Chapter 493

The best way to relieve stress is to find a scapegoat, and Chen Fan Chen Fan undoubtedly the scapegoat in this case.

At this moment, Toshiro led the members of the 10th Division in. When the other divisions saw that it was the 10th Division, they all lowered their heads and turned away. However, a few members of the divisions stared intently at the 10th Division, as if a fight might break out at any moment.

It was the Shinigami of the 3rd Division, 5th Division, 7th Division, and Ninth Division. Now, Soul Society was facing an unprecedented disaster. The captains of the 11th Division and 12th Division were injured in the battle against the Intruders, and there were very few captains left who could be used. In their memory, the Fourth Division Captain, Unohana Retsu, was not good at fighting, and the Captain-General of the First Division was responsible for guarding the Seireitei. The remaining captains were Soi Fon, the Second Division Captain; Soifon, the captain of the 6th Division Byakuya Kuchiki; Shunsui Kyoraku, the captain of the 8th Division; Jushiro Ukitake, the captain of the 13th Division.

They suddenly sensed something was amiss. Almost all the remaining combat captains had some connection with Chen Fan, and a bold idea popped into their heads: 'rebellion'. Their expressions subtly changed; was the Soul Society about to undergo a major upheaval?

When Toshiro and Rangiku Matsumoto arrived at the cafeteria, the Shinigami behind them saw the others glaring at them and couldn't help but glare angrily at Shinigami. Their provocative gazes made even the Shinigami of the 10th Division feel an urge to rush up and kill them.

Toshiro immediately reached out and stopped the Shinigami behind him, saying, "Don't be impulsive. This is a critical moment for Soul Society. We can't afford to have our own people fighting before the culprit and the Intruders have been fully apprehended..."

"Who says the 10th Division is on our side? We're not. We're from the 3rd Division."

"We are from the 5th Division."

"We are the 7th Division."...

"You!" The members of the 10th Division were furious and reached for their Zanpakuto at their waists, but Toshiro raised his right hand, signaling them not to attack;

"I'm currently investigating who's behind this. I don't want to hear any rumors smearing the 10th Division. I'll let it slide this time, but if they dare to say it again..."

"Clang!" Toshiro Zanpakuto, then sheathed it again, and led the members of the 10th Division away. After the 10th Division had all left;

"Crack...!" The water glass on the table began to crack, spilling all the water inside. "Such a fast blade," everyone thought to themselves. The 10th Division had long since stolen the title of the strongest combat team from the 11th Division, so their claim of framing them actually implied that they were jealous of the 10th Division.

"Crack!" It seemed that water had moistened the cracks in the table, and the table split in two. They could split a table in half, but they couldn't do it so neatly and smoothly.

Half of the captains of Soul Society have lost their fighting power. Unbeknownst to them, the invasion of the Intruders has turned what was originally a farce into a horror story. Tomorrow is Rukia's execution day. Perhaps the root of the problem lies here. They all hope it will end here. The Shinigami within Seireitei are almost turning on each other.

Chen Fan's current treatment is even more luxurious than a presidential suite because Chen Fan severely injured Kensei Muguruma, the Captain of the Seventh Division. Although Kensei Muguruma attacked first, the real responsibility lies with Chen Fan, as Chen Fan almost completely overwhelmed Kensei Muguruma. Kashiwamura could have left or waited for the Captain-General to arrive, but Chen Fan struck first and seriously injured him. Therefore, Chen Fan has no objection to this.

Everything around him was sealed off, with an unknown thickness of Sealing Stone placed inside. Instead of railings, there was a closed iron gate in front of him. A lamp provided illumination for Chen Fan, and the interior was arranged quite comfortably for Chen Fan, with a bed and books, to keep Chen Fan from getting too bored—a treatment befitting a repeat offender.

"Squeak...!" The iron gate opened, and a person walked in;

"How do you feel (Zhao), Lord Chen Fan! The feeling of being betrayed and abandoned by everyone!" It was Sosuke Aizen, the deceased Fifth Division Captain.

Chen Fan opened his eyes and looked at Aizen. This time, unlike before, he didn't ignore Aizen. Chen Fan asked, "Aizen, what is your purpose?"

"Destroy the Soul Society and establish a new order! The Seireitei is so corrupt; it needs a complete overhaul."

"To be honest, I'm not interested. You know what my wish is. Let's keep to ourselves. If you treat me well, I'll repay you tenfold. I won't pursue this since you haven't broken the rules yet. Or perhaps my usefulness has ended, and you can kill me." Chen Fan's eyes narrowed slightly, releasing a murderous aura. Now that his Chen Fan Zanpakuto no longer in his hand, in a sense, this was the best time to kill Chen Fan, especially since Aizen had used Illusion on the others, Complete Hypnosis ability. Even Chen Fan felt this was the perfect opportunity.

Aizen smiled and waved his hand, saying, "No, no, no...! Lord Chen Fan! Your being alive is the greatest help to me. How could I possibly have the thought of killing you? Look at the chaos in Soul Society right now; it's all because of you, Lord Chen Fan, that we're alive."

"Then what are you doing here? Trying to persuade me? You should know that's impossible." Chen Fan also a little curious. Aizen wasn't the type to pester people relentlessly. Every time he said he wanted to persuade Chen Fan to join his team, he actually had his own purpose. He wouldn't do anything pointless; that's just the kind of man he was.

Aizen smiled and said, "I'm here to help you, Lord Chen Fan."

"Help me? Help me with what? Help me escape from prison! Then there's no need to trouble you, Master Lan. I'm very comfortable here, eating well, sleeping well, and I don't have to work. I've even gained weight in the past few days." Chen Fan lay down on the bed, seemingly quite satisfied with his current situation.

Hearing Chen Fan's words, Aizen couldn't help but smile and shake his head. Chen Fan's personality was the only one he truly understood yet found utterly exasperating. "I'm just here to deliver a message. You know Lord Chen Fan, our 5th Division's duty is rescue. We received a rescue request not long ago, but I was already dead at that time, so I couldn't relay it. The message said that some unusual Hollows had appeared in the East 51st District of Rukongai. It seems that Lieutenant-Captain Kaien Shiba and Third Seat Miako Shiba are both on a mission there..."

Chen Fan's face instantly darkened, his eyes filled with murderous intent, while Aizen remained smiling. Some people's feelings fade over time, especially in the Soul Society and the Seireitei.
