This cultivation world was never serious from the start.

Only after the Demon Emperor's insistence did the old woman reluctantly leave, carrying the child with her.

Yang couldn't hold back any longer and spoke up, "Senior, are you really willing to let these mortals waste so much of your time? After all, you are a Golden Core cultivator. What I mean is, you also have cultivators under your command..."

According to the rules of Linshui City, the trivial matters of mortals should be managed by cultivators with Qi Refining cultivation. They are responsible for the entire city and cannot stay for one person.

"You don't understand," the Demon Emperor spoke slowly, "Did you see the child in her arms? Born with a serious illness, even Foundation Establishment cultivators were helpless. What was your first reaction?"

"A life cut short?" Yang asked, taken aback.

"That's right!" The Demon Emperor slapped his thigh heavily. "This is his fate! This is the destiny that heaven and earth bestowed upon him! But look at our Heavenly Demon Sect! We directly defied the heavens and changed his fate! Tell me, for our Demon Sect, does such defying the heavens depend on cultivation level?"

Yang thought about it and realized he really couldn't tell the difference.

"Then, senior, why do we have to be tested on the ability to induce despair when we enter the sect?" Chen Feng asked from the side.

"Defying fate is inherently a despairing thing, understand? First, instill despair, then give hope..."

As he spoke, the Demon Emperor paused again, his body trembled slightly, and he let out a soft moan of pleasure.

"Ah~ How incredibly powerful this is~"

Su Zhe's expression was complicated; it was truly unbelievable.

"So our Heavenly Demon Sect doesn't do bad things?" Zhang Haizhu asked.

"Go ahead! Follow me!" The Demon Emperor sneered, flicked his black cloak, and led the four of them deeper into the city.

Along the way, the group mostly encountered ordinary people and low-level cultivators, almost all of whom had some metal bodies.

In Su Zhe's view, it seemed like he had stumbled into cyberpunk.

  

Whether it's true cyberpunk or just a Warhammer clone remains to be seen.

Finally, the Demon Emperor led Su Zhe and the other three to a tall, completely black building.

The building was heavily guarded, with more than a dozen powerful demon lords stationed there.

If it weren't for the Demon Emperor himself leading the way, Su Zhe and the others wouldn't even have had the chance to get close to the building!

Seeing that the Demon Emperor had arrived in person, a Demon Lord quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"How was the harvest today?" the Demon Emperor asked coldly.

"Only fifteen were captured..." The Demon Lord's expression was grim.

"Useless! You only caught so few! What about the year-end assessment? Don't I, the Demon Emperor, have any dignity? I'll have to catch thirty more in the capital of Chu tomorrow!"

The Demon Emperor's face darkened, and he let out a cold shout.

Upon hearing the words of the Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor, the Demon Lord trembled and quickly agreed.

Yang's face lit up with joy, feeling that he had finally caught the Demonic Sect red-handed!

As long as he has the chance to leave, he will inform the Chu royal family to severely punish these heaven-defying demonic sects!

"Everyone, let's go! Come and see the most terrifying place in our Heavenly Demon Sect!"

The Demon Emperor, defying the heavens, cackled and led the group into the black building.

As soon as they entered the soundproof enclosure, they heard heart-wrenching screams.

"No! Let me go! You beasts! I'll haunt you even as a ghost!"

"No! No! Let me go! I promise I'll never curse you again!"

"what……"

The screams were exceptionally shrill, and they came from more than one room.

Su Zhe raised an eyebrow, feeling that this matter was not so simple.

Zhang Haizhu was so frightened that he trembled all over and dared not speak.

Chen Feng frowned slightly, his hand already on his longsword, seemingly ready to draw it at any moment to lend a hand.

As for Yang, he actually had a smug look on his face.

"Found it! Found it!"

Yang excitedly shouted in his heart, "Finally, we have found evidence of the Heavenly Demon Sect's crimes!"

Upon returning, he reported to both the Chu Kingdom and the Tianwen Sect, and in one fell swoop, the Tianmo Sect was defeated!

"These people are really reckless!" The Demon Emperor frowned slightly.

He pushed open the door to the room next to him, revealing what was inside.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old child was lying on the bed struggling, his face filled with fear and resistance.

Beside the bed, there was a powerful figure of Demon Lord caliber, wielding a long sword in one hand and a mechanical arm made of metal in the other, gesturing wildly.

Upon closer inspection, the child's right arm was empty, clearly indicating that he was born without a right arm.

"What's going on here?" The Demon Emperor sneered, his face contorted with anger. "Did you even read the Demon Sect's rules?! How can you let your guests be so resistant!"

"I...I was a little impatient, I was wrong, I'll appease him right away!" The Demon Lord's expression changed drastically, and he quickly spoke.

The Demon Emperor snorted coldly and led his group out.

Standing in the corridor, Yang felt that his mind was not quite right.

"Where am I?" he asked, bewildered.

"They're defying the heavens! Hahahaha! They're defying the will of heaven, forcibly changing that child's fate! Making him grow an arm he wasn't born with!"

The Demon Emperor sneered and spoke arrogantly.

After saying that, he looked at Yang and said, "Moreover, that child wasn't there willingly! He was kidnapped by us! Hahahaha! We're not only defying heaven, but also defying humanity!"

Su Zhe's expression was complicated. Forced medical treatment, really?

He probably understood.

There isn't a single normal person in the entire Heavenly Demon Sect.

Or rather, it seems rather abnormal in this world of cultivation...

No, it's not that serious even when viewed within the Warhammer universe.

"This is outrageous... You are blaspheming against destiny!" Yang's lips were trembling.

"Why are you making such a fuss? You wouldn't happen to be a spy sent by the Heavenly Questioning Sect, would you?" The Demon Emperor of Heaven frowned slightly and asked.

"Hahahaha! That's definitely not it. I just think this is too... too audacious. Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?" Yang immediately put on a smile and asked.

"What is the name of our sect?" the Demon Emperor asked.

"The Heavenly Demon Sect, huh?" Yang replied.

"That settles it then. You've become a demon, why are you afraid of divine punishment? To put it bluntly, if everyone in the Demon Sect had a golden body of merit, wouldn't that be even more outrageous?"

The Demon Emperor who defied the heavens said matter-of-factly.

Everything he said made perfect sense, and Su Zhe couldn't help but sigh, "He's absolutely right."

"So, senior, what is the purpose of our Heavenly Demon Sect?" Su Zhe asked.

"Defy the heavens," said the Demon Emperor. "Just these four words. If you can do them, you'll prove you're a qualified disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect! And you'll be able to meet the great Heavenly Demon Lord!"

The Heavenly Demon he mentioned is the sect leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, who in just a thousand years transformed the Heavenly Demon Sect from an obscure little clinic into a ruthless figure who is renowned as one of the four great demon sects!

"Is it that difficult? Is there a faster way to see Lord Heavenly Demon?" Su Zhe asked casually.

"Of course!" The Demon Emperor nodded. "As long as one can answer a question posed by the Heavenly Demon Lord, one can have an audience with him. However, no one has ever succeeded in answering it in the past thousand years."

"What?" Chen Feng asked.

"Imperial Jade Liquor!" the Heaven-Defying Demon Emperor exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Su Zhe instinctively replied, "One hundred and eighty per cup."

The next moment, boundless darkness descended!
