Chapter 142

Hearing these words, Bai Zai did not understand why he was acting this way.

Qianye thought for a moment; he did not explain to Bai Zai, for even if he did, Bai Zai might not understand anyway.

Moreover, the timeline has already changed; Rukia might not appear in the Human World, so the subsequent series of events are unlikely to occur.

"By the way, Renji Abarai, you can train him more. In the future, he will be your right-hand man, and he will even grow into a formidable opponent for you."

"And he and Rukia..." Qianye coughed twice as he spoke these words.

Rukia and Renji are a match made in heaven; he is a fan of the original work, respects the author's arrangements, and genuinely believes the two are a couple.

"What?" Bai Zai was stunned for a moment.

His heart was not as tender as Qianye's; he simply did not understand what Qianye meant.

"Nothing. You will know in the future." Qianye shook his head and offered no further explanation.

Instead, Rukia understood his meaning, and her face immediately turned red.

"Big Brother, you cannot speak so recklessly..." Rukia was still a young girl, and hearing his words naturally made her feel shy.

089. Marching to Hueco Mundo, Unstoppable

"Haha, whether it is reckless speech, you will know in the future." Qianye smiled slightly.

Having finished speaking, he stood up and looked at the two, saying, "You two will always be my younger brother and sister."

Realizing something was wrong, Bai Zai was also stunned; he hurriedly rushed to Qianye and asked, "Big Brother, what do you mean?"

Qianye smiled and said, "I am going to Hueco Mundo to find the Hōgyoku."

Upon hearing these words, Bai Zai's expression changed.

"What? Going to Hueco Mundo?" Bai Zai stood up directly.

"No! A Soul Reaper going to Hueco Mundo is asking for death. What are you going there for?" Bai Zai asked through gritted teeth.

Qianye shook his head and said, "I believe you if you say you are going to die, but I am not going to die."

Upon hearing this, Bai Zai also gritted his teeth.

"Hueco Mundo, '490', is where the Hollows live? Why go there?" Rukia did not know that many things.

But she had also heard of the terror of Hueco Mundo and naturally did not want Qianye to go.

Qianye shook his head and continued, "There is nothing that cannot be gone to. Their lives are not necessarily different from ours; it is just a different way of living."

"As for what I am going to do, you will know later." Qianye said indifferently.

"Could it be that the Captain-Commander ordered you to go? No, if that is the case, I absolutely disagree!" Bai Zai was extremely anxious.

"Then go fight the Captain-Commander?" Qianye raised an eyebrow.

Bai Zai slumped again; he opened his mouth but did not know what to say.

"If it is truly so, I hope you can protect yourself. Once there is danger, return immediately!" Bai Zai said through gritted teeth.

In fact, he also knew that Qianye was just saying his final goodbyes. If Qianye succeeded, he would naturally return, but if he failed, what would happen in the end was clear to everyone.

"Tsk, if there is danger, it will likely only be those monsters of Hueco Mundo." Qianye laughed carelessly.

"You still have the mood to laugh? If Father finds out, he..." Rukia bit her lip.

Seeing her look of heartache, Qianye also laughed heartily and continued, "Don't worry. When I return, I will bring you some specialties of Hueco Mundo. Maybe I can even raise two Hollows to play with."

"Big Brother, you are so disgusting..." Rukia looked at Qianye gloomily and said.

Qianye rolled his eyes, then took a deep breath.

"I'm leaving." He said.

"So soon?" Bai Zai looked at Qianye reluctantly.

"There is no time to lose. The Hōgyoku is currently in Hueco Mundo... Oh dear, I slipped up. I said I wouldn't tell you." Qianye laughed heartily and then walked out the door.

"Big Brother, won't you tell Father?" Bai Zai asked.

"No need. You can tell him for me, but remember, do not let him worry about me." Having finished speaking, Qianye's figure had already vanished from the spot.

Bai Zai opened his mouth, but for a moment, he did not know what to say.

"He has already left." Rukia stepped forward and tugged at Bai Zai's clothes.

Bai Zai let out a bitter laugh, then left together with Rukia.

On the other side, Qianye had already stepped into the Dangai.

Without the threat of the Menos, Qianye strolled leisurely through the Dangai, taking the opportunity to cultivate properly.

"Sigh, it seems I should still complete the system's missions to grow." Qianye shook his head.

His reiatsu had not grown at all, and although he had cultivated there for many days, only a single day had passed in the outside world.

Finally, Qianye came from the Dangai to Hueco Mundo.

Hueco Mundo was a vast expanse of gray; the sand on the ground and the withered trees around it all indicated that this place was nothing but void.

