So when Yu Ze arrived at the scene, what caught his eye was a mutilated Epiphyllum, the petals of which had been roughly torn off by the emperor and the evil cultivator, who were greedily stuffing them into their mouths and chewing them.
Yu Ze suddenly felt dizzy, his ears buzzing. He stood frozen in place, watching the two people mechanically eat, his fingers trembling unconsciously.
The next second, before the other party could even detect his presence, Yu Ze had already struck and killed them both. He slowly landed on the ground, carefully holding up the broken Epiphyllum with both hands. The edges of the petals still showed signs of being torn.
