Ghost Catching System-Chapter 730 - 729: Homicidal Maniac?_1

What Valley Financial Group? I'm not afraid of these people, Chu Hao thought to himself, wondering how many of Zhang Guanyi's caliber were in pursuit.

Before, he never thought Taoists were that formidable, but after Zhang Guanyi came into the picture, things changed. That old geezer lived to be 170, enduring until the age when the Human World was revived. Who knows how many Taoists there are like him.

I can't stay here any longer.

Lingering in this place was dangerous. It was uncertain when Zhang Guanyi might show up, and the number of Taoist experts was significant. If they ganged up on him, it would be quite troublesome.

Chu Hao turned and vanished into the jungle.

Many people had come to Beacon Tower Mountain; it was a motley crew. Some saw Chu Hao being pursued and truly believed he was injured and just forcing himself to keep going. One after another, they surged into the jungle to search for Chu Hao's tracks.

As the group searched, a blood-curdling scream erupted from their left, causing everyone's hearts to race. When they arrived at the scene, they found the ground littered with corpses, their organs strewn about—a most gruesome sight.

These people belonged to a line of Evil Technique, considered second-tier strength in the Yin and Yang Realm. One of them, a middle-aged man, was an Inborn Expert. Seeing the corpses strewn around, he immediately felt something was terribly wrong.

"Retreat!"

The middle-aged man broke out in a cold sweat.

"Ah, we're not looking anymore?" a dumbstruck youth shouted.

"Look for him? You must be out of your mind," the middle-aged man thought. He didn't want to die.

Although he was an Inborn Expert, only an Inborn Expert would understand Chu Hao's true terror.

It was clear that even if Chu Hao was weakened, he was not someone they could handle.

A streak of killing light appeared, and the young man's body was bisected, dead beyond any doubt.

As the middle-aged man saw Chu Hao's retreating figure, his entire body shivered. He circulated his True Qi and turned to run.

PFFT!

A cold light thrust forward, and a short spear pierced through the middle-aged man's body.

"You're not Chu Hao?"

The middle-aged man coughed up blood. As he pulled out the short spear and saw his assailant approach, his eyes widened in shock—his killer was not Chu Hao at all.

The assailant said coldly, "You talk too much."

The man pulled out the short spear then slit the middle-aged man's throat. He died with his eyes wide open.

The killer took out a jar, formed a seal with one hand, and chanted an incantation. The Ghost of the middle-aged man, still dazed from his recent death, was collected into the jar.

The souls of the other victims were likewise collected into the jar. The man turned and left, continuing to hunt those who entered the jungle.

From time to time, eerie screams emanated from the jungle. When a group of experts arrived, they found bodies all along the path, killed in bloody and brutal ways.

Furthermore, not a single soul was left behind. What did this signify? That the souls were obliterated, never to ascend or reincarnate.

"So cruel," someone gasped upon seeing the scene.

"These people, they were all killed by Chu Hao!" someone said in panic.

Undoubtedly, everyone chose to believe that Chu Hao possessed such capabilities. Could it be that he faked his injuries merely to kill those who pursued him?

Taoists arrived. Upon seeing the trail of bodies—at least a hundred of them—they couldn't help but frown.

Someone cried out, "This person was a Disciple of Qingcheng Mountain, an Inborn Expert!"

People from Qingcheng Mountain arrived, and when they saw the body of one of their own, some of the younger disciples began to wail.

"Uncle Master! You... you died so horribly!"

This Qingcheng Mountain expert had his eyeballs gouged out and his body dismembered, leaving only a bloody head hanging on a tree branch.

Not only was it a tragic death, but even his soul had vanished, as if erased from existence.

"Chu Hao, you will not die a good death!" someone cried aloud.

A Qingcheng Mountain expert's face turned extremely grim. Even if their own people were pursuing Chu Hao, would he really kill their member so miserably? Would he truly disperse the man's soul, his only chance at reincarnation?

"Who is this? A person from Zhongnan Mountain."

Another group of Taoist bodies was discovered, with some recognizing them as people from Zhongnan Mountain.

The people from Zhongnan Mountain were horrified and rushed to the scene. Upon arriving, they saw the ground littered with mutilated corpses and almost vomited, their complexions turning deathly pale.

Each disciple of Zhongnan Mountain had their hearts gouged out and their bodies shredded, covered in blood. They were beyond dead, and their souls were also gone.

Countless faces paled at the sight. All these people had been in pursuit of Chu Hao, and now they had all met a tragic end.

Someone from Zhongnan Mountain lost their temper. A middle-aged man, appearing to be around fifty, furiously exclaimed, "Chu Hao, may you suffer a terrible death!"

Savage—this was the impression everyone currently had of Chu Hao.

"Pursue! We must kill such a venomous person," declared an expert from Qingcheng Mountain.

The first to catch up had all been brutally killed in the jungle. Everyone's faces were ice-cold, not only those from the reputable sects but also those from the Evil Technique sects.

The people from Longhu Mountain arrived; they had said they would give Chu Hao an hour's head start. When they reached the scene, they couldn't help but frown.

Zhang Zhonghao's face was pale as he asked, "Master, did Chu Hao do this?"

Zhang Guanyi, white-haired and with an icy gaze, said seriously, "This young man is unexpectedly cruel. We underestimated him."

Zhang Zhonghao said coldly, "Issue the order: Elders will pursue Chu Hao. Everyone else, retreat."

"Yes."

Only Elder-level individuals were qualified to pursue Chu Hao. Anyone of lesser rank would likely be marching to their death.

Some from the Heretic Path also issued orders to pursue Chu Hao.

At this moment, the Yin and Yang Realm was issuing a manhunt for Chu Hao. His murderous methods were exposed, filling countless people with horror.

That day, one hundred twenty-three people died tragically in the jungle; one-fifth of them were Taoists.

Unbeknownst to Chu Hao, he was now on the wanted list of the Yin and Yang Realm.

By this time, he had fully recovered and had flagged down a car on the highway to leave.

Once in the car, Chu Hao turned on his mobile phone and discovered that too many people were looking for him—Yi Qinglian, Luo Yan, and many other friends.

He saw a message from Dong Qi indicating he was wanted by the Yin and Yang Realm.

Chu Hao was stunned. It was true that he had a grudge with Longhu Mountain, but was it necessary for the entire Yin and Yang Realm to target him?

Chu Hao called Dong Qi and asked, "Why am I wanted?"

Dong Qi, somewhat afraid of the current Chu Hao, replied, "My lord, didn't you kill all the people who were chasing you in the jungle near the highway?"

He wanted to mention the cruelty of the killings but dared not.

Chu Hao was taken aback. He had only dealt with those shooting at him before leaving. When did he kill everyone?

After hanging up, Chu Hao felt something was strange.

At that moment, Zhao Gousheng called. "Master Chu," he said, "you've gone too far this time."

Chu Hao responded, "Speak plainly. How have I gone too far?"

Zhao Gousheng was speechless. He was now somewhat fearful of this Killing Star; friendly and jovial at times, yet a ruthless Killing Star when cold.

Zhao Gousheng finally said, "You shouldn't have killed those people. Not to mention the cruelty, you didn't even spare their souls."

Chu Hao understood now. "I didn't kill those people," he said.

"Ah?" Zhao Gousheng uttered, visibly confused.

Chu Hao said coldly, "It seems someone is trying to frame me."

He hung up the phone. Saying anything more was pointless now, as everyone believed he had killed all his pursuers with extreme brutality.

Who wants to hurt me? The first person Chu Hao thought of was Su Huansheng.
