After more than ten years, we met again in this way.

After Aizen and Natsuki exchanged a brief greeting, he asked Natsuki, “So, do you want to stop me?”

“Didn’t I stop you?” Xia Mu responded.

Aizen said nothing, but continued to unleash his own strength.

A powerful spiritual pressure burst out from the human body.

Although what Aizen separated was part of his own soul, what he separated was the purest part, which was separated when he had evolved to an extremely high level. After being separated, after being nurtured in the womb, this part of the soul has gradually grown into a whole. Because its level is high enough, the spiritual pressure of Aizen’s new body is also strong enough.

It doesn’t seem reasonable, but this is the rule of this world.

Those with a strong soul will definitely have strong spiritual pressure.

As Aizen’s spiritual pressure exploded, the Gate of Hell, which had stopped absorbing souls due to Natsuki’s previous influence, started to operate again.

An endless stream of souls were pulled in from all directions, and they continued to rush into the gate of hell to become sacrifices, to help the human boy Aizen in front of them to bring back the Aizen in hell. It was during this process that the gate of hell reacted first.

Its door opened, and the surging power of hell poured out from within. If you sense it carefully, you can find some power lurking behind it, waiting for an opportunity to move.

The ancestor of the five great nobles, Aizen.

In an instant, Xia Mu thought of these guys.

“It seems that those guys in hell are still unwilling to be lonely!”

Xia Mu thought so.

Yes, it is true that staying in an environment like hell for a long time can easily lead to depression. If there is any possibility of getting out, of course you must do everything you can to escape from that hellish place.

“But unfortunately, the Three Realms today are my Three Realms. There is no place for you!”

Xia Mu’s thoughts flashed, and he made this judgment.

As for going to hell and killing all those guys, he had no such idea.

But preventing the gate of hell from opening and stopping Aizen from opening the gate of hell is something that must be done.

After his thoughts came to fruition, Xia Mu gently raised his hand.

A magnificent slash was released from his hands.

Now he no longer carries a Zanpakutō, but sometimes, the sword is just a tool to launch an attack, just like the Quincy, who does not always need a spirit bow, and can use their fingers to release sacred arrows.

Xia Mu did the same. He raised his hand and slashed.

Click!

Aizen put all his strength into condensing the Gate of Hell, but this time the trend of absorbing souls did not come to an abrupt end, but was directly destroyed.

The destruction of the gate of hell interrupted the plans of those guys in hell to return. Faintly, one seemed to be able to hear roars and hisses coming from inside, which were the unwillingness of those strong men in hell.

But Xia Mu didn’t care.

He turned his palm over again.

As the gate of hell was shattered, the power of hell that was wreaking havoc on the world was easily suppressed.

Everything is calm and peaceful.

It was as if this door had never appeared.

Only the souls from all directions, which were drawn here by the Gate of Hell and now wandering around because there is no Gate of Hell and they don’t know where to go, can confirm that the gate really existed before.

Xia Mu also saw these souls and frowned slightly.

He pressed his palm into the air again.

As a result, some souls that had temporarily left their bodies immediately returned to their own bodies.

As for those wandering souls whose bodies had long been dead and had been wandering in the human world for a long time, they were led by another force and headed towards Soul Society.

In an instant, all the noise made by Aizen was resolved by Natsuki.

After witnessing such a thing, it was obviously impossible for Aizen, the instigator, not to be shocked.

After more than ten years of growth, he basically did not take any detours in this life due to his experience in his previous life. His strength was already very impressive. He only needed to open the gates of hell, bring back his predecessor, and achieve the ultimate leap. In Aizen’s expectation, even if the Gotei 13 found out about this, it would be too late, and he could only stop them for a while.

Unexpectedly, the Gotei 13 did not come, but Natsuki appeared in front of him first.

He was so powerless in front of Xia Mu.

With a wave of his hand, the other party destroyed the gate of hell that he had painstakingly created.

“So, you still want to resist?”

After eliminating all of Aizen’s back-up plans, Natsuki looked at Aizen in front of him and asked in a casual manner.

Aizen didn’t say anything, but raised his hand. Spiritual power gathered in his hand, and then spiritual pressure exploded.

