Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations After the two of them bowed, Dark Wolf reported the current situation at the Valor Divine Marquis' residence. The major factions that had come to congratulate them were almost done with their registration. Many of the major factions and families in the Imperial Capital were among them. In addition, Dark Wolf had also found many servants and clever maids within half a day and quickly put them to work within the Valor Divine Marquis' residence. Although everything was rushed, it was still orderly.
The people from the Wolf Fang Escort Agency were also temporarily acting as the guards of the Valor Divine Marquis' residence.
Du Shaofu praised the Dark Wolf for arranging everything in just half a day. Ou Yangshuang had not misjudged him. This fiendish Dark Wolf had a fiendish appearance, but his thoughts were meticulous. He was extraordinarily meticulous despite his rough appearance.
"Sir, we have received many congratulatory gifts today. They are quite valuable. I have categorized them and placed them in this storage bag, together with the registration book. Please take a look, Sir." Dark Wolf respectfully handed a Qiankun bag to Du Shaofu.
"Divide everything equally among the brothers of the escort agency. Also, help me say that they have worked hard today."
Du Shaofu didn't even look at the storage pouch. Although he knew that the gifts from the various large factions wouldn't be too shabby, there definitely wouldn't be any real treasures. Real treasures wouldn't be given out so casually. If they were to give it out, they would give it out personally.
"Sir, the gifts are quite valuable. Do you want to take a look again?"
Dark Wolf's gaze moved slightly. After being stunned for a moment, he continued to ask Du Shaofu. There were definitely many congratulatory gifts today. With so many gifts from various factions, the value would definitely be shocking.
Du Shaofu waved his hand and said, "No need. If there are too many, you can leave some for the residence's future expenses. You can deal with it yourself, but don't forget about the brothers of the escort agency. The two of you shouldn't make things difficult for yourselves."
"I thank Sir on behalf of the brothers of the escort agency."
Dark Wolf was overjoyed. To be honest, although they weren't weak, they had been hunted down by their enemies for the past year, and the business of the escort agency had gone through many twists and turns. Originally, there were two thousand people in the agency, but now, some had betrayed them, some had left them, and most of them had joined other agencies.
There were only about a hundred of them left. Although they each had their own strength, it was easy for them to live a good life in a small place.
However, because of the unwillingness in his heart, and also because of some things, he persisted. Thus, for so long, his life had been extremely difficult.
Now that they had received the congratulatory gifts from the various major powers, it was definitely a shocking amount of replenishment for them.
Although cultivators were capable of not eating or drinking for a long period of time, the consumption of cultivation resources was a world of difference compared to the consumption of food and drink by ordinary people. If they were unable to find any business to do in the near future, they would truly be unable to continue.
Although it was tiring to act as guards today, Dark Wolf and many of his brothers from the escort agency felt relieved. They had begged many merchants to do business with them in the Imperial Capital, but they were treated with disdain.
Although their cultivations weren't weak, and they were considered experts in the entire Imperial Capital, there were many Marquises in the Imperial Capital. How could they not have some background if they were able to open a business in the Imperial Capital? Naturally, there was no need for them to give face to the current Wolf Fang Escort Agency.
But today, outside of the Valor Divine Marquis' Residence, they saw many people from the major powers and families that they had lowered themselves to beg. After being dumbfounded in front of them, they immediately turned around and fawned over them. Although they didn't deliberately make things difficult for them, they did vent their anger a lot, and they felt relieved.
"This is what I should do. There's no need to thank me."
Du Shaofu smiled, then continued to speak to Dark Wolf, "Remember to go to the Imperial Palace tomorrow and ask for money. According to the rules, we can receive the salary of a hundred guards and quite a few servants. I don't know how much, but I'll share it with everyone."
"Our residence …"
Dark Wolf muttered softly as he looked at the purple-robed young man. There was some fluctuation in his eyes, then he turned around and left.
Outside the hall, Phantom was dressed in tights and had a short sword hanging on her waist. When she walked, the accessories on the short sword jingled. She said softly to Dark Wolf, "Although he's young, I believe in you. Perhaps it's an opportunity for the Wolf Fang Escort Agency to follow him."
"Thank you. If you didn't support me, I'm afraid that all of our brothers wouldn't have followed," Dark Wolf said to Phantom.
"As long as we can protect the Wolf Fang Escort Agency and avenge our Boss in the future, I'm willing to try," Phantom said.
"I believe in my own choice," Dark Wolf said softly, his eyes filled with determination …
"I didn't expect you to be so good at winning people's hearts. If they follow you wholeheartedly, they can be considered as your foundation in the Imperial Capital."
