Ghost Catching System

Especially when they saw Chu Hao chasing the Three Great Ghost Monster Kings, their faces turned deathly pale. The Fierce Ghosts felt the same, as if at that moment, Chu Hao was the real Ghost One!

”He’s coming after us, run!” one cried out.

”The devil! He’s the real devil!” another shrieked.

Some Demons didn’t hesitate, turning to flee for their lives, terrified Chu Hao would catch them. This set the tempo; everyone was running.

Chu Hao felt incredibly frustrated. He descended from the building to the street, and when he saw the dispersing Fierce Ghosts and Demons, he almost felt like vomiting blood.

Damn it all! I put in so much effort just to show off and run the mission, but I ended up scaring them away by overdoing it. Now it’s the Ghost Monster King who’s fleeing for his life!

No, I have to complete the mission.

Chu Hao grew anxious. The Three Great Ghost Demon Kings had long since vanished. Suddenly, he spotted Heiyan, and a flicker of joy crossed his face as he exclaimed, ”Three Truths Sect!”

Seeing Heiyan, Gui Yan, and the others, Chu Hao’s face lit up with wild joy as he lunged towards them.

He now needed proof, something to show that he was actually weak, and that Heiyan, for instance, was strong.

This scene terrified Gui Yan and the Ghost Cultivators. Heiyan also frowned, his expression extremely grim. The reason the Three Great Ghost Demon Kings ran, Heiyan thought, must be because they realized the power of the Formation. Even they fled. If I were to confront it, wouldn’t I be a fool!

Moreover, after Chu Hao left the building, the Taiji Diagram followed him, spinning eerily above his head.

”Go!” Heiyan turned and fled.

”Wait... wait for me!”

Gui Yan was so scared he wet his pants. By now, he had developed a genuine fear of Chu Hao.

The Ghost Cultivator was even more terrified, turning to flee without a second thought, as if Chu Hao were more dreadful than the Foreign Ghosts of the Land of the Vast Ancient.

”Don’t run! Listen to me!” Chu Hao called out, chasing after them.

Gui Yan ran like the wind, utterly terrified of Chu Hao, even cursing, ”Only an idiot wouldn’t run!”

As for Heiyan, he was long gone. Someone of his caliber couldn’t be stopped if he truly wanted to escape.

Chu Hao was close to tears. I’m really so weak!

Minutes later, the center of Anli City was deserted. All the Ghosts and Demons had fled, leaving Chu Hao utterly alone with no one to pursue.

Chu Hao stood on the main street. A light breeze wafted by, and his heart ached so much he could barely breathe. They had all actually run away.

”I... I...” Chu Hao stammered for a long moment before finally letting out a deep sigh.

The System notified him: ”S-level mission ’Show Off and Run’ failed.”

Hearing the System’s notification, Chu Hao became even more depressed. Oh, heavens! he despaired. What did I do wrong? Why is this happening to me?

On the outskirts of Anli City, the snake horde retreated like a receding tide. The army of Fierce Ghosts did the same, frantically departing.

A perplexed Fierce Ghost blurted out, ”What happened?”

A shorter Fierce Ghost exclaimed, ”It’s... it’s terrifying! That human is a devil! He was chasing down the Three Great Ghost Demon Kings!”

”Holy crap! Chasing them down?”

”Exactly! All our kin are running. You better sprint... Don’t let him catch you! I’m never coming back to Anli City. It’s too frightening!”

The Fierce Ghost army was in turmoil, and the rumors grew increasingly outlandish, claiming Chu Hao had severely injured the Three Great Ghost Demon Kings and was relentlessly pursuing them, displaying brutal ruthlessness.

Some Snake Demons who had fled into the river finally breathed a sigh of relief. One said, ”Lord Snake King was badly wounded! That human is a devil. It’s said he likes to eat snakes!”

”Terrifying! We’re not even safe in this river. Let’s get out of here quickly!”

The rumors continued to spread, and Chu Hao’s terrifying reputation became widely known. Stories circulated about him chasing the Three Great Ghost Demon Kings, heavily injuring the Ghost Monster King, and causing that king to flee in such great haste that he cared for nothing else.

Some even said that Heiyan from the Three Truths Sect had also fled, chased by Chu Hao for ten kilometers, barely escaping with his life.

Rumors are like that—always exaggerated and ceaseless.

”He is a devil who proclaims himself a Taoist Master,” someone commented.

This event shocked countless Demons and humans. Some Evil Cults quickly evacuated Anli City, fearing Chu Hao would hunt them down.

The Three Great Ghost Demon Kings had no idea that their flight would set such a precedent, with everyone talking about just how formidable Chu Hao was.

And what about Chu Hao himself?

Standing alone on the street, he was utterly speechless and could only look to the heavens in despair.

Zhao Gousheng was thrilled. He approached Chu Hao and bowed respectfully, ”Master Chu, truly a godly figure!”

Ouyang Lan’s gaze burned with admiration, as if she were looking at her idol. ”Master, you are so incredible!” she exclaimed.

A twitch developed at the corner of Chu Hao’s mouth. Incredible? How am I incredible? This isn’t how the plot was supposed to go!

Moreover, Wang Zhenyang also appeared. He was a man in his forties and Huaxia’s S-rank number one Demon Slayer. His eyes were ablaze as he cupped his fist and said, ”I believe that with Master Chu, the Emperor’s Yellow Seal couldn’t be in safer hands.”

People from Mao Mountain’s Taoism also arrived, including Wang Zun and a young man, all bearing wounds from an inconclusive battle with Heiyan.

Nevertheless, this senior still walked up to Chu Hao, cupped his fist, and said, ”Master Chu, I am truly in awe.”

Chu Hao looked at them. There’s no way to salvage the mission now, he thought, his heart aching so much he could barely breathe. He waved his hand dismissively. ”Things are not what you think...”

Wang Zun said, ”Master Chu, to possess such skills and power at such a young age, you will undoubtedly have a significant place in the Yin and Yang Realm in the future.”

The young man beside Wang Zun nodded, adding, ”Master Chu, we from Mao Mountain have been too extreme for too long. Please forgive us. I will immediately order those Mao Mountain Disciples who offended you to come and apologize.”

Seeing that he couldn’t explain, Chu Hao sighed deeply. Forget it, just let it be, he thought. With his hands behind his back, he declared, ”As long as I, this Taoist Master, am here, these Evil Demons will not set foot in this city again. I’m tired. I’m going back to rest.”

”Master Chu, take care.”

Chu Hao left, still sulking.

However, not long after his departure, news of what had happened in Anli City had already spread far and wide.

Those most shocked were undoubtedly from Longhu Mountain.

Hearing that Chu Hao had driven away the Three Great Ghost Demon Kings left them all agape.

In the circles of the Yin and Yang Realm, this matter caused a massive uproar, almost portraying Chu Hao as a Divine Deity.

The Ghost Monster King—such a powerful being! There weren’t many in Huaxia, yet Chu Hao alone had scared off three of them.

Besides, it wasn’t just the Yin and Yang Realm. Although people had been advised to stay home that day, many were still too curious and began posting what they had filmed online.

”Mysterious person drives away the Snake King.”

”Demons really do exist in this world! This giant snake is the best proof!”

”Six-tailed Fox Demon sighted! Photo taken at the risk of my own life!”

”Please tell me, what exactly are these shadows?”

”Shocking! Demons appear in Anli City! Scientists’ worldview overturned! What is Huaxia hiding? We need to know!”

Online, all sorts of news bombarded the airwaves, shocking the nation and even causing a considerable stir abroad.

”Who is this godly person from Anli City?”

”We need the truth!”

”...”
