Chapter 1493: Telling You a Secret
The battle between Su Xiao and Komamura Sajin took place in the Rukongai area, not too far from the Seireitei. When the battle first started, the Soul Reapers living at the edge of the Seireitei had already sensed it, but they didn't appear. The Rukongai wasn't a peaceful place, and conflicts were common.
But after Komamura Sajin used Bankai, that massive spiritual pressure was sensed by the Soul Reapers, and they rushed straight toward the White Way Gate.
Near the White Way Gate, Su Xiao threw Komamura Sajin's corpse to the ground and walked toward Jidanbo's headless corpse not far away. He pulled up the massive corpse with his bare hands and saw a string of carvings beneath the corpse.
"Zozowei, Resurrection, Huang Quan, Rukongai."
From these traces, it could be seen that Komamura Sajin had been very hurried before, not even having time to leave a complete message.
Su Xiao didn't destroy the string of carvings on the corpse; this information was very helpful for his next plan.
"Shadow, stand by here."
As soon as Su Xiao finished speaking, Shadow darted out from the darkness. After his personal consciousness was sealed, his execution ability had a qualitative leap, but his strength had decreased somewhat.
Just as Shadow appeared, messy footsteps came from the direction of the Seireitei. Su Xiao took out an alchemy bomb and threw it near Shadow and Komamura Sajin's corpse.
After doing all this, Su Xiao quickly disappeared into the darkness, heading straight for the First Division barracks. With Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was integrated into the environment, opening the path ahead, Su Xiao soon arrived inside the Seireitei.
Su Xiao didn't return directly to the First Division barracks, but half-squatted on top of a residential house, his eyes closed. He was controlling Shadow's actions from a distance.
Near the White Way Gate, Shadow drew the Zanpakuto at his waist and slashed his own chest a few times. A large amount of blood splattered on the ground. With Shadow's strength, if he fought Komamura Sajin, there was a high probability of being injured, which was reasonable. As the saying goes, details determine success or failure.
After Shadow self-mutilated a few times, he picked up the alchemy bomb on the ground and squatted in front of Komamura Sajin's corpse, waiting silently.
The footsteps became clearer. After reaching a certain critical point, the surface of the alchemy bomb became scorching red.
Boom!
The sound of the explosion resounded through the White Way Gate area, the firelight dispelling the surrounding darkness and igniting several residential houses.
Shadow flew out from the center of the explosion. At the same time, a large group of Soul Reapers rushed to the vicinity.
"What's going on? That spiritual pressure just now, it really looked like Captain Komamura."
"Look over there!"
A Soul Reaper pointed forward, and the others looked in the direction he pointed. Everyone saw a man covered in blade wounds standing in the fire, with a corpse lying to the side.
"That is..."
Some Soul Reapers noticed the corpse on the ground. That white haori burning fiercely was something they were very familiar with.
"You lot over there."
Shadow flicked his sleeves, extinguishing the flames on his sleeves.
"Tell Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni that I'm back."
Shadow grabbed the corpse on the ground and threw it toward these mid-to-low-level Soul Reapers of the Seventh Division.
With a thud, the corpse landed. Several Soul Reapers immediately stepped forward. Very few of them had seen Komamura Sajin's true face, but they all recognized the captain's haori, as well as the character "Seven" on the back of the haori.
"Captain... Komamura?"
A female Soul Reaper spoke with a trembling voice, seemingly unable to believe what was happening before her eyes.
"Catch him."
"That guy escaped toward the Rukongai! Avenge the Captain!"
Several Soul Reapers with slightly red eyes chased after Shadow, but a moment later, these people screamed one after another. Even if Shadow couldn't use the Zanpakuto's ability, his various physical qualities were at the captain level, and besides, Su Xiao was currently controlling Shadow's body.
Shadow soon disappeared into the Rukongai. Su Xiao, who was in the Seireitei area, opened his eyes and headed straight for the First Division barracks.
5 minutes and 12 seconds later, Su Xiao, who was rushing at full speed, returned to the front of the First Division barracks. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang opened the path in front, and one person and one dog entered the wooden building of the First Division.
The internal area of the wooden building was very large; this was equivalent to the facade of the Gotei 13, as well as Yamamoto Genryusai's office.
In less than 20 seconds, Su Xiao returned to the room. After 40 seconds, he took a bath, dried his hair, and finally drank a pot of wine quickly.
After doing all this, Su Xiao sat cross-legged in front of the wooden table. Two simple side dishes and half a pot of wine were placed on the table, while Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang lay down beside the wooden table and fell asleep in seconds.
No matter who entered the room, they wouldn't think that Su Xiao had gone out before.
With a click, Su Xiao turned off a micro-speaker and a holographic projector. The micro-speaker played a drinking sound every 10 to 20 seconds, and sighed about every five minutes. As for the holographic projector, it was used to project Su Xiao's image. As long as one didn't enter the room and come to the front of the image, no one would discover that Su Xiao had gone out.
After doing all this, Su Xiao began to meditate. He had just made a move, so it was inevitable that he couldn't suppress his blood energy.
Five minutes later, shouting began to come from outside intermittently. Ten minutes later, rapid footsteps came from the wooden building of the First Division.
Su Xiao was still drinking wine in a leisurely manner. With a bang, the wooden sliding door was pulled open forcefully.
"Huff, huff, Lord Bai Ye, something terrible has happened!"
Nan Que, panting, stood in front of the door. She was out of breath when she spoke.
"Captain Komamura Sajin... has been murdered!"
Nan Que let out a long breath, walked quickly into the room, picked up the water pot on the table, and gulped down several large mouthfuls. Seemingly because she was too shocked, she couldn't maintain her usual ladylike demeanor.
"Komamura Sajin murdered?"
Su Xiao was stunned, looking at Nan Que with surprise. Xiang Ignoring Bubu Wang, who was lying on the ground to the side, secretly opened its eyes. After seeing Su Xiao's expression, it let out a long sigh. The appearance was clearly: "My heart is so tired, I'll just continue sleeping."
Su Xiao, of course, wouldn't show too much shock and bewilderment. After being stunned for a moment, he accepted the current fact. He had no personal friendship with Komamura Sajin, and when the news of the other party's death came, he didn't need to show any acting skills at all. Letting things take their natural course was the best acting.
"Explain the situation in detail."
Su Xiao, wearing thin clothes, casually draped a piece of clothing over himself. Nan Que began to narrate the intelligence she knew.
A moment later.
"Oh? Captain Komamura Sajin died at the White Way Gate. Coincidentally, I entered the Seireitei from the White Way Gate..."
"Shh~"
Nan Que's fair fingers were held in front of her lips, signaling Su Xiao not to continue.
"My lord, at such a sensitive time, you must not get involved with the White Way Gate. It is said that the guards there also died, in a very miserable way, their heads were cut off..."
Nan Que made a bitter face. Because she wasn't valued, she had always been in the Seireitei, so she hadn't experienced too many storms. Precisely because of this, when the news of Komamura Sajin and Jidanbo's deaths came, her first reaction was palpitations, and her second reaction was not to let her encounter that murderer.
"It doesn't matter. If I could gain the strength to defeat Captain Komamura Sajin, even if I were suspected, it would be worth it."
"Shh~"
Nan Que, barefoot, ran to the door. After confirming that there was no one outside, she returned to the wooden table.
"Lord Bai Ye, I'll tell you a secret..."
Nan Que bared her neat little white teeth and leaned toward Su Xiao mysteriously. ===== CHAPTER 1494 =====
