Ghost Catching System

Ghosts, too, are not immortal. Without the support of soul power, if they linger too long in the Yang Realm, their souls will scatter and dissipate. This is why ghosts must report to the Underworld to preserve their soul bodies.

As Chu Hao had said, even the Big Boss himself did not know if the Gui Yin King was still around.

The young man bellowed angrily, ”You’re courting death!”

Chu Hao sneered, ”Angry because I hit the mark?”

The Big Boss said, ”The Founder isn’t here. Don’t even think you’ll leave this place alive.”

As he spoke, the Big Boss took out a string of wind chimes and began to shake them.

”JINGLE! JINGLE!”

The crisp sound of the chimes spread in all directions.

”WHOOSH!!”

A cold wind gusted, and deep within Gui Yin Mountain, ghosts began to emerge, avoiding the flames and gathering overhead.

Chu Hao took one look and was startled; they were all Semi-Ghost Kings.

However, their strength was just so-so, roughly the same as the two stone Fierce Ghosts he had killed earlier, but there were many more of them.

The Big Boss announced, ”Ancestors, this person intends to destroy our Gui Yin Mountain! Please lend your aid against him!”

One of the Fierce Ghosts overhead roared angrily, ”Is he also the one who set fire to the mountain?”

”Yes.”

A Semi-Ghost King roared furiously, ”Kill him! I will turn his soul into a soul lamp!”

”Disturbing our meditation—he deserves death!”

Chu Hao was astonished. Were these the ancestors of the Gui Yin Mountain lineage? Every single one of them had become a Fierce Ghost, hiding in the forest.

Brandishing the Ritian Stick, Chu Hao said disdainfully, ”Just you lot? I, the Taoist Master, don’t even take a Ghost King seriously, let alone trash like you. What do you amount to?”

Hearing this, the many Fierce Ghosts overhead were also taken aback.

They didn’t even take the Ghost King seriously?

”He’s bluffing!” the Big Boss said furiously.

Chu Hao stabbed the Ritian Stick towards the Black Wind Fierce Ghost. With a wail, it turned to ash and vanished.

”Ding! You have killed an Intermediate Semi-Ghost King, gaining 200,000 Experience Points.”

The Night Demon Blade had already absorbed most of this Black Wind Fierce Ghost’s experience, so killing it now only yielded 200,000 Experience Points.

Chu Hao coldly declared, ”Whether this Taoist Master is bluffing or not, you can try me and find out.”

The Semi-Ghost Kings were feeling deeply uneasy. No one would believe that a living person could barge into this place without absolute confidence and strength. Still, the fact that Gui Yin Mountain was on fire had indeed infuriated them.

The Big Boss urged, ”Ancestors, he has come to destroy Gui Yin Mountain! If you don’t act now, when will you?”

Indeed, upon hearing this, the Semi-Ghost Kings’ eyes glinted fiercely. Some revealed their terrifying ghostly forms, savage to the extreme.

”Devour him!”

The Semi-Ghost Kings swarmed down. Chu Hao, already prepared, swung the Ritian Stick, sending one Semi-Ghost King flying.

Then, taking a confident step forward, he produced a Five-color Thunderbolt Talisman and began chanting an incantation.

”Jade Purity’s first light, the True Talisman proclaims our bond! Let the Twin Qis flow and shift, merging as one to manifest Truth! Five Colors, Five Thunders, swiftly gather at Yellow Serenity! With utmost urgency, as the laws decree!”

In his palm, the Five-color Thunderbolt Talisman transformed into five-colored lightning. With a forward thrust of his palm, he hurled it.

”CRACKLE!”

A spherical explosion of five-colored lightning erupted before him, enveloping two Semi-Ghost Kings who let out agonizing screams. In that moment, they felt an agony as if struck by the Five Thunders.

The Five-color Thunderbolt Talisman was quite powerful, but killing Semi-Ghost Kings with it alone was difficult. However, Chu Hao immediately followed up with a swing of his Ritian Stick, its overwhelming power sweeping through.

”BANG! BANG!”

