"Master!" Yi Qing was shocked. Just when he was about to go and save her, that light wall actually flickered with white light and disappeared right where it was instantly, reappearing behind Fang Fang instead.
"Hmph, this is a restriction I made with the power of original source, nobody can escape."
"Your target has been Shen Ying from the start?" Lonemoon's face darkened. He suddenly remembered that mermaid. Apparently it was a sea creature, yet it appeared beside a river. And not only that mermaid. That City Lord, and even that inn, were all used by her to test them.
"Indeed, since she happens to be your Manager. At first I meant to deal with her directly..." Fang Fang said, uncaring, "A pity that I under-estimated her power. Even if I confined the immortal and spirit qi of this plane, she still has such a terrible strength. Therefore, I could only draw all of you here and use the power of the original source to suppress your abilities."
Lonemoon was stunned, and subconsciously he sensed for his own plane. Indeed, he could no longer sense it. Moreover, the plane door had been locked. No wonder she brought them here. It was to block their way of retreat.
"Done with talking nonsense?" Yi Qing's face darkened. He directly stepped forward and drew out his sword. "Come and fight!"
Fang Fang actually sneered, not in the least bit intimidated by them. She turned and gave a look at Shen Ying trapped inside the white light. "With the Manager in my hands, this is the place of original source, with your strength you can never..."
Before she finished her words, a terrible wave of sword qi swept right towards her suddenly, bringing forth an immense momentum and thick killing aura. She subconsciously turned back and managed to escape that wave of sword qi. The bottom of her heart grew cold immediately: had she not have dodged fast, that sword qi would have hit on her body.
How was this possible? She turned towards Yi Qing, her face full of disbelief, only to see an expression of anger like he was almost bursting out. He spoke word by word, "Don't give your dirty things to my Master anyhow!"
Lonemoon: "..."

So the point of your anger was just because she gave Shen Ying a pear? Should he feel fortunate that he restrained himself for so long and cooperated with him to finish the acting before bursting out?
But Chef had already rushed out, holding his sword. For a time, the sword qi thickened even more around them with a dangerous aura emanating.
Fang Fang was forced to retreat rapidly all the way towards places closer to the original source where it was thicker, yet she realized that it was of no use. Yi Qing's movement not only didn't slow down, but actually became even more rapid.
"This... this, how can this be!" Her face was full of disbelief. Obviously, she was already inside the original source, and controlled the Manager, why would they still have such abilities? Unless...
"You are Managers too!" Her eyes widened abruptly.
"What? You only just realized?" replied Lonemoon, smiling.
"How can there be three at once..." She gritted her teeth, and the hatred in her eyes deepened even more. Among the three of them, apparently that one called Shen Ying was the more powerful one, even somewhat unfathomable, so she instinctively concluded that she was the Manager, and these two were only her assistants.
And she did indeed see that there was the power of contract among the three, but didn't imagine that all three were Managers! As the Manager of a plane, they were actually willing to become another person's assistant, was there something wrong with these two people's brains?
But she didn't have time to think carefully. Yi Qing's sword attack had already forced her into a corner. She gritted her teeth and her face sank. They didn't know what she did, but the plane's original source under their feet which was at first calm as spring water suddenly started boiling. One giant beast followed by another emerged from the water and attacked towards Yi Qing.
"Holy shit!" This Manager actually raised demon beasts in the original source. Lonemoon was shocked, cursed to himself and then pulled out his sword and rushed over. The demon beasts raised in the original source were, of course, strong. They were no mere demon beasts but divine beasts, in fact. Yet they couldn't use any spell here, and could only forcefully fight them with the sword, making it even harder, not to mention it was a whole group set on them at once.
Lonemoon rushed inside, and he and Chef each took one side and started fighting. For a time, there were Sword Qi everywhere inside the white light. Fortunately, though the divine beasts were strong, they didn't seem to have consciousness. Even though spells couldn't be used, and their Manager abilities were also suppressed in many ways, it was still just a matter of time before they defeated those gigantic beasts. Only that they would be trapped inside for a while.
And Fang Fang who had been chased and beaten by Chef also got a chance to breathe. She retreated directly. Her injuries were rather severe, with wounds cut by Sword Qi all over her, deep to the bones. Yet somehow, the wounds weren't healing. She wasn't suppressed, and obviously these were just small wounds not worth mentioning to a Manager.
"You raised them with your own power?" Suddenly, a familiar voice rang in her ears.
Fang Fang was stunned. She looked back and realized that Shen Ying who was trapped inside the white light was the one speaking. She was still holding a fruit in her hands and nibbling at it, without the tiniest bit of panic for being trapped. Instead, she tilted her head and looked at her curiously.
"No!" She suddenly corrected herself. "More like, you are feeding back on this broken plane with your own power?" That's why she couldn't even heal herself.
Her eyes widened abruptly, with the look of being exposed all over her face and vigilance filling her eyes.
"Why?" continued Shen Ying. She couldn't last too long like this.
"Why?" She stood up like with anger and irritation. The hatred in her eyes looked like it was going to overflow. She gritted her teeth and roared out, "I want my plane to not collapse. I want the living beings of my world alive. I don't want them devoured by chaos! What right do you murderers of Big Dao Organization have, to ask me why?"
"Big Dao Organization?" Shen Ying frowned. "We're not!"
"Ho, is there a difference?" She sneered. "Soon you will be, or why would you appear here? You only need to kill me, and destroy this plane already riddled, barely surviving plane, and you will be eligible for membership to the Organization."
"Eligible?" Shen Ying's eyes narrowed. "You mean we are actually sent here, as a test for membership."
"What? Are you not even clear with this?" The coldness in her eyes deepened and she said full of ridicule, "Then Big Dao Organization is quite blind this time, to actually invite these people who can't even figure out their situation."
Shen Ying's eyes darkened, and she finally put down the fruit in her hand. She reached out and made a forceful breaking movement with her hands. With a tearing sound, that layer of trapping white light cracked open at once like a piece of white paper being torn.
Fang Fang's eyes protruded instantly.

Yet Shen Ying walked directly towards her and stopped one step away from her. She spoke with a deep voice, "Come, let's have a chat!"
