As Rukia Kuchiki spoke, she released a wisp of her aura. Instantly, the two felt that terrifying pressure again. However, Rukia Kuchiki withdrew it quickly enough, so they were not crushed by it again.

After withdrawing her aura, Rukia Kuchiki also entered the portal.

"Let's go, it seems Rukia has gotten a really great opportunity."

Kuchiki Byakuya knew that this was something he couldn't interfere with now, so he simply rushed into the portal. As for Abarai Renji, although he had come to his senses, his mind was filled with questions about why Kuchiki Rukia was so strong.

It's worth noting that when he first entered the True Spiritual Arts Academy, his talent surpassed Rukia's, and now he's the vice-captain.

He thought he had already surpassed Kuchiki Rukia and started chasing after Kuchiki Byakuya, only to find that Kuchiki Rukia was actually so strong, which made him question his life.

"This is... the First Division barracks. We actually came here directly from the human world!"

After entering the portal, the two saw a familiar building and a large "1" above it. Clearly, this was Team One. They hadn't expected Xu Yong to come here directly.

"Who are you? Captain Kuchiki? Vice-Captain Abarai? What are you doing here?"

When the members of the First Division saw strangers appearing in front of the First Division barracks using special means, they naturally couldn't sit still. However, they were stunned when they saw Kuchiki Byakuya and Abarai Renji.

"Go find the Chief Commander. I will personally report to him what happened next."

Kuchiki Byakuya didn't want these Shinigami to clash with Xu Yong either. After all, even he, the captain of the Sixth Division, was overwhelmed by Xu Yong's aura. If other Shinigami came, they would only be easy prey.

Upon hearing Byakuya Kuchiki's words, the Shinigami went directly to find the old man.

Soon, the old man arrived with his adjutant, Chojiro Sasakibe.

"Captain Kuchiki, what's going on here? When did you get back? And who are they?"

He naturally knew what mission Byakuya Kuchiki and Renji Abarai were going on, since the orders were issued through him by the 46th Chamber.

Now that they've returned and even arrived at my doorstep, I haven't received any news. These strangers are clearly not Shinigami. If they're not Shinigami, then they must be Ryoka (traveling ghosts).

"Commander-in-Chief..."

Kuchiki Byakuya quickly told the old man what had just happened, including Kuchiki Rukia's guess. Xu Yong and the others didn't say anything and just watched from the side.

In fact, Xu Yong was already prepared for a fight, after all, he knew very well how pedantic these people in Soul Society were.

The top executives of the three major shonen manga and anime series—Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece—were all in complete disarray and extremely corrupt.

Although Old Man Shan is not like the 46th Chamber, he obeys the 46th Chamber. In any case, he will carry out any order given by the 46th Chamber, whether it is reasonable or not.

So even though Byakuya Kuchiki and Yamamoto emphasized that there were many doubts about this matter, for someone like Yamamoto, he only cared about carrying out the orders given from above.

"I understand, but Rukia Kuchiki is still a sinner, and these other Ryokas must all be taken down!"

After hearing Kuchiki Byakuya's words, the old man immediately gave the order, and all the members of the First Division immediately pointed their swords at Xu Yong and the others.

"Looks like we have no choice but to take action!"

Mirajane shook her head as she watched this scene. Strictly speaking, the old man hadn't done anything wrong, since Rukia Kuchiki had indeed committed a crime against Soul Society.

So regardless of whether there's a mastermind behind this, taking them down now shouldn't be a problem.

However, Xu Yong and his group were not going to give in so easily.

A terrifying aura erupted instantly, and a mountain-like pressure once again weighed down on all the Grim Reapers. Under this terrifying pressure, only Old Man Shan was still able to stand; the others had all collapsed to the ground.

Furthermore, apart from Byakuya Kuchiki, Renji Abarai, and Chojiro Sasakibe, all the other Shinigami had lost consciousness.

Feeling the pressure, the old man's eyes widened, his previous composure vanished, and his cane quickly disappeared, revealing the Zanpakuto within.

However, before the old man could even draw his Zanpakuto, he found his hand empty; the Zanpakuto had vanished from his grasp.

"Ryujin Jakka, the strongest fire-type Zanpakuto."

Looking at the Ryujin Jakka in his hand, Xu Yong shook his head, gripped both ends of the Ryujin Jakka with both hands, and with a sudden force, he broke this Zanpakuto, which was known as the strongest fire-type sword, in two.

"It's...it's broken!"

At this moment, Chojiro's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. This was Ryujin Jakka! He knew how powerful Ryujin Jakka was, but he was just broken in two like that, and with his bare hands. This scene left Chojiro completely dumbfounded, and he even doubted whether he was hallucinating.

