The Clear Wind Domain is not far from the Ancestral Heart Realm. There is only one domain between them.
According to what Lin Yun knew, the strongest forces in the Clear Wind Domain were the Blood Moon Alliance and the White Mist Tower.
Lin Yun was currently unsure whether the Red Cloud Heart was in the hands of any human forces. If the Red Cloud Heart was held by either of these two forces, the difficulty for Lin Yun to obtain it would be considerably greater.
“Never mind. I will go and find out first.”
Lin Yun turned into an afterimage and continued speeding forward.
After another two days of high-speed travel, Lin Yun finally arrived in front of a small village.
“It is just over there.”
Lin Yun held the compass and looked towards the small village ahead.
The compass pointed to a small ravine behind the village.
This actually relieved Lin Yun, because now he could be certain that the Red Cloud Heart was not in the hands of the Blood Moon Alliance or the White Mist Tower. Thus, the difficulty of obtaining it would be much lower.
With the compass in hand, finding this place had been quite easy for Lin Yun.
Of course, if Muli had come personally to search, the risks would have been entirely different.
For him to enter human territory in search would be akin to Lin Yun venturing alone into the Elf Clan or Beastman Clan. The danger would be imaginable.
There was a good chance Muli would be targeted the moment he entered.
After all, as far as Lin Yun knew, the Dao Alliance had stationed personnel at the human borders, including the border between the Human Clan and the Ancestral Heart Realm, specifically to prevent foreign races from entering.
If Muli broke into human territory, it would be impossible for him not to be discovered. He might very well go in and never return.
Thinking of this, Lin Yun could not help but reflect that the Dao Alliance truly seemed to have contributed a great deal to the Human Clan. Even now, Lin Yun did not understand why Lord Jin of Destruction had warned him so strongly.
Immediately after, Lin Yun rushed straight into the small ravine, then walked through it while holding the compass, using it to determine the most precise location.
Soon, Lin Yun stopped.
“The direction it points to is right here.” Lin Yun held the compass and quickly located a small cave.
Lin Yun directly entered the cave.
After walking a short distance inside, his path forward was blocked by a large stone.
If an ordinary person arrived here, they would think this was just a normal small cave with no way ahead.
But Lin Yun had the compass for guidance, so he knew it was definitely not the case.
At that moment, the compass in Lin Yun’s hand began to tremble, and the large stone ahead rose up, revealing a hidden passage.
Lin Yun quickly slipped into the hidden passage.
After proceeding some distance along it, the compass suddenly pointed to the left.
Seeing this, Lin Yun immediately stopped and looked to the left.
Yet the left side was just an ordinary stone wall. This hidden passage only had one path forward.
Just as Lin Yun was puzzled and wondering, the compass in his hand once again emitted light, and the stone wall on the left slowly opened, revealing another hidden passage.
“So there was another hidden passage here. It is quite well concealed.” Lin Yun smiled and remarked.
After speaking, Lin Yun entered this new passage and continued forward along it.
This time, the compass consistently pointed ahead.
More than ten minutes later, Lin Yun reached the end of the passage.
“That is a demon beast sculpture?” Lin Yun appeared very surprised.
In the current ancestral land, it was rare to see demon beasts.
“No, there seems to be an aura. It is alive!”
Lin Yun was startled.
At that instant, the demon beast ahead, which resembled a large gorilla, suddenly opened its eyes.
In the next moment, the demon beast abruptly stood up, charged at Lin Yun, and threw a punch towards him.
The power contained in this punch was at most the level of a Dao Manifestation Realm cultivator, so Lin Yun did not dodge at all.
Boom!
The demon beast’s fist landed solidly on Lin Yun.
Lin Yun only retreated half a step, completely unharmed.
“Your strength is far from enough to injure me. Tell me, who are you? Why are you here?” Lin Yun looked at the demon beast.
“This place is guarded by me. It is not your turn to ask questions. This place does not belong to you humans. Get out!” the demon beast roared at Lin Yun.
Lin Yun did not get angry. Instead, he pondered. It said it was guarding this place. Could it have been left here by that beastman expert?
“I have come for the Red Cloud Heart.” Lin Yun stated his purpose.
“The Red Cloud Heart does not belong to your human race. To finally reach the Red Cloud Heart, you must be guided by me, and I will not guide humans. These were my master’s dying words. Even if your strength surpasses mine, even if you kill me, I will not show the way. If you kill me, you still will not obtain it.” The demon beast spoke with firm resolve.
