[Be careful of this Captain Yamamoto! It was my turn to maintain the seal just now... There was no urgency on this guy's face.] Penguin sent a message to Guan Liyuan who was still in the present world.

[It's normal. If it's old man Yamamoto, he wouldn't be surprised even if

he was really sealed. You should observe the structure of the seal more.] Guan Liyuan felt it was natural. [No, it's definitely not normal! In order to test whether he was really sealed, I just deliberately messed up the spiritual pressure input, making the seal a little unstable... He actually had no intention of breaking the seal at all!] Penguin said.

Guan Liyuan also showed a trace of suspicion when he heard it: [Is it obvious that the seal is unstable? Could it be that the old man has been slow to react?]

[It's very obvious! It's definitely not that he didn't react. The second time, I used my spiritual pressure to interfere with the two little kids in blue pajamas next to me, and my spiritual pressure went out of control with me... After two consecutive obvious disturbances, he even glanced at me, but he didn't mean to come out of the seal.] Penguin said.

[Huh? You are too brave, aren't you? Didn't the others notice? 】

【I was noticed... but I used the excuse that I was "unaccustomed to such a strong spiritual pressure", so the other Zanpakuto didn't suspect anything and just replaced me. 】 Penguin said.

In fact, it's not that the other Zanpakuto were too defensive, but because they regarded "Penguin" as an artistic Zanpakuto.

Because none of the Zanpakuto knew Penguin, and when Kuchiki Byakuya and Guan Liyuan fought before, Guan Liyuan didn't use Penguin's ability...

So in the eyes of the other Zanpakuto, Penguin was a super artistic embodiment of a d-kai Zanpakuto born from a shallow blow from a passerby who didn't even have a Shikai!

Therefore, it was not unexpected that Penguin was unfamiliar with the control of power. It was just to let him try it before. After all, maintaining the seal is easier than fighting the god of death head-on.

But since Penguin can't even do this kind of control, he has to be replaced first!

Because the captain's "Ryujin Jakka Zanka Tachi" was not bewitched by Muramasa, the Zanpakuto only knew that the old man was very strong, but they didn't know how strong he was.

It was Muramasa's order that at least six people maintained the seal.

Seeing Penguin's two mistakes, Yamamoto did not resist, but made the Zanpakuto underestimate Yamamoto Shigekuni even more. Only Penguin felt that Yamamoto Shigekuni was not too old to react, but deliberately did not react!

[Deliberately sealed? What exactly does he want to do... He should know the current situation of the Ōsrei Ting, right? ] Guan Liyuan couldn't help but wonder.

But in the end, Guan Liyuan still said: [Forget it, don't try old man Yamamoto anymore, concentrate on finding out other information, and wait for Muramasa to appear... Although you won't die, if you are exposed, you will lose the opportunity to be "undercover". 】

Guan Liyuan suddenly remembered another thing...

When Kenpachi Zaraki just became the captain, Captain-General Yamamoto once taught him kendo, but Kenpachi chose to give up after just one day and mentioned to Yachiru Kusaka that he was tricked by Yamamoto.

Compared with the "monster" Yamamoto Shigekuni who practiced, Kenpachi Zaraki is a natural "monster", but because of his "masochistic" physique, Kenpachi Zaraki will weaken himself willfully when there is no opponent. Yamamoto Shigekuni also knows the true strength and potential of Kenpachi Zaraki!

However, in the original manga, after Yamamoto's death, Kyoraku Shunsui succeeded as the captain-general. When he proposed to teach Kenpachi Zaraki the slashing technique to enable him to exert his true strength and potential, a noble from the Central Forty-Sixth Room let it slip during the argument that the reason why Kenpachi gave up learning kendo in one day was actually the result of Yamamoto's deliberate induction!

Because Kenpachi, who does not learn kendo and continues to weaken himself, is a controllable blade for the Soul Society...

From this point of view, Yamamoto is definitely not a muscle man or an idiot who only knows kendo, but a real cunning old man. Although he always reacts half a beat slower and even indirectly assists when facing the enemy's conspiracy, he is a master at internal rectification.

