Both start in hell: but their talents are multiplied a hundredfold.

Shen Jue grabbed the wrists of the two women on either side, pulling them a few steps away from the center of the battlefield. The three of them rose into the sky together, where a dense layer of spiritual particles and the Binding Path isolated them from the senses of all the Hollows and Shinigami.

Yoruichi and Halibel frowned simultaneously.

"What are you doing?"

"king?"

"Brother Shen Jue?"

Shen Jue lowered his voice and looked helplessly at Yoruichi.

"Let's get away from these guys for now."

After saying that, Shen Jue sighed softly and released the two women's wrists.

"Hriber, you know me."

"I don't have any grand ambitions; I just enjoy a comfortable life."

"Therefore, I do not have what you think, such as ambitions to unify the three realms."

"I prefer the land of gentle pleasures to unifying the three realms."

The saying goes: "He loves beauty more than the throne."

"Therefore," Shen Jue said solemnly, "all my actions so far have been for a reason."

"These measures, including concealing one's identity, are all in preparation for dealing with a greater threat."

Yoruichi looked at Shen Jue suspiciously, feeling that Shen Jue's words were half true and half false.

Halibel, on the other hand, acted obediently at this moment.

This made Yoruichi grit her teeth, wanting to chew Halibel to pieces on the spot.

"Yoruichi, you are my strongest support."

"He is also one of the people I trust most."

Yoruichi's clenched teeth loosened slightly.

Shen Jue then looked at Helibel with a gentle smile.

"Hribel".

"You are loyal to me."

"I value you just as much."

"Both of you are my wings."

He paused, his gaze lingering on each of their faces, and his voice softened.

"I know you must think I've kept this a secret for too long. But Yoruichi and Halibel, you are both very important to me. Precisely because you are important, I cannot drag you into danger."

Yoruichi's brow remained furrowed: "So, why exactly did you keep this a secret until now?"

Helibel didn't say anything, but just obediently watched him quietly.

Shen Jue's gaze darkened.

"Because there is still a great enemy hidden in the Three Realms."

"It was lurking in the shadows, waiting for me to make a mistake."

"If I reveal my identity too early, I won't be the only one who gets dragged into this."

Shen Jue raised his eyes, his tone calm and firm.

"Now that I've saved enough, it's time to take the initiative."

Yoruichi fell silent.

Heribel stared wide-eyed at Shen Jue.

She found it hard to imagine that there were any souls or beings in Hueco Mundo, the Human World, or Soul Society that could threaten Shen Jue.

Then Haribel moved.

She stepped forward, stretched out her arm, and pulled Shen Jue directly into her embrace.

Shen Jue's face was pressed against her large chest, and his voice was so muffled that it was almost inaudible.

"Hribel!"

She looked down at him, a hint of smugness flashing in her emerald green eyes.

"king."

"You made me search for so long."

"This is punishment."

She held Shen Jue in her arms, but her gaze went past the top of his head and went straight to Ye Yi.

The provocative intent was undisguised.

Yoruichi clenched her fists.

She stared intently at the hand that Helibel was holding Shen Jue with, her teeth clenched so tightly they itched.

"Feed".

"You utterly ignorant fool!"

"Release your king!"

Harribel tilted her head and said provocatively.

"I won't let go."

"The king is mine."

Yoruichi's temple throbbed.

She has known Shen Jue for many years.

It has been like that since the time of the Central Spiritual Arts Academy in Soul Society.

Yoruichi admired Shen Jue's talent and believed that a soul like Shen Jue would surely achieve great things in the future.

During that time, she was always pestering Shen Jue, but Shen Jue, who was usually very fond of women, kept his distance from her and dared not make a move.

Yoruichi didn't quite understand Shen Jue's thoughts at that time. If Shen Jue had asked for her company back then...

Yoruichi thought it wasn't impossible.

After graduation, Shen Jue quickly became the vice-captain of the 10th Division, and she also joined the 2nd Division and rose through the ranks rapidly.

They had drunk together, gone on missions together, and even shared a boisterous drinking session on the rooftop of Seireitei.

Her feelings for Shen Jue could never be explained in just a few words.

Friendship?

Of course there are.

But there are other things besides that.

That feeling slowly settled over a long period of time, becoming deeper and deeper, so deep that she herself was unwilling to admit it.

Later, when the Hollowfication incident occurred, Yoruichi resolutely abandoned her position as captain of the Second Division in order to save her former friends and rescue Kisuke Urahara and others.

Yoruichi could never forget the emotionless look in Shen Jue's eyes when he let them go that night.

Yoruichi was heartbroken by this, but Shen Jue ultimately let them leave.

She had wondered why Shen Jue had given her that look.

