Chapter 457: Yecheng Betrays the Soul Society?
Chapter 457: Yecheng Betrays the Soul Society?
Shui Fen, who was already in a state of shock, froze in place upon hearing Yecheng's unexpected words.
Indeed, as the Second Division responsible for criminal detention, the Second Division had a formidable intelligence system, and Yecheng had already used his Zanpakuto, Beyond, several times.
Although most of the Gotei 13 Shinigami were still unaware of its capabilities, more than half of the captains had already learned of Yecheng's Zanpakuto's power.
The release command, "Reversing Cause and Effect, Misfortunes and Blessings Intertwined," granted the formidable ability to convert the user's positive and negative effects.

After resolving the hidden danger left by Sparrow Bee, Yecheng easily broke free of Shui Fen's restraints and threw her aside.
As for Genryusho Tsozen, who was already in his Full Release state, he was completely stunned at this moment, unsure if he was the antagonist or the protagonist.
Weren't blackened characters supposed to be three times stronger? Why was his power increasing so rapidly, while the opponent, who had undergone blackening, remained weak? Sensing Yecheng's immense spiritual pressure, Genryusho Tsozen felt helpless. He could sense that Yecheng's state during his fight with Shui Fen was entirely different from when they fought.
Yecheng seemed to be fighting fiercely against Shui Fen but was holding back, yet against Genryusho Tsozen, he was genuinely trying to finish him off! Could it be because Shui Fen was a female captain, and Genryusho Tsozen was blind?
In any case, Genryusho Tsozen, sensing a threat to his life, hesitated at this moment, wondering if he should use his Hollowification ability.
Indeed, Genryusho Tsozen had joined the Gotei 13 under Aizen's command long before, and they had already made thorough preparations in the Hollow Realm decades ago.
To enhance his combat power, Aizen had granted him a mature Hollowification ability, so Genryusho Tsozen was already skilled in Hollowification techniques.
Although this "Hollowification" did not transform his body into a complete Hollow, Genryusho Tsozen could still manifest a Hollow Mask, just like his 'Masked Army.'
In his "Hollowified" state, his spiritual pressure could surge, but using such an ability in the Seireitei meant exposing himself prematurely, which is why Genryusho Tsozen was faced with a difficult choice at this moment.
"Tsk, you're lucky this time, but if we meet again, I won't let you off so easily."
Just as Genryusho Tsozen was about to make a decision in the face of the powerful Yecheng, the latter suddenly did something unexpected.
Yecheng put back on the hair tie and wrist guard he had removed, sealing his immense spiritual pressure once more. He chose not to linger and left without hesitation.
His 'Spiritual Awareness' had keenly sensed that two troublesome individuals were rushing towards him at an astonishing speed.
Mifune Retsu and Zangetsu, the first and strongest captains of the 13th Division, were likely drawn by the spiritual pressure he had unleashed, which was why they had come without an appointment.
To be honest, half of the captains in the current Gotei 13 had a certain relationship with Yecheng, and the remaining captains were not a concern for him. However, the two captains, Mifune Retsu and Zangetsu, were the ones Yecheng did not want to encounter.
It wasn't that he couldn't win, but he was worried that these two lunatics wouldn't care about friend or foe if they went berserk. They would show no mercy.
Facing these beasts and madmen who only sought bloodshed, it was troublesome whether they won or lost. If they lost, they might be killed, and if they won, they'd be marked for future retaliation.
The best way to deal with them was to avoid direct confrontation as much as possible.
Watching Nightshade leave, Genryusho also felt a sense of relief, and at the same time, he began preparing for the task Aizen had given him.
Due to Nightshade's sudden wanted status, the entire Seireitei was in complete disarray.
As the captain of Nightshade's division, Kasumi naturally didn't believe that Nightshade was a traitor. He, along with Shunsui, sought out their teacher.
However, even the Captain Commander's authority didn't surpass that of the Central 46. Just as the three were about to head to the Central 46 to inquire about the situation, Ichigo Kurosaki and his group invaded the Soul Society.
Originally, due to Nightshade's "betrayal," the entire Seireitei was already in a state of semi-chaos. At this moment, with the intrusion of Ichigo and his "Traveling Calamities," the Seireitei truly descended into complete chaos.
Compared to Nightshade's situation, the Captain Commander considered the invasion of the Traveling Calamities to be more important. After all, it had been many years since the Soul Society was last invaded by humans from the Human World.
Moreover, the primary duty of the Gotei 13 was to defend the Seireitei. Compared to the "traitor" Nightshade, who was once a member of the Gotei 13, the Captain Commander deemed it more crucial to eliminate the Traveling Calamities.
Soon, the second captain's meeting was convened again. Captain Kasumi and Captain Shunsui were tasked with investigating the hidden circumstances behind Nightshade's situation.
Other divisions were responsible for engaging the current "Traveling Calamities," namely, Ichigo Kurosaki and his group.
As for the other side, with the accompaniment of the Soul Society's local snakehead, Shihoin Yoruichi, Ichigo's group's invasion of the Seireitei was quite effortless.
However, upon entering the Seireitei, Shihoin and Yecheng discovered that the atmosphere in the Seireitei was peculiar.
After capturing a few random Shinigami and inquiring about the situation, Yecheng and the others were astonished to find that the reason for the chaos in the Seireitei was Nightshade's betrayal!
"Nightshade-kun betrayed the Gotei 13? That's impossible!
This must be some measure he took to protect Rukia. What is he up to? With the power of the Shihoin and Kuchiki clans combined, he couldn't even temporarily save Rukia's life?"
Upon hearing Yecheng's revelation about Nightshade's betrayal, Shihoin was the first to express disbelief.
Among those present, she had spent the most time with Nightshade and understood him the best.
"If Nightshade-kun had ambitions, he would have become a captain decades ago. With Nightshade-kun's abilities and strength, manipulating the Gotei 13 would be as easy as turning his palm."
But Shihoin was well aware that although his abilities and strength were formidable, Nightshade-kun was a slacker at heart.
A lazybones who spent his days finding ways to slack off, claiming to have hidden ambitions that could harm the Soul Society? Who would believe that? Shihoin Shihoin certainly wouldn't!
