Chapter 507 The Situation

The team leaders gathered together, discussing their opinions and strategies.

Some advocate taking the initiative to find the enemy's weaknesses and deliver a fatal blow;

Some argued that defenses should be strengthened first to solidify the Seireitei's defensive lines, and then plans should be made when the time was right.

For a time, arguments rose and fell in the conference room, but no consensus was reached.

Meanwhile, the situation in Rukongai remained extremely critical. The wizards, led by the Seraphim, destroyed everything in Rukongai, and everything was absorbed.

As the situation in Rukongai worsened, more and more refugees flocked to Seireitei like a tidal wave, their eyes filled with fear and despair, hoping to find some refuge in this relatively safe place.

However, the nobles, who were high and mighty, did not take these refugees seriously at all. In their eyes, these refugees were nothing more than a group of "lowly people" who had no right to set foot in the territory of Seireitei.

Therefore, the Fifth Division, Sixth Division, and Tenth Division were ordered to dispatch Shinigami to suppress these rogue souls attempting to enter the Seireitei.

The Shinigami, dressed in black Shinigami uniforms and wielding Zanpakuto, appeared majestically before the refugees.

The difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Those unarmed rogue souls had no power to resist and could only watch helplessly as they were firmly blocked outside the Seireitei.

Their cries and pleas echoed in the air, but they could not move the hearts of those indifferent death gods and nobles.

Inside the Central 46, Gin Ichimaru wore a faint smile, his tone tinged with amusement: "Oh dear, oh dear, things seem to be getting out of your control, Captain Aizen~"

Aizen adjusted his glasses, his gentle smile still on his face, and said unhurriedly, "Isn't this more interesting?"

Gin Ichimaru tilted his head slightly and continued, "How ruthless. Captain Tosen sacrificed himself."

A fleeting, almost imperceptible coldness flashed in Aizen's eyes as he replied in a flat tone, "That just shows he's nothing special."

At this time, the Central 46 Chambers had been taken over by Aizen and Gin Ichimaru.

All the elders had been brutally murdered by them, and their blood, not yet completely dry, left horrifying marks on the ground.

During this period, all orders issued to the outside world were made by Aizen alone. He was like a hidden manipulator, controlling the situation in the entire Soul Society.

The next day, the latest order from the Central 46 was delivered: "The execution of Rukia Kuchiki will be moved up to three days later. The Gotei 13 are to deal with this Ryoka with all their might and ensure their complete annihilation."

Once the order was issued, no one raised the slightest question.

Because everyone knew that these sudden traveler disasters had indeed seriously threatened the rule of the Seireitei, in this critical moment, it seemed that they could only act according to this command.

Somewhere in Rukongai, there stands a very peculiar building.

Its style is unlike any other dwelling.

Instead of the usual stone lions that project majesty at the entrance of this building, there are two enormous arms meticulously carved from hard rock.

His arm muscles were clearly defined, with bulging veins, and he was steadily holding a banner high.

The banner read, "The Number One Fireworks Master of Rukongai."

The large characters were particularly eye-catching, swaying gently in the breeze.

This is Shiba Kukaku's home.

The Shiba family was once one of the five most prestigious noble families in Soul Society, but as time has passed, they have gradually declined.

Despite the decline of his family's glory, Shiba Kukaku still managed to carve out his own niche in Rukongai with his superb pyrotechnic skills.

In terms of family relationships, she can be considered Kurosaki Ichigo's cousin whom he has never met.

Yoruichi, along with Ichigo Kurosaki, Uryu Ishida, and others, quietly arrived at Kukaku Shiba's door.

Yoruichi gently knocked on the door knocker, making a crisp sound.

A moment later, the door creaked open, and Shiba Kukaku's languid yet slightly wary figure appeared before everyone.

She was dressed in loose clothes, a cigarette dangling from her mouth. She exhaled a large smoke ring and said with a helpless expression, "Lord Yoruichi, you really know how to cause me trouble."

Yoruichi smiled slightly, but her eyes held a hint of seriousness: "Kukaku, the situation is urgent this time. We need your help to send us into Soul Society."

Shiba Kukaku frowned slightly, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes: "The Seireitei has entered a state of high alert..."

As she spoke, her expression turned serious, and she slowly explained to everyone what had recently happened.

"You may not know this, but recently a group of mysterious travelers has arrived, and their strength is beyond imagination."

Shiba Kukaku's voice was low and tinged with worry, "Two captains were killed in the battle against them."

Upon hearing this news, Ichigo Kurosaki and the others' expressions instantly turned serious.

Yoruichi's mind raced, and the first image that came to mind was Aizen Sousuke, who always had a gentle smile but a deep mind. She wondered if all of this was related to his conspiracy.

Then Wes's image appeared in her mind.

Could it be him who did this?

Yoruichi looked at Shiba Kukaku with unwavering eyes: "Kukaku, we must enter Soul Society."

The latest novel is first published here!

Looking at Yoruichi's determined gaze, and then at Ichigo Kurosaki and the others, Shiba Kukaku sighed inwardly.

She knew that since Yoruichi had spoken up, things must have reached a point where there was no time to lose.

She nodded slightly: "Alright, since Yoruichi has said so, I can't just stand by and do nothing. However, let me make this clear beforehand: this operation won't be easy, and you all need to be fully prepared."

Upon hearing this, a sense of hope arose in everyone's hearts, and they all nodded in agreement.

On the other side, the wizard legion, led by the seraphim, advanced step by step towards the Soul Society like a black, evil torrent.

Their rampage left nothing but barren land in their wake.

The once vibrant fields instantly became barren, the soil cracked, and the crops withered.

The beautiful village was engulfed in flames; houses collapsed, thick smoke billowed, and the cries of the villagers echoed in the air, but no one could save them.

The Seireitei felt an unprecedented crisis, and in order to deal with this powerful enemy, they quickly sent out wave after wave of spies to gather intelligence.

After a lot of hard work, they finally learned some of the details.

At least they learned what the ten seraphim looked like.

"That's the guy!"

Soi Fon's eyes blazed with fury as she stared intently at the photo of Seraph Kaido in her hand, as if she wanted to burn it with her gaze.

Her hand gripped the paper tightly, and it was quickly crumpled into a ball in her palm.

She clenched her teeth and squeezed out those words.

Kyoraku Shunsui pinched his chin, his eyes slightly narrowed as he pondered.

"According to the scouts, these 10 people are not subordinate to each other and are of equal rank."

He spoke, his voice neither hurried nor slow, yet it stirred up waves in everyone's hearts.

"In other words," Jushiro Ukitake continued, his previously gentle face now filled with seriousness, "their strength is similar."

The moment those words were spoken, the conference room fell into a deathly silence; the air seemed to freeze.

"Haha, this is so interesting."

A burst of wild laughter broke the silence.
