Chapter 132: The Plot Advances, Taking Action Begins

  Mu Ling followed the footsteps of Dong Shilang to the courtyard of Jingling Ting's first team, where everyone except for the three captains who had already defected - Sanban, Wuban and Jiuban teams' leaders - were present. However, it was strange that the atmosphere was unexpectedly calm, but upon closer inspection, it became apparent that everyone in attendance had their Zanpakuto at the ready, Mu Ling being no exception.

  "You're the one who suddenly appeared in this world, so why are you targeting us, the Corpse Soul Realm?" At this time, General Yamamoto Genryu Kokun was questioning Meng Lie, and it could be seen that this old man already had the intention of taking action.

  "It's not that I'm targeting your Corpse Soul Realm, but rather the powers of each world. You should know, my next stop is to go to the Void Circle to collect my own power." Dreaming countered.

  "We can't believe your words, but you've already stolen the power of our Zhanxian Sword. If you're really sincere, then return it to us." The old man was still speaking to Meng Ling in his condescending tone.

  "I refuse, this is after all the power that has been absorbed by my Zhanxu sword, wanting to return it is already an impossible thing. Moreover, you also don't have the qualifications to interfere with my own affairs."

  "Preposterous!" Yamamoto's cane struck the ground, and in an instant a powerful spiritual pressure bore down on Mu Ren, but the next moment everyone present turned pale, for they discovered that, without anyone noticing, Mu Ren's spiritual pressure had already surpassed Yamamoto's by several times.

  "I'm quite arrogant, but aren't you all just as arrogant? You Death Gods are in charge of souls and emptiness, whereas I am still human, so what I do is fundamentally none of your business." In reality, it's very simple: at the same time that Yamamoto released his spiritual pressure to suppress Muken, Muken had already released his own spiritual awareness. Of course, a spiritual pressure filled with spiritual awareness isn't something that ordinary spiritual pressure can counteract. And so, Muken easily overpowered Yamamoto's spiritual pressure.

  "We, the Shinigami, exist for the balance of the world. The Death Gods also come to manage order for this purpose. Is there something wrong with that?" Yamamoto asked intently.

  "Oh, so why is there this Soul Reaper thing? Are you Death Gods justifying taking lives for research to maintain order? You're really treating yourselves as 'gods', huh." Meng Ling said coldly. However, the surrounding captains already knew that one was the ruthless and efficient General Captain, and the other was a mysterious and eccentric human. It seemed that the possibility of reconciliation between the two sides had disappeared. Seeing both sides on high alert, ready to draw their swords at any moment, these captains began preparing for battle.

  "You're not a spy from the Blue Dye Sect, are you?" Su Feng asked Meng Ling suspiciously. Just by looking at him, it was clear that he had already begun to suspect Meng Ling, and one wrong move might lead to an attack on the opposite building.

  "It's clear that you don't believe me, I was thinking of going to the virtual circle, but it seems there's no need for that now." Meng Ling said, and then prepared to head outside.

  "Come and go as you please, what do you take this place for?" Yamamoto's old man tapped his cane on the ground and asked in a cold voice.

  "Public toilet!" Meng Ling faintly turned her head and replied with a sentence before preparing to turn back and continue walking towards the outside of the house.

  "Bang..." Just as Meng Ling had just turned around, someone suddenly rushed in at high speed and collided with her. In an instant, Meng Ling and the person both flew out.

  "Pain, pain, pain..." Meng Ling sat on the ground, rubbing her sore bottom vigorously, feeling very depressed in her heart. A woman's body is just fragile; if it were a man, even falling down the stairs might not have caused such a sensation. Now, Meng Ling could only look up at the person who had bumped into her.

  "What a damn idiot, can't even watch where he's walking..." Meng Ling saw that it was Yi Ge, who at this moment had his right hand supporting the back of his head, looking like he was in pain too.

  The bee beside him had already tilted his head to one side, and in his heart he also knew that Meng Ling was not a spy, because...

  "I've never seen such a clumsy spy."

  At this time, Meng Ling also stood up and walked to the side of Eriol, stretched out his hand and helped him up. Since he was his friend, Meng Ling naturally wouldn't blame him. However, after that fall just now, because he hadn't fully activated his Devil Fruit's ability yet, Meng Ling finally felt a pain that he hadn't experienced in a long time.

