As soon as these words were spoken, an extremely sharp light suddenly appeared in Captain Yamamoto's eyes.

He looked at Xia Mu in disbelief.

In this war, although the Gotei 13 had made a lot of preparations and took the initiative at the moment, killing members of Yhwach's advance team and even knew Yhwach's weaknesses, there was still one biggest problem they faced if they wanted to win this war.

That is, until now, the Gotei 13 does not know where Yhwach is hiding.

Even if they tried their best to explore, even if they kept searching.

But no further traces of the Quincy were discovered.

But what is certain is that Youhabach is definitely hiding somewhere in the world.

At this moment, he was watching the movements of the Grim Reapers with a unique gaze.

If it were a head-on battle, Captain-General Yamamoto believed that he was no less capable than Yhwach, and the Gotei 13 would not be weaker than the Sterncross Knights under Yhwach's command. However, the current situation was that the enemy was in the dark and they were in the light, and as long as there was no trace of Yhwach, there would always be variables in this war.

But now, what did he hear?
Xia Mu actually said that he knew the whereabouts of Youhabach.

"Why are you telling me this now?"

Captain Yamamoto asked Natsuki in a stern voice.

He was a little unhappy.

If Xia Mu had known about this for a long time but kept it to himself, wouldn't that have directly cost them a lot of time to prepare and lost the initiative?

At that time, if the war was lost due to such reasons, Xia Mu would be the undisputed sinner.

"In fact, I just learned about this as well. Otherwise, I wouldn't be here to talk to you today and tell you these things."

"Compared to you, my desire for victory in this war is no less than anyone else's."

Xia Mu spoke and expressed his determination to Captain Yamamoto.

Captain Yamamoto looked at Xia Mu deeply, wanting to say something, but in the end, nothing came out.

Although there are many mysteries hidden in Natsuki, considering Natsuki's previous actions, Captain Yamamoto is still willing to believe Natsuki.

No matter whether it was the many turmoils that occurred in Soul Society back then, or the later fight against Aizen, it was Natsuki who turned the tide and achieved victory, making everything turn for the better.

Even the fact that the Quincy had revealed their whereabouts this time and the several victories that Soul Society had achieved so far were all related to Natsuki.

So, where is the Quincy hiding?

……

"Border breaking!"

Xia Mu gave the answer.

Naturally, another captain's meeting was held.

Ever since the Quincy crisis was imminent and until now when the Quincy revealed its tracks, the captains of the Gotei 13 have been having a small meeting every three days and a big meeting every five days.

In the Soul Society today, the Central Forty-six Chambers no longer exist, and even several major nobles have either lost power or voluntarily stopped interfering with the Gotei 13.

The real decision-makers in Soul Society are now the Gotei 13.

Whenever there is something important, the captains will get together to discuss it.

Of course, in meetings, the ones who really make the decisions are always the same few people.

Most of the captains are just going with the flow and are there just to make up the numbers. If you ask them to fight, their strength is average and they are not sure of winning. If you ask them to discuss matters, they cannot come up with any meaningful opinions.

At this moment, after hearing the answer given by Xia Mu, many people were stunned.

"They are hiding in the Broken World. No wonder we couldn't find them for so long."

Hirako Mako looked solemn, she was surprised by the answer, but also felt that it was reasonable.

Ever since the Quincy showed up in Hueco Mundo.

During this period of time, the Gotei 13 has been trying its best to search for the whereabouts of the Quincy, but the result is disappointing.

Whether in the real world, Hueco Mundo, or in the Soul Society where they lived, no trace of the existence of the Quincies was found, as if the Quincies had never existed in this world. Even before that, the ancestor of the Quincies, Yhwach, had appeared at the door of Ishida's house and met Natsuki, but after that, those Quincies disappeared again.

The Soul Society's detection equipment was about to start smoking, but they still found nothing.

This is undoubtedly a disappointing thing.

Although the war between the Shinigami and the Quincies was inevitable after the war began, and they would face off sooner or later, if possible, the Gotei 13 would rather take the initiative rather than passively fight.

