Chapter 652 A Gift for Aizen
After deciding on the core concept of the action, subsequent discussions between the two became much easier.

Lu Li needs to fight against Yhwach in his peak state, so they might as well wait for the opponent to attack them. Of course, they are not doing nothing during this period of time.

First of all, Lu Li planned to use this time to train the Ichigo and Uryu duo who might be needed in the final battle. Secondly, he wanted to give Sosuke the things he had prepared in the space so that he could adapt first.

Finally, it was about his own affairs. He still had a lot of lifespan left in reserve. He wanted to use the Martial Arts Furnace to further deduce his Shura Sutra and see if he could raise his combat power to the upper limit.

The essence of Shura Jue is a martial art. Lu Li wondered if he could use enough skills to deduce it, whether he could make it have a certain degree of high blessing on himself in normal state and maintain its explosive ability characteristics.

"Oh? This forging technique doesn't look like that of a Death God, nor does it look like that of a Quincy. It's truly something amazing."

Aizen was very curious as he took the two pieces of equipment Lu Li gave him.

"Don't ask where it comes from. Try it on and see if it works for you."

Lu Li was also very curious whether the equipment in the space could be directly effective when worn by the natives.

"Although it's a good treasure, I still find it a little strange that Lu Jun gave it to me."

Aizen sighed, because the two pieces of equipment he received were a necklace and a ring.

The ring was more in line with his aesthetic taste, but he was not impressed by the necklace. Fortunately, these equipments were magical and could be hidden after being worn.

"Mr. Aizen is so cunning..."

Ni Lu said dissatisfiedly, and then looked at Lu Li, "Li, I want it too!"

Lu Li was a little embarrassed. He fumbled around in the storage space and found an epic ring that he had opened from the Dead Man's Treasure Chest but had not sold. He threw it to Ni Lu.

Although the effect of this level of ring is no longer effective on Nilu's strength, the other party still seems very happy and stopped making trouble immediately.

But after giving the ring to Nilu, Lu Li felt the gazes of other virtual beings.

Helplessly, he could only continue to search in the storage space, and gave local specialties from the space to each virtual being, including Xiao Wu, under the pretext that they were bought during his travels.

"It's amazing... I didn't know that external objects could increase my strength in this way."

After putting on the necklace and ring, Aizen's eyes lit up and he was obviously very interested in this field of power that was unknown to him.

Lu Li had a lot of money left before entering the mission world. At that time, Chu Chu asked him why he bought those instead of his own equipment. Lu Li actually brought them as gifts for Aizen.

It is not accurate to call it a gift. After all, if he wants to fight Yhwach, he will most likely need Aizen's assistance. Therefore, if the opponent is stronger, it will be beneficial for him to conquer this world.

These two pieces of mythical equipment are respectively specialized in spell attack power and mind control strength.

In the later stages, Aizen's Kidō output ability was extraordinary, and his Kyoka Suigetsu could even interfere with the seventh-level Yhwach, so Lu Li felt that there was absolutely nothing wrong with enhancing Sosuke's output and control ability.

…………

When Lu Li and Aizen were communicating how to use the new power and were busy making arrangements in the Hueco Mundo.

In Soul Society, however, a completely different scene was unfolding.

Under the captain's order, the Gotei corps thoroughly investigated the suicide of all members of the Forty-sixth Chamber. Although they committed suicide due to an illusion, the evidence of their crimes they left behind was solid.

To be clear, Lu Li was guilty of killing all the members of Room 46, but they would not pretend not to see the evidence of Room 46's crimes.

After a thorough investigation, they were shocked to find that the evidence left by these people was all true, and in the case of Rukia Kuchiki, it was the Forty-Sixth Chamber that sentenced Rukia Kuchiki to death purely out of personal feelings and following the instructions of the Tsunayashiro family.

After a personal investigation by the Gotei 13, they overturned Rukia's case. Since the identity of Ichigo Kurosaki was confirmed, he was a descendant of the Shiba family, one of the original five noble families, and possessed the power of the god of death. Therefore, the claim that Rukia privately passed on the power of the god of death to humans was simply not true.

In fact, after Kurosaki Ichigo broke into Soul Society, the power of the god of death he used had nothing to do with Rukia anymore. It was entirely his own power.

The incident became such a big deal that the special envoy of the Second Division went to the human world in person and found Kurosaki Isshin to collect evidence.

