There was a deep-seated hatred between the scholarly system and the liquefied metal ball, just as there was a feud of annihilation between them and Netherworld's fat ball.
Originally, in the last battle of the Heavenly Dao seat war, even if the scholarly Sage had been defeated and died at the hands of the liquefied metal ball, his scholarly disciples would have no complaints.
The battle for the Heavenly Dao seat was a matter of life and death by its very nature, not child's play. There was no option for a peaceful battle.
As such, even if one died, they could not blame others.
You couldn't expect every major player to have the upright disposition of a scholarly Sage.
——Back then, those Immortals who came to challenge the scholarly Sage—if they did not thoroughly provoke him or cross his bottom line—generally ended up being rubbed against the ground by the Sage until they were severely injured, but still left alive.
