"I see. Then we can only wait."
The old man nodded, and then Unohana Retsu took Kenpachi Zaraki away. As for the remaining Shinigami who had fainted on the ground, Unohana Retsu and Kotetsu Isane checked them and found that they had only fainted and were not injured.
So just let them wake up naturally.
"Captain Ukitake!"
Just as the other captains were about to leave, Mayuri Kurotsuchi found Jushiro Ukitake.
After all, as he just said, the Soul King's right arm is inside Jushiro Ukitake's body. Although he doesn't know why the arm separated from the Soul King's body or why it entered Jushiro Ukitake's body, he knows that this thing is a very good experimental material.
"Captain Nie, if you don't want to see Yama's Ryujin Jakka fall on your head, you'd better not try anything with Ukitake."
Kyoraku Shunsui stood directly in front of Ukitake Jushiro. Everyone knew Mayuri Kurotsuchi's personality, so he knew exactly what this guy wanted to do: research the power of the Soul King. Wasn't that just courting death?
The Spirit King is their leader, the Grim Reaper. This guy actually wants to study his own leader. Isn't that just courting death?
Sure enough, Mayuri Kurotsuchi felt the death stare from the old man, who was in a very bad mood.
After all, he couldn't afford to offend Xu Yonghe and Hyosugi Ichibei, but he could easily handle Kurotsuchi Mayuri.
"If that's the case, then forget it!"
After feeling the death stare from the old man, Mayuri Kurotsuchi gave up. There was no way around it; the pressure from the old man, the Captain-Commander, was immense.
After all, the old man was someone who could instill fear in even the fearless Kenpachi Zaraki.
It's only because Old Man Shan's temper has been tempered over the past thousand years; otherwise, a thousand years ago, Old Man Shan would have been a true killing maniac.
The first captains of the Gotei 13 were all bloodthirsty monsters; the original Gotei 13 was positioned as an assassin organization.
The captains and vice-captains are now in a hurry to go back and inform their team members, telling them not to provoke Xu Yong and his group, otherwise who knows what kind of big trouble might happen.
As for the nobles, they don't need a warning; the Zero Squad will handle that.
Chapter 109 Attacking the Unseen Empire: The Quincy Who Offered No Resistance
The defeat of the Captain-Commander and the arrival of the Zero Division were not announced to the public. As for the commotion in the First Division, it was simply covered up by the betrayal of Aizen, Kaname Tōsen, and Gin Ichimaru.
Gin Ichimaru is the only one of the three traitors to survive, but he is now imprisoned in the Maggot Nest. Although he can come out again, he will have to stay there for at least a while.
The news of the two captains' betrayal and execution spread throughout the Soul Society. As for the 46 Chambers, no one dared to spread such rumors, although the new 46 Chambers were still being formed.
This time, all the noble families will have to defer to the Kuchiki family, so it's no surprise that the Kuchiki family will become the sole power in the 46 Chambers, and the Kuchiki family members will definitely listen to Kuchiki Byakuya and Kuchiki Rukia.
Rukia Kuchiki now effectively controls the highest authority in Soul Society. Of course, whether she controls the 46 Chambers or not is not important. Rukia Kuchiki is not interested in these things, as long as she doesn't provoke them.
The truth about the captains' collective defection back then has been clarified, so the old man naturally stopped issuing arrest warrants for Urahara Kisuke and the others. He's not stupid; in that situation, if Urahara Kisuke and the others had remained in Soul Society, they would have certainly lost their lives.
The only chance of survival was to run away, which would still break the rules of Seireitei, but who could be blamed? Only Aizen.
Furthermore, with three captain positions currently vacant, the only way to fill those positions quickly is to bring back the former captains.
As for Rukia Kuchiki, he wouldn't dare to make her captain. Her status is too high now; how could she possibly be a captain under him?
News from Soul Society quickly reached the human world, and the expressions of Kisuke Urahara and the others upon hearing it were quite interesting.
"So... Aizen is gone just like that?"
Kisuke Urahara still felt it was somewhat unreal, after all, they had been opponents of Aizen, an opponent who was not only terrifyingly strong, but also possessed incredibly troublesome Zanpakuto abilities and a sharp mind.
So now that he knows Aizen and Tosen Kaname have been executed and Gin Ichimaru has been imprisoned in the Maggot Nest, he still feels it's all a bit unreal.
However, this news came from the Shihōin clan, and as one of the largest noble families, the information they obtained was likely accurate.
Although the specific details are unknown, the Shihouin clan has confirmed that the Zero Division has arrived in Seireitei.
Although he didn't know much about the Zero Division's combat strength and abilities, Kisuke Urahara (947) knew one thing: the Zero Division's overall combat strength surpassed that of Soul Society.
This isn't bragging, it's true. The two most crucial figures are Shura-do Senju-maru and Hyosube Ichibei.
These two individuals possess different abilities: one's Bankai is powerful enough to shake the three realms, and the other's Zanpakuto can directly render the opponent's Zanpakuto powerless.
