Ghost Catching System

Mu Yue initially thought that the Toad Spirit was some Demon Chu Hao had found; it was only after hearing Su Huansheng speak that she realized she had misunderstood Chu Hao.

Chu Hao asked seriously, ”What did the Toad Spirit do with you last night?”

Mu Yue suddenly choked up; she definitely wouldn’t reveal that she had been deceived by the Toad Spirit and had spent the whole night with it. Just the thought of last night’s incident filled her with disgust and intensified her murderous aura.

Toad Spirit, I couldn’t possibly be pregnant, could I? No, I need to go get some medicine. Mu Yue thought.

With that in mind, she ran off to the pharmacy to buy medicine.

After she left, Chu Hao almost couldn’t hold back his laughter, whispering, ”What did you do to her last night?”

The Toad Spirit responded displeasedly, ”This woman, she’s been explored by so many men. I just put my treasure inside her body. She should feel lucky—consider who I am!”

Chu Hao was completely flabbergasted. By this point, anyone would have guessed what kind of medicine Mu Yue was off to buy at the pharmacy.

The Toad Spirit communicated telepathically, ”Right, last night was too pleasurable, and I didn’t notice until afterward, but I found there was a Monster Qi inside this woman’s body. It tried to absorb my essence at first, but it couldn’t withstand me, and I ended up absorbing quite a bit of it.”

Monster Qi! Unless it was a very powerful Demon, it wouldn’t escape Chu Hao’s notice.

So that’s why the woman wanted to sleep with Brother Hao; she intended to absorb my essence, Chu Hao realized.

Mu Yue returned, still with a gloomy expression. Everyone else wasn’t stupid; they knew something unpleasant had happened last night, so they didn’t bother asking Mu Yue about it.

They all huddled together. Su Huansheng pulled out a map and pointed at a mountain range, saying, ”Ghost King Valley. This place used to be an Ancient Tomb, a mass burial site for ten thousand people during ancient times.”

Su Huansheng continued, ”In the past, when a Prince and General died, over ten thousand enemy soldiers from other countries were buried along with him right in these mountains. Hence the name, Ghost King Valley.”

Taoist Yang Cheng asked, ”Were ten thousand people really buried alive here?”

Su Huansheng nodded. ”Exactly. And that Prince and General is now the Black Water Ghost King.”

”Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate,” Taoist Yang Cheng sighed.

Ten thousand people buried alive—that was a terrifying number. Ghost King Valley’s reputation was not unfounded.

Zhang Chengshan said, ”The fact that Ghost King Valley has survived this long without being destroyed shows it has a formidable background. We need to be careful.”

Su Huansheng nodded in agreement. ”Indeed.”

Taoist Yang Cheng asked, ”So how do we get in?”

Entering openly would surely lead to detection. With over ten thousand people buried in Ghost King Valley, the accumulated resentment went without saying. If they were to alert the Black Water Ghost King, they could forget about finding him.

Su Huansheng brought out a bottle and released a Fierce Ghost full of resentment.

This Fierce Ghost, clad in torn and battered armor, trembled upon seeing Su Huansheng.

”It will lead us in,” Su Huansheng said.

Zhang Chengshan nodded. ”So, Taoist friend Su was well-prepared all along.”

Su Huansheng smiled and then said, ”However, the Black Water Ghost King is no fool. It knows why we’re here and will surely hide.”

”What do we do then?” asked Taoist Yang Cheng.

Su Huansheng looked at Chu Hao and smiled. ”Young friend Chu, this is where we need your help. As I understand, the Southern Ghost King is quite eager to capture you. You’ll be the bait to lure it out. Don’t worry; once the Black Water Ghost King makes an appearance, it’s as good as dead with us here.”

Chu Hao inwardly sneered. So, Su Huansheng has finally revealed his true intentions.

The others also looked at Chu Hao.

