Ghost Catching System

His voice, reaching far and wide, caused everyone nearby the Twin Towers—humans, ghosts, and demons alike—to freeze. It wasn’t particularly loud, yet it penetrated deep into their minds.

”Is… is this ’Voice Transmission Over a Thousand Miles’?” a member of an Evil Cult exclaimed in shock.

”Just what level of cultivation does Chu Hao possess? His voice can reach my mind from such a great distance.”

”Ding! The Host’s profoundly enigmatic act of pretentiousness has awarded 1,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

This move shocked many.

Ju Zheng Qing was also secretly startled. She said doubtfully, ”What on earth is Chu Hao trying to do?”

Instead of fleeing, Chu Hao chose to confront his opponents head-on, a move that was far beyond her expectations. She found his brazenness utterly baffling.

At the base of the Twin Towers Building, some young people and reporters had arrived, suspecting they were hallucinating.

Everyone’s heart trembled as they asked, ”Who’s speaking?”

Chu Hao surveyed the turbulent crowd with satisfaction. This effectively addressed the most fundamental requirement for his grandstanding.

With his hands clasped behind his back, Chu Hao looked down from the top of the Twin Towers Building. His eyesight was exceptionally powerful, allowing him to see very great distances. Immediately, he spotted a huge snake sprawling in the direction of a park.

Chu Hao was stunned. Where did this snake come from, and how did it get so enormous? It seemed inconceivable.

Nevertheless, Chu Hao feigned composure. This was no time to display weakness. If the enemy detected any hesitation, not only would he fail his mission, but the consequences would be dire.

Chu Hao then declared, ”Hmph… So, you all want the Emperor’s Yellow Seal, is that it? Well, you’ll have to see if you have the lifespan to actually take it.”

Everyone narrowed their eyes. Whether hidden in the shadows or out in the open, none of them were ordinary individuals. Chu Hao’s arrogance was simply over the top.

Chu Hao continued, ”I know you’re not convinced. So what? Ants will always be ants, never fit for the grand stage. It’s true, the Emperor’s Yellow Seal is in my hands. But while you might have the guts to try and take it, you won’t live to escape with it.”

Some members of the Evil Cults, inherently cruel by nature, could no longer suppress their rage upon hearing Chu Hao’s words.

”What’s with this kid’s arrogance? Is he courting death?”

”Hmph… At first, I thought he was someone of note. Now, it seems he’s just an arrogant fool. People like him don’t live long.”

”It’s a pity the three great Ghost Demons are eyeing the Emperor’s Yellow Seal, and the Three Truths Sect is too. Otherwise, we would’ve dealt with that brat long ago.”

In private, each one of them boasted with bravado.

Hearing Chu Hao’s speech, Zhao Gousheng felt a headache coming on. He had never imagined Chu Hao would say such things. Isn’t he making an enemy out of everyone?

Ouyang Lan was equally puzzled, frowning as she asked, ”What in the world is he trying to achieve?”

Zhao Gousheng sighed and said, ”Regardless of his intentions, saying such things now makes a peaceful resolution impossible.”

Indeed, Chu Hao had offended everyone. Wasn’t this simply courting death?

Zhao Gousheng considered calling Chu Hao to tell him to tone it down, but before he could even make the call, Chu Hao’s next words nearly scared them to death.

Chu Hao wore an air of indifference, his performance profoundly convincing. This was his signature style of grandstanding. He said, ”That little snake lounging in the park, since you’ve already arrived, why not show yourself?”

The Snake King was visibly taken aback. It slowly raised its head, unable to pinpoint the source of the voice, completely unaware that Chu Hao was three kilometers away.

The Snake King flickered its forked tongue, its eyes gleaming with a cold light; it was inwardly astonished.

Then, Chu Hao’s gaze swept around again, spotting a charming woman seated in a top-floor café of a high-rise building two kilometers away—the Heng Mountain Immortal Fox.

”Little fox, is the coffee to your liking?”

The Immortal Fox was startled. She shot to her feet, radiating an icy aura. She couldn’t see Chu Hao at all; two kilometers was indeed too great a distance.

