Death God: Unrivaled in sharpness, the greatest captain of all time!

But when he saw the numbers on Lavigne's neck, his expression changed immediately.

"You, you are..."

“A subordinate of the Ten Blades, do I need to tell you who I work for?” Lavini stared at him coldly.

“No need!” Captain Xu immediately stood up and looked at Lavigne respectfully.

“If I catch you slacking off again, you’re dead!” Lavini said coldly, staring at him.

"understand!"

After all that happened last night, Lavini left from here. She finally relaxed after arriving at the place where Chiyo Kuchiki and the others were.

"I'm so nervous, I'm really afraid he'll ask me who I'm with..." Lavigne's heart was pounding.

Chiyo Kuchiki smiled slightly and said, "It's alright, you did very well."

They've now fooled the captain and are in the inner city; they're much freer now.

118. Lord Chiya, where are we going?

Inside the city, they began to act cautiously, constantly taking detours, hiding, and avoiding patrols to avoid attracting the attention of others.

"Lord Senya, where are we going?" Sasaki finally couldn't help but ask.

"Let's find someone who knows this place. We need to figure out what's going on here first," Chiyo Kuchiki said softly, looking at the patrol teams passing by.

Everyone nodded; they now had no objections to Chiyo Kuchiki's decisions, because they found that Chiyo Kuchiki's decisions were always very correct.

They gradually approached a more prosperous area, where the buildings were taller and more magnificent, and the patrols were more frequent.

"Lord Senya?" Sasaki asked again.

“Go…go find a defector.” Chiyo Kuchiki gave a shocking answer.

Everyone stared in astonishment at "507" Kuchiki Chiya, a defected Shinigami? This was no small matter. If they were discovered, even with their Hollowfication abilities, they wouldn't be able to escape, would they?

“Don’t worry, I’ve already contacted this person, and he should leave before we arrive,” Chiyo Kuchiki said calmly.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; it turned out that Chiya Kuchiki had already made arrangements.

They walked around a block and came to a quieter place where there was a rather secluded mansion.

Chiya Kuchiki stepped forward and knocked on the door. After a short while, the door opened, and a middle-aged man appeared in the doorway.

Upon seeing Kuchiki Chiyo, his expression changed slightly, and he said, "You... Lord Chiyo? What brings you here?"

"I came here to seek refuge, but I never expected to encounter a traitor like you," Chiyo Kuchiki said coldly.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Chiya, I am not a traitor. I am just dissatisfied with the rule of the Zero Division."

"Then why are you helping us now?" Chiyo Kuchiki asked.

The middle-aged man sighed and said, "I've already contacted Lord Aizen, and he promised to help me regain my status..."

Chiya Kuchiki interrupted him, saying, "We don't have much time left. You'd better take us to a safe place right away."

The middle-aged man nodded, then turned and led them into the mansion.

In the basement of the mansion, they discovered a hidden room, which was clearly where the middle-aged man was hiding.

“It’s safe here. I’ve been hiding here for a long time,” the middle-aged man said.

After Chiyo Kuchiki dismissed him, she left Lavigne to watch over the room. Although it was safe, it was still an unfamiliar place, and it would be safer to leave someone there to guard it.

After leaving the mansion, they moved on to their next destination.

This time, their destination was a relatively remote area, a slum inhabited mostly by ordinary people. Although some Void creatures did roam there, their numbers were not large.

They quietly entered the area and began to explore.

Chiya Kuchiki noticed some civilians gathered around a corner discussing something, and he curiously went over to take a look.

It turned out to be a prize draw booth, and the prizes were small items such as food and daily necessities.

"This stall only appeared recently. It's said to be set up by an old man named Bach," a rather talkative-looking man said to Chiya Kuchiki.

“Bach?” Chiyo Kuchiki frowned; the name seemed familiar.

"Sir, do you know him?" the man asked.

Chiya Kuchiki shook her head and said, "No, I don't know him, but the name sounds familiar."

They didn't linger on the topic but continued moving toward their goal.

There was also a tavern in the area, but it wasn't very crowded. After entering, Chiya Kuchiki and her companions found a relatively secluded corner to sit down.

Upon seeing them, the tavern owner asked with some surprise, "Gentlemen? What brings you to a place like this?"

Chiyo Kuchiki smiled slightly and said, "We're just here to rest for a bit. Also, I want to ask you a few questions."

The tavern owner immediately bowed and scraped, saying, "Please ask away, I'll tell you everything I know."

"Have you ever heard of the name Bach?" Chiyo Kuchiki asked.

"Bach? You mean that Bach? He's a celebrity here, lots of people know him," the tavern owner said proudly.

"Who is he? Is he famous here?" Chiyo Kuchiki asked again...

The tavern owner looked at Chiya Kuchiki in surprise and said, "Lord Bach is a member of the Zero Squad. He's very famous here."

Upon hearing the name of the Zero Division, Chiya Kuchiki was immediately startled. He grabbed the tavern owner by the collar and lifted him up.

"What did you just say? Say it again!" Chiyo Kuchiki's tone became extremely stern.

