Ghost Catching System

Chu Hao walked in and discovered a hidden paradise, flourishing with weeds and vines, yet it held a unique charm.

Here, Chu Hao felt his mind and spirit refreshed; this must be the depiction of the spiritually rich Futian Cave from the Ancient Desolate Scripture.

This was an excellent place. If an ordinary ghost stayed here for a while, it would definitely become a terrifying Ghost.

If it were a demon, that would be even more frightening. It would certainly become a being of the Greater Demon level.

Chu Hao followed onward, surrounded by flowers and grass, giving him a sensation of venturing deep into a forest wonderland.

Further inside was a spacious hall, where he saw the Heavenly Bone Woman.

Upon a stone platform, where vines formed a nest resembling a tree bed, lay a silver bone shard, quietly resting as if it had awaited its master for a thousand years.

The palm-sized silver bone shard, engraved with ancient symbols, was undoubtedly left by the Heavenly Bone Woman. Chu Hao could feel a wave of power emanating from it.

Unable to contain his curiosity, Chu Hao asked, ”Great Immortal Bai Gu, what is this?”

The Heavenly Bone Woman replied indifferently, ”Ancestral Bone.”

”I don’t understand.”

The Heavenly Bone Woman didn’t explain further. She took the Ancestral Bone and placed it into her chest. The silver Ancestral Bone fused into her body as she sat cross-legged, seemingly merging with it.

Seeing this, Chu Hao wondered if his opportunity had come.

He could hardly contain his excitement. This might be the perfect chance to eliminate her because the Heavenly Bone Woman appeared extremely weak at the moment.

But, was it really that simple?

Still, Chu Hao felt it was best to be cautious. He used the Devil Mask to check her combat power and discovered it had increased from 25,000 to 26,000!

Chu Hao: ”...”

27,000!

28,000!

29,000!

30,000...

And it kept rising continuously. What Chu Hao saw next was just a series of question marks.

System: ”The mission to seal or kill the Heavenly Bone Woman has been canceled.”

System: ”A Black Iron Level Mission has been issued to seal or kill the Heavenly Bone Woman, with the reward being multiplied.”

Oh my god!

Not SS-Level, but straight to Black Iron Level!

Good thing I’m clever; if it weren’t for the Devil Mask allowing me to check her combat power, I almost acted impulsively just now.

That Ancestral Bone must be an item that can greatly enhance the Heavenly Bone Woman’s power.

Chu Hao couldn’t help but think, ”System, what rewards come with a Black Iron Level Mission?”

System: ”With the Host’s current strength, this System cannot provide accurate information.”

Alright then.

I get a headache just looking at S-Level, let alone a Black Iron Level that’s beyond SS-Level!

Chu Hao said solemnly, ”Great Immortal Bai Gu, I will protect you.”

Then, he sat down around ten meters away from the Heavenly Bone Woman, feigning a vigilant guard over his surroundings.

The Heavenly Bone Woman was merging with the Ancestral Bone. The phase when she deliberately weakened her aura was to test Chu Hao. If he couldn’t resist attacking her, she would not hesitate to kill him.

Chu Hao’s actions took the Heavenly Bone Woman by surprise. It wasn’t because she was moved, but because she found this young man more interesting than Zhang Daoling of old.

Zhang Daoling had always wanted to run away and constantly thought about ambushing her, but Chu Hao was different.

Three hours later, Chu Hao dozed off. After traveling day and night, he was extremely sleepy and lay down on the ground, falling asleep.

In his dream, Chu Hao dreamt of Yi Qinglian and Diao Chan. The two girls were fussing over him, one on his left and one on his right; it was a most delightful feeling.

”Baby Qinglian, Baby Diao Chan, come give me a kiss, MWAH.”

But suddenly! The Heavenly Bone Woman’s stunning face appeared, and Chu Hao instantly couldn’t continue kissing. She brutally killed both girls and tossed their bloodied heads in front of him.

The Heavenly Bone Woman said, ”You belong only to me.”

This was more shocking than seeing a ghost! Chu Hao was scared awake. When he opened his eyes, he saw a face of stunning beauty. Who else could it be but the Heavenly Bone Woman?

Chu Hao let out a loud scream, fearfully backing away.

The Heavenly Bone Woman said coldly, ”What did you just say?”

Chu Hao stammered, ”I... What did I say?”

He was a bit confused. Was he too tired, still dreaming?

The Heavenly Bone Woman’s expression was as cold as frost, yet it concealed an imperceptible cold sharpness as she continued, ”Who are Qinglian and Diao Chan?”

No way!

Brother Hao actually blurted out the names of the two women in his sleep! This... what was the point of even trying anymore?

Chu Hao reacted quickly, saying resentfully, ”They are my sworn enemies.”

”Really?”

Chu Hao hurriedly said, ”Really! If I lie, may lightning strike me dead, may I die a horrible death!”

The Great Immortal Bai Gu said, ”Fine. If you meet them next time, I’ll help you kill them. I’ve said it before, you belong to me.”

Am I... an idiot?

Why, of all things, did I have to say they were enemies?

Chu Hao was so frustrated he wanted to slap himself. He quickly said, ”No need! I will avenge this feud myself. These two must be killed by my own hands.”

The Heavenly Bone Woman nodded, then walked outside, leaving behind the silhouette of her voluptuous figure.

Chu Hao followed her and realized that after the Heavenly Bone Woman had fused with the Ancestral Bone, she had become even more unfathomable. If it came down to it now, she could probably kill him in one round.

Chu Hao felt helpless. He had missed the best chance. Sealing or killing her was obviously impossible now.

After leaving the White Bone Cave, the middle-aged driver was waiting outside, exhausted and dozing off.

Chu Hao asked, ”Great Immortal Bai Gu, where to now? Are we looking for Zhang Daoling?”

The Heavenly Bone Woman pondered and said, ”No need.”

It was baffling. She had previously wanted to kill all living beings to find Zhang Daoling, so why not now?

”He has already reincarnated.”

So that’s how it is. But how did you know?

The Heavenly Bone Woman stared at Chu Hao, her tone extremely icy and tinged with a hint of killing intent. ”You resemble him a lot. I am wondering if you are the reincarnation of Zhang Daoling.”

Chu Hao’s hairs stood on end. ”No, absolutely not! How could I possibly be the reincarnation of that bastard?”

The Heavenly Bone Woman turned her head and said, ”It seems necessary to make a trip to the Underworld. Before the Three Life Stone, we will know for sure if you are Zhang Daoling’s reincarnation.”

Chu Hao broke out in a cold sweat.

”Then... where are we going now?”

Night had fallen. Moonlight cast its glow across the land, and the stars were set against the dark canvas, sparkling like diamonds.

Gazing at the starry night sky, the Heavenly Bone Woman mused, ”No matter how magnificent and peerless one is, in the end, they are but a pile of yellow earth. The world’s prosperity and desolation, in my eyes, are nothing more than fleeting clouds.”

Chu Hao took a sharp breath. Those words carried such gravitas!

”Only by becoming immortal can I escape this loneliness.”

Such ambition! Chu Hao thought.

”Take me to see this world and search for the opportunity to become immortal.”

Weren’t all these just passing clouds? You should be heading to the Heavenly Court; the Yang Realm can’t contain you!

Of course, Chu Hao dared not say this out loud and told the middle-aged driver to drive.

”Where to now?” the middle-aged driver asked blankly as he stared at the Heavenly Bone Woman.

Chu Hao cursed inwardly. This guy must have a death wish! Even I don’t dare to stare at the Heavenly Bone Woman like that.

”Back to Anli City.”

”Oh.”
