Of course, this method is not effective for everyone on the righteous path.
Some may be apprehensive about such effects, but among those on the righteous path, there are quite a few who are hot-tempered and upright, rushing forward recklessly upon being taunted by evil cultivators with a word or two.
No matter what kind of collateral damage occurs, they do not care.
Of course, once they regain their senses and see everything that happened, they regret it deeply, but it's too late by then.
After all, this is a matter of life and death in vast swathes, not something that can be undone just by regret, and often there's no chance to remedy it because lives are lost, while you're only left with some harmless reprimands.
At worst, there are merely punishments that won't cause any serious harm.
This is why many people detest cultivators so much, because it makes them feel like mere tools to enhance the cultivators' feats.
