Bleach: No cheat codes, he joined Aizen's side.

Chapter 29. None of them are good people.
The air was still cold, and the falling snowflakes were blocked by the established spiritual energy shield.

With his feet firmly planted on the freshly melted snow, Higashino Shuichi sized up the elderly Grim Reaper.

In his memory, Yunjing Yaojue seemed to have appeared in the Baku Yaodao incident, but there wasn't much about him. The focus was more on the captain, Amagai Shusuke, so Higashino Shuichi didn't know much about him either.

"Well then, Manager Kumoi, I think it might be inappropriate for you to describe this sword as a Zanpakuto. I've never seen a Zanpakuto that doesn't revert to its Asauchi form after its master dies!"

Furthermore, to my knowledge, no Zanpakuto has ever had multiple masters!

Higashino Shuichi pointed his knife at Kumoi Yosuke, warning the latter not to try to get any closer.

The latter stopped in his tracks. "Whether you consider it a Zanpakuto or not, it doesn't really matter. The important thing is, why did you deliberately bring us here? I think you should tell me now, right?"

If by this point, Yosuke Kumoi still cannot realize that Shuichi Higashino consciously chose this location, then all his years as the butler of the Kasumigaoji family have been in vain.

"Aren't you worried that I've already told Captain Yoruichi Shihōin of the Second Division about this?"

Higashino Shuichi asked in a calm tone.

Faced with this old fox, Higashino Shuichi knew he absolutely could not let the other party hold him by the nose; he had to firmly grasp the initiative in the conversation.

"Heh, aren't you worried that I'll tell Captain Unohana of the Fourth Division that you didn't actually stay in the human world during your vacation, but instead secretly went to Hueco Mundo?"

As the butler of the Kasumioji family, whose strength in Soul Society is second only to the five noble families, Yosuke Kumoi naturally couldn't have simply learned about Shuichi Higashino before coming here.

With more than a day of buffer time, he had enough time to thoroughly investigate all of Higashino Shuichi's resume. Among these was an interesting detail: just a few days earlier, the captain of the Fourth Division, Unohana Retsu, had specifically gone to the Thirteenth Division to inquire about Higashino Shuichi's whereabouts.

Normally, this might just be a captain's normal concern, but in this case, Yun Jingyao absolutely refused to believe that such a coincidence could happen.

Whether or not Higashino Shuichi himself was aware of this matter, it was enough for Yunjing Yaojue to use it as a bargaining chip.

And coincidentally, Higashino Shuichi was indeed aware that he was already being suspected by Unohana Retsu.

Therefore, it is now Higashino Hideaki's turn to have a headache.

Yun Jingyao also sensed something.
impossible?

But if it weren't for that, he would never have threatened me with Unohana Retsu for no reason.
A mental storm swept through Higashino Shuichi's mind.

When he looked at Yun Jingyao again, a bright red "danger" character had appeared above the latter's head.

"Hehe, it seems we can sit down and have a proper talk!"

Higashino Shuichi resisted the urge to kill Kumoi Yosuke right there.

Because Yun Jingyaojue's identity is that of the Kasumi Oji family's butler, he is not like those insignificant Grim Reapers he killed before. To put it bluntly, even killing a captain might not have caused as serious consequences as killing Yun Jingyaojue.

However, this does not mean that Higashino Shuichi will not take action against Kumoi Yosuke.

After all, Yun Jingyao was just difficult to kill, not impossible.

Unlike Retsu Unohana, he was truly no match for him. Even if Aizen wanted to kill him, he couldn't. Even if Aizen called for help, he wouldn't rashly fight Retsu Unohana for his sake.

"Give us back the Zanpakuto Raika that's at your feet, and I'll give you a chance to explain."

To everyone's surprise, Yun Jingyao simply chuckled and shook his head, then gave an order to Dongye Xiuyi in an unquestionable tone.

Higashino Hideichi smiled.

“I have no problem with bullying others, but going too far is unacceptable. You seem to have forgotten something,” Higashino Shuichi’s voice grew lower and lower, then he said in an almost emotionless tone, “I’m not exactly a good person either!”

"Hado #78, Slay the Flower Wheel!"

With a single swing of his sword, Higashino Shuichi unleashed a crescent-shaped demonic blade, creating two towering shockwaves on the ground.

"Little tricks!"

Yun Jingyao sneered and stretched out his left hand.

"Eighty One of the Binding Dao, Duan Kong!"

Similarly, abandoning the chanting of the Demonic Path, a massive spiritual particle defensive wall rose before Yun Jing Yao Jue. The Demonic Path blades formed by the Zhan Hua Lun struck it without leaving any mark, and even the force of the explosion was weakened.

"This spiritual pressure is already very close to that of a captain."

Higashino Shuichi's eyes darkened.

With this level of spiritual pressure, coupled with the combat experience that Kumoi Yojuku would almost certainly have at his age, it basically means that if Higashino Shuichi wants to defeat Kumoi Yojuku in a short period of time, he must unleash his full spiritual pressure.

But that would mean he really had to get rid of Yun Jingyao here, otherwise he would leave another handle for Yun Jingyao to use against him.

"Don't think that just because you can easily defeat the assassins hired by the Kasumi family, you have the right to be arrogant. You have crossed the red line that you should never have crossed!"

Yunjing Yaojue stood in mid-air, looking down arrogantly at Higashino Shuichi below.

If he hadn't felt that a grim reaper like Higashino Shuichi, destined to live in the gutter, had some value, he wouldn't have even given Higashino Shuichi the chance to be arrogant in front of him.

So what if he's hiding some of his strength? As long as you don't break through to the captain level, you're no match for him!
Even if Higashino Shuichi truly reached the captain level, facing a behemoth like the Kasumioji family, a rat like him would only have one path to take: to submit.

Normally, Yun Jingyao's judgment would be perfectly correct, but unfortunately he encountered Higashino Shuichi, a Grim Reaper who had already secured the strongest backer for the next hundred years.

"Life is rarely about acting impulsively, but I'm willing to pay the price for this one."

After a moment of silence, Higashino Shuichi uttered these words in a low voice.

Above, Yun Jingyao vaguely heard the word "impulse," and a sense of foreboding suddenly welled up in his heart.

"Impossible. He's just a Grim Reaper who couldn't even keep his vice-captain position. Even if he has some hidden strength, it's impossible."

Yun Jingyao comforted himself in his heart.

However, the next second, a terrifying spiritual pressure covered the entire space. The oppressive feeling, which was so real, shocked Yun Jingyao.

"You actually have a captain."

Before he could finish speaking, a bolt of lightning struck first, paralyzing his body.

"The fourth broken path, Bai Lei!"

Immediately afterwards, Yunjing Yaojue's vision was completely occupied by Higashino Shuichi's body.

"Advance, soldiers! Those who command armies govern people!"

The dark green Zanpakuto was instantly unleashed, its blade shimmering with a pure white light.
