Chapter 540 Return to Soul Society!

It has been more than a thousand years since Captain Yamamoto subdued the 12 great villains of Rukongai and established the Gotei 13 to defeat the Quincy headed by Yhwach.

For a mortal, a long time, compared to the existence of Soul Society, is a blink of an eye.

Regardless of whether it was before or after the establishment of the Seireitei, Soul Society has always been ruled by a group of nobles headed by the original five and the current four nobles. If it were not for the terrifying strength of the captain, the Gotei Thirteen would only be them. Knife in hand.

Even now, the aristocratic group has countless privileges. A lower-level noble has the opportunity to torture multiple souls to death and escape from trial, not to mention the various things at the upper level, such as the Golden Seal Noble Council and the 46th House of Mao. An organization that exists to protect the rights and interests of nobles.

However, when the head of the Kuchiki clan, one of the four great nobles, is willing to ask for a fair verdict, they can of course make a 'just' verdict.

Seireitei, the Palace of Confession.

"Fifty years in the black rope prison on the second floor of the Zhenyang Underground Prison, and 100 years in the waiting prison on the first floor. Is this a total sentence of 150 years?"

Sitting in the prison, Kuchiki Rukia lowered her head and repeated the verdict, thinking to herself that it was really a long time, longer than my age. When I get out of the prison, how much familiarity will be left? All of my friends in this world must be dead, right?

But...she raised her head and said, "I thought the death penalty was waiting for me, brother."

Different from the original timeline, Mao's 46th chamber without Aizen's control is indeed 'just'.

So Renji Abarai smiled slightly and comforted Rukia: "The 100-year prison sentence is basically like normal except that you can't leave the prison. Captain Byakuya and I will visit often. your.

The first 50 years in a black rope prison may be a little tougher, but we are all reapers, and 50 years... is not, well, nothing. If you perform well, the captain and I will help you work hard outside. Maybe it won't be long before this time will be reduced to 10 years or 5 years..."

"No, Brother Byakuya must be very disappointed because he has tarnished Kuchiki's name and was not executed." Rukia interrupted.

Byakuya had a cold face and ignored the anxious Renji, only saying: "You will be transferred there in three days, and we should not see each other again for 150 years."

"……team leader!"

Rukia laughed at herself: "Ah, I understand. Can I ask one last question, Brother Byakuya, how are those Fullbringers? Sadatari-san and Inoue-san..."

"Their trial is not over yet. We must first confirm the movements of the master of the art, Hirakawa Kouki."

Byakuya simply replied, and then said: "Rukia, recount to me the entire process of your contact with Hirakawa Kouki, don't miss any details."

Lucia was startled. Renji had recounted to her what happened after that night. It really shocked her that Kouki Hirakawa was so powerful. Sure enough, even Brother Byakuya cared about it... ..."That guy..."

From the time I checked into the Shishi Hotel, to the first time I was attacked by a perfectionist.

"If he hadn't told me that there was turmoil within the Fullbringers, I would have surrendered to Vice-Captain Hiyori that night. Of course, it would have been the same as now...

The impression he made on me that night was...very wicked and mysterious. The coldness at the moment he swung the knife made me think I was really going to die, but then he smiled playfully and made me call him 'grandfather' and beg for mercy. It also made people feel that he was nothing. Bad guy, I can’t tell you the specific situation, in short, he’s quite a strange person…”

Buzz——!

At this moment, a spiritual pressure like the sky falling came down, causing Rukia, whose spiritual pressure had not yet recovered, to freeze, showing a slight look of pain.

What's wrong, Brother Byakuya? !

"Captain..." Renji was also shocked. He didn't know why the captain suddenly burst out with all his spiritual pressure. When he looked at Byakuya's expression, his heart was shocked again, this?

Rukia was also shocked at the same time.

They have never seen such complex expressions on the cold Byakuya's face. They are contradictory but easy to understand. They include surprise, anger, disbelief, joy, murderous repulsion, etc. The expression management is completely out of control!

It's like an aloof cat whose fur was suddenly stroked by someone else? Such disrespectful thoughts flashed through Lucia's mind, and she felt a little happy for some reason. In addition to being indifferent and disgusting with me, my eldest brother seems to have a side that I don't understand?

But...what happened? !

Did I say something wrong? !

After a long time, Byakuya's spiritual pressure slowly calmed down. Without a word of explanation, he seemed to be the cold noble man again. He turned around and left the Confession Palace directly, ignoring Rukia, and even looked at Renji to let him know. Don't follow.

All the way back to the Kuchiki tribe, he changed into indoor clothes and went alone to the cherry blossom tree in the backyard of the Kuchiki family. He held a practice wooden sword and did the basic exercises one by one to calm down his mood.

