Chapter 137: The Great Underground Prison, the Meeting of Two Generations of Kenpachi!
The lowest level of the underground prison, the eighth prison “Mujian”, is the most terrifying prison in Soul Society. Only the most vicious criminals in history are qualified to be imprisoned here.

Ordinary prisoners were either exiled or sentenced to death.

There is only one exception: one type of prisoner.

That is, an extremely dangerous and powerful criminal.

If such a prisoner is exiled rashly, it will be tantamount to leaving hidden dangers.

If executed, the death of such a being with powerful spiritual pressure is itself a very dangerous thing.

Not to mention that it is very difficult to kill.

After the killing, an extremely complicated "team burial" ceremony is required to lead the opponent's lingering soul into hell.

Do you think that's all?
You know, hell itself has an upper limit.

If we only think about bringing those high-intensity souls into hell, it will be a burden to hell.

Therefore, based on the above reasons, the safest approach when facing such a powerful criminal is to lock him up and imprison him until his death.

Wu Jian is a prison established under such circumstances.

It is located at the bottom of the First Squadron's barracks.

It is an extremely dark environment here.

In this environment, even spirit particles no longer exist.

Naturally, if the prisoners imprisoned here want to survive, they can only passively consume their own spiritual power, and they will become weaker over the years.

In addition, there are high-strength ropes that cover the prisoners, making them unable to hear, see, and move at all.

But, this is only under normal circumstances.

The Zanpakutō of the God of Death is itself a miraculous object. In the history of Soul Society, countless strange swords have been born.

The sword that Kuchiki Hibiki had before was one of them.

The sword of another Kenpachi who was imprisoned in Wujian before Xia Mu was also a peculiar sword.

It has been in the state of Bankai since its awakening.

So much so that when Kenpachi was imprisoned in the Hell, his sword was not actually confiscated because it could not be seen by others.

This meant that even though he was in hell, he was not completely ignorant of what was happening in the outside world.

For him, the situation where he couldn't see or hear didn't exist at all.

If he wanted, he could even escape from here, it would just take some effort.

But for some reason, he chose to stay in the hell.

"It's so rare that you actually chose to open your eyes."

"How long have you not opened your eyes?"

"One year? Two years? Ten years?"

A sharp female voice suddenly sounded in the dark world.

This is an extremely strange thing.

But it did happen.

The man named Kenpachi Zaraki glanced at the woman beside him with a calm expression. He was not surprised by the woman's presence, because the woman was his Zanpakutō, Uraryu Zheryu, a sword that had been in the Bankai state since he awakened his Zanpakutō.

During these years, in the hell, although he had been sitting quietly in prison, he was actually not lonely.

It wasn't just because Yu Lu Zhe Liu had been nagging in his ear.

Moreover, after he achieved Bankai, he could integrate his own spiritual pressure into all inorganic matter, making the inorganic matter a part of himself, turning it into his eyes, ears, hands and feet, and controlling it.

This was also the reason why he knew a lot of things even though he was in the captain's room.

This was also the reason why he discovered Xia Mu.

Because his Bankai has never been released, even though he is now in the Underworld, this ability still exists. Over the years, the coverage of his Bankai has become larger and larger, and now it has gradually enveloped the entire Soul Society. It can be said that although he is in prison, he knows everything that is happening in the Soul Society.

Even more so, since Yu Lu Zhe Liu can come and go freely in Wu Jian, he can escape from this prison at any time if he wants.

"Are you finally tired of it and want to leave here?"

After chatting with Kenpachi Zaraki for a long time, Yu Lu Zhe Liu asked Kenpachi Zaraki again.

"I haven't decided whether to leave Wu Jian, but I have an old friend in Wu Jian, and I want to go meet him."

Kenpachi Zaraki said so.

As a result, all the restraints that the Seireitei Research Institute had placed on him were untied.

Because Bankai has not been released.

When these binding techniques were imposed on him, they had actually been assimilated by his Bankai power.

In the endless space, there is no light at all, only extreme darkness.

No one knows how big this place is or how many prisoners are held here. After all, this is the most mysterious prison in Soul Society.

Suddenly, a ray of light appeared in the void.

Compared to the darkness that enveloped the entire universe, this light was very dim, but it did illuminate the area in front of the light maker.

A figure wearing a white haori walked slowly forward with a ball of fire in his hand.

