Chapter 242 shows it, and then what?
At this time, the full moon had risen to the middle of the sky, and the sky had completely darkened, plunging the entire Soul Society into darkness.

The Soul Society is different from the real world. The lamps are all oil-powered, not electricity, so there is no such thing as bright lights at night.

But now that Liehuo has invaded, the captain-general has already given the order to search for Liehuo's whereabouts overnight. As a result, torches can be seen moving in the streets and alleys of Seireitei, lighting up the dark Seireitei with little lights.

Under such circumstances, there was not even a single fire light in the area near the water not far from the Third Squad's barracks.

Xing Jun's men were all dressed in black, even their faces were covered. They almost blended into the darkness, yet they exuded a faint murderous aura.

Soi-Feng looked at Aize, who had a calm expression on his face, and took a deep breath.

"Are you not even going to make an excuse?"

Soi Feng's tone turned cold, which showed how bad her mood was.

On the other hand, Aize seemed to not take the Xing Jun around him and the captain of the second squad in front of him seriously at all, and spoke calmly.

"I do plan to go shopping first, because I haven't decided where to go yet." Aize counted on his fingers and said, "Should I go to the Palace of Confessions first? Or should I go to the Central 46th Room first? Or should I just meet those travel disasters first?"

"I haven't even thought about it yet, and you guys are here."

"So, I'm not making excuses."

Soi-Fong's expression became extremely grim.

"Go back." Broken Bee said coldly, "If you go back now, I will pretend that I didn't see anything."

"How can I do that?" Aize said with a half-smile, "Don't we have to catch the traveller? How can I go back and sit around doing nothing at this time?"

"Just a few troublemakers, why do we need the captain to take action?" Soi-Fong said expressionlessly: "Besides, that idiot Zaraki has already been dispatched, his action will be enough."

"That's not necessarily true." Aize shook his head and said meaningfully, "Zangmu won't really do anything to capture a few Liehuo. On the contrary, he might make some concessions just to fight Liehuo and let the other side gain the upper hand."

"In order to enjoy the fight, that guy might not even use his real strength. Not to mention swordsmanship, he won't even take off his blindfold until the very last moment."

"It would be fine if he encounters an ordinary opponent, but if he encounters the type that gets stronger during the battle, or even suddenly bursts out with amazing strength, then there is only one outcome for him."

"That's defeat."

Aize's words, which sounded like a prophecy, did not shake Soi-Fong.

"Don't think you can look down on Zaraki just because you defeated him once. After all, he is a freak who can become the captain with only a sword. He hasn't even mastered Bankai, and his Shikai is not complete." Soi-Fong said unmoved: "He became the captain of the 11th Division by defeating the previous captain. How could a battle maniac like that be defeated by just a few Ryukyuu?"

"Really?" Aize smiled disapprovingly, "So that's why Captain Soi-Feng has the leisure to come here and monitor me personally?"

"Your words are too dangerous, Aize." Soi-Feng's tone was still cold, and she said, "Soul Society has been operating in its current order for who knows how many years. How can you, a rising star who is not even a hundred years old, challenge it?"

"Just because there have been several times where the results haven't been found to be abnormal?"

"Don't make me laugh. Compared to the millions of years of history of Soul Society, a few anomalies are nothing."

The implication of Soi-Fong's words was obvious, she thought Aize was making a big deal out of nothing.

The history of Soul Society is extremely long, and the current order has existed from a very long time ago to the present. The Central Forty-six has an even longer history than the Gotei 13, so what could go wrong?
What are a few anomalies? Aren’t there enough anomalies in the long history of Soul Society?

But doesn’t Soul Society still exist today?

Soi Feng knew very well that some things were not actually problematic, but they could not be pursued, otherwise it would cause trouble and cause accidents.

There are not too many nobles in the Soul Society, but not too few either. There are even rumored royal family members and royal spies. These people may be planning something behind the scenes to achieve a certain goal or gain certain benefits.

And their actions may lead to the so-called "abnormalities".

For example, Rukia Kuchiki. After all, she is a member of the Kuchiki family, the leader of the four noble families. It is indeed a bit exaggerated that she is now sentenced to double death, but who knows if this is the work of the Kuchiki family's enemies behind the scenes?

