Chapter 272 The Spirit King's Invitation
"You first had a fight with Kirinji Tenshiro and beat him with one punch until he couldn't get up again?"
"Hmm!"
"You then tortured Shutara Senjumaru and avenged your previous grudge."
"That's right!"
"Then you defeated Hyoshubu Ichibei in a one-on-one fight."
"That's right!"
Yamamoto held the tea cup and listened to Ru Yueming's narration expressionlessly, and asked a few more details.
Then the teahouse fell into a deathly silence.
After a long time, Yamamoto drank up the tea, slowly put down the cup, took a deep breath, and stared at Ru Yueming in front of him with a pair of old eyes.
As if he had noticed something, his pride instantly turned into alertness.
"Damn it, when will you let me be more careful?!"
The deafening roar instantly spread throughout the team house, and the terrifying spiritual pressure was like a tsunami, directly sweeping across most of the Soul Society.
Cangtun, who was eating melon, almost choked on the melon in his mouth. He looked at the Sparrow Chojiro next to him with horror and asked stutteringly:
"Sparrow, Sparrow-sama, have Lord Yamamoto and the king fallen out?"
Sponge Chojiro was still calm and said calmly:
"Don't panic, it's just routine operation."
"You'll get used to it."
"If one day I see Lord Yamamoto being friendly to Captain Kisaragi, that would be the end of the world."
Cangtun nodded in confusion.
Although he didn't quite understand what it meant, it sounded very reasonable.
It's worthy of being the Soul Society where wise men are everywhere. Anyone can say such philosophical words.
Speaking of which, the king can be the first in this Soul Society. How amazing wisdom would he have?
Thinking of this, Cangtun's big face showed yearning.
"Idiot!"
"Do you think everyone is me?"
Yamamoto scolded, "If he treats you well for no reason, he must have some ulterior motive."
"That Hyoshubu Ichibei is the leader of the Zero Squad, born in the original world a million years ago, and existed at the same time as the Soul King and the five noble ancestors."
"Such a person has long lost all emotions, that is, the so-called human nature!"
"Everything he does is for a purpose!"
"Now you have no achievements in creating basic things, but you are selected to become a member of the Zero Squad. It is hard to say whether it is a blessing or a curse."
A thoughtful look appeared on Ru Yueming's face.
Yamamoto ignored the evil disciple who tried to think, and continued:
"As for what you said about being selected based on combat power, in my opinion, it's just an excuse."
"Two thousand years ago, I was already invincible in Soul Society, and a thousand years ago I almost killed the great enemy of the God of Death, Yhwach. Why didn't the Zero Division invite me to join?"
"Maybe because you are not strong enough?"
Yamamoto was furious, and directly picked up the Ryujin Jakka that had turned into a crutch and hit Ru Yueming's head fiercely.
"Asshole, don't interrupt me when I'm talking!"
The loud sound of metal collision burst out in the tea room, the ground shook, and a huge deep pit appeared immediately, and Ru Yueming had disappeared without a trace.
Not long after, Ru Yueming climbed out of the pit, shook his dizzy head, and recovered in the blink of an eye.
Such defense and recovery ability, even Yamamoto was a little jealous.
This evil disciple is getting more and more outrageous.
Thinking of the battle when he helped Ru Yueming master the hollow transformation, Yamamoto no longer had any doubts about what he said before.
He passed all the members of the Zero Division within three days and successfully became one of them.
Yamamoto suddenly thought of something and asked again:
"By the way, you said just now that the reason why Nimaiya Wang Yue had a conflict with you was because he was jealous of the deep friendship between you and your Zanpakuto?"
Ru Yueming nodded.
Hearing this, Yamamoto immediately sneered.
This stupid disciple, I don't know how to make up a good reason. With the way you treat your Zanpakuto, the first thing you do after Wujie materializes is definitely to kill you.
This kid is good in everything and learns everything quickly.
He has mastered all the essential skills of Yuanliu, but he has not learned even a little bit of his own way of treating Zanpakuto.
Thinking of this, Yamamoto glared at Ruyueming angrily and said:
"Did you come back this time just to show off to me?"
Ruyueming shook his head and denied it:
"Am I that kind of superficial person?"
Yamamoto stared at him without saying anything.
"As the saying goes, when one person succeeds, everyone else will succeed."
Ruyueming grinned and explained, "I came back this time mainly to bring a few people up to expand my horizons, see the Spirit King Palace, and help me build the Zero Ban Li Palace."
