In the Xia Continent's mansion, Ruri Chiyo walked forward in her clogs without saying a word. When Guan Zhimu Chou saw her, he wanted to go over and greet his fiancée.
However, unexpectedly, Guan Zhimu Chou, who came out of the room, fell on the flat wooden floor without any warning.
The little princess heard the noise behind her and knew it was Guan Zhi Mu without thinking, but she ignored him and walked towards the back hall.
After passing through the narrow corridor, the little princess came to the garden and asked the servants to bring out the handball her mother had left her. The little princess held the handball in both hands, and her green eyes fell into a daze as she began to recall her life in the Xia Continent Family over the years.
I don't know how long it had been, maybe an hour, maybe two hours. When the little princess regained her attention, she realized that the two servants beside her were gone.
At this time, the alarm sounded outside, warning of a Hollow attack.
Those Hollows were all attracted to Seireitei by the bait released by Tianbei Xiuzhu.
"What happened?"
Ruri Chiyo frowned slightly. Although she didn't know what had invaded Seireitei, it sounded like a particularly tricky enemy.
Then, dozens of fierce-looking subordinates walked into the back garden. They were wearing ninja-like night clothes, with black scarves covering their faces, looking like the assassins the little princess had encountered in the World of the Living.
The person in the center of these assassins was none other than Yun Jing, leaning on his cane.
Now Yun Jing no longer had the kind and benevolent appearance of an old man, but instead had a kind of arrogant and vicious feeling on his face.
Yun Jing Yaojue was just an ordinary subordinate in the Kasumioji in the past, but he took care of the little Ruri Chiyo like Quan Long did. Yun Jing Yaojue also took care of Ruri Chiyo's grandmother when she was young. Therefore, after Ruri Chiyo's grandmother became the head of the family, Yun Jing Yaojue suddenly rose to become a close retainer of the head of the family.
"Princess, let me tell you something, your mother was actually poisoned to death. Oh, and your father was also poisoned."
When Yun Jing said this, his tone was full of smugness.
"How could that be? How would you know these things?"
Ruri Chiyo was greatly startled; she had always believed her parents died of illness.
Yun Jing laughed heartily upon hearing this.
"I don't mind telling Her Royal Highness, I was the one who sent people to poison them! Who told your mother to stop me from researching the Moyao Blade! That timid woman would only hinder the Xia Continent Family's development. Only by controlling power can we strengthen the family!
Her Royal Highness, I've been displeased with you for a long time. Today, you can rest assured and go meet your mother!"
Yun Jing tapped the floor with his cane, and the assassins drew the gleaming blades from their waists.
"Yun Jing! This is treason! Guards… Yun Jing has rebelled…"
Ruri Chiyo shouted loudly. The little loli's voice was sharp and could be heard from a hundred meters away. But even so, no one responded to her plea for help.
"Haha, you only have a few retainers! Bring them up!"
Yun Jing waved his hand, and his subordinates brought up twenty retainers loyal to Ruri Chiyo.
Looking at the tied-up opponents, Yun Jing revealed a smug smile, making his already wrinkled face even more disgusting.
Ruri Chiyo frowned, clearly, this old man had been plotting for a long time.
Yun Jing pouted, wearing a disgusting smile. Looking at the somewhat bewildered Her Royal Highness, he finally, finally controlled the Xia Continent Family… For more than ten years, he had been planning to make the entire Xia Continent Family his own, and only then did he reluctantly serve this willful brat… After enduring for so many years, he could finally turn the tables.
"Alright, Her Royal Highness, it's time for you to go! Attack!"
Yun Jing waved his hand, and two assassins holding Moyao Blades rushed towards Her Royal Highness, swinging their blades to kill the defenseless girl.
However, facing the vicious assassins, the golden-haired loli's eyes suddenly became playful…
Boom~
Yun Jing only heard a loud bang in his ears. The bodies of the two assassins bizarrely exploded, splattering flesh and blood everywhere.
"Chiyo, I hope I didn't scare you."
The space behind the golden-haired loli suddenly twisted, like a layer of spatial veil being peeled away. Lin Feng, wearing a cloak that concealed his aura, appeared before everyone. He also rubbed Ruri Chiyo's small head with his palm.
