"I look forward to your continued support, Muzuki," Rukia said with a smile. But to others, her demeanor seemed a little shy.

How could I be shy?!

Even Ichigo Kurosaki noticed this unusual attitude. He glanced at his younger brother, then at Rukia, instinctively sensing something was wrong. Could it be...? No way? This is acceptable?!

"What are you daydreaming about, Ichigo!" Just then, Rukia grabbed his collar. "Come with me for a second, I have something to discuss with you." Ignoring the bewildered expressions of the students, she led him out of the classroom.

"Thank you for your help, Rukia." Just as he brushed past Mugetsu, the boy suddenly spoke.

Rukia paused for a moment, then said, "It's what I should do."

That's right, she already knew about Ichigo Kurosaki's situation. Now that she knew, as his guide, she naturally had to help him find a new direction.

"Now, everyone," Wuyue turned her gaze to the others, a smile playing on her lips. "Let's find a place and have a proper discussion. Regarding the characteristics of the Arrancar and our operational strategy..."

……

……

The virtual circle, the virtual night palace.

Aizen sat high on his throne, and below him, dozens of Arrancar, already completed, stood on either side, each with a different expression as they gazed at Ulquiorra and Yammy in the center of the arena.

Or more precisely, their gazes were all fixed on Yammy. This man, whom they considered the Tenth Espada, looked utterly disheveled.

No, this can't be described as just "miserable." If other Arrancars had to use a precise word to describe it, it would be "utterly miserable!"

His limbs were severed at the root, and he was covered in blood, which goes without saying. Most importantly, a thick, hairy thigh was still inserted into his genitals, making it look like some kind of cruel performance art! This is terrifying, enough to make your anus tighten!

"That must hurt so much..." A gloved, disheveled middle-aged man twitched his lips and exclaimed unconsciously.

"Who did this?"

"It seems we've encountered a formidable enemy."

"To be able to beat a Espada like this is enough to make one wary."

The decadent uncle's speech also stirred up everyone present, and they started discussing it animatedly.

"Well." At this moment, Aizen finally spoke. Hearing their leader speak, the Arrancar underlings collectively fell silent, plunging into silence once more. "Come here, Ulquiorra. Show us everything you've seen and felt in the human world."

"Yes, Lord Aizen." Ulquiorra nodded respectfully, then reached out and gouged out his own eyeball. He immediately crushed it.

puff.

A clear sound.

The moment the eyeball shattered, it transformed into particles, each carrying an image that entered the minds of everyone present.

This image records everything that happened to Ulquiorra and Yammy in the human world. From their arrival in the human world, absorbing souls, meeting Chad and Orihime, to Ichigo Kurosaki and Mugetsu, everything is shown in great detail.

hiss.

When they saw Yammy being cruelly tortured by someone, with his entire thigh being shoved into his body from an indescribable place, everyone couldn't help but gasp.

Ruthless! Absolutely ruthless! This method is dozens of times more vicious than when they were Hollows! At the same time, they also sensed the strength of this young man. Facing two Arrancar alone, he was able to easily repel them, and even effortlessly sever Yammy's limbs. This was completely beyond their expectations.

"I see, two months?" Aizen seemed oblivious to Mugetsu's violence against his subordinates, focusing only on his last sentence. "Interesting."

"Hmph! Is that guy really that strong?" Just then, a flippant voice suddenly rang out. "As I see it, you're scared out of your wits, Ulquiorra!"

“Grimmjow?” Ulquiorra turned his head to look at the person who had spoken.

He was a man with short blue hair and sharp, bony fangs remaining at the corner of his mouth. He exuded a ruthless aura that was hard to look at directly, and said with disdain, "If it were me, I could easily beat that guy to a pulp!"

“That’s an opponent even Lord Aizen has to be wary of. You can’t do that,” Ulquiorra said calmly.

"Huh? You don't believe in my strength?" Grimmjow arrogantly raised his head and said, "I'm not as cowardly as you. That brat, I only need one hit..."

"Damn it! This guy is too presumptuous!" Just as the two were arguing, Sunsun, who was a subordinate official, was furious.

Lady Mugetsu is someone they, along with Lady Harribel, admire. This despicable fellow dares to slander him like that!

