Ghost Catching System-Chapter 497 - 496: The Appearance of Emperor Bai Jiang_1

Chapter 497: Chapter 496: The Appearance of Emperor Bai Jiang_1

"In recent years, the evil sects and the Nine Gates of Huaxia have indeed grown very arrogant. It is time to weed out some of these unstable elements."

A young man casually strolled in. He was dressed in a black Taoist robe, handsome and dashing, with two swords strapped to his back. He was very young, around twenty-three or twenty-four, with eyes as sharp as a knife’s edge.

Zhang Tai stared at the young man, his expression shifting slightly as he asked, "Are you Mao Mountain’s Taoist Priest, Wang Junshu?"

Taoist Priest?

Upon hearing this, everyone’s expressions changed dramatically.

In Taoism, each major sect had a powerful Taoist Priest, a figure who was a likely candidate to become the next sect leader.

Whether in the Mao Mountain Taoist Sect or Longhu Mountain, a Taoist Priest’s strength had to be formidable, bordering on monstrous, to be chosen for the position.

Mao Mountain, part of Huaxia’s ancient Shangqing Sect of Taoism, possessed a profound heritage.

While the Nine Gates of Huaxia wielded secular power and influence, comparing them to Mao Mountain was like pitting an amateur against a professional—they were leagues apart. Wang Junshu, as the Mao Mountain Taoist, was far more terrifying than any genius from the Nine Gates.

No one recognized the name Wang Junshu, but if he was indeed *the* Taoist Priest, the name itself hardly mattered.

Wang Junshu was very young, about twenty-three years old, with sharp, piercing eyes, well-proportioned facial features, a handsome face, and a stature of over six feet tall. His arrival immediately put pressure on everyone present.

The Ghost Lady’s expression also changed. "Taoist Priest," she said, "Mao Mountain is a renowned and righteous sect. Do you also covet the Ghost King Fetus?"

Wang Junshu didn’t even glance at the Ghost Lady. "The Ghost King Fetus can only exhibit its greatest power in the hands of Mao Mountain," he stated flatly. "None of you are worthy of possessing it."

Hearing this, everyone’s expressions turned even uglier. The presence of the Mao Mountain Taoist was crushing.

Chu Hao was somewhat surprised. The Mao Mountain’s Taoist Priest held significant deterrent power. When these people had made their entrance, each one was brimming with arrogance. Yet, upon Wang Junshu’s appearance, they seemed utterly suppressed. Had they all turned timid?

Chu Hao wasn’t convinced. This was Anli City, Brother Hao’s turf! How dare they strut around and show off here without asking his permission?

Seeing that everyone’s attention was focused on Wang Junshu and not him, Chu Hao said with great displeasure, "It’s quite lively today, with both the righteous and evil sects in attendance. If you ask me, you can all just fuck off back to wherever you came from."

DING. Host has successfully shown off, earning 900 Pretentiousness Points.

Everyone looked at Chu Hao, a strange feeling washing over them. Is this kid out of his mind or what?

Every person present was a renowned figure, yet he dared to berate them so brazenly.

The Ghost Lady, her peach blossom eyes glinting, said coldly, "Little boy, I heard you have the True Word Brush. Fine, I’ll be taking it with me today."

Chu Hao, still stepping on the Ghost King Fetus, grew even more annoyed. Damn this guy for stepping so hard! the unlucky Ghost King Fetus silently cursed, the agony intense enough to make it shriek.

Chu Hao retorted, "Old hag, give it a try if you dare!"

The Ghost Lady was enraged. Given her reputation in the outside world, no one had ever dared to address her like this.

Her tone turned ice-cold, thick with murderous intent. "Are you seeking death?"

Around the Ghost Lady, three disheveled female ghosts materialized, their toes brushing the ground. An eerie, ghostly aura emanated from them, and the air grew chilly.

Such potent Ghost Qi! They were all Top-level Dark Killing Ghosts.

No wonder she’s so arrogant; the Ghost Lady certainly has some skill. But just three Top-level Dark Killing Ghosts? Is Brother Hao supposed to be scared? What a joke! If you have more, bring out a whole swarm! Chu Hao thought contemptuously.

