Ghost Catching System

The Six-tailed Demon Fox was very enchanting. Upon entering, she frowned and said, ”Hurry up and leave.”

”Go where?” Chu Hao was completely confused.

The Six-tailed Fox Demon said helplessly, ”Your location has been exposed. The Ghost King is coming.”

Chu Hao was somewhat puzzled. Is she telling the truth?

However, a voice appeared in his mind; the toad’s spiritual transmission said, ”Holy shit, so many ghosts! Run for it!”

Chu Hao cursed under his breath and, without hesitation, got up and went outside. The sky was unusually dark. He discovered that Su Huansheng, his companions, and Taoist Yang Cheng, the guard at the outpost—all four of them—had disappeared. Where could they have gone this late at night?

The Six-tailed Demon Fox sneered, ”Be grateful to me, or you would have been dead by now.”

”What do you mean? Where are they?” Chu Hao asked, puzzled.

The Six-tailed Fox Demon’s body swayed enticingly. She covered her forehead and said helplessly, ”Are you stupid? You were set up and you don’t even know it. They placed you here to attract the Ghost King.”

Chu Hao’s expression turned ugly; he realized he had been unwittingly betrayed.

A cold, fierce wind blew over, making him shudder. Chu Hao leaped onto the treetops. With his enhanced vision, he saw dense black qi rolling in from deep within the mountains, rustling the leaves loudly.

He saw countless Fierce Ghosts clad in rusty armor, looking as if they had just crawled out of the earth. Black smoke billowed underneath their feet as they approached. Could these Fierce Ghosts be the more than ten thousand people who were buried here?

Chu Hao was startled by the sheer number of ghosts. These were not ordinary Fierce Ghosts one might encounter, but Resentful Ghosts who had fought battles and experienced the atrocities of war.

Besides, atop a mountain peak where clouds churned, a terrifying ghostly face was heading this way. Who else could it be but the Southern Ghost King?

”Damn, I really have become bait.”

Chu Hao swore loudly. The power of this Ghost King was unfathomable, and if he were caught by him, life would be worse than death.

The Six-tailed Demon Fox said, ”Run to the north. There are many people lurking there.”

Chu Hao nodded and was about to leave when he suddenly turned around with a mischievous smile and asked, ”Why are you helping me?”

The Six-tailed Demon Fox snorted coldly, ”I’ve told you before, I am cooperating with you; I am not as hypocritical as you humans.”

To his surprise, this Fox Demon harbored such sentiments. Her bare feet, those toes are so pale and tender... A pity she’s a demon.

”Thanks,” Chu Hao said before turning to run. With his Qinggong skills, he was incredibly fast.

The Black Water Ghost King was indeed coming for Chu Hao. The Emperor’s Yellow Seal was just as important to him, even though he knew many people were waiting for his appearance outside.

The Black Water Ghost King had already locked onto Chu Hao’s position, leading an army of ten thousand Resentful Ghosts, and prepared to strike.

Chu Hao’s mood was terrible; it was clear that Su Huansheng and those bastards had intended to doom him.

But am I really that easy to trick?

Chu Hao turned around and saw the approaching Resentful Ghost Army. Using the Devil Mask, he concealed his aura and took on the essence of Ghost Qi.

With this move, the Black Water Ghost King lost track of Chu Hao. He could only sense the vitality of living humans, so once Chu Hao swapped his aura, he naturally became untraceable.

Chu Hao hid in the shadows, crouching atop the treetops. His eyes could see clearer than anyone in the darkness, and he wanted to spot where Su Huansheng and the other three were hiding.

Sure enough, he found Su Huansheng and the others behind a rock, concealing their own qi.

The toad also came out, squatting on the treetop and complaining, ”QUACK! They even deceived this emperor! They were planning to make a move on you tonight.”

Chu Hao said, dissatisfied, ”If it weren’t for the Six-tailed Demon Fox, I would’ve been surrounded by now. Cooperating with you is even worse than cooperating with her.”

The toad was indignant, ”Don’t underestimate this emperor. Just you wait.”

The toad disappeared without a trace.

Chu Hao looked in the direction of Su Huansheng and the others, sneering in his heart as he moved toward them using Qinggong.

The four of them quietly waited for the Ghost King to come, fully prepared. It was too dark to see clearly. They could only use their senses to distinguish where the Ghost Qi was.

Chu Hao appeared silently behind the four people.

Chu Hao coughed and said, ”What are you doing here late at night without sleeping, playing Fight the Landlord?”

The sudden voice startled the four of them greatly.

They turned around in unison, only to see Chu Hao appear out of nowhere late at night, revealing a row of white teeth.

Playing Fight the Landlord with your sister?! How did this kid show up here?!

Su Huansheng turned to Mu Yue, his expression extremely gloomy.

Mu Yue hurriedly explained, ”I, I clearly...!”

Chu Hao stared at Mu Yue, smiled faintly, and said, ”You lot are too much. Playing Fight the Landlord and you didn’t even invite me. Honestly.”

As he spoke, Chu Hao dispersed the Ghost Qi, releasing the Yang Qi of the living. Looking up at the sky, he said, ”I, the Taoist Master, am here, you brain-dead ghost!”

The Ghost King in the deep mountains had been looking for Chu Hao all along. Upon hearing this, he became furious and roared, ”Living person, where do you think you’re going?”

The four of them wanted to strangle Chu Hao. Didn’t he fall for the trap? How did he end up here?

Now, everyone’s positions were exposed. The plan to ambush the Ghost King had become impossible.

Su Huansheng frowned and said, ”Young friend Chu, I apologize for not informing you about this in advance.”

Chu Hao sneered.

Zhang Chengshan saw the Fierce Ghost Army charging over and angrily said, ”Good-for-nothing and always screwing things up!”

Su Huansheng sighed, ”The power of the Black Water Ghost King is not what it once was; we hoped that a surprise attack might give us some chance of victory, but now that we’ve been discovered, our plan has failed.”

Chu Hao said in surprise, ”You should have said that earlier! I was sleeping so soundly.”

The four of them muttered internally. They had clearly tampered with things, setting up a Formation outside Chu Hao’s tent. Logically, even with the overwhelming Ghost Qi outside, he shouldn’t have been disturbed. What on earth happened?

Zhang Chengshan clearly had a fiery temper and barked, ”Why the hell did you shout? We’ve been discovered!”

Chu Hao’s expression cooled slightly as he said, ”Then I really must apologize for ruining your original plan.”

Su Huansheng changed the subject, ”There’s no helping it now; we can only try to fight.”

Everyone looked towards the Ghost King as the Fierce Ghost Army drew closer, their Ghost Qi sweeping across the mountains.

Su Huansheng was the first to act. He took out a string of Bodhi beads, chanting incantations. A vast Formation appeared around them, summoning golden-armored Soldiers to charge into battle.

Zhang Chengshan gave Chu Hao a cold glare, his fists clenched. The old man erupted with two beams of golden light; a Dragon and a tiger appeared, charging forward into the fray.

The other two weren’t idle either. They each used their abilities to combat the Resentful Ghost Army.

Unfortunately, the Fierce Ghost Army was simply too numerous and seemingly endless. Deeper within, there was an even more formidable Ghost King with his subordinates.

Chu Hao turned to Zhang Chengshan and said, ”I’ll help you.”

With that, he took out the Greenwood Flame Fan he’d been carrying on his back. The bandage wrapped around it fell away, and Chu Hao waved it in Zhang Chengshan’s direction.
