After hearing Dongfang Yuejian's account, Xu Taiping frowned deeply and said:
"Why were these people in such a hurry?"
Under normal circumstances, however generous the Battle Merit Ledger's bounty might be, they should at least have waited a month or two to investigate thoroughly and prepare fully before setting out.
Seemingly guessing Xu Taiping's confusion, Dongfang Yuejian immediately explained through voice transmission:
"Eldest Brother Taiping, nearly a month has passed since you entered your epiphany beneath the Spirit Bone Stele."
"One Battle-Watching Day has already passed."
Xu Taiping stirred inwardly and opened his eyes to look at the Spirit Bone Stele before him.
"A whole month has already passed?"
But on closer thought, the cultivation formulas contained within the cultivation techniques and divine abilities the Spirit Bone Stele had enhanced this time were as vast as a sea of mist. Reading through them all really did take considerable time.
With that thought, Xu Taiping immediately rose and continued transmitting his voice to Dongfang Yuejian:
"Which three households were imprisoned this time?"
Just as Xu Taiping asked this, Dongfang Yuejian had already arrived before the Jade Platform.
First, Dongfang Yuejian congratulated Xu Taiping with a delighted expression:
"Eldest Brother Taiping, congratulations on comprehending the martial Origin Law, the Demon Ancestor Heaven-Shaking Fist, from the Spirit Bone Stele!"
Xu Taiping smiled at Dongfang Yuejian and said:
"Thank you."
As he spoke, he had already flown down from the Jade Platform and landed before Dongfang Yuejian.
Dongfang Yuejian now explained aloud to Xu Taiping:
"The Battle Merit Ledger didn't reveal which three teams of Dragon-Slaying Persons Yuanlingzi imprisoned, but we went out to ask around a few days ago."
"If the villagers near Elm Tree Village weren't mistaken, one of the three imprisoned teams of Dragon-Slaying Persons should be from the Beiguo Household."
