Chiya Kuchiki followed Okoya to a luxurious mansion. After entering the room, Okoya said, "Kuchiki-kun, I think our negotiations have come to an end."

"Huh?" Chiyo Kuchiki looked at Koya Ootori with a puzzled expression. "What negotiation?"

Oogami said, "You have won. Therefore, the High Priest has decided to allow you to continue residing in Seireitei. You will no longer be held accountable for your private duel. As for those who died, they will also be punished. In this way, you have fulfilled your duty to the dead."

"Oh? I see." Chiyo Kuchiki seemed to understand what Otoko-zai meant.

Omokozai said, "Furthermore, on behalf of the High Priest, I apologize to you. My words were quite offensive."

"It's alright," said Chiya Kuchiki, waving her hand. "It was just a misunderstanding."

Omoko smiled and glanced at Chiyo Kuchiki. He could sense that Chiyo Kuchiki wasn't as difficult to deal with as the rumors suggested.

“Well then, have a pleasant evening,” said Nanhuzai, and then he disappeared into the air.

Looking at the bright moonlight outside the window, Chiya Kuchiki sighed, "I hope this matter can be resolved satisfactorily..."

……

Meanwhile, in an old mansion, a male Grim Reaper sat in a chair, a teacup in his hand. He crushed the teacup with one hand and said in a low voice, "I really didn't expect such a blunder to occur; it almost ruined everything." He glanced at his two subordinates beside him.

A male Grim Reaper dressed in black bowed his head and said, "I apologize, Your Excellency. This was our carelessness."

Standing beside him was a beautiful female Grim Reaper with long blonde hair and sunglasses. She looked at the man and said softly, "Sir, would you like to mobilize more power?"

“Not for now,” the man said. “Doing so would expose our plans. Besides, I’d like to see how long that brat can keep up his act.”

This Shinigami is the Grand Priest. He is extremely powerful, no weaker than Chiya Kuchiki, and even has a slight advantage. This is because Chiya Kuchiki is not a pure spiritual pressure Shinigami, but possesses a special spiritual pressure manipulation technique, which is why he was able to defeat Chiya Kuchiki.

However, the High Priest is also a Shinigami (death god) with spiritual pressure. He also possesses spiritual pressure, albeit a weaker one. Chiya Kuchiki, on the other hand, can manipulate everything through his spiritual pressure. Therefore, he is not afraid of Chiya Kuchiki. Moreover, he doesn't consider Chiya Kuchiki to be an equal, but merely someone worthy of attention.

Chiya Kuchiki is very strong, but he disdains to deal with Chiya Kuchiki. Instead, he plans to cultivate another Shinigami to fight against Chiya Kuchiki.

Omoko led Kuchiki Chiya to the temple. The temple was located at the deepest part of the shrine, built on the edge of a vast, boundless lake. The temple was brightly lit, but utterly silent, creating a chilling atmosphere. In the center of the temple stood a massive table, around which stood twelve Shinigami, all clad in black uniforms and carrying katana at their waists. Kuchiki Chiya didn't recognize most of them, but he did recognize a few.

For example, the middle-aged man in a black suit, wearing black-rimmed glasses, and with a stern face standing to the left of the High Priest is his former partner, Kuroba, and also the leader of the Shinigami Squad. Besides him, five of the remaining nine Shinigami are key members of the Shinigami Squad.

To the priest's right stood a young girl wearing a silver mask. She was tall and slender, clad in tight-fitting red leather armor that accentuated her perfect figure. She exuded an aura of danger.

122. This girl is Orochimaru!

This girl is Orochimaru!

Behind Orochimaru stood five other men, all key members of the Shinigami Squad. Orochimaru was the vice-commander, and the five men behind him were five generals.

Orochimaru glanced up at the numerous Shinigami, his gaze finally settling on Chiya Kuchiki, a playful expression on his face.

"Chiyo Kuchiki, you've come after all," Orochimaru said.

"Hmph!" Chiya Kuchiki snorted coldly, then said, "I should be saying that, Orochimaru, you dared to ambush me!"

Hearing this, Omoko frowned. This was indeed a difficult situation. After all, it was a battle between Shinigami. Although both sides had signed an agreement, who knew what Chiya Kuchiki would do? What if he became enraged and went back on his word?

