Therefore, Kisuke Urahara had no choice but to leave Soul Society and lay low for a while.

"Then I'll go with you, wherever you go, I'll go!" Kuchiki Aoba realized the seriousness of the problem and chose to follow Urahara Kisuke down this path to the bitter end.

“Yes, I plan to go to the real world, but you need to come with me to a place first.” Kisuke Urahara nodded.

Kisuke Urahara chose to go to the human world to avoid trouble. The 46th Chamber implemented a rule that Shinigami must have their spiritual pressure limited when they go to the human world in order to avoid causing too much damage to reality.

This is great news for Kisuke Urahara, who needs to go out and avoid the limelight.

The two traveled at a fast pace, with Kuchiki Aoba moving much slower than Urahara Kisuke. He had to slow down a bit, but fortunately, they were both wearing cloaks that could block spiritual perception, so they were not caught up by the Sixth Division's pursuers.

After a long while, the two arrived at the deadwood forest at the entrance of the laboratory.

Kisuke Urahara checked the spirit particle spells outside and found no trace of any spells being triggered.

After checking the spiritual energy incantations outside, they entered the laboratory.

"It was taken after all... but not a trace was left. How did he find this place!" Kisuke Urahara's face was grim. The loss of the Hogyoku had rendered all his efforts over the past few months futile.

Kisuke Urahara looked at the two incubation chambers; Aizen Sousuke hadn't taken the artificial soul embryos inside.

Without the Hogyoku, it wouldn't be easy to create such an artificial soul embryo again, so he put the two incubation chambers into his spirit space pocket and took them away.

Chapter 364 Communication

During July, I mainly stayed in Hueco Mundo, teaching my three newly accepted Hollow disciples.

Of the three newly accepted disciples, Grimmjow was the most motivated. Once his competitive spirit was aroused, he began to train very proactively.

Ulquiorra often immerses himself in his own world, pondering questions that are difficult for others to answer.

However, when he was taught cultivation in July, he would carry it out properly.

Stark, on the other hand, was the laziest. He had no motivation to become stronger, and whenever he was training, he would definitely slack off unless July was watching him.

"You've mastered the Stream of Light so quickly?" July came to Grimmjow's side to observe his progress, then suddenly changed the subject, "Although he's a bit slower than the Starks, his progress is not bad."

Although Grimmjow, Ulquiorra, and Stark had only recently begun learning swordsmanship, they all had their own insights into the use of spiritual pressure and quickly mastered the technique 'Flowing Light,' which is related to spiritual pressure blade techniques.

In July, they were also taught 'Instant Strike' and 'Thousand Pieces Disarm'. They were physically strong, so mastering these sword techniques was not difficult for them, but becoming proficient in them was not easy.

This allowed July to easily gain 90000 general experience points.

"What!" Grimmjow was indignant when he heard his teacher say that Stark was faster than him. "I learned all those sword techniques first, how could I be slower than him!"

“Stark came later, and he learned these sword skills in the shortest time.”

Ulquiorra said calmly.

"I just wasn't taking it seriously!"

Grimmjow decided to show them just how terrifying he could be when he went all out.

"Having a competitive spirit is a good thing." July looked at Grimmjow, who was diligently training, and nodded in satisfaction.

Meanwhile, Stark was resting on a rock.

“Your rest time is a bit too long, Stark.” July teleported to Stark’s side and shook her head helplessly.

"I didn't rest for long. Cultivation is tiring, and it's not good to get too tired," Stark said weakly, as if he were already exhausted.

“I didn’t rest for long…” Lilynette said, mimicking Stark’s tone, “I only rested for an hour!”

"Don't talk nonsense!" Stark said quickly, "It definitely wasn't an hour!"

“Don’t waste your talent, Stark,” July said with a smile. “I hope Grimmjow doesn’t lose too badly when he comes to challenge you.”

"What did the teacher say to that leopard again?" Stark's face fell as he recalled being harassed by Grimmjow a few days ago. "Don't always use me to provoke him!"

"We can't lose!" Lilynette yanked Stark to his feet. "Stop slacking off, get up and practice your swordsmanship!"

Stark reluctantly ended his rest and got up to practice his swordsmanship.

Just then, July's messenger received a communication request from Ajin.

"Captain, something terrible has happened! Lieutenant Urahara has defected!"

"Defection? Urahara Kisuke?"

After activating the messenger device, July received an unexpected message.

"He abducted the young lady of the Kuchiki family and stole treasures from the Kuchiki family's secret vault... The Sixth Division is hunting him down, and he should have already left Soul Society... The Captain-Commander even sent Lieutenant Captain Sasakibe to inquire about the situation, and he's currently at the Research and Development Bureau!"

