The gates of the Beast God Temple hummed, and golden light shone out.
The beastmen below the altar suddenly realized that their earlier expectation for the opening of the Beast God Temple's gates had offended the Beast God, and one after another they knelt down.
"My Lord Beast God, I was wrong!"
"Beast God, please forgive me! Beast God, please forgive me!"
"Beast God, I was wrong, we were wrong!"
This was the first time in Jin Yao's life that she had been criticized so harshly.
She broke free from the frost's embrace and stood up to confront Bai Feng.
"What gives you the right to criticize me? Just because you're the high priest?"
"High Priest, do you think all the orcs in the world are stupid? The Beast God is already dead, why didn't you tell everyone? And why can't I open the Beast God's Temple!"
"The Beast God is dead?" The beastmen whispered in horror.
"How could the Beast God be dead?!"
"What is Priestess Jin Yao saying?"
Jin Yao stood up from the ground and said, "Everyone, don't be fooled by this high priest!!"
"The Beast God was gone twenty years ago."
"So all these years, with all the insect plagues, droughts, floods, earthquakes... is it because the Beast God didn't want to care about us? It's simply because the Beast God is dead!!"
"Don't be so materialistic. The Beast God is dead, so why can't we open the Beast God Temple and find out what's inside? What if there's something in the Beast God Temple that can help the Beast World?"
I think the Beast God would also want everyone to take those useful things to help the orcs of the Beast World.
However, the high priest prevented me from opening the Temple of the Beast God.
It's simply because they're afraid everyone will discover the secret that the Beast God is dead!
Han Shuang asked, somewhat surprised, "Yao Yao, are you really sure the Beast God is gone?"
Jin Yao said, "Of course I'm sure. I can summon the Beast God Temple. My priestly abilities are not weak. Of course I can sense that the Beast God is no longer here."
Jin Yao's words caused an uproar among the orcs below.
"The Beast God is dead???"
"The Beast God is gone??" Terrified and panicked.
"Isn't that the end of it?"
"We have no God?!"
The orcs were caught in a complex web of contradictions, including doubt, panic, and belief.
"I don't believe the Beast God is gone."
"Yes, the Beast God must be alive. That Jin Yao is talking nonsense."
"Don't believe Jin Yao's words! Look, even the Beast God Temple is attacking Jin Yao. What does this prove? It proves that the Beast God doesn't like this female either!!"
Jin Yao's expression changed. She angrily said, "Foolish beastmen!"
Bai Feng looked down at Jin Yao and asked, "Where did you learn that the Beast God is dead?"
Jin Yao: "Didn't I already say? I sensed it myself."
Bai Feng: "You?!"
Jin Yao retorted, "Of course it's me, why would I rely on you?"
As soon as Jin Yao finished speaking, an orc roared, "No matter who you are, you must not be disrespectful to the High Priest!"
The Fire Ape also angrily said, "The High Priest is the High Priest appointed by the Beast God to oversee all priests. Priestess Jin Yao, please put away your arrogance and disrespect."
Jin Yao scoffed. "The Beast God is dead. Who would listen to him anymore?"
The eyes of all the priests present were instantly filled with rage!
The merfolk and the priests of White Tiger City hurriedly asked, "High Priest, could it be that the Beast God really..."
Bai Feng's lips curled slightly as she said, "You... question the Beast God?"
The priests quickly replied, "We dare not."
Bai Feng said, "Guards, take Jin Yao into custody. After the Priests' Competition, I will personally investigate why she spread rumors about the Beast God!"
"yes!"
Several burly, tall orcs approached. Upon seeing them, Jin Yao shouted, "What right do you have to arrest me? Can't a person even speak? What right do you have to arrest me?!"
Han Shuang immediately stepped in front of Jin Yao to protect her. "What right do you have to arrest my Yao Yao? Stop! Yao Yao is a wise woman, a priestess, and a female. None of you have the right to touch Yao Yao!"
Bai Feng said coolly, "Arrest him."
"yes!"
Han Shuang immediately went berserk to protect Jin Yao.
Jin Yao cried out, "Mother, Mother! What did I do wrong? I just told the truth, and they want to arrest me!"
Frost: "You did nothing wrong. They're the ones who are wrong. Don't be afraid, don't be scared."
Fire Ape said, "Frost, the High Priest has the authority to deal with all priests. Please step aside."
With bloodshot eyes, Han Shuang said, "I won't allow it! Anyone who dares to touch my daughter will have to step over my body first!"
Amidst the noise, Jin Yao suddenly spotted Si Yan.
Si Yan smiled and mouthed something to her.
"Don't go. Our bet is only just beginning. I'm waiting for you to confess what you've done to me."
A chill ran through Jin Yao.
That feeling is back again.
It seemed that the female was going to steal all the glory from her altar.
She is her nemesis; she came specifically to bring her down.
At that moment, Jin Yao even forgot about Bai Feng. She suddenly stepped forward and roared, "Si Yan, I'm already so unlucky, and you're still going to hold me like this?"
Si Yan's playful expression faded, and she became serious.
From a young age, her brother taught her more than once that if anyone bullied her, she must bully them back.
This little bit is nothing.
After a period of commotion on the altar, Bai Feng's oppressive aura suddenly descended overwhelmingly.
The mother and daughter, Han Shuang, finally calmed down.
Jin Yao was restrained, her eyes fixed on Si Yan.
