Ghost Catching System

Daoist Wu Jian shook his head and said, ”Your heart demon is too heavy, Min Ran. To think you’ve actually come this far. Tell me! Why did you arrange for Qiu Yun to be sent to the Tai Ding Ancestral Land?”

With a sinister smile on its weasel-like face, the creature looked towards Qiu Yun’er and said, ”This little girl’s constitution is special; otherwise, why would Mushan have made her the Saintess? Devouring her would significantly increase my cultivation.”

Indeed, Qiu Yun’er’s constitution was special.

”Demon, how dare you run rampant on Mount Taiding! You’re seeking death!”

Daoist Wu Jian suddenly thrust his sword. The Yellow Weasel clone dissipated into smoke, leaving only a few yellow hairs on the ground. ”A clone,” Daoist Wu Jian said, frowning.

Just then, a voice came from the void. The Yellow Weasel sneered, ”With just the likes of you, you’ll never find my true body. This little girl is as good as mine.”

Frightened, Qiu Yun’er’s face turned pale as she hid behind Zhong Minyue.

However, Chu Hao shouted, ”Yellow Weasel, if you have the guts, come out here!”

The Yellow Weasel watched Chu Hao from the shadows. It was all because of this human that its plan had failed. Yet, when it looked at Chu Hao, it was taken aback.

Because at that moment, Chu Hao’s eyes were gleaming, and he was practically drooling.

This human... why does it give me such a strangely familiar feeling?

CLANG! Sparks flew in every direction.

Wu Jian and Min Ran were fiercely dueling. Min Ran wielded the Ritian Stick; he was very strong, and with this powerful weapon, Wu Jian struggled to defeat him.

”What a wondrous treasure!” Min Ran exclaimed with elation.

However, the Ritian Stick suddenly spun out of his grasp and flew into Chu Hao’s hands.

Min Ran was shocked.

Chu Hao sneered, ”Trash like you wants my wondrous treasure?”

Min Ran’s face turned extremely ugly as he stared hard at Chu Hao.

Daoist Wu Jian was heartbroken. This was his martial brother, with whom he had grown up. Seeing him like this, he angrily said, ”Min Ran, surrender immediately!”

Daoist Min Ran roared, ”Brat, just you wait!”

With that, he turned and fled at breakneck speed, vanishing in a puff of blue smoke—it was a Qimen Dunjia technique.

Naturally, Daoist Wu Jian gave chase. At this moment, he couldn’t spare a thought for Chu Hao and the others. The other Taoists also pursued; they had to capture Min Ran, or it would be a disgrace to the Tai Ding Taoist Temple.

Chaos erupted on Mount Taiding.

...

Chu Hao paid no mind to the affairs of Mount Taiding. He walked over, picked up the yellow hairs dropped by the Yellow Weasel’s clone, and activated the Heavenly Prophecy Technique.

He had purchased this Heavenly Prophecy Technique for over ten thousand Pretentiousness Points and had used it only once before, in King Chu’s Tomb.

With these hairs, he could predict the weasel’s next move. After casting the spell, Chu Hao closed his eyes. An image formed in his mind: the Yellow Weasel’s location in twelve seconds.

The vision showed that as the Taoists pursued Min Ran, the Yellow Weasel would suddenly emerge from a corner to launch a sneak attack on Qiu Yun’er. It was a very large, fat Yellow Weasel, as big as a firewood dog, with a long tail dragging behind it.

Chu Hao sneered. I’ve been waiting for you to appear.

Sure enough, after twelve seconds, the Yellow Weasel suddenly materialized on the left side of the Taoist Temple. It appeared out of thin air, opened its large mouth, and aimed to bite Qiu Yun’er’s neck.

Qiu Yun’er, unaware of the danger, didn’t react. But Chu Hao stepped forward in time, the Night Demon Blade appearing in his hand, and slashed fiercely.

This Semi-Demon King probably hadn’t expected Chu Hao to see through its sneak attack. It was completely bewildered when the blade sliced towards it.

PUFF!

A bushy yellow tail was severed by the blade, and the Yellow Weasel let out a scream of agony.

Qiu Yun’er was also startled. Seeing such a large Yellow Weasel, she was utterly terrified.

Chu Hao moved swiftly. With another slash of his blade, the Yellow Weasel was sent flying, spattering blood on the ground. Its left eye had been cleaved, rendering it completely blind.

