“Sirs... Are you alright?” After subduing the waves, Chao Kun turned to the three of them anxiously.

Lonemoon frowned. He glanced at the worried Chao Kun and nodded curtly. “Fine.”

“That’s good!” He heaved a sigh of relief. He looked like he was going to say something else, but the streams of source below sprang up once again.

“Chao Kun!” The eyes of the woman in black turned red immediately. She shot a death glare at Chao Kun. The hate she felt for him seemed to seep into the black Qi around her as it became thicker and richer. Suddenly, the black Qi flew toward Chao Kun. “You deserve to die!”

Chao Kun jumped in shock. He instinctively summoned a shield to block the attack, sending green beams of light back toward the woman. The blackness around the woman dissipated slightly. Chao Kun’s expression darkened as he waved his sword at her. Then, he turned around to the three people behind him and said, “Thank you for all your help. That was the only reason I could find this invader. It is way too dangerous over here. Please go back quickly so that you won’t be affected by the contaminated source.” He looked to the woman nervously and added, “Only I can cleanse the core powers in this plane’s source. Hand it to me from now!”

The three of them exchanged looks, but said nothing.

“Please leave at once – don’t worry about me!” Chao Kun urged them. “No matter what, I will protect my own plane.”

Once he finished speaking, and before they could respond, he held up his sword and charged toward the woman. The both of them engaged in a battle.

They were moving extremely quickly. All Lonemoon and the others could see were black and green streaks flying around the sky.

Chao Kun was right. If they wanted this plane to be restored, they had to first fix the source. But the source was the basis of this entire plane – nobody could interfere with it unless they were the spirit seed or the manager of the plane.

Since Lonemoon and Yi Qing were both managers of other planes, they naturally had no right to interfere with the source of this one. What’s more, their manager powers were already being suppressed while they were here. Apart from Chao Kun, nobody could help. Of course, that was apart from Shen Ying the cheat!

The battle between Chao Kun and the woman was becoming more and more intense. Chao Kun had already been injured. Now that he had lost control of his own plane’s source, he was much weaker. Granted, he was not close to being defeated. In fact, he seemed to be making some progress with this battle. A green aura from the original source of this plane seemed to surround his body.

He tried to restore the plane step by step, but those efforts were worthless given that the plane’s source had already been completely contaminated. After awhile, Chao Kun looked like he could hang on no longer.

“Master, we...” Yi Qing turned to look at Shen Ying, hesitating to speak.

Should we go or should we stay?

Lonemoon nudged Shen Ying and asked, “Aren’t we going to help?”

“Er...” Shen Ying gnawed on her fruit and said lazily, “No hurry.”

Lonemoon and Chef exchanged a meaningful look, both at a loss for words. They narrowed their eyes, but no one made any moves.

Chao Kun looked like he was getting weaker and weaker. His body began to sway. Chao Kun gritted his teeth and adjusted the source’s aura that he painstakingly obtained around his body, fending off the attacks from the woman that covered the entire sky. With a pained expression, he asked, “Who exactly are you? Why are you doing this? Do you know that if you change this source, many living creatures are going to die?”

“Hahaha...” The woman laughed maniacally. She looked delirious. “Chao Kun, these words coming from you sound hypocritical indeed! You, of all people, should know why I am doing this!”

Chao Kun paused. A moment later, he seemed to recall something. His eyes widened. “You’re... Mu Xiang!”

“Why? Were you pretending not to recognize me?” The woman laughed mirthlessly.

“You...” Chao Kun stared blankly at her. Then, he shook his head. “That’s impossible! How did you open the gate to this plane?”

“Hmph! Did you think that locking this plane away would keep all invaders out?”

“So someone did help you to invade my plane earlier!” Chao Kun’s features became even more twisted. “I never thought that you would change the source. Why? You were once a part of this plane yourself. Now, you’re joining forces with outsiders to invade this plane and destroy it?”

