After listening to Inoue Orihime's description, Urahara Kisuke fell into a somewhat confused silence.
Hell, who in their right mind can think of conducting ‘special training’ in that kind of hellish place?
Oh, okay, is it that man? That’s okay.
"It's because I'm too small."
Finally, Urahara Kisuke could only sigh helplessly.
"Sure enough, that guy is also helping behind the scenes?" Kurosaki Ichigo chuckled.
Suddenly he felt that the burden on him was much lighter.
Although this trip to Soul Society seems dangerous, at this moment he is not only accompanied by his companions, but also knows that there is a big boss behind him, so what is there to be afraid of?
That's it!
"So... now that the biggest problem has been solved, the rest is easy."
Urahara Kisuke exchanged glances with Yoruichi beside him, "Do you have anything else to prepare? If not, let's set off. Yoruichi will take you to Soul Society."
"Then what are you waiting for! Let's go!"
Kurosaki Ichigo rolled up his sleeves, looking like he was ready to make a scene.
"Then come with me."
Yoruichi took a catwalk and glanced at everyone, then came to the boundary gate and waited for Urahara Kisuke and Tessai beside him to activate the soul conversion machine.
"Follow me after you go in, don't get lost in there. Otherwise, no one will..." Ye Yi suddenly choked up in the middle of her words.
Well, she originally wanted to say that if someone is lost in the broken world, no one can find them there, and the people trapped inside can only wait to be swallowed up by Jutu, but the current situation does not seem to be like that. After all, there are
With that man's existence, nothing seemed impossible.
"Ahem... In short, the heart and the soul are connected. What matters is the direction of the heart. That is to say, you must have the will to keep moving forward! Don't be confused, don't be afraid, don't stop, don't look back, don't want to stay.
Something, just keep moving forward!”
In desperation, she could only change the subject and use beautiful words to deceive him.
After the words fell, Urahara Kisuke and Tessai also opened the spirit son conversion machine and the boundary gate.
"Let's go!"
Yoruichi's figure rushed in the moment the door opened.
"Walk!"
Everyone quickly followed suit.
Watching the group of people leaving, Urahara Kisuke fanned the folding fan in his hand with a helpless smile on his face.
Really, it should be a very serious matter, why do I always feel so nervous?
······
Not long after, a crack slowly opened at the edge of Soul Society.
"Ring ring ring——"
The sound like wind chimes kept ringing in the Seireitei, which was an alarm.
"There is a crooked reaction in the west outer area! A warning order is issued from areas 3 to 8! Repeat it! A warning order is issued from areas 3 to 8!"
"What happened?"
The Shinigami on patrol asked each other in surprise.
"Is it a 'travel disaster'? It's really rare, and warning orders were issued in several areas at once? How many people came?"
"..."
Abarai Renji kept silent and quickened his pace as he walked through the crowd.
"Finally...are you here? I've been waiting for you for a long time."
There was a forced smile on his face, and a trace of sweat dripped from his forehead for no reason. This was caused by nervousness.
Just like a guy who is supposed to be a good person always feels a little uneasy before he prepares to do something bad, he is probably in this state now.
······
"Is this Soul Society?"
The crowd walked out of the crack smoothly, looking at the surrounding environment with some curiosity.
At this moment, they seemed to have traveled through time and space and returned to the past era, arriving at a quaint village that looked a little dilapidated.
There are almost dilapidated thatched houses on both sides. It seems that the people living here may not have a very good life.
"The God of Death lives in such an environment?"
Kurosaki Ichigo was a little confused.
The ‘God of Death’ is named after ‘god’ after all, but you didn’t expect the conditions to be so difficult?
"This is indeed Soul Society, but the area we are in now is not where the God of Death lives."
Yoruichi, who looked like a black cat, took a moment to recognize the direction and motioned for everyone to follow.
As she walked, she explained to several people, "Soul Society is not as beautiful as you think. The class system here has always been very strict. The area we are in now is the 'Outer District', also known as
'Rukongai' is the barrenest and freest place in Soul Society, and it is also the place where the largest number of souls live. The souls who were extradited to Soul Society were originally located here. And the place where the Shinigami lives is in Soul Society.
