Ghost Catching System

The task was extremely generous, and since the System determined that Experience Points were of no use to Chu Hao at the moment, it granted him something else.

My System is just that awesome.

Chu Hao led the way in the patrol car, holding the Compass and pointing down the road ahead.

Soon, they arrived near a row of ancient buildings and mansions. They had thought the Ghost Mother would be hiding in some remote location, but this place was extraordinarily conspicuous.

Quickly, the Compass ceased shaking, its needle pointing to an ancient building not far away with the words ”Ghost Cultivation Hall” written on it.

Gao Jingshou’s eyes widened as he said in a shrill voice, ”No way! It’s actually here.”

Clearly, the Ghost Cultivation Hall was a gathering place for Fengdu’s Ghost Cultivators, who were quite special there. The hall also served as the registration and receiving spot for them.

Gao Jingshou immediately ordered, ”Surround this place.”

The Ghost Officiants began to act. They were all very distinct, wielding iron chains, and some even held weapons resembling guns and crossbows, appearing quite lethal.

”Ghost Mother inside, listen up! You are surrounded. Surrender immediately,” Gao Jingshou shouted.

Suddenly, a Ghost Officiant cried out, ”Upstairs!”

Indeed, the Ghost Mother was looking out coldly from a window on the upper floor.

The Ghost Officiants had a bad feeling. If the Ghost Mother was here, why weren’t any of the Ghost Cultivators from inside the hall coming out?

A few Ghost Officiants broke in, but after a short while, screams erupted from inside.

Soon, several Ghost Officiants ran out, their faces deathly pale, their legs barely able to support them.

”Dead! All the Ghost Cultivators inside are dead!” a terrified Ghost Officiant stammered, his hands trembling.

They were all dead.

Gao Jingshou’s face turned pale. This was big trouble.

At that moment, the Ghost Mother saw Chu Hao. Her eyes bled with hatred as she charged out of the ancient building and landed on the ground, carrying a Ghost’s head in her hand, undoubtedly dead.

Chu Hao immediately noticed that the Ghost Mother seemed to have regained quite a bit of her strength.

”Living person, you’re seeking death.”

The Ghost Mother was seriously pissed. She hadn’t yet dealt with Chu Hao, and here he was, bringing so many Ghost Officiants to her.

Chu Hao felt a bit uneasy. It was clear the Ghost Mother had recovered a lot of her strength; otherwise, she wouldn’t have suddenly come to kill Ghost Cultivators. He activated a combat power appraisal. Question marks appeared above the Ghost Mother’s head.

This Ghost Mother is too terrifying.

Gao Jingshou looked at Chu Hao, now somewhat unsure whether Chu Hao had really injured the Ghost Mother as he claimed.

Chu Hao pretended to be calm and said coolly, ”Ghost Mother, no matter where you hide, this Taoist Master can still find you. If I could seriously injure you once, I can do it a second time. In the presence of this master, you are nothing but an ant.”

”Ding... Host has successfully bluffed, receiving 900 Pretentiousness Points.”

Hearing Chu Hao’s words, the Ghost Officiants were even more certain that the Ghost Mother was indeed injured. They also gained a deeper understanding of Chu Hao’s strength.

How powerful must a Taoist Master be to seriously injure a Ghost King?

The Ghost Mother was livid. This kid is bluffing! I wasn’t hurt by him! How infuriating!

Flying into a rage, she unleashed terrifying Ghost Qi, sweeping out like a storm as she screamed, ”I will kill you and consume your soul!”

Chu Hao waved his hand, appearing unfazed on the surface, but he took a half step back. ”Why so arrogant?” he said. ”This Taoist Master disdains to lift a finger against an injured ghost. Gao Jingshou! What are you waiting for? Don’t you want to achieve merit?”

Snapping back to reality, Gao Jingshou quickly gave the command, ”Take her down!”

Ghost Officiants from all directions took action, armed with weapons designed to deal with rebellious ghosts from Fengdu.