”Ding! The Host’s startling act of pretentiousness has awarded 1,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

Although the Sound Amplification Charm didn’t cost many Pretentiousness Points, I can still use it to create such an impressive effect. This is quite exhilarating! Chu Hao thought with immense satisfaction.

Chu Hao searched for the Southern Ghost King but couldn’t locate him. However, he was certain the adversary was present.

Chu Hao then proclaimed boastfully, ”Southern little ghost, your old flame, the Ghost Mother, was killed by this Taoist Master. So what? I can kill her as easily as a chicken, and I can kill you as easily as a dog.”

”Ding! The Host’s supremely intimidating act of pretentiousness has awarded 2,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

In a corner of Anli City, the Southern Ghost King was stunned. Its pupils radiated a frenzied light, and a monstrous surge of Ghost Qi caused the temperature in the surrounding area to plummet by tens of degrees below zero.

Never mind the three great Ghost Demons; everyone else was utterly astounded as well.

Little snake, little fox, little ghost—these derogatory terms were aimed at major demonic figures in Huaxia. Chu Hao was calling them out so directly, showing absolutely no respect.

Not far from the Twin Towers Building, beneath a small structure, Wang Zhenyang wore a peculiar expression. He couldn’t help but say admiringly, ”Chu Hao, I’ve rarely admired anyone in my life, but you’re one of them.”

In another corner of Anli City, Heiyan, Gui Yan, and the other Ghost Cultivators were also stunned.

Gui Yan grumbled, ”This kid really has some nerve.”

Heiyan, whose body bore numerous scorch marks from a previous battle with a Mao Mountain Taoist where he had sustained minor injuries, smirked. ”Interesting. I’d like to see how he plans to get out of this.”

Zhao Gousheng and Ouyang Lan nearly coughed up blood. This guy really dares to say anything!

Chu Hao, pleased and seemingly addicted to his own pronouncements, began to run his mouth with wild boasts. ”Little snake, this Taoist Master has consumed quite a few snakes; I’ve even slain dragons. You’ve got some nerve, coming to find me.”

”Little fox, cultivation isn’t easy. Do you think six tails make you so formidable? A nine-tailed fox once served this Taoist Master by washing my feet!”

”Southern little ghost, enough talk. Do you want to know how your old flame was obliterated into ash? Scurry over here now, and this Taoist Master will show you exactly how I killed her.”

”As for you disciples of the Three Truths Sect, this Taoist Master has no desire to dally with you. Crawl over here now, and I’ll slaughter every last one of you, leaving no survivors!”

”Anyone who wants the Emperor’s Yellow Seal, come and get it! This Taoist Master is waiting.”

Chu Hao’s brazen, targeted taunts, delivered with such arrogance, truly shocked countless individuals.

Heiyan’s expression turned cold.

The Southern Ghost King commanded, ”Go! Kill him!”

The Fierce Ghosts accompanying the Ghost King hesitated. This Chu Hao is openly provoking these major figures. It’s obviously a trap! If we go, we’ll just become cannon fodder.

However, an order from the Ghost King could not be disobeyed.

The Immortal Fox, her face like ice, said, ”Bring him to me.”

The Snake King hissed, flicking its tongue. The swarm of Snake Demons it had brought surged forward at incredible speed, covering several hundred meters in the blink of an eye.

”Living human, you’re courting death!”

A massive number of Fierce Ghosts and Demons emerged, such an overwhelming quantity that it made onlookers’ scalps tingle.

This was merely a fraction of the forces present; many from the Evil Cults hadn’t yet made a move, observing from the shadows. After all, with the three great Ghost Demons—the Ghost King, the Snake King, and the Immortal Fox—taking action, what role was there for them to play? Who present wasn’t wary of these formidable entities?

Only Chu Hao was such an eccentric.

Chu Hao remained as calm as ever; these were mere underlings. He lightly stamped his foot on the ground.

The Talisman Formation array flickered to life. Three hundred and sixty Suppression of Evil Talismans activated, forming the Great Suppression of Evil Spirits Talisman Formation, which unleashed a potent suppressive force.

The Fierce Ghosts shrieked as they swept in like a storm, their momentum ferocious and overwhelming. Ghostly wails and howls ripped through the air, as if Hell itself had been unleashed.

These Fierce Ghosts were even more numerous than when they first appeared, several times over!
