Bleach: The Strongest Kenpachi Starting from Signing In

Seeing this, Yoruichi's eyes lit up, and she grinned, "There's no time like the present, let's get everything done today."

As she spoke, she expertly reached out and pulled Ruyueming along, heading straight for the tea room. The two walked through several corridors and into the depths of the Shifengyuan family's residence.

Their close interaction also attracted a lot of attention.

After the two had walked away, whispers began to circulate.

Seriously, when did Yoruichi get such a close female friend...?

Soon, the two arrived in front of an ancient building, and a heavy atmosphere immediately enveloped them, as if a high mountain was pressing down on their hearts.

Regarding Yoruichi's Zanpakuto, it has been mentioned in both the official novels and the game's BBS. In the novels, it is said that she and her Zanpakuto are incompatible, while in the game, there is a fused form of the Zanpakuto, which shows the appearance of the Zanpakuto with the Shihouin family crest on the hilt. As for the original manga, Yoruichi also said that her Zanpakuto is not as powerful as Hakuta, so she does not use it.

Chapter 70: Using Exorcism as a Pretext to Conduct Secrets of the Spring and Autumn Period

Sifengyuan Ancestral Hall.

With its blue bricks and gray tiles, upturned eaves, and ancient architecture, the building sits under the interlacing sunlight, a light dust swirling around it, exuding an indescribable mystery.

"This is where my family's heirloom Zanpakuto is kept."

Yoruichi explained, "No one may take it out of the shrine before it has been approved by it."

On both sides of the shrine's corridor stood several death gods, their bodies completely shrouded in black. Their auras were suppressed to the extreme, and if Yoruichi hadn't reminded them, Ruyueming wouldn't have even noticed them.

There wasn't even the slightest fluctuation of spiritual pressure.

"Stop looking around, this is a secret technique of the covert mobile force."

"I will personally teach you after you join the Second Division."

Yoruichi, holding Asuka's hand, walked casually toward the ancestral hall.

"Are you so sure I'll join the Second Division?"

Asuka Akira, puzzled, chimed in, "Captain Unohana offered very high terms."

Upon hearing this, Yoruichi turned and glanced at him, saying disdainfully:

"I don't know about others, but judging from your behavior, it's a bottom line."

"You simply cannot refuse the conditions I offer."

After several encounters, she found that Ru Yueming was easy to understand; as long as she addressed the root cause, she could easily control him.

This is the way the head of the Shihōin family conducts himself and his understanding of human relationships!

"Lord Yoruichi."

As they approached the door, the guardian of death bowed respectfully.

"I'm bringing a friend in to solve the Zanpakuto problem."

Yoruichi waved her hand and walked in casually, much to Ruyueming's surprise.

There wasn't even a second round of interrogation!

"By the way, is guarding the Shihōin family ancestral hall such an easy job?"

Ru Yueming asked doubtfully, "I think I could do it too."

Yoruichi smiled and explained, "Actually, it's because too many people have come to the shrine lately, not just you, but also Captain-Commander Yamamoto, Captain Hikifune, Captain Unohana..."

"These people were all invited to solve the problem of Zanpakuto."

It turned out to be the case.

As if suddenly enlightened by the bright moonlight.

So it's because I went in and out too many times, and then I got used to it.

The two entered the ancestral hall without any difficulty.

To Ruyueming's surprise, the general structure of this place was very similar to that of the Rebellious Bone Shrine. The only difference was that a Zanpakuto embedded in the jagged rocks was enshrined at the head of the shrine.

On either side of the Zanpakuto are the memorial tablets of the successive heads of the Shihouin family.

Ru Yueming counted them; there were twenty-one people in total.

Considering that Yoruichi Shihouin was the future twenty-second head of the Shihouin family, it means that the entire Shihouin family has been wiped out.

No wonder those elders were so anxious.

Given the chaotic state among the nobles of Soul Society, if the Shihouin family does not elect a new head of the family soon, it may be destroyed and annexed by some ill-intentioned forces, or replaced.

"I almost forgot to ask, what items do I need to prepare for this exorcism procedure?"

Yoruichi suddenly turned around and asked curiously.