The tavern owner trembled with fear, stammering, "Lord Bach is a member of the Zero Squad; he's a celebrity here..."

Chiya Kuchiki released his grip, causing the tavern owner to fall back into his seat. His expression turned extremely grim; the Zero Division's presence here was making him very uneasy.

"Do you know where Lord Bach is?" Chiyo Kuchiki asked again.

The tavern owner nodded and said, "Lord Bach often patrols outside the city. If you want to find him, you can try your luck outside the city."

Chiya Kuchiki and her companions left the tavern and headed out of the city. Their mood became extremely heavy; the appearance of the Zero Division made them feel a great threat.

Outside the city, on a desolate land, only a few dilapidated buildings stood. Chiya Kuchiki and her companions moved among the buildings, their hearts heavy with sorrow.

"Lord Senya, what do we do now?" Sasaki asked.

“We will continue on until we find Bach,” Chiyo Kuchiki said firmly.

2.1 The group nodded. They knew this was no time for idle chatter; they had to find Bach as soon as possible to ensure their safety.

They continued onward, passing one dilapidated building after another, until they finally arrived at a relatively new building. This building looked quite sturdy, and there were several guards standing watch at the entrance.

Chiya Kuchiki guessed that the building might be the Zero Division's headquarters, so he stepped forward and identified himself. Upon hearing his name, the guards immediately let them in.

Inside the building, they found a fairly spacious hall. Some team members were resting, while others were training.

"You've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you." A voice rang out, and a person dressed in a black team uniform appeared before them.

119. Captain of the Zero Squad—Bach!

Chiya Kuchiki looked at the man in surprise; he recognized him as Bach.

Bach smiled at them and said, "I heard you had infiltrated this place, and I have been waiting for your arrival."

Chiyo Kuchiki frowned and asked, "Who are you? How did you know about our plan?"

Bach smiled and said, "I am the captain of the Zero Division. Everything you have done is under my control."

Everyone stared at Bach in astonishment, utterly shocked. The Zero Division was their enemy, and the biggest obstacle to their plans.

Bach continued, "You are now my prisoners. I suggest you honestly confess your plans and then join my ranks to serve me."

Upon hearing this suggestion, everyone immediately shook their heads in refusal. Chiya Kuchiki even drew her sword, preparing to fight Bach.

Bach, seeing their reaction, was not angry; instead, he laughed. He waved his hand, signaling his men to prepare for battle.

A fierce battle ensued. The duel between Chiya Kuchiki and Bach was particularly intense. Their intangibility abilities canceled each other out, forcing them to fight only in their physical forms. Meanwhile, the other members of the Zero Division were also locked in a close and evenly matched battle with the other members.

Although Chiya Kuchiki and the others also used their intangibility abilities, their intangibility duration was short and limited. In contrast, the members of the Zero Division had a longer intangibility duration and no limitations. Therefore, during the battle, Chiya Kuchiki and the others gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.

"Lord Chiya, are you alright?" Lavini rushed over to ask as soon as he saw Chiya Kuchiki injured.

"I'm fine," Chiyo Kuchiki said through gritted teeth. His wound was bleeding, but he refused to stop and rest. He knew this was no time for idle talk; he had to defeat Bach as soon as possible.

However, Bach was not so easily defeated. He was extremely powerful, and his intangibility abilities were also very strong. During the battle, he constantly used his intangibility abilities to dodge and attack, leaving Chiya Kuchiki and the others helpless.

"You should just surrender." Bach reappeared in front of Chiyo Kuchiki, holding a phantom sword and threatening Chiyo's life.

Chiya Kuchiki shook his head helplessly; he knew the battle had reached its final moment. He looked up at Bach and said, "We will not surrender."

With that, he charged towards Bach. His blade sliced ​​through the air with a piercing sound. However, Bach was not intimidated by the attack; he brandished his phantom sword and met the attack head-on.

Their figures clashed, sparks flying as their weapons collided. In a very short time, they exchanged dozens of blows, but neither could gain the upper hand.

Chiya Kuchiki felt his stamina rapidly depleting, and his movements grew increasingly slower. He knew his Hollowfication time was about to end, but he still hadn't found a way to defeat Bach.

However, just as his intangibility was about to end, Bach suddenly launched an attack. His phantom sword pierced towards Chiya Kuchiki's chest, and Chiya could only swing his own sword to block the attack. However, his sword was shattered by the phantom sword, and in the next instant, the phantom sword had already pierced through his body.

Chiya Kuchiki felt a sharp pain, and his body trembled involuntarily. He looked down at his wound, where blood was gushing out and staining his clothes red.

Bach didn't stop; he brandished his phantom sword again, preparing to continue his attack. Chiya Kuchiki knew he could no longer dodge the attack; he could only close his eyes and await death.

However, at that moment, a voice suddenly rang out: "Bach, stop!" Upon hearing this voice, Bach immediately stopped his attack and turned to look at the newcomer.

Chiya Kuchiki also saw the newcomer, and he was quite surprised. The newcomer turned out to be one of his teammates, Sasaki.
