In the vast white desert of Hueco Mundo, three figures wearing black cloaks were moving slowly forward.

These three were Ichigo Kurosaki, Orihime Inoue, and Yasutora Sado, who had arrived in Hueco Mundo not long ago.

As they moved forward, some Hollows occasionally passed by them not far away, but they seemed unable to see them, and just passed by them.

The reason for this was the black cloaks they were wearing. This black cloak was an advanced product that Kisuke Urahara had upgraded from the cloak that hid spiritual pressure, called the "Shadow Cloak."

As long as they wore the Shadow Cloak, in addition to perfectly hiding their own spiritual pressure, it could also have the effect of deceiving vision and hearing, making it impossible for others to detect their existence.

However, the effect of deceiving vision also had distance limitations due to technical reasons. If someone was within ten meters of them, they could gradually see their outlines, and the closer they got, the clearer the outlines would become.

If someone was standing right next to them, then the ability to deceive vision would completely fail.

"As expected of the shopkeeper, the inventions he makes are really amazing. If it weren't for such an invention, we would probably have been discovered as soon as we entered Hueco Mundo," Ichigo said, looking at the eerie moon with the Rinnegan pattern in the sky.

At this time, everyone still thought that Yusuke's eyes could monitor the entire Hueco Mundo, and didn't know that Yusuke actually didn't have the energy and ability to notice every corner of Hueco Mundo at all.

Even if Ichigo and the others weren't wearing Shadow Cloaks, Yusuke wouldn't have noticed three more people in the vast Hueco Mundo, unless they themselves erupted their spiritual pressure and attracted Yusuke's attention.

Hearing Ichigo's words, Orihime and Sado both nodded.

The completely different environment between Hueco Mundo and the real world made them still very unaccustomed to it. The endless white sand sea and the eternal night sky gave them an unspeakable feeling of depression.

But fortunately, the desert in Hueco Mundo wasn't like the extremely hot deserts in the real world, but was just purely barren, otherwise it would have been even more unbearable for them.

"Ichigo-kun, is that Las Noches over there!"

After the group had been walking for a while, Orihime suddenly saw a tall white building in the distance, and immediately said happily to Ichigo, who was walking in the front.

They had been walking for several days after coming to Hueco Mundo, and had never seen the tallest building in Hueco Mundo that Kisuke Urahara had mentioned, Las Noches, leading them to believe that they had completely lost their way in the white sand sea.

In fact, it was because their luck was very bad. The location they were in after coming to Hueco Mundo was at the low point of the desert hills, greatly hindering their vision. Otherwise, they would have been able to discover Las Noches standing in Hueco Mundo long ago.

After confirming the location of Las Noches, they immediately sped up their pace and headed towards their destination without stopping.

As Ichigo and the others got closer and closer to Las Noches, they found that the frequency of Hollows appearing was getting higher and higher, and even the figures of Arrancar began to gradually appear.

At this time, many new palaces had been built outside Las Noches. Most of these palaces belonged to the higher-ups of Las Noches, or some of Las Noches' peripheral organizations.

Around these palaces, there were also many building complexes, which were also newly built after Yusuke took control of Hueco Mundo, for the Hollows that were attached to Las Noches to live in.

Because of this, the habits of many Hollows in Hueco Mundo who used to live in the wild changed, and having their own homes around Las Noches was an extremely glorious thing in Hueco Mundo.

If Yusuke were to start a real estate business in Hueco Mundo now, he would surely make a fortune!

"I didn't expect that creatures like Hollows could actually live like humans or Shinigami."

Hiding on a small hillside outside Las Noches, Ichigo said to Orihime and Sado, looking at the incredible scene in front of him.

At this moment, Ichigo showed an incredulous expression: "Look over there, those people seem to be Shinigami."

At this time, he was pointing at several Shinigami wearing Las Noches uniforms and carrying Zanpakutō at their waists. Then, he rubbed his eyes hard, and then confirmed that he wasn't seeing things.

These Shinigami were the souls with good aptitudes that Yusuke had selected from the Rukongai. After years of training, they had all grown into Shinigami whose strength was comparable to that of seated officers.

Most of them served as executives in the periphery of Las Noches, managing the settlements of Hollows around Las Noches.

Orihime nodded and said, "Since there are Shinigami living here, then Rukia-san should be fine. I just don't know where she is now, and how we can find her?"

"The three of us together are too conspicuous, and in addition to Uryū, we also need to find Rukia and confirm that she is safe. Why don't you two wait for me outside, and I'll sneak into Las Noches alone to see what's going on," Ichigo said.

Hearing Ichigo's words, both Orihime and Sado showed worried expressions on their faces.

"Ichigo-kun, it's so dangerous here. It's better for us to act together, right? Or are you saying that you want to fight alone and rescue Ishida-kun by yourself?" Orihime asked.

Ichigo shook his head and smiled: "You don't need to think too much. It's just that it's indeed more convenient to look for their whereabouts alone. Besides, I have the Shadow Cloak, so if I'm careful, nothing will happen."

After some discussion, Orihime and Sado finally agreed to Ichigo's suggestion.

The two of them would first look for traces of Rukia or Uryū Ishida on the outside, while Ichigo would sneak into Las Noches alone.

After the plan was decided, Ichigo immediately sneaked towards Las Noches.

Relying on the convenience of the Shadow Cloak, his infiltration wasn't discovered by anyone, and he successfully passed through the outer building complexes and came to Las Noches, which was in the center.

As he went deeper and deeper, Ichigo became more and more careful.

He could feel that the defenses were becoming more and more strict, and the spiritual pressure of the guards was also becoming stronger and stronger.

Soon, he saw the first Arrancar who gave him an extremely dangerous feeling outside the palace gate of Las Noches.

This Arrancar had a delicate face, dressed enchantingly, and stood in a charming posture. It was the cross-dressing master Rubia, the tenth Espada. He had taken over Yammy's position of guarding the palace gate of Las Noches after defeating Yammy.

"I didn't expect that such a seemingly weak girl would actually be one of the Espada!"

Hiding in the corner of the palace wall, Ichigo muttered to himself, looking at Luppi Antenor not far away.

All the members of Las Noches wore almost the same uniform, but as the higher-ups of Las Noches, there would be a special crow mark on their uniforms, which also represented their status as higher-ups.

Among the Arrancar, only the members of the Espada had crow marks on their uniforms!
