A week later, the Kyouraku clan, one of the Five Great Noble Clans, was reduced to a lower noble rank because the main family and branch families were all destroyed, although some remote collateral branches survived.
Therefore, the Forty-Six Chambers and the Noble Council jointly decided to remove the Kyouraku clan from the Five Great Noble Clans and demote them to a lower noble rank.
Since then, the Gold Seal Council could no longer gather five family heads, and the Forty-Six Chambers officially became the highest authority in the Soul Society.
Faced with the Seireitei in need of restoration, the Xia Continent Family, through a joint effort with the Noble Council.
Through several laws, the procedures for traveling between the Rukongai and the Seireitei were greatly simplified.
These measures allowed the commoners of Rukongai to enter Seireitei as cheap labor.
In addition, Seireitei's Household Registration Bureau would regularly monitor the spiritual power of Rukongai's commoners, and when they found those with potential, they would invite them to the True Spirit Arts Academy, a training institution for Shinigami. Geniuses like Tōshirō were discovered this way.
The Xia Continent Family also gained significant benefits during Seireitei's reconstruction.
In recent days, many members of critical departments were inexplicably killed by Sword Beasts. Even if some survived, they could not escape their fear of the Sword Beasts and submitted their resignations one after another.
Lin Feng took the opportunity to greatly extend his influence into various departments and agencies of Seireitei.
A week later, another major event occurred in Soul Society.
The 13th Division Lieutenant, Kaien, while searching for lurking Sword Beasts in Rukongai's Second District, was ambushed by a bull-headed Hollow with fusion abilities.
Subsequently, the entire squad was wiped out, and Kaien was possessed and ultimately devoured, dying.
Unlike the original world line, Captain Ukitake Jushiro was recuperating at this time, and Rukia had not yet joined the 13th Division.
Therefore, the task of freeing Kaien from being devoured by the Hollow fell to Shiba Isshin.
To uphold the honor of the Shiba, Isshin fought Kaien. The Lieutenant-level Kaien was clearly no match for Isshin. Unexpectedly, Aizen, who was hidden nearby, suddenly slashed Isshin. Then, the Hollow that had fused with Kaien activated its self-destruct ability, intending to perish with Isshin.
After an explosion, the figures of both completely disappeared from Soul Society.
...
That afternoon, in the Shiba's very grand residence in the common noble district.
The Onee-san, having received the bad news, sat on the tatami mat with a sorrowful expression, restlessly puffing on her pipe.
She had black hair wrapped in a white cloth band. Her lower body was adorned with a white dress with a high slit, revealing calves and feet as smooth as white jade.
Her loose red top revealed an incredibly deep cleavage. Just looking at those two large, fleshy mounds through her clothes made one's imagination run wild.
And the woman was none other than Shiba Kukaku, a direct descendant of the Shiba.
"Big Sister! Big Sister! This is bad, this is bad... Big Brother and Uncle have both died in battle!"
At this moment, Shiba Iwagun, who looked very much like a gorilla, ran in frantically. Iwagun's eyes began to redden.
Admittedly, Iwagun usually seemed like an unreliable hooligan.
But the death of two elders in the family on the same day still made Iwagun, who considered himself a tough guy, grieve.
Iwagun rushed towards his Big Sister, snot and tears streaming down his face, only to be met with an iron fist.
"Stop your endless chattering! And you didn't come home all last night, don't think I don't know where you were messing around!"
Kukaku, already annoyed, looked at her good-for-nothing younger brother and punched him into the floor.
"That's so mean, Big Sister! I'm already an adult!... Ah, ouch ouch ouch!"
Looking at her useless younger brother, Kukaku mercilessly continued to grind her foot into his head.
Now that Kaien, the head of the Shiba, was dead, and Iwagun was too immature, Kukaku could only take over as head of the family.
Just then, there was a noisy commotion outside the door.
"Big Sister, someone's outside!"
Shiba Iwagun hastily scrambled to his feet, and the moment he pushed the door open, he was stunned.
Around the residence, more than twenty brawny hooligans were seen spray-painting derogatory remarks on the walls with red paint.
