Taishang Laojun and the others left, still filled with doubts, but they could only choose to believe.
As Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden watched Taishang Laojun and the others depart, a cold smile appeared on her lips. "Trying to fight me? It won't be that easy!"
Naturally, what Zhang Beitian, Fengmo Ku, and the others had said earlier was not the truth. Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden had instructed them to say it.
Under normal circumstances, Zhang Beitian would never have said such things, especially in front of Yuanshi Tianzun. However, Lady Xuannü had used a special method called Soul Infusion.
Soul Infusion meant pouring all the suffering in the world into one's soul. If you went against the other party's wishes, the pain within your soul would immediately erupt. Once such pain entered the soul, it would be hundreds of times more intense than any pain in reality.
This kind of pain would make you suffer unbearably, yet you would be unable to die. It truly was worse than death.
Zhang Beitian and the other two had endured such torment these past few days, leaving them instinctively terrified deep down. Thus, when Lady Xuannü told them to say those things before Yuanshi Tianzun and the others, they could only obediently comply. Moreover, they acted so convincingly that it seemed as though they had truly done those things.
The technique of Soul Infusion had been lost for over ten thousand years. Taishang Laojun and the others had gradually forgotten about it, so they knew nothing of it.
Now, in the Three Realms, Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden was likely the only person who knew the method of Soul Infusion.
These three were doomed to die. Zhang Beitian had pursued Uchiha Shin in the Outer Realm, so Lady Xuannü naturally had to eliminate him.
