Ghost Catching System-Chapter 587 - 586 Falling into the Demonic Path_1
Everyone was thoroughly shocked, their faces filled with terror.
Chu Hao waved his hand and said indifferently, "Tampering with the Three Souls and Seven Spirits? Such a low-level tactic. This Taoist Master can resolve it in minutes."
"DING... Host has successfully shocked and shown off, earning 2,000 Pretentious Points."
"DING... Host has successfully shocked and shown off, earning 2,000 Pretentious Points."
Daoist Min Ran's eyes widened, and the calm in his heart once again began to race. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Damn it, didn't you say this tactic was clever?
"Master!" Qiu Yun'er cried out in joy, throwing herself into her master's embrace, crying like a little flower cat.
Upon seeing Yun'er, Zhong Minyue let out a sigh of relief and looked gratefully towards Chu Hao.
Daoist Wu Jian was elated and said, "Zhong Shizhi, you've finally woken up. It seems Master Chu's methods are highly skilled, truly remarkable."
The other Taoist priests nodded in agreement; indeed, very impressive.
Zhong Minyue patted Qiu Yun'er on the shoulder, stepped forward, and said with a bow, "Greetings to all Taoist Uncles. I, your niece, have something to say."
With that, she pointed at Daoist Min Ran and said, "Taoist Uncles, Daoist Uncle Min Ran has fallen into the way of demons. My unconsciousness this time was his doing."
As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere exploded.
Daoist Min Ran has fallen into the way of demons?
Zhong Minyue coldly said, "Daoist Uncle Min Ran, I discovered that you were colluding with Evil Demons and intended to harm me. If it weren't for Master Chu's presence, I'm afraid you would have also harmed Yun'er, right?"
Daoist Min Ran was now too nervous to speak.
Daoist Wu Jian quickly asked, "Niece, you can't speak recklessly. Can you explain clearly what's going on?"
Zhong Minyue nodded and said, "I discovered that Daoist Uncle Min Ran was colluding with Evil Demons, and then he attacked me. He also planned to send my disciple to the ancestral lands, thereby harming Yun'er."
Wu Jian turned to Daoist Min Ran and demanded, "Junior Brother, you!"
The tense Daoist Min Ran finally snapped back to reality, angrily saying, "Niece, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Zhong Minyue sternly said, "Everyone, if I, Zhong Minyue, tell even half a lie, may lightning strike me, and may I not die a good death."
Daoist Min Ran's expression darkened as he said, "You can say what you want, but you need to provide evidence."
Evidence!
To be honest, Zhong Minyue had no evidence, and this troubled her.
Chu Hao smiled and said, "What evidence do we need? Just let me examine him, right?"
Daoist Min Ran glared angrily at Chu Hao. It was this youngster who dared to sabotage his plans. How could he dare to let Chu Hao examine him? This youngster's methods were too clever; if he really found something, wouldn't it reveal everything?
"Let him examine," the mysterious voice in his mind commanded.
"Hmph! Although he resolved the poison I planted, he won't be able to examine and find me inside your body. Even if his cultivation reached the level of Inborn Experts, it's impossible."
Upon hearing this, Daoist Min Ran rejoiced inwardly but calmly said, "Fine, then you do the examination. If you find nothing, I will lock you in the iron prison."
"You think you can lock me up just because you say so?" Chu Hao said with disdain.
Daoist Min Ran gritted his teeth. I'll let you be arrogant for a little while longer.
Chu Hao walked up to him, observed for a while, and indeed saw nothing abnormal, then directly said, "System, any good recommendations?"
System: "Recommend the Host purchase the Mirror of Truth, requiring 8,000 Pretentious Points."
Examining him actually requires 8,000 Pretentious Points? That's a bit too expensive. Chu Hao said, "Isn't there something cheaper? I don't want to waste Pretentiousness Points on him."
System: "Recommend the Host purchase the Talisman of Truth, a single-use item, requiring 2,000 Pretentious Points."