”You! You!” Enraged, its left eye bleeding, the Yellow Weasel turned and fled, transforming into a streak of yellow smoke and vanishing from sight.

Chu Hao sneered as he picked up the tail. He knew the Yellow Weasel had been seriously injured; even as a Semi-Demon King, it wouldn’t dare to linger any longer.

Chu Hao said, ”Wait here for me.”

Without further words to the three, Chu Hao gave chase.

The Yellow Weasel left a trail of blood as it fled. It feared Chu Hao because its physical body was weak; its true strength lay in its spirit.

This Yellow Weasel was a Semi-Demon King, a creature rarely seen even in a millennium. It could aptly be called the Immortal Yellow Weasel. It was so cunning and sly that anyone it targeted was unlikely to survive. It darted into the Stone Forest and ran wildly.

Chu Hao caught up. The terrain here was steep and rocky, but his pace didn’t slow, thanks to his Qinggong skills.

”Still trying to escape? Tonight, this Taoist Master shall have roasted Yellow Weasel!” Chu Hao declared.

Hearing Chu Hao’s words, the Immortal Yellow Weasel was so frustrated it wanted to cough up blood. If it hadn’t been caught off guard and severely wounded, it surely would have turned the tables.

Regrettably, Chu Hao gave it no chance, slashing with his blade again.

The blade light flashed like lightning, carving a gash into the stones to the weasel’s left.

The terrified Yellow Weasel let out a sharp cry, its voice entering Chu Hao’s mind: ”Spare my life!”

Chu Hao scoffed, ”You ask this Taoist Master to spare your life now? Did you plan to spare Yun’er?”

Gritting its teeth, the Yellow Weasel knew Chu Hao would not relent and said resentfully, ”Then just keep chasing!”

The Yellow Weasel weaved through the mountain forest. For a time, Chu Hao couldn’t catch it. If it hadn’t been injured, it likely would have shaken him off already.

Chu Hao commanded, ”Zhao Yun, Zhang Fei, pursue!”

Zhao Yun and Zhang Fei appeared and, without a word, chased after the Yellow Weasel.

When the Yellow Weasel saw Chu Hao suddenly summon two Semi-Ghost Kings, it was greatly frightened. Semi-Ghost Kings!

Frustrated, it could only flee, heading towards Mount Taiding.

Indeed, this Yellow Weasel was quite bold. Mount Taiding was a bastion of Taoism. To deceive its Taoist practitioners showed considerable capability, no easy feat.

As it fled and they pursued, they finally crossed the Stone Forest and arrived at a barren area. This was the back of Mount Taiding, revealing a barren landscape of only weeds and rocks.

Not far away, Chu Hao saw a stele inscribed with traditional Chinese characters: ”Tai Ding Ancestral Land.”

The Yellow Weasel shrieked, ”If you dare, come after me!”

Chu Hao frowned. This was the ancestral land of Mount Taiding. As he pursued, he passed numerous graves, undoubtedly the tombs of Mount Taiding’s ancestors.

Mount Taiding, with its long history, had many ancestral graves. Upon arriving here, Chu Hao suddenly felt as if countless eyes were watching him.

However, he could not see any ghosts, which made it all the more eerie.

Chu Hao knew he couldn’t let the Yellow Weasel escape any longer; it would become very troublesome.

Therefore, Chu Hao took out a Divine Traveling Talisman. He had used it to escape last time; this time, he would use it to chase the Yellow Weasel.

He chanted the incantation, and his speed increased dramatically, allowing him to catch up.

The Yellow Weasel looked back and was petrified. In an instant, Chu Hao was before it, the Night Demon Blade slashing down.

”Die!”

A single stroke cleaved the Yellow Weasel. It flew onto a large rock, blood splattering everywhere, undeniably dead.

Chu Hao immediately noticed a soul emerging from the Yellow Weasel’s body and flying into one of the graves.

This time, it was Chu Hao’s turn to be stunned.

Truly worthy of being an enlightened Yellow Weasel. Unlike other demons, this one focused its cultivation on mental strength and its soul. Its soul has already become a Ghost Demon; it can escape even after its body is killed.

Thus, the Yellow Weasel had completely transformed from a demon into a Ghost Demon.
