Fang Bai's severe injuries were naturally feigned.
Before returning to the Golden Crow Palace, he performed a form of "self-harm," covering his body with scars and blurring his flesh, while also fracturing all his internal organs.
With Fang Bai's constitution, such injuries seemed severe, but were actually inconsequential; if he wished, he could recover within several hours.
After "self-harming," Fang Bai controlled his breath to appear lethargic and extremely weak.
Fang Bai's control over his own breath had reached a supreme realm of subtlety; even if the Golden Crow Immortal Emperor personally appeared, they wouldn't discern that the serious injuries were entirely feigned.
Thus, Fang Bai easily deceived the upper echelons of the Golden Crow Sect, and the words he uttered were taken as truth by Yanshi Immortal Emperor and other senior figures of the Golden Crow Sect.
