The ghost will have revenge.

  Three days later, Principal Du and Liu Zhi arranged the course and came to Linshan Town. Yesterday, Old Sun called and said that everything was arranged. On the one hand, through the National Hope Fund and relevant departments, this matter will be reported; on the other hand, it will be exposed in some media outlets. In order to make it credible, the foundation has mobilized its connections in the media industry. Shencheng originally planned to send a reporter, but due to time constraints, they invited a reporter from the provincial capital of Guisheng Province instead.

  When Liu Zhi arrived at Linshan Town, the reporter had already made a phone call to get in touch. The two met, and it was a male reporter, just over thirty years old, surnamed Ye. After a brief conversation, Reporter Ye said that he had been invited by a friend from Shencheng to come and help out, and explained his plan: to have Liu Zhi wear a pinhole camera to record the situation between them and the Education Bureau, and after the meeting, Reporter Ye would personally interview Director Li Ming about the use of charitable funds. Then, they would report on it comprehensively from TV to the internet.

  Liu Zhi heard this plan and felt a sense of emotion. After all, it's a large foundation with great power behind it. If it were an individual, even if evidence was obtained, it would be difficult to take action, and there would be no place to appeal.

  "Yeh journalist, if it's like this, will Director Liu and his gang be removed from office and investigated?" asked Liu Zhi.

  "It's hard to say, but following many precedents, it's possible that he'll be suspended temporarily and then reinstated or transferred laterally to another place to continue serving as an official! However, for the time being, they won't dare to embezzle charity funds!" Ye reporter let out a sigh and continued to comfort Liu Zhi.

  Liu Zhi's face turned gloomy, a crazy idea rose uncontrollably, took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and went to the town government's rural education center with Principal Du.

  The conference room was not large, and the principals from nearby tens of miles had arrived. Principal Du greeted everyone and sat down to drink tea and smoke while waiting for the people from the bureau who had not yet arrived.

  Everyone is whispering to each other about what today's meeting is about. After all, it has only been a month since the start of school and not even mid-term yet. Some schools that received the notice felt a bit strange, but since the bureau wants to hold a meeting, they can't just not come.

  The discussion was in full swing when the leaders from the bureau finally arrived, led by Director Li Mingliang himself. There were four of them in total. Liu Zhi didn't recognize anyone except for Li Mingliang, so he quietly asked Principal Du to brief him on who they were. It turned out that they were department heads in charge of various affairs, including Xu Jian, the head in charge of financial matters.

  Li Mingliang didn't mention the donation at first, but instead spoke vaguely and summarized his work achievements for more than a month this semester. To Liu Zhizhi, it was all official jargon, and Liu Zhizhi couldn't help but sigh that being an official is not easy. At least Liu Zhizhi found it hard to imagine organizing such a long passage of meaningless words into sentences, truly doing any job is not easy.

  The attendees were dozing off, and finally Li Mingliang finished speaking. Liu Zhizhi thought the torture had reached its end, but unexpectedly three more department heads started a new round of bombardment. After what felt like an eternity, it finally ended, with nearly two hours having passed. Liu Zhizhi even doubted whether he would be able to ask about the donation today.

  Liu Zhi knew he was wrong, after the four people finished speaking in turn, Li Mingliang finally mentioned rectifying the financial system and preventing corruption. Liu Zhi's face showed a cold smile, it's coming! First, a big hat was pressed down, in fact, these things, you should reflect on yourselves, a thief shouting to catch a thief.

  Some principals and school staff who were unaware of the situation looked puzzled, while Liu Zhi knew activated a pinhole camera, looking calmly at Li Mingliang's position.

  "Some schools have privately accepted donations without reporting to the municipal government. How are these donations being used? Are they lining their own pockets, not going through the unified allocation of the bureau? This is a behavior that disobeys the party and the government! Comrades, we cannot make such mistakes! Our party deeply abhors and despises such corrupt behavior, and will deal with each case as it arises! Relevant personnel should rein in their horses at the edge of the cliff, and not continue to make mistake after mistake!" Li Mingliang said with a pained expression.

  Liu Zhi knew could no longer bear it, he was not a personnel in the local education system, supervising the use of donations, every expense was clear and transparent, the other party's twisted logic was actually intended to embezzle donation funds, Liu Zhi simply couldn't tolerate it and didn't need to.