After all, if you take the initiative, you can take the lead.

If we are passive, no one knows what will happen at that time.

"How did Captain Xia Mu know that they were hiding in the Broken World?" Liu Che Quanxi asked Xia Mu.

Fengqiao Loujuro also expressed his own opinion, "Can you really survive in a place like the Broken World?"

The world of severance is actually not unfamiliar to the god of death.

Whether going to the real world or to the Hueco Mundo, one needs to pass through this transit zone, which is an area composed of countless broken worlds. Because they are broken worlds, their existence is extremely fragile, and the speed of time flow is also unique. There are also Juliu and Jutu, which cleanse foreign matter in the broken world from time to time.

If the Quincy is hiding among them, don't you really worry about being affected by the Juliu and Jutu?
Xia Mu said calmly: "For the first question, I learned their hiding place from those dead Quincy."

"Since I have discovered that Yhwach's weakness is his soul, I have naturally done some research on the soul field. In other words, the abilities I have mastered can help me obtain some information from the souls of those dead Quincies..."

After saying this, the captains no longer had any doubts about how Xia Mu knew the whereabouts of the Quincy.

As I said, after so many years, they have become accustomed to the mystery surrounding Xia Mu.

It would be enough for Xia Mu to explain a sentence or two, and they would not force Xia Mu to give too detailed an answer.

"The second question is, although the environment of the Severed World is very harsh, there is a Jutu inside it, which is like a scavenger constantly clearing out the substances inside, but the Jutu is not as strong as imagined. With the strength of Youhabach, it is not too difficult to destroy the Jutu. At the same time, with the means of the Quincy, it is not too difficult to block the influence of the Jutu."

"Don't forget, something happened in the previous Broken World."

Everyone's eyes fixed, and they immediately thought of what happened before the final battle with Aizen.

There was turmoil in the Broken World, and the Missing Pearls appeared in the real world. The owed souls that made up the world chased after the Missing Pearls, causing the world to continue to expand. If things were allowed to continue, the isolation zone between Soul Society and the real world would be destroyed, and the two worlds would definitely suffer heavy damage, if not completely destroyed.

It can be said that it was an extremely serious crisis.

Fortunately, Xia Mu, Kurosaki Ichigo and others finally found out the source of the crisis and stopped it from happening in time. Now, the girl Akane Shizuku, who was transformed by the Missing Pearl, lives in the Kurosaki family.

"Back then, the Quincies were able to open up a vast spiritual space in the shadow of our Soul Society. With their means, it wouldn't be difficult for them to open up a small world in the Broken World."

At this point, everyone had no more questions.

After determining where the Quincy were hiding, the next question was what to do with them.

Sneak into that world and take the initiative to attack?
Or use other methods to fight against the Quincy?

Just as everyone was talking about it, Captain Yamamoto made an unexpected decision.

"Anchor that slash and use the Kidō Cannon to destroy it!"

After this proposal was made, not only did the captains look at the captain-general in horror, but even Xia Mu looked at him with some surprise.

After learning the whereabouts of the Quincy, he immediately found the captain-general, and after confirming his determination, he chose to tell him the Quincy's hiding place.

I thought the captain-general would choose to take the initiative and let the Gotei 13 invade the space of Dangai and fight against the Quincies.

Unexpectedly, the captain's choice was even more decisive.

"The Broken World is not the same as the soul particle space hidden in the shadow of the Soul Society. If we use the Kidō Cannon to destroy it, it is very likely to affect the stability of the three realms." Urahara Kisuke expressed his concerns.

After he said this, no one else expressed similar opinions.

Captain Yamamoto said in a deep voice: "Perhaps the Three Realms will be turbulent because of this, but this level of turbulence will not destroy the Three Realms. However, this is not the case with Yhwach. If left unchecked, it will be a huge threat that is enough to destroy the entire Three Realms."

After this, no one said anything more.

After all, in today's Gotei 13, many important matters are discussed by everyone together and finally decided.

