Xuanyuan Feihong was infuriated by the Demonic Hall's provocation, but he didn't give the order to launch a counterattack. Instead, he chose to reduce the scope of the battle and focus on defending Xuanyuan Kingdom.
He wouldn't fight a battle he wasn't confident in.
Before thoroughly investigating the Demonic Hall's overall strength, the Xuanyuan Family couldn't launch an all-out counterattack against the Demonic Hall. If they launched an attack recklessly, they would only fall into the Demonic Hall's trap.
The Xuanyuan Clan was an aristocratic clan with a sense of justice. They had an innate sense of disgust towards evil forces. It could be said that they hated evil as if it was their mortal enemy. The Devil Hall was an organization of the devils, so they naturally had to think of a way to eradicate it.
In the past decade or so, the Xuanyuan Family had investigated the Demonic Hall. Although they found many of the Demonic Hall's branches, they couldn't find the location of the main hall.
The Xuanyuan Family was puzzled by this. How could the Demonic Hall's main hall be hidden in the sky or underground?
In order not to alert the enemy, the Xuanyuan Family decided not to make a move for the time being. Perhaps the Demonic Hall was aware of their investigation and bore a grudge against them.
In order to take revenge on the Xuanyuan Family, the Demonic Hall sent out a large number of scouts to monitor the Xuanyuan Family's every move. They even planted spies into the Xuanyuan Family. Thus, the world didn't know that something had happened to Xuanyuan Hongyun, but the Demonic Hall did.
The capture of Xuanyuan Yuxin and the provocation against the Xuanyuan Family were the Demonic Hall's retaliation against the Xuanyuan Family. Moreover, their retaliation would only grow more intense and frenzied.
There was no doubt about this.
The Xuanyuan Family's decision to defend was actually a wise one. Apart from knowing oneself and the enemy, Xuanyuan Feihong also deduced that the Demonic Hall's ultimate goal was to kill Xuanyuan Hongyun.
Xuanyuan Hongyun was currently unconscious. If the Xuanyuan Family mobilized all their experts to kill the exposed demons, it would be equivalent to falling into the Demonic Hall's trap.
Once the Xuanyuan Family was emptied of experts, the Demonic Hall's top experts would definitely sneak into the Xuanyuan Family to assassinate Xuanyuan Hongyun.
Xuanyuan Hongyun only had two sons. one was Xuanyuan Feihong, and the other was Xuanyuan Boyu.
Xuanyuan Feihong and Xuanyuan Boyu were more than 20 years apart in age. Both brothers were peerless geniuses. One of them was at the peak of the first level of the Heavenly God Realm while the other was at the eighth level of the Demigod Realm.
Xuanyuan Hongyun also had a daughter named Xuanyuan Xueji. She was a beautiful middle-aged widow, Xuanyuan Feihong's younger sister and Xuanyuan Boyu's older sister. She was nearly fifty years old, but she looked to be in her early thirties.
Xuanyuan Xueji had only loved one man in her life, and she had married him. Unfortunately, that man had a short life. He died a few years after their marriage, at the edge of the Death Valley, one of the ten forbidden areas. The cause of his death was unknown, and it became an unsolved case.
Xuanyuan Boyu really wanted to lead the Xuanyuan Family's experts to retaliate against the Demonic Hall. However, he wasn't a fool. He understood his elder brother's strategy. Hence, he could only suppress the anger and killing intent in his heart.
The Xuanyuan Family couldn't fall into chaos. The upper echelons of the Xuanyuan Family couldn't fall into chaos either. Otherwise, they would fall into the Demonic Hall's trap. If that happened, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The Xuanyuan Family chose to keep a low profile, but the Demonic Hall wouldn't give the Xuanyuan Family any chance to catch their breath. The next day, the Demonic Hall increased their forces by several times. Close to a million powerful demons besieged the Xuanyuan Royal City, provoking the Xuanyuan Family.
