Originally, according to the initial timeline, he was to complete his revenge in the millennium.
Defeating all guardians, including the Zero Division, and slaying the Spirit King, only to be defeated in the end by Kurosaki Ichigo and Ishida Uryu in a rather ridiculous manner.
"I previously said that I hadn’t detected the presence of the Invisible Empire in the Soul Cleansing Court, it seems my power wasn’t cleansed enough..."
Tao Yu scratched his chin.
After all, previously, he mainly relied on his talent of [Information Control] for simulation.
His Soul Cutting Sword couldn’t reach the Initial Release, the power of the Hollow was self-tuned, and even his body was forcibly input with spiritual body data.
Thus, not being able to detect the presence of the Invisible Empire wasn’t something too hard to accept.
Anyway, whether in the Soul Society or the current world, he was quite busy.
On one hand, he had to find a way to get the Bengyu, and on the other, he had to conduct research, while also thinking about Yohaba’s situation.
Yet, unexpectedly, he appeared ahead of time...
"About this, I have some related information, the invader is likely the Exterminating Master ancestor from a thousand years ago, Yohaba..."
Nie Jianli had always been researching the Exterminating Masters and had some knowledge about Yohaba.
He even openly blamed Old Man Yamamoto for not solving the problem a thousand years ago, leaving a mess behind.
However, how they suddenly appeared in the Soul Cleansing Court is still unclear...
Yohaba, son of the Spirit King.
Unlike the Spirit King’s innate sanctity, Yohaba was innately extremely weak, without his own five senses.
But he possessed the ability to inject his spiritual particles into others, sharing his power.
And when those he ’gifted’ power to died, everything would return to his body, allowing Yohaba to regain his five senses and grow stronger.
This finally led to the bloody battle that breached the Soul Cleansing Court a thousand years ago.
But back then, even the Zero Division had not been deployed, and with the help of the First Hokage’s Guardian Court Thirteen Divisions, managed to thwart his conspiracy.
Now that the millennium is approaching, Yohaba is preparing to reclaim everything that belongs to him...
"Yohaba’s Holy Separation, before opening his eyes, probably doesn’t even surpass Captain Yamamoto or the Great Monk, but once he does, everything changes, such a great ability, it’s truly enviable..."
Tao Yu thought of Yohaba’s Holy Separation and his eyes.
Why must Yohaba be a humanoid intelligent creature? Isn’t that a waste!
According to the timeline, there was still some time before Yohaba opened his eyes.
Perhaps the Abyss invasion led to his early appearance...
"However, a complete Yohaba, who possesses the path to being all-knowing and all-powerful, once he activates Holy Separation and absorbs the Spirit King’s power, I probably wouldn’t be a match in the current world..."
He wouldn’t underestimate himself; his power is strong.
But when he wanted to pierce through the anti-membrane to stop Lan Ran, and when he wished to grab the Bengyu, he did feel the immense power of the Soul Reaper World itself.
To some extent, if Yohaba succeeded, it would be him replacing the Spirit King and merging with the Current World!
Once someone like that starts wielding the Power of the World against you, it’s truly troublesome...
"When that time comes, I’m afraid I’d have to flee, I can’t afford to feed the enemy too much strength."
Tao Yu considered whether to unleash Yohaba to pressure the Spirit King, and then appear as a Savior to set conditions.
But thinking of the obstruction by Lan Ran’s Bengyu, who knows which side the Spirit King would support then!
If he goes to save him and the Spirit King helps Yohaba to hammer him a couple of times, wouldn’t that be ridiculous!
Compared to Yohaba, the Spirit King is much easier to deal with...
"I understand, since I’ve already reached an agreement with the Guardian Court Thirteen Divisions, the situations in Kosu Town and the Hollow Realm are temporarily settled, it stands to reason that I should go back and assist."
In the headquarters of the Guardian Court Thirteen Divisions, the remaining captains looked at the now-tidied Que Bu Zhang Cilang’s remains, all with rather sullen expressions.
"Even when Lan Ran defected, he didn’t kill any vice-captain!"
The youngest, Dong Shilang, seemed somewhat incredulous.
Que Bu Zhang Cilang was actually very powerful within the Guardian Court Thirteen Divisions, certainly capable of holding his own as a captain in any other division, possessing his own Unsealing, and leaving a scar on Old Man Yamamoto’s forehead.
Moreover, he participated in the bloody battle a thousand years ago and even pierced through Yohaba from behind.
This was likely why he became the first target.
But due to his loyalty, he willingly stayed in the headquarters, serving as Old Man Yamamoto’s trusted deputy!
In terms of feelings, Old Man Yamamoto and he were quite close.
At this moment, standing with his cane, the darkened expression, and the faintly dangerous aura nearby, truly reflected Old Man Yamamoto’s fury.
"No matter who they are, we will find them, and then I will personally lead, and erase them!"
Old Man Yamamoto forcefully struck the ground with his cane, making a loud ’thud’.
"But right now, we don’t even know how they got in, the Soul Cleansing Court shows no signs of intrusion."
"Even when Mr. Jack invaded before, he was detected; this time, there was no warning at all, making it a complete surprise."
