"That's terrifying!"
"The Refiner is practically a god!"
"He's powerful, but far too reckless and not very bright. He killed an envoy from the Lesser Western Heaven Temple just like that. Isn't he afraid of making enemies and never finding peace?"
His words immediately drew fierce pushback from many netizens. "Not kill him? They fired a missile at you, and you still shouldn't fight back? Were you supposed to wait for another one?"
"I didn't say he shouldn't kill him. I meant he could've done it discreetly. There was no need to make such a big spectacle of it, as if he wanted everyone to know."
The battle sparked by a single missile set the internet ablaze with arguments.
Some said Yuan Tianzong was too ruthless. After the battle, he'd continued searching Mount Tai for members of the Buddhist sect and killed them all, making him a demon.
Others said he'd done the right thing. In an era of transformation, the laws of survival among cultivators were brutally simple. Once you'd made an enemy, wiping them out was the kindest thing you could do for yourself.
Some said that though Yuan Tianzong was brave and powerful, he clearly wasn't very smart. His edge was too sharp, and he was being unwise.
The Lesser Western Heaven was a major Buddhist temple, and many Buddhist sects followed its lead. By killing its envoy, he'd made enemies of the entire Buddhist community. He had too many foes; sooner or later, while out and about, he'd get jumped.
Others argued that Yuan Tianzong was in the right. They preached universal salvation and the emptiness of the four elements, yet they still went out to claim territory and seize resources.
If someone fired a missile at you, and you didn't retaliate, they might take you