"How can this be!"

Even Byakuya Kuchiki's icy demeanor crumbled, and even the old man was stunned into place.

Although it's true that as long as it's not destroyed in Bankai mode, it can be repaired, he was still quite unsettled seeing his Zanpakuto broken.

However, the old man was still a veteran Shinigami who had lived for thousands of years. Even without his Zanpakuto, he still had his fists and Kido.

"Just shut up for a bit!"

However, the next second Xu Yong appeared in front of him and used an acupoint strike to lock all the spiritual pressure in the old man's body, rendering him unable to move.

"Sure enough, the battle was over in the blink of an eye. Mr. Xu Yong, what should we do now?"

Mirajane asked, "We won the fight, but what's next? These guys don't seem so easy to talk to."

"That's simple, just let someone of a higher rank negotiate."

As he spoke, Xu Yong made a palm-blade gesture with his right hand, and then suddenly swung it into the air. A jet-black slash erupted from his hand and flew towards the Seireitei.

The Seireitei's defensive barrier was shattered instantly by this attack, like a bubble.

The black paring knife continued its relentless upward strike. Above Seireitei was, of course, the Soul King's Palace, separated by seventy-two layers of barriers.

Even Yhwach could only enter the Spirit King's Palace when the barrier was open.

However, Xu Yong's black paring knife didn't care about any of that. With a single slash, the seventy-two layers of barriers were directly cut open, and the terrifying attack grazed the edge of the Spirit King Palace and disappeared from the sight of the Zero Squad members.

"Hey, hey, hey, is this for real?! The seventy-two layers of barriers have actually been cut open! What on earth happened?!"

The Zero Division reacted quickly, immediately finding Hyosube Ichibei and asking what had happened.

"As you can see, the defensive barrier has been cleaved open. It's an incredible power, even more terrifying than the Spirit King. Let's go down there, everyone. This is a being we can't afford to provoke."

Hyōjube Ichibei spoke up. He had naturally seen what had happened, so he had chased after Xu Yong. He had used this slash to call them down; otherwise, this slash would have cut through more than just the seventy-two layers of barriers.

Anyway, he couldn't have blocked that slash just now. If it had been aimed at the Spirit King Palace or the Spirit King himself, the Spirit King would have been finished.

The Zero Division moved very quickly, arriving directly at Seireitei in the Heavenly Pillar Chariot.

At this moment, the other Shinigami in Seireitei were also alerted and rushed towards the First Division. However, before they arrived, a huge pillar fell directly from the sky and landed in the First Division's barracks.

"That troublesome guy came down too. What happened?"

Looking at the falling cylindrical object, Kyoraku Shunsui was somewhat helpless.

"Captain, what was that just now?"

Ise Nanao, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but ask.

"It seems something big has happened in the Zero Division's vehicle, the Heavenly Pillar Chariot. Nanao, you should go back first. It's best not to get involved in what's going on there."

After saying that, Kyoraku Shunsui immediately used Shunpo to rush over. He used Shunpo at full power, and Ise Nanao couldn't catch up at all. However, Ise Nanao naturally couldn't go back, and instead continued to head towards the First Division.

Although most of the other team leaders didn't know what was going on, they also sped up their pace.

Chapter 106: Aizen Takes Over the Zero Division of Seireitei and is Arrested

Among the captains of the 13th Division, not many knew how the Zero Division traveled. After all, the last time the Zero Division appeared was when Kiryu Hikifune joined the Zero Division, and by then many of the captains who had seen the Zero Division had already left Soul Society.

"To think you've been made to look so pathetic, Yamamoto. It's rare to see you get such a slap in the face!"

After the Heavenly Pillar Carriage landed, Hyosube Ichibei also appeared with the members of the Zero Squad, but this time he didn't have time for people to wave flags and make gestures.

"Who...who is this person?"

Renji Abarai was completely bewildered when he saw the Zero Division members appear.

"Squad Zero, what are you doing here? Did you just...?"

Chojiro Sasaki naturally recognized the members of the Zero Division upon seeing them, but he was well aware of what the Zero Division's appearance meant.

Although most members of the Zero Division were promoted from captains in Soul Society, they had only one duty: to guard the Soul King Palace.

Chojiro Sasaki clearly remembered what the old man had told him: as long as the Soul King Palace was not threatened, the Zero Division would not appear unless Soul Society faced a crisis of destruction.

Furthermore, the Zero Division will not act immediately when Soul Society faces a crisis, but will wait until the Gotei 13 of Soul Society is defeated before appearing.

This is actually quite easy to understand. The members of the Zero Division have a much higher status than those of the Thirteenth Division. The Gotei 13 protects the Seireitei, and the Seireitei naturally needs to protect the Soul King.