Ouyang Shuang said to Du Shaofu after Dark Wolf and Phantom walked out of the hall.
Du Shaofu smiled faintly and said, "If they follow me wholeheartedly, I won't mistreat them."
Ouyang Shuang didn't say anything. After pausing for a moment, she said, "Among the Eight Great Palaces, only Du Palace and Xie Palace didn't send anyone today."
"Du Palace naturally wouldn't send anyone. If Xie Palace sent someone, it would make us seem estranged."
Du Shaofu smiled faintly. The Du Household probably wished for him to disappear right now, so why would they come to the Divine Valor Marquis's Mansion? And with his current relationship with the Xie Household, if they came to join in the fun today, it would instead seem estranged.
At night, the sky was inky blue, and there was a patch of jade in the sky. Twinkling stars hung in the sky.
Du Shaofu sat cross-legged on the bed. After instructing Little Tiger to protect him, he started to comprehend the 'Holy Body Technique'.
After a while, Du Shaofu's body was enveloped by an ancient white light. He gradually immersed himself in the comprehension.
The next day, there was still a long queue outside the Valor Divine Marquis' Residence. There was an endless stream of people who came to visit and give gifts.
However, with Dark Wolf and Phantom making arrangements, everything in and out of the Valor Divine Marquis' Residence was in order. The situation was much better than yesterday. Everything was gradually going on the right track.
These days, Du Shaofu's name was often discussed in the streets and alleys of the Imperial Capital. However, as the date of the Kingdom War drew closer, the matter of the Kingdom War gradually heated up.
"I heard that the Tianhu Empire actually bet ten Palaces with our Stone Dragon Empire. They are really bold. Our Stone Dragon Empire has the talent from the Du Family and the other Great Palaces. I'm afraid they will lose for sure!" Someone had absolute confidence in the Stone Dragon Empire.
"I'm afraid it's not optimistic. The Tianhu Empire is not weak. Rumor has it that they are even stronger than our Stone Dragon Empire. They must have extraordinary talents in their younger generation. Otherwise, they wouldn't have agreed to compete with our Stone Dragon Empire's younger generation." There were also people who were worried. The Stone Dragon Empire had young experts, but so did the Tianhu Empire.
"I'm afraid that the Tianhu Empire's ten Palaces is just the beginning. Their true goal is to conquer the entire Stone Dragon Empire." Someone was worried about the Tianhu Empire's true goal.
"How dare the Tianhu Empire! Do they think our Stone Dragon Empire has no one?"
Someone was furious. As a citizen of the Stone Dragon Empire, how could they tolerate the Tianhu Empire plotting against the Stone Dragon Empire?
"Roar …"
Suddenly, in the cloudless blue sky, the roar of a flood dragon suddenly sounded. The sound waves rolled and surged out, resounding throughout the entire Imperial Capital.
Following which, two tiny dots of light appeared in the distant sky outside the Imperial Capital. Faintly, an extremely shocking aura swept over like a storm. The pressure caused huge waves to appear in the air.
"Roar …"
The two dots of light swept across the sky at an extremely fast speed. The dragon-like roar became louder and louder.
Everyone in the Imperial Capital raised their heads to look at the sky. In just a short moment, many people's faces were filled with shock.
At that moment, in the sky, two gigantic creatures that were dozens of feet long swept across the sky. From afar, they looked like two gigantic dragons. However, upon closer inspection, one would realize that they were two huge green pythons. They were covered in scales that looked as if they were made of metal. Runes shone brightly, causing the surrounding air to surge like waves. Waves of ripples spread out, causing the Xuan Qi in people's bodies to stagnate.
The most shocking thing was that the two giant green serpents that looked like dragons were standing side by side in an orderly manner. They were extremely tame, and in the middle of the two giant serpents, there was actually a huge palace on their backs.
Runes were fluctuating above the palace and its aura spread out. It was extremely terrifying.
"It's actually two Jade Blood Dragon Pythons at the Beast Lord Realm. How terrifying!"
"That palace has the insignia of the Tianhu Empire. They're from the Tianhu Empire!"
"They must be here to participate in the Kingdom War tomorrow. The Jade Blood Dragon Pythons are demonic beasts on the Heavenly Beast Ranking. Two Jade Blood Dragon Pythons at the Beast Lord Realm. The Tianhu Empire must be here to show off."
"Jingyue, Minghu, long time no see. Come down!"
Suddenly, a deep voice soared into the sky from within the imperial capital, resounding through the sky.
"Du Qingcheng, long time no see. Why don't you come out and greet us? Isn't it a little impolite?"
