He gently woke the children, preparing to lead them away from this bloody and terrifying place.

However, to his utter surprise, the children cried incessantly as soon as they woke up, especially when they saw the terrible scene around them, they cried even more heartbreakingly.

Zhang Zhiwei immediately felt a headache coming on, and he secretly blamed himself for not thinking things through.

He thought that rescuing the child would be the end of the matter, but he didn't expect there to be so many follow-up issues to deal with.

He had a lot of trouble coaxing the children, and then asked them one by one for their home address and parents' names, preparing to send them back home.

After some twists and turns, most of the children were returned to their parents.

However, seven or eight children still cannot find their families for various reasons.

Looking at these homeless little rascals, Zhang Zhiwei couldn't help but smile wryly.

Only then did he realize that Xingliu had left in such a hurry because he had anticipated this situation.

Sending these children to the government would be tantamount to sending them into the jaws of a tiger.

After all, at this point, the court could only say that those who knew, knew.

However, it's too late to understand this now.

Left with no other option, Zhang Zhiwei took the children back to the inn and sought help from his master, Zhang Jingqing.

As soon as he opened the door, Zhang Zhiwei greeted him with a beaming smile, saying, "Master, I have something I'd like to ask for your help with."

Zhang Jingqing sat cross-legged on the bed without even opening his eyes. He snorted coldly and said:

"I'm not going to say anything nice the moment you ask me for money. Let me make it clear first, I don't have any money."

Hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei was not discouraged at all. Instead, he became even more attentive and went to Zhang Jingqing to massage his shoulders and back to please him.

"Master, you've misunderstood. This isn't about money."

Zhang Jingqing flung his hand away: "That's even more unacceptable! You either want money or you want me to clean up your mess! Tell me, what trouble have you gotten yourself into this time?"

Now it was Zhang Zhiwei's turn to be dumbfounded. He was caught in a dilemma and didn't know how to start the conversation.

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Zhang Jingqing sighed and said:

"Zhiwei, I'll take these children in for you this time. But remember, next time you must act within your capabilities, understand?"

In fact, Zhang Jingqing had known about the commotion her disciple had caused outside for a long time.

He was also a kind-hearted person, knowing that these children really had nowhere else to go besides taking them in.

But this can't always be the case. After all, Longhu Mountain isn't a charity, and no matter how powerful it is, it can't save everyone.

That's why he deliberately staged this whole thing to teach his disciple a lesson and make him remember it.

When Zhang Zhiwei heard that his master had agreed to take in the children, he was overjoyed and repeatedly thanked him, saying, "Thank you, Master! Thank you, Master!"

Zhang Jingqing waved her hand to indicate that he didn't need to be so polite, and then said earnestly:

“Zhiwei, you’re not young anymore, it’s time to learn to take on some responsibilities. I’ll leave these children in your care for a while, and in a while we’ll take them to Grandpa Lu’s place to find them a home.”

Zhang Zhiwei respectfully replied, "Yes! This disciple understands!"

Zhang Jingqing nodded in satisfaction, then instructed, "Alright, go and make arrangements for these children. Prepare some food and clothing for them, and also arrange accommodation."

Chapter 193 Destroying the Special Zone of the Cherry Blossom Country

Zhang Zhiwei respectfully responded and was about to turn and leave when he suddenly seemed to remember something important, so he turned back.

He stood before his master, his face filled with inquiry and anticipation, and asked:

"Master, I have a question I'd like to ask you. Does a technique truly exist that can bring someone back to life?"

Upon hearing this question, Zhang Jingqing frowned slightly and looked at her disciple with some surprise.

He pondered for a moment before slowly speaking: "Zhiwei, you've been cultivating for some time now, how could you still ask such a question? To be resurrected from the dead is defying the heavens, how could such a technique possibly exist?"

A hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Zhiwei's face after his master's remark.

But he still insisted, "Master, I did not make this up out of thin air. What I saw today is truly unbelievable."

So Zhang Zhiwei recounted all the strange encounters he had experienced that day to his master, Zhang Jingqing.

As she listened to her disciple's account, Zhang Jingqing's originally calm expression gradually became serious.

Especially when he heard about Xingliu's seemingly miraculous ability to reverse time and resurrect the dead, his brows furrowed and he fell into deep thought.

"Could it really be an immortal descended from the mortal realm?" he muttered to himself, but quickly dismissed the idea.

"No, since ancient times there have only been legends of immortals ascending to heaven after reaching the ultimate level of cultivation, but there has never been any story of immortals descending to earth."

Zhang Jingqing sensed that things were not so simple, and he decided to investigate himself.

