Qiao Mu gave an "oh." It turned out that they did now know each other. Their agitated expressions earlier made her think that those rotting corpses hanging on the railing were their brothers and sisters.
Like she said, they were both from Lower Star Domains. Sikong Planet was not worse off than Siyuan Planet, so how could so many of the latter's people swarm out at once, while the people from her own Sikong Planet were unable to?
In reality, Bai Xia, Bai Zhe, and Ji Feng were the only ones from Siyuan Planet heading to the Six Prefectures.
In contrast to Qiao Mu's group, besides Yu Xiu who was leading the seven people from the Hidden Night Pavilion, there was also Situ Yi, Liang Qingqing, Baili Xi, Wei Nanfeng, and Senior Sister Doya.

When she thought of Situ Yi and the others, Qiao Mu paused. "Actually, I have several dawdling companions who have yet to arrive. Should I continue to wait for them here."
"That will not be at all necessary." Bai Xia immediately shook her head and explained, "When we were experiencing the white fog maze earlier, there were actually many people who were trapped inside for almost half a month. The Six Prefectures' test stipulates that one must pass the white fog maze within 15 days. Otherwise, they would be transferred back to their original star domain."
Is that so? Qiao Mu gazed at Bai Xia with an indescribable expression. "Then do you know how much time you spent to pass through that white fog barrier?"
"It was around eight days." Bai Zhe spoke with conviction, "Even with my intelligence and abilities, I had walked inside in circles for eight to nine days before coming out because the exit was simply too hard to find. Oh, that's right, this Miss Qiao, how many days did you wander inside?"
Qiao Mu: …
She really didn't want to say it, since it would give this boy a blow.
Because she seemed to have spent less than four hours climbing the heaven-ascension stairs all the way to the white fog area…
"It's fine, I had also been making circles for a full nine days in that white fog area."
Bai Xia had thought that Qiao Mu was in low spirits because the latter had spent more time than them making circles. She hastily comforted, "Little Miss, it is best if you come along with us first to Julu City.
"If your companions were not transferred back, they will certainly head to the nearest city. At that time you will be able to reunite with them."
"That is correct. You would have to wait too long for them. Besides, you are uncertain when they would be able to come out. If they go over the time limit and are unable to extricate themselves from the white fog, it would totally not be worth it to be waiting here foolishly when they have been transferred back."
Qiao Mu contemplated that this was the case, so she nodded toward Bai Xia and decided to first head to Julu City before doing anything else.
The four of them made their way out by circling around the audience seats. Qiao Mu turned back to look at the middle-aged man who had collapsed at the edge of the stage, not closing his eyes even in death.
She curled her lips cynically. "I didn't expect that such a simple and crude place could earn so much money."
"The people of the Six Prefectures are just belligerent. They are able to start fighting anywhere, even if you erect a tiny stage for them."
"Miss Qiao, after exiting the vicinity of this arena, there are the Thunder Plains outside. We must find a local resident to act as a guide. That way, we will be able to reach Julu City in the shortest time possible."
"We must get there today by dusk." Bai Zhe cut in, "Otherwise the consequences would be too horrible to contemplate."
After the four people made their way out of the audience seats, a small pop up market appeared in front of them.