He told Xia Mu the answer with his own actions.

Of course, we still have to resist.

Even though the strength displayed by Xia Mu was beyond imagination, if he did not resist at all, it would seem that he was too incompetent.

The battle started quickly and ended just as quickly.

Although Aizen’s strength is not weak, even if he is at the peak of his power at this moment, it would be easy for Natsuki to defeat him.

This stems from the crushing of life levels and the difference in dimensions.

It was just like when Yhwach faced Ichibei of the Hyoshubu.

As the oldest god of death in the world and the leader of Squad Zero, there is no doubt that Ichibei Hyoshubu is powerful. However, even so, when facing Yhwach who opened his eyes, he was still defeated at the first encounter. This is because Yhwach at that time had already crushed Ichibei Hyoshubu in terms of life level.

At this moment, Natsuki was in the same situation when facing Aizen.

Even though Aizen is very powerful, after the dimension he is in is different, Natsuki is like a god who controls Aizen’s fate.

He easily gave Aizen a defeat.

“I still lost in the end!”

Watching Xia Mu leave, the young Aizen sighed.

After defeating him, Xia Mu did not kill him.

Perhaps it was because to Xia Mu, he was no different from a stray dog ​​on the roadside and was not worth his attention.

Naturally, this feeling of being looked down upon is not a pleasant one.

But thinking of the feeling of oppression he had felt from Xia Mu before, even though it was uncomfortable, he could only accept this fact.

At the same time, he understood.

Don’t even think about trying to open the gate of hell again. Xia Mu will never allow himself to keep doing such a thing.

Xia Mu let me go this time, it was just his last act of mercy.

Although he was not killed, some backup plans and restrictions were still left on him.

As long as this ban exists, he will always be restricted if he wants to do something illegal.

“You want me to be a good person?”

After recovering from his defeat, Aizen couldn’t help but think so.

……

“You are late.”

Another place not far from Aizen.

A woman covered in a wide robe emerged.

She frowned slightly and looked at Xia Mu in front of her with an unhappy expression. However, considering Xia Mu’s current status, she finally bowed slightly as a salute to Xia Mu.

Whether it was the corrupt aura of hell that she sensed from Xia Mu back then, or the fact that Xia Mu later blasphemed the Spirit King, she hated Xia Mu very much.

But she had to admit that the continuation of the Three Realms today after Yhwach was defeated had a lot to do with Xia Mu. Perhaps when Yhwach was just defeated, there were other ways to maintain the Three Realms.

But after Xia Mu blasphemed the Spirit King and did such a thing, the other methods no longer existed and could no longer be used.

Unless one day, Xia Mu wants to destroy the three realms.

Otherwise, the best option at the moment is to maintain stability.

Apart from the fact that Xia Mu himself was a bit of an eyesore, everything else was pretty good.

Even now, the Zero Squad no longer has to stay in the Soul King Palace as they did in the past. They can occasionally wander around the Three Realms. This is why she appeared in the human world this time.

“It seems that this crisis has been resolved by you.”

Shutara Senjumaru spoke, his words filled with great certainty.

She also knew that the gate of hell appeared in the human world, and she was curious, so she came here. It would have been fine if she had seen the culprit, but when she arrived in the human world, the breath of hell had disappeared, and Xia Mu appeared nearby.

There is no doubt that even if there was a crisis, it was resolved by Xia Mu.

Xia Mu nodded and gave an affirmative answer.

After knowing the result, Shutara Senjumaru still had many questions in his mind.

But considering that the person in front of her was Xia Mu, she finally did not ask who had done it.

Turn around and leave without any hesitation.

Not long after Shudra left, some familiar people came into the world.

The leader is also an old acquaintance.

The captain of the 8th Division, Shunsui Kyoraku.

Unlike Natsuki who retired, although Kyoraku Shunsui is a captain with a very long career, it is still not an easy thing for him to retire. It can be said that as long as Ise Nanao is still in the Gotei 13, he must serve as the captain in order to protect his niece.

He was not confident in letting anyone else serve as the captain of the Eighth Division.

“You’re late.”

