Anon, you might want to re-read ULiL's dialogue. First of all, no, beating up Sumireko did not resolve the Urban Legend kerfuffle, the Balls and Urban Legends remain an active threat to this day, and all that happened was Sumireko quit ripping holes in Gensokyo's barrier with the Balls. The main trouble with them: spawning Urban Legends, was never nullified, only allowed to become part of Gensokyo's ecosystem. They're still active and dangerous, and the manga bring them up now and then as a possible cause for some of the incidents of the month.

Second of all, the Occult Balls go inert when placed within a Senkai or, presumably, any other private Otherworld. Miko suggested this solution to Byakuren in Byakuren's route, on the basis of "I don't trust you" (which is rich, coming from her) and the fact that she really wanted Myouren Temple to be the ones who solved the incident. This, of course, backfired, as evidenced in her ending.
