Chapter 686 The Missing Yachiryu
"How can there be so many of that?"

Lu Li said, "You can use tricks to defeat Yhwach, but this trick probably won't work in Hell."

"What should I do? My friends in the group are all waiting to see the melons."

Luo Mojuancai joked that he actually wanted to make more money in the stable world of the God of Death, and it would be nice to just follow Lu Li and get some benefits.

"If you can't take shortcuts, you can only fight with hard power."

Lu Li stretched and said, "Anyway, there is no time limit for the mission, so I can still improve myself."

Actually, he had only been in the world of death for two weeks, and he had been busy going to so many places that he had not had time to calm down and digest everything.

"Improve? Brother Prisoner, you don't want to practice in the mission world, do you? With such a short time, what can you do? How much improvement can you get?"

Luo Mojuancai had a strange expression on his face. It was not like he had not improved himself in the mission world, but that was in the early days.

When it comes to the realm of real attributes, if you want to improve through practice, it will take years.

But even if Lu Li's mission did not have a time limit, based on his understanding of space, it would be impossible for Lu Li to really practice in the God of Death for hundreds of years.

After a thousand years of bloody war, it is estimated that hell will undergo changes within a few years. If we think about the worst, it is not impossible that it will happen within a few months.

"Luo Mo, don't make such a fuss. It's a little slow, but it shouldn't be a problem to break through hell."

Lu Li said with a smile, in fact, he was already using the shadow clone to open the book.

But he is not simply practicing spiritual pressure, but continuing to delve into the advanced use of Zanpakuto.

As he said that, he stood up and patted Luo Mo Juancai on the shoulder, "I'll remember the favor you did me this time. If we meet in a battle in the future, I'll waive the life-buying fee for you once."

Luo Mojuancai looked at Lu Li's back, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, and thought to himself, I'm not doing this for this.

Lu Li jumped down from the roof, looked at Sosuke who was busy with his official duties, said hello, and went out for a stroll.

This is what it means to be free and easy. Let the job of captain be left to those who like to worry.

He walked all the way to the 9th Squad's barracks, and Tosen Kaname seemed to have been waiting there for a long time.

"Captain Lu."

Dongxian wanted to salute respectfully. He knew the relationship between Lu Li and Aizen best, and he also knew Lu Li's terrifying strength.

"Let's go, Sosuke's document has been approved, let's do this cleanly."

Lu Li took Dong Xian to a corner of the Soul Society, a secluded yet luxurious place.

This is the ancestral home of the Tsunayashiro family, the leader of the four great noble families. It has gone through many ups and downs, but it still stands firm.

A few minutes later, Lu Li stood in the dead silent garden of Tsunayashiro's house, looking at Tsunayashiro Tokinada below him with his Rinnegan.

"You didn't think I forgot about you?"

Lu Li said as he looked down at the man at his feet.

"Land from……"

This fox-like man couldn't laugh at this moment and could only look at Lu Li with a vicious look.

But no matter what abilities his Zanpakutō copied, it could never be a match for Lu Li. In the face of absolute spiritual pressure, all those fancy abilities were of no use at all.

"Two hundred years ago, you were the one who set up a trap to frame me and expel me from Soul Society. You also put in a lot of effort, and all the forty-six chambers were destroyed. You don't think you're fine, do you?"

Lu Li asked with a smile, "I'm not that magnanimous."

"Lu Li, what good will it do you to kill me? The Tsunamishiro family is the head of the four great noble families and has the merit of creating the world. If you exterminate the Tsunamishiro family, aren't you afraid of the captain's wrath?"

Tsunayashiro Tokinada still wanted to argue for his life and tried to shake Lu Li's murderous intentions.

But Lu Li just smiled and crushed Tsunayashiro Tokinada's chest with his foot, dispersing his spiritual pressure, "Tsunayashiro-sama, times have changed. Is the captain-in-chief you mentioned Sosuke?"

Tsunayashiro Tokinada was speechless for a moment and simply closed his eyes.

Lu Li untied his feet and walked towards the door, "Yes, I'll leave it to you."

"Yes."

Tosen Kaname straightened his expression and walked towards the disabled Tsunayashiro Tokinada.

The screams from Tsunayashiro's house continued for a long time.

…………

"Captain, haven't you seen Yachiryu either?"

In the 11th Division's barracks, Kenpachi Zaraki asked with a frown. He had been searching for Yachiryu for many days but to no avail.

The soldiers of the 11th Division were even more silent in the face of their impatient captain. They all wanted to say that Vice Captain Kusaka might have met with an accident in the chaos of the battle, but no one dared to speak.