If Yhwach hadn't been so overpowered, the Zero Division wouldn't have been defeated.
"Anyway, that's what I heard from the Shihōin clan. Furthermore, the Zero Division has ordered all nobles not to provoke Xu Yong and the others."
Yoruichi Shihōin spoke up, saying that they didn't know who Xu Yong was at first, but the Shihōin clan quickly found out some information, and now Kisuke Urahara and the others also had a certain understanding of Xu Yong and others.
In short, they were powerful figures who appeared out of nowhere, and it was because of them that the Zero Division was brought down and Aizen was dealt with.
"No one would dare to provoke them, after all, even the Forty-Six Chambers and the Tsunayo clan were wiped out because of a single sentence from them!"
Even Kisuke Urahara felt a chill run down his spine. The Tsunayoshiro clan was a top-tier noble family, on par with the Shihouin clan. Such a super noble family had been wiped out just like that.
Moreover, the 46 Chambers were the highest authority in Soul Society, and what happened? They were wiped out because of a single sentence.
Under such circumstances, anyone who dares to provoke Xu Yong and his gang is probably asking for trouble.
"Let's ignore these people for now. What should we do next? The Soul Society has dropped the charges against us."
Yoruichi Shihouin asked, though she didn't really want to go back. After all, the Shihouin clan was a super noble family, and there were bound to be many rules. With her personality, she simply didn't want to go back.
"I can go back, but I'd rather not rejoin Seireitei. Oh, by the way, we haven't heard from the Visoreds yet!"
Kisuke Urahara suddenly spoke up, saying that he didn't plan to go back. In any case, he could still carry out his research in the human world. He had gone back to avoid Aizen before, but now he was quite comfortable in the human world.
Why go back to being the team leader? Although being the team leader does indeed come with a high status, it also comes with a lot of restrictions.
"I don't want to go back either."
Woling Tiezhai nodded as well. He was too lazy to go back, and staying in the mortal world was indeed quite nice.
The group then relayed the news to Hirako Shinji and the others, a message that left them somewhat helpless.
"Aizen has been killed. It looks like I won't be able to avenge him myself!"
Hirako Shinji's words sounded somewhat helpless, but he was actually somewhat relieved. Even though they had already learned Hollowfication, they still didn't want to confront Aizen.
After all, there's no solution to the Kyoka Suigetsu problem yet. Going against Aizen at this point would just be suicide. It would be funny if it turned out to be an internal brawl.
They're not like Hinamori Momo, the number one tank in Soul Society; they can't withstand this kind of gang attack.
However, the Visoreds were divided into two factions. One faction wanted to go back, since they had many acquaintances in Soul Society, which was also their hometown. If they were not forced to, few people would think of leaving their hometown.
Another group consists of people who are unattached, like Hiyori Sarutobi. Her only attachment is Kiryu Hikifune, but since Kiryu Hikifune was promoted to Squad Zero, she has no attachments anymore.
With no ties to her, why should she return to Soul Society and be subject to the control of others?
Thus, the Visoreds split into two factions: one chose to return to Soul Society, and the other chose to remain in the human world, much like in the original story.
At this time, Xu Yong and the others were touring Soul Society under the guidance of the Kuchiki family.
Besides the Seireitei, there are also the Rukongai districts with earlier numbers; as for the districts with later numbers, there's no need to go there.
Xu Yong was also very clear about what the later-numbered blocks of Rukongai were like; they were filled with chaos.
Even Rukia Kuchiki was unwilling to go back and see, since they became Shinigami to escape such a harsh environment.
"These nobles really go to great lengths to build connections. Since they can't get close to us, they simply start with the Kuchiki family."
After a few days, everyone found the situation at the Kuchiki family rather amusing.
After Hyōsuke Ichibei issued the order, and the nobles learned that the Tsunayoshiro clan and the Forty-Six Chambers were destroyed because of Xu Yong, they began to try to get close to Xu Yong and the others.
Of course, they came with good intentions. No one dares to show malice towards Xu Yong and the others now, otherwise they wouldn't even know how they died.
However, seeing Xu Yong and the others was not so easy, and they dared not disturb them rashly, otherwise they would not be able to bear the responsibility if they angered Xu Yong and the others.
Ultimately, these people had no choice but to start with the Kuchiki family, so in the past few days, the number of people visiting their door almost wore down the threshold of the Kuchiki family.
As for the various gifts, they filled the courtyards, which left Kuchiki Byakuya completely bewildered. After all, he was the head of the Kuchiki family.
Therefore, he was naturally responsible for receiving these visitors.
Although he usually does this kind of thing, the place had received so many people at once, and these guys kept surging towards him like a queue, which completely overwhelmed him.
However, the necessary procedures still had to be followed, and he was very concerned about the image of the Kuchiki family, so he naturally wouldn't allow his actions to bring shame upon them.
"Big brother is really having a tough time. We've pretty much seen everything in Soul Society. Shall we head back?"
