Chapter 12980 was despised by the monster
"However, war is ruthless, and most of them eventually perished, leaving behind only desolation and sadness. Today, we are able to encounter this surviving one here by chance. It is truly a rare opportunity. It is truly God's will. Very good, very good!"

After saying this, the Demon Soul King gently waved his sleeves, and a thick black mist swirled out from his body, slowly wrapping around the huge body of the Demon Soul Beast like a spiritual creature.

The black fog seemed to contain an ancient and powerful force, which gently and irresistibly penetrated into every cell of the Demon Soul Beast, instantly calming its originally violent and restless breath. Its huge body trembled and slowly crawled on the ground, with awe and obedience flashing in its eyes.

After completing all this, the Demon Soul King slowly turned around and looked at Ling Xiao with a deep gaze. His eyes showed both the intention of supporting the younger generation and a hint of imperceptible majesty.

"This beast is under my control. You can make good use of it and make it work for you. But remember, you need to be humble and respectful when dealing with it, because in its cognition, you may still seem as small as an ant. The reason why it is willing to obey your orders is entirely because of my intervention and arrangement."

At this point, a faint smile emerged on the Demon Soul King's face. That smile contained both expectations for Ling Xiao's future and confidence in his own strength.

Then, he moved and turned into a ball of black mist again, blending silently into the surrounding darkness like a ghost, leaving only a series of whispers echoing in the air and the demon soul beast still crawling on the ground as proof of his existence.

Ling Xiao looked at the Demon Soul Beast as if in a dream.

His eyes were as if attracted by a magnetic force, tightly locked onto the demon soul beast, and an indescribable shock and curiosity surged in his heart.

This giant beast seemed like a creature from ancient legends. Although its appearance was similar to that of a chimpanzee, it was much larger and more ferocious. Its body was majestic, almost four or five meters tall, and it exuded a sense of oppression that could not be ignored. It was obvious that its strength was far superior to that of a strong man in the Tongtian realm, which made people involuntarily feel awe.

In Ling Xiao's eyes, this was not just a visual shock, but also a profound realization of his own insignificance and powerlessness.

If it weren't for the appearance and help of the Demon Soul King, he knew very well that he would not have had any chance to resist in front of such a huge monster. This realization made Ling Xiao's gratitude towards the Demon Soul King even deeper.

He tried to calm his inner turmoil, took a few steps forward slowly, and tried to make his voice sound calm and sincere:
"Brother Hei, hello, I am Ling Xiao. In this martial arts world, I always have the greatest respect and admiration for the strong. Although you are a monster, you are extraordinary and admirable. I hope to coexist peacefully with you, and perhaps in the future we can support each other and explore this vast martial arts world together."

Ling Xiao's words not only showed his humility and courtesy as a martial artist, but also revealed his expectations and visions for the future. He knew very well that it would be a great fortune and help to be able to make friends with such a strong man on the road of martial arts.

The Demon Soul Beast did not seem to respond to Ling Xiao's words immediately. Two streams of white mist were seen spurting out of its nostrils. The mist rose in the air with a bit of disdain and arrogance.

However, it did not leave or show hostility towards Ling Xiao. Instead, it maintained that posture and sat there quietly. There seemed to be some emotion flowing in its deep eyes, as if it was really listening to Ling Xiao's next words, and as if it was weighing something.

This scene made Ling Xiao more convinced that although this demon soul beast looked ferocious, it also had its own unique wisdom and considerations.

"Brother Hei, I will soon face some urgent matters and need to leave here temporarily. During this period, can you please take care of my mother and aunt? Their safety is of utmost importance to me."

Ling Xiao spoke again, his tone full of sincerity and expectation. He knew very well that the journey he was about to embark on was full of unknowns and dangers. Only by entrusting his loved ones to a trustworthy force could he feel a little at ease.

However, in the face of Ling Xiao's request, the Demon Soul Beast still held its head high, with disdain and arrogance flashing in its deep eyes, as if it sneered at Ling Xiao's proposal.

This scene made Ling Xiao feel a little amused and helpless. He did not expect that he would be "despised" by a monster in such a way. He felt helpless and a bit self-deprecating in his heart.

At this moment, the Demon Soul Beast suddenly let out a low and sad wail, the sound was full of pain and submission. Obviously, it had just been suppressed or punished by some force.

Then, the majestic voice of the Demon Soul King sounded beside Ling Xiao's ears: "Don't be so arrogant, you evil beast. This kid is the future hope of our Demon Sect. I have to give him some face. How can you be so rude? I'm showing you some respect, and you're still excited!"

Hearing the Demon Soul King's reprimand, the Demon Soul Beast's body trembled slightly, and the arrogance in its eyes instantly dissipated a lot. It seemed to understand its own situation, and also felt the importance that the Demon Soul King attached to Ling Xiao. So, it finally lowered its head. Although it did not speak directly, its obedience and compromise were self-evident.

“Don’t worry, these two women stay here. They are safe with me here. Even if something happens to me, they will be safe too.” Although the Demon Soul Beast did not open its lips, its deep and firm voice resounded like thunder in Ling Xiao’s soul sea, giving him unprecedented peace of mind and strength.

Ling Xiao felt a warm current in his heart when he heard this. He knew the weight of this promise and felt the unquestionable strength and determination of the Demon Soul Beast. He solemnly bowed his hands and expressed his gratitude to the Demon Soul Beast: "Thank you, Brother Hei! Ling Xiao will remember your great kindness in his heart."

Then, Ling Xiao turned to face Jiang Xiruo and Jiang Xiqing, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.

He said softly, "Mother, aunt, you can just rest here and heal your wounds. Those who dared to invade us are no longer a threat to us. I promise you that when I go out this time, I will not only completely eliminate the threat from the Jiang family, but also find those rare holy medicines for Ali to help her recover soon."

Jiang Xiruo frowned upon hearing this, her eyes full of worry. She knew Ling Xiao's determination and courage, but she also could not ignore the huge power and background of the Jiang and Ji families.

"It's dangerous, Xiao'er." She said softly, "Although Jiang Lianheng and Jiang Yuan are injured, the Jiang family has a deep foundation and many experts, so the overall strength has not been weakened too much. What's more, the people of the Ji family are still stationed in the Jiang family, and their strength cannot be underestimated. You must be careful on this trip and don't underestimate the enemy."
