The moment those words were spoken, Qi Shixin paused. A force specializing in intelligence?
Logically speaking, since Bai Yu had obtained Qi Yan's token, he could have sought help from the Myriad Treasures Sect for intelligence. If even the Myriad Treasures Sect did not know something, then the Gale Tribe likely would not be able to uncover it either.
This was the Myriad Treasures Sect's unique confidence. After all, who in Upperstream did not know that the Myriad Treasures Sect was the sect with the strongest commercial foundation? Its outposts, auction houses, and shops were spread throughout all of Upperstream, and gathering intelligence was as easy as taking something from one's pocket.
Though he thought this, Qi Shixin did not ask further. Since Bai Yu had a need, given the weight of the token, all he needed to do was answer the other party's questions.
"There naturally are forces that specialize in intelligence. Of the Gale Tribe's eight subordinate powers, Windwhisper Hall is the intelligence department here, as well as one of City Lord Huyan Xiu's powerful trump cards."
"But if you wish to obtain their help, either Huyan Xiu must agree, or you must pay extra to purchase it. Not only is the price astronomical, they will also by default have the right to know what you ask about and the right to sell that information to others."
"So if you intend to purchase intelligence from Windwhisper Hall, I do not think that would be a good thing."
Qi Shixin shook his head. The Northern Frontier was different from other places. The law of the jungle was the norm here; even the most basic rules observed elsewhere did not need to be followed in many cases.
That was also why the Myriad Treasures Sect had developed so slowly here.