“I remember that when the priests of the Ise family performed rituals, they would often prepare a lot of things such as incense, candles, shrines, and sacred stones.”

"If needed, I can have someone else prepare it."

Ru Yueming waved his hand, indicating:

"No need, I'm not like those second-rate priests."

"However, I need your assistance."

As he spoke, he took out a complete set of palace official's robes from his empty sleeve, along with imperial coins, incense, candles, cinnabar, a writing brush, and an offering table.

Yoruichi, standing next to her, looked like she'd seen a ghost, completely unable to believe her eyes.

She moved closer, her soft little hands constantly groping Ru Yueming's body, trying to find the three-dimensional space where the things were hidden.

Unfortunately, nothing was found.

"Where exactly did you hide all these things?"

"Trade secrets."

Asuka Akira slapped Yoruichi's restless hand away and replied without looking up, as he was searching through his system space for the items he had obtained during his last sign-in.

"found it."

As Asuka Akira finished speaking, to Yoruichi's astonishment, he pulled out—

A brand new shrine maiden outfit!

Maomao was shocked!

Yoruichi expressed her incomprehension of this.

You can say that carrying things like gohei (official hats) on your person is one thing, but why would a high-ranking priest of a shrine carry a shrine maiden's robe with you at all times?!

"Come on, put it on."

Akira handed the shrine maiden's outfit to the still-dazed girl.

Yoruichi: "..."

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Ru Yueming casually stuffed the item into her arms and then began to change into her palace attendant's clothes on her own.

Although I'm already quite familiar with Mimi Haki, we still have to go through the proper procedures.

Moreover, this exorcism ritual is probably not as simple as he thinks.

Upon entering the ancestral hall, Ru Yueming could clearly sense the oppressive atmosphere permeating the surroundings. The activity of spiritual particles in the air was reduced to a minimum, as if some force was suppressing them.

Looking at Akira, who treated her like family, Yoruichi's face was filled with conflict.

"I'll go change over there!"

Seeing that the other person was almost finished changing, Yoruichi hurriedly threw down a sentence, then ran to a corner of the shrine and quietly changed into her shrine maiden outfit.

When she reappeared in the center of the ancestral hall, Ru Yueming's eyes lit up.

Her long purple hair cascaded down her back, and her slightly flushed face showed a hint of resistance.

The shrine maiden's outfit, with its main colors of red and white, combined with her healthy, wheat-colored skin, gives her a unique charm.

Yoruichi was probably wearing this kind of clothing for the first time; the hakama was a bit too tight, creating a slightly convex, beautiful curve.

The exposed breasts on both sides of her white dress, along with her smooth and slender arms, particularly attracted someone's attention.

"Great job, Yoruichi the Shrine Maiden!"

Ru Yueming gave a thumbs up, admiring it without any hesitation.

Since their true nature has been exposed more than once or twice, they might as well just openly observe it.

To be honest, the black and white combination is truly a beautiful sight.

He suddenly began to look forward to life after joining the Second Division.

Yoruichi spread her arms and twirled gracefully while looking down.

Someone like her, who is used to wearing tight-fitting clothes, was somewhat unaccustomed to suddenly changing into loose and restrictive shrine maiden attire.

"Alright, everything is ready, let's begin our exorcism ritual!"

As the moon shone brightly, incense and candles on the altar were lit, and the ancestral hall was filled with the sound of wind.

It was called exorcism, but it was actually a ritual.

With his limited knowledge in this area, Akira Asuka couldn't determine exactly what was wrong with his Zanpakuto.

Fortunately, he still has some trump cards up his sleeve.

Shake people!

The bell jingled softly, its crisp sound echoing through the deep, dark ancestral hall.

"In the name of the Moon Goddess, we offer sacrifices to the One-Eyed God, Mimihachi..."

Ru Yueming's ten fingers danced like butterflies, rapidly changing countless hand seals as she chanted incantations and continuously released spiritual pressure.

A heavy rumble resounded from the altar. To Yoruichi's astonishment, a massive and sacred black phantom rose from Ruyueming's body, and the surrounding spiritual particles began to distort.

Tiny black shadows stretched endlessly into the depths, transforming into boundless darkness that enveloped the entire ancestral hall!
