(Lian Li POV)

With Brendan locating Master's Quark signature and Cai Hong locating Master's smell, we managed to pick up the trail on where Master had gone.

Judging by the road the trail was following, it was headed to the capital city that I didn't bother learning the name of.

For reuniting with Master again, we spared no manpower in the search.

Every single person, group and Sect we had converted was mobilised towards the capital city, should anything or anyone be there to hinder our search for Master, we would crush them without mercy.

A few tried to reason that we would look like we were planning an invasion of the capital.

They don't get it at all.

If the capital city was indeed holding Master or even mistreating Him, it won't just be an invasion.

With everyone gathered and ready, Manami teleported all of us to the outskirts of the city.

What surprised me a little was that the city seemed to be prepared for a siege, as though someone had informed them of our arrival ahead of time.

It looks like we will have to fight our way in, not that this would be a problem with all of us here.

I was prepared to give the order to form up ranks when a girl wearing a maid outfit appeared in front of me without warning.

"Divine Path Sect… Tenebris Sect… The rebels of Lawless Forrest… And quite a number of Grand Sects too… We didn't have the chance to issue a call for reinforcements, how were you all able to mobilise and come here?"

I frowned at her, "What are you talking about? We are here to find our Master. Where are you keeping him?!"

"Master? What are you talking about? I do not believe we have such a person… No… I see… Please wait here."

The maid girl disappeared before reappearing a minute later with a woman who was even taller than Manami and Diao Chan.

"You… Your Master... Is he around this tall?" The tall woman asked, indicating with her hand to around her neck level."

I nodded slowly, a little wary of this woman.

"Long black hair tied in a bun?"

I nodded again, by now my sisters and Brendan had joined up with me, all of us watching this woman with keen interest.

"A really handsome face, toned and firm body, angelic voice, perfect presence and all around just divine?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" I agreed, this woman must definitely have met Master! "Where is He?"

She frowned at me, looking between us and the people gathered behind us, "You are all husband's disciples?"

"HUSBAND?!" We shrieked collectively.

HOW DARE SHE?!

We had obtained Mother-in-law's approval! Who does this hussy think she is forcing Master into such a relationship with her?!

There is absolutely no way that Master would willingly marry her before us, so there's was no possibility this woman is actually Master's wife.

She must have forced herself on Master!

For someone to dare to force themselves on Master, there can only be death!!

Most likely sensing our killing intent, the maid girl moved in front of her mistress, pulling out two knives from under her dress.

This little bitch thinks she can stop all of us?!

This city too! No doubt it served as Master's prison! We'll erase this entire place from existence!

Seemingly unconcerned by our obvious hostility, the woman waved her hand at us, "Oh calm yourselves. Husband has not yet accepted my proposal, but I worry for his health if his disciples are such hot headed little girls and boys."

I managed to stop myself from lunging at her, "What do you mean?"

"I proposed to husband but he rejected me to say he has to return to his disciples. Really, whatever he does just makes me fall in love with him even more. But now that I see you all in person… I'm not sure if you're worthy of his love."

Eris growled at her, "Ya know nuthin' about us nor Master. Now do we 'ave to beat your sorry ass to get Master back to us?!"

That woman stared at Eris with dispassionate eyes, "Husband is currently holding back monsters from another dimension. He will be sending them here for us to take care of them in about another minute or so. You are free to stay and help or just get out of the way."

I looked at my sisters, all of them nodding at me.

"We will help, but we wish to see Master first. We want to know if you are using Him or keeping Him against His will."

"You are mistaking your own position, girl. I don't know whether you are actually husband's disciples or just some assassin aiming for my beloved's life. Unless husband acknowledges you, I have no reason to believe anything you say."

She shifted her gaze to the crowd behind us, "What's more, appearing here with this large of an army, you might be rebels for all I know."

I activated my storage ring and pulled out a picture of Master and I sharing an intimate kiss.

I brought out this picture more to spite her claims of being Master's wife than anything else.

It was a really nice picture too, Master's hands were on my back and pulling me close while mine was wrapped around the back of His neck. It was obvious that it was a lover's kiss.

I got the satisfaction of seeing her narrow her eyes in displeasure upon seeing the contents of the picture.

"Is this proof enough? Or do you require each of us to provide the same kind of picture?" I asked, injecting as much smugness into my voice as I could.

"There's no need," she scoffed, tossing a large piece of paper with an inscription carved on it on the floor. "Step through it and--"

The scription suddenly lit up and another woman was literally sent flying out of it.

She managed to flip herself in midair and land in a textbook three point landing.

"Where is… Your Majesty?!" She gasped, bowing to the tall woman in front of me.

"Muon, where is husband?" The tall woman asked impatiently.

"Reporting to your Majesty! A girl showed up while Sen… While your husband was still closing the portals! He said that she was a threat and immediately sent me through the portal before I could do anything!"

A girl? It must be the one that Master was chasing!

The tall woman turned to look at the inscription, "Is husband not coming through?!"

"He… He seemed to have wanted to fulfill his task and also to hold her back from interfering with us…"

That is not good, we have to help Master!

I was just about to step onto the inscription when multiple rifts opened up a distance away from us, allowing a horde of monsters to step through them.

In that brief time that I was distracted, the paper containing the inscription burst into flames, completely erasing it from existence.

"ARGGHH!!!" I roared, hating everything that was preventing us from reuniting with Master again.

Pointing my finger at the monsters that were the source of my current problems, I screamed out a single order for everyone.

"KILL THEM!!"