If you think about it carefully, Yamamoto is not from a noble family, but he was able to become the captain of the Gotei 13 after defeating Yhwach a thousand years ago, and he has been the captain for a thousand years. He also founded the Shin'ō Academy of Spiritual Arts to train civilian Shinigami, making the Gotei 13 not only the voice of the nobles...

Is it just because Yamamoto Shigekuni is strong?

Hibiki is also very strong, and he is the son-in-law of the Kuchiki family. Isn't he also played badly?

Guan Liyuan suddenly felt that he should re-examine Yamamoto Shigekuni's attitude in this matter!

From this point of view, there are also great doubts about Kuchiki Hibiki being only sealed at the beginning...

Although Hibiki is also very strong, he is not like Aizen in the later period who cannot be killed and can only be sealed and imprisoned. Moreover, from the perspective of the crime, when he killed several Shinigami who framed him, he met the standard of death penalty, not to mention the indiscriminate killing of innocent people later.

Could it be that Yamamoto is expecting Hibiki to repent during the long seal?

Judging from his behavior towards Kenpachi Zaraki, this old man is definitely not that naive!

[Is it to lure out Muramasa? Or... once Hibiki is unsealed in the "future", he will turn against Muramasa, which is already within his expectations? ] Guan Liyuan suddenly had this idea in his mind.

But if you think about it carefully, it is not unreasonable!

Although Hibiki is very strong, he is not as strong as Kenpachi Zaraki. On the contrary, the power of "Muramasa" is a huge threat to the Shinigami.

At the beginning, Hibiki failed to summon "Muramasa". If Hibiki was killed rashly... ordinary Zanpakuto will "die" and turn back into ordinary Asauchi after the holder dies.

But... Muramasa is obviously not an ordinary Zanpakutō!

If we think in reverse, suppose that when Hibiki was killed, Muramasa did not die.

If the action principle is "revenge on the god of death", Muramasa's threat to "Soul Court" is not even less than that of Aizen!

Although he is far inferior to Aizen in strength, Muramasa's ability was too effective before Master Wang patched his Zanpakutō. The reason why Hibiki was so easily framed was because the upper echelons themselves were afraid of Muramasa's power.

In this way, it is not surprising that Yamamoto is "sealed" at the right time.

[It seems that the situation is more urgent than expected, and Muramasa must be found as soon as possible. ] Guan Liyuan muttered to himself.

Since old man Yamamoto has his own calculations, and it is very likely to completely destroy Muramasa, then for Guan Liyuan's goal, the difficulty will undoubtedly become higher. With this in mind, Guan Liyuan specially found Urahara Kisuke again.

Before being recommended by Yoruichi to become the captain of the 12th Division, Urahara once served as the third seat in the 2nd Division and served in the Secret Mobile Force. His job was to guard those Shinigami who were judged to be "a threat to the Soul Society" even though they had not committed any specific crimes...

"Manager Urahara, how long ago did you become a Shinigami?"

"It should be more than a hundred years ago, right? What happened?" Urahara said, opening his small fan.

It's a pity... In terms of the age of Shinigami, Urahara and Yoruichi are still very "young", so although Urahara has served as the squad leader of the inspection team of the Secret Mobile Force, and the current Mayuri Kurotsuchi was bailed out from the maggot nest by him, he does not know the "older" Kuchiki Hibiki.

"Why? Didn't Mr. Cheng Gong say before that he was not interested in this matter?" Urahara asked tentatively.

When Ichigo went to Soul Society before, Guan Liyuan just watched him enter the passage with a "pitying" look...

"I suddenly remembered something I care about."

And at this moment, Penguin finally informed Guan Liyuan that Muramasa appeared in the Zanpakuto Corps!

After confirming that Muramasa did not want to unseal Hibiki now, and probably had not yet finalized the specific seal location, Guan Liyuan released the Hell Butterfly of the Zero Squad: "It seems that I have to go to Soul Society again."
