He secretly plotted that if he didn't teach those arrogant and domineering people a lesson in this era, he would be doing a disservice to his identity as a transmigrator.

Just then, Tobirama had completed his initial observation of the surrounding environment, and he said with a frown:

"Starflow, this place looks a lot like the Land of Fire during the Warring States period."

Xingliu sighed softly. This period of the world was indeed full of challenges and difficulties.

He calmly replied, "That can't be helped. Every other world has its unique historical background and development trajectory. This world's point in time may indeed be relatively backward."

As they talked, they gradually noticed that they were being watched more and more closely.

Clearly, their distinctive clothing and appearance have attracted the attention of the locals.

Therefore, Xingliu decisively suggested, "We need to find a place to gather information about this place first."

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

So, guided by Xingliu, they quickly left the narrow alley.

The scenery along the way gradually changed their initial impression of the town.

Although there are dilapidated areas here, it is not all desolate and ruined.

Especially when they arrived at a bustling market, they were greeted by a scene of great prosperity.

Various small vendors were hawking their dazzling array of goods, their shouts and bargaining creating a unique symphony of everyday life.

Xingliu skillfully led everyone around the crowded area and arrived at a rather grand-looking restaurant.

Although this restaurant wasn't exactly luxurious, it was vastly different from what they had initially seen.

As soon as Xingliu and his group sat down, a quick-witted waiter immediately came forward, asking with a beaming smile, "Gentlemen, what would you like to order?"

Upon hearing this, Tobirama, Orochimaru, and the others all turned their gazes toward Seiryu.

Having just arrived and knowing nothing about this unfamiliar world, they naturally had to rely on Xingliu's judgment and decisions.

After a moment's thought, Xingliu said, "Bring us some of your local specialties. Money is no object."

Although he didn't have the world's currency, he carried a lot of gold with him.

This gold is also extremely valuable in this world, enough to allow them to live a comfortable life here.

Upon hearing Xingliu's words, the waiter immediately beamed with joy and replied, "Alright! Please wait a moment, sirs, I'll go prepare it for you right away!"

After saying that, he turned and ran towards the kitchen, leaving Xingliu and the others to wait in place.

A moment later, the waiter came over with several steaming plates of local specialties and carefully placed them on the table in front of them.

The aroma of the dishes filled the air, instantly whetting everyone's appetite.

Xingliu glanced at the dishes on the table and nodded in satisfaction.

Although these dishes look simple, they have an authentic flavor and are clearly the local specialty of this town.

He invited everyone to enjoy the meal, and he also picked up his chopsticks and took a few bites. He immediately found the taste delicious and the aftertaste unforgettable.

While enjoying the delicious food, Xingliu did not forget the purpose of their trip.

He looked around and found that there were many other customers in the restaurant besides their table.

The guests sat in twos and threes, chatting quietly, with bursts of laughter occasionally breaking the silence.

Xingliu's heart skipped a beat; he felt this was a good opportunity to gather information.

He put down his chopsticks, wiped his mouth, and then looked at Tobirama, Orochimaru, and the others, saying, "You guys take your time eating. I'm going out for a bit."

After saying that, he got up from his seat and walked over to the other guests.

He found a middle-aged man who looked friendly, sat down, and greeted him with a smile:

"Brother, judging from your rosy complexion, you must be a regular here, right?"

The middle-aged man was drinking alone when he heard Xingliu's words. He was taken aback at first, then laughed heartily:

"Young man, you have a good eye! That's right, I'm a regular here. What's up? Is there something you need?"

Xingliu said calmly:

"To be honest, we're new here and don't know much about the area. If it's convenient for you, could you tell us about this town? Of course, we won't let you talk for nothing."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of gold from his pocket and handed it over.

The middle-aged man's eyes lit up when he saw the gold, but he immediately waved his hand and said:

"Oh, young man, you're too kind! This is nothing, there's no need for that! Come, come, sit down and let's talk."

Xingliu didn't stand on ceremony and sat down.

The middle-aged man then began to talk at length about the town.

From him, Xingliu learned that the town was called "Luoxia Town," located in a remote area but with convenient transportation, serving as a necessary route to other major cities.

Therefore, although the place is not large, it is very prosperous and attracts all kinds of merchants.

This gave Xingliu a deeper understanding of this era.

