Li Fan explained, "It's said that in the distant past, when the prodigies competed for supremacy, it often led to large-scale massacres between the immortal sects. Later, an unspoken understanding formed, each relying solely on their strength."
"If your skills are inferior to others and you die, then you die in vain."
"However, generally speaking, if it's not out of deep-seated hatred, those with powerful backgrounds won't usually kill outright; after all, there's an accepted code on the surface, but no one knows what may happen in secret."
"As for ordinary people facing great sect prodigies, even if they're strong enough to suppress them, few would dare kill directly. The secret retaliation would be too much for most to bear."
"There are also examples like sneak attacks, assassinations, or incidents in deserted places. If you kill someone's prodigy or disciple and their sect's powerhouse happens to be nearby, the outcome is obvious."
