Chapter 283: This is not the way to enter

The Soul King Palace is much more spacious than imagined.

In the comics, there is no in-depth description of this type of scene.

However, only by witnessing it with one's own eyes can one know its grandeur and magnificence... Arima Shizuka also stayed in the air, looking at this most symbolic building in the three realms.

It was not until a few breaths later that he came back to his senses.

Wang Yue, the second roommate beside him, just looked at him with a smile, and didn't seem to urge him.

"Sorry... I was accidentally engrossed."

"It's okay. There's plenty of time. You can watch it for a while longer if you want. But..."

Better hurry up.

After all, there was a person waiting at the entrance of the Spirit King Palace for a long time.

He was an adult man of unusually tall stature.

Bald head, big eyes.

He has very thick eyebrows, a beard that reaches his chest, and a broad nose. He is wearing a familiar pure white haori and has his hands folded in front of his chest.

Just standing there, he looked as thick and solid as a city wall.

However, image is only the most secondary thing. The most important thing is the feeling that the other party gives to Arima Shizuya.

——Very strong.

Unlike the four generals whom he had just met not long ago, after seeing the Monk with his own eyes, Arima Jing could also clearly feel the threat he perceived from the other party.

Perhaps the aftereffects of her Zanpakuto were still lingering in her heart, so Arima Shizuka could only feel that others were 'difficult' or 'tricky'.

He could clearly feel the danger from this man.

There is also a gap in strength between the members of Team Zero.

Arima Jing also fell down, and Wang Yue from Ermeiya stood behind him, watching the other party slowly move forward.

Until he stood in front of the monk.

Hey.

The big monk with bright red eyes opened his lips and revealed an extremely generous smile.

"You're finally here, Arima Shizuya!"

His cheerful and high-spirited tone was as refreshing as if he had met an old friend after a long absence.

It’s a pity that Arima Jing is not as happy as the other party.

"This is probably the first time we meet, right? Hyoshubu Ichibei."

Call him by his first name.

But it did not cause the other party any displeasure.

The guy, who was of broad build and seemed to be in a cheerful mood, grinned widely and just laughed.

"That's really the case! Ahahaha, I've become a little confused. I even forgot these things. I'm so careless!"

He raised his hand and patted his forehead. His voice was as crisp and loud as ever.

"My name is Hyoshubu Ichibei! As you can see, I am the leader of the Royal Secret Service Squad Zero. I am currently in charge of all affairs of the Spirit King Palace. If you have any questions, just ask me!"

of course.

"Whether you want to explain it clearly or not, that depends on my mood, hahahaha!"

This guy has a slightly weird personality.

But I can’t tell where this sense of disharmony comes from…

Arima Shizuka also glanced at the other person. Although she was not distracted by the infectious voice, she thought for a moment.

Then he looked up and spoke softly.

"Were you the one who tampered with my Zanpakutō before?"

Hyoshubu Ichibei nodded readily.

"That's right!"

It wasn't something that needed to be hidden.

Now that you've spoken, just be honest!

"I think your ability is quite tricky and may cause some unnecessary changes, so I took the initiative to ban your ability."

——Although I had been mentally prepared before, after hearing it now, I still felt a little unhappy.

This characteristic is embodied in Aizen Sosuke.

His expression did not change, but Aizen Sosuke was inherently wary of this monk who came from an unknown origin and was talking nonsense.

"Then why do you want to lift the blockade on Shizuya-kun?"

"Of course it is the will of the Spirit King."

Speaking out is also a strategy.

It can be seen that both people present felt somewhat uncomfortable with Hyoshubu Ichibei's direct words.

Arima Shizuya even repeated the other party's words.

"The Spirit King's will?"

"Yes, and this is why we chose to have you meet here."

Hyoshubu Ichibei's smile faded, and with his height which was more than a head taller than Arima Shizuya, he looked down at the other person condescendingly.

The tone was so flat that it didn't contain any emotion at all.

"To be honest, after learning that you had indeed defected from Soul Society, we immediately contacted the Gotei 13."

"We certainly played a part in rebuilding the Seireitei, but you who are active in Hueco Mundo certainly don't know about it."

"According to the original plan, we wanted to join forces to kill you and eliminate future troubles."

Faced with such frank words, Arima Shizuka pondered for a moment, with a slightly complicated expression on her face.

To be honest.

This situation is both unexpected and reasonable.

After all, his Zanpakutō had been targeted by the monk, and he had also completely dismantled the Soul Society... If Squad Zero were to remain unmoved, there must be something wrong.

And this is the crux of the problem at the moment.

The sudden change of mind of the Zero Squad also caused the fake Karakura Town Battle to go completely 'out of control'.

"Did the Spirit King make you change your mind?"

"exactly."

Hyoshubu Ichibeihan turned his head and looked towards the wide corridor behind him.