This place is in a crucial location, and some parts are still so dilapidated. Sometimes, you can only understand the hardships of this era by experiencing it firsthand.

He then learned some information about this world, such as its current time and whether any major events had recently occurred.

This information was undoubtedly very important to Xingliu and the others.

After learning about the situation, Xingliu chatted for a few more minutes before getting up to take his leave.

The middle-aged man, holding the gold, grinned from ear to ear and repeatedly said, "Welcome to come again next time!"

Xingliu returned to his seat and told everyone the information he had gathered.

After listening to Xingliu's account, Tobirama pondered for a moment before saying in a deep voice, "So, this place is also in the midst of war?"

There was a hint of barely perceptible sigh in his tone.

Seiryu nodded slightly, confirming Tobirama's guess.

Orochimaru, however, was different. He was not particularly interested in the wars in this world, but rather in its power system.

He went straight to the point and asked, "Are there any beings in this world similar to ninjas?"

As soon as they finished speaking, they all suddenly looked in one direction.

In that direction, they keenly sensed an energy fluctuation different from chakra.

"Let's go and take a look?"

Chapter 189 Anger

Everyone naturally had no objection to Xingliu's suggestion.

So they stood up, left some money on the table as food, and headed toward the direction where they had sensed the energy fluctuations.

They hadn't gone far when they discovered a large crowd gathered ahead, seemingly watching some kind of performance.

The group of people curiously went over and saw a group of street performers enthusiastically demonstrating their unique skills.

These street performers were agile and highly skilled. Some did somersaults in the air, some performed acrobatics on the ground, and some even brandished weapons. Every move they made drew cheers from the audience.

One of the burly men performing the act of breaking a large stone on his chest was particularly eye-catching. He clearly emanated energy fluctuations, indicating that he was a cultivator in this world.

However, despite the burly man's impressive performance, people's attention was drawn to another place more.

Xingliu and the others looked in the direction of the crowd and saw two burly men banging drums and shouting loudly.

They were accompanied by a strangely shaped "dog" with long limbs and a thick coat of fur, but its face was no different from a human's.

This peculiar sight drew stares and sparked much discussion.

The two men lashed out with their whips, and the "dog" barked. Upon receiving a command, it would even perform acrobatics like a human.

Its movements are agile, varied, and lifelike, drawing gasps of amazement from onlookers.

In order to continue listening to music and watching the performance, the audience threw money in front of the "dog".

The "dog" deftly picked up the coins and put them into the man's pocket, drawing cheers and laughter.

However, Xingliu and the others who witnessed this scene looked grim.

With their sharp eyesight, how could they not see that this so-called dog was actually a person?

Although they weren't exactly saints, they wouldn't have gone to such lengths.

Chika, being the least experienced and kindest among them, couldn't bear the sight of such a tragic situation and couldn't help but step in to help.

However, Xingliu pulled her back in time, preventing her from acting impulsively.

This puzzled Qianxia, ​​who looked at Xingliu with confusion.

In her memory, if it were Xingliu's usual temper, these people would probably be reduced to ashes.

But now, not only did he not make a move, he also stopped her, which puzzled Qianxia greatly.

Xingliu noticed her confusion. He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and whispered to the others:

“They probably have accomplices. Rushing in now would only alert them. We should follow them after the performance. They probably have many more children like this in their hands.”

Upon hearing this, Qianxia suddenly realized that Xingliu had intended something.

It turns out that he not only planned to capture all these people, but also to rescue the children.

So she nodded, indicating her agreement with Xingliu's plan.

At this moment, everyone also discovered more clues.

They noticed that many of the audience members were parents who brought their children to watch the performance.

This should have been a joyful and harmonious scene, but it concealed an unknown danger.

Among those innocent children, some are being stolen one by one.

Those who steal children are short and agile. They take advantage of the crowded and chaotic moments to quietly snatch children from their parents' arms.

These parents seemed to be controlled by some mysterious force; they watched the performance with complete focus, their faces showing fascination, completely unaware that their children had disappeared.

Xingliu and the others realized that these child thieves had likely used some kind of illusion magic to affect the parents' consciousness, causing them to fall into a hallucination and become unaware of the abnormal situation around them.

After a while, the men seemed to think they had stolen enough children, so some of them exchanged a secret code with the performers.

Then, the performers began to finish their performances one by one, and the audience gradually dispersed amidst laughter and cheers.
