What I teach you is real stuff.

They arrived at the Northern Continent Academy in the State of Chen.

Lu Yuan toured the academy under the guidance of the dean of Beizhou Academy.

Although Chen Guo Bei Zhou Academy is a school in a barren land, it must be said that Lu Fengnian is indeed a competent principal who manages the school very well.

Each academy in the Northern Continent has two huge statues: one of Lu Yuan and the other of Xiao Huang, the vice leader of the alliance.

Looking at the two statues, Lu Yuan asked Dean Lu Fengnian, "How has the Northern Continent Academy in Chen Kingdom been doing these past few years? Is its educational level keeping up?"

The young people studying at the Northern Continent Academy are all future reserves for the Northern Continent Alliance. In the future, the talents of the Northern Continent Alliance will also be selected from the Northern Continent Academy. In other words, the Northern Continent Academy is the reserve energy and seed screener of the Northern Continent Alliance.

Lu Yuan naturally took the Northern Continent Academy to heart and inquired about its situation from Lu Fengnian.

By understanding the situation of the Northland Academy in the barren lands, one can gain a basic understanding of the overall situation of the Northland Academy.

Lu Fengnian sighed, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but felt he couldn't get the words out.

Lu Yuan looked at him and said, "I don't like people who hesitate when they speak. Just say what you have to say."

Lu Fengnian then explained his difficulties.

Chen Guo's Beizhou Academy has had no other problems in recent years, except that the college subsidies and allowances issued to them by the higher authorities are often not fully delivered.

To put it bluntly, someone in higher up deliberately withheld a portion of the money, so not all of it actually reached them.

Lu Yuan immediately understood what was going on.

Do I even need to think about this?
The subsidies distributed by the North Continent Alliance headquarters to North Continent academies in various regions pass through many hands from headquarters to local areas, and this situation arises from the exploitation that occurs in between.

Lu Yuan asked, "How much will be left in your hands?"

Lu Fengnian: "At first it was okay, there was still 50%, but in recent years... it's down to less than 30%."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan laughed in anger.

Of the funds allocated by headquarters to Beizhou Academy, seven or eight out of ten were consumed, leaving less than 30% actually reaching local academies.

What kind of woodworms are gnawing at the inside? Are they crazy?
Did he really think that Lu Yuan, as a hands-off manager, wouldn't investigate these things?
Lu Yuan asked, "Do you know who's stealing the food?"

Lu Yuan asked Lu Fengnian to write down a list, as he naturally had to take charge of this matter.

Lu Fengnian didn't even need to write anything down; he simply pulled out a list, which he had already recorded completely.

Not only him, but the previous and the one before that principal of the Northern Continent Academy also kept records. However, they only dared to keep this list in secret all these years and never dared to take it out, because they could not afford to offend any of the people on the list.

The list of Lu Fengnian consists of superiors from Qingzhou. Of course, these are not the only ones who have taken away benefits. However, Lu Yuan can follow this line all the way down and eventually uproot these parasites.

Lu Yuan accepted the list and temporarily stayed at the North Continent Academy.

He didn't plan to leave until he finished dealing with matters at the Northern Continent Academy.

Meanwhile, Lu Yuan instructed Lu Fengnian to inform the people on the list that he hoped to see them at the Northern Continent Academy before sunset that night.

Lu Fengnian was also excited. He had endured these guys for so many years, and finally, he had made it through.

Lu Fengnian notified them one by one.

……

In the Qingzhou region, at the Northern Continent Alliance branch, Chairman Zheng and other branch elders all received a notification from Lu Fengnian. Chairman Zheng was momentarily stunned upon seeing Lu Fengnian's notification.

"What's wrong with Lu Fengnian today? Why would a mere dean of a university ask us to see him?"

The other elders laughed too.

"It seems he doesn't want to be the dean anymore and wants to turn against us."

"Isn't it just because they cut back a little bit of the resources allocated to Chen Guo Academy? They're already getting worked up? It seems they're not someone worth taking on."

"Since he doesn't want to do it anymore, let's find someone who is. He really thinks he's something special."

When the branch presidents and elders received Lu Fengnian's notification, none of them paid any attention to him; they just laughed and no one cared.

Lu Fengnian's status was too low, and his identity was not high enough. Although these elders were not the chief elders of the Northern Continent Alliance, their status was much higher than Lu Fengnian's, so it was normal for them to ignore him.

That evening, Lu Yuan waited at the Northern Continent Academy, but no one came after a long time.

Lu Fengnian said awkwardly, "Alliance Leader, I am not of high enough status to summon them."

Nobody paid any attention to him, which was very awkward.

Lu Yuan stood up: "It's alright. Since none of these presidents and elders are willing to come, let's go and talk to them."

Lu Yuan, carrying Lu Fengnian, transformed into a rainbow and soared from within the Northern Continent Academy, heading towards the Northern Continent Alliance branch in the Azure Continent.

……

Qingzhou territory, branch.