Things like the Shiba was completely in decline; they were unworthy of the treatment of a Golden Seal Noble Clan; their presence in Seireitei was a complete waste of resources, and so on.
In the middle of these hooligans stood a lavishly dressed noble. He had a pompadour hairstyle, and his hands were covered in glittering gold rings. His burly physique resembled that of Omaeda, but the man before them had an even more arrogant gaze.
Indeed, he was Shinada Toji, the second son of the Shinada family, one of the six Grand Judges of the Forty-Six Chambers. Although Shinada Toji's strength was not great, as the second young master of a prominent family, he could run rampant among the nobles with his family as his backing.
"Damn you, Shinada, tell your subordinates to get lost!"
Shiba Iwagun immediately became enraged upon seeing the red words on the wall. He rolled up his sleeves, ready to challenge him to a fight.
However, two strong bodyguards jumped out from beside Shinada Toji and easily pinned Iwagun to the ground, giving him a good beating.
"Heh, you're quite resilient, but the Shiba are only good as punching bags, aren't they?"
Shinada Toji mocked Shiba Iwagun, who was bruised and swollen on the ground.
"Young Master of the Shinada family, release my brother quickly, or else!"
Shiba Kukaku walked out with a cold expression.
"Tch, do you think I was scared into growing up, Shiba Kukaku?!"
Shinada Toji's face held a mocking expression.
"You wouldn't think that without Kaien of the 13th Division, the fallen Shiba could still be nobler than the Shinada family, would you?"
Now, with the Kyouraku clan being delisted, the Golden Body of the Five Great Noble Clans was broken. Compared to the other three families, the Shiba, having lost Kaien and Isshin from the 13th Division, was the easiest to target.
Since the Shiba had completely fallen, they should hand over all their family assets.
"If you know what's good for you, quickly hand over all the techniques controlled by the Shiba!
Then take this trash and roll into Rukongai to live with those commoners."
"Otherwise..."
At this point, Shinada Toji paused, clearly threatening their lives.
"You bastard..."
Shiba Kukaku's fists instantly clenched. Being short-tempered, she clearly could not tolerate such provocative behavior.
And Shinada Toji revealed a triumphant smile. As long as Shiba Kukaku dared to hit him, his father, along with the other judges, could arrest everyone from the Shiba.
In truth, several prominent noble families had long coveted the Shiba's assets. Now they had colluded, preparing to jointly challenge the Shiba.
CRACK! A crisp sound.
Just then, an orange soda can was precisely thrown at Shinada Toji's head.
"Who, who threw trash?!"
Shinada Toji, hit on the back of the head, immediately became enraged. He was a young master from a great noble family. How dare someone throw trash at him? He vowed to skin them alive!
As Shinada Toji and his retainers looked around, Lin Feng, wearing the Eleventh Division Captain's haori, slowly walked over.
In an instant, everyone in the vicinity of the residence turned their gaze towards him.
Lin Feng simply swept his gaze over the thugs and said disdainfully, "You're too disgusting to look at; hitting you would dirty my hands. If you don't want to die, get as far away as possible!"
Lin Feng merely swayed the Zanpakuto at his waist. At this moment, this Zanpakuto was the blade of Enrakyoten.
"Haha… As expected of Captain Lin of the combat unit… So arrogant!"
Shinada Toji burst into wild laughter, his mouth stretching so wide it looked like it would split at the corners. Seeing their boss like this, the other subordinates all echoed his laughter.
"A Captain from Rukongai actually dares to come cause trouble for our family, which has a thousand-year heritage. Am I dreaming?"
The bearded man laughed crudely.
Because Lin Feng had already stepped into a dimension higher than both Shinigami and Hollow, in the eyes of both the Captain Commander and ordinary people, Lin Feng's spiritual pressure was as thin as air, even weaker than that of a regular squad member.
"Young Master Shinada Toji, look at his scrawny figure. He probably isn't as formidable as the legends say. Today, I'll let him know the terror of my blade."
A muscular subordinate drew the katana from his waist and said arrogantly.
Shinada Toji stopped his grotesque smile, his face turning cold as he nodded.
"Understood, Young Master Shinada Toji!"