Qianye looked at the boundless sea of sand before him, felt a movement in his heart, and directly used Shunpo to start traveling.

And the descent of Soul Reaper power made all the monsters in Hueco Mundo excited.

Over the centuries, Soul Reapers had also come here specifically, but none were not eliminated, becoming their food.

Even some exiled Soul Reapers, after arriving here, were treated as slaves and only eliminated after gradually losing their Soul Reaper power.

"This place is really nice, just too dim, and I don't know if there are oil lamps..." Qianye sighed.

He used Shunpo to weave and dodge, and finally arrived near a small territory.

As soon as Qianye appeared from the void, many Adjuchas appeared around him, with a Gillian leading the charge and an Vasto Lorde stationed behind.

"It's actually a Soul Reaper? And a Soul Reaper with such thick Soul Reaper power? Our luck is truly exploding!" The Vasto Lorde behind happily clapped a ball on the ground.

Looking closely, that was no ball; that was clearly a Gillian.

"Tsk, it seems my luck is good too; I found you." Qianye smiled slightly.

He was still thinking about how long it would take him to reach Las Noches, but now it seemed that as long as he asked some clues from their mouths, he would know those things.

"You're really something — bold!" The Adjuchas behind them twisted its face in rage.

At its command, the Gillian in front charged straight toward Kuchiki Senya.

Kuchiki Senya watched them, the Heaven-Breaking Myriad Forms in his hand flickering with an uncanny light.

"Heaven-Breaking Myriad Forms — Shatter!"

As he released his Zanpakuto, Heaven-Breaking Myriad Forms transformed into a meteor and plunged into the swarm of Gillian.

Screams erupted on all sides at once — the Shinigami power contained within Heaven-Breaking Myriad Forms was already beyond any level they could endure.

"How could this be?" The Adjuchas stationed in the rear was instantly seized by terror.

"Quick, go report to the outpost!" The Adjuchas finished speaking and then rushed toward Kuchiki Senya.

Kuchiki Senya was somewhat surprised — he hadn't expected this Adjuchas to be so brave? To not run off on its own?

But very quickly, Kuchiki Senya realized he was overthinking it.

The next second, the Adjuchas actually just turned around and fled; at this moment, Kuchiki Senya's attention was entirely on the two Gillian preparing to go report.

But Kuchiki Senya's ability was far beyond what this Adjuchas could compare to.

"Heaven-Breaking Myriad Forms — Condense!" Kuchiki Senya released his Zanpakuto once more.

A white and a black streak of sword Qi enveloped that Adjuchas, and then Kuchiki Senya walked forward with a cold smirk.

"Let them all go, I'll ask you a few questions — answer well, and you can live." Kuchiki Senya said lightly.

That Adjuchas had long since been scared out of its wits; with a wave of its large hand, it ordered all the Gillian to withdraw.

090. Danger Escalates — Hueco Mundo Territory

"What's your name?" Kuchiki Senya asked with a smile, looking at the Adjuchas before him.

The other scratched its head and said awkwardly, "I don't have a name. We're one of the defensive lines of the Nothingness outside the Thirteen Territories. Because I evolved into an Adjuchas, I can command Gillian."

"Although it's the lowest-class Adjuchas, its strength is far greater than these Gillian, and it possesses self-awareness." Kuchiki Senya narrowed his eyes.

Sure enough, the manga he'd read in his previous life was useful — at the very least, he could still understand the hierarchy.

"Where is Las Noches?" Kuchiki Senya asked.

Back then, the manga's protagonist and his group had traveled for several days before reaching Las Noches, but they couldn't freely release their Reiatsu at the time — compared to that, he had it much easier.

His purpose in coming here was to find the Hōgyoku; the Hōgyoku now was probably still under the control of Yhwach's subordinates.

If he couldn't find the Hōgyoku, he couldn't return to Soul Society; if he couldn't return to Soul Society, his strength would be very hard to improve further.

If it weren't for the fact that he'd made Aizen expose himself prematurely, once Aizen and Yhwach joined hands, dealing with them with his current strength would probably be quite difficult.

Moreover, he was in Hueco Mundo — it was hard to imagine what kind of entertainment these monsters would have; Kuchiki Senya figured finding even a pleasure quarter would be nearly impossible.

"Las Noches? How do you know about Las Noches?" The Adjuchas stared at Kuchiki Senya in terror.

Kuchiki Senya looked at it calmly — how could he possibly not know?

In his previous life he'd read the manga thoroughly — every spin-off, theatrical film, and official novel he'd seen; if the current timeline hadn't changed, he wouldn't even need to come here.