This is a game between the great nobles, and has little to do with the Shinigami of the Gotei 13. Even if it does, it is something that the Sixth Division needs to deal with, and it is not to the point where others need to interfere.

Soi-Fong is also of noble birth. She is also the captain of the Xing Army and the commander of a secret and mobile corps. She has come into contact with countless dark sides of the Soul Society, so she will not question the Central Forty-Six and challenge the authority of Soul Society just because of a few abnormalities.

However, if Aize, as the captain of the Gotei 13, is going to touch things that he shouldn't touch, then she can't be polite and must stop him or even kill him in advance.

Soi-Fong felt that this was also what Captain-General Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni was thinking.

Therefore, she would not ignore what Aize did during this special period.

Of course, this was somewhat funny to Aize.

"Is this the reason why you ignore everything and blindly follow?" Aize said sarcastically, "Not bad, quite fresh. This is the first time I've heard of handling an incident this way. Instead of using your abilities to investigate obvious anomalies, you use them to guard against your companions?"

"It seems that the Gotei 13 are even more inactive and incompetent than I thought."

Upon hearing this, Soi-Fong's face turned cold and a cold spiritual pressure emanated from her body.

"As long as you are the captain of the Gotei 13, you should know what to do."

Soi-Fong actually expressed it this way.

"Really?" Aize narrowed his eyes, suddenly smiled, and said: "But I heard that more than a hundred years ago, it seems that a captain kidnapped his friend in front of the Central 46th Room?"

"What was the captain's name?"

"He seems to be a nobleman, right?"

Aize pretended to be thinking hard, and after a while he seemed to remember something and spoke without thinking.

"I remember now, her name is Shifengyuan..."

Just when Aize was about to say the man's name, a figure appeared in front of him at lightning speed, as if teleporting.

"Oh!"

With a muffled sound, a circle of energy exploded between the two people.

The man who suddenly appeared in front of Aize struck out with a powerful palm, but was blocked by Aize with one hand, causing a muffled sound and a circle of energy.

Soi-Fong glared at Aize, her expression no longer cold and inhuman, and visible anger appeared on her slightly childish face.

“No…”

Soi Feng shouted out a sentence in a low roar.

"Don't... mention that person's name in front of me!"

At this moment, Soi-Fong felt as if her reverse scale was touched, and the spiritual pressure that had been suppressed suddenly gushed out like a dam that had been opened.

Without warning, she raised her leg and kicked Aize in the side. The kick was as sharp as a knife, causing pain in the skin before it even touched the person.

"Shh!"

Aize's figure disappeared quickly, avoiding the kick and making Soi-Fong's attack miss. But Soi-Fong also disappeared soon after, and appeared in another direction with Aize.

"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"...

The sounds of fists and feet colliding continued to ring out. Aize and Soi Feng sometimes appeared on the left, sometimes on the right, sometimes in the air, and sometimes on the ground. They engaged in fierce hand-to-hand combat with superb instant steps and terrifying speed.

The people of Xing Army finally reacted and wanted to rush forward and launch an attack on Aize, but they were shocked to find that it was difficult for them to even see their figures clearly, let alone keep up with the instant steps of the two men.

You know, they attach great importance to mobility and secret maneuvers.

Just like the 4th Division's combat effectiveness may not be strong, but the members of the 4th Division must be very good at Kaido; the 11th Division's Kidō may be very bad, but the members of the 11th Division must be outstanding. As members of the Secret Maneuver Division, they may not know Shikai, let alone Bankai, but they must be proficient in Shunpo.

As a result, they couldn't even keep up with Aze and Soi-Fong's instant steps, and couldn't even see each other's figures clearly. This was a very surprising thing.

They could understand why Soi-Fong had such a powerful flash step. After all, he was their captain and the leader of a stealthy and mobile legion, so he must have extremely strong mobility.

But it is very surprising that Captain Aze of the Third Division was able to fight back and forth with Captain Soi-Fong, and his speed and mobility were not inferior to the opponent.

However, these Xing soldiers didn’t know that Aize was not serious at all.

"Are you looking down on me?!"