The Demonic Hall still hoped that the Xuanyuan Family would lose their composure so that they could get rid of Xuanyuan Hongyun. As long as Xuanyuan Hongyun died, the Xuanyuan Family would definitely fall into chaos.
The strength of the demons besieging the Xuanyuan Royal City varied. The weakest among them was in the Purple Elephant realm, while the strongest was in the Divine Dragon realm. There wasn't even a single Demigod realm expert among them. However, they had the advantage in numbers.
The million demons was more than twenty times more than the total population of the Xuanyuan Family. It seemed like the Demonic Hall was planning to use the million demons as bait and cannon fodder to thoroughly infuriate the Xuanyuan Family.
However, Xuanyuan Feihong and Xuanyuan Boyu weren't fools. They issued a strict order to the Xuanyuan Family, forbidding the experts of the family from leaving the city to hunt down the demons. They could only attack the demons from afar from the wooden platforms that were temporarily built within the city walls.
The four bronze gates of the Xuanyuan Royal City had long been closed. No one was allowed to leave the city. This was mainly to prevent the demons from entering the city and causing chaos in the city.
The other major and minor clans in the Xuanyuan Royal City shared the same fate as the Xuanyuan Family. They quickly sent out their experts to assist the Xuanyuan Family in killing the demons.
Eventually, the Xuanyuan Family gave the order to activate the protective barrier and ignored the demons. There weren't any Demigod realm experts among the demons, so it was impossible for them to break the protective barrier.
However, the Xuanyuan Family had a strategy to defend against the demons. The Demonic Hall wasn't a pushover. Very soon, they sent over a dozen Demigod realm experts to attack the protective barrier.
As a result, the Xuanyuan Family and the Demonic Hall started a war of attrition.
The Demonic Hall's goal was to thoroughly infuriate the Xuanyuan Family. The Xuanyuan Family was stubbornly defending the Xuanyuan Royal City, and the demons didn't have any good ideas. Other than using energy attacks, the demons also used verbal warfare to insult and ridicule the Xuanyuan Family.
It was a pity that the Xuanyuan Family didn't care about the bird demons' insults and ridicule. They suppressed the anger and killing intent in their hearts and silently remembered this debt. They would take revenge ten times, a hundred times in the future.
The Demonic Hall had sent over a dozen Demigod realm experts. Even though the strongest one was only at the Demigod realm third level, the Xuanyuan Family guessed that the Demonic Hall definitely had a lot of Demigod realm experts, and they might even have Heavenly Gods.
This wasn't good news. The Xuanyuan Family did have a lot of Demigod realm experts, but other than Xuanyuan Feihong, there was only Xuanyuan Hongyun, who had been poisoned.
If the Demonic Hall had a Heavenly God, the Xuanyuan Family would still be able to deal with it. However, if the Demonic Hall had two Heavenly Gods, the Xuanyuan Family would be facing a huge threat.
This was the other reason why Xuanyuan Feihong gave the order to defend. The Xuanyuan Dynasty's protective barrier was incomparably powerful. It could withstand the combined attack of a large number of Demigod realm experts, and it could even withstand the powerful attack of a Heavenly God.
Xuanyuan Feihong and Xuanyuan Boyu had already hidden Xuanyuan Hongyun in the Xuanyuan Family's secret underground chamber. As long as they guarded the Xuanyuan King's Residence, Xuanyuan Hongyun would be safe for the time being.
At this moment, inside the Xuanyuan King's Mansion, which was protected by three layers of energy barriers, experts were as numerous as the clouds. Nearly thirty thousand experts of the Xuanyuan Clan were guarding the Xuanyuan King's Mansion like an impregnable iron fortress.
That's right!
The Xuanyuan King's Residence had long been protected by three layers of energy barriers. Now was the era of war. Xuanyuan Feihong immediately gave the order to activate the three layers of energy barriers to defend the Xuanyuan King's Residence.
The Xuanyuan Royal City was the first line of defense, and the Xuanyuan King's Residence was the second line of defense.