"Is that so? Is that so?"

"No...impossible. How is it possible that someone can really come back from hell?"

"But...Yono Mashi..."

Long-lasting memories played in his mind, and Byakuya's wooden sword swings gradually became more powerful.

…

Time flies, and ten days pass in a blink of an eye.

June 29, morning, Karakura Town.

In a small restaurant, Miyuki Komatoyo pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Didn't you see Brother Mizoliu looked like he was dreaming, hahaha..."

Ji Xing, who was opposite him, smiled: "I can probably imagine that you have doubts about life, right?"

It was just because of the death of Tsukishima Hidekuro that he went on a trip to escape the limelight. After he came back, he was not only destroyed near the izakaya for the reason that ordinary people thought he was "smashed by a meteorite".

Even the Perfectionist Organization is gone!

"I didn't tell him about you. He wanted to see you, but I used the excuse of you going out to avoid the limelight." Miyuki Komayo smiled and said, "In what capacity are you going to meet him again?"

"Of course it's Hirakawa Kouki's identity." Ji Xing said with a smile: "Later, wait until I come back from Soul Society. In addition, it seems that sister Miyuki, you are in good condition. It's very good. Hurry up and find a suitable person." Fall in love, get married, and start a new life.”

"Although I know your real age, your elder tone is really unaccustomed to you. You are obviously a minor who can't even drink." Miyuki Komatoyo said, "But it's time to turn on the A new life, until then...

Gongshu, you can also take away different types of perfection techniques, right? Take away my ability and let me say goodbye to the past once and for all. It should be a bit dangerous for you to go to Soul Society. Taking away my power is a small way for me to repay you. "

Ji Xing was startled and said: "That's not necessary, Sister Miyuki. Retaining the Perfection Technique is also a means of self-defense. If you encounter someone with ill intentions, or even a Hollow, you must have the ability to resist. It’s fine if you don’t use it normally. To be honest, I don’t lack your strength.”

Komayo Miyuki smiled lightly: "Since you want to live an ordinary life, live it thoroughly. No matter how unfortunate you are to meet a bad person or a Hollow, death is also a part of life. I have been thinking about it for ten days. This is my final decision. decision.

In addition, I may go to live in another city in a few days. The specific location... I haven't decided yet. I will give you a call then, Gongshu. "

Ji Xing was silent for a few seconds.

Say goodbye to the past completely? Although we can talk on the phone, there are probably not many opportunities to see each other again. Even if we say goodbye today, we will never see each other again.

He shook his head and smiled, extending his hand to Komayo Miyuki: "I wish you happiness, Sister Miyuki."

"Hmm, this sentence seems weird?" Komayo Miyuki smiled and said, "I'd like to lend you some good words."

A few minutes later, the two said goodbye to each other, and Ji Xing, who had another fragment of the Soul King's internal organs in his body, returned to the Urahara store and came to the underground space.

Ichigo's spiritual pressure, which had climbed to nearly captain level, was active and dazzling. He was chasing Urahara Kisuke with a knife in both hands. When he noticed Ji Xing's arrival, he withdrew his sword and turned to Ji Xing's direction.

Rich spiritual pressure wraps around the Zanpakutō, and the spiritual beings in the air quickly gather to strike!

"Crescent Moon Clashes!!"

With a familiar roar, the spiritual pressure on his Zanpakuto instantly turned into a substantial blade, like a wisp of light blue crescent moon, splitting the ground and rushing towards Ji Xing!

Ji Xing swings backhand.

Snapped--!

If the crescent moon, which can split everything, turned into spirits and flew away under Ji Xing's heavy blows, he said hello: "So enthusiastic? Are you in a hurry?"

"No, it's okay." Kurosaki Ichigo gasped: "But I'm still far from you."

Of course, although you are cheating, I am also cheating. It is also a 12-day practice. Why do you make more progress than me? Ji Xing walked over.

Urahara Kisuke inserted the knife back, took out his small fan and shook it: "Since Yono-san has returned, I will start preparing... to send you to Soul Society!"

Ichigo was full of energy: "Oh!"

…

Soul Society, Division 4 team building.

"so amazing……"

"Yeah, although it's not the first time I've seen it, this kind of treatment effect is a bit exaggerated."

"The reply is completely incomparable. Even the captain cannot heal such a big wound so quickly. The full manifestation technique is too illegal."

"It's really amazing, Orihime!"

The girl with long orange-red hair, gray-blue eyes, and plump breasts smiled shyly. Although it was not the first time she received compliments from the friendly members of the Fourth Division, she still felt a little embarrassed.

