The biggest drawback of this ability is that it can only be used on another person after hypnotizing one person, and it is impossible to cast a spell on two people at the same time.
"Let them go!" the leader shouted loudly.
The deputy beside the guard leader gave him a puzzled look, and the guard leader shook his head, indicating that he should not ask any more questions.
The more powerful a world's privileged class is, and the more solid the class is, the more convenient it is for Li Zhong. With a sentence like "this is not something you should know", even if someone has doubts in their hearts, they dare not act rashly against Li Zhong!
After Li Zhong passed the family guards, the rest of the journey was smooth. Seeing the retainer leading the way and Li Zhong's extraordinary appearance, the other servants in the family subconsciously thought that he was a guest invited by the head of the family.
It was not until Li Zhong arrived at the Xiadalu family's mansion where the head of the family lived that he encountered another obstacle.
But how could they resist Li Zhong's power? They couldn't resist it at all!
Not easily! Definitely not to bite your teeth!
After a moment of blurred vision, Li Zhong used the same trick again and made way for him.
Li Zhong and his companions walked through the seemingly heavily guarded cordons as if they were in an empty space, and came to the presence of the head of the Xiadalu family, the young noble woman who held enormous power.

Chapter 41: The Hypnosis Experience of a Noble Young Woman
That’s right, the Kasumigaoji Family, one of the upper noble families after the four noble families in Soul Society, has been ruled by women for generations.
The current head of the Xiadalu family is a very beautiful young noblewoman. When Li Zhong saw her, she was playing chess with her husband in the courtyard in a leisurely and elegant manner.
Li Zhong's sudden intrusion made her hand holding the chess piece pause for a moment, but she did not panic.
She calmly put the white Go piece in her hand back into the chess pot and said, "Excuse me, distinguished guest, what brings you here?"
She didn't know Li Zhong and Kaname Yuan, but since the two of them were able to come in front of her without alerting any guards, they must be extraordinary beings. It also meant that the other party could take her life without alerting anyone!
Even if he acted in a panic and shouted loudly, it would probably have no other effect except causing his subordinates and retainers to lose their lives in vain and pushing the situation in a worse direction.
It’s better to stay calm.
There may still be room for maneuver.
"My purpose is very simple. I want to borrow your power. Of course, I will reward you handsomely in the future." Li Zhong's face was serious and solemn. He raised one hand, snapped his fingers, and hypnosis started!
This gesture is not necessary, it is just a disguise.
In a flash, the Xiadalu family head's watery eyes became blurred for a moment, and then became clear again.
This time Li Zhong's hypnosis was very clever.
"So that's how it is." The head of the Xiadalu family felt that he was in a very strange state.
There were some extra 'settings' in her mind. She knew that she was hypnotized and her consciousness was very clear, but she could not resist those 'settings'.
The reason for this is the experience Li Zhong has gained from past practice.
If full consciousness hypnosis is used, in the world with extraordinary powers, as long as more questions are asked about topics related to Li Zhong, it is easy for experts who have in-depth research on the mind to see something.
If the other party does not have any intention of serious confrontation with Li Zhong, then this kind of hypnosis can make people more natural and the probability of being exposed is greatly reduced.
"I don't sense any fluctuation of spiritual power. Your ability is really strange and dangerous." The eyes of the head of the Xia Dalu family became solemn.
The tall man in front of him exuded a frightening aura when he was serious, but a hint of integrity could be seen on his face.
The "settings" he gave himself also indirectly reflected that he was not the kind of person who indulged in desires and acted lawless. Instead, he knew what to do and what not to do, and he followed through on his true intentions without being disturbed by distracting thoughts.
Li Zhong smiled slightly, but did not respond. Instead, he said, "Sorry to bother you these days. We will leave once you have made arrangements. And once we have learned what we want to learn, we will not stay in Soul Society for long."
"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible." Join the Gotei 13... I hope nothing serious will happen.
Even though she was worried, there was nothing she could do. She was already living under someone else's roof, and her life and death depended on the other person's thoughts. She should just take care of herself first.
"The key is to be fast. I don't want to wait for dozens or hundreds of years. It's okay to use rough means. I just want to get that position. I don't need too much real power except for checking information, knowledge and intelligence. I don't want to develop here for a long time." Li Zhong reminded again.
"Okay." Don't want real power... That would make things much easier.
"Then I'll take care of it. By the way, it's a bit rude to ask someone to do something without any advice. Here's the deposit." As Li Zhong finished his words, the deposit he gave also arrived in the account.
