Chapter 1195

"Since the mission is complete, we should leave now."

Su Han turned his head and scanned all the members of the Soyougong Society present.

"I'm fine with anything!"

Yu Qiyu lazily stretched out, his voice calm.

"I leave everything to my elder brother's command."

Luo Cuilian didn't care—whatever Su Han said, that's what it would be.

"How about... you all take a short break...! Let me host you all?"

Hei Qi Yihu hesitated, then extended an invitation to all the members of the Soyougong Society present.

"Hei Qi Yihu, don't waste your energy!"

Lan Ran chuckled beside him, "Every time the president completes a mission, he leaves immediately—he keeps public and private matters strictly separate."

"Do you think the president would break his habit for you?"

Hei Qi Yihu opened his mouth, then finally lowered his head with a bitter smile.

He had to admit, Lan Ran's words made perfect sense.

"Even if the president and the others wanted to stay as guests—"

"Wouldn't it be better to go to my Infinite Empire? The venue and atmosphere of the Infinite Empire are far superior to Hei Qi Yihu's home."

Lan Ran smiled as he delivered his final words.

Hei Qi Yihu was instantly speechless; he glared fiercely at Lan Ran and began grinding his teeth.

Damn it—does having power and influence mean you can do whatever you want? He was so envious... Pu Yuan Xizhu furrowed his brows, studying Hei Qi Yihu and Lan Ran with wary suspicion, keenly sensing the strange atmosphere between them.

Not like friends, yet not like enemies either... more like rivals who were also allies.

"... If I remember correctly, Hei Qi Yihu and Lan Ran have barely met before, right?"

Pu Yuan Xizhu's eyes flickered uncertainly; he studied Lan Ran and Su Han and the others again, realizing the atmosphere between Lan Ran and Su Han's group matched that between Hei Qi Yihu and Su Han's group—his heart sank.

He guessed... Lan Ran was connected to Su Han and the others as well.

"If this is truly the case, then it's troublesome. Pu Yuan Xizhu wanted revenge against Lan Ran, but that didn't mean he was unaware of Lan Ran's strength—even if they all fought at full power now, it would be nearly impossible to retaliate against Lan Ran."

If Lan Ran was connected to Su Han and the others, then he could completely abandon his desire for revenge... because the gap between him and Lan Ran, let alone Su Han and the others, was far too great.

"Hei Qi Yihu, guraguragura."

"Although we've completed the mission and are about to leave, that doesn't mean you have nothing left to do!"

Bai Hu Zi laughed heartily; his Observation Haki had sensed the situation in Karakura Town.

"... What do you mean?"

Hei Qi Yihu's expression instantly turned grim.

Su Han glanced at Hei Qi Yihu, then took over Bai Hu Zi's words: "Although we've completed the mission, there are still many undead skeletons rampaging in Karakura Town!"

A brief silence.

"... Is that so?"

Hei Qi Yihu gripped Zangetsu tightly, his eyes darkening as he nodded to Su Han and the others: "Then President, you all leave first. I'll deal with those... undead skeletons rampaging through this city."

"No need to go through all that trouble!"

Su Han shook his head.

Hei Qi Yihu paused, a flicker of confusion in his eyes.

Then he saw Su Han spread his arms.

Su Han's expression was calm as he activated the Divine Authority Storm: Thunder. In a single breath, the sky above grew thick with dark clouds.

Su Han's Observation Haki spread outward, enveloping the entire city beneath him—every skeleton in Karakura Town came into his perception.

Su Han's Observation Haki spread outward, enveloping the entire city beneath his feet, and every skeleton in Karakura Town came into his perception.

Su Han's voice fell.

Infinite lightning descended from the heavens; the entire city became a sea of thunder.

"... How could he encompass the whole of Karakura Town within his attack range—and perfectly control his assault so that only the undead skeletons were struck, not a single innocent?"

"... How could he have enveloped the entire Karakura Town within his attack range! And yet, he perfectly controlled his attacks, striking only the undead skeletons without harming the innocent."

Pu Yuan Xizhu calculated it instantly and was stunned.

But when he recalled the power Su Han had displayed earlier, his shock faded, replaced by a wry smile.

If it was Su Han, possessing such power was only natural.

The terrifying lightning came swiftly and vanished just as quickly.

Only a few breaths passed.

The lightning ceased; the dark clouds overhead slowly dissipated.

"... I've cleared most of the city beneath us. But I sensed a few undead skeletons had already fled Karakura Town."

"... I've already cleared most of this city beneath me! But earlier, I sensed a small number of undead skeletons had left the city."

"Those... undead skeletons that escaped Karakura Town—I'll handle them!"

Hei Qi Yihu gripped his zanpakutō Zangetsu tightly, his voice hardened with lethal intent: "No matter where they run, I won't give up—I'll slaughter them all."

Su Han studied Hei Qi Yihu deeply, sensing his resolve, then gave a slight nod and said nothing more.

He turned to the gathered members of the Soyougong Society and spoke calmly: "Since matters are settled, let's return."

Su Han closed his eyes and clicked to submit the mission.

The next instant, brilliant light surrounded their bodies, and Su Han and the others vanished into thin air.

The next moment, brilliant light surrounded the bodies of those present, and then Su Han and the others vanished into thin air.

A brief silence.

Urahara Kisuke gripped his zanpakutō, Kōgyoku, and glanced warily at the opposite side, his gaze lingering especially on Aizen and Yamamoto Genryūsai.

Kurosaki Isshin appeared to smile broadly, utterly unconcerned.

But he also clenched his zanpakutō, Sengetsu, preparing for battle.

Aizen stepped forward slowly until he stood before Kurosaki Hei Qi Yihu, glanced once at Urahara Kisuke and Kurosaki Isshin, his smile unchanged: "Relax—I've lost interest in both of you."

Or rather... I've lost interest in... that group of traitorous shinigami from the real world."

"If you don't provoke me, I won't bother with you! Of course... if you strike first—I'm certain the consequences won't be what you'd wish to face."

Aizen reached up and removed his glasses; now, his sharpness was fully revealed, overwhelming Urahara Kisuke and Kurosaki Isshin with intense pressure.

At the same time, Samael behind Aizen slowly lifted his head, his piercing gaze fixed on Urahara Kisuke and Kurosaki Isshin.

The atmosphere instantly grew: extremely heavy.

Kurosaki Hei Qi Yihu scanned Kurosaki Isshin and Urahara Kisuke beside him, then looked helplessly at Aizen and sighed, "Aizen, since the matter is settled, you should return to the Soul Society now."