  "Haha, it's me, ah, well, let me explain first, that idiot who walks without looking up you mentioned, is actually me. What do you want with me?" Meng Ling asked with a devilish grin.

  "Uh, nothing, by the way, have you seen Orihime? She was already gone when we gathered earlier, and we've been searching for a long time, but her spiritual pressure has completely disappeared. I know you have an ability to search over a wide range, so as soon as I heard you were here, I rushed right over." Ichigo said in a flustered tone.

  "Alright, I understand. Since it's like that, wait a moment." After hearing Ichigo's words, Mu Lin immediately closed her eyes and released her spiritual sense, instantly covering most of the Soul Reaper Realm. However, what was strange was that Mu Lin couldn't feel anything out of the ordinary, except for one difference - after obtaining the power of the Spirit Orb, she discovered a massive rift rapidly closing in on the outside of Seireitei. On top of it still lingered Orihime's spiritual pressure, and upon seeing this, Mu Lin already knew what had happened.

  "How is it?" Seeing Meng Leng had opened her eyes again, Yu immediately asked anxiously.

  "Orihime seems to have been taken away by someone, it looks like a dark hole, and it's still gathering now." Mengl pointed to a direction outside the house.

  "What's the Black Cave? Where is it exactly?" Upon hearing this news, Yamamoto-san immediately started questioning Meng Leng, disregarding their current strained relationship.

  "There's no need to answer you!" Yumei replied coldly, then turned to face Ichika and said: "It seems that this time, the people from the virtual circle came just to take away Orihime, perhaps it's because of Orihime's powerful ability to heal others."

  "Where's Orihime now?" Ichigo asked.

  "It's actually quite easy to answer, if you've entered the Black Hollow, then there's only one explanation - the Virtual Circle. I remember that before you guys defeated the Soul Reaper in Seireitei, didn't you already separate from Orihime? Wasn't it because of treating some Shinigami's injury that you stayed behind?" asked Mu Leng.

  "Yes, at that time, we saw Orihime was worried, so we let her stay behind. But we had no idea she would be caught. If we knew earlier, we wouldn't have done this." Ichigo said with some regret.

  "Well, in that case, let's just head back to the real world for now. The captains will take care of things here in the Soul Society, and it doesn't look like they'll be opening up a Senkaimon for us anyway. If that's how it is, then we might as well go ask Mr. Urahara for help," said Muken, having already made up his mind. Since nothing had been accomplished on this trip to the Shinigami world, he decided that this time, he would properly assist Ichigo and the others.

  "In that case, let's take action immediately." said Ichika after glancing at Yamamoto and the others.

  "Then let's go to Yoruichi-san right away, after preparing the entrance gate, we'll immediately depart from Mr. Urahara in the present world." Said Rukia, and then she took Ichigo outside.

  "Stop right there, Jingling Court is actually a place where you can come and go as you please, but you are really too rude." As soon as the words fell, Suibei had already taken a step forward and appeared in front of Mengying and Ichigo, blocking their way.

  "I say you're really strange, when we ask for your help, you have a stinky face, and now that we've found our own way, you want to stop us. What's the meaning of this?" Meng Ling asked with some displeasure.

  "You are still a fugitive we want to capture, how can we let you leave like this?" Shui Feng said coldly.

  "You're really something, Soul Society. If you want me to stay, then let's see if you have what it takes - Toxic Gigantomakhia!" Mugen was truly fed up, after all, he had taken away the Shinigami's power in Soul Society, so he naturally felt guilty and avoided confronting them head-on. However, Soul Society just wouldn't give him an inch, and now it seemed that his idea of not fighting back was impossible to achieve. Slowly, he made his way to the empty space outside, and at the same time, a dark red liquid began flowing from his body. Gradually, behind Mugen, that giant demon composed of deadly poison reappeared once again.

  "It's this move again!" Seeing the devil behind Meng Ling, Nie Li immediately shouted.

  "This time, I must leave here, I have my own things to do. Since you really want to interfere with these trivial matters, I can only accompany you to the end." Meng Ling said, and immediately separated a shadow clone, at the same time...

  "True Thunder God!" The newly separated shadow clone immediately used the strongest skill of the Rumbling Fruit, and a bolt of lightning with a diameter of five meters suddenly struck down from the sky. In the next moment, a huge virtual shadow appeared behind Meng Leng, and at the same time, the lightning continued to move on the virtual shadow.

  "If you really want to fight, then I'll have no choice but to offend you."
