Pang Yuan and his two associates were already regretting their decision.
They had originally intended to find someone with no significant background to take the fall, which led them to choose Jiang Cheng, a university student with a clean record.
Jiang Cheng had no connections to power, no influence, and no talent. A textbook example of a scapegoat, silent under the burden of blame.

When they kicked against him, Jiang Cheng emerged unscathed, while their own feet suffered comminuted fractures.
Facing Jiang Cheng's "ordering" questioning, Pang Yuan had no idea what to do.
To sentence the Immortal Sect to punishment by rod was out of the question, as it would be impossible and would be a slap in the face to both him and the laws of Liang Kingdom.