The center of the world and the most prosperous area, Seireitei."
"Huh? The soul will live here after death?"
Kurosaki Ichigo frowned and asked, "Rukia never told me that the conditions here are so bad. I thought it would be a very good place."
"It's better than wandering around the world and becoming a Hollow, right? At least you won't feel hungry if you stay here, and you can still struggle to survive no matter how difficult it is..."
Ye Yi sighed and stopped worrying too much about this topic, "Ahead, in that direction..."
"I know! That's the Seireitei over there!"
Kurosaki Ichigo chuckled and rushed over there impatiently.
There is no way, after Yoruichi said that 'Seireitei' is the most prosperous area in Soul Society, the rest is simply easy to identify!
"Stupid... stupid! Don't rush over so recklessly! It's very dangerous!"
When Yoruichi came to his senses, Kurosaki Ichigo had already rushed to the edge of the Seireitei rashly, and there... there was a high wall that divided the entire Soul Society into two and made it insurmountable for countless refugees - the Seireitei Wall.
!
A wall made of murderous stone fell from the sky, blocking Kurosaki Ichigo from the Seireitei.
"Tsk, tsk, I didn't expect that the pattern here is still the same after so long..."
Along with the appearance of Seireibi, a contemptuous voice murmured to himself.
Kurosaki Ichigo and others, including Yoruichi, were completely unaware that a figure had been following them.
Xuanhao sat leisurely on the thatch pile, looking at the high wall towering in the distance.
In his opinion, the entire structure of Soul Society has hardly changed from a thousand years ago to the present. The residences of the 'God of Death' and the 'refugees' are still as incompatible as ever, and the situation inside and outside the walls is naturally the same as it was a thousand years ago.
Makes people sad.
Because of this, he felt that the existence of 'Aizen' and 'Yhwach' might be necessary.
The world does need to be broken and recast, but one of the two people has too much selfish desire, and the other is too extreme.
······
"Oh... what a fool, I don't care."
Yoruichi covered the cat's face and shook his head, expressing his helplessness.
That guy Urahara also put in all the effort to prevent them from being discovered soon when they came to Soul Society, and deliberately faked several abnormal spiritual power fluctuations to confuse the judgment of the Shinigami in the Seireitei, but it was all in vain.
The Seirei Wall has been lowered, and what stands in front of Kurosaki Ichigo is a giant gate that is insurmountable.
In front of the door, a figure as towering as a mountain slowly stood up, and its elongated shadow enveloped everyone.
"It's been a long time since we've met each other..."
The figure murmured to himself, his tone seemed to be mixed with a little excitement, "In history... such things seem to be rare for thousands of years, right? There is no Tongting Certificate, but you still want to break into the Seirei Gate.
Man! Just let me, Sidanfang, entertain you well! Little devil!"
As he spoke, Si Danfang raised the giant ax in his hand and hammered the ground, causing smoke and dust to fill the air in front of the door with a deafening sound.
The ground was cracked by the powerful force, and the violent vibrations even made Ichigo Kurosaki unsteady for a moment.
He raised his head and looked at the big man in front of him, and a little cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
"What did this thing eat to grow so big?" Ichigo Kurosaki complained silently in his heart.
"Come on! I'm ready! You can attack from any angle! Come and fight with me for a while!"
Si Danfang looked down at the tiny figure in front of him, and excitedly beat the ground with the handle of his axe, beating a rhythm like a war drum.
······
Seireitei, inside the gate.
"Did 'Travel Disaster' arrive at the door so quickly? It really saved us the trouble of searching..."
Listening to the beating sound like a war drum coming from outside the door, the Death Gods probably knew that it was the Si Danfang beating the ground outside.
This drum-like rhythm conveyed the excitement of Sidanfang, so most of the Shinigami thought that the problem was probably not that big.
"Is everyone dispersed? I have never seen such a stupid "traveler". He went straight here and threw himself into the trap as soon as he arrived..."
"Yes, with the Si Danfang guarding outside, there shouldn't be any problems."
······
"He's so big...but he doesn't look very smart?"
Ishida Uryu also looked at the huge figure confronting Kurosaki Ichigo in the distance with shame.
"who is he?"
