Chapter 164

"Die!"

Kuchiki Senya shouted coldly. He suddenly leaped up into mid-air, then clenched his right hand into a fist and smashed it violently against the wall.

Boom! The Grand Priest's face instantly turned deathly pale. He saw the wall he had painstakingly built collapse in an instant. Then Kuchiki Senya leaped up again and smashed the wall once more. This time, the Grand Priest's carefully constructed building was directly destroyed, leaving a gaping hole in the wall.

"You are asking for death!" the Grand Priest roared.

"I do not need to ask for death," Kuchiki Senya said coldly. "This is your own doing!"

Boom!

Another violent smash. Kuchiki Senya completely destroyed the entire building, then leaped into the sea, dove to the bottom, grabbed the crystal coffin, and lifted it up with one hand.

The Grand Priest and the other Shinigami chased down after him.

Just as they were about to catch up, the Grand Priest suddenly felt his body freeze in place. His movements slowed down by many times, completely defying the laws of nature. This was Kuchiki Senya ambushing him!

"Ah!"

The Grand Priest let out a shrill wail. His whole body trembled, blood pouring from his seven orifices; clearly, he was severely injured.

Kuchiki Senya grabbed the crystal coffin and walked outward.

The Grand Priest screamed frantically, "Stop him quickly!"

But how could these few Shinigami be a match for Kuchiki Senya?

They only managed to fire a few Reishi bullets. But this level of Reishi bullet was like scratching an itch to Kuchiki Senya; it had absolutely no effect.

At that moment, a gust of wind blew. Those few Shinigami suddenly froze in place. They seemed as if they had been frozen solid. Immediately, their bodies withered rapidly, becoming shriveled, then turned to powder and dispersed. Their Reishi all merged into the crystal coffin, nourishing the cold corpse inside.

In the darkness of the deep sea, Kuchiki Senya held the crystal coffin tightly in one hand while pressing the other onto the Grand Priest... The Grand Priest had now completely lost the ability to resist and could only watch helplessly as Kuchiki Senya moved further and further away from him.

"Do you want to know why I appeared here?" Kuchiki Senya's voice echoed through the hall. "Because someone asked for my help, asking me to rescue the woman imprisoned by you in this crystal coffin."

"Asked for help?" the Grand Priest exploded in rage. "Who would ask you for help? Our Otsutsuki clan has tens of thousands of members in Soul Society. The clan leader and several heirs are not here. How could an outsider like you possibly access the souls of our clan members?"

"You are wrong," Kuchiki Senya said. "I did not find this place through a request for help. It is because I sensed intense Reishi within this crystal coffin. Reishi is possessed by all living beings, just in varying amounts. But the Reishi contained within this crystal coffin is so strong that it is like a massive source of Reishi. That is why I came here, wanting to investigate."

The Grand Priest's face turned even more ugly. He never expected that the trap he had painstakingly set would be so easily seen through by someone. Moreover, the other party had exploited his negligence to completely disrupt the entire plan. Now it was too late for him to stop Kuchiki Senya.

At this moment, another gust of wind blew. This wind was even more violent than before, blowing the dust on the Grand Priest and the crystal coffin everywhere. When the dust settled, a beautiful woman appeared before the Grand Priest.

This woman had a fiery figure and snow-white skin. Around her neck she wore a ruby necklace. She was none other than Chizuru, the clan leader of the Otsutsuki clan and the wife of Hizamaru.

"Chizuru!" the Grand Priest cried out in shock. "You... how are you here?"

"Brother, I have been waiting for you," Chizuru said with a smile. "I knew you would come to find me."

The Grand Priest froze. A strong sense of unease suddenly surged in his heart. Although this woman was his younger sister, the Grand Priest was very clear about her strength. In her lifetime, Chizuru was one of the top warriors of the Otsutsuki clan. And now, her strength was probably even more powerful.

"You... what do you want to do?" the Grand Priest asked warily.

124, what have you done?

"I want to leave here," Chizuru said indifferently. "My body has already lost its vitality, but my soul remains. And the Reishi within this crystal coffin is nourishing my soul. So I must leave here to find a new body."

