Xia Daoyun no longer concerned herself with the matter, only casting a glance at Lin Yao and saying, "Sect Master, during this time, you need to find another opportunity to appear in front of the Demon Race..."

Boom!

A massive tremor occurred at Yumen Pass.

The Long Wind Formation was activated, and the azure heavenly light suddenly dispersed, enveloping Yumen Pass.

Xia Daoyun and Yu Canghai's expressions changed simultaneously as they immediately left Qingyun Palace, rose into the air, and looked towards the source of the vibration.

There, crimson light surged like fresh blood.

An ancient, awe-inspiring, terrifyingly powerful long halberd struck the facade of Yumen Pass, attempting to cut through it, break the city, and carve a path.

The long halberd seemed to be cast from bronze, yet it was entirely crimson, enormously thick, and its might was unimaginably terrifying.

The Long Wind Formation was activated, and the azure light roiled.

Upon the long halberd, scarlet light shot up to the sky, with an aura so terrifying that even through the city walls and the great formation, it made one's heart quiver.

The cultivators on Yumen Pass shivered under the oppressive aura of the long halberd, their spirits trembling.

"It must be a top-tier demon of the Demon Race making their move. This power is too horrifying!" they feared.

"It's Chi Venerable's Red Halberd." Above Qingyun Palace, Yu Canghai's expression instantly darkened upon seeing the scene.

Chi Venerable, a supreme overlord with top-tier Demon Lord combat power.

The entire Yumen Pass had only one individual that matched such top-tier Demon Lord combat power—the Sect Master, Xie Qingyun.

It was evident how terrifying the combat power of a top-tier Demon Lord was.

"Chi Venerable making a move, how can this be? Are they launching the final battle?" Yu Canghai frowned.

Boom!

The Red Halberd trembled and struck down again, attempting to shatter the Long Wind Formation, driving torrents of red light, surging violently downward.

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!

The Long Wind Formation's azure light flared up, its brilliance endless, engulfing the Red Halberd's crimson light and suppressing it, preventing it from breaking the formation so easily.

"With the Long Wind Formation here!" The trembling cultivators on Yumen Pass noticed the Red Halberd's inability to breach the formation and couldn't help but feel a slight sense of relief.

This was the formation established by the Ancestral Taoist, and it was precisely due to this formation that the Human Race had been able to keep the Demon Race at bay for twenty thousand years.

Unexpectedly, after the setback, the Red Halberd did not retreat; instead, it accelerated its pace, persistently and forcefully assaulting the Long Wind Formation.

Boom, boom, boom!

The formation trembled violently, with ripples constantly spreading within the azure light, seemingly on the verge of breaking at any moment. Many cultivators atop the city wall felt a chill spreading through their bodies.

What kind of terrifying might is this?

Is this the combat power of a top-tier Demon Lord?

"I know... this is the weapon of Chi Venerable of the Demon Race, one of the three peak experts of the War Demon Clan!"

A trembling voice from a cultivator uttered this name.

Chi Venerable, notorious and formidable in strength.

Now, such an existence personally wielded this weapon.

No wonder, a single Red Halberd could contend with the Ancestral Daoist Great Formation, even attempting to break it.

Because this is the weapon of a top-tier expert from the War Demon Clan!

"How can this be, why is he attacking the city? Could it be the Demon Race has decided to initiate the final battle?" At this moment, numerous exclamations arose, followed by a wave of hair-raising chills down their spines.

This possibility was too shocking, the news incredibly startling.

It should be called bad news!

There was no worse news than this.

Everyone knew that in the Tianyuan Year, the Demon Race would sooner or later launch the second Tao-Demon War, once again attacking the Human Race, heralding chaos in the world, widespread devastation, signifying blood and bones.

But no one expected this day to come so suddenly and swiftly.

They weren't ready; they hoped this moment could be delayed as long as possible.

The cultivators on the walls, thinking about the various events to unfold once the Tao-Demon War began, couldn't help but feel anxious, clenching their fists tightly.

"It's impossible to start a war just like that." Compared to Yu Canghai, Xia Daoyun's expression barely changed, coldly and confidently uttering two words from her mouth.

As Xia Daoyun said, change quickly occurred.

"Look, the halberd has stopped." A cultivator on the walls called out.

Indeed, after continuously bombarding the Long Wind Formation for a while, the Red Halberd halted, suspended motionless in the air.

"How could Yumen Pass be so easily broken? If they could truly break the city this easily, would they have stood against us for two thousand years, not daring to act rashly, wasting time with us? They would have long launched an all-out massacre," Xia Daoyun said.

If Chi Venerable were truly that powerful, breaking the pass with one halberd, would Yumen Pass still exist peacefully until now?

Whoosh!

Another figure abruptly appeared beside the two.

The Peak Master of Sheathless Peak, Xue Wujian.

"But the Demon Race making such a big move surely doesn't bode well," he said, having heard the prior conversation between Xia Daoyun and Yu Canghai.

"Let's go, we should go see what's happening first," Yu Canghai responded.

"Sect Master, come with us," Xia Daoyun said.

With Chi Venerable breaking the pass, how could Xie Qingyun possibly not show up?

Hence, "Xie Qingyun" must accompany them to the pass to check the specific situation and take command of the battle, even directly negotiating with the Demon Lords of the Demon Race.

"Let's go!"

The four of them didn't hesitate any longer; with a flicker of their figures, they rode their swords towards the pass.

Of course, Lin Yao's cultivation was insufficient, and her Escape Technique couldn't compare to the other three.

Therefore, to avoid exposing any weakness, Yu Canghai utilized the Sword Separation Technique to control his sword and carry Lin Yao along.