Chatata Taihu lowered his head and asked Yoruichi on the ground.
"well……"
Yoruichi, who looked like a black cat, sighed helplessly, "This guy's name is Gadanbo... He is one of the heroes selected by the Soul Society. He is also the current guardian of the west gate of the four Seirei Gates, also known as the 'White Road Gate'
By."
"Guardian? So you have to defeat him first before entering?"
Uryu Ishida adjusted his glasses and asked.
"Yes, but this is by no means easy. There is only one person who has successfully passed through the gate of the 'White Road' in the past thousand years." Yoichi narrowed his eyes slightly and said thoughtfully, "I originally planned to take you there first.
The 'stronghold' was repaired and then figured out a way to get in... This guy Kurosaki Ichigo is too reckless."
"Is he really that powerful..."
Uryū Ishida asked again, "After guarding here for a thousand years, only one person defeated him and entered?"
"No……"
Yoruichi shook his head slightly, "I already told you that this is the current guardian of the White Way... The person who broke into the door thousands of years ago made him autistic and retired..."
"Ah this..."
Uryū Ishida was a little embarrassed, "It doesn't sound like the so-called guardian of the 'White Way' is that good at all?"
"No, this only proves that the one who broke through the door thousands of years ago is too powerful."
Yoruichi ruthlessly poured cold water on him, "Every guardian is carefully selected from the Soul Society, and their strength cannot be weak. Even though the guy in front of you looks stupid... he is actually very strong. Legend has it that
He is so powerful that he can easily kill thirty Hollows with just one swing of the ax in his hand. After all, this guy has been here for almost three hundred years, at least no one has ever passed through here during his tenure."
"Thirty hollows in one strike..."
Uryu Ishida was thoughtful.
Doesn’t seem very strong? If there were only thirty ordinary Hollows, he could still achieve this level now.
He's not the only one who thinks this way.
Taihu Sadatari on the side seemed to have similar thoughts.
After the special training in breaking the world, he followed Xuan Hao to Hueco Mundo to adapt to his current strength for a while.
Although he didn't really face thirty Hollows at the same time, if it was just an ordinary Hollow, it would be easy for him.
"You know how powerful it is, right?"
Of course Yoruichi wouldn't know what these troublesome brats were thinking, "Let's call this guy Ichigo back first, let's take a long-term plan - eh? Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing!
?”
Before she could finish her words, she saw Taitora Sadatari, who was gearing up, and Orihime Inoue, who looked worried, rushing towards Ichigo Kurosaki and Danbo.
"drink!"
With a loud roar, the ax blade suddenly fell to the ground.
Click——
The ground was overwhelmed and made a cracking sound.
With just one swing of his axe, Kadanbo split the entire ground in front of him, and the upturned rock acted like a wall, blocking the steps of Sadatori Taitora and Inoue Orihime.
"...This power is indeed terrifying."
Ishida Uryu looked at the scene in front of him and commented lightly.
This giant-like guy didn't use any spiritual power at all, relying on the innate strange power brought by his natural advantages.
Such power is indeed surprising, but if that's all it is...it doesn't seem to be as difficult to get in from here as Yoichi said.
"..."
At this moment, Taihu Sadatari, who was only separated from Sidanfang by a rock wall, had the same thought in his mind.
He raised his hand and stood sideways in front of Inoue Orihime. His burly body blocked all the gravel brought up by the impact. The gravel hit his defenseless body without even leaving a scratch.
He could easily punch through such a rock now. The reason why he didn't do this was because the big man in front of him didn't seem to have any ill intentions.
If he had malicious intentions, he could have struck them with this attack, but this big man just lifted up the rocks on the ground to block their way.
"Don't you guys know the rules well? Are you from the countryside?"
Si Danfang raised his hand with some doubts and stretched out three fingers, "Listen up, there are rules in the city. First of all, you must wash your hands before coming home from outside. Secondly, you cannot pick up and eat things that fall on the ground. And also
...When you duel, you should come one by one."
"That...thing that lasts no longer than three seconds should be edible."
Inoue Orihime raised her hand and retorted weakly.
"Uh? Well..."
Si Danfang scratched his head, "You seem to be right...but...the most important thing now is the third point!"
