Wang Changsheng nodded. So far, he had more than a hundred Dao materials in his possession.

Wang Qingcheng walked in and said, "Father, Senior Peng is hosting a gathering and has invited you and Mother to attend. I heard that other Dao Venerables will be there as well."
"What time?"
Wang Changsheng asked.
"Tonight, during the hour of the Rooster. The venue is Jade Dragon Garden."
Wang Qingcheng said.
"Got it. We'll be there on time."
Wang Changsheng said. He took out the Blue Small Mirror and struck it with a Hand Seal.
Wang Chuanming's face appeared on the mirror's surface.
Wang Chuanming led members of the clan's Shadow Hall in activities throughout the Sky Moon Immortal Domain, gathering information and intelligence for Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan to reference.
"Chuan Ming, have you gathered any intelligence of major value? For example, information about the Great Dao Source?"
Wang Changsheng asked.
"Nothing so far, Old Ancestor."
Wang Chuanming said.
"How much do you know about the Heavenly Bat Dao Lord? Gather information on him, as well as intelligence concerning the Dao Venerables who were murdered."
Wang Changsheng instructed.
"Yes, Old Ancestor."
Wang Chuanming agreed.
Wang Changsheng gave him a few more instructions before putting away the Blue Small Mirror.

Li Xin said.
"They're probably worried that this is a trap. After all, our ties with them aren't deep, so it was only natural for them to be on guard."
The Gold-skirted Woman