"Purchased."
"DING... Host has purchased the Talisman of Truth, consuming 2,000 Pretentious Points."
Chu Hao extended his hand, and a Yellow Talisman appeared. Holding the talisman, he recited an incantation, "Evil Spirits of heaven and earth, you can hide no longer! Follow my command with haste!"
Following that, he slapped the talisman onto Daoist Min Ran's body.
Daoist Min Ran maintained a calm facade, though deep inside, he was very nervous. However, seeing no reaction after a long while and feeling no different himself, his contempt grew, and he was about to scoff.
Suddenly, Daoist Wu Jian, who was beside them, cried out in heartbroken fury, "Min Ran, you've actually fallen into the demonic path!"
Min Ran was taken aback. As he looked up, he saw a strong surge of Ghost Demon Qi being revealed from his body, and behind him was a ghastly and fierce face.
At first glance, the shrewd and cunning face with a head full of yellow hair was undoubtedly that of a Yellow Weasel, yet it also bore a resemblance to a human!
This... I'm exposed!
Min Ran's face was filled with disbelief as he looked at the face of the Yellow Weasel, a mix of bewilderment and furious desperation in his eyes.
The Yellow Weasel's face was also filled with ferocity as it snarled, "Human, you've ruined my plans! I shall devour you!"
Chu Hao stood with his hands behind his back, speaking indifferently, "So that's what you are, just a Yellow Weasel. Tsk tsk… Mount Taiding has really stooped so low as to collude with a mere Yellow Weasel."
Hearing Chu Hao's words, the other Taoist priests who still couldn't quite believe it bowed their heads in shame.
"DING... Host has successfully shown off, gaining 2,000 Pretentious Points."
"DING... Host has completed the task, gaining two million Experience Points."
"DING... Host has completed the task, earning 50,000 Merit Points."
"DING... Host has completed the task and received a Diamond Treasure Chest."
System prompt: S-rank task triggered. Devour the peak Semi Demon King Yellow Weasel.
System prompt: Completing the task will grant six million Experience Points.
System prompt: Completing the task will grant 80,000 Merit Points.
System prompt: Completing the task will grant a Green Diamond Treasure Chest.
This Yellow Weasel is actually a peak Semi Demon King! The rewards are quite generous indeed.
Chu Hao looked at the Yellow Weasel and asked the System, "Must I devour it?"
System: "Yes, devouring it is required to complete the task."
Chu Hao was speechless. What kind of bizarre task is this? he thought, then said with disgust, "This demon hasn't eaten humans before, has it? You're asking me to eat it? How am I supposed to stomach that?"
System: "The System will not harm the Host. Detection confirmed that the Yellow Weasel became a spirit by consuming three-thousand-year-old ginseng. Devouring it will greatly benefit the Host and enhance your True Qi."
Chu Hao's eyes glittered with golden light, and he said, practically drooling, "Then I must carefully consider how to eat it."
Chu Hao's remarks made the Taoist priests look sullen, but they were even more furious with Min Ran.
Daoist Wu Jian said furiously, "Junior Brother Min Ran, do you have anything to say for yourself?!"
The Daoist priest holding a whisk shook his head, "Brother Min Ran, you have deeply disappointed us."
"Brother, why have you fallen into the demonic path?"
"Min Ran, what were your true intentions?"
A series of accusations and expressions of heartache targeted Daoist Min Ran from all directions.
Daoist Min Ran's complexion turned ugly, flushing red and then pale. Suddenly, he bellowed, "I have racked my brains for Mount Taiding! What have any of you done? Why did you only make me the acting Temple Master and not the actual Temple Master?"
"Mushan goes wandering in the Human World, washing his hands clean of all responsibilities! I don't think I'm worse than him. Why didn't you choose me as the Temple Master in the first place? It's all of you who forced me into this, forced me!"
Min Ran roared, his face contorted with extreme ferocity and rage, filled to the brim with hatred.