"As the guardian of Lord Spirit King, I have not been able to listen to the orders given by Lord Spirit King himself for a long time...but Lord Spirit King did this for you."

"Arima Shizuya, the power contained in you is indeed extraordinary." "Given time, you will surely be able to stir up the three realms with your own power."

However, it is not at this moment.

"Come on, follow me to the Spirit King's presence, see it with your own eyes, and hear its voice."

"Wait a moment... just ask for now."

Arima Shizuka also stared at the monk's bright red pupils and spoke word by word.

"If I say I don't want to see you...what will happen?"

"Ahahaha, that's a bit troubling. After all, Lord Spiritual King has finally given me an order. If I can't act according to it, I will feel ashamed."

Therefore.

"Please don't let me fall into such a disloyal and unjust situation."

After bowing deeply to Arima Shizuya, Hyoshubu Ichibei stood up, a smile reappearing on his face.

"Then please come with me."

The Hyoshubu Ichibei turned around quickly and strode away. He showed no hesitation at all, and seemed to not care whether the person behind him would suddenly attack him...

This calmness made Arima Shizuya's expression change slightly.

He did not respond immediately, but instead looked behind him.

Aizen Sosuke stood outside the platform, shoulder to shoulder with the four divine generals, and at this moment he just smiled and nodded.

Now that this is the case, there is no point in saying more.

"Be careful, Shizuya-kun."

"I'll be back soon, Mr. Aizen."

The two of them moved forward one after the other, and soon disappeared in front of the Spirit King's Palace.

Only Aizen and the Four Generals were left standing there, quietly waiting for the outcome of the Soul King Palace.

The atmosphere was a little stiff.

At this moment, Aizen Sosuke looked around, with a hint of teasing in his tone.

"What's wrong? You're surrounding me like this. Do you want to start a fight right here?"

Kirinji Tianshilang sneered disdainfully.

"I don't want to launch a sneak attack on a guy like you."

Although Hikifune Kiryu maintained a smiling expression, his tone was not kind either.

"You bullied Hiyori pretty badly."

Shutra Senjumaru maintained his indifferent attitude, as if he was disdainful of having anything to do with Aizen.

"Although you are researchers, everything you do is of inferior quality."

Wang Yue, the last performer of Ermeiwu, made a rap-like gesture and spoke as if jokingly.

"I don't want to communicate too much with a guy like you who doesn't want to look directly into your own heart~"

The four people picked on and complained about him one by one.

Aizen Sosuke was not moved at all. He just chuckled, turned his head and spoke in a calm tone.

"I see. It seems that the so-called Four Direction Divine Generals are nothing more than heretics who are obsessed with trivial matters."

"I put a lot of thought into this and rehearsed several times for the confrontation with you guys."

"Now it seems that maybe I was just worrying too much."

Facing an opponent with such a character, why bother?
It can only be said that when it comes to talking nonsense and manipulating people's mentality, the prison master's ability is indeed extremely strong.

This is what made the four generals feel a little unhappy.

Kirinji Tenshiro, who had a bad temper, frowned and took two steps forward to stand in front of Aizen.

The appearance of the airplane head does look quite ferocious.

"You mean, even if the opponent is us, you don't need to use your full strength?!"

Aizen's smile didn't diminish at all.

"Maybe if four of us come together, we'll feel a little pressure."

Four breaks in one second.

There were obvious blue veins bulging on Qilin Temple Tianshilang's head, and he was ready to take action with gritted teeth.

"Stop, Qilin Temple."

Wang Yue from Ermeiwu placed one hand on the other's shoulder, and gently adjusted his glasses with the other hand, and said in a calm tone.

"This is in front of the Spirit King. If you act without permission, you will be held accountable."

"But what this guy said is too..."

"Just wait a moment."

Wang Yue from Ermeiwu repeated.

"Just wait a little longer, and it will be fine."

Wait until the matter in the Spirit King Palace is over.

After everything has settled, it will not be too late to make a choice.

On the other side, after leading Arima Shizuka into the Soul King Palace, the light around them began to gradually fade.

Instead……

The stone road under your feet begins to sparkle.

"Arima Shizuya, please step inside before you meet the Spirit King."

A soldier from the Hyoshubu unit stepped aside and made enough space for someone to pass through.

And in front of him.

It is a long and slender path.

The roads on both sides are covered with pebbles, grass and trees.

I don't know when a drizzle of rain fell from the sky, soaking my clothes.

The road became muddy and the outlook became murky.

The breeze on both sides began to sway, and the shimenawa knots, a symbol of holiness, stood on the left and right, swaying in the wind, symmetrical and solemn.

Arima Jing was also slightly stunned and couldn't help but speak.

"This is……"

Before I could finish my words, the other party had already replied.

“This is not the way to participate.”
