Chapter 69: The King's Mandate and Power Are Targeted! (Please Read!)

Kuchiki Byakuya knew his grandfather very well. When he saw his grandfather's appearance, he immediately asked: "Grandpa, do you know something?"

The expression on Xiumu Yinling's face at this moment was very complicated, some hesitation, some reminiscence, and some pain.

It was the first time that Byakuya Kuchiki saw his grandfather, who was usually calm and unmoved by external things, show such a complicated expression.

"Ah~"

With a heavy sigh, Xiumu Yinling spoke slowly with a somewhat lonely voice: "This matter is a thorn in my heart, and it is also a stain and shame for the Xiumu family."

"I thought that as time passed, this matter would be forever sealed away and forgotten by the world, so I didn't tell you."

Kuchiki Byakuya frowned slightly, but did not say anything, just listened carefully.

Kuchiki Ginling then continued, "Hundreds of years ago, I had a son-in-law named Kuchiki Xianghe."

"Xianghe is extremely talented. In that era, he was a genius death god who surpassed all others."

"His brilliance was already demonstrated during the entrance exam to the Shinō Academy. No one could match his spiritual pressure, ghost arts, or swordsmanship at the time."

"Not only that, during his time as a student at the Shinō Spiritual Academy, he not only awakened his Zanpakutō, but he even completed his Zanpakutō's Shikai and Bankai."

"Later, his strength completely surpassed mine."

Hearing this, Kuchiki Byakuya's pupils suddenly shrank.

Even though he had always had a cold personality, after hearing the news, Kuchiki Byakuya's heart was stirred.

He had not expected that such a genius would appear in the former Xiumu family, whose talent was even better than his.

Gilgamesh's figure appeared in his mind again, and he murmured in his heart: "I wonder which of them has a better talent."

At the same time, Byakuya Kuchiki was puzzled. A genius like Hibiki Kuchiki should be valued by the family, so how could he become a stain and shame on the family?

Kuchiki Ginrei had completely forgotten the past. He ignored Byakuya Kuchiki's reaction and continued, "Hundreds of years ago, the Soul Society went through a period of rebellion."

"Because of factional disputes, many Shinigami were dissatisfied with the rule of the Gotei 13 and launched a rebellion."

"During that period of rebellion, Xianghe performed very well and was successfully promoted to the third position of the Sixth Division. Everything was originally going in a good direction."

Having said that, Xiumu Yinling couldn't help but sigh heavily.

Under the gaze of Byakuya Kuchiki, he continued: "In fact, with Hibiki's talent, he can directly become the third seat when he graduates from the Shinō Spiritual Arts Academy."

"Once you become proficient in the tasks at hand, you can be promoted to deputy captain."

"If nothing unexpected happens, he will succeed me as the captain of the Sixth Division."

"But talent can make you successful, and talent can also make you fail."

"When a person's power is too great, but he doesn't have the right state of mind to match it, do you know what will happen?"

As he spoke, Kuchiki Ginrei's eyes suddenly turned straight towards Kuchiki Byakuya.

Byakuya Kuchiki did not answer immediately, but suddenly recalled his grandfather's cultivation of him since he was a child, which seemed to have always been based on his state of mind.

It is also for this reason that an excellent successor like Kuchiki Byakuya was cultivated, who is cold, noble, and calm in the face of difficulties.

In the eyes of outsiders, Byakuya Kuchiki is simply a walking example of aristocracy.

After regaining his consciousness, Byakuya Kuchiki spoke under the gaze of Ginrei Kuchiki: "If one does not have a state of mind that matches one's own strength, one will gradually lose oneself and eventually become a slave to strength." Ginrei Kuchiki nodded slightly and replied: "That's right, Hibiki does not have a state of mind that matches his own strength."

"He is very confident in his own strength, and his strength is indeed terrifying."

"After that, amidst those overwhelming victories and the constant praise from others, he gradually lost himself, became more eager for success, and became more impatient."

"I reminded him more than once, but he never listened."

Kuchiki Ginrei paused, sighed again, and continued, "Captain Yamamoto also knew about Xianghe's situation, and specially arranged for him to join the special forces of the first team as a captain, hoping to hone his state of mind."

"It's just that time is running out. The forces of other factions are worried that as Xianghe's influence and reputation continue to rise, they will surpass their own forces, so they framed Xianghe as a traitor. Xianghe is young and hot-tempered and didn't think deeply, so he fell into the trap."

"Later, Hibiki escaped from prison with the help of his Zanpakutō and killed the three Shinigami who framed him. From then on, his guilt was established and there was no way to redeem himself."

Hearing this, Kuchiki Byakuya frowned slightly.

If Kuchiki Hibiki had only done these things, it wouldn't become a stain and shame for the Kuchiki family, right?
As if he could see through his grandson's confusion, Kuchiki Ginrei explained, "Since then, Hibiki has begun his revenge. He not only slaughters the Shinigami wantonly, but also slaughters innocent Rukongai civilians wantonly. He has completely fallen into evil."

"In the end, Captain Yamamoto and I sealed him with blood, which put an end to the disaster."

Kuchiki Byakuya already understood what happened.

Indeed, as the son-in-law of the Kuchiki family, he was easily framed and imprisoned. He neither reflected nor repented afterwards, and he wantonly slaughtered the Shinigami and civilians of Rukongai. This is indeed a stain and shame of the Kuchiki family.

However, Byakuya Kuchiki didn't understand what the relationship was between Hibiki Kuchiki and the king's destiny and power.

Why did grandpa tell me about these past events?

Wait, as if realizing something, Kuchiki Byakuya couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, what is the ability of Kuchiki Hibiki's Zanpakuto?"

Kuchiki Ginrei's expression became solemn upon hearing that. Even though so much time had passed, he still felt uneasy whenever he thought of that Zanpakutō.

Kuchiki Ginrei said, "Higashiga's Zanpakutō is called Muramasa, a demonic sword that brings disaster and misfortune."

Demonic sword?

Byakuya Kuchiki frowned, he was a little confused.

Kuchiki Ginrei explained, "Muramasa is a very special illusion-type Zanpakutō."

"Its ability is the same as the ability of the King's Mandate you mentioned. It can control the opponent's Zanpakutō and even make the opponent's Zanpakutō materialize and turn against its master."

When Kuchiki Byakuya heard this, his mind was shocked.

Indeed, just by listening to the description, Muramasa's ability is indeed the same as the ability of the King's Mandate and King's Power.

He couldn't help but start to wonder whether there was any connection between the king's mandate and power and Muramasa.

Otherwise, how could a newly enrolled student be able to manipulate his Shikai or even Bankai?
Kuchiki Byakuya and Kuchiki Ginrei did not notice that outside the door, a white figure slowly disappeared like a ghost, leaving only a murmur.

"The king's command and the king's power are interesting."

"If I can recruit you as a companion, then my plan will be much easier to implement."
