Ghost Catching System

Diao Chan said earnestly, ”I have repaid what I owed to my adopted father. Chan’er is no longer the Diao Chan of the past. I only wish to follow Brother Chu closely. Wherever Brother Chu goes, Chan’er will follow.”

Upon hearing this, Chu Hao felt extremely touched. With such a woman by his side, he had no regrets in this life.

Chu Hao said seriously, ”Rest assured, if Lǚ Bù comes looking for you, trying to force you, Brother Hao will make sure he can’t get away with it.”

Diao Chan smiled sweetly, stepped forward to wrap her arms around Chu Hao’s arm, and gently leaned her head on his shoulder, like an obedient little kitten.

The three of them left Chuan Pavilion, but Chu Hao didn’t realize that someone else was watching him from the shadows. To his surprise, it was the Sword Star Lord.

After leaving the villa, Sword Star Lord was fearful of Bai Ling, but he harbored deep hatred towards Chu Hao. The Life Soul Pearl was equivalent to half my life, Sword Star Lord thought. Without it, how could I command respect in the Eye Digging Hell? He harbored intense hatred for Chu Hao, wishing he could take immediate action, but he still held back.

At the same time, beside Sword Star Lord were Yan Furong and Yan Chen, who were both terrified. They didn’t know what had happened, why Chu Hao was still fine, while Sword Star Lord was so furiously angry.

Sword Star Lord said angrily, ”Chu Hao! I will tear you to pieces.”

Yan Furong and Yan Chen grew even more wary of Chu Hao, wondering, What in the world did Chu Hao do to make the Jail Master so infuriated, yet completely powerless against him?

Yan Chen, who was full of ideas, thought for a moment and said respectfully, ”My lord, I have a way to deal with Chu Hao.”

Sword Star Lord turned around, stared intently at him, and demanded, ”Speak.”

Feeling the other man’s terrifying gaze, Yan Chen’s heart trembled, and he quickly said, ”If my lord finds it inconvenient to take action, we can let others deal with Chu Hao.”

He spoke carefully, not daring to offend Sword Star Lord in the slightest.

Yan Chen continued, ”Chu Hao has made many enemies in the Yang Realm with his arrogant nature, and he possesses a Taoist Treasure. Many covet what he has.”

Sword Star Lord frowned and asked, ”If that’s the case, why is he still fine?”

Yan Chen answered, ”Chu Hao doesn’t belong to any force. If the True Word Brush is taken by another power, then all forces in the Yang Realm would target whoever took the brush. That’s why nobody has acted rashly.”

Indeed, Longhu Mountain and Mao Mountain were examples of this. The True Word Brush was very important to them. If one side took it, the ancient Taoist orders would likely tear each other apart in war.

Sword Star Lord calmed down. I can’t go after Chu Hao myself, not with Bai Ling around. Besides, my time in the Yang Realm is running out.

In addition, Sword Star Lord had other thoughts. Bai Ling is very arrogant, isn’t she? Does she dare make an enemy of the entire Yang Realm?

Sword Star Lord said, ”Continue with your idea.”

Yan Chen was delighted. This was a chance he had longed for: to express his thoughts in front of the Underworld Jail Master. I hope he remembers me! he thought. He said, ”Actually, the last time we entered the ancient tomb together, Chu Hao obtained something called King Chu’s Seal.”

Sword Star Lord was taken aback and exclaimed, ”King Chu’s Seal!”

Yan Furong asked, ”My lord, do you know of this item?”

Sword Star Lord said gravely, ”That is not King Chu’s Seal at all, but the Emperor’s Yellow Seal.”

Sword Star Lord knew a few things about the past; the Emperor’s Yellow Seal had been handed down through successive generations of King Chu.

Yan Chen and Yan Furong were confused; they didn’t know what the Emperor’s Yellow Seal was.

Yan Chen hurriedly said, ”Chu Hao is a descendant of King Chu, and he guards the Emperor’s Yellow Seal.”

