Chapter 1473: Old Friend

Snap, snap...

Su Xiao heard the sound of glass breaking in his ears. He was trying hard to suppress the derivative effect of the Sword Art Master. This was difficult; he had to ensure Aizen had walked away, but he was in a hypnotic state and couldn't determine if Aizen had gone far.

After a full 10 minutes, Su Xiao finally couldn't suppress the derivative effect of the Sword Art Master. With a crash, the world around him shattered like a mirror.

Facts proved that mental abilities like Kyoka Suigetsu were completely ineffective against Su Xiao.

Don't think that being able to break Kyoka Suigetsu means one can fight Aizen. Even Aizen without the Hogyoku in his body was one of the best in the Gotei 13. Without this ability, how would he dare to jump out and confront the Soul Society head-on?

The surrounding world returned to normal, but Su Xiao's eyes were tightly closed. He was sensing, sensing if the surrounding world was normal.

After confirming again and again, Su Xiao could determine that he had escaped the hypnotic control of Kyoka Suigetsu, but there was one pitfall: the next time Aizen intended to use hypnotic ability to control Su Xiao, it would be very awkward. Of course, the awkward one would be Aizen.

Now Su Xiao belonged to the Seireitei force. As for whether to collude with Aizen, this remained to be considered.

The biggest benefit of colluding with Aizen was that Aizen was not a gentleman. Even if Su Xiao's methods were extreme, Aizen could easily accept them.

And the benefit of joining the Seireitei was being able to hug a big thigh. The Soul Society was not something Aizen could shake. Even Aizen after enhancing his strength with the Hogyoku could not easily shake the Soul Society.

Essentially, Shinigami were not good rulers, and Aizen was not either. The two were just the difference between coal and charcoal.

Su Xiao didn't care at all about the future of the Soul Society, but there was an undeniable fact: joining Aizen's side was definitely the choice with the highest return.

If Su Xiao killed a captain of a certain division, then he and the Seireitei would be irreconcilable. But having Aizen as a scapegoat was different. When Aizen betrayed the Seireitei, he would form a force alone, and the Gotei 13 would be somewhat unable to do anything to him. This was exactly the result Su Xiao wanted.

Of course, it was still too early to consider these things. If Su Xiao wanted to join Aizen, he would show his cards directly. With Aizen's IQ, he would soon discover that Kyoka Suigetsu was ineffective against Su Xiao. At that time, there would only be two results: one was to win over, the other was to silence.

When Aizen betrayed the Seireitei, two captain-level Shinigami followed, one named Ichimaru Gin, the other Tosen Kaname.

Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu was very strong, but it had a disadvantage: it was ineffective against blind people. Coincidentally, Tosen Kaname was blind, and Aizen chose to win over Tosen Kaname.

Su Xiao had to judge Aizen's reaction after discovering that Kyoka Suigetsu was broken, and then consider joining or uniting with the Seireitei to besiege Aizen.

However, Su Xiao could determine one thing: Aizen had already noticed his disguise.

Before entering the Sixth Division's headquarters, Su Xiao contacted Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang. The reason for doing this was that Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang had already infiltrated the protagonist team, monitoring Kurosaki Ichigo's movements at all times. When Kurosaki Ichigo was about to enter the Soul Society, Su Xiao would definitely be the first to receive the news.

The Sixth Division's headquarters was different from other divisions. The buildings here were clearly much taller, and the streets were wider, revealing an atmosphere of wealth.

In the three days in the Soul Society, Su Xiao had figured out the location of the Reputation Store, which was the logistics department of the Sixth Division.

After wandering through several streets, Su Xiao arrived in front of a courtyard, where Shinigami entered and exited from time to time.

【The Hunter has arrived at the Reputation Store area, the Reputation Store has been activated.】

【Hint: The Reputation Store is an absolutely neutral point.】

Su Xiao entered the building in the courtyard. This place looked somewhat like a pawn shop.

Behind the counter in the room, a thin old man was snoring loudly.

Dong, dong.

Su Xiao tapped the wooden table lightly. The old man behind the counter sat up and wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth.

"This... sir, welcome."

The thin old man looked at Su Xiao with a smile. Su Xiao was also looking at the thin old man. For some reason, the other party gave Su Xiao a very strange feeling.

He could determine that this old man was definitely not from the Shinigami world. There was no need to use the Apostle's Eye to detect; he could feel it just by intuition.

The thin old man handed over a list, the smile on his face meaningful. Seeing this cunning smile, that sense of familiarity became stronger.

Su Xiao could determine that he had definitely seen this old man, and it was in another world. As for which world, he couldn't recall for a moment.

If judged by appearance, Su Xiao was seeing this thin old man for the first time, but the cunning and sly aura of the other party made Su Xiao very familiar.

"Have we met?"

Su Xiao took the list. He didn't rush to check the items in the Reputation Store, but kept staring at the thin old man.

"Hehehe, sir, you are overthinking. This is our first meeting."

"Is that so."

Su Xiao's eyelids drooped. When the other party laughed, that familiar feeling was particularly strong, but he still couldn't think of where he had seen the other party.

Although he couldn't recall who the thin old man was, the good news was that the thin old man was an absolutely neutral party and would not favor anyone. Thinking of this, Su Xiao focused his attention on the list in his hand.

A virtual screen appeared before Su Xiao's eyes. This was an item list.

【Shihakusho (Soul Left Knight)】

Origin: Shinigami

Quality: Gold Set

There were a large number of equipment, props, etc., on the list that could be exchanged, but in Su Xiao's view, only two items had exchange value, which were 【Spirit Remains】 and 【Wind and Elegance】.

If considering gains and losses, spending 10000 Seireitei Reputation points to exchange for a Zanpakuto and finally letting the Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan devour it was a loss. The Shinigami world was not short of Zanpakuto. Moreover, after the Supreme Blade broke through the upper limit, it could be swallowed alive. He had done this in the Akame ga Kill world.

The so-called swallowing alive was to defeat or kill a Shinigami and then directly use Zhan Checking Zhan Long Shan to devour the other party's Zanpakuto, rather than swallowing it after obtaining it through a treasure chest. Doing this would yield less blade value, but it was more convenient and didn't require luck.

Shihakusho (Soul Left Knight) was also quite good. It was a gold set, but the attributes were not suitable for Su Xiao. Plus, the exchange price of the five-piece set was as high as 39000 Seireitei Reputation points, so Su Xiao directly ignored this thing.

A single piece of gold set equipment was indeed not as good as legendary equipment, but if the five-piece set was gathered, it was equivalent to two or three pieces of legendary equipment. The same number of legendary equipment was superior to the gold set in all aspects.

After making a decision in his heart, Su Xiao turned and left the Reputation Store. Watching Su Xiao's departing back, the thin old man behind the counter stood up and rubbed his hands.

"Old friend, long time no see. Be careful, someone is monitoring you two kilometers away. Unfortunately, I am a neutral party now and cannot warn you. I really miss that time of 'hurting each other.' I don't know where Xiang Bubu-Teni went. After you left, Caesar is very lonely. Hehehe..." ===== CHAPTER 1474 =====