Ajin explained the situation to July.

"Please deal with the vice-captain of the Sparrow Division for me, I'll be right back."

July felt that things were starting to go in a strange direction. How could Kisuke Urahara have gotten involved with the young lady of the Kuchiki family?

Upon returning to Soul Society, July went straight to the Research and Development Bureau.

"Sosuke?"

In July, he saw Aizen Sousuke at the entrance of the Technology Development Bureau, and it seemed that it was not a chance encounter, but rather that someone had been waiting for him there.

"Teacher, I have come to apologize to you," Aizen Sousuke said softly.

He didn't intend to hide this from his teacher. His teacher had already witnessed 'Mirror Flower Water Moon's' hypnotic abilities, so it was impossible to keep this from him.

"Is Kisuke Urahara's affair related to you?"

July raised an eyebrow. Aizen Sousuke was waiting for him here at this time, obviously to talk to him about Urahara Kisuke.

“This matter is indeed related to me. After I discovered that Urahara Kisuke and Kuchiki Aoba were having an affair, I provided them with some assistance.” Aizen Sousuke nodded.

"Help... Kisuke Urahara shouldn't be that stupid. He wouldn't choose to defect for no reason, right? What role did you play in this?" July pressed.

"Kisuke Urahara used Aoba Kuchiki to obtain the 'Spirit King Fragment' preserved by the Kuchiki family. I merely brought this matter to light," Sosuke Aizen explained.

"Urahara Kisuke has actually started researching 'Soul King Fragments' too...?" July raised an eyebrow.

"Not only that, his progress is no slower than ours. He already has the ability to create the Hogyoku. I personally witnessed his process of creating the Hogyoku. His approach is somewhat different from ours, but there are also commonalities." Aizen Sousuke said with admiration.

Even with the 'Spirit King Fragment', the Hogyoku cannot be created casually.

The Tsunayo family once invested a lot of resources in the research of the 'Spirit King Fragment', but after so many years, they have not produced many research results.

"They already have the ability to create Hogyoku...?" July scratched her face, remembering how Kisuke Urahara often complained about the heavy workload at the Technology Development Bureau and how little rest time he had. It turned out he was squeezing out all his time to do his own thing.

"Urahara Kisuke is, after all, from the 12th Division. I am deeply sorry for attacking him without the master's permission," Aizen Sousuke said apologetically.

“You know I’m very protective of my own. You’re my disciple, and Urahara Kisuke isn’t a member of the Shikatori-ryu school, so naturally I’ll side with you… However…” July’s eyes narrowed, “I hope you remember one thing: don’t do anything to harm the Shikatori-ryu school!”

I knew when I took him on as a disciple that Aizen Sousuke was a very proactive person.

If you have the ability and your own ideas, you will definitely dare to take action.

However, July felt that as long as he didn't make any fundamental mistakes, taking Aizen Sousuke as his disciple would be more beneficial than harmful.

It's obvious that Aizen Sousuke caused such a commotion that the 'Hōgyoku' made by Uramoto Kisuke ended up in his hands.

However, after obtaining the 'Spirit King Fragment' from the ancient Hollows of Hueco Mundo in July, as well as the 'Spirit King Fragments' treasured by the Tsunayoshiro and Shihouin families, the 'Spirit King Fragments' he currently possesses are enough to synthesize a complete Hogyoku.

Therefore, there's no need to covet the Hogyoku in Aizen Sousuke's possession.

The teacher system in July is actually somewhat similar to Yhwach's abilities.

The stronger the Quincy are, the more power Yhwach can reclaim.

In July, the stronger his disciples become, the stronger he will become!

He also hoped that Aizen Sousuke would reach the limit of a Shinigami so that he could complete the 'Path of Transcendence' as soon as possible.

"Of course, I always keep that in mind. As your disciple, I would never do anything to harm the Shikatori-ryu school," Aizen Sousuke said, bowing his head.

Chapter 365 Chase

The Sixth Division lost track of Kisuke Urahara while pursuing him and had to slink back to seek help from the Technology Development Bureau.

The person who was happiest after Kisuke Urahara's arrest warrant was issued was Mayuri Kurotsuchi.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi is actively using technological means to track Kisuke Urahara's location.

Kuchiki Sojun stood anxiously to the side, waiting.

This was the first time I had seen him in this state in July.

He has always been known for his gentle personality, and even among ordinary Shinigami, his reputation is no less than that of Jushiro Ukitake.

"Don't worry, Kisuke Urahara may be a bit eccentric, but he's not an irredeemable villain. He won't hurt Miss Aoba," July patted Aojun Kuchiki's shoulder, comforting him.