The head of the Xiadalu family suddenly felt her plump body burning hot and softening. After a few seconds, she found that she felt more relaxed than ever before.
Although she was born into an aristocratic family, enjoyed all kinds of delicacies, and had the care of famous doctors, her frail health since childhood had never improved as she grew up. Her personal doctor told her that with her physical condition, it would be fine for her to take care of herself, but if she wanted to have offspring, it would be a very dangerous thing.
It may even lead to death.
So she and her husband have been married for many years but have never had children, and the Xiadaolu family still has no heir.
The 'deposit' that Li Zhong gave her was to use his hypnotic ability to bring her body to a healthy level.
Surprisingly, it's not just a mental influence, but it can even do something like this!
After clenching his fists and feeling the relief in his body, the head of the Xiadalu family raised Li Zhong's danger level to a higher level in his mind.
After finishing the important matters, Li Zhong did not stay here for long. After he left, he fell into an unconscious state. Only after he married into the Xiadalu family and the husband of the female head of the family regained consciousness.
He discovered nothing. In his consciousness, Li Zhong had never been there. The black piece in his hand fell with a snap to the position on the chessboard that he had been thinking about for a long time.
...Li Zhong thinks that some things are enough to be told to the people who are in charge, and there is no need to let too many people know.
From that day on, the Xiadalu family had two more guests.
No one knows where they came from, all they know is that they are old friends of the head of the Kasumigaoji family who he had known for a long time. The reason they showed up in public this time is because they gave up their seclusion and wanted to take action in the Soul Society!
.
.
.
Here, Li Zhong used hypnosis to pave the way for him to move into the Kasumigaoji family, and began to make plans to join the Gotei 13 in the near future.
On the other hand, after more than a month of intensive investigation, even with the power of the four noble families in Soul Society, they still could not find the reason for the Soul King's unusual behavior.
Some people also believe that the root cause of the Soul King's abnormal movements may not be in Soul Society, but in the real world, Hueco Mundo, or even Hell.
But it’s still easy in this world. Even the four great nobles find it difficult to find out about the affairs of Hueco Mundo, let alone hell.
Since this matter cannot be solved even with so many resources in a short period of time, I am afraid that nothing can be found out in the short term.
The Spirit King did not take any other action afterwards.
So the four great nobles began to give up the high-intensity investigation one after another, retaining only one or two small teams to continue the investigation.
Only the Tsunayashiro family is still searching for clues with perseverance.
They even planned to form an expeditionary force to search for clues in Hueco Mundo.
…Thanks to the actions of the Tsunayashiro family, a certain 5th Division Shinigami wearing black-framed glasses had no choice but to slow down his activities in Hueco Mundo.
The storm caused by the flapping wings of foreign butterflies has not stopped yet!

Chapter 42: Suppressing the Rebellion
In Soul Society, there are generally three ways to join the Gotei 13.
First, the way most Shinigami enter the Gotei 13 is to pass a soul aptitude test and obtain the qualification to study at the Maou Spiritual Academy. After studying for several years, they are recruited by the Gotei 13 based on their performance, or they actively "apply" for the job.
Of course, the Shinō Academy of Spiritual Arts, a treasure trove of Soul Society class transition, does not only lead to the Gotei 13, but also the Kidōshu and other organizations will select fresh blood from it.
Moreover, the students there are not only commoners, but also many nobles. Throughout history, countless people have seized the opportunity to complete breakthroughs that would have taken hundreds of years of normal efforts after studying there.
The second type is the special internal channels of certain nobles.
Similar to the Noble Squad 6, although most of the Shinigami in the team have been to the Maou Spiritual Academy, there are also examples of skipping this step and entering directly.
There is also the Second Division, the private domain of the Shihouin family, one of the four great nobles. Many people in this team identify themselves as Xingjun first, retainers loyal to Shihouin, and finally as Second Division Shinigami. Some internal personnel arrangements can be completely decided by the Shihouin family.
The third type is a special appointment from the top brass of the Gotei 13.
For example, Urahara Kisuke, who was still the captain of the 12th Division, released Kurotsuchi Mayuri from the prison "Maggot Nest" and invited him to join the 12th Division.
Later, Kenpachi Zaraki used special channels to get special approval for Yachiryu Kusaka to enter the 11th Division directly.
In addition to the three conventional methods, there is also an extremely special case.
Just go and kill the current captain of the 11th Division, and then you will be the new captain of the 11th Division!
The 11th Division is the main combat and attacking team in the Gotei 13 Division. It is full of combat enthusiasts, and the captain position is inherited by the person who holds the title of "Kenpachi". Under the witness of many Shinigami, if you defeat and kill the previous Kenpachi head-on, you can seize the opponent's title, and the captain position will also be plundered!