A massive and magnificent building was erected here, and Lu Yuan and Lu Fengnian transformed into a rainbow and arrived.

Looking at the enormous building in front of him, Lu Yuan asked, "What is this place?"

Lu Fengnian's expression was strange: "Alliance Leader, this... this is the Qingzhou Realm branch."

Lu Yuan himself was stunned.

Qingzhou is currently the most barren of the seven continents of Da Luo Continent, and its status is equivalent to that of Beizhou in the past.

However, the North Continent Alliance branch here is only slightly smaller than the North Continent Alliance headquarters.

It was basically built according to the headquarters of the Northern Continent Alliance.

One can imagine how 'simple' and 'incorruptible' the officials here were.

The headquarters of the Northern Continent Alliance was built by pooling resources from seven continents, and its unparalleled luxury was made possible by the support of the Northern Continent Alliance's elixir business.

But here, although it's a replica, it's surprisingly accurate to the point of being 70-80% similar.

How the hell did that?
No wonder Qingzhou has failed to develop for so many years; it turns out all the development has happened here.

Lu Yuan: "What do you mean by 'Northern Continent Alliance Headquarters'? I think it should be renamed 'Azure Continent Alliance Headquarters'."

Lu Yuan smiled, but the smile sent chills down one's spine.

Lu Fengnian looked at the enormous building with a sorrowful expression. This was not his first time visiting this place, and he always sighed with regret. However, his status was too low and his power too small to cause any trouble.

As for going to the Northern Continent Alliance headquarters to expose them? That's even more impossible. Officials protect each other, and the Northern Continent Alliance branch in Qingzhou also has backers at the Northern Continent Alliance headquarters.

It's likely that Lu Fengnian was captured and brought back before he even reached the headquarters of the Northern Continent Alliance.

Lu Fengnian used to be willing but powerless, but things are different now.

He sneered inwardly, thinking, "Just wait until I get my hands on you."

Lu Yuan and Lu Fengnian arrived at the entrance of the Qingzhou branch and were stopped by someone.

"Who is it? Do you have an appointment?"

Lu Yuan asked, "Do we need to make an appointment to get in here?"

A tiny branch requires an appointment to get in? What a grand gesture.

The gatekeeper, a Nascent Soul cultivator, scoffed, "The Guild Master and all the elders are extremely busy; of course they need to make an appointment. Who are you?"

Lu Yuan didn't want to waste time arguing with a gatekeeper, so he unleashed a burst of energy that sent the gatekeeper flying to the side.

"Walk."

Lu Yuan was so angry that he didn't even want to take out the Alliance Leader's Token. He just wanted to see what other incredible things were hidden inside.

When Lu Yuan and Lu Fengnian went inside, the outside was already in complete chaos.

The guards at the gate were sent flying by Lu Yuan's attack. After they came to their senses, they mistook Lu Yuan for an enemy and started cursing.

"You're asking for death! This is the first time in all these years that someone has dared to cause trouble for the Northern Continent Alliance! Someone has broken into the branch!" In an instant, a team of Nascent Soul guards gathered and rushed towards Lu Yuan, intending to capture him and take him back.

Lu Yuan didn't even glance at the group of people, and slapped them all aside.

These Nascent Soul guards never expected this person to have such terrifying cultivation; they were all dealt with in a single exchange.

The Nascent Soul guards were also frightened, knowing that this was a big shot they had never encountered before. None of them dared to go up and they all lay on the ground pretending to be dead.

These Nascent Soul cultivators were able to get jobs here only through connections and favors; they were in there for a permanent position and a status.

How much is a monthly salary? Who would work so hard?

Inside the Qingzhou branch, Lu Yuan didn't see a single person on business, but instead saw many young women coming and going.

Lu Yuan's face turned ashen.

Is this some kind of North Continent Alliance branch or a chicken coop?

Lu Fengnian dared not speak; how could he dare to inquire about the affairs of those above him?
Lu Yuan couldn't stand it anymore and stomped his foot.

In an instant, everything changed.

The entire North Continent Alliance branch building was directly destroyed by the earthquake; the massive structure collapsed.

The Mahayana spirit is sweeping across the land.

Lu Fengnian, who was standing nearby, was nearly scared to death and immediately knelt on the ground: "Alliance Leader, please calm down!"

Such a terrifying commotion finally caught the attention of the local branch's president and elders.

These decadent presidents and elders were furious when they saw their branch, which they had spent a fortune to build, being destroyed.

Just as they were wondering which reckless person was causing trouble, the presidents and elders sensed the aura of a Mahayana cultivator and instantly snapped back to reality.

Mahayana?

Looking across the entire Azure Heaven World, how many Mahayana cultivators are there in total?

People from headquarters have arrived?
The president and elders were terrified, sweating profusely. Despite being a group of powerful cultivators at the Integration stage, they could barely walk.

"It's over, it's over..."

The guild leader couldn't understand it. Qingzhou was just a small place, a desolate place, and it was located on the very edge of Da Luozhou.