“I know.” Kuchiki Sojun took a deep breath. “That’s not what I’m worried about.”

He was also certain that Kuchiki Aoba's safety was not in any danger.

Although it was said to be Kisuke Urahara who kidnapped Aoba Kuchiki, he knew very well that Aoba Kuchiki had actually gone with Kisuke Urahara on his own initiative.

Furthermore, it is highly likely that Aoba Kuchiki was the mole who stole Kisuke Urahara's secret vault!

The Kuchiki family's secret vault is not easy to enter. It is protected by layers of protective spells, and only those of the Kuchiki family bloodline can enter without breaking the protective spells.

After the theft, the Kuchiki family checked the protective spells, and a clansman just reported to him that there were no signs of tampering with the spells!

In other words, without Kuchiki Aoba's guidance, Uramoto Kisuke could not have infiltrated the secret vault so easily!

This news was a huge blow to Kuchiki Sōjun.

Even if they capture Urahara Kisuke and bring Kuchiki Aoba back, Kuchiki Aoba will still have to bear the punishment according to the clan rules.

In the Kuchiki family, stealing from the family's secret vault is a serious crime, and the punishment that would be difficult for Kuchiki Aoba to bear.

Kuchiki Sojun is in a state of extreme inner conflict because he has to bring back the stolen treasure but doesn't want his sister to come back and be punished.

“I’ve tracked down his spiritual remnants. He’s already fled to Rukongai. We need to hurry and not let him get away!” Mayuri Kurotsuchi pulled up a set of data on the spiritual light screen.

“Urahara Kisuke and Kuchiki Aoba must have donned invisibility cloaks to conceal their spiritual pressure fluctuations, yet your instrument can still detect their residual information.” July stroked her chin, examining the spiritual particle detector that Kurotsuchi Mayuri was controlling.

Everything leaves a trace, only the degree differs.

I slightly upgraded the instrument's precision, and now I can detect even finer traces.

"Captain, Kisuke Urahara has obtained many of the core technologies and secrets of the Technology Development Bureau. We must arrest him as soon as possible!"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi even volunteered to lead the team to capture Kisuke Urahara.

“Let’s act together then.” July nodded.

Although he had already learned from Aizen Sousuke that Urahara Kisuke had left Soul Society, Urahara Kisuke was, after all, someone from the 12th Division. Since Kuchiki Sōjun was leading the pursuit, he had to put on a show and cooperate with the 6th Division.

Some time later, following the trail left by Mayuri Kurotsuchi, the group found the location of Kisuke Urahara's private laboratory.

"This is it!" Mayuri Kurotsuchi seemed excited. "The spiritual particle traces here are relatively dense. According to the traces, this is a place that Kisuke Urahara often comes to!"

Mayuri Kurotsuchi used an instrument that detects traces of spiritual energy to locate the hidden spiritual energy formula within this withered forest.

"Don't move!" Mayuri Kurotsuchi stopped Souichi Kuchiki, who was trying to rush in. "There's a trap here!"

"Then I'll trouble Nie Sanxi to remove the spell here!" Kuchiki Sojun's eyelids twitched, and he stopped helplessly.

"Third seat? Oh ho ho ho..." Mayuri Kurotsuchi chuckled strangely, "...maybe I'll be a vice-captain soon!"

Kisuke Urahara has committed such a serious offense that it's no wonder he can't remain a vice-captain; he should be promoted soon.

Mayuri Kurotsuchi took a can of liquid from his sleeve and sprinkled it into the air.

The liquid from the jar spilled onto a previously empty spot, but it seemed to stick to something.

Under the influence of these liquids, the hidden spiritual energy formulas quickly surfaced. The dense array of spiritual energy formulas in the withered forest made everyone think they had entered a spider's nest covered with spider webs.

"That guy's got some skill; he managed to hide these spirit particle spells so well." Mayuri Kurotsuchi grinned. "Too bad, he still couldn't fool me."

When Kuchiki Sojun saw the dense array of spiritual energy spells, he couldn't help but feel a little alarmed. If he had tried to force his way through, he might have paid a heavy price.

“I see.” Mayuri Kurotsuchi observed for a while and concluded, “There is a hidden space here, but these spells are likely closely connected to that hidden space. If these spells are destroyed, it will trigger a self-destruct trap in the hidden space.”

"Then what should we do?" Kuchiki Sojun asked.

“It’s simple, just disable these spell traps without destroying them.” Mayuri Kurotsuchi felt like he was fighting against Kisuke Urahara, and his excitement grew.

Moments later, Mayuri Kurotsuchi used various methods to render all the traps set up here ineffective.

"Everyone, you can come in now."

Mayuri Kurotsuchi extended an invitation to everyone as if she were at home.
