Ghost Catching System

On the other side of the door, Chu Hao was leaning against the wall, his heart thumping wildly in shock.

Did I just gain three billion yuan like that?

Doesn’t that mean I’m now a multi-billionaire!

I’ve struck it rich, I’ve really struck it rich.

Chu Hao was as giddy as a child, hopping around the hotel room. With so many assets and so much money, he could spend his whole life without running out.

Just a few months ago, he was an ordinary person, still worrying about his next meal. Now, he unexpectedly had three billion yuan in assets. He could hardly believe it.

I’m truly too outstanding.

After being self-absorbed for a while, Chu Hao realized he was getting a bit carried away.

His mind involuntarily recalled the figure with the S-curved body and he muttered speechlessly, "This woman is coming again, does she really think Brother Hao doesn’t dare to take a bite?"

Helpless, as a passionate young man, it was only natural to have such urges—that’s what made a man.

When the doorbell rang again, he thought it was Liu Qingyan coming back. Chu Hao was ready to teach her a harsh lesson.

But it wasn’t Liu Qingyan outside; it was Liang Qian.

Liang Qian quickly said, "Sect Master, the Underworld Deity has awakened, and he has something he wants to say to you."

Chu Hao frowned and scoffed, "What could he possibly want to say."

Liang Qian explained, "He wants to make a deal with you."

Begging wouldn’t work, and neither would threats, so the Underworld Deity had no choice but to think of negotiating.

"Fine, I’ll be there in a bit."

Liang Qian said, "Sect Master, I shall take my leave first."

After washing up and dressing, Chu Hao went to another room where Dong Qi was guarding the Underworld Deity.

When Dong Qi saw Chu Hao arrive, only then did he step out of the room.

Chu Hao sneered, "What do you want from me?"

The Underworld Deity looked exhausted. The energy he expended yesterday had almost led to his collapse, and he said, "I want to make a deal with you."

Chu Hao replied indifferently, "Let’s hear it."

The Underworld Deity stared at Chu Hao and said word by word, "About the news of your parents."

Chu Hao walked over, grabbed him, and lifted him up. His expression turned incredibly serious and cold as he demanded, "Where are my parents?"

Taking a deep breath, the Underworld Deity said, "I’ll give you the news if you let me go. That’s the deal."

Chu Hao threw him to the ground and the Ghost-whipping Whip appeared in his hand.

The Underworld Deity saw the Ghost-whipping Whip and exclaimed in terror, "Chu Hao!! It’s fine if you don’t want to make a deal, just pretend I never said anything."

Chu Hao asked coldly, "Where are my parents?"

The Underworld Deity was conflicted, regretting telling Chu Hao. He had thought they could negotiate properly but had underestimated how desperately Chu Hao wanted news of his parents.

The Underworld Deity proposed, "How about you let me go, and I’ll tell you."

Chu Hao’s gaze was icy and frightening. The Underworld Deity felt a wave of fear from within, now completely unsure whether Chu Hao would actually let him go.

Chu Hao stated, "I promise you."

"Really?" The Underworld Deity couldn’t believe it; after all, Chu Hao’s tricks had left him with psychological scars.

Chu Hao almost roared, "Tell me, where exactly are my parents!"

The Underworld Deity hurriedly responded, "In the Great Netherworld of the Underworld."

The Great Netherworld!

This was the first time Chu Hao had heard of it, and he asked, "What is the Great Netherworld?"

The Underworld Deity explained, "The Underworld is far more complicated than you imagine. The Great Netherworld is, in a way, both within and beyond the Underworld and is guarded by Empress Houtu. Your parents are inside."

Chu Hao demanded, "Tell me, how can I get into the Great Netherworld."

"It’s difficult. You need unanimous approval from more than seven Yanjuns to enter the Great Netherworld."

Chu Hao’s eyes were bitterly cold, and it was unclear what he was thinking. The Underworld Deity had a bad feeling.

"Are they dead or alive? Or! Are my parents there willingly or were they forced?"

Finally, he broached the crux of the matter. The Underworld Deity took a deep breath and said, "Your parents are dead, but not truly dead. Anything is possible in the Great Netherworld. Moreover, your parents were forced in there by King Qin Yama and King Qin Guang."

Chu Hao narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "What proof do you have that it was King Qin Guang? Don’t treat me like a three-year-old. Could it be that King Qin Guang has a grudge against you?"

The Underworld Deity shook his head and said, "I’m not lying to you. The Underworld Recruitment Plan was proposed by King Qin Guang. You have no idea how many people in the Yang Realm died, or how many were recruited into the Underworld, because of his proposal."

"Recruitment Plan!" Chu Hao furrowed his brows.

The Underworld Deity continued, "Eighteen years ago, the Song Emperor rebelled, causing chaos in the Underworld. Following the death of the Ghost Emperor Shen Tu, many talented individuals from the Yang Realm were recruited by the Underworld. Your parents were among them."

Chu Hao asked again, "My parents were recruited when I was just born, right?"

The Underworld Deity confirmed, "Yes."

So, this was the true reason why his parents had abandoned him.

Initially, Chu Hao believed that his parents cruelly left him behind. Later, when he learned about the disappearance of the whole Chu Family, he began to understand—how could any parent willingly abandon their child!

Thus, he started to believe there was an unspeakable dilemma behind their actions.

At last, he had learned the truth—all the troubles were caused by the Underworld.

"Haha..." Chu Hao suddenly burst into laughter, frightening the Underworld Deity.

"What a remarkable Underworld."

Chu Hao’s expression was stern, and a chilling ruthlessness radiated from him, which was particularly terrifying.

The Underworld Deity, with a strange glint in his eyes, could feel the hatred emanating from Chu Hao.

"I’ll let you go," Chu Hao said with a wave of his hand.

Afterwards, the Underworld Deity realized that he could finally leave his host body. He was immensely shocked. What method had Chu Hao used? With just a wave of his hand, the deity had regained his freedom.
