Since Muli was sincere with him, Lin Yun would naturally repay sincerity with sincerity.
“That’s how it is, Brother Beichen. I have a great opportunity in my hands, but this opportunity is not in the Beastman Clan, nor in the Ancestral Heart Realm. It is in the Human Clan. As a beastman, it is truly inconvenient for me to enter human territory, so I would like to ask for your help to go there on my behalf.” Muli spoke frankly.
By this point, Lin Yun already fully understood Muli’s intention.
“Of course that’s no problem, as long as you trust me.” Lin Yun agreed straight away.
Since it involved retrieving an opportunity, if Muli didWidth not trust him enough, he would have to consider what might happen if Lin Yun claimed the opportunity for himself.
“Haha, Brother Beichen, since I came to you, I naturally trust you. Back then, you risked such great danger to save my life. What reason would I have not to trust you?” Muli laughed heartily.
Muli smiled and continued, “Then next, I will explain the specific situation to you, Brother Beichen.”
“Good.” Lin Yun nodded in agreement.
“This is an opportunity left behind by an extremely powerful beastman expert in the history of the Beastman Clan. Of course, his legend dates back millions of years. When this beastman expert was alive, he unified the Beastman Clan and, under his leadership, the Beastman Clan once suppressed both the Human Clan and the Demon Clan so thoroughly that they could not lift their heads.” Muli said.
“Oh? He was that powerful?” Lin Yun exclaimed in amazement.
“His immense power was related to a certain treasure. This item is called the ‘Red Cloud Heart’. Only beastmen can fuse with it. Once integrated into the body, it can fully awaken the untapped potential of the Beastman Clan, thereby bringing about a powerful increase in strength!” Muli explained.
Muli continued, “Unfortunately, he only dominated for a few hundred thousand years. In the end, the Human Clan exerted their full strength to set a trap, luring him into human territory where they defeated him. He fell before he could escape back to the Beastman Clan, and the Red Cloud Heart was left behind in human territory.”
“Then who holds the Red Cloud Heart now?” Lin Yun quickly asked.
“Humans cannot fuse with the Red Cloud Heart, or they would explode and die, so the Human Clan has no interest in it. Moreover, back then the Human Clan did not find it, and its whereabouts have been unknown ever since.” Muli said.
Muli continued, “But now, through an opportunity of my own, I have learned the location of the Red Cloud Heart.”
Immediately after, Muli revealed an ancient compass.
“This compass can sense the location of the Red Cloud Heart. I have already tried using the compass to detect it, and it points within human territory. Brother Beichen, as long as you take this compass, you will be able to find the Red Cloud Heart.” Muli said.
“Since this compass can guide the way, finding the Red Cloud Heart should indeed not be difficult.” Lin Yun nodded.
“Brother Beichen, so I would like to trouble you to take this compass, help me find the Red Cloud Heart, and bring it back for me.”
After speaking, Muli directly handed the compass to Lin Yun.
“No problem, I will go and find it for you!” Lin Yun took the compass and accepted the task.
“Brother Beichen, there will definitely be some risks in this matter. After all, I currently cannot be sure whether the Red Cloud Heart is buried somewhere or has been taken and treasured by some force.” Muli said.
“Rest assured, I will investigate clearly.” Lin Yun nodded.
“Then I thank you in advance, Brother Beichen. If I can obtain this Red Cloud Heart, my strength will surely experience a massive leap, and at that time I will have the confidence to resolve the issues on my side.” Muli said.
Muli had previously mentioned that the situation on his side was currently not optimistic, and this Red Cloud Heart could help him increase his strength, thereby settling the troubles within the Beastman Clan.
Thus, the importance of this item to Muli was self-evident.
“Brother Muli, rest assured. I understand how important this item is to you. I will do my utmost to handle this matter for you.” Lin Yun replied.
“Brother Beichen, if you retrieve the Red Cloud Heart, I, Muli, will surely repay you with all my strength!” Muli declared firmly, thumping his chest with resounding thuds.
After finishing the conversation with Muli, Lin Yun took the compass and left the inn, then set off on his journey to search.
…
After leaving Heart City, Lin Yun followed the direction indicated by the compass and headed straight towards human territory.
One month later.
Clear Wind Domain.
“The final location indicated by the compass is here in the Clear Wind Domain.” Lin Yun held the compass and gazed ahead.
