Although Leng Shiqi was now everyone's leader, there weren't many who truly believed in him.
Especially those who were roped in by Dongfang Qi and Di Chuan. They definitely wouldn't listen to Leng Shiqi in secret.
However, Leng Shiqi didn't care about this. The reason why he chose to fight for this position was to make it easier for him to do things.
He couldn't be bothered to fight for power in this small group.
At this moment, Delta Aurigae said leisurely, "Brother Liu's strength is truly shocking. But what do you plan to do next?"
Leng Shiqi pondered for a moment, "Our target is Extreme Fire Manor. Before doing anything, we need to gather some information."
Delta Aurigae revealed a thoughtful expression, "If we were to talk about the sects in Donglin County, it would be Donglin County's Dark Thunder Guards. Unfortunately, they aren't in our group."
Leng Shiqi shook his head, "If we find Donglin County's Dark Thunder Guards, even if they're willing to give us information, we can't take it. This is equivalent to breaking the rules!
Don't forget, there's another force that has gathered a large amount of information on spirit cultivator sects. They even gathered information on the entire Falling Star Continent! "
Hearing this, some people reacted. Dongfang Qi clapped his hands, "Brother Liu is talking about Wind Whisper Tower!"
"That's right!"
Wind Whisper Tower was a very special force that was ranked in the world's sect rankings.
The reason why Wind Whisper Tower was special was because those that could be ranked in the world's sect rankings were all extremely powerful forces. They were all called top forces or extraordinary forces!
However, there weren't many experts in Wind Whisper Tower. They didn't even have a Sky Origin Realm expert!
However, such a force could enter the world's sect rankings and be ranked as one of the nine great sects. It was precisely because Wind Whisper Tower had an unimaginably huge information network!
Speaking of information, the Dark Thunder Guards and Blood Robe Pavilion in the Thunderblaze Dynasty actually had an extremely tight information network.
However, the Dark Thunder Guards' information was mainly focused on spirit cultivator sects and imperial officials, while the Blood Robe Pavilion focused more on assassination targets.
Moreover, the coverage of these two forces' information network was basically limited to the Thunderblaze Dynasty.
As for Wind Whisper Tower, they had collected all kinds of information from the entire Starfall Continent. As long as something happened in a certain place, there was almost nothing that Wind Whisper Tower did not know.
Wind Whisper Tower's ability to gather information was publicly acknowledged to be the best in the Starfall Continent. They were able to enter the World Sect Ranking because the World Sect Ranking was created by them.
Wind Whispers Tower also had branches all over the continent, and they specialized in selling and collecting information.
There was also a branch of Whistling Tower in Donglin County, and it was set up in Donglin City!
"There's no time to lose. Let's split into two groups. You guys pack your things first and gather at the western gate. I'll go to Wind Whisper Tower to buy information and gather at the city gate."
Leng Shiqi said. He didn't sound like he was giving an order, but a few people in the crowd frowned.
Di Chuan, in particular, let out a light snort before turning around and walking away.
Leng Shiqi did not care about him. He gave Delta Aurigae a look, asking her to help keep an eye on Di Chuan and Dongfang Qi while he prepared to go to Wind Whisper Tower.
However, at this time, the people from the City Lord's Mansion hurried over. One of them, who was dressed like a butler, said with a smile, "I wonder which lord is generous enough to pay for these floor tiles to be repaired."
Di Chuan's figure, which had not gone far, suddenly paused.
— — —
At this time, two people were sitting in a private room of Wind Whisper Tower in Donglin City. Leng Shiqi was one of them.
As for the other person, he was a thin middle-aged man in shabby clothes. He was the supervisor of the Dark Thunder Guards in Donglin County, Wu Deyao.
Wu Deyao had the cultivation of the peak of the Spirit Aperture Realm. He was close to the Complete Realm of the Spirit Aperture Realm, which was one level higher than Di Chuan.
He was the leader of the group that accepted the mission to destroy the Salt Clan. He was very well respected by the others with his high cultivation and deep understanding of Donglin County.
Leng Shiqi could think of buying information from Wind Whisper Tower, so could Wu Deyao. So they met here unexpectedly.
In fact, it was not only them. After them, there was another young man with an imposing appearance. He was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a golden crown on his head.
When he walked in and saw Leng Shiqi and Wu Deyao, he immediately cupped his hands and smiled, "Zhuge Puhe greets the two of you. You two came quite early."
Zhuge Puhe, the commissioner of the Discipline Commission of Shantai County, was said to have broken through to the Spirit Pulse Realm in his early twenties. Now, he was only in his thirties and was already at the ninth level of the Spirit Aperture Realm.
He was known as one of the most dazzling geniuses in Shantai County.
He was the leader of the elite group that destroyed the Great Righteousness Sect.
Zhuge Puhe had guessed who the leaders of the other two groups would be. He guessed Wu Deyao, but Leng Shiqi's appearance here was completely out of his expectations!
Originally, Zhuge Puhe thought it would be Di Chuan.
The three of them greeted each other, and an old man with a long beard walked in with a servant.
This person was the shopkeeper of Wind Whisper Tower in Donglin City, Shopkeeper Jing.
After Leng Shiqi and Wu Deyao came here to explain their intentions, he went to prepare the information. He must have brought it back by now.
What surprised Leng Shiqi was that he saw three jade slips on the wooden tray that the servant was carrying!
Shopkeeper Jing took the wooden tray and said, "I already know why the three of you are here. These three pieces of information are what you want, but …"
He did not finish his sentence, but Leng Shiqi and the others understood what he meant. Zhuge Puhe said with a smile, "I cannot take Wind Whisper Tower's things for free. Please give me a price."
Shopkeeper Jing raised a finger and said four words, "Ten thousand spirit stones."
Zhuge Puhe's smile immediately froze, and Wu Deyao frowned deeply.
Ten thousand spirit stones, this was the entire fortune of an ordinary Spirit Aperture Realm cultivator.
It was not that they could not afford it, but after spending ten thousand spirit stones, they could not make ends meet!
They really did not expect the information to be so expensive. It was a bit painful to pay for it, but they could not let the others share it equally. That would be too stingy, and how could they convince the others?
As for Leng Shiqi, he was calmer. Although he was surprised by the high price of the information, since Wind Whisper Tower paid such a price, it must be worth it.
Moreover, Wind Whisper Tower should know their identities, so they would not dare to ask for too much.
Of course, the most important thing was that Leng Shiqi brought more than thirty thousand spirit stones with him before coming to Donglin County!
Therefore, he could be considered rich and overbearing. He was the first to nod and say, "Deal."
Leng Shiqi took out ten thousand spirit stones without hesitation. Zhuge Puhe and Wu Deyao could only grit their teeth and buy the information.