Kuchiki Rukia asked.
"Before we go back, let's do one more thing: eliminate all the hidden dangers in one go."
As he spoke, Xu Yong opened a spatial gate. Hearing Xu Yong's words, everyone was a little confused, wondering what other hidden dangers might exist. Wasn't Aizen, who was hiding in the shadows, already killed?
However, they were also very clear that Xu Yong would not talk nonsense, so there must be other enemies. The group followed Xu Yong into the spatial gate.
"here it is?"
After passing through the portal, the group found themselves in a very peculiar space.
"This is the shadow of the Seireitei. There is an enemy that has been hiding in the shadow of Soul Society. These guys have been monitoring Soul Society. If we take them out, the threat will naturally be eliminated."
Xu Yong spoke up, saying that Aizen had already tragically withdrawn prematurely, and now it was naturally Yhwach's turn. Although Yhwach's power had not yet fully recovered, Xu Yong would not wait until he was fully recovered before causing trouble.
"In the shadows of Seireitei? How is it possible that an enemy has been hiding in the shadows of Seireitei all along!"
Upon hearing this, Rukia Kuchiki's eyes widened. After all, the Seireitei was the stronghold of the Shinigami (death gods), and the thought of the enemy infiltrating her stronghold for who knows how long was terrifying.
"These guys are just as strong as, if not stronger than, the captains of Soul Society. However, they seem to be restricted in some way and cannot leave this space at will. Otherwise, with their abilities, everyone except your Captain-Commander would be wiped out."
Xu Yong said that although hiding in the shadows is indeed quite powerful, it doesn't mean you can just go out whenever you want.
In the original work, Yhwach and his group did the same thing when they first attacked Soul Society. They could have taken over Soul Society in one fell swoop, but their limited time outside the Shadow Realm forced them to return to the Wandenreich.
This gave the Grim Reapers a chance to catch their breath.
This is what they call "you can't have everything." After all, it had been hidden in Seireitei for so many years without being discovered, so there must have been a price to pay.
In the world of Bleach, high-level combat power is far more important than sheer numbers.
If the two sides really fight, the old man of the mountain can kill everyone in the Unknown Empire except Yhwach by himself, and Yhwach can do the same thing.
"These guys' spiritual pressure is indeed very strong."
After listening, Rukia Kuchiki's expression turned serious. She probed the spiritual pressure within the Wandenreich and discovered that the enemies there were indeed very strong.
"Who are you!"
Xu Yong and his group were talking so openly here. Although the other party couldn't detect their presence, they were still several living people standing there, and the other party wasn't blind, so they could naturally see them.
The Quincy were startled upon discovering the intruders. The Wandenreich's territory was not large, and after receiving the warning, the members of the Sternritter rushed to the scene.
"Mr. Xu Yong, shall we take action now?"
Mirajane looked at the group of people who had surrounded them and asked a question.
"I won't do it myself this time; you can handle it."
Xu Yong was too lazy to lift a finger and handed the job over to a few girls. These guys had no chance against the girls.
Even the Royal Guard, which was later strengthened by Saint Bernard, couldn't do it, nor could Yhwach at his peak, let alone the current group.
The battle was about to break out, and it was a one-sided battle.
The group had become accustomed to the combat style of Toriko's world, where attacks were swift and decisive, giving the Quincy no chance to retaliate.
"No, these guys are too strong. I'll use up my Holy Body right away!"
After realizing that they had been completely overwhelmed, the remaining people were also quite frightened and immediately used their Perfect Holy Body.
"These guys' strength... It's a good thing they didn't escape to the Soul Society. They even have a technique similar to Bankai!"
Seeing the Quincy unleash their Perfected forms and their spiritual pressure surge once more, Rukia Kuchiki could imagine what would happen if these guys appeared in Seireitei.
They outnumber the captains and are stronger than the captains; if a fight breaks out, the probability of the Seireitei being defeated is too high.
Therefore, Rukia Kuchiki was thinking of killing all of these people here so that they wouldn't be allowed to go out and wreak havoc on Soul Society.
Although they had used their Holy Body and their strength had increased by more than one level, the members of the Sternritter quickly discovered that they were still no match for them and would be instantly killed as before.
After the Holy Body was activated, it was as if it hadn't been activated at all.
At the same time, due to the massive fluctuations in spiritual pressure, the Shadow Domain could no longer suppress the spiritual pressure of this group of people, and the spiritual pressure began to spread outwards.
The 12th Division detected the unusual spiritual pressure and immediately issued an alarm, as the spiritual pressure was simply too immense.
Mayuri Kurotsuchi was naturally alerted immediately, but she quickly noticed that the spiritual pressure was rapidly diminishing.
Chapter 110 Traveling Through the Three Realms, the Tragic Hueco Mundo
"What on earth is going on? Where did all this spiritual pressure come from? Such a massive amount of spiritual pressure, even if a group of captains used Bankai together, it wouldn't be this exaggerated. But now it's weakening, or rather, it's disappearing in waves."
