Chapter 134
"Don't let him escape!"
Takatori Tsunayashiro had long anticipated that Kaelith wouldn't kill Yoruichi Shihōin.
Therefore, the mont Kaelith's body burst into light, he shouted angrily.
However, the four Adjuchas-class Hollows retreated slightly, as if they had encountered sothing dangerous.
Taking this opportunity, Kaelith grabbed Yoruichi and vanished using Shunpo.
Seeing this, Takatori was nearly furious enough to have a heart attack.
Just monts ago, the four Hollows were very close to Kaelith.
If they had rushed forward together, even if Kaelith used so trick, there would have been no chance for him to escape!
"You fools! What are you doing!"
Takatori shouted in rage.
The spider-shaped Hollow was the first to react.
"…He just used sothing that emitted a Reiatsu repellent to Hollows."
"Chase after them!"
The first sentence was an explanation to Takatori Tsunayashiro.
The latter was directed at the other three Hollows.
The other three nodded and together pursued in the direction Kaelith had fled.
After the four Hollows set off, Takatori seed to realize sothing, and the anxiety on his face gradually disappeared.
He looked at Tai Takada: "Let's follow them."
Tai Takada was sowhat worried: "Can we catch up? Those two are from the Stealth Force; their anti-tracking skills are top-notch."
Takatori chuckled: "Don't worry, they won't get away."
Saying this, his figure flashed and disappeared from the spot.
Tai Takada was puzzled but hurried to follow.
After chasing for over ten minutes, the four Hollows suddenly stopped.
They gathered in an open area, and expressions of surprise appeared behind their Hollow masks.
"What happened?!"
Takatori caught up using Shunpo and asked loudly.
The spider Hollow said with so confusion: "Are those two Shinigami really coming to Hueco Mundo for the first ti?"
"Of course! That guy just graduated! Before graduation, he was a first-year student… How could he have been to Hueco Mundo?!"
"As for Yoruichi Shihōin, she's the head of one of the Five Great Noble Clans; which elder would dare let her co to Hueco Mundo?"
The spider Hollow shook its body.
"That's strange…"
"Those two very skillfully found the entrance to the Forest of nos and went down below."
"Even for Hollows, it requires so experience and detection ability to identify the entrances to the Forest of nos."
"Why are those two Shinigami so adept?"
Takatori frowned: "The Forest of nos?"
The spider Hollow slowly explained: "The Forest of nos is a vast underground cavern, distributed in various locations of Hueco Mundo…"
"Enough with the explanations; hurry and chase them!" Takatori interrupted. "If Yoruichi Shihōin escapes, I'll tell Baraggan it was you fools who ssed up!"
The spider Hollow was silent for a mont, then, without hesitation, dove into the sand.
"Let's go."

In the deep underground space, Kaelith led Yoruichi, moving among giant stone pillars.
Seeing the distant groups of Hollows migrating like animals, Yoruichi couldn't help but show a curious expression.
As she followed Kaelith using Shunpo, she asked curiously:
"Kaelith, when we ran just now, why did those Hollows not only not chase us but even retreated?"
"Because I threw a Hollow Repellent Stick."
"A Hollow Repellent Stick?"
"A tool that emits a Reiatsu which Hollows dislike. It's an experintal product made by a friend of mine, not yet on the market."
A look of surprise appeared in Yoruichi's eyes.
Is there such a genius in the Soul Society who can make tools like that?
She instinctively thought of how Kaelith occasionally pressured Kisuke Urahara into making various gadgets.
Could it have been made by Kisuke Urahara? Then she suddenly thought of sothing.
"By the way… Kaelith, you seem very familiar with Hueco Mundo?"
"That entrance just now, I didn't notice anything special, but you imdiately determined it led to the Forest of nos."
"Have you been to Hueco Mundo before?"
Kaelith coughed lightly: "Sort of."
"Hmph…"
Hearing Kaelith's sowhat evasive answer, Yoruichi narrowed her eyes.
She relented and finally asked, "What do we do now?"
As she asked this, she was actually a bit worried.
Running aimlessly like this, even if they didn't fall into Takatori's hands, they wouldn't be able to return to the Soul Society anyti soon.
Currently, the Central 46 eting was in progress; if news of her disappearance spread…
Just thinking about that scenario made her scalp tingle.
But Kaelith smiled.
"Don't worry."
"Our goal now is simple… we just need to find soone!"
Hearing this, Yoruichi showed a puzzled expression.
"Find soone?"
---
At the First Division barracks.
Yamamoto stood in his study, his back to the door.
The entire room was filled with a tense atmosphere.
Jūshirō Ukitake knelt in the room, unable to hide the worry in his eyes.
But he still comforted:
"Master, please don't worry. With Shunsui there, things shouldn't be too bad…"
Before he could finish, a figure suddenly appeared in the room.
"Report the situation."
Yamamoto spoke in a deep voice.
The Stealth Force mber bowed his head: "Report! A massive explosion occurred at the scene; an area within a hundred ters radius centered on the Kyōgoku House has been razed!"
"After the Stealth Force arrived at the scene, they did not find the Corps Commander (Yoruichi) or Third Seat Kaelith!"
"Eighth Division Captain Shunsui Kyōraku was severely injured. He has been taken over by Captain Unohana for ergency treatnt and is being transported here!"
Yamamoto opened his eyes: "Are there any traces of Kaelith's movents?"
"None! Apart from residual Reiatsu from Third Seat Kaelith, no movent traces were found at the scene!"
Hearing this, Yamamoto frowned.
At that mont, another Stealth Force mber appeared using Shunpo.
"Report!"
"The Twelfth Division has sent back a field investigation report. The space at the scene is extrely unstable and contains a large amount of Reishi from Hueco Mundo!"
"According to our analysis, soone may have forcibly opened a passage to Hueco Mundo at the scene!"
Upon hearing this, Yamamoto's expression changed dramatically.
This is bad!
If Kaelith and Yoruichi Shihōin were forcibly taken to Hueco Mundo, Seireitei would undoubtedly be thrown into chaos.
Despite her youth and relatively average strength, Yoruichi's decisive personality, bold style, and her unmistakable exceptional talent made her a convincing leader.
Under her leadership, the Shihōin family had rallied many fence-sitting nobles, securing several seats in Central 46.
If sothing happened to Yoruichi Shihōin, those hard-won fence-sitters would surely waver again.
Even more concerning, the elders of the Shihōin family might also beco unstable.
After pondering for a few seconds, he said:
"Ukitake."
"Go find Captain Hikifune and convey my orders: have her do everything possible to find Kaelith and Yoruichi Shihōin."
"Whatever assistance or resources she needs, provide them all!"
Ukitake hurriedly nodded.
Just as he was about to depart, he saw Yamamoto also walking step by step toward the door.
"…Master? Where are you going?"
Ukitake couldn't help but ask.
The old man leaned on his cane and answered calmly:
"To the Central 46 eting."
