Ghost Catching System-Chapter 530 - 529: From Kunlun_1

Chu Hao, with his keen awareness, had noticed these people observing him ever since they entered. They only made small moves after Gui Yan acted. That's right! More than half of the people in the restaurant were here for the Emperor's Yellow Seal, hailing from various factions.

Chu Hao turned to Lan Qi. Mu Xue had recommended the Western restaurant, but Lan Qi had made the reservation.

"Are you also after the Emperor's Yellow Seal?"

Lan Qi shook her head. "I have no idea what's going on; this is purely coincidental."

Chu Hao nodded, tentatively believing her. It had also been a coincidence when Mu Xue called her.

Beside him, Mu Xue was completely dumbfounded, clueless about what was happening, not to mention Li Yinhe and Li Haizhen. Especially Li Haizhen; he stared, jaw agape, as the Golden Iron Rod in Chu Hao's hand elongated.

Chu Hao felt a strong sense of crisis; there had to be numerous ambushes set up here. If Lan Qi didn't prepare this, then how did these people know I would appear here?

The man on the ground got up, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth, his expression ferociously twisted. He sneered, "Haha... how interesting, very interesting. Chu Hao, you really have some skills. Come on then! Become my puppet."

The other people in the restaurant frowned when they heard Gui Yan. Others might not know, but these people were fully aware of Gui Yan's terrifying strength, legendary for his sadistic cruelty.

An attractive young man in casual clothes stood with his hands behind his back and said, "Chu Hao, come with me to Longhu Mountain. I guarantee your safety."

Chu Hao asked, "Who are you?"

The young man replied, "Zhang Chenfeng, a Taoist Priest from Longhu Mountain."

Inside the restaurant, everyone was momentarily stunned. A Taoist Priest from Longhu Mountain was a person of significant standing.

Gui Yan stared at Zhang Chenfeng, licking his lips. He said, "I've never made a puppet from a Taoist Priest before."

Zhang Chenfeng responded indifferently, "Gui Yan, the Three Truths Sect has been rampant lately. With your brutal killings, it's about time you paid the price."

Gui Yan's face twisted with malice as he retorted, "Are you joking? Don't think you're so impressive just because you're a Taoist Priest. I despise people like you, all high and mighty. Killing you and making you into a puppet would be just perfect."

Chu Hao looked at this group. They really think they're something, not even considering Brother Hao at all.

Just as he was about to speak, another voice rang out. "Chu Hao, I come from the depths of Kunlun Mountain, and I would like to invite you for a trip there."

Everyone looked toward the sound, seeing a woman with dense, willow-leaf-like eyebrows and a mature, elegant appearance. She was of mixed heritage, resembling the stunning women from Xinjiang, exuding a mysterious and unapproachable allure. Her beauty was striking, easily an eight out of ten.

Chu Hao inquired curiously, "And who might you be?"

Zhang Chenfeng and Gui Yan were taken aback upon hearing she came from Kunlun Mountain. This beautiful woman had attracted many gazes since she entered, and once she spoke, everyone looked at her in surprise.

Kunlun Mountain, one of the most ancient and famous mountains in Huaxia Country, was known by many titles: the First Divine Mountain, the Mountain of Ancestors, and the Ancestral Dragon Vein. It carried many layers of mystery. On Kunlun Mountain lived a group of mysterious people who called themselves the Kunlun lineage, claiming descent from the Taoist founding master, the Queen Mother of the West. The Kunlun lineage was shrouded in profound mystery. They had acted once, eighteen years ago, during the Underworld turmoil when Foreign Ghosts from the Land of the Vast Ancient attacked the borders of Fengdu. At that time, the betrayal of the Song Emperor had escalated the chaos. A master from Kunlun Mountain emerged and suppressed the turmoil. It was said that the Underworld King himself had requested that being's assistance. Such a sacred mountain, and such a presence, deserved everyone's attention.

The woman smiled faintly. "My name is Ju Zheng Qing, from the depths of Kunlun Mountain."

Chu Hao asked curiously, "People actually live on Kunlun Mountain? Isn't it a tourist area?"

He was indeed very curious. I know about Longhu Mountain and Mao Mountain, but what's the deal with this Kunlun?

Ju Zheng Qing said, "The tourism you're referring to covers only a tiny part of Kunlun. The true Kunlun, Huaxia's First Divine Mountain... I believe you've been to the Shanhai Secret Realm and understand its mysteries."

She even knows I've been to the Shanhai Secret Realm? This world is suddenly very dangerous. They know my background completely, while I know nothing about theirs. I really need to get a good understanding of the Yin and Yang Realm.

Chu Hao said indifferently, "Are you also after the Emperor's Yellow Seal?"

Ju Zheng Qing shook her head. "We know what treasure the Emperor's Yellow Seal holds, but we aren't interested in it. The one we're interested in is you."

Damn! Saying that sends chills down Brother Hao's spine. Interested in me? You probably want to capture me and study me like a lab rat, don't you?

Chu Hao said warily, "I have absolutely no interest in you."

With that, he looked at Zhang Chenfeng and Gui Yan. "Both of you really seem to overestimate yourselves. One wants to kill me, the other wants to take me away. Do you even know the meaning of 'overstepping your bounds'?"

They both frowned upon hearing Chu Hao's words.

Zhang Chenfeng said coldly, "Chu Hao, don't force me to take you away."

Gui Yan, however, licked his lips and said, "I just want the Emperor's Yellow Seal."

Chu Hao shook his head, hands behind his back, completely unfazed. "It seems I've been too lenient with you all. It's time you learned your place. Otherwise, every Tom, Dick, and Harry will think they can challenge this Taoist Master, and that would be very troublesome."

Hearing Chu Hao's words, the group raised their eyebrows. Did he just compare us to Tom, Dick, and Harry?

Ju Zheng Qing also felt helpless. If Chu Hao went with her, she could guarantee no one here would dare act rashly; the deterrent power of Kunlun Mountain was significant. But since Chu Hao had spoken his mind, she also wanted to see just how capable this young man was.

As he spoke, Chu Hao summoned Zhao Yun and pointed at Zhang Chenfeng. "Beat him up first, then we'll talk."

Zhao Yun, holding his spear, bowed. "As you command, My Lord."

Now a Semi-Ghost King, Zhao Yun exuded a domineering presence upon appearing, making Zhang Chenfeng's brow twitch with extreme wariness.

As Zhao Yun thrust his spear, Zhang Chenfeng's sense of danger surged. He quickly retreated. A Yellow Talisman appeared, and he chanted, "Evil spirits and all manner of fiends, hear not my words! Those who hear my incantation shall have their heads burst and brains shattered, crushed to fine dust! Swiftly, swiftly, in accordance with the statutes and ordinances!"

WHOOSH! The Yellow Talisman transformed into a streak of sword light, aimed at Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun shattered it with a spear thrust and lunged for Zhang Chenfeng.

"Go!" Zhang Chenfeng waved his hand. Dozens of Yellow Talismans appeared before him, all transforming into small swords that spun around Zhao Yun.

A smirk touched Zhang Chenfeng's lips as he shouted, "Kill!"

The swords, incredibly fast, lunged at Zhao Yun.

THWIP! THWIP!

Zhao Yun was quickly surrounded by the talisman swords. However, with a loud roar and a shake of his spear, a burst of Ghost Qi erupted around him. The moment the incoming talisman swords made contact with the Ghost Qi, they disintegrated into ashes.

"What?!" Zhang Chenfeng exclaimed in shock.