However, as the perpetrator and director of this incident, Otoko-zai could not stop Kuchiki Chiya.

Just as Omoko was considering whether to let Chiya Kuchiki leave, a melodious zither tune suddenly rang out.

Everyone present was stunned, then they looked in astonishment toward the source of the sound. The music coming from there was clear and melodious, like heavenly music. However, this music cast a shadow over the hearts of everyone present.

"Oh no! Run!" Nan Huzai panicked and jumped up from his seat and rushed out.

At that moment, his body underwent a sudden and unusual change. A split appeared in his chest, from which several thick tentacles emerged. The ends of the tentacles were covered in barbs, their sharp spikes appearing menacing and terrifying. These barbs then plunged towards Kuchiki Chiya.

But at that moment, a cold light flashed, severing the tentacle and severing half of Nanhuzai's head. Nanhuzai screamed and fell to the ground.

Omoko glared angrily at Kuchiki Chiya, gritting his teeth as he said, "Do you want to die?!"

Chiyo Kuchiki said indifferently, "Don't mess with me, or I'll kill you."

Ookuzai clutched his wound and retreated behind the High Priest. He said viciously, "Fine, very well. Kuchiki Chiya, remember this. I will never forget this humiliation. One day, I will get my revenge with interest!"

Chiyo Kuchiki leaned back lazily in his chair, a mocking smile playing on his lips: "Whatever, I'll play along to the end."

As they spoke, ice spikes shot towards the High Priest and the other Death Gods. These ice spikes were incredibly fast, instantly closing in on them. But at that moment, the High Priest stretched out his hand, grabbed forward forcefully, and then clenched his fist.

With a deafening roar, the floor beneath the High Priest's feet cracked, unleashing a gust of wind that swept up the High Priest and the other Grim Reapers, sending them hurtling towards the door. They had barely opened the door when they crashed through the wall and landed in the hall.

Outside the hall, a group of high-ranking death gods, clad in jet-black armor, with wings on their backs and masks on their faces, appeared in their field of vision.

The high priest's expression changed drastically, and he shouted in a low voice, "Everyone, be on alert! Enemy attack!"

Orochimaru sneered, "Grand Priest, you certainly have a short memory. Last time you sent 108 Kamui ninjas to hunt us down, causing me to lose two teammates. Are you really going to let that go so easily?"

"You..." The High Priest gritted his teeth; they naturally remembered this grudge. However, the High Priest also knew that Orochimaru and his group would never let it go. That's why the High Priest had summoned all the Shinigami to discuss this mission. Unexpectedly, Orochimaru had come directly to their door this time.

Just then, steady, powerful footsteps sounded behind the High Priest. He turned around and saw a young man dressed in white robes and wearing a golden mask.

"Kuchiki Chiyo, what do you mean by this?" the High Priest asked. He could tell that this boy seemed to be Kuchiki Chiyo's companion.

Chiya Kuchiki shrugged and said, "I don't know what it means either. But since so many of my compatriots are trapped here, I naturally have to rescue them."

"So what do you plan to do?" the high priest asked.

Chiya Kuchiki said coldly, "I'll wipe you out first."

Upon hearing this, the High Priest flew into a rage: "Are you insane! Where do you think this is? This is Seireitei! This is our territory! I advise you not to be so arrogant!"

"Oh?" Chiya Kuchiki scoffed. "You think I'm afraid of you Shinigami?"

Upon hearing Chiyo Kuchiki's words, the High Priest's face turned ashen. He was well aware of Chiyo Kuchiki's power, having personally experienced his invincible swordsmanship and unpredictable moves.

· ··Requesting flowers·· ·

This is a freak. A powerful freak who possesses immortality and can control chakra, unleashing all sorts of bizarre attack methods. This kind of person is practically a bug in the system; no matter what, they are invincible.

At this moment, Chiyo Kuchiki's gaze passed over the High Priest and other Shinigami and looked at the crystal coffin in the center of the hall, his pupils slightly contracting.

"It's you, Chizuru!" Chiya Kuchiki murmured to himself. He sensed the familiar energy emanating from the crystal coffin; it was Chizuru's aura.