A crossbow bolt shot out, and the Ghost Mother swerved her head to dodge. With a fierce expression, she said, ”Even the Ghost Officiants cannot stop me.”

In the Yang Realm, she had encountered Ghost Officiants before. Once, they attempted to capture her, but she killed two of them. She knew that going to the Underworld would not end well for her. So, despite being wanted, she had always managed to escape.

Having survived for so long, the Ghost Mother was certainly not to be underestimated.

The Ghost Mother charged forward. Her speed was so fast that only an afterimage remained as her Ghost Qi swept through like a storm.

The Ghost Officiants were well-prepared. The front row took out Ancient Shields, holding them in front to form a barrier.

The Ghost Mother’s sharp claws ripped through the void and crashed against the Ancient Shields.

A loud BANG resounded as the terrifying force exploded in the air. However, the combined strength of the Ancient Shields was considerable, and the Ghost Mother couldn’t break through them at that moment.

Gao Jingshou was overjoyed. ”She really is injured! Take her down!”

Ordinary Ghost Kings couldn’t be stopped by these Ancient Shields at all.

Several Ghost Officiants threw out Soul Hooking Claws, locking onto the Ghost Mother’s head, torso, and all four limbs, immobilizing her.

The Ghost Mother went mad. Her strength was indeed not what it used to be. Even though she had killed many Ghost Cultivators and absorbed their Ghost Qi, she was still far from being a Ghost King.

A Ghost Officiant, over two meters tall with two sharp fangs protruding from his mouth, wielded a sledgehammer. He charged forward and brought it down fiercely.

BOOM!

The heavy blow struck the Ghost Mother’s head with a sickening CRUNCH.

Chu Hao was thrilled. That sledgehammer blow looked so painful! Even the powerful Ghost Mother couldn’t possibly withstand it, could she?

But then, a horrifying scene unfolded. As the sledgehammer crashed down, half of the head shattered—it wasn’t her true body, but the Ghost Lady’s!

Blood streamed down the Ghost Mother’s face as her eyes glared at the Ghost Officiant.

The infuriated Ghost Officiant raised the sledgehammer to strike again.

The Ghost Mother tilted her head back and shrieked. The terrifying sound wave penetrated their very souls, causing the Ghost Officiants to cover their ears, their heads splitting in agony.

The Ghost Mother was terrifyingly, immensely powerful. She grabbed the iron chains of the Soul Hooking Claws that bound her and, with a mighty heave, flung them aside.

One after another, the Ghost Officiants were thrown aside. The Ghost Mother finally disengaged from the Ghost Lady’s body. Like a wild beast, she pounced on the two-meter-tall Ghost Officiant, bit into his neck, and ripped it open with savage force.

The large Ghost Officiant screamed in agony, his hands grappling to pull the Ghost Mother off. Instead, she gripped his arms and with a mighty pull, tore off the Ghost Officiant’s arms!

Chu Hao and the many other Ghost Officiants watched, their hair standing on end at the sheer brutality.

The large Ghost Officiant fell to the ground. He was brutally bitten to death by the Ghost Mother, who then ate half of his head.

Ghosts eating ghosts—this scene unfolding before their eyes terrified both Chu Hao and the Ghost Officiants.

The Ghost Mother’s face was twisted, her mouth full of sharp teeth with bits of the Ghost Officiant’s flesh stuck between them. Her Ghost Qi flowed around her like a torrent, chilling them to the bone.

A high-ranking Law Enforcement Ghost Messenger shouted, ”Heaven and Earth Net!”

Several Ghost Officiants pulled nets from their waistbands. These resembled fishing nets and were thrown to instantly entangle the Ghost Mother. She struggled fiercely.

This was no ordinary net; it was specially designed for capturing ghosts. The more a ghost struggled, the tighter the net would constrict, binding them ever more securely.

Multiple nets fell upon the Ghost Mother, and she roared in rage.

Several Ghost Officiants, armed with Soul Hooking Claws, rushed forward to bind her soul, preventing her from breaking free.

Chu Hao knew his opportunity had arrived. If not now, when?
