As soon as Chi Venerable spoke, the human cultivators on the fortress turned pale, their hearts shook.

Could it be that the Demon Race has gone to such great lengths, launching such a large-scale assault, just for a battle with Xie Qingyun?

The appearance of the three Venerables together, to the cultivators at Yumen Pass, was a scenario only seen in a final decisive battle.

"Fight or not, Xie Qingyun, you should think carefully."

"Since the three of us are here today, it's impossible for us to leave without doing anything," Chi Venerable spoke again, with threatening intent unmistakable — if Xie Qingyun doesn't fight, they will attack Yumen Pass, not leaving empty-handed.

Bang!

As Chi Venerable's words fell, War Venerable standing beside him suddenly made a move, creating an imposing presence.

His golden spear shot up to the sky, shining with dazzling golden light, accompanied by fierce demonic qi, sweeping thousands of miles, bombarding toward Yumen Pass.

The cultivators on Yumen Pass felt a cold chill from their souls, as if Mount Tai was pressing down on them, unstoppable.

This was an overwhelming pressure that was hard to experience without personal confrontation, making the cultivators on Yumen Pass feel a chill from head to toe.

Because the demonic qi on the golden spear was so terrifying that even through the Long Wind Formation, it shook everyone's spirit deeply.

Buzz!

The Void trembled, azure light emerged, the Long Wind Formation was activated, with gusts of wind rolling up to intercept the golden spear.

Both collided, causing a terrifying wave that shook Yumen Pass.

The Long Wind Formation remained unbreakable, successfully blocking the attack.

However, the faces of the cultivators on the walls were extremely unsightly, filled with worry, and an anxious mood quickly spread.

Indeed, the Long Wind Formation was incredibly strong.

But it could block the Demon Lord for a time, can it really block them forever?

Outside the fortress, countless demon forces gathered densely, like a black iron flood, with the War Venerable's action, they brandished their weapons and let out a unified war cry.

"War Venerable, War Venerable!"

The voices connected together, shaking above and below, forming a terrifying sonic wave.

If not for the Long Wind Formation's barrier, it could have caused some harm to the cultivators on the fortress.

This was an overt pressure, forcing Xie Qingyun to make a choice.

Chi Venerable raised his hand and pressed down, the roaring war cries ceased, and War Venerable withdrew the golden spear first.

"In recent wars, both sides have lost many people, and we no longer wish to continue this meaningless consumption.

I offer you, the Human Race, a chance for a relatively peaceful resolution." Chi Venerable spoke again, his tone still extremely cold, devoid of any emotional fluctuation, intimidating many.

"If you can defeat the three of us one by one, we'll retreat for now and not attack for at least ten years." Chi Venerable made a promise in front of both humans and demons.

Everyone was shocked, not expecting Chi Venerable to intend this.

Although there's a possibility of Chi Venerable going back on his word, a promise made by a Demon Lord in front of so many actually had a very small chance of not being fulfilled, it could be relied upon.

For a time, all eyes turned to "Xie Qingyun."

The demon cultivators naturally had full confidence in their Demon Lords, hoping Xie Qingyun would accept the battle and be defeated hard by their Demon Lords, crushing the morale of the human cultivators.

The cultivators of Yumen Pass likewise had immense trust in Xie Qingyun, believing in the invincibility of the Sword Immortal's capabilities, hoping Xie Qingyun could sweep away the three demon lords, boosting morale while also buying time for Yumen Pass.

Currently, with half of the Sword Sect on an expedition to the west, Yumen Pass was at its weakest.

Furthermore, there are countless prodigies among the new generation of human cultivators. If the demon race could delay their attack on Yumen Pass, allowing the new generation to grow, perhaps everything could be rewritten, drastically changing the course of the war.

The human race now was most lacking time.

Faced with this situation, "Xie Qingyun" remained calm.

But Lin Yao's mind was already in turmoil.

She believed, if the real Qingyun Sword Immortal were here, he would have readily agreed to Chi Venerable's terms.

She actually wanted to agree.

However, she was not the Qingyun Sword Immortal, merely a fake, Li Gui, without Xie Qingyun's strength.

Thus, Lin Yao couldn't agree to Chi Venerable's terms.

But the problem was, in this situation, without a reasonable excuse for rejecting outright, it would not only disappoint the cultivators at Yumen Pass, thinking "Qingyun Sword Immortal" feared battle, plummeting morale, but also arouse suspicion among the demons, questioning her identity.

A dilemma.

The demon race's sudden action caught everyone off guard, pushing Lin Yao to the edge of a cliff, with no easy way forward or back.

"What do you say? Xie Qingyun, are you afraid of the three of us, and without the Long Wind Formation, you're nothing?" Chi Venerable said.

"Impossible! How could Qingyun Sword Immortal fear you lowly demons?" Before "Xie Qingyun" could reply, a Yumen Pass cultivator on the fortress angrily retorted, feeling Chi Venerable's words insulted the Qingyun Sword Immortal, and found it unacceptable.

"Insolent!" Someone even rebuked Chi Venerable through the Long Wind Formation.

The pressure from Chi Venerable was indeed strong, making them tremble.

But these cultivators had always been battling the demon race, with resilient wills and strong spirits, even if their souls were shaken, they still had the courage to speak out.

Above the fortress, it became extremely bustling.