The Grand Priest's face suddenly turned pale. He finally understood Chizuru's plan. This crystal coffin was originally a trap he set to imprison Kuchiki Senya, but unexpectedly it had now become Chizuru's aid. And once Chizuru left this crystal coffin, she might regain a physical body and return to the Otsutsuki clan. At that time, the entire Soul Society would face the wrath of the Otsutsuki clan.

"No! You cannot leave here!" the Grand Priest roared. "You must be imprisoned forever within this crystal coffin!"

No sooner had the Grand Priest finished speaking than his body suddenly exploded, turning into a cloud of blood mist. Within the blood mist, a black shadow instantly flashed out; it was Kuchiki Senya.

"You..." the Grand Priest looked at Kuchiki Senya in terror. "What have you done?"

"I merely cast a small technique on you," Kuchiki Senya said indifferently. "The name of this technique is 'Blood Mist Illusion'. It can cause your body to explode while trapping your soul in a permanent illusion. And your vitality will also be drained during this process."

The Grand Priest's body began to shrivel; his vitality was rapidly draining away. During this process, his soul was also pulled into an endless maze. There, he could see no light and find no way out. He could only lose his direction in this blood-colored mist and wander forever.

"This way you will no longer harm the living beings of the world," Kuchiki Senya said coldly.

The Grand Priest's body was now completely shriveled, and the light of life quickly extinguished. His soul drifted about in the blood mist maze like a homeless wandering ghost.

After confirming that the Grand Priest had completely lost his vitality, Kuchiki Senya released his hand, letting the crystal coffin fall into the deep sea. He took a deep breath and then swam toward the surface.

⑧⑨③⑨⑥④④⑥0 Transfer Group

When Kuchiki Senya surfaced, the dawn light had already filled the sea. He looked into the distance; it was a brand new world, a world full of life.

Kuchiki Senya swam to the shore and then walked onto the beach. He looked up; a ray of sunlight had already torn through the clouds in the sky and fallen upon him.

"It is all over," Kuchiki Senya murmured to himself.

The conspiracy targeting Edo Tensei ended abruptly here, and Kaguya Otsutsuki, the creator of Edo Tensei, also died. From now on, Edo Tensei will no longer exist. Because Edo Tensei is only suitable for ordinary people to use.

And the foundation of Edo Tensei is actually the soul of Kaguya Otsutsuki. Now Kaguya Otsutsuki has disappeared, and her soul was absorbed after death, so Edo Tensei has lost all meaning. And the source of Edo Tensei has also been destroyed, so naturally Edo Tensei can no longer proceed.

As for the Grand Priest, when he activated Edo Tensei, it was already destined that he must die.

The Grand Priest's corpse floated beside the crystal coffin, having already become a dead body.

Kuchiki Senya extended his palm and gently stroked the crystal coffin. He sighed, "This thing is too evil."

Kuchiki Senya reached out and lifted the lid of the crystal coffin, revealing Chizuru inside.

Kuchiki Senya took out a jade stone. Many complex and obscure runes were carved on this stone, and several fragments were inlaid on top of the stone.

"Sealing Technique: Seal-Release Stone," Kuchiki Senya chanted the incantation. The Seal-Release Stone immediately emitted brilliant silver light, wrapping his soul and Chizuru within. Subsequently, Kuchiki Senya sent Chizuru's soul into the Seal-Release Stone. During this process, Chizuru's soul felt no pain or struggle. It seemed that, in her eyes, she had already died long ago, and now her soul was simply returning to the human world.

"This way, even if you die, you can continue to live, and you won't have to suffer the torment of reincarnation anymore," Kuchiki Senya murmured to himself. "I hope you can recover your health quickly and then leave here."

The silver light of the Seal-Release Stone gradually faded, then turned into a halo that enveloped Chizuru.

Outside the halo, Kuchiki Senya stood for a long time.

He gazed silently at the sleeping Chizuru, as if he had a thousand words to say, but finally they turned into two sighs.

Kuchiki Senya quietly left the beach and walked straight toward that Shanfeng. He knew there was a hidden cave there that could allow him to conceal his identity and temporarily hide from the turmoil and dangers in this world.