Kenpachi Zaraki knew that there was a possibility that Yachiryu had died in the chaos of the battle, but his reckless intuition told him that Yachiryu was not dead, and even seemed to be not far from him.

"You fool."

Lu Li put down the wine jar and said, "Didn't you come to me to drink? It turns out to be this."

"Captain, this is no small matter."

Zaraki scratched his head. For him, it was rare for him to show his concern for someone, but Yachiru was different. "Yachiru has been missing for two weeks. She has never been away from me for that long."

"That's not what I'm talking about."

Lu Li pointed at Zaraki's chest, "Isn't the Yachiryu right here?"

"Captain, are you drunk?"

Zaraki looked confused, "You don't look like a literary type, are you trying to say that Yachiryu lives on in my heart?"

"That's pretty much what it means."

Lu Li nodded.

"what?"

Zaraki was a little annoyed, "Captain, are you really not kidding?"

"I'm not telling you about idealism, but I'm saying that Yachiryu is right there with you."

Lu Li sighed, "Zaraki, you can use Bankai, but you still use the power of your Zanpakutō roughly. I understand your feelings and your personality, but why don't you try to communicate with your Zanpakutō?"

Geng Mu was a little suspicious, but the person in front of him was the captain he respected the most, so he controlled his temper.

He slowly tried to calm down, and prepared to use the method that Master Yamamoto had taught him to resonate with his Zanpakutō, to enter the spiritual world and look at his own nature.

To be honest, this was the first time he tried to communicate with his Zanpakutō in this way. In the past, he would just pick up the sword and slash violently. Even when he used his Shikai and Bankai, he used his powerful talent and absolute spiritual pressure to display them wildly.

After Zaraki entered the spirit world of his Zanpakutō, he suddenly heard a familiar voice.

"Ajian."

Zaraki was a little surprised to hear the voice, and turned around to look around, "Yachiryu, Yachiryu, where are you!?"

As the saying goes, a tough guy has a soft heart. This is the captain that the soldiers of the 11th Squadron would never dream of seeing. It is hard to imagine that Zaraki would have such an anxious and worried look on his face.

After a while, the dark environment gradually brightened up, and the figure of a pink-haired girl appeared in front of Zaraki. It was Yachiru Kusaka.

"Yachiryu!? Why are you here?"

Zaraki's mind hadn't come to its senses yet, he just picked up Yachiru and put him on his shoulders, "You don't know I've been looking for you in Seireitei for a long time, but I couldn't find you."

"Ajian, you are still so stupid."

Yachiru sat on Zaraki's shoulders, swinging his legs back and forth, innocent as a child, "I am your Zanpakutō."

"What!?"

Zaraki's eyes widened in shock, thinking this answer was too ridiculous, "My Zanpakutō is Nosai..." Yachiru interrupted Zaraki, "That's right, but I was given a name by Aken, so I became a god of death and stayed by your side forever."

"This……"

Zaraki's brain circuit was simply unable to comprehend such a complicated matter, but when he met Yachiru again, his worries were somewhat relieved.

"Aken used Bankai, and Bankai can only be released when the power of Zanpakutō is complete, so I came back."

Yachiru explained simply.

"But……"

Zaraki looked conflicted for a moment.

"Ajian."

Yachiru's hand touched Zaraki's face, just like when they first met, the baby girl's tender little hand touched the rough big face.

"Ajian loves fighting the most, doesn't he?"

Yachiryu's voice was tender and gentle, "The power of Bankai will make you stronger and allow you to enjoy fighting more and fight against powerful enemies, right?"

Kenpachi Zaraki was silent for a moment. He regained his strongest power, but lost Yachiryu who had always been by his side.

After a long time, Kenpachi Zaraki exited the state of resonance with his Zanpakutō, looking somewhat melancholy.

"Captain, I found Yachiryu."

Zaraki said as he picked up the jar of wine and drank it in big gulps.

"It is not good?"

Lu Li understood that Geng Mu already knew the situation.

"Very good..."

Zaraki looked a little bewildered. He did gain powerful strength, but it was not every day that there was someone he could fight to his heart's content.

The Invisible Empire had been destroyed. He had indeed fought heartily in the previous wars, killing countless Quincy, but he also knew that such wars could not always happen.

Soul Society is more about peace, and peace should be valued. I'm afraid he will rarely be able to swing his sword with full force anymore.

If that’s the case, why did he obtain such powerful strength?
Was it just to make it more difficult for him to enjoy fighting and lose Yachiryu who was always by his side?
"Since Yachiryu is your Zanpakutō, if you want to communicate with her, you can just perform Zanpakutō resonance. She will still be by your side."

Lu Li said.

