Death God: Sunny and Cheerful Boy

That’s right, You Su Yu is none other than Yumozuo Su from a thousand years ago—the “demon concubine” who was said to have bewitched the Emperor Xingtian and set up the torture of burning people with fire.

But in fact, Kariya God certainly knew that the burning of people with fire back then was actually a ritual of "sucking the souls of living people" to help soul hunters be harmless!

Emperor Xingtian uses the souls of executed prisoners to train and cultivate soul hunters...

Among the "Soul Hunters" Tamamo Su is also a very special one.

For some reason, she possesses a unique "motherhood" among the "Soul Hunters" - it's not that she is the only female, but that she has many special qualities.

such as……

Theoretically, "Soul Hunters" cannot reproduce, whether they are "Soul Hunters" or with ordinary people. However, Tamamo Su and Xingtian Emperor have a prince, who is also a "Soul Hunter".

Unfortunately, the prince also died in battle when the Xingtian Dynasty was destroyed...

Kariya God also knew that the prince's [doll] at that time had the same name as Ah Hong's [doll] - Zhi Tai Sui.

Although he looks different now, considering that Tamamo Su adopted him as his adopted son, Kariya Shin doesn't think the name is a coincidence.

After learning of the existence of "Ahong", Kariya God has been planning to use it to threaten Tamamo Su and get her to hand over the unique [maternal] power among the soul hunters.

Whether it is the research results of Kariya God in recent years or some actions of the Xingtian Dynasty in the past, they all show that this kind of power should be able to collect the souls of living people on a large scale and transform the power of soul hunters to a whole new level.

"How ridiculous! Something was within your reach a thousand years ago, but you listened to the words of those gods of death, burned everything to ashes, suffered 99% casualties, and lived in exile for a thousand years, yet you come back to pursue it?" Tamamo Su said sarcastically.

Most of the Soul Hunters on Kariya God's side have not experienced the war thousands of years ago, but at least Kariya God is the first generation Soul Hunter. He knows what Tamamo Su is talking about, but on the surface he still pretends to be unmoved.

At the same time, the situation on Hong's side was getting worse and worse...

"What do you want to do? Even if your plan succeeds, after your [Dolls] transform, even if you enter Soul Society, there will be many Shinigami stronger than you. Just comparing with the Gotei 13, the gap in strength is already huge." Tamamo Su asked inquiringly.

"Your Highness Tamamo-sama doesn't need to worry about this." Kariya God did not reveal his intention.

"You want to..." Yumosu seemed to have thought of something, and at this moment, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly: "Hehe, since you definitely want to die, then go ahead... Show up, Qingqiu Territory."

Behind Tamamo Su, a huge animal head appeared. In an instant, the room was almost unable to accommodate the white fox... No, it should be said that if it stood up, a huge white fox that could not be accommodated in this five-meter-high central office appeared. Behind the white fox, there were seven overlapping tails.

Feeling the momentum of [Qingqiu Territory], Kariya God's face changed - had he been holding back just now?

However, Tamamo Su had no intention of fighting at this time. She just grabbed one of the white fox's tails, and the whole tail fell off immediately. Then Tamamo Su threw it towards Kariya Gami.

……

Half a month later, Hueco Mundo.

"It's earlier than I thought... I'm really impatient." Yilong originally thought that he could "monitor" in the Hueco Mundo for a month.

After all, the reason why he was sent here was not because the expeditionary force really needed supervision, but because his momentum was too strong!

Even with the sign of "Shifengyuan Family", too many people felt threatened, so when the power structure changed drastically, Yilong was sent out for a period of time to weaken Yilong's previous "great victory".

Otherwise, the Gotei 13 would soon be named Shihouin. Not to mention Yamamoto, other nobles would not want to see this.

Yilong originally estimated that this time might be as long as half a year or as short as a month, depending on the outcome of the secret "confrontation".

And yet it’s not even a month yet!

It seems that because of other reasons, the people of Seireitei can no longer sit still, so they want to ask Yilong to go back...

2023-09-09

Ichiryū returned to Hueco Mundo, and less than a month later, he had to go back to Soul Society, which made Nel very reluctant to let him go.

However, Nilu only behaves "childishly" in front of the teacher. This is a manifestation of her sense of security. She does not really become a child, and of course she will not stick around and not let go.

And Yilong also said...

"Don't worry, it won't be so long before we meet again." Yilong finally touched her head.

Then Yilong looked at another student who came to see him off, and saw that his tear-stained face was expressionless. After thinking for a moment, he decided not to touch his head.

……

January 997, 10 in the Jihad calendar.

Shihouin Ichiryū, captain of the Supervisory Corps, captain of the 9th Division of the Gotei 13, and head of the Shihouin family, returned from Hueco Mundo just 22 days after leaving the Soul Society.

After coming back, Yilong first went back to the Second Division—Soi Fong had already returned.