Finally, Ichigo Kurosaki's identity was confirmed, and everyone suddenly understood why Lu Li would personally help Ichigo Kurosaki to rescue people. It turned out that Ichigo Kurosaki was Lu Li's apprentice's grandson.

After all the truth came out, everyone felt even more complicated, because Lu Li did not do anything against the law. He just came to help one of his apprentices and save the wronged sister of another apprentice.

Faced with the corruption in Room 46, he had no choice but to resort to this last resort to make the truth known.

But in the end, the affair between Ichigo Kurosaki and Rukia was whitewashed, but he himself was burdened with more sins, and now he can never return to the Soul Society.

"Master... So that's how it is..."

Ichigo recovered from his injuries in the Fourth Division and listened to Captain Unohana telling him the whole story. He felt touched but also guilty.

He felt that if this incident had not happened, given the relationship between the Gotei 13 and the master, the master would have been able to return.

But in the end, the master was forced to go into exile in Hueco Mundo and became a person who could not return home.

In Ichigo Kurosaki's opinion, Hollows are opponents he kills on a daily basis, and the Hueco Mundo is definitely a gloomy and scary place. If the master goes there, even if he is powerful enough to overwhelm all the Hollows, he may not be happy.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts...why don't we let Inoue-san do it instead!"

On the other side, a noisy sound brought Ichigo Kurosaki back to reality. He turned around and saw that a newcomer from the Fourth Division was changing Ishida's bandage, but he wrapped it too tightly.

"Inoue..."

Ichigo came back to his senses, feeling a little worried, and looked at Unohana again, "Captain Unohana, when will Inoue be back?"

"It's hard to say. She should have just arrived at the Soul King Palace. That guy from Qilin Temple seems to be very interested in her. He should teach her some new moves. She will become stronger in the future."

Unohana said this in a calm voice, but she was actually not calm inside.

Because just last night, the Spirit King Palace sent an envoy down.

At first they thought that the people from Squad Zero came because of the chaos in Soul Society and the annihilation of the Central 46th Room, but Shudorashi Senjumaru from Squad Zero only went to the Technology Development Bureau and visited the death scene of the 46th Room, and never asked about the matter again afterwards.

Before leaving, they saw Orihime Inoue who was helping the 4th Division treat the wounded. They said that Orihime's abilities were very unique and they wanted to take her to visit the Soul King Palace and teach her advanced treatment techniques.

After hearing what the bigwigs of Squad Zero said, and hoping to become stronger so she could help Ichigo in the future, Orihime agreed.

But Unohana carefully discovered that although it was Kirinji who came to talk to Inoue Orihime, it was Hyoshubu Ichibei who gave Kirinji a look that made Kirinji move.

"Is that so? Then I will stay in Soul Society for a few more days."

Ichigo didn't think much of it and just thought it was a good thing.

What Unohana didn't say much was that she remembered that Lu Li was also taken there in the name of a visit, but he never came back.

"Eight Thousand Flows!"

At this moment, a loud voice sounded outside the room, and a burly man pushed the door open and rushed in, looking around and shouting, "Ba Qianliu, where are you?"

The person who came was Kenpachi Zaraki who was also recuperating in the 4th Division. He couldn't find Yachiryu after he performed Bankai a few days ago. At that time, he thought that Yachiryu had been separated from him in the battle and was not too worried. However, after asking the soldiers of each division, he still couldn't find Yachiryu, which made him a little anxious.

He was relieved at first because he knew who the invading robber was, and he didn't think the captain would harm Yachiryu, but the question was, where was Yachiryu now?
"Captain Zaraki, be quiet, there are wounded here."

Unohana narrowed her eyes and looked at Zaraki, which inexplicably made Zaraki go from being irritable to being calm.

"Captain Unohana, have you ever met Yachiryu?"

Zaraki inquired.

"No, I remember all the injured. As for Yachiryu, he must have gone somewhere to play, right?"

Unohana was not too worried. She was the chairperson of the Female Death God Association, and Yachiru was the president, so the two of them had a good personal relationship.

She knew that Yachiryu was a lively girl who often appeared out of nowhere, and she was also quite strong. Since Lu Li would not hurt her, there was no reason for her to die in the battle.