"…Lin Feng, you guessed right. Yun Jing indeed couldn't hold back and wanted to make a move on me now."
Ruri Chiyo glared fiercely at the opposite side.
"You… how are you here?!"
Yun Jing immediately reacted. This person was the Captain of the Eleventh Division. He had fallen into his trap. Her Royal Highness's return was entirely to lure him into action.
"A dead man doesn't need to know these things."
Lin Feng calmly looked at Yun Jing, a slight smirk on his lips, seemingly mocking him, making Yun Jing feel underestimated.
Yun Jing waved his old hand, signaling the assassins to swarm forward. Now that Her Royal Highness knew the truth, with no retreat, he could only fight to the death here.
Two assassins tried to activate the Moyao Blade's ability, but as Lin Feng's crimson pupils swept over them, the air around them instantly became incredibly heavy, crushing them into a puddle of mud.
Ordinary Shinigami have twenty levels of spiritual power, four to five levels are Lieutenant, and three levels or above are Captains.
And Lin Feng's spiritual power was already above the first level. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great. Just the surging spiritual pressure emanating from him could crush these assassins.
"Is that your strength? How amazing!"
Ruri Chiyo's eyes flashed with surprise. Lin Feng just stood there without any movement, and the opponents died.
"You… you…"
In an instant, dozens of assassins all exploded into minced meat. The old scoundrel Yun Jing was stunned. This Shinigami solved his Moyao Blade, which he had researched for many years, without even drawing his Zanpakuto.
No, he hadn't lost yet!
The next moment, Yun Jing ran quickly, his speed faster than a young man. He had pawns in both the Forty-Six Chambers and the 13th Division.
Yun Jing's eyes had become frantic.
As long as… as long as he could escape from here, he still had a chance to turn the tables.
However, a figure flashed past.
"Ah… it's you!" Yun Jing let out a painful cry. Clearly, he had been ambushed.
And the old man's eyes were filled with shock, confusion, and unwillingness, as he was run through the chest by a man's Zanpakuto.
"You… who are you? How could you just kill him like that?"
Princess Ruri Chiyo looked at the suddenly appearing bearded uncle, very annoyed. Killing the old scoundrel Yun Jing like that was simply letting him off too easily.
"Hmm, I am here on Captain Yamamoto's orders to investigate the Moyao Blade."
Tianbei Xiuzhu pulled out the Zanpakuto from Yun Jing's chest, glanced at Ruri Chiyo behind Lin Feng. Then, with a calm demeanor, he picked up four Moyao Blades from the ground and skillfully dug out the eyeball-like spherical cores from the blades.
"Huh~? Even Yamamoto has no right to directly kill Yun Jing."
Ruri Chiyo stood on her tiptoes, resuming her usual domineering attitude.
The Xia Continent Family was, after all, a major noble clan second only to the Five Great Noble Clans, and they were also responsible for crafting ritual instruments for the royal family. The Xia Continent Family, enjoying extraterritorial jurisdiction, was not subject to the Seireitei's 13th Division's control at all.
Ruri Chiyo rolled up her kimono sleeves, about to argue with this Shinigami Captain, but Lin Feng grabbed her small hand.
Amidst the golden-haired loli's confusion, Lin Feng said indifferently, "I advise you not to harbor naive thoughts, thinking you can defeat me with the Moyao Blade at your waist."
Lin Feng's single sentence instantly made Tianbei Xiuzhu's lazy gaze sharpen.
"Haha… Captain Lin, why are you suddenly joking? I don't have any Moyao Blade."
"It doesn't matter if you don't admit it. I know the ability of your blade very well, isn't it to seal Shinigami's spiritual pressure?
And you directly killed Yun Jing to silence him, didn't you?"
Lin Feng spread his hands, indifferently.
"You… how do you know this?"
Tianbei Xiuzhu's face showed ferocity, without any of his previous honest appearance! His first reaction was that his secret had been discovered.
"Give up, Tianbei Xiuzhu. If you can turn back now, Captain Commander will give you a lenient treatment."
Lin Feng deliberately emphasized Captain Commander's name when advising him.
"Yamamoto? Don't joke around, that hypocritical old man only cares about his own power."
