Chapter 174 - An Abnormal Situation
"All Hollowfied Shinigami shall be treated as Hollows and dealt with accordingly. I found no fault in my actions when encountering the Hollowfied Shinigami in the Rukongai this time."
The captains nodded in agreement as they listened to Kaname Tōsen’s explanation.
Indeed, decades ago during the Hollowfication incident, the nobles of the Central 46 had issued such an order.
At that time, if Yoruichi Shihōin, Captain o...

Chapter 170 - Disheveled, But Alive
Run!
Fan Li had never been so disheveled. Abandoning the comfort of the carriage, he fled with all his might through the mountains and forests!
Ten Nascent Soul realm guards and Lu Fubao accompanied him. Despite their best efforts, their escape was slow. It was due to the bottleneck effect.
Among the twelve people in the fleeing group, Fan Li had the weakest cultivation, only at the Foundation Building realm. He ran slow...

"And I will bear the consequences of my actions. I invited Captains Gin and Tōsen to assist me. I am already deeply remorseful for their injuries at the hands of Captain Ailin. There is no way I would allow them to suffer further punishment alongside me."
"Captain Aizen, your sense of responsibility is truly admirable," Ailin remarked, his eyes narrowing with a peculiar smile as he approached Aizen. "As a token of respect, would you like me to...

Fan Ming, Fan Chun, and Fan Yuehua entered the Dragon God Palace with smiles on their faces.

Fan Li was feeling rather dejected.
Originally, he had intended to have the three of them prepare for the establishment of the Great Jin.
However, he hadn't expected that Wang Ban alone would be able to handle most of the work in the early stages of ...

It was as if every action they took was within their enemy's grasp, as if everything they saw and heard had been carefully orchestrated by some unseen entity.

Within the Dragon God Palace in Peng City, the capital of the Great Chu, four identical Fan Lis were meditating and cultivating. Suddenly, one of them opened his eyes. He was unique.
Among the four Fan Lis, Tuan Tuan, the White Tiger divine beast, always nestled in his arms, fast asleep.

"Is that so? Why haven't I heard of this?" Fan Li was skeptical. The original owner of the body he had transmigrated into was also a learned scholar. Were there emperors who had visited Mount Yunmeng before them? Why hadn't he ever read about it in any books?

"Hadō #4: Byakurai!"
A cold, sharp voice echoed from above, followed by a bolt of lightning that struck Tōsen's Zanpakutō with pinpoint accuracy.

This answer, though standard, was wrong. Since Wanli's failed attempt, Fan Li had been pondering the answers to the three questions.
