Exile

While Zhang Miao and Yoruichi enjoyed the joy of reuniting with old friends, the Seireitei came under attack from Hollows.

Dozens of semi-Arrancar Hollows suddenly appeared within the Seireitei. Most of them were Adjuchas-class. Although the 13th Division ultimately wiped them out, they caused considerable chaos and casualties in the Seireitei.

That was no minor charge. It was practically equivalent to treason.

If an ordinary Soul Reaper were branded with such a charge, they would certainly be escorted back to the Soul Society and reduced to ashes beneath the Sōkyoku Spear, whose power was equivalent to a million Zanpakuto.

But failing to punish