"Calm down," Halibel patted her gently and whispered, "Now is not the time. Besides, this guy probably won't be alive for long."

Chapter 580: The Coming Fierce Battle

"So, those guys were created by Aizen?!" In the present world, at the Kurosaki family residence, Ichigo Kurosaki, who had already recovered, looked completely bewildered and stammered, "They... are Hollows transformed into Shinigami?"

"What? You haven't told him yet?" Toshiro looked at Mugetsu and said, "You already know, don't you?"

“Actually, I said this a long time ago, but he didn’t take it seriously.” Wuyue shrugged helplessly and said, “Besides, you’ve seen Arrancar a long time ago as well.”

"What?!" This time, not only Kurosaki Ichigo, but also the other Shinigami showed expressions of shock and astonishment.

"Hey. Don't you think these Arrancars look a lot like people you've met before? Like the people around me." Mugetsu stared intently at Kurosaki Ichigo. "Think back carefully. The masks, the Zanpakuto, and the murky, heavy spiritual pressure."

Ichigo Kurosaki was taken aback at first. Then, a vibrant green figure flashed into his mind. "You, you mean... Nel-sensei?!"

"Hmm." Wuyue nodded and clapped his hands, saying, "Let me formally introduce you. The 30th Espada of Hueco Mundo, Nelielu du Odeschvank." As his applause rang out, Nelielu's figure appeared from the windowsill.

At this moment, she was no longer in her casual clothes. Instead, she was wearing the same white uniform as the Espada that Ichigo had seen, with the antelope mask on her forehead standing out prominently.

"This spiritual pressure... it really is an Arrancar!" Toshiro raised an eyebrow, looking at Mugetsu with a complicated expression. "Why do you have dealings with Arrancars?"

"Hmm, it's a bit of a personal matter." Wuyue shrugged, not giving a serious answer. "But don't worry, Nel is mine. She doesn't belong to Hueco Mundo, and she certainly doesn't belong to Aizen." As he spoke, he beckoned Nel to sit down. The latter smiled obligingly and sat down next to Wuyue.

"The 30th Espada? Wow, that's incredible."

"So strong! Just standing next to her gives me a sense of pressure on my soul! Are all the Espada like this?"

"As expected of Mugetsu. A boy who even the Captain-Commander admires."

Renji, Ikkaku, and the other Shinigami exclaimed in surprise, while staring at Nel with curious eyes.

"No, that's not right!" At that moment, Ichigo Kurosaki shouted, "This is completely illogical! Aizen only recently obtained the Hogyoku and started creating Arrancars, right? But Nel-sensei appeared ten years ago!"

What?! Ten years ago?!

At this, the Grim Reapers immediately showed expressions of shock, confusion, and disbelief.

"Hmm. That's true." Wuyue nodded and smiled. "That's exactly why I sent Nel here. To prove that your assessment of Aizen was completely wrong. In your eyes, Aizen went to great lengths to obtain the Hogyoku, intending to create an army of Arrancars to destroy Soul Society, right?"

Toshiro and the other Shinigami were taken aback at first, then nodded. Indeed. Because they hadn't truly grasped Aizen's intentions, most of the Soul Society believed this.

"Actually, that's not the case." Wuyue smiled and said, "Through the information provided by Nel, I discovered that... Aizen's goal is not to destroy Soul Society, or rather... it's not as simple as just destroying Soul Society."

"What do you mean?" Toshiro asked, puzzled.

"There are royal families in Soul Society, right?" Mugetsu smiled and said, "The one who rules over everything in Soul Society, the Soul King, is Aizen's target."

"What?!" Everyone present was stunned.

"The residence of the royal family of Soul Society is in the Spirit King Palace." Wuyue ignored the surprised expressions of the people and said to herself, "I think everyone here knows this very well. But none of you know how to get to the Spirit King Palace."

Indeed. Most of the Shinigami in Soul Society have heard of the Soul King's Palace. But they don't know its exact location, let alone how to get there.

“Aizen once had access to the Central 46, and he went to the Great Spirit Book Library.” Mugetsu didn’t keep them in suspense and said bluntly, “Therefore, he already knows how to get to the Spirit King’s Palace.”

"So that's how it is?"

"Damn it, I knew it wasn't simple!"

"His true intention in controlling Central Bureau 46 lies here."

