Ghost Catching System

Master Wuzhong’s attitude had changed since their arrival. He said indifferently, ”Only disciples of Mount Taiding are allowed up the mountain. You should stop here.”

Chu Hao replied, ”That won’t do. I want to see Yun’er meet her master with my own eyes.”

The young Master Ji Cheng had been dissatisfied the entire journey. Now on his home turf, was it Chu Hao’s turn to be arrogant? He spoke directly, ”Ignorant fool, being allowed to follow us this far is already quite generous.”

Chu Hao said coldly, ”What now? You want me to leave? Then Yun’er and I won’t go to Mount Taiding at all. Let’s go back right now.”

Whatever Chu Hao said, Qiu Yun’er would comply without question.

Master Wuzhong gave a cold laugh, stepped forward to block their path, and said, ”Young friend, you’re overstepping. This is a Taoist matter; what business is it of yours?”

Qiu Yun’er didn’t want Chu Hao to get into trouble and whispered, ”Brother Chu Hao, I can go up alone.”

Chu Hao shook his head. ”Yun’er is my sister, so how is it not my business? I want to see who can take her away.”

Chu Hao was adamant. Master Wuzhong sneered, ready to subdue this young man. Who did he think he was?

Chu Hao said nonchalantly, ”You want to make a move? Fine. But when I get back, I’ll find someone to blow up Mount Taiding.”

”Ding... Host has successfully intimidated and gained 2,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

It was tough for Chu Hao. Despite his talents, he always relied on the demeanor of a hooligan.

Blow up Mount Taiding.

Master Ji Cheng scoffed, ”You really dare to say such a thing.”

However, Master Wuzhong hesitated, uncertain about Chu Hao’s strength in the secular world.

The atmosphere turned awkward for a moment.

At that moment, Yan Chen, who was wearing a mask, came over and whispered, ”Senior, this is a society ruled by law now. Not just anyone dares to blow up a mountain. He’s bluffing.”

Upon hearing this, Master Wuzhong became furious. Has this young man been fooling me all along?

Chu Hao glanced at the masked man. He had heard what the man said and kicked him directly, saying brazenly, ”Who do you think you are, butting into our conversation?”

Yan Chen was sent flying. No matter how strong he was, he couldn’t withstand that kick and rolled on the ground in pain.

”You dare to attack!” Master Wuzhong, also enraged, reached out with a large hand to grab him.

Liang Qian was inwardly excited. She was finally seeing Chu Hao take action again. What method will he use this time to defeat Master Wuzhong?

The anticipation was almost too much to bear.

However, Chu Hao produced a gun out of nowhere, pointed it at Master Wuzhong, and said, ”I *will* make a move. What are you going to do about it?”

Damn it! How did this kid bring the gun here? Couldn’t airport security detect it? Master Wuzhong thought.

Seeing the gun, Master Wuzhong’s heart clenched. He was seventy percent sure he could subdue Chu Hao before the trigger was pulled. But guns don’t have eyes; what if someone got hurt? It wasn’t worth it to risk injury just to capture a mere mortal.

Liang Qian was speechless too. She had expected Chu Hao to use some special technique, but instead, he drew a gun.

Are you even someone from the Yin and Yang Realm? she wondered.

The young Master Ji Cheng was also startled by the gun. No wonder Martial Uncle Wuzhong was wary of him; it turns out he brought a gun!

Chu Hao pointed the gun at Master Ji Cheng. ”Kid, what were you saying just now?”

Master Ji Cheng shuddered. It was the first time he had a gun pointed at his head. He was terrified and swallowed hard before stammering, ”I... I didn’t say anything. The weather today is quite nice, haha...”

The guy chickened out.

Master Wuzhong was frustrated. He pointed at Chu Hao and said, ”You... you’re also somewhat connected to the Yin and Yang Realm! How can you be so unruly?”

Sanqing Pavilion was Chu Hao’s business, and all the magical tools there were genuine. Master Wuzhong could tell that Chu Hao had some connection to the Yin and Yang Realm, but in their eyes, that connection meant nothing.