Two Semi-Ghost Kings were instantly reduced to ash.

”Ding! You have killed a Semi-Ghost King, gaining 1,000,000 Experience Points.”

”Ding! You have killed a Semi-Ghost King, gaining 1,000,000 Experience Points.”

”Ding! A Semi-Ghost King dropped a Golden Treasure Chest, which has been stored in your inventory.”

Chu Hao now needed roughly six million more Experience Points to level up.

Chu Hao’s swift action had wiped out two Semi-Ghost Kings, thoroughly frightening the others.

How could Chu Hao let such a perfect chance to show off slip by? He said coldly and ruthlessly, ”You trash think you can take down this Taoist Master just by ganging up? Naive.”

”Ding! Host has successfully postured, gaining 1,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

”You! You!” One of the Semi-Ghost Kings, thoroughly intimidated, dared not advance.

Chu Hao declared loudly, ”A bunch of worthless beings who refuse to go to the Underworld even after death, lingering in the Yang Realm to cause calamities! I, the Taoist Master, will now scatter your souls to the winds!”

Chu Hao gripped the Ritian Stick tightly. It instantly lengthened and swept across the Fierce Ghosts before him.

The Ritian Stick naturally pulsed with potent righteous energy, the bane of Fierce Ghosts. As it swept across, a group of Semi-Ghost Kings screamed, smashed, and hurled away, grievously injured.

Chu Hao’s divine martial might and dominance completely awed all the Semi-Ghost Kings.

In fact, Chu Hao had underestimated himself. His current strength was far greater than that of an Intermediate Semi-Ghost King. Even if an Advance Ghost King were to appear, they likely wouldn’t fare well against him.

”No! I don’t want to turn to ash! I haven’t been reborn yet!” a Fierce Ghost shrieked in terror, turning to flee.

The Big Boss was also terrified. Could today truly be the day Gui Yin Mountain disappeared, all because of Chu Hao’s unexpectedly immense power?

”Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, kill them!”

Zhang Fei and Zhao Yun had by now reached the Semi-Ghost King level. They were no ordinary Semi-Ghost Kings but battle-hardened Generals.

The Fierce Ghosts dwindled in number as the fire raged ever larger. Was Gui Yin Mountain truly about to be destroyed?

However, the first Fierce Ghost to flee suddenly scrambled back, shrieking in terror, ”Don’t kill me! Don’t kill me!”

In the darkness, from an even deeper part of Gui Yin Mountain, countless Ghost Shadows appeared out of thin air. These palm-sized Ghost Shadows had sharp teeth and swarmed in like a storm.

The fleeing Fierce Ghost didn’t even have time to scream before it was devoured by the countless Ghost Shadows. Eaten just like that?

Chu Hao’s focus intensified.

Then, these small-sized Ghost Shadows rushed at the other fleeing Fierce Ghosts, devouring them one by one.

Chu Hao watched anxiously; those were his targets for leveling up, yet these things were consuming them!

Suddenly, an imposing voice echoed from above, ”A bunch of useless trash! What use are you?”

An Advance Semi-Ghost King arrived, surrounded by palm-sized Ghost Shadows flitting about it like bats in the darkness.

”A mere living person dares to trespass upon the Sacred Land of Gui Yin? Are you seeking death?”

An Advance Semi-Ghost King was, of course, far beyond what an Intermediate Semi-Ghost King could compare to. Having cultivated to this extent, it was no longer a mere Fierce Ghost; its methods were also exceptionally diverse.

The Big Boss exclaimed in surprised delight, ”Great King Gu Cai!”

Chu Hao smiled faintly. ”And here I thought Gui Yin Mountain didn’t have a single tough character. Turns out one was just hiding in the depths with its tail tucked.”

The Advance Semi-Ghost King, Gu Cai, roared. The mist roiled, and a massive, ghostly face appeared in the sky. It was deathly pale, without a trace of blood, and seethed with potent Ghost Qi.

”This is the Founder’s sacred ground! How dare a mere mortal like you trespass? Die!”
