Chapter 13022: Despised by the Monster

"However, war is ruthless, and most of them eventually fell, leaving only desolation and sadness. Today, it is rare to encounter this surviving one here. It is God's will. Very good, very good!"

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

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

After completing all this, the Demon Soul King slowly turned around and looked at Ling Xiao with a deep gaze. There was both the intention of supporting the younger generation in his eyes and a hint of majesty that was not easy to detect.

"This beast is under my control. You can make good use of it and let it work for you. But remember, you must 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 appeared on the face of the Demon Soul King, which showed 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 into the surrounding darkness silently 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 attracted by magnetism, tightly locking on the Demon Soul Beast, and an indescribable shock and curiosity surged in his heart.

This giant beast, like a creature from an ancient legend, is similar in form to a chimpanzee, but is much larger and more ferocious than a chimpanzee. It is majestic, almost four or five meters tall, and exudes a sense of oppression that cannot be ignored. It is obvious that its strength is far superior to that of a Tongtian Realm warrior, which makes people feel awe involuntarily.

In Ling Xiao's eyes, this is not only a visual shock, but also a deep understanding of his own insignificance and powerlessness.

If it were not for the appearance and help of the Demon Soul King, he knew that he would not have even a trace of resistance in front of such a behemoth. This recognition made Ling Xiao's gratitude to the Demon Soul King even deeper.

He tried to calm the waves in his heart, took a few steps forward slowly, and tried to make his voice sound peaceful and sincere:

"Brother Hei, hello, I am Ling Xiao. In this martial arts world, I always have the greatest respect and respect for the strong. Although you are a demon beast, you are extraordinary and admirable. I hope to coexist peacefully with you, and perhaps in the future we can support each other and venture into this vast martial arts world together."

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

The demon soul beast did not seem to respond immediately to Ling Xiao's words. Two white mists were seen spraying out of its nostrils, and the mist rose in the air with a bit of disdain and arrogance.

However, it did not leave or show hostility to Ling Xiao, but remained in that posture, sitting there quietly, with some emotions flowing in its deep eyes, as if it was really listening to Ling Xiao's next words, and seemed to be 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 face some urgent matters soon and need to leave this place temporarily. During this period, can you please take care of my mother and aunt? Their safety is of vital importance to me."

Ling Xiao spoke again, his tone full of sincerity and expectation. He knew that the road he was about to embark on was full of unknowns and dangers. Only by entrusting his relatives to a trustworthy force could he feel a little relieved.

However, in the face of Ling Xiao's request, the demon soul beast still held its head high, and its deep eyes flashed with disdain and arrogance, as if it sneered at Ling Xiao's proposal.

This scene made Ling Xiao laugh and cry. He didn't expect that he would be "despised" by a demon beast in this way. He felt helpless and self-mocking.

At this moment, the Demon Soul Beast suddenly let out a low and sad wail, which 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 in Ling Xiao's ears: "Don't be too arrogant, evil beast. This kid is the hope of our Demon Sect's future. I still have to give him some face. How can you be so rude? Show some respect to you, you are still excited!"

Hearing the scolding of the Demon Soul King, the Demon Soul Beast's body trembled slightly, and the arrogance in its eyes instantly dissipated a lot. It seemed to understand its situation and felt the importance of the Demon Soul King to Ling Xiao. So, it finally lowered its head. Although it didn't 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 whispered: "Mother, aunt, you can rest assured to heal here. Those who dared to invade us are no longer a threat. I promise you that this time I will not only completely eliminate the threat of the Jiang family, but also find those rare holy medicines for Ah Li to help her recover soon."

Jiang Xiruo frowned when she heard 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."
