“I am here on behalf of a beastman expert to retrieve it. This compass was given to me by him. This is human territory, and beastmen cannot easily set foot in human lands. You should be aware of that.” Lin Yun took out the compass and showed it to him.
Lin Yun continued, “Moreover, you must have been staying here for a very long time, right? Do you not want to leave? As long as I obtain the Red Cloud Heart, you will also be able to leave and regain your freedom.”
Who does not yearn for freedom? Especially for a being that has been deprived of it for far too long, freedom is priceless. Lin Yun was trying to exploit this weakness.
Yet to Lin Yun’s surprise, it showed no sign of longing.
The demon beast said, “Even if you are retrieving it on behalf of a beastman expert, it will not do. He must come in person. This can be considered one of my master’s tests. If he lacks the ability to come here personally and take it, then he has no qualification to possess the Red Cloud Heart.”
“No room for discussion?” Lin Yun asked.
“There is no room for discussion on this matter. You either leave, or kill me.” The demon beast spoke with firm resolve.
Although Lin Yun’s strength could easily kill it, Lin Yun certainly could not do so, otherwise he might never obtain the Red Cloud Heart.
“Very well, then I will go back and discuss it with him.” Lin Yun said.
After speaking, Lin Yun turned and left, retracing his steps.
After emerging from the cave, Lin Yun used branches to conceal the entrance before flying away.
In the air.
“It seems I have no choice but to discuss it with Brother Muli. I need to find a way to bring him here.” Lin Yun murmured to himself.
Fortunately, he had already scouted the situation this time. As long as Muli came, it would be fine.
Thus, Lin Yun burst into full speed and headed straight for the Ancestral Heart Realm at the fastest pace.
…
Heart City, an inn on South Street.
Muli stayed in his guest room, waiting day after day.
“Calculating the time, Brother Beichen should be back soon, right?” Muli murmured to himself.
No sooner had he spoken than the door was pushed open.
Muli looked up and saw Lin Yun walking in from outside the room.
“Brother Beichen, how did it go? Was it smooth? Did you get the item?” Muli immediately stood up and asked, extremely concerned.
Muli’s greatest worry was that the Red Cloud Heart might be in the hands of some major force. If that were the case, even if Lin Yun went to retrieve it, he could not possibly obtain it.
“I have not obtained the item yet.” Lin Yun shook his head.
Upon hearing this, Muli’s expression instantly froze, and his heart sank.
“Brother Muli, do not worry yet. Listen to me first.”
Lin Yun immediately explained the situation to Muli.
Only after hearing Lin Yun’s account did Muli understand.
“It actually requires me to go in person.” Muli scratched his head.
“As long as the Red Cloud Heart is not in the hands of some major human force, that is fortunate enough. The current situation, although still somewhat troublesome, at least means there is a possibility of obtaining it.” Lin Yun comforted him.
“Yes, this outcome is indeed better than the Red Cloud Heart falling into the hands of a major human force. It is just that if I go to human territory, it remains a very troublesome and dangerous matter.” Muli sighed.
“Brother Muli, you need not worry about that. I have already thought of a solution for you.” Lin Yun said with a smile.
Immediately after, Lin Yun flipped his hand and revealed a gourd.
“This Longevity Gourd contains its own small space inside. Before coming to the inn, I specially went to the Myriad Treasures Workshop to buy it. As long as you enter here, I can carry you and quietly enter human territory.” Lin Yun said with a smile.
“That is indeed a method. However, Brother Beichen, as far as I know, your human race has regulations. Smuggling lives of other races and unauthorised entry into human territory is a serious crime, especially bringing in members of the Elf Clan, Beastman Clan, or Demon Clan. Once the Dao Alliance learns of it, they will put you on their blacklist and hunt you down. If this action is discovered, you will offend the Dao Alliance.” Muli said.
“They will not discover it so easily. Moreover, since I promised to handle this matter for you, I will naturally bear the corresponding risks and consequences.” Lin Yun said.
“Brother Beichen, truly righteous!” Muli gave a thumbs up, a smile appearing on his face.
“However, Brother Muli, if you come with me, you will also need to place absolute trust in me.” Lin Yun said.
After all, being brought into human territory by Lin Yun was an extremely risky matter for Muli. It was literally playing with his life.
If Lin Yun were to hand him over to the human Dao Alliance after bringing him in, he could gain benefits from the Dao Alliance, and Muli would be finished.
