The Owl Clan had taken a half-year break this time.
Some tribes allied with the Owl Clan were very anxious, for they had seen how the Strength Tribe had been gradually eliminating the surrounding tribes during this half-year, and their power was steadily increasing.
Why didn’t the Owl Clan take advantage of the Strength Tribe’s initial weakness to strike?
However, the Owl Clan gave no explanation, as it was an order from the High Priest.
The High Priest had ordered the Owl Clan to rest properly, after enduring two years of war, the warriors of the clan were also exhausted.
Although some did not understand, in the hearts of the Beastmen of the Owl Clan, the High Priest’s orders were the truth, and with the Clan Leader also unconditionally supporting the High Priest, Shengyin’s authority within the Owl Clan was unchallengeable.
The allied tribes, despite their immense anxiety, recognized their position; with the Owl Clan not worried, there was little they could do themselves.
Thus, all tribes could only watch helplessly as the Strength Tribe defeated each tribe opposing them, becoming the rulers of the tribes across the river.
At that time, some rumors began to spread from those smaller tribes, claiming that the High Priest had miscalculated his plan. They said the best opportunity for the Owl Clan to attack was while the Strength Tribe was busy waging wars; now that the Strength Tribe had grown stronger, taking them down wouldn’t be easy.
The High Priest Wu Luo’s authority had always been inviolable in the hearts of all Beastmen, yet these rumors began to shake the beliefs of many.
Apart from the Beastmen of the Owl Clan who remained steadfast in their faith in the High Priest, dissatisfaction with Shengyin gradually surfaced among some conquered tribes.
They were led to defeat by the Clan Leader Ovis, and in their hearts, only that powerful, unmatched Beastman commanded respect; the Great Priest Wu Luo, to them, was merely an unattainable legend.
When Shengyin heard this news, she did not react much, knowing that the more people there were, the more opinions there would be.
However, if these were just careless rumors, it was one thing; but if someone intended to use this opportunity to divide the Owl Clan...
A slender Male Beast was bound by Ovis and brought before Shengyin.
"Lord Wu Luo, this is the one spreading harmful rumors against you," Ovis said, his gaze murderous as he looked at the Beastman.
Shengyin glanced at him, judging by his appearance, he seemed to be a Beastman from the Sheep Clan.
"Can you tell me, what benefit does tarnishing my reputation bring you?" Shengyin asked calmly, seemingly without a hint of emotion.
The Beastman from the Sheep Clan stared dumbly at Shengyin for a long time until he, realizing Ovis was glaring at him, kicked to come to his senses.
Ovis already harbored a killing intent towards this fellow, seeing him now daring to gaze at Lord Wu Luo, he wished he could tear him to pieces.
The stuttering Beastman from the Sheep Clan said, "I... I just think that Lord Ovis is wise and powerful, he should not be subordinated by the High Priest.
"Still making excuses!" Ovis roared, furious. What did these words mean? Were they meant to incite discord between him and Lord Wu Luo?
He looked at Shengyin somewhat nervously, hoping Lord Wu Luo wouldn’t believe him.
However, Shengyin’s expression revealed nothing of her mood, yet the words she spoke somewhat settled Ovis’s anxiety.
