Chapter 591: Byakuya's Betrayal, and the Lady's Collapse?
Upon seeing Rukia in a disheveled state, unconscious and held in the arms of his useless father, Ichigo immediately kicked his old man without hesitation, then began to inquire about the details.
Ishida Ryuken had already left, as a pure-blood Exterminationist, he was not skilled at dealing with Shinigami. But before leaving, he also indicated that the necessary equipment and instruments would be prepared in advance.
Rukia herself was not seriously injured. After Yecheng arrived, her injuries were quickly treated using the "Return Path."
T
"If you're talking about Sode no Shirayuki, she has already returned to the Soul Society, and she also said that she would always be waiting for you there, telling you to prepare yourself."
Yecheng's words made Rukia bow her head, and then she curiously asked, "Does Big Brother Yecheng already know about Sode no Shirayuki? Didn't she attack you?"
If Rukia's memory served her right, those materialized Zanpakuto in the Soul Society had their owners as their primary targets, but they would also attack other Shinigami.
"She did attack, but after realizing she was your Zanpakuto, I let her leave. It seemed she wasn't intent on fighting me either.
So, what exactly happened in the Soul Society? I received some information from Sode no Shirayuki, but I'm still confused about the situation."
According to what they said, Rukia's injuries seemed to have been inflicted by Sode no Shirayuki, but wasn't Sode no Shirayuki Rukia's Zanpakuto? Could a Zanpakuto actually injure someone?
"The Soul Society has fallen into chaos, and the incident began about a week ago. The Shinigami on patrol in Seireitei were suddenly attacked at night.
At first, everyone, including the Captain-Commander, thought it was just a regular attack. After all, the patrolling Shinigami weren't particularly strong, and they were only injured, not killed, indicating that the attacker's strength was relatively average.
For this incident, which was initially considered ordinary, the Captain-Commander ordered the Vice-Captain of the Second Squad, Omaeda, to investigate.
The next day, a patrolling Shinigami found Vice-Captain Omaeda unconscious on the streets of Seireitei."
"From regular Shinigami to Vice-Captain level being attacked, this matter gradually caught the attention of the Captain-Commander. After questioning Vice-Captain Omaeda upon his recovery, they learned that the one who attacked him until he lost consciousness was his own Zanpakuto - Hyorinmaru.
The captains of each squad were initially skeptical about the idea of Zanpakuto materializing and attacking Shinigami.
So, that night, Captain Soifon conducted the investigation personally..."
As Rukia spoke, her speech slowed down noticeably, and her expression became more dejected, indicating that what happened next was something she didn't want to see.
"So, Captain Soifon was also attacked and killed by her own Zanpakuto?"
Yecheng had a good relationship with the female Shinigami of the Gotei 13, except for his tsundere attitude towards the G-Cup Girl, whom he had lost to in the past.
Among the Shinigami Captains, Soifon was one of the few who was relatively serious and responsible. In terms of strength, she was also considered to be of average level among the captains, so it was surprising that she was defeated so easily.
"Captain Soifon was indeed attacked, and when she was fighting her own Zanpakuto and was at a disadvantage, Captain Kuchiki suddenly appeared there."
"I thought Captain Kuchiki was there to provide support, but in the end, he took the side of the Zanpakuto."
After hearing the whole story, Yecheng finally understood why Rukia had been so down earlier.
Among the Gotei 13, Rukia admired and looked up to Yecheng and Kuchiki Byakuya the most.
But now, Kuchiki Byakuya had become a traitor to the Gotei 13, and one could only imagine the blow this had dealt to her.
"Due to Captain Kuchiki's betrayal, Captain Soifon is now in critical condition, and more and more Zanpakuto have been materialized within the Gotei 13.
Once the Zanpakuto of the other division captains are also materialized, the Seireitei will be in complete chaos.
Because of Captain Kuchiki's betrayal as the head of the Kuchiki Clan, the entire clan is now under heavy surveillance. If it weren't for the fact that the Kuchiki Clan is one of the four noble families, they would have already been judged by the Central Forty-Six.
My sister refuses to believe that Captain Kuchiki would betray the honor of the Gotei 13 and the Kuchiki Clan, but due to her recent excessive worry, she has fallen ill again."
With Captain Kuchiki now wanted and the Kuchiki Clan under surveillance, the only person my sister could think of and trust is you, Yecheng.
I was able to return to the Human World because my sister used the Kuchiki Clan's private gateway to send me here."
Through Rukia's explanation, Yecheng finally understood the situation in Soul Society.
To be honest, even Yecheng did not expect Kuchiki Byakuya to betray them.
The stoic and aloof Kuchiki Byakuya, who only cared about his wife and sister-in-law, and always talked about the honor of the Kuchiki Clan, would not typically act in such a treacherous manner.
Moreover, the Kuchiki Clan is now facing a crisis of trust, and Fushiro has fallen ill again due to excessive worry. Given Kuchiki Byakuya's usual personality, it's unimaginable for him to remain indifferent.
"It seems I must make a trip to Soul Society."
Upon hearing Yecheng's words, Rukia, who was lying in bed, immediately threw off her blanket, determined to accompany him.
Kuchiki Byakuya's reason for betrayal is unknown, and now that Kuchiki Fushiro is ill again, Rukia is deeply concerned about her sister's safety.
Yecheng did not refuse Rukia's request because he indeed needed her help to access the Kuchiki Clan's gateway.
It's not that they couldn't use the official gateway, but anyone could see that with the Zanpakuto rebellion in the Seireitei, walking through the front door would be like walking into a trap.
"I'll go with you. I've wanted to beat up that arrogant Kuchiki Byakuya for a long time. I didn't get the chance last time, but now I can finally make up for it.
And since Fushiro took such good care of me in Soul Society, I must help her get some revenge!"
Hearing that Yecheng and Rukia were going to Soul Society to fight, Ichigo couldn't help but express his desire to join them.