But the one who really makes the decision is Captain Yamamoto.

After the death of the Central Forty-six Chambers, this old man who has guarded Soul Society for a thousand years is now the uncrowned king of Soul Society.

In addition, Captain Yamamoto knows enough about Yhwach.

Thousands of years ago, when Yhwach invaded Soul Society, it was Captain-General Yamamoto who defeated him. Everyone else knew the threat posed by Yhwach, but they didn't know him as well as they imagined.

Captain-General Yamamoto said that the threat posed by Yhwach is enough to destroy the three realms, so this must be the case.

The proposal to use the Kidō Cannon was easily passed.

For the captains except for the 12th Division, all they had to do was agree. But after the meeting, Urahara Kisuke, as the captain of the 12th Division, had a lot more things to consider.

He was busy enough during this period.

The task of dealing with the Quincy's many back-up plans all fell on him. Now he had one more task, which was to anchor the space where the Quincy were hiding within the Severed World and make sure that the Kidō Cannon could destroy that space. Although the destruction of the Severed World would affect the surrounding big world.

But if possible, Urahara Kisuke still wants to minimize the impact as much as possible.

……

Although the Broken Realms are all ruined worlds, they are actually not small in terms of area. In fact, they are even larger than the Three Realms.

These worlds are all failures in the process of creating the Three Realms.

They are stacked up one on top of another, separating the three realms and forming the next layer.

If these worlds did not exist, with the size of the Three Realms, a collision is a matter of sooner or later. Because the worlds are overlapping and intertwined, the laws here are extremely chaotic, and time and space are in an extremely unstable state, so that the flow of time is much faster than that of the outside world.

If we only consider the speed of time flow, this is undoubtedly a good place for cultivation.

One day in the outside world is nearly three years here.

But there are problems. There are Jutu and Juliu here. They are clearing out all outsiders. Apart from that, there are no spirits here.

Even spiritual creatures like the Grim Reaper can live without food, but they still need spiritual particles. If they lose the supply of spiritual particles, their spiritual bodies will quickly dry up and die from lack of nutrients.

In addition, the accumulation of many broken worlds also brings another problem.

If someone rashly enters the Broken World without any guidance or signposts, it would be easy to get lost in it.

In the Soul Society there used to be a form of exile as a punishment, which was to exile criminals to the Dangai without giving them the Hell Butterfly to guide them, leaving them to fend for themselves in hell.

It was for this reason that Yan Long originally wanted to take revenge on Soul Society.

At this moment, in the core area of ​​the Broken World.

There are many Quincies who are leading the souls that accidentally get lost in the Severed World. Using the abilities that the Quincies possess, they completely destroy these souls and turn them into pure spirit particles. Based on these spirit particles, they create a whole new world in the Severed World.

This world is very similar to the small world called Valley, but it is also different.

Within the small world.

The palace stands tall.

This is the palace belonging to the Quincy.

After arriving in the Eastern World, many Quincy have been hiding here, carrying out the so-called construction.

Also, because time flows extremely fast within the Broken Realm, only a few days pass in the outside world, but here, many years have passed.

Their palaces were already built with incredible beauty.

Naturally, due to the special nature of the Broken Realm, they also gained a lot of time here to prepare for the war.

Of course, if possible, they don't actually like to stay in the broken world.

Instead, he wanted to find another big world as his base.

However, due to the incident with the advance team of Hueco Mundo, His Majesty the Emperor has no plans to continue sending troops to Hueco Mundo and occupy it for the time being. For now, they can only stay here honestly.

So, what is His Majesty the Emperor thinking?
Why do you keep shrinking and are unwilling to take the initiative?

Inside the palace, Youhabach sat on the throne.

"The time is almost up!"

Although a long time has passed in the Broken Realm, all time is based on the flow of time in the Three Realms. According to his prediction of conquering the world, there are still a few days left. When those days come, he will take the initiative to attack, and then conquer the world in nine days according to the prediction. (End of this chapter)