Yoruichi finally concluded that Shen Jue was also under tremendous pressure at the time.

As a newly appointed vice-captain with no background or connections, if Shen Jue makes a serious mistake, his fate will not be much better than those Hollowfied Shinigami who are captured.

But Shen Jue, who could have stopped them, only symbolically blocked their way before letting them leave.

This is why Yoruichi still regards Shen Jue as her brother Shen Jue.

Now, Yoruichi's Shen Jue is being held in the arms of another woman.

That woman wasn't even human or death, but a soul!

It was a Hollow with bestial characteristics!

Yoruichi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the anger in her heart.

"Hey! You damn cow!"

"Have you hugged me enough?!"

Heribel looked down at Shen Jue and answered slowly.

"no."

Shen Jue struggled to raise one hand in her arms.

The facial cleanser was certainly very comfortable, but Yoruichi's gaze made Shen Jie feel as if she were being pricked by needles in her back.

"that......"

"I can't breathe."

Yoruichi gritted her teeth and glared angrily at Shen Jue.

Shen Jue's spiritual pressure could easily seal Kenpachi Zaraki and that unknown Hollow, but he couldn't even break free from this woman's arms.

Are you kidding me?

Was Shen Jue doing this on purpose?

He looks like he's really enjoying it!

Taking advantage of the moment when Halibel looked down at Shen Jue, Yoruichi pulled Shen Jue out of her arms.

Shen Jue staggered two steps, then took a deep breath after regaining her balance.

"Thanks, Yoruichi."

Yoruichi ignored Shen Jue's smug expression, grabbed his arm with one hand, and looked coldly at Harribel.

"Shen Jue is the captain of the Thirteenth Guard Squad."

"You need to maintain a proper distance."

Harribel gave a cold laugh.

"Lord Shen Jue is the king of my Hueco Mundo."

"It's none of your business, Death, to interfere."

The two dark-skinned beauties met eyes again.

In the air, spiritual pressure collided silently.

Shen Jue was caught in the middle, remained silent for a moment, and then spoke softly.

"Um...can I say something?"

They both turned to look at him at the same time.

Shen Jue cleared his throat, regaining some of his usual carefree demeanor.

"I know you all care about me."

"But you all know what kind of person I am..."

"I have a few hobbies."

Yoruichi rolled her eyes.

"Shen Jue-ge, are you talking about going to brothels?"

Shen Jue gave a dry laugh.

"Uh, yes, yes."

Heribel frowned slightly, but did not refute.

In the eyes of the head of the Shihōin family, drinking with women was indeed a trivial matter.

Every head of the Shihōin family throughout history has had some romantic escapades.

Compared to the fact that he had kept it from me for so long, drinking and carousing was nothing.

Yoruichi released Shen Jue's arm, crossed her arms, and spoke with a tone of disgust.

"It's just that little thing about Brother Shen Jue."

"Everyone in the entire Soul Society knows it."

"Brother Shen Jue thought you went out drinking back then, who kept it a secret from old man Yamamoto for you?"

Shen Jue blinked; how could he not know what Ye Yi had covered up for him?

"So it was you?"

Yoruichi turned her face away.

"Otherwise what?"

"Even Toshiro could see through Shen Jue's carefree way of doing things."

Below, Toshiro Hitsugaya suddenly sneezed.

Harribel watched the interaction between the two, a hint of displeasure flashing in her emerald green eyes.

She reached out again, but this time she didn't hug him; she just took Shen Jue's other hand.

"king."

"Please come back to Hueco Mundo with me."

Yoruichi immediately grabbed Shen Jue's other hand.

"Brother Shen Jue isn't going anywhere!"

Shen Jue's hands were being held, leaving him unable to move.

"that......"

"I really need to pack away my clothes."

"It really looks like it might rain."

Kurosaki Ichigo stood below, squinting as he watched Shen Jue being held by two women, one on each side.

He turned to look at Shiba Isshin.

"Dad, has Professor Shen Jue always been so popular with women?"

Shiba scratched his head and chuckled dryly.

"Well......"

"Your teacher, Shen Jue, has always been quite popular."

"Of course, it's in the izakaya in the geisha district," Shiba Isshin added to himself.

Nelielu chuckled to herself as she held the ultra-high-resolution spirit camera to her chest.

"The king is being fought over and over again, it's quite a spectacle!"

Stark sighed and tucked the gun back into his waistband.

"This kind of scene."

"It's quite interesting."

Under the moonlight, the night sky over Karakura Town finally quieted down.

Above the center of the battlefield, Shen Jue was being pulled by two dark-skinned beauties, one on his left and one on his right.