Chu Hao shrugged. ”Who says people from the Yin and Yang Realm can’t use guns?”

Indeed, there was no such rule.

Lying on the ground, Yan Chen’s eyes were filled with malice, but inwardly, he was secretly pleased. Chu Hao, you’re still so arrogant even as you approach Mount Taiding. I’ll see how you die this time!

Master Wuzhong ground his teeth in anger. ”Fine! You want to follow? Then follow.”

Master Wuzhong harrumphed and walked away, taking the lead.

Kid, you’ve got guts. Once we’re at Mount Taiding, I’ll see how I deal with you, Master Wuzhong thought.

Chu Hao’s face was full of disdain. He had a hundred ways to deal with Master Wuzhong but preferred to be unorthodox. Do you really think I only have guns?

You would be greatly mistaken. In Chu Hao’s System Space, there was also a bomb.

”Let’s go.”

They followed a quiet path through the mountains. After a while, it split into other paths, branching off in a way that was dazzling to the eyes.

Chu Hao noticed these paths were unusual. They must be part of some kind of Formation, he thought. After walking a bit further, he confirmed it was indeed a Bagua Trapping Formation. It was impossible for ordinary people to ascend the mountain this way; they would just go in circles and end up walking back down.

Liang Qian had also noticed this but kept silent.

Suddenly, Master Wuzhong launched a palm strike at Chu Hao. This Old Ghost is trying to ambush me? Chu Hao sneered inwardly. His reaction was swift; he pulled out his gun and fired a volley of bullets.

BANG! BANG!

The shots made Master Wuzhong jump back, and cold sweat dripped down his brow. Master Wuzhong was shocked by Chu Hao’s reaction speed. That reflex is definitely not something an ordinary person possesses! He roared, ”What do you think you’re doing?”

Chu Hao reloaded his pistol and said, ”What do *you* think I’m doing?”

Actually, if it were an ordinary person or even a mercenary, none could have reacted as quickly as Chu Hao. He was merely scaring Master Wuzhong.

After walking for two hours, everyone was still in good shape. Even Yun’er wasn’t out of breath.

Master Wuzhong was surprised, noting to himself, Chu Hao and Liang Qian are no ordinary people; their physical stamina is excellent.

Finally, the Taoist Temple on Mount Taiding came into view. It was hidden among the mountains and forests, with still some distance to cover.

Master Wuzhong said, ”Young man, I still advise you not to go up.”

Chu Hao laughed. ”Do you have tigers up there? Perfect! I’ve been wanting to try tiger whip.”

Qiu Yun’er and Liang Qian blushed.

”Fine, just follow then.” Master Wuzhong’s patience had reached its limit.

Ascending the mountain, the scenery on Mount Taiding was a rare sight that surprised everyone except Master Wuzhong and Master Ji Cheng, who took no notice. The others, however, were captivated. They continued upwards, mist swirling around them as if they were in a fairyland among the clouds, not wanting to miss a single detail.

The mountain path was paved with bluestone steps leading upward. Halfway up the peak, looking down, they could see an Ancient Pine Forest shrouded in mist.

”It’s so beautiful,” Liang Qian couldn’t help but exclaim.

Seeing Liang Qian’s beauty, which surpassed that of the Taoist nuns on the mountain, Master Ji Cheng said proudly, ”Of course. Mount Taiding is a Taoist Sacred Land, once visited by the Taoist Master himself.”

Liang Qian exclaimed in surprise, ”The Taoist Master? Could it be Laozi?”

Master Wuzhong snorted coldly. ”Ji Cheng!”

Master Ji Cheng immediately bowed his head, not daring to say another word.

Yan Chen thought, Chu Hao has the True Word Brush. The people of Mount Taiding are unlikely to let him leave easily with it. A secret joy bloomed in Yan Chen’s heart at this thought. I must tell Master Wuzhong about this!
