Ghost Catching System

By He Tao’s side, a group of men and women followed—members of the younger generation of the He Family, all of whom looked at He Tao with envy.

He Tao had been lucky. Just a few days prior, he had discovered a Curse Mark—a Second Stage one at that.

A male member of the He Family said enviously, ”Brother Tao, I heard your Curse Mark is really powerful.”

A woman came closer and asked, ”Is this Curse Mark powerful?”

He Tao was full of pride. He had achieved enlightenment concerning the Curse Mark just yesterday and seemed to glimpse a rising hope. What he needed to do now was to become the leader of the younger generation in the He Family and solidify his own status.

”These days, everyone’s been searching for Curse Marks. Most of the ones they find are either incomplete or just First Stage, but mine is a Second Stage one.”

A woman from the He Family said, ”Brother Tao, can we see your Cursed Instrument?”

The items holding the Curse Marks were commonly referred to as Cursed Instruments.

He Tao took out an ancient bronze mirror. It looked quite ordinary, but its effects could only be demonstrated by its master.

The woman from the He Family held it in her hands, looking at it enviously, and asked, ”What does it do?”

He Tao took back the bronze mirror and said, ”Watch closely.”

He Tao recited an incantation and made a gesture over the bronze mirror. It emitted a beam of light that pierced through the wall ahead.

Everyone gasped in astonishment and envy. ”That’s so powerful! Its force is comparable to a bullet!”

He Tao said proudly, ”That’s just the most basic level of power. Once I fully control the Curse Mark, just one reflection from the mirror will vaporize any evil demon or ghost.”

The crowd was envious once again.

Someone laughed and said, ”Brother Tao, revenge is within reach now.”

When revenge was mentioned, He Tao sneered. ”Chu Hao? What’s he worth? Once I’ve mastered the Curse Mark, I’ll wipe him out for sure! Don’t lose heart, everyone. As long as you gain the recognition of a Curse Mark, you’ll have the chance to surpass Chu Hao. He’s nothing special!”

At that moment, a lazy voice said, ”Chu Hao could destroy you with a mere flick of his finger.”

He Tao was furious. Who the hell dared to say such words? He turned around, and his entire being froze, his face stricken with fear.

The young members of the He Family also saw a young man walking over confidently, approaching them. The He Family youths turned pale with fright and scattered, distancing themselves several meters from He Tao.

He Tao was stunned. Damn my luck! Just as I was badmouthing Chu Hao, the man himself appeared! I feel like crying!

”Chu Hao, listen to me!” He Tao spoke in terror, his legs going weak.

Chu Hao said indifferently, ”What was your name again? I’ve beaten you up before.”

”DING! Host has successfully acted pretentious by showing disdain, earning 5,000 Pretentiousness Points.”

He Tao’s heart ached. The other party didn’t even remember his name! He said, ”Brother Hao, when did you get here?”

”Just arrived,” replied Chu Hao expressionlessly.

He Tao, breathing rapidly, said, ”I, uh, have some family matters to attend to, so I won’t keep you company, Brother Hao. Hope to see you again when there’s a chance.”

He Tao turned to run.

However, a kick landed on his backside, sending him face-planting into the ground.

”Did I say you could leave?” Chu Hao said coldly.

He Tao wanted to retaliate, but he feared Chu Hao. If his strike failed, it would be the end for him.

He Tao pleaded, ”Brother Hao, I beg you, spare my life.”

Chu Hao stepped forward and said, ”As for those who wish to wipe me out, this Taoist Master never holds back.”

He Tao was terrified, nearly wetting himself. He knelt to the ground with a THUD, crying, ”Brother Hao, please have mercy!”

Chu Hao was quite satisfied. It seemed his reputation wasn’t unfounded. In reality, he had no intention of actually killing him.

Chu Hao said, ”If you want to live, follow me.”

He Tao wanted to cry. How could he be so unfortunate? What did this Killing Star want with him? Nothing good could come from following him, yet he dared not flee.

As for the young members of the He Family, they all cowered like startled rabbits, looking as if they were about to be slaughtered. There’s no way they’ll save me, He Tao thought with despair.

Therefore, He Tao followed behind Chu Hao, making eye signals to the He Family to come and rescue him.

Chu Hao found the toad and said, ”I have an idea. Let’s have him transform and then feed him some Happy Union Powder.”

The toad looked at He Tao. This unlucky fellow still had no idea what was coming for him.

Chu Hao took out a Transformation Talisman and slapped it onto He Tao. The latter let out a cry of alarm. A beam of light enveloped him, and he transformed into a huge turtle.

He Tao felt like he was about to collapse. What on earth was this?

Chu Hao took out Happy Union Powder and said, ”Eat it.”

”SOB, SOB...” The transformed turtle He Tao desperately shook his head.

Chu Hao said, ”If you don’t eat it, I’ll stew you.”

SOB, SOB... Demon King Chu is too terrifying! If I ever provoke him again, then I’m truly a spineless turtle!

The turtle He Tao swallowed the Happy Union Powder. Soon, his body couldn’t take it anymore, and he started to make strange noises. Were those mating calls?

There were people around who heard the calls and found them strange. They all wanted to come and see what was going on, wondering if there was some treasure to be found.

As a result, they saw a huge turtle WAILING loudly. When they saw Chu Hao, their faces showed bewilderment.

”What is he doing? Who is this person?”

”You don’t know him? He’s the youngest Yin Yang Great Master, Chu Hao.”

”Holy moly, so he’s Chu Hao,” some people murmured among themselves.

Seeing so many onlookers, Chu Hao said, ”Disperse, there’s nothing to see here.”

Someone stepped forward and asked, ”Master Chu, what are you doing?”

”Watching the turtle.”

After the turtle had wailed for a while, everyone found it bizarre. Deciding it was better to look for opportunities elsewhere, they dispersed.

The wait dragged on until midnight. At two o’clock in the morning, a light flashed. Chu Hao was startled; he saw something dart behind the turtle He Tao.

At first glance, it was a small black turtle, about the size of a palm, wiggling its backside, looking excitedly at the giant turtle.

The toad was secretly thrilled. ”That’s it! It really took the bait!”

The darkness didn’t obstruct Chu Hao’s vision. On the back of this small black turtle, there was indeed something, surrounded by a glow, its interior indiscernible.

”Prepare to catch the turtle.”

Turtle He Tao felt suicidal. What was happening? Had his mating calls attracted a small turtle? And was it now... poking around his backside?!

AAAAAH!!

Curse you, Chu Hao! Are you even human? To think I’d be molested by a turtle!

In the shadows, Chu Hao made his move, sealing the area with the True Word ’Lin’ to prevent the small turtle from escaping.

The toad lunged forward, its body swelling to the size of a house, and heavily pressed down.

Turtle He Tao was nearly crushed to death. The small turtle, however, reacted quickly and tried to flee. It then slammed into the spell barrier with a BANG!

The small turtle cried out in pain, cursing, ”Who set me up?”

This turtle could speak human language.

Chu Hao walked over. ”So you’re the divine turtle. Is the Divine Palace on your back?”

The small turtle glanced at Chu Hao, seemingly unfazed by being surrounded, and scoffed, ”Good that you know. Now, let me go!”

The toad shrank to one meter tall. Standing up like a cunning human, he said, ”We want to enter the Divine Palace.”