It’s a pity that Li Zhong wanted to join the Technical Development Team, Squad 12, otherwise things would be much simpler.
"The former captain of the 12th Division was promoted to a higher position not long ago, and a new captain has just been replaced. The person behind that captain is the Shifengyuan family, one of the four great noble families. Although he has a backer and seems to be quite capable, he is a newcomer and his foundation is not stable."
There were five families involved in the establishment of the Three Realms, but one of them had already gone into hiding, so today, thousands of years later, people still like to call them the Four Great Nobles.
Kneeling on the tatami, the head of the Kasumidaru family poured tea for his two "guests" while telling them about the results of his hard work over the past few days.
Kaname Madoka picked up the teacup, took a sip and said thank you.
"He has been recruiting people recently. If he doesn't have his own confidants to appoint to key positions, you should have a chance to get a relatively high position."
"But what I want is a position in the 12th Division where I can freely browse all the team information." Li Zhong shook his head and said.
"The other party became the captain because of the recommendation of the captain of the second division, Shifengyuan Yoruichi, and Captain-General Yamamoto nodded. Even if the Kasumigaoji family put all their strength into this matter, it would be impossible to go against the will of the four great nobles and the 'strongest god of death' in this matter." The head of the Kasumigaoji family said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Soul Society has a strict class system, and the Kasumigaoji family is one of the beneficiaries, enjoying many privileges on a normal basis. However, these rights almost disappear when facing more powerful nobles, for the same reason.
One step difference makes a world of difference.
Even if the Kasumigaoji family became the strongest among the upper nobles, they would never be able to touch the territory of the four great nobles.
As they are connected to the Soul King, their status in Soul Society is transcendent. Even if they fall one day in the future, they are not something that ordinary people can attack.
"Then what are you going to do?" Li Zhong focused his gaze on the beautiful face of the noble lady in front of him. She remained calm, and excluding the possibility that she was born emotionally indifferent, she behaved like this, which seemed to indicate that she already had a solution.
"Simple, cooperation." Mrs. Xia Dalu stated her plan.
This story began not long ago.
After Li Zhong met Mrs. Xia Dalu for the first time and had a brief exchange, he settled down at Xia Dalu's house.
During their conversation, her husband was in a hypnotic state and knew nothing.
It was only later that he discovered the physical changes that had taken place on his wife after she was hypnotized by Li Zhong.
Mrs. Xia Dalu only said that Li Zhong's miraculous healing skills restored her health, and she didn't say anything else.
He had a tacit understanding with his wife and understood the situation very well, so he didn't ask any more questions.
Whatever the reason, he was very happy about his wife's recovery.
Not only him, but also those direct retainers were extremely happy about this, because in this way the Kasumigaoji family could continue.
According to the doctor's previous diagnosis, given Mrs. Xia Dalu's previous physical condition, if she gave birth, she would most likely... die!
Now, they have no worries.
When everyone was rejoicing, there was only one person who was not very happy, and that was the retainer Yun Jing.
Although he was a retainer of Xia Dalu, he had been making his own moves in secret. Originally, he planned to take advantage of the lack of successors in the family and wait for the right opportunity to take a big bite of Xia Dalu's property.
But now, this plan has been ruined.
The only despair amidst all the joy was keenly sensed by Kaname Madoka, who told Li Zhong, who then told it to Mrs. Kasumigaru.
It is not convenient for him to interfere in other people's family affairs.
And Yunjing's actions were nothing in secret, but once they were made public, they were quickly suppressed by Madam Kasumidaru, whose family's prestige and cohesion had increased because of the hope of succession!
There was not a single splash.
A noble patriarch who is at the peak of his career, and a sneaky retainer, anyone with no brain damage would know which side to take.
As a result, Mrs. Kasumidaru also obtained the forging technology of the 獏尧刀 that Yunjing had secretly researched.
Simply put, this is a weapon that can continuously devour the user's spiritual power and burst out with powerful force.
In terms of specific power, it's probably equivalent to the Shikai of an ordinary Shinigami. If you want to increase the power, it's not impossible, but the input-output ratio will not be appropriate.
Its greatest function is probably to raise the combat effectiveness of miscellaneous soldiers to elite levels.
It's OK for beating ordinary people, but there's no place for it in high-end battlefields for Bankai above captain level. At best it can play a supporting role.
After reading the detailed information on the technology, Mrs. Kasumigaoji made a decision immediately. She took this opportunity to make a deal with the Gotei 13.
