The demonic humans were all extremely powerful, and their attacks were cruel and bloody. Almost all the experts of the Xuanyuan Family outside had their blood sucked or their corpses dismembered.
The experts of the Xuanyuan Family were caught off guard by the demonic human army and were forced to retreat. In less than half a day, tens of thousands of people had died. Corpses piled up into mountains and blood flowed like rivers.
The world was shocked!
For the first time in the past thousand years, the demonic humans had attracted the attention of the countless clans and cultivators of the Central Plains. With so many demonic humans, the people of the Central Plains had to pay attention to them.
One must know that the demonic humans were the natural enemies of cultivators. The Blood Devil Technique that the demonic humans cultivated required a large amount of blood from cultivators. Now that so many powerful demonic humans had appeared, how could the cultivators of the Central Plains not be shocked? Or even panic?
However, the cultivators of the Central Plains did not think that the Demonic Hall could contend against the Xuanyuan Family. After all, the Xuanyuan Family was the absolute overlord of the Central Plains. The Xuanyuan Family had been established in the Central Plains for thousands of years. How could they be dealt with by tens of thousands of demonic humans?
Thus, after the shock, the cultivators of the Central Plains began to mock the Demonic Hall. They planned to enjoy the hilarious scene of the Demonic Hall being utterly defeated by the Xuanyuan Family.
However —
The performance of the Xuanyuan Family shocked the countless clans and cultivators of the Central Plains. The reason was that the Xuanyuan Family did not retaliate against the demonic humans. Instead, they chose to withdraw their forces and recall their experts to defend the Xuanyuan Royal City.
What was wrong with the Xuanyuan Family? Was this still the number one clan that was domineering and overbearing? Countless cultivators of the Central Plains were dumbfounded. They were extremely confused.
Defense was not the style of the Xuanyuan Family. Unless the Xuanyuan Family admitted that they were no match for the Demonic Hall, or something major had happened within the Xuanyuan Family and they were unable to launch a counterattack against the Demonic Hall, so they chose to defend?
Something major must have happened within the Xuanyuan Family. Otherwise, the Xuanyuan Family would definitely attack and annihilate the Demonic Hall. Many people with high intelligence were certain of this.
This was indeed the case. A major incident had occurred within the Xuanyuan Family. Xuanyuan Hongyun, the patriarch of the Xuanyuan Family, was severely injured by poison, a poison that even the Alchemy Saint was helpless against.
If Xuanyuan Hongyun wasn't powerful enough to protect his heart and brain, he would've died from the poison long ago.
Even so, Xuanyuan Hongyun's situation was not optimistic. No one could cure him, and he could not force the poison out of his body.
Since Xuanyuan Hongyun came back last time, he had fainted in front of the Zhangsun Family's gate before he could say a word. His body turned black, showing that he was poisoned, which scared the guards of the Xuanyuan Family.
Later on, Xuanyuan Hongyun woke up once and said something shocking. He said that when he was traveling through the void, he encountered a rare void beast. The strange giant void beast immediately attacked him.
Xuanyuan Hongyun felt that he wasn't a match for the void beast, so he decisively tore through the void and fled. Unfortunately, he was still poisoned by the void beast.
Fortunately, he had already returned to this spatial plane. The void crack immediately closed, preventing the void beast from chasing him. Otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Xuanyuan Hongyun felt strange. The void beast was so powerful, so why couldn't it tear through the void and enter this spatial plane?
However, after discovering that he was poisoned, Xuanyuan Hongyun didn't have the time to care about other things. He immediately took the best antidote pill, but he found that it had no effect on the poison.
In order to survive, Xuanyuan Hongyun immediately used a large amount of deity's power and a special method to protect his heart and brain. Unfortunately, the effect was minimal. In the end, he fainted.
Something happened to Xuanyuan Hongyun as the patriarch. The entire Xuanyuan Family was shaken.
In order not to leak the news, the patriarch of the Xuanyuan Family, Xuanyuan Feihong, immediately ordered a lockdown on the news. He didn't allow anyone in the Xuanyuan Family to spread the news.
If anyone leaked the news, they would kill one. If they found a hundred, they would kill a hundred.
Xuanyuan Hongyun was the strongest person in the Xuanyuan Family. Now that even their strongest person had fallen, it was a huge blow to the Xuanyuan Family. If outsiders learned about this, the families eyeing the Xuanyuan Family's position as the overlord might have malicious intentions.
The Xuanyuan Family wasn't afraid of trouble, nor were they afraid of enemies. However, they needed time to find a way to treat Zhangsun Hongyun. They didn't have the time to deal with the schemes of their enemies.
If the other three great clans learned that Xuanyuan Hongyun was poisoned and took the opportunity to deal with the Xuanyuan Family, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Putting aside whether the Xuanyuan Family could resist the alliance of the other three great clans after losing their strongest person, it was hard to say if the Xuanyuan Family would have the time to find a way to treat Xuanyuan Hongyun.
It was fate that Xiao Chen met and saved Xuanyuan Yuxin previously. At that time, Xuanyuan Yuxin sneaked out of the Xuanyuan Family to find the legendary Cloudmist Immortal Herb for her grandfather, Xuanyuan Hongyun.
However, as soon as Xuanyuan Yuxin left the Xuanyuan Royal City, she was immediately targeted by the demonic people. The Devil Hall sent out a demigod fifth level demonic eagle to lead a group of demonic people to hunt down Xuanyuan Yuxin.
If it wasn't for Xiao Chen's help and Xuanyuan Boyu's timely arrival, Xuanyuan Yuxin would have already fallen into the hands of the demonic people and been transported to the Devil Hall.
Since the Devil Hall dared to make a move on Xuanyuan Yuxin, they had already planned to make a move on the Xuanyuan Family. It was unknown why the Devil Hall wanted to make an enemy of the strongest great clans. There must be some hidden reason.
Of course, it was also possible that there was nothing hidden. It was just that the Demon Hall had discovered that Xuanyuan Hongyun was poisoned and had fallen. The ambitious Demon Hall, who wanted to dominate the Central Prefecture, wanted to use this opportunity to kill Xuanyuan Hongyun and destroy the Xuanyuan Family.
The Devil Hall originally wanted to capture Xuanyuan Yuxin to threaten the Xuanyuan Family to hand over Xuanyuan Hongyun. However, their scheme failed and they even lost a hall master. However, they didn't dare to attack the Xuanyuan Family directly, so they waited for an opportunity.
The Zhangsun Family's declaration of war against the Li and Zhou Family created an opportunity for the Devil Hall to provoke the Xuanyuan Family.
Hence, the Devil Hall took advantage of the chaos when the Zhangsun Family declared war against the Li and Zhou Family to attack the Xuanyuan Family's experts outside. Their goal was to cause chaos in the entire Central Prefecture. Clearly, the Devil Hall's goal was about to be achieved.
If the Central Prefecture was in complete chaos, the martial artists of the Central Prefecture wouldn't easily unite. A disunited Central Prefecture was the best time for the demonic people to take advantage of the chaos and expand. After all, there were hundreds of millions of martial artists in the Central Prefecture, and the number of demonic people was definitely much less than the number of martial artists.
The Devil Hall had secretly developed and expanded in order to dominate the Central Prefecture. However, the overall strength of the Devil Hall couldn't compete with all the martial artists in the Central Prefecture.
Now, because of Xiao Chen, an outsider, a series of major events had happened in the Central Prefecture, leading to the start of a chaotic era.
The Devil Hall, who had accumulated great strength, immediately seized this opportunity to provoke the Xuanyuan Family. Their goal was to accelerate the process of chaos in the Central Prefecture.
