Chapter 1464: Submit to Me

"You..."

Zhang Xuan, who had just withdrawn his longsword, happened to witness this scene and was involuntarily stunned.

"Thank you for your medicine. I know your purpose. You claim to want to help me get revenge, but in reality, aren't you trying to make me submit to you? Let me tell you honestly, that's impossible!" The Qilin beast activated the Qilin fire within its body, refining the pill. It looked over at Zhang Xuan and smiled faintly, "My Qilin beast tribe is incredibly proud. How could I possibly submit to an ordinary human?"

The other party used all sorts of clever words, but wasn't it still trying to make it submit? It didn't even obey the Zhang Clan's patriarch; how could it submit to a mere Domain realm brat? What a joke!

The reason it had dallied with the other party for so long was simply that it had been trapped for a long time, with no one to talk to, and felt a bit lonely. Who would have thought this fellow would bring such an unexpected gain? It had carefully observed that Hell-Blue Dragon Beast earlier. Although it had already reached the peak of Saint 8-dan, that tiny difference made breaking through incredibly difficult. Yet, after consuming this pill, it succeeded immediately... Therefore, it could be confirmed that even if the other medicines in the jade bottle weren't as potent for it, they certainly wouldn't be weak! Breaking through a minor level shouldn't be a problem!

"My medicine..."

Ignoring its confident words, Zhang Xuan looked over, his face filled with urgency.

"I swallowed it. If you want it back, there's no way..." The Flame Qilin beast grinned, raising an eyelid. "Who told you to show off in front of me? I'm not a master teacher who adheres to your rules. What I snatch is mine..."

"That's not what I meant..." Zhang Xuan shook his head.

"I don't care what you mean... Since I've eaten your medicine, I won't eat you. Get out immediately, or if you talk any more nonsense, I won't be so polite..." The Flame Qilin beast waved a hoof, flicked its thick tail, and slowly walked back towards where it had been sleeping.

"I..." Not caring if the other party was turning hostile, Zhang Xuan hastily looked over: "What I meant wasn't that you stole my medicine... It's that I only have one dose of medicine that can help a Saint beast break through..."

"One dose?" The Qilin beast turned its head, a little confused: "Then... what are the other medicines in your jade bottle?"

"Those are... poison!" Zhang Xuan said urgently.

"Poison?" The Qilin beast froze, then grinned: "If you don't want to give it to me, you don't have to talk such nonsense. Do you think I'll spit it out if you call it poison? To be honest, I've already refined all those medicines..." It thought the other party was simply reluctant to part with the medicine, but it never expected such a ridiculous claim. Before eating, it had specifically checked with its divine sense; it was identical to the pill it had seen before, with no difference whatsoever. If it were truly poison, Zhang Xuan's beast pet wouldn't have broken through; it would probably be dead by now! Furthermore, it had never heard of anyone putting cultivation-enhancing medicine and poison in the same bottle. He can't even lie properly!

"Refined? It's over..." As it finished speaking, it saw the young man opposite him turn pale, looking utterly distraught.

"Get lost. I won't kill you..." Too lazy to waste more time with the other party, the Qilin beast snorted. Just as it was about to turn around, its body suddenly stiffened, and a sharp pain surged from within. *Crack! Crack!*

Its heart seemed to be tearing apart, as if a special energy flow had penetrated its most delicate blood vessels, devouring its nerves, threatening to kill it alive. Its eyes wide with alarm, the Qilin beast panicked. The Qilin fire could incinerate all things; ordinary poisons would be burned to ashes before even entering its body. How could it be in such terrible pain when its body was fine just moments ago?

*Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!* As it wondered, it felt the pain inside its body intensify, spreading like a flood. *Thump!* It collapsed to the ground, unable to stand.

"It's the medicine I just ate..." Its pupils constricted, and the Qilin beast immediately understood the source of the pain. Its teeth chattered uncontrollably, and its body shook violently. Although it didn't know why it hurt, the origin of the pain was easy to discern: it was precisely those medicines it had just consumed. These pills had melted within its body, transforming into unique energy flows that penetrated its most delicate parts, corroding it like potent poison, capable of killing it at any moment.

"You... poisoned me!" Turning its head in fury, the Qilin beast glared at the young man not far away, its eyes blazing with rage. By now, it fully understood what had happened. The other party must have intentionally dropped the jade bottle on the ground, luring it to steal... This way, it didn't harm the master teacher's dignity, yet it still made the Qilin beast fall into the trap. Most importantly, it wasn't a direct poisoning or coercion, which prevented it from feeling outright resentment... Indeed, when a master teacher became shameless, they were more terrifying than any other profession!

"You were the one who secretly ate it. I also said earlier that it was poison..." Zhang Xuan spread his hands, looking helpless.

"You..." Trembling with rage, the Qilin beast was speechless. The other party was right; he had merely placed the bottle near him. It was the Qilin beast that had secretly eaten it, and it was also its own disbelief in Zhang Xuan's words, not thinking it was poison... Zhang Xuan's conduct was utterly blameless, yet the Qilin beast itself had been poisoned and could die at any moment...

"Give me the antidote quickly..." Its teeth chattering, the Qilin beast glared viciously. Since the other party possessed such medicines, he surely had an antidote.

"I don't have an antidote, but I know a way to alleviate it... As long as you submit to me, I can help you!" With a troubled expression, Zhang Xuan said.

"Submit? You're dreaming..." Having been tricked into eating poison, and now being asked to submit, the Qilin beast nearly exploded. With a roar, intense murderous intent flashed in its eyes: "Even if I die, I'll take you with me..." *Boom!*

It suddenly leaped up, its hooves striking down through the air. The entire cage was immediately engulfed in flames, and an immense force tore a dark rift in space, spreading rapidly towards Zhang Xuan. *Thump!* Before it could even reach him, it fell from the air, lying on the ground, convulsing non-stop and foaming at the mouth. The poison was simply too potent; it couldn't withstand it at all.

"Submit, or you will die..." Zhang Xuan looked over.

"You want a dignified Saint beast of Qilin bloodline like me to submit? Dream on..." The Qilin beast gritted its teeth. The Qilin tribe were ancient Saint beasts. Although its bloodline wasn't perfectly pure, submission was absolutely out of the question! It would rather die than do it! Otherwise, the Zhang Clan wouldn't have been unable to do anything for three years while trying to capture it.

"Then there's nothing I can do..." Zhang Xuan shook his head. Just as he was about to continue persuading, he suddenly felt a tremendous oppressive force descend from above, making it difficult even to breathe. He quickly looked up, only to see the sky filled with dark clouds, and countless bolts of thunder, tearing through the air, slowly gathering.

"This is... a Spatial Tribulation for Saint 9-dan?" His pupils constricted.