In other words, they are a line of defense protecting the Soul King. The Zero Division is mainly responsible for protecting the Soul King. If the crisis affects the Soul King's palace after the defeat of the Shinigami of Soul Society, they will naturally take action.

If the Soul King Palace is not affected, then they will be responsible for rebuilding the Gotei 13.

So even if the Gotei 13 is wiped out, they won't take immediate action; they can simply form another one later.

When Chojiro Sasakibe first heard this statement, he was utterly dumbfounded.

Now that the Zero Division has appeared, it reminds Chojiro of the slash Xu Yong made towards the sky earlier. Perhaps it was that slash that attracted the Zero Division members down.

However, he still found it hard to imagine, since there were seventy-two barriers between the Soul Society and the Soul King Palace, and only Wang Jian could open these barriers; otherwise, it would be impossible to open them by brute force alone.

It can only be said that Chojiro Sasaki is still too weak and simply cannot comprehend the power of Xu Yong's slash just now.

"Naturally, it's because we encountered a crisis. That slash just now was really dangerous. It cut right through seventy-two layers of barriers and flew up just past the edge of the Spirit King Palace."

"If it weren't for this subordinate showing mercy, perhaps..."

Having said that, Hyosube Ichibei said no more; some things are better left unsaid.

“This… How is this possible!?”

Upon hearing Hyosube Ichibei's admission, Chojiro Sasakibe felt his worldview shatter, and his gaze towards Xu Yong became filled with terror.

After all, Xu Yong's displayed power was simply too strong. He broke Ryujin Jakka with his bare hands, cleaved through seventy-two barriers in one move, and forced the Zero Division to the battlefield. Moreover, it seems that his own Captain-Commander is now under control.

It's hard to imagine that something like this could happen in such a short time.

"Zero... Zero Squad!"

Renji Abarai was also completely bewildered. He had naturally heard of the legend of the Zero Division, but since entering Seireitei, he had only heard of it and never seen it.

"Sir, could you please release this guy from his control first? We will give you a satisfactory answer regarding the rest."

Hyōsuke Ichibei pointed at the old man in the mountain and said.

"can."

Xu Yong nodded, raised his right hand and punched the air. The invisible force struck the old man, and the next second, the old man, who could only move his eyes, found that his body had recovered.

"Yamamoto, shut up. We'll take over this now."

Just as the old man was about to speak, Hyosube Ichibei's words silenced him.

Although the old man's expression was somewhat gloomy at this moment, there was nothing he could do, after all, this was the Zero Division.

Although the Soul King was ambushed by the ancestor of the Tsunayo family in ancient times, he was eventually made into the cornerstone of a stable world.

However, as time went by, the five noble families had long lost the deterrent power they had in ancient times, and Hyōjubu Ichibei was responsible for guarding the Spirit King.

Even though the Spirit King was just a prop, he still respected the Spirit King very much. Regardless of whether the Spirit King was a prop or not, the birth of the Three Realms was all because of the Spirit King.

As special beings from the same era, Hyosube Ichibei naturally held the other party in high esteem.

However, Hyosube Ichibei truly protects the Three Realms. He will protect the Spirit King and respect him, but if the Spirit King is killed, he will make another qualified being the new Spirit King.

Therefore, by this time, Seireitei was completely suppressed under the Soul King's Palace.

Their Zero Division's orders must be obeyed, even by the 46th Chamber, let alone Old Man Yama, since Old Man Yama also has to listen to the 46th Chamber.

So now, as soon as Hyosube Ichibei opened his mouth, the old man immediately shut up.

This greatly surprised Byakuya Kuchiki and the others. Although they knew that the Zero Division was above the Gotei 13, they did not expect that just one sentence from the Zero Division would shut up the powerful Captain-Commander.

Meanwhile, the other team leaders also arrived one after another.

"What exactly happened here? Are there enemies?"

Upon arriving at the scene, Soi Fon saw a group of Shinigami lying on the ground, along with unfamiliar members of the Zero Division and Xu Yong, and immediately drew her Zanpakuto.

"Don't be impulsive, Captain Soi Fon. Although we don't know what happened, those people are from the Zero Division."

Retsu Unohana, who had also arrived, saw this scene and immediately grabbed Soi Fon, who was about to step forward.

"Squad Zero?!"

Upon hearing this, not only Soi Fon showed a surprised expression, but also some other captains who rushed over, especially Aizen and others, were the most emotionally affected. Of course, Aizen hid his emotions very well.

Aizen, who arrived at this moment, was also somewhat bewildered, because the situation had completely spiraled out of his control.