Chiyo's breathing suddenly became rapid. His eyes flashed with an extremely dazzling light, and then he vanished from his spot in an instant. Only a cold glint remained, crisscrossing and flickering incessantly within the hall.

..... . 0

Chiya Kuchiki made his move, but his target wasn't the Grand Priest or Byakuya Kuchiki, or any other Shinigami.

"You brat, you're asking for death!" the High Priest roared, his scythe flashing with blinding light as he slashed out. At the same time, a nearby Shinigami brandished his kunai, aiming for Kuchiki Chiya. The remaining Shinigami unleashed various ninjutsu techniques, preparing to surround and kill Kuchiki Chiya.

"Foolish!" Chiya Kuchiki said coldly. The next second, he was already in front of the crystal coffin, his finger pointing directly at the lid.

With a bang, the lid of the crystal coffin was shattered by a flick of Chiya's finger. A strong fragrance filled the entire hall.

"It smells so good," Chiyo Kuchiki exclaimed, taking a deep breath and closing his eyes in ecstasy.

At this moment, the fragrance grew even stronger. A phantom slowly emerged, gradually solidifying into a beautiful woman. She had a fiery and alluring figure, and her skin was incredibly white, like a work of art meticulously sculpted by God. Around her neck, a ruby ​​necklace shone brilliantly.

This was none other than the patriarch of the Otsutsuki clan, the head of the sun, moon, and stars, and the daughter of Hiruzen and his wife, Otsutsuki Yuhi.

But at this moment, the High Priest's expression changed. This was the sacred artifact of the Otsutsuki clan—the crystal coffin.

The high priest's face immediately turned extremely ugly.

123. Chiya Kuchiki's Trap

"This is impossible!" the High Priest exclaimed in utter shock. The crystal coffin was the most precious treasure of the Otsutsuki clan. Apart from the clan head, elders, and a few heirs, even other members of the Otsutsuki clan were not qualified to see this treasure. The High Priest had gone to great lengths to obtain it and then gave it to Hiruzen.

Although the High Priest didn't understand why the crystal coffin had suddenly appeared here, it definitely meant that the High Priest had lost contact with the crystal coffin!

"Damn it! What on earth is going on?!" The high priest was extremely anxious.

But at that moment, the high priest suddenly froze. Inside the crystal coffin lay a corpse.

The High Priest recognized the corpse as Chizuru, his sister and Hiruzen's only beloved wife.

At this moment, the High Priest finally realized what was happening.

"So that's how it is!" The High Priest gritted his teeth. He finally understood why Orochimaru dared to bring Chiya Kuchiki into this place.

It turns out that all of this was a trap set by Chiya Kuchiki.

He had already set a trap to lure them in. And they, foolishly, jumped right in.

Having realized this, the High Priest flew into a rage. His arms transformed into enormous gloves, and he charged towards Chiya Kuchiki.

On the other side, the Grim Reaper wielding the bone staff roared, "Get out of my way!"

Immediately, he slammed his bone staff down into Chiya Kuchiki's chest, trying to stop him from approaching the crystal coffin. However, Chiya Kuchiki neither dodged nor evaded, taking the blow head-on.

"Boom!" The violent collision sent Chiya Kuchiki flying backward, landing on the ground and sliding several meters away.

At this moment, the other Grim Reapers also quickly surrounded and attacked. These Grim Reapers were still a step below the High Priest, as they were only low-level Grim Reapers.

However, they were, after all, several Grim Reapers, and they worked together seamlessly. Some of them even used forbidden techniques to enhance their combat power.

Even so, these Grim Reapers were still no match for them.

However, the High Priest wasn't having such an easy time, as Chiya Kuchiki kept harassing him. The High Priest could only desperately defend himself, and couldn't spare a moment to help the other Shinigami.

"Heh. This crystal coffin can't be destroyed, can it?" Chiya Kuchiki sneered.

“Not bad,” the high priest said coldly.

“Very well. Then I’ll destroy it.” Chiyo Kuchiki said indifferently. Then, he looked up at the ceiling.

The high priest followed his gaze. He saw a dark crack. The crack stretched from the wall all the way to the roof.

"Oh no!" The high priest's eyes widened in shock, for Chiya Kuchiki was standing at the crack.
