Inside Barbarian Spirit Hall, Ye Zhen had been holding himself back!
Holding back a ruthless urge!
He was just waiting for the Balong brothers to defy the order.
If the Balong brothers dared defy the order now, not only would those black-clad Enforcement Priests attack and seize them without hesitation, but if the brothers showed any sign of resistance, they would strike with merciless, vicious force.