  "Director Li, let's get one thing straight! I'm a supervisor for the Longteng Charity Fund stationed locally, and also a volunteer teacher. Every single penny of this charity fund is used on the students, every transaction can be traced, and it will never fall into your corrupt hands! In the past, how many donations have you received, has there been any improvement in the mountainous area schools?! Even the normal education funds allocated by the state, most of it was embezzled by you people. You don't even bother to visit the mountainous areas, those kids are studying in classrooms with broken windows, they even need to bring their own desks! Look at yourselves, wearing branded clothes and watches, your outfits alone can cover a semester's worth of expenses for a mountainous area school! Don't tell me these were bought with your salaries! What kind of people are you?! You're not even as good as pigs or dogs! And you still think you can get your hands on the Longteng Charity Fund's donations? Dream on!"

  Liu Zhi knew that he had been practicing martial arts for ten years, and his temperament had become much more violent without realizing it. He was a chivalrous man who used his martial arts to offend the law, and now he possessed magical powers. Since he had not yet entered the world deeply, he still had some idealized notions about people. Three days ago, when he learned that the other party wanted to take advantage of the charity event, he was already filled with righteous indignation. Now, the other party was using the government's name to suppress him - how could he tolerate it? At this moment, he burst out in anger, his heart full of murderous intent. Previously, when he heard Ye, the reporter, mention that these things would be exposed, and that it might not have a great impact on those officials, an idea suddenly occurred to Liu Zhi's mind: kill them.

  Of course, he wouldn't make a move openly. With his mastery of the Five Ghosts Yin Soldier Technique, after entering the mountain once, he gained a deeper understanding of magic and decided to secretly use the Five Ghosts to send the four people on stage to their deaths.

  Liu Zhi didn't know that his idea had already committed a taboo in the cultivation world. Although Liu Xing Shu practiced the Five Ghosts technique, he didn't understand the cultivation world and hadn't interacted with it before passing it on to Liu Zhi. Liu Zhi was also completely ignorant of the cultivation world. If everyone in the cultivation world thought like Liu Zhi today, using their techniques to interfere with the mundane world at will, the world would have been chaotic long ago.

  "You...!!!!" Li Mingliang had never thought that Liu Zhizhi would suddenly erupt, and not following the official rules, pointing at him was a loud scolding, directly tearing his face apart. Needless to say, Liu Zhizhi's move was just like a wild punch killing a master, if Liu Zhizhi and Li Mingliang had solved it in an official way, how could Liu Zhizhi be a match for the official stick-wielding Li Mingliang?

  "You still have the party and government in your eyes, and I'm the director!" Li Ming was so angry that he couldn't speak coherently, his whole body trembling.

  "Who do you think you are? You can represent the party, you can represent the government? You're just a bunch of parasites, what qualifications do you have to talk about the party and the government?" Liu Zhi responded bluntly.

  "Little comrade, don't be so agitated, let's talk it over calmly. You're too young, can you guarantee that you'll supervise properly and the donations won't be misused? Director Li is also kind-hearted, if the donations are received by the bureau, it will be easier to supervise and let the donations play a bigger role!" said Xu Jian, the head of financial affairs in the bureau.

  Liu Zhi's face showed a sneer, and he let out a cold laugh: "Can you guarantee that you won't be corrupt? Every single penny I handle has evidence to back it up, can be made public for all to see. Do you dare to make all the income and expenses of the bureau public, accurate down to every single yuan?! Let the world supervise!"

  "Th...". Xu Jian stopped talking, and Liu Zhi's face became even more sarcastic.

  The other two stocks jumped out, and Liu Zhi only grasped a little. The donation could not be handed over to them. They wanted to move the donation, okay! First, return the national education funds that have been withheld in the past ten years to the school. If it can be done, there is still room for negotiation.

  This is naturally impossible, by now the principals and school staff who came to the meeting below had a clear understanding in their hearts, with contempt-filled eyes towards the few people on stage. The few people on stage also felt this way, feeling even more embarrassed, filled with resentment towards Liu Zhi Zhu, yet Liu Zhi Zhu was still enthusiastically carrying out the spirit of kicking a man while he's down.

  "I'm firing you!" Li Mingliang was already exasperated and bellowed out these words.

  "Fire me? I was never your subordinate to begin with, what qualifications do you have to say this, are you used to acting arrogant and tyrannical, has your brain gone bad?" Liu Zhi said coldly.

