him.

At this time, Yi Qinglian’s grandfather spoke up, ”My dear girl, don’t worry. The Imperial City Seventh District doesn’t arrest people without reason. There must be something more to this.”

Since her grandfather had said so, Yi Qinglian could only acquiesce. If someone else had tried to take Chu Hao away, the Yi family would never have agreed. However, the Imperial City Seventh District was simply too exceptional.

The Imperial City Seventh District was an incredibly covert organization, similar to the ’Men in Black’ of legends—a group operating in the shadows, unknown to the general public.

When Chu Hao was taken into the Imperial City Seventh District, they began to treat his wounds.

Chu Hao’s injuries stemmed from severe overexertion of his body, but they generally weren’t a major concern.

When Chu Hao woke up, he found himself lying in a hospital bed. A burly man was sitting beside him – who else could it be but Chen Taofen?

”You’re awake!” Chen Taofen chuckled.

Chu Hao’s head throbbed. The expenditure this time had been immense. The Ten Thousand Buddhas Soul Sealing Spell was truly terrifying, capable of sealing even Divine Deities.