Natsuki showed up on his own initiative and greeted Kyoraku Shunsui.

No extra words were said.

When Kyoraku Shunsui saw Natsuki, he showed a look of understanding.

“We are indeed late.”

He knew that the problems in the present world had definitely been solved by Xia Mu, so he frankly admitted the fact that he was late, and then asked Xia Mu, “So, what happened before?”

“It’s hard to explain the details in a few words, so let’s go back to Soul Society and talk about it.”

Natsuki had no intention of telling Kyoraku Shunsui about this.

Kyoraku Shunsui nodded. Although he was full of doubts, he did not ask any more questions.

After returning to Soul Society, Natsuki wrote a brief report on what happened in the real world.

Although he had long retired from the position of captain of the Gotei 13, who asked that this matter involve Aizen?

It is more reasonable to inform the Gotei 13.

After doing these things, Xia Mu began to enjoy his retirement life again.

Leisurely and comfortable, no need to think about fighting, just enjoy it.

“It’s been such a long time no see!”

On this day, at the training ground below the Bipolar Hill.

Ye Yi smiled and took the initiative to greet Xia Mu.

“You’re back.”

Xia Mu put down the teacup in his hand and greeted Yoruichi.

“Is this your masterpiece? You’ve done a really good job in transforming this place.” Yoruichi looked around the secret base. Once upon a time, this place was specially opened up by her and Urahara Kisuke for training. Apart from the hot springs used for healing, the place could be said to be extremely desolate.

After all, it is just a place for training, not a place to live.

But that’s not the case now.

I don’t know when this place has been turned into a leisure room. It has everything for eating, drinking and having fun, and the original hot springs have also been preserved. After having fun, you can soak in the hot springs and relax for a while.

There is no doubt that this is Xia Mu’s work.

After all, only a few people know about this base.

And Urahara Kisuke has become increasingly busy over the past decade.

It can be said that the greater the changes in Soul Society, the busier Urahara Kisuke becomes.

Of course, Urahara Kisuke also likes this rhythm. After all, he is a person who loves to study.

Ye Yi’s figure flashed and came in front of Xia Mu. Looking at Xia Mu who was drinking tea, he smiled and said, “What’s the point of tea?”

“Is there any wine?”

“The wine is over there, go get it yourself.” Xia Mu pointed in a direction.

Ye Yi didn’t hesitate to go over and get a bottle of wine, then opened the cork and drank directly from it.

“Wine tastes better than tea.”

Putting down the bottle again, Ye Yi said this.

Xia Mu smiled and said nothing.

Ye Yi added: “I really miss it!”

“What do you miss?”

Natsuki finally spoke and asked Yoruichi.

“I miss the time when I met you.”

There was a look of remembrance and reminiscence in Ye Yi’s eyes.

She vaguely remembered that she became interested in Xia Mu because she saw him practicing alone. She took the initiative to say hello to him. She never thought that her sudden interest would allow her to gain a friend with whom she could stay together for many years.

No, maybe it’s not as simple as just a friend.

Ye Yi thought of something his parents had said to him many years ago.

At that time, Yushiro was not yet born.

As the only female head of the Shifengyuan family throughout the generations, she shoulders the responsibility of expanding and continuing the Shifengyuan family.

Marrying a son-in-law is the best choice. Xia Mu was once his choice, but because of Xia Mu’s special identity, such words were never spoken in the end.

After that, Yushiro was born and the matter was put on hold.

It was not until she retired from her position as the head and no longer served as captain that she traveled around the world over the years and witnessed many things. Finally, she began to think about her own lifelong event.

As his thoughts turned, Ye Yi couldn’t help but ask Xia Mu: “So, you plan to live alone for the rest of your life like this?”

“Have you considered finding a partner?”

After Yoruichi finished speaking, he looked at Xia Mu with burning eyes.

Xia Mu felt Yoruichi’s gaze, and even more so, he sensed Yoruichi’s heart.

He also raised his eyes and looked at Ye Yi.

“I wonder, would you be willing to be my partner?”

These were extremely straightforward words coming out of his mouth.

The two of them smiled at each other, saying nothing. (End of this chapter)
