Chapter 13018: Ji Jiao who doesn't believe in evil
Ji Jiao opened his mouth and was about to continue arguing, but he saw a flash of impatience in the deep eyes of the Demon Soul King, and his words were like ice, interrupting his unfinished words: "Just take my words back word for word, no need to say more. My patience is limited, and I don't have time to listen to your long-winded talk."

The voice of the Demon Soul King was deep and powerful, and every word hit Ji Jiao's heart like a heavy hammer, causing him to take a step back involuntarily, and his expression was uncertain and complex. He knew that the strength of the black-robed man in front of him was unfathomable, but the unwillingness and stubbornness in his heart made it difficult for him to give up.

Taking a deep breath, Ji Jiao slowly took out a crystal clear jade pendant from the secret pocket inside his lapel. The jade pendant exuded a faint warm luster, and it was obviously not an ordinary object.

He raised his head and looked at the Demon Soul King with a firm gaze. His voice was trembling but it was full of determination that should not be underestimated: "Senior, your might is overwhelming, but I dare to think that it is too childish to think that you can make me retreat just by relying on your might. Although I am not talented, I am willing to learn from you and prove what I have learned."

Ji Jiao's courage was indeed extraordinary. The unwillingness and curiosity in his heart burned like a raging fire, driving him to make a bold decision.

In his opinion, although the Demon Soul King was very imposing, there were many people in the martial arts world who were just bluffing. He was worried that this senior might just be a paper tiger, strong on the outside but weak on the inside. Therefore, he decided to test the Demon Soul King himself to verify his true strength.

Ji Jiao knew very well that if he just brought the Demon Soul King's words back to the Ji family intact and retreated without making any attempt, it would not only make him lose face in the family.

"Humph!"

This cold snort burst out from the Demon Soul King's throat, low and deep, like thunder suddenly sounding in the eternal ice, instantly shaking the surrounding air, and even the space seemed to be slightly distorted. Ji Jiao's face suddenly changed at this moment. He felt an invisible pressure emanating from the Demon Soul King, like a heavy stone weighing down his head, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Immediately afterwards, an indescribable chill spread from Jijiao's right arm, it was a kind of fear and despair coming from the depths of his soul.

Although his body had not suffered any direct damage from external forces, his right arm seemed to be tightly bound by invisible chains. All his nerves and muscles lost control at this moment, as if his soul had been pulled out and he was completely unable to move.

The intense pain and feeling of powerlessness intertwined together made Ji Jiao scream, and the voice was full of fear and unwillingness.

An unprecedented panic surged in his heart, a deep fear of unknown forces and a sense of helplessness about the fate he was about to face.

At this critical moment, Ji Jiao did not hesitate for a moment. He quickly took out the jade token that was shining with warm white light from his arms. It was his last trump card, an ancient artifact that carried an ancient teleportation array. The runes on the jade token seemed to be activated at this moment, flowing with a faint spiritual light, echoing the urgency and despair in Ji Jiao's heart.

As Ji Jiao's mind moved, the light on the jade token suddenly burst out, forming a dazzling space crack that instantly swallowed him whole.

This process was completed almost in the blink of an eye. Ji Jiao's figure disappeared out of thin air in the astonished gaze of everyone, leaving only a series of residual sounds echoing in the air and the jade plate that had been completely shattered into countless small pieces.

The jade token, as a treasure passed down from generation to generation in the Ji family, is not only engraved with an ancient teleportation array leading to a safe place, but also carries the wisdom and expectations of the Ji family's ancestors.

However, these three precious opportunities to use have now been exhausted. The shattering of the jade token not only marks a great sacrifice for Ji Jiao, but also indicates that he will face a more difficult situation in the future.

But at this critical moment, Jijiao's choice was undoubtedly wise. He would rather waste the last chance of this ancient relic than put himself in a more dangerous situation.

Watching Ji Jiao's figure gradually fade out of sight until it completely disappeared into the vast night, an imperceptible complex emotion flashed in the eyes of the Demon Soul King.

He slowly leaned over, his movements carrying an unquestionable majesty, and picked up the scattered jade pieces one by one, each piece seemed to carry some heavy memory or unfulfilled promise. The jade pieces glowed faintly in the moonlight, reflecting his deep and resolute face.

Then, the Demon Soul King moved, like a ghost in the night, and stepped silently into the mysterious sky formation. His steps were steady, and every step seemed to stir up ripples in the space, and finally stopped beside Ling Xiao.

He was a young and tenacious boy, who was concentrating with his eyes closed. Although his face was a little tired, his brows revealed an unyielding will. The Demon Soul King gently placed the jade token fragment in his hand next to Ling Xiao, with a subtle tenderness and care in his action.

"Boy, I have already done what you asked for." The Demon Soul King's voice was low and powerful, echoing in the empty sky formation, with a hint of unquestionable majesty.

"However, I want to remind you that my duty is to protect you, not to solve all your problems endlessly. In the future, please don't ask me to protect others on your behalf, and don't disturb my peace."

Although his tone was somewhat harsh, if one listened carefully, one could sense the helplessness and fatigue hidden in it.

After saying that, the Demon Soul King moved again, turned into a black light, and instantly disappeared into the magic needle space he carried with him. There, it was his private place to rest and recuperate, and it was also a safe haven for him to seek a moment of peace in the troubled world.

With his departure, the sky array returned to peace again, leaving only the night breeze blowing gently, bringing gusts of coolness.

After witnessing all this, Jin Yan and Ling Bi could not help but feel a surge of relief and gratitude for having survived the catastrophe. They smiled at each other, their eyes flashing with joy and determination after surviving the catastrophe. Afterwards, the two of them no longer hesitated, quickly sat cross-legged, and began to fully practice the exercises, regulating their breathing and healing their injuries.

They know that only by recovering their strength as quickly as possible can they better protect themselves and their loved ones in this crisis-ridden world.

About a quarter of an hour passed quietly. This might be just a short moment for ordinary people, but for Ling Xiao, it was like a baptism of the heart. He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with the restored clarity and determination.

His eyes naturally fell on the scattered fragments of the jade tablet on the ground. Those mottled marks recorded the vicissitudes of time and the glory of the past.
