"The value of intelligence varies from person to person. Information worth a king's ransom to one person may be worth nothing to another. It is only natural that you would want to inspect it, young friend."
Duan Huo spoke with a genial smile, glanced at the storage ring in Song Wen's hand, then took out another jade slip and handed it to him.
"This is an excerpt from the intelligence. Feel free to inspect it."
"Thank you for your understanding, Senior."
Only after expressing his thanks did Song Wen accept the jade slip. He extended his spiritual sense into it and discovered that it described the first clash between "Gou Jun" and Gu Huang.
It did not record the details, however. It merely mentioned that "Gou Jun," who had only been at the peak of Void Refinement at the time, had severed one of Gu Huang's hands and one of his arms before making a clean getaway without so much as a scratch.
"Senior Duan, surely this intelligence isn't fabricated? How could a Void Refinement cultivator grievously wound an Integrated Body Realm cultivator? Especially when Gu Huang is a renowned sword cultivator of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion!" Doubt showed in Song Wen's eyes.
"That is precisely what makes Gou Jun so formidable, and what makes this intelligence valuable. If you want to know how he did it, you will have to pay spirit stones. This intelligence contains detailed accounts of all three battles between Gu Huang and Gou Jun."
Duan Huo paused, his smile taking on a deliberately mysterious air, then continued.
"In addition, I will reveal one more thing to you. The reason Gou Jun could stand against Gu Huang while still at Void Refinement is that he harbors an enormous secret. This intelligence is unquestionably worth more
