Chapter 35 - The Spark of Revolution
A month later.
Kanata and her crew, who had been fishing and hunting pirates near Drum Kingdom, were bored with nothing to do.
Sukura was busy, and George and the others who were left behind as guards were apparently being worked hard by Kureha.
"It's not bad to have some free time, but it's tough when it goes on for too long."
"Yeah... Hey, can I go out and have some fun when we next stop by?"
"As long as y...

Chapter 158 - The Prisoner
As Zhang Juzheng finished reading the imperial edict, everyone's expressions changed.
The Jiajing Emperor of the Great Ming! What a masterstroke!
The title of Grand Tutor, entry into the Grand Secretariat, and the rank of a first-grade official – such generosity! The Jiajing Emperor truly lived up to his reputation as the world's foremost emperor.
His boldness and Zhang Juzheng's strategic move were truly impressive. By reading...

Chapter 162 - Hisana's Courage
"Receive guests?" Hisana's face paled at Ailin's words and a flicker of panic crossed her eyes. Having grown up in the Rukongai, she was far from the delicate and innocent girl she appeared to be.
After encountering Byakuya and promising to spend their lives together, she had come to this place she could only dream of before. Yet, the more she learned about Byakuya, the heavier her heart became.
The more noble Byakuya's status, the...

"So, Captain Ailin, did you uncover anything in the World of the Living?" Jushiro Ukitake inquired.
"No," Ailin replied, dropping Ginjo's body onto the ground. "Ginjo believes that the Shinigami who attacked him belong to Soul Society. He sees no difference between them and the Shinigami who later came to question him. He wouldn't consider it a crime to kill the second group simply because of internal power struggles within Soul Society.

Chapter 160 - Unexpected Delight
Ailin abandoned the use of his other abilities and instead focused on honing the single sword strike, following the path laid out by his "past self." It was a promise he had made, to refine this technique into his ultimate weapon.
Closing his eyes, Ailin relaxed his body. In a single moment, his entire being unified, strength flowing from the soles of his feet, through his body, and converging into his right hand. Then, with a flash of...

"Follow this path up the mountain, and you will reach the summit," Master Yichuan instructed, his face flushed red, avoiding eye contact with Crown Prince Wanli.
As per the rules of the Guigu lineage, disciples were forbidden from going beyond the mountain's midsection. His role as a guide had come to an end.
"Hmph!" Wanli scoffed as he passed by Yichuan.
With the possibility of recruiting Guiguzi still ...

"The cause is likely the 'Witch.'"

Kugo Ginjo, aware his attack hadn't fazed Ailin, had used the chaos of the Cero and Yukio's game space to escape with his companions. Ailin wasn't surprised. However, as he surveyed the scene, his gaze fell upon a lifeless body lying near the remnants of the mansion, and a sardonic smile tugged at his lips.
It was almost laughable. In the midst of a seemingly ordinary battle, Ginjo had neglected to protect his own physical form. Whi...

On the tenth day, outside the Flaming Mountain formation, Master Yichuan paced nervously. Compound formations were notoriously dangerous, and a single misstep could lead to fatalities. His initial plan to punish Fan Li had inadvertently put everyone at risk.
“How could I have offended the Great Ming, Wei, Han, Wu, and the Brahma Sound Pure Land all at once?” he lamented, finally realizing the gravity of his actions. “Oh, heavens! I only pra...

"You, you, you... you used a Heaven grade storage treasure to store food?" Lu Fubao exclaimed in astonishment.
The rosewood box in Fan Li's hand was of a much higher grade than her own Sumeru Ring. Storage treasures above the Earth grade contained a faint trace of the law of time, stopping the flow of time for any items stored within.
This was why the steamed eight-treasure pork that Fan Li had just taken out was still steaming hot.

The six who landed on Drum Kingdom first set out to find a place to stay in a nearby town. While a rented house would be ideal, depending on the duration of their stay, an inn might be more affordable. They needed to explore their options.
"...So, which way to the town?"

The group, led by Master Yichuan, continued their journey along the mountain path. They finally stopped when they came upon a stretch of sand.

"Everyone, this formation is called the Flaming Mountain," Yichuan announced, gesturing towards the sandy expanse before them.

Therefore, he directly questioned Ukitake, "Captain Ukitake, since you've discovered that Ginjo was framed, why do you still want me to kill him? Wouldn't it be better to keep him alive ...

After glancing at the location sent by the 12th Division on the Denreishinki, Ailin tucked the device into his pocket and vanished into thin air.
"This is the place?"
Even with the reiatsu-limiting seal placed upon him, Ailin's speed still surpassed that of most captains. Within three minutes, he arrived at the location where the Substitute Shinigami Badge's signal had last been detected.
It was an opulent mansion, yet...

And not only that, he was the first to emerge!

This betrayal had driven Ginjo to rebel.

Desert rains were a force to be reckoned with.
One might assume that a region with such little rainfall wouldn't experience much during its rainy season, but the reality was quite the opposite.

This caused the Sandora River to swell and overflow, leading to flooding and other water-related disasters.