Behind him, Death and the Arrancar continued to watch the show.

No one made a move.

Because everyone is waiting to see how Shen Jue will handle this situation.

Even the two people sealed within the pillar of spiritual pressure were trying to look in Shen Jue's direction.

Shen Jue released her hands from the two people's grasp.

He straightened his twisted haori and looked around at everyone present.

He removed the spiritual pressure that blocked his senses.

The God of Death, the Arrancar Daxon, the Masked Legion, Urahara Kisuke and the others.

Under the moonlight, the three forces were unusually quiet, all waiting for him to speak.

"Everyone."

"I've had enough of the excitement."

"It's time to get to today's topic."

He paused, his gaze sweeping from Halibel to Yoruichi, from Ichigo Kurosaki to Kisuke Urahara, and finally settling on Kenpachi Zaraki and Grimmjow.

"Please come back to Soul Society with me."

"Jing Ling Ting."

These words caused an uproar in the room.

Toshiro Hitsugaya was the first to frown.

"Captain Shen Jue, what do you mean?"

"Hollowfied Shinigami and Hollows entering the Seireitei? That's impossible!"

Beneath Barragán's skull mask, black flames surged.

"I disdain to set foot in the territory of death."

Shen Jue raised one hand, palm facing up.

As spiritual pressure converged, a strange mark appeared in the air.

That is the Quincy Cross.

But the pattern of that cross was far more complex than the Quincy patterns of today.

Kisuke Urahara's pupils suddenly contracted.

"That is..."

Shen Jue withdrew his spiritual pressure, and the mark dissipated.

"The progenitor of the Quincy."

"Yohabach".

"I investigated his progress and finally made a breakthrough."

The entire room fell silent.

"What did you say?"

Shen Jue turned around and faced the direction of Soul Society.

"This matter concerns Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the Human World."

"Everyone in the Three Realms."

"Therefore, I need you all to come."

He tilted his head slightly, a familiar smile curving his lips.

"Of course, you don't have to come."

"But you will have to bear the consequences."

Yoruichi crossed her arms and stared at his profile.

"Shen Jue is playing the riddle-maker again."

Shen Jue chuckled.

Do I have one?

Heribel frowned.

"Your Majesty, can't you just say it all at once?"

Shen Jue shrugged.

"It's no fun if you say it all at once."

Hirako Shinji couldn't help but press down on his Zanpakuto, his mask still hanging on his face.

"So, Shen Jue, you summoned us to the Soul Society without telling us what we're supposed to do?"

Shen Jue nodded.

"right."

Shinji Hirako's lips twitched.

"You..."

"Just as full of wicked humor as before."

Kuchiki Byakuya remained expressionless, but his fingers tightened slightly.

"Captain Shen Jue."

"I hope you have a good reason."

Shen Jue looked at him, her smile unchanged.

"Byakuya."

"What I'm about to tell you is a major event that threatens the entire Three Realms."

"You don't want anything to happen to Rukia and her sister, do you?"

Kuchiki Byakuya remained silent.

After a moment, he spoke coldly.

"I will try to go back to Soul Society with you."

"But I require that all Hollowfied Soul Reapers be under close surveillance."

Shen Jue coughed lightly.

"Uh, that makes a lot of sense."

"I'll keep an eye on them."

Kuchiki Byakuya's lips twitched. What's the difference between this and letting the heroes supervise the heroes?

Kurosaki Ichigo stepped forward and stood beside Shen Jue.

He looked at Shiba Isshin.

"Dad, are you going?"

"I feel helpless," Shiba said.

"The Shiba family was originally a member of Soul Society."

"Going back won't hurt."

He looked at Shen Jue with a complicated expression in his eyes.

"Besides, I'd also like to know what exactly you're investigating."

Kisuke Urahara pulled down the brim of his hat and looked at Yoruichi.

"Yoruichi, what do you think?"

Yoruichi glanced at Kisuke Urahara.

Then she said, "I'll look at it upright, not upside down."

"go."

"I want to see what Brother Shen Jue is up to."

The numerous Arrancar and Hollowfied individuals had no objections.

Under Kisuke Urahara's quiet persuasion, the Hollowfied Shinigami also chose to follow Shen Jue into the Soul Society.

Shen Jue smiled slightly and, without using any equipment, opened the passage to the Soul Society with a wave of his hand.

The group, in a grand procession, headed towards the passage leading to the Soul Society.

Under the moonlight, the night sky over Karakura Town finally fell completely silent.

Seireitei is about to welcome visitors unlike anything they've ever seen before.

Shen Jue walked at the very front, her haori fluttering in the wind.

He turned his head slightly to look at the long procession behind him.

A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Yohabach".

Are you ready?