This is definitely not because Yilong cannot distinguish between public and private affairs, but it is for official business - Soi-Fong had gone to the real world before, and this time Yilong was urgently transferred back because of the matter of the "Soul Hunter" in the real world. Yilong plans to find her to inquire about it.

"Isn't this the busy Lord Shihouin? How come you have time to come to the Second Squad's barracks?" Soi-Fong said in a pretentious tone after seeing Ichiryu.

Yilong also knew that this was a mockery of himself. When she just arrived in the human world, he happened to return to the Soul Society and didn't have time to say hello. Yilong expressed deep regret...

"Captain, what you said... Isn't the second squad's barracks my home?" Yilong said shamelessly.

Yilong took out two jars of wine and said, "This is a bribe from Captain Kyoraku. If it was anything else, I wouldn't want to accept it..."

The result was naturally a stern stare from Soi Feng.

"Speaking of that uncle Kyoraku, are you thinking of plotting with him against the son-in-law of the Ise family? Now it seems that things are not going smoothly. Instead, people from the Kasumigaoji family have been arrested." Soi-Fong reminded.

Yilong's eyes lit up when he heard that - good catch!

Seeing Yilong's reaction, Soi-Fong immediately understood that this was also part of his calculations...

"Whether it's the Ise family or the Tsunayashiro family, they won't be able to achieve anything. But those guys in the 46th room are worried about worldly affairs, right?" Ichiryu asked Soi-Fong.

When this matter was mentioned, Soi-Fong was very unhappy again, and said meaningfully: "Well, although a certain Shinigami proxy kid is also attacking the Soul Hunters, but... now it seems that it can't be contained!

"The Forty-Sixth Chamber is already discussing whether to take the initiative to attack the human world or wait in the Seireitei."

Yilong was also a little surprised when he heard this: "Those soul hunters... are quite capable."

As for topics like "Death Agent Imp", Yilong simply ignored them.

"In addition, Lord Yoruichi and I discovered that the Soul Hunters should be divided into two camps." Soi-Fong's tone was a little confused at this time.

“That kind of thing doesn’t matter.” Yilong laughed.

Soi-Fong didn't doubt it, she just wondered: "I don't know why, Master Yoruichi seems to care so much and even wants to contact the other Soul Hunter, and seems to be hesitant to talk."

Old Patriarch, I advise you to be kind. You don’t want your brother to be disappointed, right?

"Yoichi... huh? Why are you calling the old patriarch 'sir' again?" Yilong changed the subject.

"My family is originally a lower-level noble family of the Shifengyuan clan... Is that not possible?" Soi-Fong explained with pretended calmness, but then she realized that Yilong was just making fun of her maliciously.

"I am also the head of Shifengyuan, and the current one." Yilong said in a low voice.

"What? Do you want me to call you Lord Ichiryu too?" Soi-Fong revealed a dangerous smile at this time.

“It’s not impossible…” Yilong said with his neck stiffened.

"Master Head of the Family, is there anything I would like to teach you?" Soi-Fong came closer.

……

Two hours later, Yilong left the second squad's barracks and went to the ninth squad's barracks. On the way, he passed by the inspection team's barracks, but Yilong didn't go there at all.

Ise Shinkuro is there, perhaps feeling a little smug?

After all, he has caught the "criminal"...

After his investigation, he found that the murderer used the "貘尧刀" of the Kasumidaru family, so he arrested four retainers of the Kasumidaru family!

As a high-ranking noble of the Shihouin clan, the Kasumigaoji family was taught a lesson by him this time and lost their temper.

As long as he waits for the outcome of the Soul Hunting incident and thoroughly confirms the matter, Shinkuro will be able to strike a severe blow to the Kasumigaoji family and even the Shihouin family. For this, he has been encouraged by Ise Chisako and Tsunayashiro Murao. He seems to have seen a bright future.

Although Shihouin Ichiryu has returned, when the military order was issued, everyone thought that he would have to stay in Hueco Mundo for at least a month, and... now he has to ask Shinkuro to close the case immediately, so he has no choice.

The evidence is a little lacking, but these four former desperadoes are just being stubborn!

Yilong had no intention of arguing or urging him, but he indirectly put some pressure on Xin Jiulang, asking him to increase the intensity of the interrogation - after all, the four people who were arrested were none other than Ban Zuo, Tong Hu and the others left behind by Yun Jing.

After Kumoi was killed by Aizen, Rurichiyo officially obtained the power of the head of the family. Since they were all retainers and expressed their support at the first time, they were not liquidated because of Kumoi's affairs later.

However, now that he is being tortured by Shinjiurou, Yilong not only does not feel sympathy, but instead hopes that he will be more ruthless and kill some people. This will also be considered their contribution to the Kasumigaoji family!