Yamamoto raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
So this kid came down to find help.
Not too stupid, there is still hope.
At least he knows his shortcomings, and bringing two trustworthy people up can help him analyze the situation, at least he won't foolishly jump into the pit dug by others.
"Is the teacher going?"
Ruyueming asked.
Yamamoto slowly said, "I won't go. Yhwach has already woken up from his deep sleep, and Soul Society is in danger."
"Once the Invisible Empire starts a war..."
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Ru Yueming:
"Teacher, you think too much. If I don't go back, the Invisible Empire will not start a war."
Yamamoto: “?”
When he thought that this bastard disciple might follow Yhwach to attack Soul Society in the future, he couldn’t hold back.
“Damn disciple, I will clean up the mess today!”
“Everything in the universe will be reduced to ashes!”
The deafening roar spread throughout the First Division’s barracks again.
…………
“Kisuke, how did you know I was back?”
Looking at the sumptuous feast prepared, Kisuke was overjoyed.
He sat down without hesitation and took the grilled fish and ate it.
Urahara Kisuke grinned. Looking at the Soul Society, only his captain could still have such a good appetite after being beaten by Captain-General Yamamoto.
If it were someone else, he would have been sent to the Fourth Division for emergency treatment on the spot, or his soul would have returned to the mountains and rivers of Soul Society.
Although I don’t know why Kisuke came back from the Soul King Palace so early, judging from his mental state, he should be fine.
He opened his mouth, wanting to ask what happened in the Soul King Palace, and why Captain-General Yamamoto was so angry again.
But when he saw the food on the table decreasing at a visible speed, Urahara Kisuke put away his thoughts in this regard.
Now that things have come to this, let's eat first.
After a feast, Kisaragi Akira was full of food and wine, and lazily collapsed on the sofa, like a useless person.
Aizen came back from outside at the right time, and saw two salted fish with no fighting spirit as soon as he entered the door.
Kisaragi Akira smiled and greeted him, and Aizen nodded:
"You are back from the Soul King Palace?"
"How do you know that I can pass through the Zero Division?"
Aizen: "..."
No, who asked you this?
And what does it mean to pass through the Zero Division quickly?
Will this guy have a conflict with the members of the Zero Division?
Considering Kisaragi Akira's personality, it seems that this is really possible.
When he thought of the relevant information about the members of the Zero Division that he saw in the Great Spirit Book Corridor, Aizen had a bad premonition.
Akira Kisaragi picked his teeth and proudly described in detail what happened in the Soul King Palace, not even skipping the conversation with the monk.
Of course, the battle with Senjumaru was just mentioned.
In the room, the expressions of the two kept changing, from surprise to shock, and then to numbness.
Urahara Kisuke's mouth twitched, and he had a new understanding of Akira Kisaragi's ability to cause trouble.
From Soul Society to Hueco Mundo, from Hell to Shadow Realm, perhaps only the present world has not been ruined by this guy?
No!
Urahara Kisuke suddenly thought of those Fullbringers who had been stripped of Soul King fragments, and immediately let out a long sigh.
Sure enough, there is no pure land in this world anymore.
Aizen was also a little silent.
Although he had tried his best to think positively, he still didn't expect Akira Kisaragi to clash with the Zero Squad in the Soul King Palace.
What's even more outrageous is that this guy not only escaped unscathed, but also became a member of the Zero Squad.
The most exaggerated thing is that in order to make Kisaragi Akira feel at ease, Hyoshubu Ichibei even proposed the condition that he could not guard the Soul King Palace.
Is this guy really not the illegitimate son of the Soul King?
When thinking about the attitude of the Soul King's right-hand man towards Kisaragi Akira, Aizen's expression was inevitably a little complicated.
"By the way, Sosuke."
Kisaragi Akira looked up and interrupted his thoughts. Aizen lowered his head and looked at Kisaragi Akira in confusion.
This guy grinned:
"Do you want to go to the Soul King Palace to take a look?"
Aizen: "?"
…………
The 11th Division, Chugi Hall.
Kisaragi Akira was telling about his experience in the Zero Division with great enthusiasm, as if he was showing off.
"Ichibei, the old monster who named the law and dominated the three realms for millions of years and was the same generation as the Soul King, was still defeated by the iron fist of this captain."
"Nimeiwu Wangyue knows that your Zanpakuto was forged by him, and he is known as the God of Swords!"
"But he still couldn't beat the deep friendship between me and Wujie, and was defeated by our one-man-one-sword team!"