Do you seem to be used to playing around with everyone and treating injuries together?

Her eyes wandered to the window, and a hint of loneliness flashed in the girl's eyes, and she didn't know... how was Sadatari-san.

And... Ichigo-san.

Is this going to continue in the future?

…

Second Division, temporary prison.

"Asshole! How long are we going to be locked up?! Hey, that kid over there!"

"Come here! Call your vice-captain, that little guy, over here. I want to challenge her to a duel! Get her here quickly!"

Listening to the daily noises of the inmates, Chado sat in a corner of the prison without saying a word all day long.

…

Black rope prison.

Rukia has spent a week with her hands and feet bound by special ropes, unable to move freely.

"It's still very difficult."

After moving her body with difficulty, Rukia looked at the unchanged things in front of her in silence.

"50 years..."

…

The fifth division team building.

"Practice your sword like crazy, as if you were stimulated by the trip to this world?" Makoto Hirako raised an eyebrow in wonder when he learned about Byakuya's recent situation.

Speaking of which, the recent movements of some nobles seem a bit strange. It seems that the appearance of the young genius Hirakawa Kouki has reminded them of the strongest genius after decades, and reminded them of Yono Masashi's declaration of return.

"Little Aizen... you can't, right?"

Could Hiyori be that stupid?

After thinking for a moment, he sighed.

It's really hard to say, but having been in such close contact, I didn't feel the familiar spiritual pressure, nor did I recognize the familiar movements and demeanor. It shouldn't be the case. The guys who were frightened by him over the years have overreacted more than once. .

Well, let’s talk to the leader of the Beijing Band later and order a drink from him.

…

Hueco Mundo, Xuye Palace, Aizen sits high on the throne, and Hasward, who represents Yhwach next to him, stands in front of the flush throne.

In front of them, figures emitting astonishing fluctuations in spiritual pressure stood in line. Most of them had their heads lowered, waiting for instructions. There were also a few Quincy who looked directly at Aizen 'rebelliously'.

Aizen didn't care, he smiled and spread his arms forward in a hug.

"Everyone, there are only two days left before the fall of Soul Society. Are you ready to rule the world and create a new world?"

…

"Ah ah ah ah ah--"

In the broken world that connects the real world and the Soul Society, Ichigo screamed and ran wildly, and said to the two people leading the way: "Why didn't you remind me that there is such a thing in this broken world?!"

In front of them, Yoruichi and Ji Xing led the way with light movements. No matter how hard Ichigo chased, he couldn't catch up.

Even just chasing the spiritual path they paved is already very difficult.

"It's been too long since I've walked across the border. I forgot."

"Hahaha, me too."

The two people's responses left Ichigo speechless. He glanced back and glanced at the strange one-eyed creature that looked like a locomotive coming out of the tunnel. It was getting closer and closer. He quickly gritted his teeth and increased his speed.

That's called Jutu, and it's a life that only exists in the broken world. The cleaners of the broken world will devour all humans who want to stay in the broken world for a long time, where the flow of time is different from the ordinary.

Even an ordinary captain-level god of death cannot compete with it. Of course, the more important thing is to destroy it, which is prone to unpredictable changes.

"It's not a god of death, it's not a void, and it's not an ordinary life form." Looking back at Jutu, Ji Xing's eyes flashed with thoughts. Last time, he didn't pay much attention to this 'creature' that the god of death was accustomed to. This time...

The smell of hell?

Hell is always around.

When he looked back, the light in front of him was already bright, and soon, a group of three people broke through the light and came to a new space!

The broken portal slowly closed.

There was no confusion among the three people who landed in the air. Yoruichi was agile and transformed into a black cat. He kicked his legs and landed on Ji Xing's shoulders, while Ji Xing and Ichigo adjusted their bodies and landed lightly.

"This guy Urahara's positioning is always so unreliable." Yoruichi changed into a male voice: "I'll just use the cat form first, otherwise it will be too eye-catching and cause unnecessary trouble to you Yono."

"It's already very good." Ji Xing said: "After all, it is a private passage, not a 'Ting Road'."

He looked around and saw nothing but trees. The three of them seemed to have landed on a mountain in Rukongai.

But Ji Xing quickly figured out the direction.

"Where...is this?" Ichigo asked.

"The third district of West Rukongai, Lifushan."

Ji Xing replied that this was the area assigned to Ji Xing after entering Soul Society a hundred years ago. It was the uninhabited mountain where he and Shiba Haiyan once 'flyed kites'!

After a hundred years, Ji Xing once again returned to Soul Society using the Third West District as the starting point!

4k2 for a day to sort out my thoughts.