Upon receiving Shinada Toji's order, hundreds of subordinates suddenly appeared at the street entrance. They held various bladed and blunted weapons, instantly surrounding the Shiba residence entrance. They sharpened their blades, menacingly approaching Lin Feng.
They just didn't know that there was a female demon beside Lin Feng, watching them playfully.
"Hehe, so many people! Can I eat them all? Can I, can I?"
Enrakyoten smiled as she pulled Lin Feng's arm. Having copied Muramasa's Shikai, she could materialize her Zanpakuto on her own. And with the combination of various illusionary abilities, she could completely conceal her presence from everyone.
"Don't kill them. Wait… why are you showing yourself?"
With so many people around, it would be troublesome if someone saw through her illusion.
Furthermore, Lin Feng didn't want Shiba Kukaku to discover anything, so he reached out and flicked the disobedient Onee-san. A large bump immediately appeared on Enrakyoten's delicate forehead, making her cry out in pain as she clutched it.
To others, Lin Feng appeared to be talking to thin air in a very neurotic manner.
"Is this guy crazy?"
The thugs all burst into laughter. However, this laughter sounded particularly grating to the beaten Enrakyoten; mocking Lin Feng was like mocking her.
"Damn it, what are you laughing at? I'll make you cry without tears later!"
The angry Enrakyoten waved her delicate hand. A pink ripple instantly spread among the hundreds of burly men.
Immediately, an unusual blush appeared on the faces of these burly men.
Under the effect of complete five-senses hypnosis, these thugs began to take off their clothes and surrounded their young master.
"Wait… what are you doing? Get away… don't come any closer!"
Shinada Toji's eyes flashed with surprise, his chrysanthemum tightened, and he had a very bad premonition!
"Hoo hoo… Little Onee-san, you smell so good…"
Before Shinada Toji could escape, he felt a pair of large hands reach from behind and tightly embrace his thick waist. Shinada Toji turned back in horror and saw his most trusted subordinate, Sato, with a flushed face, exhaling hot, damp breath into his ear.
And Shinada Toji could still feel something thick and large pressing against his backside, making his chrysanthemum ache!
"Sato, what are you doing? Don't scare me!"
Shinada Toji struggled with all his might, but the surrounding thugs, like hungry wolves pouncing on prey, began to tear at Shinada Toji's clothes.
Under Enrakyoten's complete five-senses hypnosis, no matter what Shinada Toji yelled, the thugs only saw him as a delicate young girl.
The poor noble young master was thus stripped clean on the street, not even leaving a pair of underwear.
He had completely lost the face of his noble clan. But it wasn't over yet; what came next would make him want to die!
Dozens of large hands simultaneously groped Shinada Toji's body. Two fists are no match for four hands. Soon, Shinada Toji's defenses were breached, and his chrysanthemum was directly entered by his subordinates.
"Ah ah ah!…"
Shinada Toji, as burly as a great field, cried out in agony. Such a stimulating scene of homosexual activity shocked Lin Feng and Shiba Kukaku.
Lin Feng was about to vomit, while the culprit, Enrakyoten, gave a mischievous smile and directly burrowed back into the Zanpakuto.
"Is this… Kidō… or a Zanpakuto ability?"
Large question marks appeared above Shiba Kukaku's head. It was bizarre, truly too bizarre. How did Lin Feng control these people? She hadn't felt any spiritual pressure fluctuations at all!
And the incident of the young master being assaulted by his own subordinates became the most bizarre case in Seireitei this year. Even after the Onmitsukido were dispatched, they couldn't find any explanation.
"Uh… this matter has nothing to do with me. Actually, I came to discuss the death of Shiba Isshin with you."
Lin Feng shrugged his shoulders, looking innocent. He held Shiba Kukaku's small hand and walked into the residence, kindly closing the main gate.
"Ah… no… pull it out… I'm going to kill all of you… Ah ah ah, help me…嗚嗚!"
From outside the tall gate came Shinada Toji's pig-like screams, but soon his mouth was stuffed with something thick and dark, making him emit muffled whimpers.
After this incident, Shinada Toji's chrysanthemum was completely ruined by the group of strong men. From then on, he had to be very careful when passing gas, as it might accidentally slip out…