Chu Hao said indifferently, ”Alright. But what about the Ghost Sutras we obtain afterward? How will they be handled?”

Chu Hao addressed the most direct issue: everyone present wanted the Ghost Sutras for themselves. With so many people involved, how would the Sutras be divided once obtained?

Su Huansheng’s expression didn’t change.

Zhang Chengshan said, ”These Ghost Sutras are unspeakably evil. They should be taken back to Longhu Mountain for suppression.”

Taoist Yang Cheng said, ”My Mao Mountain is the authentic ghost-capturing sect. It would be best to bring them back to Mao Mountain.”

Mu Yue didn’t speak. She was very calm, as if she were an outsider.

Su Huansheng waved his hand and said, ”Once we obtain the Ghost Sutras, they must be destroyed. Does anyone have any objections?”

The two hesitated for a moment before saying, ”Okay.”

「Six hours later.」

The group entered the deep mountains.

The mountains here, one after another, were covered with dense forests. The party moved quickly, their physical capabilities far beyond ordinary people, and soon they entered the depths of the mountains.

The deeper they went, the sunlight was blocked by the leaves, and sparse beams of sunlight slanted down, the air damp and cold.

The Black Water Ghost King had hidden himself well. They had walked for half a day and were still only on the outskirts, not having reached the depths even as deep night approached.

Fortunately, everyone had bought tents before coming.

Taoist Yang Cheng kept watch.

Chu Hao didn’t want to show off deliberately; that kind of display no longer achieved the desired effect, so he just slept inside the tent.

The Toad Spirit jumped out of his pocket and exclaimed, ”I was nearly suffocated to death!”

Chu Hao asked, ”What are you thinking?”

The Toad Spirit said, ”From now on, this Emperor will follow you all until we find the Ghost King. Then, depending on the situation, the two of us will join forces. Why would we be afraid of them?”

The Toad Spirit looked disdainful, not taking these people seriously at all.

Chu Hao didn’t trust it. If it runs off with the Ghost Sutras, who can I turn to? he wondered.

Seeing Chu Hao’s skeptical look, the Toad Spirit said indignantly, ”What’s the matter? Could this Emperor possibly deceive you? My word is as good as gold.”

Chu Hao said, ”If you run away later, I won’t be able to give you the Transformation Talisman.”

The Toad Spirit snorted coldly. ”Am I the kind of unreliable sort to break promises?”

At that moment, a voice came from outside the tent. ”Young friend Chu, may I come in?” Mu Yue asked.

The Toad Spirit muttered something and vanished in a flash.

Chu Hao opened the tent. ”What is it?”

Mu Yue’s face was still a bit pale. She said shyly, ”Last night you said you would come find me, but you didn’t.”

Chu Hao cursed inwardly. Does this woman still want to get involved with me?

That was indeed what Mu Yue was thinking. She wanted to recover from Chu Hao what she had lost yesterday, so she had come back, unwilling to give up.

Chu Hao felt disgusted. You’ve been with a Toad Spirit and you still want Brother Hao to be with you? My tastes aren’t that depraved!

The Toad Spirit transmitted his voice from the shadows, ”Kiddo Chu, give this Emperor another Transformation Talisman. I’ll finish her off.”

Chu Hao ignored the Toad Spirit and said indifferently, ”We have a lot to do tomorrow, and there are plenty of mosquitoes. I’m going to rest.”

Mu Yue left with a sigh.

The night was long. Around one o’clock, everyone was fast asleep.

At that moment, someone approached Chu Hao’s tent. Chu Hao, extremely vigilant, opened his eyes. By the light of the fire outside, he saw a slender figure standing there.

Is it that woman Mu Yue again?

The tent flap was opened, and a seductive woman poked her head inside. It wasn’t Mu Yue!

”Six-tailed Fox Demon,” Chu Hao said. He subconsciously reached behind him. The Greenwood Flame Fan was still on his person; he wasn’t afraid of this Fox Demon King at all.
