Before long, it was Birch and Bracken's turn to perform onstage. Fortunately, a Red Robe Priest came forward and said that the two of them were merely executors and could be exempted from punishment onstage. The price, however, was cleaning the entire bodies of the Colossi for three months.
The two women looked up at the Two Colossi, dozens of meters tall. Their eyes rolled back, and they fainted.
Naturally, the other two who had failed their performance, being the commanders, received harsher punishment and had to do cleaning work for six months.

Over the next two days, the four found an opportunity to discuss matters together.
"We need to escape. After rescuing Gao Da, I hid the three Otherworldly Users in that small town. If they stay there too long, other Otherworldly Users will sense them," Maple Father said seriously.
"Escape? We only need to hold out for three months. If we escape, won't that bring even more trouble?" Birch objected.