"In less than two days, this captain has achieved the achievement of speed-passing the Zero Division!"
"Don't you have anything to say about this situation?"
The team members' faces were red, as if they had seen the scene of their captain killing people in the Soul King Palace, and they shouted excitedly.
"Captain is strong!"
"Lord Palace Master, we respect you!"
"Captain, when will you lead us to the Soul King Palace and seize that guy's throne!"
Kiyuzui Akira: "?"
In the crowd, Urahara Kisuke lowered his head silently, hiding his merits and fame.
Being led astray by someone, the soldiers made rebellious remarks, saying that they could fight for the captain.
Hearing this, Kisaragi touched his chin, thinking.
Speaking of which, the Tenju chariot should be able to fit a lot of people at a time, right?
Shiba family, cannon launch platform.
Looking at the familiar faces coming and going, Urahara Kisuke's mouth twitched.
He just said something mean, who would have thought that Kisaragi would actually put this idea into action.
If it weren't for the fact that the Tenju chariot might not be able to fit so many people, this guy might have packed up the entire 11th Division and taken it away.
"Captain, is the Zero Division strong?"
Zaraki asked Kisaragi with a serrated long sword.
"Not just ordinary strong."
Kenpachi Zaraki, who got a satisfactory answer, immediately showed a ferocious smile.
Others had different expressions, but most of their eyes were focused on Kisaragi.
Ever since they heard that Akira Kisaragi was planning to take someone to the Spirit King's Palace, Komamura and the others immediately signed up.
The Spirit King's Palace is not important, what is important is being able to follow the captain.
Not long after, the debugging of the Huahe cannon was completed.
More than a dozen figures entered the Tianzhu chariot, and the Zhibo family spent a lot of effort loading them into the cannon.
With a roar, the Tianzhu chariot took off again.
…………
Spirit King Palace, Omotesando.
Seeing the figures coming out of the Tianzhu chariot, the Ichibōwei of the Bingzhubu slightly opened his eyes.
"Jie hahaha, monk, I'm back again!"
Ru Yueming walked out of the crowd and greeted the monk very familiarly.
Others are adapting to the environment of the Spirit King Palace.
Unlike Soul Society, the atmosphere of Soul King Palace has a very high density of spirit particles, and a deputy-captain-level Shinigami will be overwhelmed when he first comes here.
It was precisely with this in mind that Kisaragi Ming raised the standards for selection.
The Shinigami who can come with him all have captain-level potential.
For example, Aizen, Kisuke Urahara, Kenpachi Zaraki, Zuozhen Komamura, Kaname Tosen, Gin Ichimaru, Rangiku Matsumoto, etc.
Everyone behaved differently, but they were all free to move around.
The monk was stunned for a moment, then smiled heartily. Although this scene was a bit unexpected, it had already broken Team Zero's rules for Akira Kisaragi, and it didn't matter if he broke it again.
This kind of thing happens over and over again and you get used to it.
"Ha, welcome."
"You should be the first batch of ordinary Shinigami to come to the Soul King's Palace. How about it? It's spectacular, isn't it?"
The monk's kind attitude won the favor of everyone.
"Qilin Temple, I'll leave it to you to entertain the guests."
He stretched out his thick palm and patted the shoulder of Kirin Temple Tenshiro next to him.
"Ming and I have other things to do."
Ru Yueming was startled and confused: "What's the matter?"
The commander of the army, Ichibei, looked at him deeply, then turned and left:
"Just follow me and you'll find out."
Ruyue Ming followed him without doubting his presence.
Watching the two figures walking away on Omotesando, Aizen narrowed his eyes.
Could it be that things that are not convenient to talk about in public have something to do with the Spirit King?
Before coming, he and Urahara Kisuke went to the Great Soul Scroll Corridor to retrieve all the information related to the Soul King and conduct more detailed analysis and research.
Although no specific conclusion was reached, after discussion, a more terrifying conjecture was reached.
The Spiritual King is not as omniscient and omnipotent as the intelligence description says, and there are things he cannot do.
And this is exactly what someone can do.
Aizen and Urahara Kisuke looked at each other, both seeing the heaviness in the other's eyes.
Two figures, one fat and one thin, came to the end of Omotesando and climbed onto the high platform in the center.
"What are you talking about here?"
Ru Yueming looked at the gathered spirits, and there was a faint tendency to launch from the high platform under his feet.
Hearing this, the commander of the army, Ichibei, looked sideways and showed a meaningful smile:
"Lord Spirit King wants to see you..."