The cave was very dark, but for a Shinigami like Kuchiki Senya, it was nothing. He groped in the darkness and found a flat stone to sit on.

He closed his eyes, feeling the aura around him.

The aura of this world was different from the world he was familiar with, but it was not unfamiliar. He reached out and touched his own face, feeling the scars cut by blades.

A complex emotion surged in his heart: regret, guilt, and a hint of relief. He had already used his whole life to repay his mistakes. The lessons exchanged with blood and tears had also taught him how to face his past.

He did not know whether he could stay in this world or be rejected by the laws of space and time and return to his own world, but he knew that this world needed his help and also needed his protection.

His thoughts gradually drifted into the distance. Qian He's soul had been imprisoned here for a long time, and now the ending of 510 might also be a kind of release for her.

"Ah…"

Suddenly, a sharp, piercing shriek tore through the sky!

Kuchiki Senya's eyes snapped open, and he stood up from where he was.

"What's wrong?" Kuchiki Senya demanded in a low, stern voice.

"Ah… a ghost… a ghost is killing people!!"

"Ghost?" Kuchiki Senya frowned and looked toward the direction the sound had come from. He saw several women in bikinis, their whole bodies trembling as they pointed ahead, their lips quivering, panicked and at a loss.

Among these women, Kuchiki Senya saw an exquisitely beautiful, lovely face. A faint blush floated across her snow-white, delicate cheeks, giving her a few more hints of charm and allure.

At this moment, she covered her chest with one hand and shielded her eyes with the other, looking pitifully endearing.

Beside her on either side stood one boy and one girl, both male. They both looked about fifteen or sixteen, and were rather fair-featured.

These three were none other than the uncle Qianye once saved, and the lecherous youth.

After hearing those women's words, Kuchiki Senya followed the direction they were pointing and indeed saw a corpse lying in the grass a few meters away. The corpse's clothes were already tattered beyond recognition, and the exposed skin was covered in bloodstains and wounds.

125. You all behave yourselves!

"This is… Nakamura Fumine?" Kuchiki Senya gave a slight start, then his expression changed. He hadn't expected it really to be Nakamura Fumine, nor that the fellow had already died here.

"Run… run away…"

"So scary… a ghost, is that a ghost…"

Those women screamed one after another, scrambling desperately toward the shore.

"Wait, come back here."

Kuchiki Senya roared, and the women immediately stopped in their tracks, looking at him with faces full of fear and bewilderment.

"Th-there's a ghost here! Aren't you afraid?" Kuchiki Senya demanded through gritted teeth. He truly couldn't understand why these people weren't afraid of him. You have to know, he was currently in the form of a Shinigami! A Shinigami's power was extremely formidable, especially the aura of death, more than enough to frighten ordinary people away.

"Ah? Ghost! Ghost!" Those girls began screaming wildly again.

"Shut up! If anyone dares shout again, believe it or not I'll tear you to pieces on the spot?" Kuchiki Senya was furious. His voice carried a thick threat, and the already fearful women immediately shivered. But they still stared at him with faces full of panic.

"You all behave yourselves! Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!" Kuchiki Senya gave a cold laugh. Though he was speaking to this group of girls, his gaze locked onto those two youths.

These two were both advanced ninjas, their parents being Elders of the Ninja Guild. Now, for certain reasons, the upper echelons of the Ninja Guild had dispersed power among the various major and minor factions, causing the entire Ninja Guild to fall into a fractured state. These two genius children of the Ninja Guild had cultivated within the Ninja Guild since childhood, and had now broken through the initial stage. They both possessed extraordinary potential, and given time would surely become elites of the Ninja Guild.

"Where is this… I-I'm supposed to be dead, aren't I?" Nakamura Fumine slowly raised her head and said blankly.

"Was it you who killed me?" she murmured.

"That's right. I killed you, because you were too weak." Kuchiki Senya said indifferently.

"You…" Nakamura Fumine was stunned for a moment, then a look of pain crossed her face.

Kuchiki Senya gave a light snort: "Don't delude yourself into thinking you can recover your strength. You're already dead."

Nakamura Fumine clenched her teeth, glaring at Kuchiki Senya unwillingly, a glint of hatred shining deep in her eyes.
