Actually, there was another reason. Daoist Xuanming did not truly cultivate this skill to the peak state. Especially when facing rare formidable characters in the martial world such as Yang Tinghe, trying to use the Soul Stealing hypnosis to uncover the secrets deep in their hearts was extremely difficult.
Considering the steadfast will of such a strong character, unless they are defeated in an invincible stance like Pei Xuanjing did today, agitated and scrambled, not having been exposed to such a skill before, and caught off guard, Daoist Xuanming would've had the upper hand.
Moreover, such secrets are some of the most concealed matters in Yang Tinghe's heart, which can hardly be obtained easily.
After listening to Daoist Xuanming's explanation, Pei Xuanjing nodded in understanding: "I was being greedy."
He understood that the Soul Stealing technique was similar to hypnosis in his previous life, but it was not an all-powerful move.
