Twelfth Year of the New Great Wilderness Calendar, Fourth Year of the Divine Shaman, October. Winter began.
The first to rebel was the Bifang Tribe.
The grand elder of the Bifang Tribe was the first to betray his faith in the God Lord. He led half the Bifang Tribe's upper ranks and one-third of its elite forces to join the young master Bi Jie, who had defected earlier, and together they sought refuge with the Wujiu Tribe.

The Bifang Tribe had also held many old grudges against the Shugu Tribe, against Lugu, and even against Mo Hua himself.

Thus, he defected.
He defected to the side of the Wujiu Young Master, someone who could contend against the Divine Shaman and whom even the Divine Shaman himself could not do anything about.