So he said to Zhang Zhiwei:

"Zhiwei, if you encounter that senior again, please invite him to attend Old Master Lu's birthday banquet. I would like to take this opportunity to meet him and see who he really is."

Although Xingliu and his group were doing a good deed, their formidable strength made Zhang Jingqing wary.

He knew all too well that this land had already endured too much suffering and turmoil, and could no longer withstand any further disturbances.

Therefore, he must act cautiously to ensure that everything is under his control.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhiwei nodded solemnly and agreed.

Meanwhile, Xingliu and his companions had already quietly entered the special zone of the Sakura Country.

Their arrival immediately caused quite a stir in this bustling area.

Xingliu and his group were dressed in luxurious Japanese-style clothing, clearly indicating that they were no ordinary people.

So despite the unfamiliar faces, the gatekeeper from the land of cherry blossoms remained polite and courteous, stepping forward to inquire, "Gentlemen, what brings you here?"

Xingliu didn't say much. His purpose for this trip was clear and firm: to send these people from the Sakura Kingdom to see their Emperor.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, a mysterious power was quietly released.

In that instant, a terrifying scene unfolded like a nightmare.

The people of the Cherry Blossom Country seemed to be engulfed by invisible flames; their bodies spontaneously combusted in an instant, and the raging flames completely consumed them.

This sudden disaster left them no time to feel the pain before they quickly fell into an abyss of unconsciousness.

For Xingliu, this ending was the last bit of mercy he could show.

However, his move undoubtedly caused a huge uproar in the Sakura Country Special Zone.

People witnessed all of this in horror, their hearts filled with indescribable shock and confusion.

When they realized that Xingliu's gaze was gradually turning towards them, their panic reached its peak.

"Run! Do you want to wait here to die?" someone shouted in despair.

"Get out of the way, let me go first!" Another person roughly pushed aside the person next to them, trying to escape this terrifying place.

A cacophony of sounds rose and fell as people scattered and fled in panic.

However, they soon discovered that no matter how fast they fled, death seemed to be chasing them relentlessly.

Those who stayed behind actually lived a few more minutes.

Before long, the once bustling streets were deserted.

Xingliu's actions also attracted the attention of the strange people from the Sakura Kingdom stationed there.

They rushed to the scene, and seeing the empty streets and ashes everywhere, they roared angrily, "Baka! You will pay for what you have done!"

However, no sooner had they finished speaking than a terrifying figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

That was Princess Kaguya. She glanced at them coldly, then casually waved her hand, and a bone transformed into a sharp arrow that shot out and accurately pierced the body of one of the supernatural beings.

With a scream, the strange man's body instantly disintegrated, turning into ashes.

This terrifying scene caused the other supernatural beings to stop in their tracks in fear.

But while they stopped, Kaguya would not give up.

No matter how they try to dodge, that deadly bone will hit them.

Then, amidst their furious stares, they took their lives.

However, even such a speed of killing was still insufficient to meet the requirements of the Starflow.

How long would it take to kill them one by one?

With a simple wave of his hand, a powerful barrier instantly enveloped the entire Sakura Kingdom Special Zone.

This barrier not only sealed off the special zone from the outside world, but also protected Princess Kaguya and the others within it.

Immediately afterwards, Xingliu's figure slowly rose into the air.

He stood suspended in mid-air, like a god above all living beings, holding the power of life and death over this area.

A chilling aura emanated from him, sending shivers down one's spine.

"Shinra Tenzheng!"

As he finished speaking, an invisible force surged out of his body like a raging flood.

This force instantly swept across the entire special zone, and the earth trembled violently under its impact, as if it were about to crack open.

Everything appears so fragile and vulnerable in the face of this force; they are completely destroyed under the influence of this repulsive force.

When everything settled down, people were horrified to discover that the entire Cherry Blossom Kingdom Special Zone had been razed to the ground.

The once bustling and prosperous scene of towering buildings is gone, replaced by a mess and ruin.

This place has become a huge depression, and everything was instantly wiped out by the power of the starburst.

After doing all this, Xingliu calmly and slowly descended.

Orochimaru witnessed the entire process. He stepped forward and addressed Xingliu:

“Seiryu-kun, since you don’t have much affection for this country, why don’t you let me and Tobirama-sama go and ‘take care’ of it?”

From Xingliu's actions that day, they all sensed his deep dislike for the Sakura Kingdom.

At the same time, the strange person he had just encountered also aroused Orochimaru's great interest, so he made this suggestion.

Xingliu nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Orochimaru's suggestion.
