Chapter 1462: I Can Help You Break Through

The Blazing Kylin Beast stopped.

“It’s simple,” he said. “I also detest the Zhang Clan members and don’t want to remain trapped and tortured. I can take you out of here, and together we can cause chaos, even destroy the Zhang Clan if you wish...”

Standing still, Zhang Xuan looked over calmly and smiled.

“Destroy the Zhang Clan? What is this guy up to?”Outside the cage, Zhang Wuchen and Elder Wuzhen’s hair stood on end, and they nearly fainted upon hearing this.This is unacceptable...It’s just beast taming; why involve the Zhang Clan?Although a Saint 9-dan Saint Beast is nothing to a powerful clan like the Zhang Clan and could be easily eradicated, if it truly went berserk and continuously unleashed flames, they would face a huge headache!The most crucial point was that they would completely lose face!

Their expressions turned grim, and they couldn’t help but turn to look at Zhang Jiang nearby, only to see that he too had turned pale with fright.

“Hmph, if this fellow is truly tamed and causes trouble in the Zhang Clan, you will be held solely responsible!” Zhang Wuchen huffed, flicking his sleeve.

“Yes...” Zhang Jiang quickly nodded and continued to look ahead.

“Cause trouble? Do you dare? This is the foremost clan on the continent. If you dare to cause trouble, you’ll probably be killed before you even begin!” The Blazing Kylin Beast spoke in human tongue.

It could cause a ruckus in smaller clans or less significant places with its power, but here... it was better to be quiet.Not to mention anyone else, the one who captured it could easily slay it with a single sword stroke, without even giving it time to release its flames.

“The Zhang Clan is indeed powerful, with countless experts, but as a Master Teacher Clan, they must adhere to rules! If they didn’t follow rules, they would have beaten you to within an inch of your life long ago, and you wouldn’t be lying here so peacefully, eating and drinking without a care, would you?” Zhang Xuan said.

“That’s true...” The Blazing Kylin Beast nodded.

Although it was furious with the Zhang Clan for imprisoning it, it had to admit that they hadn’t mistreated it. Otherwise, even without physical beatings, just withholding food and water for three years, or cutting off its spiritual energy absorption... it would have probably submitted by now!The reason they didn’t do so was because Master Teacher Clans adhere to rules; even when taming beasts, they seek willing submission, not coercion.Otherwise, if such a Saint Beast, used by the clan, were not willing, it could cause far greater harm if it went berserk and secretly killed some juniors when its master wasn’t present.

“I’ll take you out, help you beat up the one who bullied you, and even help you purify your bloodline to reach a higher realm...” Seeing that it was listening and hadn’t immediately attacked, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief and continued.

“Purify my bloodline? You?” The Blazing Kylin Beast snorted coldly, and a cloud of fire immediately rose from its body, carrying intense pressure.*Crack!*Zhang Xuan felt a stifling sensation in his chest, as if he would be instantly burned to ashes by the flames if he said anything wrong.

“Indeed. You don’t believe me?” Despite the danger, Zhang Xuan showed no signs of tension on his face; instead, he smiled faintly, “I can prove it to you right now!”

“Prove it?” The Blazing Kylin Beast frowned.

“Exactly! I only have a Domain Realm cultivation, so even if I wanted to cause trouble, I couldn’t. You can easily discern whether I’m speaking the truth or lies with just a glance! You’ve been trapped for so long; don’t you want to break through your cultivation and get revenge? Are you truly content to remain trapped here, becoming a Beast Tamer’s toy for honing their skills? Are you really willing to watch the Zhang Clan’s arrogant displays flaunt their power before you?”Looking at it again, Zhang Xuan’s voice was laced with temptation: “The opportunity is right before you now, and the path is yours to choose. If you genuinely don’t believe me, simply observing would still mean you have an extra glimmer of hope...”

“This...” The Blazing Kylin Beast was speechless, confusion visible in its eyes.

As it hesitated, Zhang Ziqing, who was outside, suddenly let out a shout.Her shout instantly drew everyone else’s attention; they all looked over in unison.

“Uh...”Seeing everyone’s gaze, Zhang Ziqing finally reacted, her face turning crimson. At the same time, she was inwardly horrified: “Demon Sound Master?”She had involuntarily urged the Kylin Beast to agree not because she believed Zhang Xuan, but because she had been irresistibly drawn in by his voice, falling into a state of confusion!That he could do this so easily meant that this guy was not just “slightly” knowledgeable about demon sound as he claimed; he was far more powerful than her!Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to confuse her, a demon sound genius skilled in musical rhythm, and make her blurt out like that.

She turned to look at others, only to find that no one else, not even those with lower cultivation than her, had been affected by the temptation. This deepened her shock.

Being proficient in demon sound, she knew that the opponent wasn’t intentionally targeting her, but rather that “the best swimmers often drown.” Her deep mastery of demon sound and musical rhythm made her more susceptible. Therefore, when someone stronger than her unexpectedly deployed demon sound, she would suffer the greatest impact.It was like playing music for a cow; no matter how beautiful the tune, if the cow didn’t understand, playing more was useless.The demon sound currently being used was entirely directed at the Kylin Beast, with little spillover. However, her innate sensitivity to musical tones made her fall victim, while others, not adept in this area, felt nothing.Still, this was only temporary; with time, it would be easy for everyone to be fully swayed.

“Hmph, to have such a profound understanding of demon sound, yet claim to only know a little... It seems his denial of chess skills was also a lie!”After the shock, Zhang Ziqing gritted her teeth.Among the four arts (music, chess, calligraphy, painting), she had already lost to him in calligraphy and painting. Now, her musical skills (demon sound) were also far inferior. It seemed this guy’s chess skills were probably not simple either.Once he finished taming the beast, she definitely had to seek his guidance!

“So, what do you say? It’s just one chance, with no harm to you. Instead, you’ll gain the opportunity to escape and achieve a breakthrough. Why wouldn’t you take it?”Ignoring Zhang Ziqing outside, Zhang Xuan continued.

Just as she had guessed, he was now employing not only demon sound but also the Master Teacher’s Impartation of Heavenly Will.With both abilities combined, along with his Celestial Master Teacher and Heart of a Master Teacher realms, the Blazing Kylin Beast, despite its strong will, began to waver.

“Alright, I’ll give you a chance!” After a brief pause, the Blazing Kylin Beast nodded.

It had been trapped for a long time, so if it could truly escape and even achieve a breakthrough, that would be ideal. Of course, if this guy in front of it was lying, it wouldn’t mind eating him on the spot!

“This is the correct choice!”With a light smile, Zhang Xuan flipped his wrist, and a jade bottle appeared. With a gentle shake, a pill fell into his palm: “This pill can purify your bloodline and allow a Saint Beast to break through. Just take it, and I guarantee you’ll break through in less than ten minutes...”

“Break through?” The Blazing Kylin Beast was stunned for a moment, then lowered its head to look at the spiritual pill in Zhang Xuan’s palm.

The pill was entirely golden, emitting an enticing medicinal fragrance, and pure spiritual energy swirled around it. From the outside, there was no sign of anything unusual.
