A Great Elder of the Zhai Family spoke as he eagerly stepped onto the lotus closest to the shore.
But as soon as his foot touched the lotus, there was a loud bang, and a flame shot into the sky, enveloping him completely.
"Ahhh!" The elder let out a piercing scream and began to struggle desperately.
"Great Elder!" Zhai Dewen exclaimed in shock, rushing forward to save him.
But at that moment, he was firmly held back by his daughter, Zhai Zhuqing.
"It's useless. You can't save him; he's doomed!" Zhai Zhuqing said, trembling.
Indeed.
The Great Elder only struggled for a few moments before falling backward and was incinerated into ashes by the flames before even touching the lake.
Gasp!
Everyone present couldn't help but inhale sharply.
Everyone who reached this place was formidable, and this Great Elder was a prominent figure in the Zhai Family. Yet, he was turned to ash just by stepping on a lotus.
Just how terrifying was this lotus?