Although there are no spirit particles in Wujian, the prisoners imprisoned there are bound by many binding methods and cannot even use the spiritual power in their bodies. However, as long as they get rid of the restraints and can use their own spiritual power, they can still use the ghost methods, but the power will be reduced.

But if it is just used for lighting, it is enough.

After Natsuki was imprisoned in Muken, Kenpachi Zaraki, who was imprisoned there earlier than Natsuki, noticed it. Although he had kept his eyes closed all these years, he still knew some things that happened in Seireitei.

He was very interested in Xia Mu, the team member whom he had once let go.

He was even a little surprised that Natsuki would become the 11th Kenpachi.

But considering the strength that Xia Mu had demonstrated in the past, it is not surprising that Xia Mu could achieve this.

It was the two Kenpachi after him and before Natsuki.

Kenpachi Zaraki felt that their existence was completely tarnishing Kenpachi's name.

Even though he didn't serve as Kenpachi for very long.

But because of Kuriyashiki, Kenpachi Zaraki did identify with the name Kenpachi for a time.

Approaching the area where Xia Mu is.

Zaraki Kenpachi was just about to help Xia Mu untie some of the restraints so as to ask Xia Mu some questions, but he didn't expect that after he approached, a deep voice came into his ears first, "In this hell, can the prisoners walk around freely?"

"It seems that the lowest level of this underground prison, the most terrifying prison in Soul Society, is not that strict!"

Kenpachi Zaraki held up the "bright lamp" made by ghost way to illuminate the front, and found a figure sitting on a special "chair" originally used to imprison prisoners. He crossed his legs, and his other hand was resting on the armrest of the chair, with the back of his hand supporting his cheek, looking very leisurely.

After seeing the appearance of the person coming clearly, the figure sitting on the chair showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, "Hey, isn't this Kenpachi Zaraki? Long time no see. It seems that you are living a comfortable life in the Underworld."

There was also a hint of surprise in Kenpachi Zaraki's eyes, but compared to his surprise, Yu Lu Zhe Liu, who was following behind him and only he could see, talked a lot.

"It's really curious! How did he get rid of his restraints?"

"Or is it just like he said, that Wujian is not that strict?"

Zaraki Kenpachi ignored Yu Lu Zhe Liu's chattering, looked at Natsuki in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Natsuki Kenpachi, you really surprised me."

"Is it an accident that I eventually became Kenpachi? Or is it an accident that I dared to tease you, the former captain?"

Natsuki spoke to Kenpachi Zaraki.

"With the potential you showed back then, I'm not surprised that you became Kenpachi. As for teasing? There's no difference between us now. I'm no longer the captain of the 11th Division, and you're not my subordinate."

Kenpachi Zaraki spoke calmly.

"I'm just curious, what did you do? Why are you imprisoned in Hell?"

Even though he could know most of the things happening in Soul Society through Yu Lu Zhe Liu's ability, he didn't always pay attention to the changes in Soul Society because it was too tiring.

So, why was Natsuki imprisoned, or in other words, what did he do outside of Seireitei?
"If I say I was wronged, would you believe me?"

Natsuki said something in front of Kenpachi Zaraki.

He didn't explain much.

Because even now, he actually doesn't know what Kenpachi Zaraki's position is.

At the same time, he was also surprised by Kenpachi Zaraki's strength.

From the fact that the other party can walk freely in this hell and perform ghost arts, it can be seen that the hell cannot trap Kenpachi Zaraki. If he wants, he should be able to leave here.

But this person did not leave Wujian.

"Even if I believe you, it doesn't seem to have any effect. Are you ready to leave Wujian?"

Kenpachi Zaraki spoke calmly.

"Yes." Xia Mu did not hide it. "To be honest, I was suddenly sentenced by the Central 46th Room and then thrown into the hell. This disrupted some of my plans, but fortunately I was not unprepared."

"This also gives me an opportunity to turn from open to covert. Next, I want to find out what is going on and who is behind it. Of course, if possible, I want revenge."

Xia Mu talked a lot.

His gaze turned to Kenpachi Zaraki again.

"So, after you learned my purpose, you want to stop me from escaping from prison?"

"You clearly have the ability to leave Wujian, but you choose to stay here. You must be a very conservative person."

"If you want to fight me, I don't mind meeting you again. After all, I have been brooding over my defeat to you for a long time."

Kenpachi Zaraki met Natsuki's gaze but shook his head slightly.
