Chapter 534 Captains’ Choice

"Is this the place?"

As Hirako asked, the group came to the edge of a lake that stretched as far as the eye could see. There were many people on the shore, but they would not look crowded if they stood up separately.

Ginjo looked around, and the people who were closer to them were obviously peeking at them, whispering to each other, but judging from their expressions and sneaky gestures, it was probably not a good thing.

Ichigo was not as sensitive as Ginjo, and at this moment he was a little confused looking at the lake in front of him, "Mr. Chouzuka and Yoruichi's wedding ceremony is here? Didn't they say it was at some shrine?"

"Yes, this is the shrine." Haiyan nodded to confirm.

"But there is no shrine here at all." Ichigo scratched his head and wondered, "Is there a shrine rising from the water?"

Inoue closed his eyes, then slowly opened them and said uncertainly, "I seem to feel a barrier, which is very powerful but also difficult to find... Or maybe I feel it wrong."

She really couldn't be sure. At the beginning, she easily found and passed through the barrier set by Arishoda Boxuan.

But the lake in front of her gave Inoue a very strange feeling. There was nothing, but it gave people a feeling that they couldn't move forward, but there was no particularly strong breath of the barrier, which was really weird.

While she was thinking, she didn't know that Arishoda and Heizi subconsciously looked at her, especially Arishoda. He knew that Inoue had a good talent in this area, but he didn't expect that the other party could actually sense the barrier here.

"Did I say something wrong?" Inoue noticed the gazes of several people and asked softly.

"I don't know if that guy Chouzuka is just lucky or has a sharp eye. The potential of each of you is enough to make people jealous."

Hirako couldn't help but sigh. Of course, the shrine is protected by a barrier, but most people can hardly even detect it, let alone break into it.

Seeing Inoue's questioning face, Arishoda Boxuan pointed to the position behind everyone: "Look at the road you came from."

Everyone turned around and saw that the road they came from had been covered by a thick fog. Through the thick fog, they could actually see the traces of the rock wall.

Strangely, they remembered clearly that although the surroundings became more and more desolate along the way, they did not pass any mountains!

"Strictly speaking, we have passed the first barrier protecting the shrine. Of course, there is another barrier around the shrine, right there." Arisada pointed to the lake in front of him, turned to Inoue and said, "Although I only noticed one barrier, you are really amazing, Inoue."

More than amazing, Hirako secretly sighed in his heart, the shrine responsible for offerings, sacrifices, and even rumored to be able to communicate with the Soul King, its status in the Seireitei is extremely transcendent.

Although the shrine manager does not bring any visible power, being related to it is a symbol of power in itself. This is a holy place that non-nobles cannot enter!

The history of the three barriers protecting this shrine is as old as the Seireitei, and it has been blessed by the Jinji family among the great nobles for generations. It is hard to say how defensive it is, but it has reached a very exaggerated level in terms of concealment. Not to mention the general members of the Gotei 13, even the Kidō who specialize in practicing Kidō, the vice-captain of the Gotei 13, and even some captains who are not good at Kidō cannot detect the barrier protecting the shrine.

Pingzi didn't doubt whether Hongjiang could detect it, but it was beyond his expectation that Inoue could find it. Even if the other party was not sure, it was enough to be proud of that he could feel it at such an age.

Perhaps, this little girl could become a more exaggerated ghost way user than Chouzuka in the future?

Pingzi smiled bitterly and put these messy thoughts out of his mind. Let's not talk about whether the Soul Society would allow the ghost way to be selflessly taught to humans. Just talking about the character of the little girl in front of him, she could not become the next Chouzuka.

"So who are you waiting for when you bring us here in a hurry?" Pingzi changed the subject and asked lazily: "Is the wedding ceremony of those two guys really going to start 'soon'?!"

Kenxi just glanced at Pingzi fiercely, and the latter stopped his endless chattering. This guy, he is late and he is right!

In fact, everyone didn't wait for long. They were the kind of people who had their feet landed. After waiting for a while, the people around them suddenly stopped their whispers, stood straight, and looked diagonally behind them.

Fengqiao and Kensei seemed to understand something, and looked to the left. Ichigo and the others saw this, turned around, and saw a group of people coming towards them.

The leader was three old men, and the one in the middle was the captain of the Gotei 13, Yamamoto Genryusai Shigekuni, whom they had seen before.

This old man, who could make people subconsciously tense just by meeting him, was now slightly behind the two old men who were standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

Both of them had white hair and beards, and their black kimonos were embroidered with different but equally complex family crests. The one on the left was burly, with a pair of angry eyes. He just glanced at Ichigo and the others, then turned to the left. The other one seemed to have closed his eyes from beginning to end, and followed the previous old man without even looking at him.

Regardless of whether they were close or far away, as long as they could see them, they all bowed deeply consciously, and waited until the two stood by the lake before they stood up.

"You, are here." Yamamoto came forward and greeted everyone expressionlessly, and without waiting for their reply, he continued: "I will give my sincere blessings to them later."

After saying that, Yamamoto followed the two old men and finally stood behind them, looking ahead with a calm face, as if what he had just said to them did not exist at all.

Behind the three old men were no more than ten people, both men and women, middle-aged people and young people who looked young. Then came the remaining captains of the Gotei 13 who had taken off their captain's haori today, whom Ichigo and others had seen. The tall and thin Kenpachi Zaraki and the burly Kashiwamura were the most conspicuous among them.

Ichigo shrank back the moment he saw Kenpachi. He was afraid that this man would fight him right here if he was interested.

"Ichigo!"

Ichigo closed his eyes and felt bad after hearing this. Zaraki's next words also verified his guess: "I heard that you are practicing new power. It seems quite interesting. With me..."

"Shut up. Is this the place for you to make noise?" Soi-Fong shouted. Zaraki looked at him and grinned: "Why, do you want to fight with me?"

"Kenpachi Zaraki!"

"Okay, don't quarrel today. You didn't even bring a sword, did you, Zaraki?"

Kyoraku Shunsui stepped out to make peace, and smiled and said to Ichigo and others: "It's been a long time since we last met. Welcome to attend Hongjiang's wedding this time."

"You're welcome."

After saying that, the squadron leaders headed by Shunsui naturally integrated into Ichigo's group. Zaraki also ran to Ichigo's side and said loudly how boring this ceremony was. It would be more interesting to fight with him.

Sai-Fong also rarely talked about the past with Urahara, but judging from her expression and lip shape, it was more like a one-sided threat.

This happy scene of the god of death and humans also caught the attention of many people around, including the nobles of the Seireitei.