  "You're not welcome here!" Another squad leader also shouted out.

  Liu Zhiyi let out a cold laugh, turned around and left. Nobody noticed that Liu Zhiyi secretly pinched his fingers together and moved his mouth slightly. Several gusts of yin wind pounced onto the stage, causing the four people on stage to shiver involuntarily without realizing it, thinking they were just intimidated by Liu Zhiyi.

  Liu Zhizhi had just left the conference room when he heard Li Mingliang's flustered voice: "Dismissed!"

  Liu Zhi Zhī walked out of the town government gate, and Ye journalist along with the cameraman and interview car were already waiting there. Liu Zhi Zhī handed over the pinhole camera to Ye journalist, who connected it to the computer, quickly scrolled through it, and said: "Little Liu, you did a great job! If you don't become a teacher in the future, you can come be a journalist!"

  Liu Zhi Zhikao smiled and said: "Ye Ge, if that day comes, I'll go under Ye Ge's command as a small follower. Those corrupt officials will come out soon, Ye Ge is still preparing to interview them!"

  Liu Zhi said goodbye to everyone and went to another place to wait. Before long, Principal Du came out, followed by Li Mingliang and three others. Reporter Ye immediately stepped forward for an interview, which was quite unexpected by Li Mingliang. He didn't know what kind of official or famous person he was, yet a reporter had come to interview him. When the reporter asked about the donation, he suddenly understood and ordered his subordinates to push the reporter away without answering any questions. He even refused to attend the town government's reception banquet at noon and directly got into the car, telling the driver to start the engine and hurry back to Qiannan.

  Liu Zhi saw this and told Principal Du that he had some business to attend to in Linshan Town, asking Principal Du to head back first. Principal Du cautioned him a couple of times but didn't think it was strange, so he left first.

  Liu Zhi Zhi left the town and arrived at a small mountain nearby, where he saw that there was no one around. He concentrated his mind and contacted the five ghosts. At this time, the five ghosts were actually quietly attached to Li Mingliang, the four people, and the driver's body. The five people did not notice anything, their bodies had been emptied by wine and lust, and they did not have a single bit of righteous energy. The five ghosts had no obstacles on their bodies. Liu Zhi Zhi watched from the perspective of the five ghosts, which was actually the same as observing from the perspective of the people in the car. The people in the car did not feel anything.

  The car sped along the mountain road, and Li Mingliang and the other three people in the car scolded Liu Zhizhi with all their might. Today, the four of them lost face greatly. The driver occasionally chimed in, sharing a common hatred, and also scolded Liu Zhizhi. All this, Liu Zhizhi seemed to be by their side, coldly sneering in his heart, thinking that since he was going to die anyway, why bother with these trivial matters.

  Ahead was a big curve, on the outer side, a cliff of over 100 meters, and the driver suddenly felt a tightness in his body, his mind somewhat dizzy, unable to control himself, his foot slammed on the accelerator, the car suddenly like crazy, rushing forward, Xu Guochang in the passenger seat and three people behind were shocked, it was too late, with a loud crash, the guardrail was broken, and they fell from the air.

  After several seconds, a loud crash was heard, and the car finally fell to the bottom, already deformed. A few seconds later, the car caught fire, with thick smoke rising, followed by another explosion.

  The moment the car fell, five ghosts floated out. Liu Zhi felt the car crash to the ground and burst into flames, but no one came out of the car. He knew that the people in the car had no chance of survival. He let out a sigh, and his heart felt a thrill. This was his second time killing someone. The first time he killed someone, he felt extremely uncomfortable. But this time, he actually felt some excitement. His heart felt a little strange. Was he a bloodthirsty person? It seemed a bit off. This feeling flashed by, and Liu Zhi felt like something was off, but he wasn't sure what it was. However, he also felt a sense of vigilance, thinking that he should do fewer things like this in the future.

  What he didn't realize was that although there were reasons for his actions, proactively using magic to interfere with worldly affairs would easily lead a cultivator down an evil path.

  Everything has been resolved, and naturally, there are people like Sun Lao working behind the scenes. These officials have gotten what they deserved. Liu Zhi returned to school, and everything was back to normal the next day. The mountain was closed off, unaware that a storm had already broken out outside. The video of Liu Zhi secretly taking pictures had been spread online, causing an uproar on the internet. Both Shen City TV and Gang City Phoenix TV did special reports on it. The National Education Commission and the Provincial Education Commission have also taken notice, and the Hope Project will report on the whole incident.