Ichilong returned to the 9th Division's barracks and checked the 9th Division's affairs and the situation of Seireitei Communication step by step...

As expected, Yilong didn't have much time to rest, as the Golden Seal Noble Council came to talk to him...

In theory, although the Kinyin Noble Council has no direct jurisdiction over the Gotei 13, it is in charge of the affairs of the nobility, and the person being interviewed now is "Ichiryu, the head of the Shihouin clan."

Yilong changed into aristocratic attire at a leisurely pace and rode to the "Golden Seal Noble Council" on a sedan chair.

The horses in front of the carriage are all specially made puppets.

As soon as he arrived at the door, he found that another sedan chair had just arrived, with the family emblem of the Kuchiki clan on it.

Yilong specially ordered someone to bring the carriage closer, to the point where it was almost touching the other car and the carriages of both sides could be connected if the windows were opened. If someone didn't know, they would have thought they had a collision, and the coachman of the Kuchiki family was scared to death.

Yilong opened the window and knocked on the window panel of the other car...

Then, Kuchiki Byakuya's stern face appeared from behind the car window.

"We are close friends, how about we ride together...

"Ah...it's Captain Byakuya, I thought it was your aunt...it's okay then." Yilong said in a disappointed tone.

Byakuya almost couldn't hold it in - what did my aunt mean by just coming over like this and inviting me to ride with you?

Of course, Byakuya knew that this guy was just trying to tease him on purpose - the shape of this carriage made it clear at a glance that it was the head of the family's carriage, so how could Shifengyuan Ichiryu not know that he was inside?

Ever since Aizen's defection, Masumi Kuchiki has stopped coming to the Gold Seal Council of Nobles, leaving Byakuya to take care of it on his own.

However, Byakuya still had to save face, and didn't want people to think that Shifengyuan Ichiryu came over and turned away when he found out it was him, so he took the initiative to speak: "Captain Shifengyuan, what do you think about the Soul Hunting matter?"

Hearing Byakuya speak and forcing him to talk about business, Ichiryū smiled smugly - since you spoke first, it means that the Kuchiki family took the initiative to collude with me, and the initiative is in my hands!

127. Chapter 127 Captain Level Meeting

127.

2023-09-09

Baiya had never seen anyone so deliberately "open up" before, so he had to take the initiative to ask Yilong.

"The Soul Hunters are just a minor problem to the Soul Soul Society. Aizen is the real threat. To destroy the Soul Hunters, the 13th and 11th squads just need to work together, and naturally we can annihilate the enemy in the world." Yilong said very generously.

The "13th Squad" is mentioned first because it is the "Purification Squad" which is responsible for the "present world". The "11th Squad", the "Combat Squad", is also mentioned, which obviously means that if it is just the "Purification Squad", the combat effectiveness may not be enough!

"Do you really think that the Forty-Six Chambers or the Gold Seal Noble Council would support doing this?" Byakuya asked silently.

He could tell that Yilong was just speaking sarcastically - that was the case purely from a tactical perspective, but... actual actions could not only consider tactics.

What the nobles resisted most was the Thirteenth Division's large-scale operations outside of Soul Society.

Firstly, Aizen is eyeing Hueco Mundo covetously. It is said that he has been operating in Hueco Mundo for a while and has tamed many powerful Hollows. They don't want their "bodyguard" to be distracted to other places at this time;

Secondly, even if the Aizen incident had not happened, the large-scale mobilization of Shinigami to other places would also make them feel insecure - when the generals are away from home, they are not subject to certain orders!

What if after we win the battle, we want to "rule the king of the mountain" or even turn around and start a mutiny?

This is different from an expeditionary force that goes out to "attack on others" and has no chance of returning.

"Hahaha, I was just talking casually. As for what to do specifically, it still depends on what Captain Yamamoto decides." Yilong put the blame on Yamamoto.

Byakuya is a little confused about Ichiryu's attitude...

He could never guess what Yilong wanted to do.

Well, if he had the ability to guess it, he wouldn't be so naive as he is now, and would not be dragged to the Golden Seal Noble Council for training by his aunt's "disdain"!

"By the way, Captain Xiumu, how is your sister doing lately?" Yilong suddenly smiled.

Kuchiki Byakuya looked at this with a sense of awkwardness.

"Thank you Captain Shifengyuan for your concern. My sister is doing well in the 13th Division." Kuchiki Byakuya frowned, looking like he didn't want to continue the conversation, but he couldn't help but respond.

"I heard that he is now the fourth seat of the 13th Division? It turns out that you were too hard on him before... Now that the 13th Division has no vice-captain and the third seat is taking care of the bedridden Captain Ukitake, the fourth seat is mainly in charge of the work, right?

"Very good, very good. She is so steady at such a young age. I am optimistic about her maturity and steadiness... Captain Kuchiki, what do you think of the previous trip to Soul Society?" Yilong continued to ask.