“Really… this guy…”

Hearing this, Zaraki became even more annoyed. He walked out the door and looked at the endless sky, "Where on earth did he go?"

Inside the room, Ichigo stood up and walked over to Chad, "Chad, are you feeling better?"

"I'm fine, thanks to Captain Kyoraku for showing mercy."

Chadu sat up and said that he was no longer in any danger.

"One - protect -"

The two were about to talk when a genki voice was heard from behind them, and then Ichigo was kicked in the back and fell to the ground.

The petite figure stepping on Ichigo was Rukia.

"Damn it, how can you greet a wounded person like that!?"

Ichigo stood up and started cursing, pointing at Rukia's nose, and the two of them began to quarrel fiercely.

But they both suddenly stopped arguing, and Rukia was the first to smile brightly, her eyes sweeping over Ichigo and the others, "Thank you, everyone."

"Don't do this again. I have something to discuss with everyone. Aren't we partners?"

Ichigo said, already fantasizing about returning to his old peaceful routine.

"Where's Orihime?"

Rukia looked around and was surprised not to see Inoue.

After Ichigo told Rukia the whole story, Rukia's expression suddenly turned ugly, "Oh no."

…………

In the shadow of Seireitei, the Invisible Empire.

In the space shrouded in the dim light of the spirit, there are stairs going up one after another. On the throne at the top, sits a lazy-looking black-haired old man.

Below, a row of Quincy were kneeling in an orderly row. No one dared to look up at this great face. They could only listen respectfully to the king's will.

"Your Majesty, we are ready. Once your power is fully recovered, you can take over the entire world in one fell swoop."

Captain Hasward of the Guards was at the front, kneeling respectfully on one knee in a standard knightly salute. His words were respectful and revealed a strong sense of self-confidence.

"In my dreams, I have seen fragments of the future."

Yhwach on the throne spoke slowly, "Hastwald, the original plan is cancelled. In ten days, I will personally conquer Hueco Mundo."

Haschwalth was somewhat shocked when he heard this, the plan they had discussed before was that he would lead a team to attack Hueco Mundo, and then His Majesty would lead the team to attack Soul Society.

In this way, they can take over both realms at once and aim at the Palace of the Spirit King.

But why did His Majesty suddenly change his tactics?

Could it be that your majesty saw some bad fragments of the future in his eyes?
No matter what, Haschwalth would not disobey Yhwach. He bowed and nodded, "Yes."

…………

Five days later, a special guest arrived in the peaceful Hueco Mundo.

In the gray desert, a group of people emerged from the space channel and looked up at the gray moon, feeling very novel.

"Is this the Hueco Mundo? It really is as eerie and silent as I imagined."

Ishida Uryuu spoke.

"Whatever happens, we need to find a way to find my master as soon as possible."

Ichigo looked serious, yet felt a little uncomfortable at the same time.

Because he found himself still so useless and powerless. He had clearly decided to become stronger on his own and no longer rely on the strength of others, but in the end, he found that he could only ask for help from his master on such an important matter.

"Is Manager Urahara really reliable? Didn't he say he could teleport us directly to Kyonyaku? But this place is too desolate, isn't it?"

Rukia looked left and right, but didn't see anything that could be called a building.

"The pointer the store manager gave me is moving. I'm afraid we are still 500 kilometers away from Xuye Palace."

Chadu was holding a pointer that was very small for him, with a scale on it that could indicate the distance to the target based on the changing length of the red column.

"This guy, this is not just a small error!"

Veins on Ichigo's forehead were exposed as he recalled Urahara Kisuke's slutty expression while holding the fan.

But now he didn't have time to be angry about this. Since he was teleported in the wrong direction, he could only hurry up and set out for Xuye Palace.

Because now within the Three Realms, perhaps the only one who is willing and able to help him save Inoue is his master.

Even if his master is unwilling to help him anymore, he still hopes to practice in Hueco Mundo. Even if he has to rely on his own strength, he will kill his way to the Soul King Palace and rescue Orihime.

Yes, just yesterday, Rukia's uneasy suspicion came true.

According to her eldest brother, the recent actions of Squad Zero were very strange. Perhaps something happened with the Soul King. It would probably not be a good thing to send a Fullbring member like Inoue who had special abilities to attack at this time.

Moreover, it was originally agreed that he would visit for one day, but four days have passed and he still hasn't returned, which shows that something has gone wrong.
