"Interesting. Qin Hao actually managed to suppress Ba Yan's wife, Cai Yun."
The Black-Robed Captain watched with interest.
The other black-robed figures also turned their gazes toward Qin Hao and the others.

At the very least...
Even the Black-Robed Captain himself would likely struggle to defeat Dongfang Wei without using demon spirit demonic qi.
"Interesting."
After pondering for a moment,