  The vice mayor of Qiannan City in charge of education, Hu Changtan, was also scolded by the provincial leaders over the phone, criticizing how he managed his subordinates and allowed such a thing to happen. Hu Changtan explained in a low voice, and with great difficulty, the leader's anger subsided, and the call ended.

  Hu Changtan turned around, ready to vent his anger on his subordinates, and just instructed his secretary to call Li Mingliang and others to reprimand them. The phone rang again, Hu Changtan's scalp felt numb, he gritted his teeth and picked up the receiver, before finishing listening to the other party's words, he shouted out loud, startling the secretaries who stopped working.

  "What?! Li Mingliang is dead?! One death, five people, four leaders and one driver, the car fell off a cliff. I just received the news and confirmed their identities!"

  Hu Changtan's brain started spinning rapidly, and it was indeed the right time. It's good that once someone dies, all responsibilities can be pushed onto them, and this matter can be considered closed. A bureau chief and three section chiefs can now fill in some of their own people, and they can also receive a sum of money as a gift, which is also a good thing. However, if that volunteer teacher isn't taught a lesson, he won't be able to swallow his pride. A small volunteer teacher, no matter what background you have at home, once you come to my territory, you must prostrate yourself before me like a dragon or crouch down like a tiger. The Hu family is not an easy clan to mess with. Additionally, this phase has been a bit unlucky; should we let Li Shenshen take a look and see if he can change our luck?

  "Brother Bao, let's meet at Shan Zhen Building tonight, I'm treating!"

  "Hello, Old Master Li, it's Xiao Hu. I have some small matters to trouble you with. Let's meet at the old place in Caiyun Building tomorrow afternoon at 5 o'clock... If tomorrow doesn't work, then let's meet the day after tomorrow at 5 o'clock. Don't worry, the payment is already prepared and it won't be less than before. Alright! I'll arrange for a banquet! You want cash, okay, I'll bring a suitcase!"

  For Liu Zhi, he thought it was over. The director of the Education Bureau had died in a car accident and shouldn't have time to deal with the matter of the mountain elementary school accepting donations. Other things would be handled by Old Sun and others. Just now, someone received news that Li Mingliang's car fell off a cliff, and today it was confirmed that they were the ones who died. Old Sun also called, saying on one hand the media had exposed the Education Bureau's embezzlement of donations, and on the other hand, the National Education Commission had intervened, so there shouldn't be any more problems.

  Sun Lao is a gentleman, but he didn't expect that Hu Changtan would be a standard small-minded villain. On the second day after Li Mingliang's death, at noon, the students had just finished eating lunch, and Liu Zhizhi had also just eaten lunch. In the classroom and on the playground, which was not considered a playground, the students were full of energy and playing around. Suddenly, three people arrived, all of whom were 17 or 18 years old. One had yellow hair that stood up like a rooster's crown in the middle, with a large earring on one ear; another had white hair, and the third had reddish-brown hair with a hint of rust, and his clothes revealed tattoos on his body as he moved, clearly a member of the riffraff.

  "Tian Ge, it's this school. I heard that kid isn't a local, let me ask first!" The white-haired one said to Huang Mao.

  "Mountain donkey, ask the little kid, don't scare the little kid!" Huang Mao thought he was very humorous and couldn't help but burst out laughing.

  "Hey kids, where is your teacher Liu? Tell big brother!" The rabbit saw the primary school students on the playground hiding behind each other, making a friendly face, wanting to ask these little students about Liu Zhi's whereabouts.

  Little did they know, when the primary school students saw their strange attire, they were frightened and rushed into the classroom in a swarm.

  "Haha, mountain donkey, you're too weak! Let me, the mountain wolf, take over!" Another little rascal saw this and couldn't help but mock the mountain rabbit, who felt his face lose all dignity.

  "Little rabbit, speak quickly, where is that damn Liu teacher?" the mountain donkey said viciously.

  "Who's looking for me!" Liu Zhi knew that he had just eaten and couldn't take a nap, so he was telling stories to the kids in a classroom. A group of kids were surrounding him when several more ran in.

  "Teacher Liu, there are three bad guys outside looking for you, they look fierce!"