The man with the red-haired mask seemed unable to control himself, his blood-red eyes fixed on Chu Hao. Drawing the scimitar from his back, he said coldly, "Chu Hao, today is the day you die."

This person exuded an aura of extreme danger, and his entire being reeked of blood.

Yan Furong also sighed. "Chu Hao, you are too young. You have no idea how terrifying the Yin and Yang Realm truly is."

Yan Furong’s eyes turned a brilliant purple-gold, and a powerful pressure emanated from her, oppressing everyone present.

Wang Junshu looked at Yan Furong in shock, his voice deep as he uttered, "The Yin-Yang Blazing Heavenly Pupil."

Chu Hao, equally surprised, blurted out, "24k Aluminum Alloy Dog Eyes."

Everyone: "..."

A muscle twitched at the corner of Yan Furong’s mouth; she almost lost her composure and attacked. Her Yin-Yang Blazing Heavenly Pupil, described in such vulgar terms!

Yan Furong was very beautiful, but at this moment, her expression was furious. "This is the Blazing Heavenly Pupil!" she corrected sharply.

Chu Hao patted his chest. "No difference to me," he said dismissively.

Damn him! Yan Furong was livid. Such a sublime power, and Chu Hao had to describe it so crudely!

Wang Junshu withdrew his surprised gaze and said indifferently, "Chu Hao, are you willing to follow me?"

He drew the longsword from his back. Its blade was covered in runes, an exquisitely crafted weapon. His aura was no weaker than Yan Furong’s; in fact, Chu Hao could sense an intense, righteous power emanating from him, a power that also hinted at extreme danger.

As for Zhang Tai from Longhu Mountain, his status was self-evident; he was one of Longhu Mountain’s top figures.

Chu Hao was somewhat speechless. These people possessed genuine skills, unlike the paper tigers he had encountered before. Wang Junshu and Yan Furong, in particular, exerted immense pressure on him.

It was clear that everyone present had come for the Ghost King Fetus.

However, Chu Hao wanted to kill the Ghost King Fetus. Wasn’t that a direct conflict?

He was internally struggling, wondering if he should just make a run for it. After all, he was confident in his speed.

Just then, a mirror materialized out of thin air about five meters in front of him. A man, his hands clasped behind his back, calmly strolled out of it. Seeing this person, Chu Hao’s mouth twitched.

He had silver hair and refined features, and he exuded an oppressive aura that surpassed everyone present.

Emperor Bai Jiang, Lord of the Nether Cult.

The last time Chu Hao had accompanied Emperor Bai Jiang to the Underworld, he had even live-streamed his audacious behavior, putting Emperor Bai Jiang in quite a predicament.

In fact, Chu Hao was also secretly glad. Emperor Bai Jiang was incredibly strong, at least on par with Black and White Impermanence.

The appearance of Emperor Bai Jiang put everyone on high alert. None of them had ever seen him before and had no idea who he was.

Emperor Bai Jiang looked at Chu Hao and smiled. "Chu Hao, we meet again, eh?"

What is this old monster doing here? Chu Hao wondered.

Despite Emperor Bai Jiang’s youthful appearance, his true age was well over a century. His background was also terrifying; he was affiliated with the Demon Emperor’s faction.

Who is this person? everyone wondered simultaneously. No one made a move; this newcomer seemed even more dangerous than Wang Junshu and Zhang Tai.

Chu Hao, his face cold, asked, "What are you doing here?"

Emperor Bai Jiang turned to face Wang Junshu and the others, a laugh escaping him. "The so-called righteous sects and demonic heretics... there’s no true justice or evil. True evil lies within the human heart."

Looking at Chu Hao, Emperor Bai Jiang continued, "Mao Mountain and Longhu Mountain are the two orthodox Taoist sects. What would they want with the Ghost King Fetus, an extremely evil Ghost Demon, if not to strengthen their own Taoism? In this world, there is no inherent right or wrong, only the survival of the fittest."

Chu Hao pressed, "What exactly are you getting at?"

Emperor Bai Jiang said earnestly, "Chu Hao, join the Demon Emperor’s side! In the upcoming game, only those who survive will be the true kings. As for these minor characters, they’re not even fit to carry your shoes."