Sword Star Lord hesitated. I am an ancient Ghost Demon, he thought. I know clearly what the Emperor’s Yellow Seal represents—an Emperor of Mankind, Emperor Huang’s treasure. However, the Emperor’s Yellow Seal is a matter of great importance. If people find Emperor Huang’s Treasure, especially if the Demon Tribe finds it, that wouldn’t be good news for the Underworld. Still, since the Emperor’s Yellow Seal has already been unearthed, disputes are bound to arise sooner or later.

Sword Star Lord looked at Yan Chen and said, ”You will handle this. If he truly has the Emperor’s Yellow Seal, all Yin and Yang Realm forces in the Yang Realm will be up in arms.”

”Yes.”

Yan Chen was thrilled. Chu Hao is my enemy too! He was naturally happy to proceed.

Yan Furong asked, ”My lord, what is the Emperor’s Yellow Seal?”

Sword Star Lord looked at her and said coldly, ”Don’t ask what you shouldn’t. This matter is yours to handle. The bigger the commotion, the better. Ideally, it should force Chu Hao into a desperate situation.”

Yan Furong nodded quickly, daring not to speak further.

Sword Star Lord left. He dared not stay in the Yang Realm for too long. This time, I’ve suffered a great loss of vitality, he thought. I need to return to seclusion and pretend as if nothing happened; otherwise, my position as Jail Master will be at risk.

Immediately, Yan Chen made calls to spread the news that Chu Hao possessed the Emperor’s Yellow Seal.

「In just half a day.」

News of the Emperor’s Yellow Seal had already reached the ears of various major powers. Longhu Mountain and Mao Mountain were the most shocked.

「On Longhu Mountain.」

The misty peaks resembled a paradise, with beautiful scenery. A young Taoist arrived at a Taoist Temple there, saying respectfully, ”Ancestral Master, the Emperor’s Yellow Seal has appeared.”

An old man with white hair and snow-white eyebrows emerged from within the Taoist Temple. His eyes conveyed a sharp presence. Holding a horsetail whisk, he looked at the young disciple and asked, ”Where?”

The young disciple replied respectfully, ”Rumor has it, it’s in the hands of a young man named Chu Hao from the outside world. He is a descendant of King Chu.”

The white-haired Taoist asked, ”What’s the situation on Kunlun Mountain’s side?”

The young disciple replied, ”We don’t know yet, but those in the depths of Kunlun Mountain have also received this news. Additionally, this young man possesses our Taoist Treasure, the True Word Brush!”

The white-haired Taoist raised his eyebrows. ”Good,” he said. ”Go invite him to Longhu Mountain. Zhang Chenfeng, if anyone tries to stop you, you know what to do.”

Zhang Chenfeng replied respectfully, ”Yes, Ancestral Master.”

Zhang Chenfeng belonged to the core disciples deep within Longhu Mountain, different from those in the periphery. Most peripheral disciples were merely ordinary, whereas these core disciples were different. The Senior Disciple, Yue Qinghong, was merely a peripheral senior disciple; when meeting a core disciple, he had to respectfully address them as ’Uncle Master.’ The core represented the true foundation of Longhu Mountain. Zhang Chenfeng himself was a Taoist Priest figure within Longhu Mountain.

「At Mao Mountain.」

They also sent core disciples down the mountain, not only to find Chu Hao but also to locate their Taoist Priest, Wang Junshu. The disappearance of a Taoist Priest was no small matter.

「In a village in Huaxia Country.」

Most members of the Ghost Offering Clan who had escaped from the ancient tomb had gathered here. During this period, the members of the Ghost Offering Clan had not pursued Chu Hao. Instead, they were acclimating to the current era. It was about time, they felt.

Inside an earthen house, an old man in hemp clothing squinted. ”Whether our Ghost Offering Clan can rise again depends on the Emperor’s Yellow Seal,” he said. ”The descendant of King Chu must die.”

In front of him sat seven or eight people dressed in the plain clothes of old peasants, hatred gleaming in each of their eyes.
