Bleach: From the moment I was invited by Squad Zero.

He walked with Tsunayoshi Tokinada without saying a word, quietly observing the surrounding environment.

After the two sides sat down and exchanged a few pleasantries, Tsunayoshi Tokinada went straight to the point about his purpose.

"Head of the Yanlong family, I am here on behalf of the Tsunayo family, hoping that the Ryudoji family can become an affiliated family of the Tsunayo family."

In return, the Tsunayo family can use their influence to help the Ryudoji family rejoin the Soul Society, ending their thousand-year exile.

After listening, Ryudoji Genryu remained silent for a while, then slowly shook his head, a mocking smile appearing on his lips.

He said, "It's too late now. If you had come to me with this suggestion hundreds of years ago, I might have seriously considered it."

But today, most of the Ryudoji family members have died one after another in the harsh environment of the Dangai.

He paused, his tone carrying a resolute air born of experience.

“Head of the Tsunayoshi family, if you have come here specifically for this matter, then I can only refuse your kindness. The Ryudoji family no longer has any need to return to Soul Society.”

Despite Ryudoji Genryu's rejection, Shitan's smile didn't lessen; instead, it deepened.

He slowly picked up the teacup, took a sip, and only spoke slowly after setting the cup down:

"Then what if I told you that the next Soul King will be someone from our Tsunayashiro family?"

These words echoed in the room like a thunderclap.

Ryudoji Genryu's pupils contracted instantly, and surprise appeared on his usually weathered expression.

His voice was filled with disbelief.

"...What do you mean by this? The next Spirit King? That's a key figure in maintaining the balance of the Three Realms!"

If the next Soul King is controlled by your Tsunayashiro family... then your Tsunayashiro family will possess supreme power, overwhelming all other nobles!!!

"But where is the next Spirit King?"

Tsunayoshi Tokina smiled, then slowly raised his hand and pointed to the little boy who had been sitting next to him. "That's him."

Ryudoji Genryu looked in the direction Tsunayoshi Tokina was pointing, paused for two seconds, and then asked with a question in his voice.

"...This child? Head of the Tsunaya family, are you trying to make me laugh? This brat, who's barely out of his skin, you're saying he's the next Spirit King?"

Tsunayoshi Tokina was not annoyed by Yanlong's questioning. He gently stroked Sankina Hikoya's head and said, "Sankina Hikoya, release your power for Yanlong's family head to see."

Sankinohiko looked up at Tsunayoshi Tokina, then nodded in agreement.

He closed his eyes and then suddenly opened them again, a powerful force emanating from his young body!

Ryudoji Genryu's body involuntarily leaned back, his eyes filled with surprise and shock.

He could clearly sense that although the power was still very immature, its origin was unmistakable.

He had seen records of the power of the Spirit King in his family's inherited records, and that power was very similar to the aura emanating from the child in front of him.

Tsuna stroked Hikoya's head, his eyes revealing admiration and pride for a work of art.

Raising his head, he said to Ryudoji Genryu, "My current power is not yet perfect. The power of the Spirit King is not yet abundant, and there is still a gap between me and the true 'Spirit King'."

He paused slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes:

"Therefore, I need more Spirit King power, and the fastest way to obtain more Spirit King power is to seize the power of the Spirit King power holder."

Ryudoji Genryu frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Speak, what do you want Ryudoji to do?"

Tsuna leaned forward slightly, lowering his voice with the caution and certainty of someone plotting an assassination:

"I want to use your Ryudoji family's knowledge of the Dangai to ambush and kill Yanagawa of the Zero Division within the Dangai."

Upon hearing the name Yanagawa, Ryudoji Genryu's pupils contracted slightly again.

Although he lived deep within the Soul Society and rarely interacted with the outside world, he still had some sources of information about important figures and major events in Soul Society.

Yanagawa, a member of the Zero Division, is recognized as the strongest Shinigami in Soul Society. He once defeated Ryujin Jakka's materialized form, so this name is not unfamiliar to him.

After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Yanagawa... that guy isn't so easy to kill. He's the most powerful Shinigami in Soul Society."

A confident smile appeared on Tsunayoshi Tokinada's lips:

"Indeed, he is very strong, but precisely because of this, he needs to rely on the research on the Dangai that your Ryudoji family has conducted over the years."

The environment of the boundary is very complex and changeable, and the space is unstable, which are all advantages that can be taken advantage of.

If we can find the right time and place, and with the help of Urahara Hikoya, then there is a very high probability of success.

After a pause, his eyes gleamed with fiery ambition: "As long as we get rid of this Zero Squad member, we can have Sankino Hikoya take the Soul King's power from his body."

"At that time, we will be unstoppable. After our Tsunayoshi family controls the world, your Ryudoji family will also receive unparalleled glory."

Ryudoji Genryu remained silent, tapping his fingers lightly on the armrest as he weighed his options intensely.

The conditions proposed by Tsunayoshi Tokinada were indeed an irresistible temptation for the Ryudoji family, which had been exiled for a thousand years and was almost wiped out.

Moreover, as Tsunayoshi Tokinada said, they had nothing left to lose.

The Ryudoji family has already declined to this extent, and it can't get any worse. Rather than disappearing in obscurity in the Dangai, it's better to take a gamble.

Even if you lose the bet, it's just a premature step towards a predetermined ending.

After a long silence, he slowly raised his head, his eyes revealing a resolute look: "Alright, I, Ryudoji Genryu, representing the Ryudoji family, am willing to become an affiliated family of the Tsunayo family."

Chapter 243 The Crushed Rebellion

Once Yanagawa confirmed that Kurosaki Isshin had successfully mastered the basic methods of using magic, he did not linger any longer.