The Grim Reapers finally realized the truth.

"How do you know all this?" Unlike the others, Toshiro was the one who raised the key question. "Even Aizen's former subordinates couldn't possibly know so much detail."

“Indeed, even Nel doesn’t know the details of this part.” Wuyue didn’t deny it; instead, she nodded with a smile. “However, I have my own methods. If I want to, there’s nothing in this world that I don’t know. Even the disappearance of the former captain that you’re concerned about.”

In an instant.

Both Toshiro and Rangiku Matsumoto's pupils contracted. Indeed, Mugetsu's words had struck a nerve. Their former captain, that carefree and irreverent man, was truly a thorn in their side.

"Well, that's enough for today." Standing up, Mugetsu stretched. "Everyone, get ready, things might get a little complicated tonight. As for you two, if you want to get to the bottom of this, then come with me." He looked at Rangiku and Toshiro.

Chapter 581: They came knocking!

Night deepened.

"What?! You and Ichigo Kurosaki are Captain Shiba's children?!" Inside the Inoue family compound, both Toshiro and Rangiku exclaimed in astonishment. "No way, this can't be true?!"

"Well, would I need to lie to you about something like this?" Wuyue shrugged and said, "Or was my explanation just not detailed enough?"

"No, that's not what we meant." After a moment, Toshiro realized what he meant and calmed down. "It's just that this news is too shocking and beyond our expectations."

“That’s right.” Rangiku nodded as well, saying, “I really didn’t expect that Captain Shiba would actually…”

"Well, it's good that you know." Wuyue shook her head and said, "If this gets back to the Soul Society, it will cause some trouble."

Indeed. In the eyes of those old fogies in Soul Society, even transferring a Shinigami's spiritual power to an ordinary person is an unforgivable sin.19 What's more, Kurosaki Isshin married a Quincy and had a child. This is practically pushing the limits of what Soul Society can tolerate.

If his affair is discovered, Kurosaki Isshin will inevitably have to go to the deepest prison.

"Don't worry about that," Toshiro nodded and assured him, "We won't mention it to anyone."

He wasn't just doing this for his former captain; he was doing it for the entire Soul Society. The war with Aizen's forces was already incredibly troublesome. If the Kurosaki family were pushed to the opposite side, the Soul Society might truly be doomed.

"Okay, you can stay here." Wuyue stood up and said, "There are plenty of rooms here, enough to accommodate you. The bathroom is upstairs, and you should have your own change of clothes."

"When I got the Gikai from the Twelfth Division, I also grabbed a few sets." Rangiku nodded.

"That's good." Wuyue nodded, seemingly relieved. "Otherwise, I would have to run out in the middle of the night to buy you clothes. That would be too much trouble..." Before she could finish speaking, she suddenly paused and turned her gaze to the window.

With his exceptional eyesight, he could clearly see a crack slowly opening in the sky several kilometers away. Several figures emerged from the crack. The one leading them was none other than the Sixtieth Espada, Grimmjow.

"An interesting fellow is about to appear." With a smirk, Wuyue muttered to herself.

In mid-air, Grimmjow narrowed his eyes and said calmly, "How strange. There are several inexplicably powerful spiritual pressures."

To his left, the male Arrancar with a braided hairstyle nodded. "It seems Ulquiorra's information was wrong."

"Hmph, this is more interesting." Grimmjow sneered. "Activate all your sensory nerves. Oh, such spiritual pressure... pure Shinigami. Did you summon reinforcements from Soul Society?"

“That makes things a bit troublesome,” asked another burly male Arrancar.

"Tsk, that's why I said that idiot was too naive." Grimmjow clicked his tongue and said, "If we hadn't wasted time and had just killed that guy directly, none of this would have happened. Delroy, Shawlong, Edorad, Ilford, Ajim, I'll get right there. Anyone who senses spiritual pressure, no need to distinguish... kill them all!"

"Yes!" The subordinate officials nodded in unison, and then turned into several streaks of light and disappeared.

The instant they moved, all the Shinigami in Karakura Town sensed it. They all transformed into Shinigami and flew into the air.

"Hmm, this spiritual pressure seems to be Grimmjow." Inside the Inoue family mansion, Nel said calmly, "And his subordinates?"
