Chapter 1489: Old Fox vs Old Fox
— I know you sensed something was wrong with me, but I also sensed that you weren't what you were trying to pretend to be. It is always easy for the same people to find their own kind, but we are wolves among sheep. When we first met, I was very puzzled that you managed to rise to the level of captain. Achieving this position for over a hundred years is truly amazing, I'm surprised that you have so much patience, " Su Xiao said as he looked into Aizen's eyes with a smile on his face.
Hearing this, Aizen's eyes flashed dangerously.
— Byakuya, you're smiling too modestly. Everyone has their own desires. The correct expression of these desires will make the disguise more plausible.
— Oh? Really? Su Xiao replied and chuckled.
— We're very close, but your aura remains a problem. I do not know how you suppressed your aura until now, but it has become more pronounced now.
Aizen was still smiling at Su Xiao and stood still. He couldn't make a move first. Once he made a move, all the time he had spent preparing would turn to ash.
The situation was similar for Su Xiao. If he were to fight Aizen, let alone win, even if he could win and leave here alive, he would no longer be able to hide in this place and would be forced to leave.
Although they didn't say so, they knew in their hearts that if they fought now, the result of this battle would be the defeat of both sides.
— But Aizen didn't continue because he wasn't optimistic about Su Xiao's strength, he only decided to start a conversation with him because they were very similar.
Apollo's Anger slipped out of Su Xiao's sleeve and he threw the bomb up. Although it wasn't activated, Aizen could sense the terrifying energy that was contained within Apollo's Wrath. If that bomb had actually exploded near him, he would most likely have ended up dead.
— Sometimes even I don't know what my goal is, but I just don't want to give in to something dirty, so I take action.
Aizen's answer was very vague.
— In other words, you want to overthrow the current ruling power of the Soul Society? Su Xiao asked bluntly.
Aizen's expression didn't change, but Su Xiao noticed that he was a little displeased.
— I'm not going to refute your guesses.
— It is too hypocritical to speak with such vague theses. Let's clarify our dialogue. I'm not going to expose you, and you shouldn't be setting me up. Given that we don't trust each other, this will eventually lead to mutual suspicion and finally a worse scenario, so can we become allies? As Su Xiao was saying this, a group of shinigami passed nearby.
Aizen smiled and nodded at them. In response, they immediately stopped and greeted Aizen with obvious respect.
— Allies? We don't seem to have any common interests, and if you take action against the people of Seireitei in the near future, it will only harm my plans, " Aizen replied, lifting his chin to indicate that they could talk as they walked.
The two of them headed towards the first squad's base.
In the eyes of outsiders, they were just walking and talking about something, in fact, the captain of the fifth squad was just escorting an important scholar to his base right now.
Su Xiao originally didn't want to face Aizen right now as it would increase the risks, but because of the Omen of Death's attack, they met. Aizen might have hypnotized Su Xiao earlier so that he wouldn't affect his plans, but it only ended up leading to a very awkward scene.
After this awkward scene, Su Xiao could turn around and leave, and Aizen wouldn't stop him, but at most in a few hours, Aizen would try to eliminate him by all means available.
Instead of quarreling with Aizen, Su Xiao chose a more favorable path of development, the essence of which was to negotiate. If they form an alliance, then so be it. If not, then he will try to kill him and take the chest that fell from him, after which he will go to the other captains.
He wouldn't be able to kill Yamamoto, but captains with demon hunter Time activated would be fine.
Because of this, Su Xiao directly stated his goal. The best way to negotiate with a sly fox is to clarify the situation. If they can form an alliance, then they will form an alliance. If not, they will try to destroy each other.
Of course, Aizen understood this, so he continued to maintain his image as a good guy and accompanied Su Xiao to the first squad's base.
Soon, Su Xiao and Aizen left the vicinity of the sixth squad's base.
— If you want to kill me, now is the perfect time to do so. Once we get to the first squad's base, you won't have a chance, " Su Xiao said as he walked in front of Aizen.
His back seemed completely exposed, but he was ready to activate Demon Hunt Time at any moment.
— Byakuya, you misunderstood me.
— Su Xiao turned his head and looked at Aizen, who was still pretending to be a kind guy.
— Since you're not going to kill me, let's continue the conversation, " Su Xiao said as he took out a bottle of soul potion from his inventory and tossed it to Aizen. "It's the foundation of my life in the Soul Society. Without this potion, the captains would definitely banish me from the Soul Society or imprison me, " As Su Xiao spoke, he took out a cigarette and lit it.
— It's a good potion, but unfortunately, it can't affect my spiritual pressure.
— Oh? Really? Su Xiao asked and threw him a ping-pong ball-sized energy ball that emitted a milky white light.
As soon as Aizen caught it, he immediately wanted to swallow it. His eyes lit up, and he began to carefully examine this energy ball.
— It consists of solid-state spiritual particles. I have already given this ball all the necessary properties. Su Xiao hesitated for a moment, but decided not to continue.
He recalled the confused expressions on Retsu and Toshiro's faces.
Aizen removed the energy ball. He had already realized that this was a good thing, at least it was a very rare and valuable treasure for any shinigami.
— This is a very valuable item, " Su Xiao only added after a while.
— I agree, " Aizen replied and nodded, but in the next moment, he had a strong urge to kill Su Xiao right here and now.
— But it is only valuable for ordinary shinigami. If you need something really valuable...
The devouring core was fully activated, and a large number of spirit particles gathered around Su Xiao's hands.
After rough cleaning, compressing, and filtering, a new ball of spirit particles appeared on his arm.
— Garbage, " Su Xiao said, and crushed the balloon with a crunch.
This orb was several times cleaner than the one Aizen had just carefully put in his pocket.
The corners of Aizen's eyes twitched slightly, and he silently took out the spirit ball that he had just put away and crushed it.
— If the purity of the ball in your hand is one, then this one that was just destroyed by me is three. As for the maximum, I can create a ball... with a purity of five hundred units.
— … — This time, Aizen didn't react at all, after all, he was an experienced fox.
— By the way, the soul potion is actually not a very good potion. After drinking fifteen potions, the shinigami's spiritual pressure will no longer increase due to further consumption of this potion. In addition, because of the smoothness of different angles, the soul potion has strong side effects. Of course, no one will be able to detect these side effects in the near future, not even Yamamoto himself. In my understanding, the structure of shinigami is very simple. The spiritual pressure is the container inside the shinigami's body, and the spiritual particles are the water inside that container. The soul potion uses water inside the container to forcibly expand it. If you don't specify the upper limit of this potion, the end result will be ... boom~, " Su Xiao abruptly clenched and unclenched his fist.