After briefly explaining a few things to keep in mind, he bid farewell to Kurosaki Isshin and left the open space in the suburbs alone.

Then the portal to Soul Society was opened.

When Liu Chuan's figure appeared in the passage between worlds, the portal behind him slowly closed, shutting out the night of the present world.

He stood in the passageway that severed the boundary, his gaze habitually sweeping over the surrounding environment.

However, just a few seconds later, Yanagawa noticed something was amiss.

When he last came to the Broken Boundary, there were also restrictive currents, but they were mostly scattered in the passage and did not have a significant impact on passage.

At this point, the density of the confined flow in the passage had exceeded the normal level by many times, and it was rushing around everywhere in the passage, forming one flowing barrier after another.

Moreover, the movement trajectories of these confined streams are not random; they seem to be guided by some force, gathering and intertwining in front of Liuchuan, vaguely forming one invisible wall after another.

Liu Chuan paused slightly, just as a loud "boom" echoed from inside the passage, causing the gray walls on both sides of the passage to tremble slightly.

As the distance drew closer and the noise grew louder, accompanied by rhythmic vibrations, Liu Chuan looked towards the end of the passage and saw a huge black shadow approaching.

Its size almost filled the entire passage; it was jet black, and something that could devour all light flowed from its body.

It is the Kyuto, the cleaner of the broken realm, used to clear away the accumulated spiritual particles in the broken realm, and has a periodic cleaning function.

According to normal patterns, Ju Tu will appear once every seven days, sweeping the entire boundary passage along a fixed route.

Liu Chuan remembered that when he crossed the barrier last time, the Kokuto had only just appeared. Judging from the timeline, the next Kokuto would not appear for several days.

But at this moment, it appeared here ahead of time, and it seemed to be heading straight for him.

Worse still, the surrounding currents seemed to receive some kind of command and began to rapidly converge.

They converged on the front of Liuchuan from all directions, forming an impenetrable gray-white barrier that completely blocked the way forward.

Liuchuan stood still, his gaze calmly fixed on the rapidly approaching Jutu and the road ahead, which was completely blocked by Jutu.

But he didn't show any panic or impatience on his face. Instead, he seemed interested, probably because someone was eager to make a move against him.

Meanwhile, figures dressed in the attire of the Ryudoji family were hidden in the shadows of the barrier, their bodies pressed tightly against the gray walls, almost blending into their surroundings.

Their hand seals were complex, and their spiritual pressure fluctuated at a unique frequency, resonating with the surrounding flow of energy and energy.

Their eyes remained fixed on Liuchuan, a confident expression on their faces.

The Ryudoji family has lived in the Dankai for a thousand years and has a very good understanding of its characteristics and rules.

Through generations of research and exploration, they have learned some methods to control the flow of people and can change the movement path of people to a certain extent.

Although this method is not 100% effective and will not last long, it is sufficient to deal with enemies who suddenly intrude into the barrier.

After learning that the head of the family was cooperating with the Tsunayo family with the aim of killing Yanagawa, a member of the Zero Division, they had already made arrangements for this in the Dankai.

Using their control over the boundary, they prematurely triggered the flow of water, blocking the path of Liuchuan's advance, and also prematurely awakened the turmoil, causing it to deviate from its original course and rush towards the direction of Liuchuan.

In their understanding, Kyuto can eliminate all obstacles, whether they are made of spiritual particles or otherwise.

Ordinary spiritual pressure attacks are useless against it; even powerful Shinigami cannot withstand the power of Kokuto.

Their plan was flawless, and they were brimming with confidence.

However, Liuchuan's gaze remained calm as he watched the approaching enemy and the road blocked by the enemy's current, with a composure as if he were appraising a landscape:

"Trying to use torture against me? That's quite a creative idea."

As the enormous black body of Jutu charged toward Liuchuan with unstoppable force, the entire Broken Boundary Passage trembled slightly under its crushing weight.

The enormous black shadow became a black hole that devoured everything, crushing towards Liuchuan with destructive power.

The retainers of Ryudoji believed this was a sure-fire situation; no one could directly confront the power of Kokutoku, and no one could survive the crushing force of the Dangai Sweeper.

However, just as the shokuto was about to collide with the Yanagawa River—

An incredibly powerful spiritual pressure suddenly erupted from Yanagawa's body!

Centered on Liuchuan, it spread outwards like a tsunami, scattering the surrounding streams.

The moment Kokuto's enormous body came into contact with Yanagawa's spiritual pressure, it was as if it had crashed into an invisible and intangible solid wall.

Its forward momentum came to an abrupt halt. The massive body paused for less than half a second, and with a deafening roar, Ju Tu's body began to disintegrate.

Many tiny cracks appeared on the surface, and the cracks spread outwards.

Finally, under the impact of Yanagawa's spiritual pressure, it completely decomposed into the most primitive spiritual particles and dust, disappearing into the passage of the severance without leaving any trace.

The severing passage returned to silence, and the path that had been blocked by the Flow of Restriction was now being pierced through by this powerful spiritual pressure.

Liu Chuan stood still, not even a speck of dust on his clothes, as if the Ju Tu that had struck fear into the hearts of all death was nothing more than a mosquito that he could easily swat away.

The members of Ryudoji Temple who were hiding in the shadows were completely stunned at this moment.

The scene that had just occurred to them kept replaying in their minds was the image of Kokuto, the irresistible manifestation of the law that had existed in the severance zone for countless years, being shattered by a Shinigami with pure spiritual pressure.

This is beyond their comprehension.