"But……"

Zaraki was a little hesitant, but he was not good at speaking and expressing his feelings, so he didn't know what exactly he wanted.

He always felt that this was not good. Although Yachiru could still communicate with him, he was no longer a real person, and he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"Zaraki, do you want to give Yachiryu freedom?"

Lu Li seemed to notice Geng Mu's dilemma and asked.

Zaraki's eyes lit up, and he finally understood what was bothering him, "Captain, do you have a way to make Yachiryu reappear?"

Yes, he just felt that this was not right. Although Yachiryu often stuck to him, he didn't always hang around him.

Yachiru is an independent individual. Not only is she the vice-captain of the 11th Division, but she is also the president of the Female Death God Association. She has her own life and friends.

But because he regained his power and used his Bankai, Yachiryu could only stay deep in his soul, which was undoubtedly cruel for such a lively girl.

"Zaraki, think carefully. Yachiryu is your Zanpakutō. It is part of your power."

Lu Li said seriously, "If you let her separate again, your spiritual pressure and power will decline. Is this what you want?"

For a battle maniac, of course he will pursue powerful strength.

Even though Kenpachi often suppresses his strength and enjoys fighting with others, it doesn't mean that he doesn't like being strong.

"Captain, let the eight thousand flow out!"

Zaraki said without hesitation, his voice almost shouting.

He really didn't want to decline in strength, but he didn't want to lose Yachiryu even more. Although he was obsessed with fighting in his life and had no interest in matters between men and women, he had never thought about getting married and having children.

But he inexplicably felt that if he had a daughter, it should be like this.

It was he who brought up Yachiru since he was a baby, and the two of them have been by each other's side all these years. How could he let Yachiru lose his freedom for the sake of his own power?

As for strength, he believed that he could become stronger again through continuous fighting and training, but without Yachiryu, who would be happy for him after he defeated the enemy?

"Although I had guessed that you would choose this, you really didn't hesitate at all."

Lu Li said with a smile, standing up and placing his hand on the Demon Prisoner Sheath.

"team leader?"

Geng Mu didn't understand what Lu Li meant, he really wanted to spar with the captain, but that didn't seem to be what they were talking about just now.

"Stand still, I am going to chop you apart with my sword, splitting your soul into two."

As Lu Li spoke, the spirit in his body began to rise.

He had thought about many advanced uses of sword intent, but they were mostly ineffective. Even the causal sword intent that he had used in the battle with Yhwach, he could not use it skillfully now.

However, he still had some confidence in the method of using soul power to cut the soul and body without hurting the two people's life and death.

The next moment, under Gengmu's serious gaze, Lu Li's Demon Prison Slash was swung out, the blade stopped on Gengmu's chest, but the soul intent penetrated his body and went straight into the depths of his soul.

He used the powerful power of the Rinnegan to lock onto Yachiryu's position within Zaraki's body, and with the power of his sword he forcibly severed Yachiryu's connection with Nosawa, directly separating Yachiryu into an independent soul.

When Lu Li put away his sword, Zaraki saw that Yachiryu's shadow had reappeared beside Zaraki.

"Call her name."

Lu Li reminded.

Yachiryu is an existence born from the depths of Zaraki's soul and must be given a name by Zaraki, otherwise it will not be able to exist for long after the soul and body are separated.

"Kusagi... Yachiryu."

Zaraki called out the name of the girl in front of him, just like he had named his baby girl for the first time.

Yachiru's figure solidified, and with a light leap, he jumped onto Zaraki's shoulder and sat on it skillfully, "Ajian!"

Lu Li looked at this scene and smiled.

He could understand Zaraki's decision very well. If power required the exchange of his loved ones, then power would be meaningless.

"Captain Lu, thank you."

Yachiru looked at Lu Li, thanked him politely, and then hugged Geng Mu's neck and smiled sweetly: "Ajian, thank you."

Zaraki looked awkward, "What are you talking about..."

He seemed to want to say something that fits his personality, but after a pause, his awkward expression gradually calmed down, and he showed a smile that no one in the 11th Division had ever seen, "I'm glad you're back."

When Lu Li saw Geng Mu and the Yachiryu members, he felt relieved. He picked up the jar of wine on the table that had not been finished and walked out the door.

"Captain? You're not going to drink anymore?"

Seeing this, Geng Mu asked curiously. He wanted to get drunk with the captain tonight.

"No, you guys should just reunite and reminisce first, we'll drink some other day."

Lu Li walked out of the 11th Squadron's dormitory and said, "I have something to discuss with Captain Shifengyuan tonight."

He had made an appointment with Ye Yi before, and since Ye Yi was free tonight, he would give him a late-night lesson.