“Why? Of course it’s to kill you” The black Qi around the woman thickened. The blackness below seemed to deepen as well. “In order to kill a bastard like you, I’m willing to pay any cost.”

Chao Kun’s expression darkened. It was obvious he was hurt.”I did everything to protect this plane. I did it for the 3000 realms and for all the living creatures here. Since you’ve been kicked out of the plane, you should not have invaded it. This plane has nothing more to do with you.”

“Who says it has nothing to do with me!” The woman named Mu Xiang screamed in a rage. “I’m already back, so don’t think about getting away easy! Who was the one who should be kicked out of this plane? Chao Kun, do you really need me to remind you? Who is the real-”

“Mu Xiang!” Chao Kun frowned, cutting her off. “It’s been such a long time, and you’re still so stubborn. You’re willing to sacrifice an entire plane of living creatures just for your own selfish desires.”

“Shut up!” Mu Xiang’s face became twisted, as if she had just recalled her painful past. She was filled with so much anger and hatred that she began to tremble. Her eyes seemed to turn into flames as she said, “This all happened because of you! It’s you! Chao Kun, you deserve to die!” She could hold her anger back o longer. Immediately, she charged toward Chao Kun.

Chao Kun closed his eyes, sucked in a deep breath and said, “No matter who helped you to get in, I will make sure that we fight to the death today. I will not let you harm this plane.” The green light around his body flashed.

The two of them engaged in battle once again. However, Mu Xiang was attacking more viciously now than she did before. It was obvious that she was putting her life on the line. Clearly triggered by something Chao Kun said, she dealt with each blow like it was her last. She no longer cared whether she got injured or not – all she wanted was to deal as much damage to Chao Kun as possible.

Yi Qing frowned. This way of fighting was way too anxious – it would only give the other party a chance to rest up before dealing his attack. Chao Kun remained calm throughout the battle. The green aura around his body became stronger and stronger. Even the center of the source below them seemed to turn slightly green.

But this pace was too slow. Chao Kun was bound to wear out sooner or later. After all, Mu Xiang was in control of the entire source. Unless someone stepped in to help and control Mu Xiang, he would not be able to focus on repairing the source. Of course, it would be best if this someone was a manager as well.

Lonemoon raised his eyebrows, turning to Shen Ying purposefully. “Are we still going to stand by and watch?”

Shen Ying turned to face him, finishing up the last of her fruit. Then, she retrieved a plate of pastries from her storage bag and said, “Mm, it’s not time yet.”

A confused look flashed across Lonemoon’s face. He kept his sword and said, “Alright! It’s your decision to make!” He snatched the plate from Shen Ying’s hands and sat down to watch the show.

Shen Ying: “...”

“Master, I have more here!” Chef quickly handed her another plate.

Chao Kun and Mu Xiang seemed to be fighting more intensely now. There were loud crashes and explosions sounding in all directions. Chao Kun was now covered in blood, and he looked like he was about to collapse at any moment. Thus, he looked over at the three of them expectantly. Lonemoon, Yi Qing and Shen Ying, however, looked like they had no intention to step up and offer any help.

Instead, Mu Xiang’s hatred and anger grew. Although Chao Kun had also injured her, he did not manage to slow her down. Chao Kun knew that he could not hang on much longer. Turning back to take one last look at the group who still seemed unwilling to offer help, he turned around and flew straight toward the green center of the otherwise black source.

The moment he touched the source, he summoned a dharmic weapon and began to conjure a spell. The pitch-black underworld seemed to be divided into two by a beam of blinding green light.

“Chao Kun, do you have the guts!” Mu Xiang rushed over, looking like she had finally snapped and gone crazy. Yet, she got rebounded by the green light. She climbed to her feet once again and rushed over maniacally, shouting, “Chao Kun! Chao Kun...” Each time she screamed his name was more piercing than the time before.

“We can go now.” Shen Ying stood up after finished a total of three plates of pastries.

Lonemoon: “...”

Why didn’t you wait till we had dinner first?