Tianbei Xiuzhu's father died by Captain Yamamoto's blade, and his father kept talking about the Moyao Blade before his death. So Tianbei Xiuzhu regarded both Yun Jing and Captain Yamamoto as his father's murderers.
"I will use this Moyao Blade to destroy the Xia Continent Family and destroy Yamamoto Genryusai!"
Tianbei Xiuzhu drew the tuning fork-shaped Moyao Blade from his waist and fed all four eyeballs to the tuning fork.
After absorbing enough Reishi, the Moyao Blade released tentacles from its hilt, which wrapped around Tianbei Xiuzhu's left hand like remote-controlled wires, completing a simple fusion.
"Sever! Raika!"
Tianbei Xiuzhu took out his Raika with his right hand, and after successive Shikai and Bankai, his Zanpakuto transformed into a hooked sword-shield.
After activating Bankai, Tianbei Xiuzhu looked at Lin Feng smugly. Only his Raika could use Zanpakuto abilities under the influence of the tuning fork.
As long as he was a Shinigami, it was impossible to defeat him!
But Lin Feng still didn't show any expression of fear.
Could it be that he had a way to deal with the tuning fork? ...If that was the case, this man absolutely could not be allowed to live! Otherwise, he would become an obstacle on his path of revenge!
"Hah!"
Tianbei Xiuzhu swung his Zanpakuto with all his might, and ten terrifying Thunder Flame Bomb shot out.
Fireballs of tens of thousands of degrees could incinerate everything. Clearly, Tianbei Xiuzhu wanted to eliminate Lin Feng before the 13th Division dealt with the Hollows.
"It's useless, my position as Captain wasn't obtained by a Zanpakuto!"
The sky full of fireballs was indeed fatal to Captains who relied on their Zanpakuto, but Lin Feng wasn't a pure Shinigami. The tuning fork had no effect on his Hollow power or Vampire power.
"Banquet of the Sea God!"
Lin Feng's eyes widened, and the ultimate technique of Yue Hai from the Sekirei world suddenly appeared. Water from all over Seireitei rapidly converged towards Lin Feng, forming a hundred-meter-long water dragon.
Under Lin Feng's control, the colossal water dragon devoured all the fireballs in its sight. Ruri Chiyo, who had been frightened by the high temperature, and all the retainers breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn it, what kind of technique is this?"
Watching the water dragon appear out of thin air, fiercely opening its mouth to bite, Tianbei Xiuzhu quickly raised Raika, continuously spewing high-temperature flames to shatter the attacking water dragon.
In an instant, white steam filled the space, making it impossible to see one's hand in front of their face. At the same time, Lin Feng flashed behind the opponent and punched towards his neck bone.
"Damn it, such petty tricks, don't underestimate me!"
Tianbei Xiuzhu instantly turned around and swung the tuning fork at Lin Feng with extreme speed.
Boom!
Lin Feng faced the sharp blade without dodging. His fist struck the tuning fork, instantly erupting with a million tons of force, easily breaking the Moyao Blade. Tianbei Xiuzhu's body was sent flying directly, crashing through countless walls, finally rolling to a stop on a street several kilometers away.
If Tianbei Xiuzhu's strength hadn't been considerable, that punch just now would have turned him into a bloody mist.
"You brat, don't get cocky! At worst, we'll both go down together!"
Tianbei Xiuzhu, with six broken ribs, struggled out of the crater, about to overload Raika and destroy everything within a radius of tens of kilometers.
"No, only you are finished."
Lin Feng, who had Teleport in front of Tianbei Xiuzhu, raised his hand and unleashed a "Dimensional Blade."
Tianbei Xiuzhu couldn't dodge in time and felt as if something had pierced him. His eyes widened, and his vision suddenly split in two.
It turned out he had been cleanly sliced in half from the middle. He could almost see his own blood spraying out from the center. Tianbei didn't even feel pain before his dark pupils lost their focus.
"I really don't know how to thank you."
Lin Feng smiled as he looked at Tianbei Xiuzhu's corpse. He thanked Tianbei and Yun Jing for their complicity. Otherwise, Yun Jing wouldn't have dared to openly rebel, and he wouldn't have been able to control the Xia Continent Family so easily...