Soi-Fong was fully aware of this and couldn't suppress the rage in her heart.

"When you were in the captain's meeting room, your flash step was more than just this level!"

"What about the flash step you used at that time? Why didn't you show it?"

"Show it to me!"

As she spoke, Soi-Fong's attack suddenly accelerated.

It has to be said that Soi-Fong's White Attack is extremely strong and her skills are so good that she is definitely among the top among all the opponents Aze has encountered so far.

She is also an all-round god of death. She can skillfully use all of them, whether it is Slashing Technique, White Fighting, Flash Step or Kidō. However, among the four skills of Slashing, Punch, Zou and Kidō, Soi-Fong is undoubtedly best at White Fighting and Flash Step.

Facing Soi-Fong's attack, Aize, who did not draw his sword, naturally fell into a defensive position. It was not easy for him to take all the opponent's attacks.

There is no way. Among the four skills of Zhan Quan Zou Gui, the one that Aize is least good at is undoubtedly Bai Da. Without drawing his sword, he naturally cannot be a match for the captain-level Grim Reaper who is proficient in Bai Da.

However, Aize's expression was always so relaxed and calm.

Especially after hearing what Soi-Fong said, the corners of Aize's mouth suddenly curled up.

Soi-Fong, who was in a rage, did not notice Aze's performance. She made a knife-like shape with her palm facing forward and stabbed it straight into Aze's chest.

"puff!"

The next second, Soi Feng's hand knife pierced into Aize's chest, piercing him completely.

Seeing this scene, Soi-Fong was not happy but frightened.

"not good!"

She realized something, turned around abruptly and looked behind her.

The moment he turned around, the figure that was pierced by his hand knife disappeared like an illusion.

Aize's figure appeared behind Soi Fong, and just happened to meet Soi Fong who turned around.

Soi-Fong just reached out to grab the Zanpakutō on her waist, but before she could draw the sword, a hand pressed down on her shoulder.

"------!"

At this moment, Soi Feng's expression suddenly changed.

In front of him, Aize, who had just appeared, disappeared like an illusion, and was replaced by the voice of the owner of the hand that was pressing on his shoulder.

"Show it, then what?"

This simple sentence made Soi-Fong grit her teeth and her whole body tremble.

She was restraining herself and not making any more movements.

Because she was afraid that once she drew the knife, the hand on her shoulder would suddenly attack her before she could turn around.

Although it couldn't be seen on the surface, Soi-Fong had already felt that the palm of that hand was brewing a spiritual power that was about to erupt.

Feeling the enormous spiritual power, Soi-Fong had every reason to believe that as long as she took action, a broken path of at least level 80 would be activated in the next instant, blowing off her shoulders, arms and even half of her body at close range.

"Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!" "Swish!"...

At this time, those Xing troops who had not been able to keep up before finally caught up. One by one, they took instant steps and appeared around Aize and Soi Feng, surrounding the two of them again.

"stop!"

Seeing that these Xing troops were about to rush up and attack Aize directly, Shattered Bee immediately spoke out to stop them.

"A wise move." Aize's voice came from behind Shattered Bee, as if praising her: "If you rush up at this time, not only will you anger me, but you will also be implicated. There is no benefit at all."

"...What on earth are you going to do?" Soi-Fong did not turn around, nor did she dare to turn around. She gritted her teeth and said, "Do you really want to rebel against the Central 46 and challenge the authority of Soul Society?"

"Who knows?" Aize pressed Soi-Fong's shoulder, smiled faintly, and said, "Anyway, I will definitely not be like you and blindly follow others."

Having said that, Aize withdrew his hand and turned his back.

"Instead of getting entangled with me here, you might as well go find those troublemakers." Aize said to Shattered Bee, "Let me tell you a piece of news."

"There is a black cat in this travel disaster."

"That black cat is most likely the person you've been looking for."

Hearing this, Soi-Fong opened her eyes wide.

"What did you say..."

Soi Feng turned around and was about to ask a question, but found that Aize had disappeared.

Soi Fong could only stand there blankly, her eyes uncertain.

After a while, the Broken Bee retreated.

At the same time, a figure frantically looking for Li Huo appeared in the Soul Society.