How come a Mahayana cultivator suddenly appeared in a place that even high-level Tribulation Transcending cultivators would never pass by on a normal day?

A deafening sound rang out.

"Zheng Tianming, Wu Suqin, Zhou Mingrui, Jiang Beili..."

The voice of the Mahayana stage read out the names on Lu Fengnian's list one by one.

Each of these names was once a prominent high-ranking member of the Northern Continent Alliance branch in Qingzhou.

The fact that Lu Yuan was reading it out at this moment was tantamount to the King of Hell calling on him to take his place.

Lu Yuan quickly finished reading all the names: "Those whose names are called, get over here to see me within three breaths!"

In less than three breaths, all the people on the list had gathered.

Who would dare not come when summoned by a great being of the Mahayana stage?
President Zheng was originally thinking of ways to get things done. He thought that if a Mahayana practitioner who was easy to talk to came, or if he could find some connection or kinship, then he might be able to get away with this today.

As long as the relationship is right, it's just a matter of making a lot of noise but accomplishing little.

But when they actually stood in front of Lu Yuan, Chairman Zheng and the other branch elders were all dumbfounded.

Who is this Mahayana practitioner?

It seems there isn't one of these Mahayana elders among the core high-ranking members of the Northern Continent Alliance headquarters right now.

President Zheng looked at Lu Fengnian standing next to the Mahayana cultivator with a completely bewildered expression.

Why is Lu Fengnian here? Did Lu Fengnian bring this person with him?
He had cursed Lu Fengnian countless times in his heart, calling him a traitor.

However, this person looks very unfamiliar and doesn't seem to be a core elder of the Northern Continent Alliance. Could he be an outsider?

So what is he afraid of?
Chairman Zheng asked, "Who are you, senior?"

Lu Yuan knew that he hadn't recognized him, and he laughed in anger.

As the branch president of the Northern Continent Alliance, he has his own statue outside the branch. These guys were standing right in front of him, yet not one of them recognized him. You can imagine what these guys do on a daily basis.

Lu Yuan did not take out the Alliance Leader's token, but instead flipped his hand, and a sword appeared in his hand.

The flying sword was drawn and plunged directly into the ground in front of Chairman Zheng and the group of branch elders.

The flying sword released its supreme sword energy and plunged into the ground, giving Chairman Zheng quite a fright.

Lu Yuan: "Open your dog eyes and look at what this is?"

Chairman Zheng and the elders of these branches then stepped forward to identify the sword and saw that the words "Da Luo" were engraved on its blade.

The moment President Zheng saw Da Luo clearly, he felt completely soaked, as if all his strength had been stripped away from him, even though he was at the Integration Realm.

A sword aura emanated from the divine sword, making Chairman Zheng and the elders' scalps tingle.

The Great Luo Sword!

They are considered to be in the middle to upper echelons of the Northern Continent Alliance. After all, being a branch president and elder in the Azure Continent means they have a very high status.

Therefore, they know many things that ordinary people don't, such as the predecessor of the Northern Continent Alliance being a sect called the Great Luo Sect.

Later, after the establishment of the Northern Continent Alliance, although the Northern Continent Alliance became more famous, the Great Luo Sect still existed.

Strictly speaking, the Great Luo Sect is the core of the Northern Continent Alliance, the core of the core.

The Great Luo Sect has a small number of members, but each one of them is a core elder of the Northern Continent Alliance.

There's a saying within the Northern Continent Alliance: a core elder may not necessarily become a disciple of the Great Luo Sect, but a disciple of the Great Luo Sect is guaranteed to be a core elder.

The Great Luo Sect was founded by Alliance Leader Lu, and all its members are his personal disciples.

The Great Luo Sword is the sword of Alliance Leader Lu and also the symbol of the Great Luo Sect.

Isn't it clear what the significance of this sword appearing here at this moment is?

No wonder this person looks unfamiliar; he's not one of the core elders of the Northern Continent Alliance, because he's not an elder, but the Alliance Leader!

Leader Lu!
Chairman Zheng was terrified.

He was just wondering if he could find some connections to smooth things over, but he didn't expect that it would be none other than the alliance leader who came.

Then why the hell do you need to find connections?

Find yourself a coffin.

Alliance Leader Lu wouldn't fall for that.

Chairman Zheng felt that his life was coming to an end today, and the elders next to him were also ashen-faced.

Lu Yuan looked at them with a cold smile, his anger rising like never before.

Some people are alive, yet they are already dead.

Lu Yuan: "Do I need to say more? Tell me who your superiors are, and then handle it yourselves. Don't waste time."

Chairman Zheng did not put up a fight, nor did he even dare to have the thought of resistance. He also dared not pretend to be stupid in front of Alliance Leader Lu. Pretending to be stupid would only lead to a more miserable death.

He knew what Lu Yuan wanted him to hand over, so Chairman Zheng took out the list and committed suicide.

After eliminating everyone present, Lu Yuan led Lu Fengnian away, killing them one by one until they were all wiped out. (End of Chapter)