  Liu Zhi immediately walked out of the classroom and saw a donkey intimidating some younger students on the playground at the door. He immediately spoke up.

  "You're that volunteer teacher with the surname Liu? Why didn't you just teach properly and instead provoked Mayor Hu? Now, Mayor Hu has asked our Big Brother Long to help deal with you. You're in luck, we'll just break one of your legs. If you resist, it won't be just one leg!" Tian Ge Zhang said fiercely.

  Liu Zhi's face suddenly turned cold, a killing intent rose from his chest. Li Ming had just died, and Hu Changtan came to look for death, it was good! Hu Changtan, you met me, and your evil deeds were full, the law of the country couldn't do anything to you, then I'll take the place of heaven to punish you!

  Liu Zhi knew that as soon as he thought about it, his murderous intentions would be revealed. Liu Zhi was no ordinary person; in martial arts, he had entered the realm of Ming Jin, and with his magical powers, he could control five ghosts to harm people from tens of miles away without anyone knowing or realizing it, killing them in a way that left no shape or form. Moreover, he already had several lives on his hands, but others didn't know; in the mountains, he had unknowingly beheaded a python with a Miao knife, and his body had long been shrouded in an aura of murder. How could three wandering rascals possibly know that this young man who looked sunny and handsome no longer took human life seriously? When faced with injustice, his first thought was to kill.

  The three men felt that Liu Zhi suddenly seemed like a fierce beast, and their hearts were chilled. The three men didn't know the depth of the situation, usually being arrogant, if they were experts, they would have discovered the clues from Liu Zhi's change in aura. Unfortunately, the three men were just small-time thugs who liked to fight, seeing Liu Zhi's aura overpowering them, they were also furious, as if humiliated. Before Liu Zhi could speak, the three men pulled out steel pipes and sharp knives from their bodies and rushed up.

  Liu Zhi knew that the three men were lawless, and he coldly snorted: "Looking for death!" He didn't retreat but instead advanced. Just as the steel pipe was raised to its highest point, ready to strike down, Liu Zhi suddenly darted forward. Even if the steel pipe had been swung down, it would have landed behind him. Liu Zhi didn't even give his opponent a chance to swing the pipe down. With a shoulder bump, he collided with Tian Ge's chest, using the classic "Bump" technique of Bajiquan. Although Liu Zhi specialized in Xingyiquan, after ten years of practicing martial arts, he was also familiar with various attacking techniques from other schools.

  Tian Ge only felt himself being hit by a speeding truck, his whole body like a scattered frame, flying over and falling to the ground, with blood oozing from the corner of his mouth, unable to get up for a while, this was still thanks to Liu Zhi's mercy.

  Tian Ge had just flown out, a sharp knife stabbed over, Liu Zhi knew his body slightly turned, took half a step forward, the knife rubbed against his clothes and went empty, before the opponent could retrieve the knife, Liu Zhi suddenly stood up straight, his left knee lifted, and hit the mountain donkey's right elbow with the knife, the mountain donkey felt his entire arm lose feeling, the knife slipped out of his hand.

  Liu Zhi knew the trend and fell to the ground, with his left fist chopping down, right on the intersection of the shoulder blade and neck, the mountain donkey felt its internal organs shaking, throat sweet, legs softened, whole body strength seemed to disappear, sat on the ground with a thud, feeling like he couldn't move.

  Another steel pipe came crashing from the side, and Liu Zhi's footwork was slightly off. His body leaned to one side, and the pipe whizzed past him. Liu Zhi stretched out his hand and grabbed the middle of the pipe. With a twist and a shake, Shan Lang felt a surge of heat in his palm, as if the pipe had been heated red-hot. Then, a great force transmitted through it, and his instincts loosened his grip. The pipe was now in Liu Zhi's hands, and with a swift motion, he swung it towards Shan Lang's face. Before Shan Lang could react, he heard a loud "whooshing" sound, and his cheek felt a tremendous impact. Several teeth flew out of his mouth, and his head spun around once before his body twisted and fell to the ground.

  Liu Zhi knew that he had stepped on Tian Ge's chest, and Tian Ge let out a painful cry. He looked up to see Liu Zhi's eyes, and it seemed as though a strange light was emanating from them. Suddenly, his mind became cloudy and he didn't know what Liu Zhi had done!
