The battle between Buddhism and Daoism within the Imperial City had disturbed Confucius, the Patriarch of the Confucian School who was suppressing the Dragon Vein's auspicious energy.
Shan Wuwei, though struck by Ancestor Chen Tuan with a horsetail whisk until he was spewing fire from all seven bodily apertures, refused to cease. His audacious move to strike in the presence of Confucius certainly did not end well. Later, Buddha of Immeasurable Life also appeared, seeking to recover face but equally overestimating his own abilities. He too was struck down by Confucius in two moves and flung off to who knows where. The people of the Buddhist Sect all felt they had lost face, while the Daoist experts felt a great sense of satisfaction.
