Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

[Xu Hui's eyes were slightly narrowed; his calm gaze conveyed a sinister and dangerous aura.]

He sensed a deep malice in your sudden idea.

"Second Brother, consider this: the sword that killed the master was the Sword of the Immortal of War. The Immortal of War... is also an immortal, an immortal of the immortal sect."

"Now, relying on your connection to your master, you have found your way to Shu Prefecture."

[Coincidentally, the Immortal Sect is located in Shu Prefecture.]

"Furthermore, the tomb of the God of War appeared in Yongzhou back then, and Haizi Huizi received his inheritance in Jinlin City, destined to instigate war."

"Just as the two were coming of age, Yin Qian, the son of the late emperor, rebelled in the Protectorate of the Western Regions."

"Initially, they caught the Great Cang Dynasty off guard, and their military advance was unstoppable."

"But he was quickly defeated by Han Jing, and the two sides were locked in a stalemate."

"If this drags on, even with the help of the hundred kingdoms of the Western Regions as allies, it will be difficult to contend with the millennia-old foundation of the Great Cang."

"Coincidentally, Haizi and Huizi raised an army in Jingzhou and swept across Jiangnan."

"Until the three kingdoms of Wu, Chu, and Qi stood in a tripartite balance in Nancang."

"During this period, Yin Qian secretly crossed the Chencang pass, attacked Shu Province, and established the Zhou Kingdom."

"A covert maneuver..."

Your cold, dismissive laugh betrayed a hint of disdain.

"When I received intelligence about it before, I didn't think much of it, but recently I've personally experienced the natural defenses of Shu Prefecture."

"Is it really possible to breach such an impregnable stronghold with a simple 'secret crossing' strategy?"

[Xu Hui initially resisted your brainwashing tactics and appeared wary.]

As I listened to your detailed and thoughtful explanation, a thoughtful look gradually appeared in your eyes.

[You may be suggesting that your words are misleading or manipulative, but the logic and facts in your statement are true.]

Xu Hui's eyes narrowed into long, narrow arcs, an invisible fluctuation swirling within them.

"So, according to your analysis, Brother, the Zhou Kingdom, the Tomb of the God of War, and the Immortal Sect are all in cahoots?"

You haven't provided a conclusion; you're still dissecting and breaking it down.

Looking down upon the surging Wu River, its turbid waves roared.

"Of all the forces in Shu Province, Brother 2.5, which do you think is the strongest and has the power to reshape the landscape?"

[Xu Hui: "If the Immortal Sect is located in Shu Prefecture, it will naturally be the strongest and most revered there."]

"Those like Yin Qian and Jiang Bofu, who want to carry out a secret plan, will inevitably be unable to bypass the most crucial key point."

[Xu Hui] continued your words: "The strongest force in Shu Province is not only unable to resist, but we also need to win them over as internal agents to help us."

Only then could they secretly and stealthily enter Shu Province.

You nodded in agreement and turned to look at him.

"If that's the case, why would the Immortal Sect help? What benefit would the Immortal Sect gain from Zhou taking control of Shu Province?"

[Xu Hui's eyes gleamed, clearly indicating that he had thought of something.]

You waited patiently for him to think it over; all the necessary groundwork had been laid.

Letting Xu Hui draw his own conclusions is far more credible than you stating them directly.

"Does Brother mean that the master's killer is likely in Yin Qian's hands, and he's using this as leverage to get the immortal sects to help him conquer Shu Prefecture?"

You neither approved nor rejected it.

He chuckled and said, "Brother Two-Five, I don't know what rank the Killer Lord holds, but I think that with my status and perspective, Brother Two-Five..."

It is worth your long search, for it surely possesses divine power that controls life and death.

If even you, Second Brother, are so eager for this, what about those vulgar fellows from the Immortal Sect?

Upon hearing this, Xu Hui revealed a natural and aloof arrogance.

A smile played on your lips: "With Yin Qian proposing these terms, the immortal sects must be itching with greed."

"Hai Zi and Hui Zi, as pawns in the tomb of the God of War, instigated war."

"In the current global landscape, the ultimate beneficiaries are the remaining three kingdoms: Zhou, Qi, and Wu."

"The states of Qi and Wu are backed by the Jingxin Sword Sect and the Demonic Sect. The desires of these two forces don't seem to be directed towards taking control of the Great Cang Central Court."

[It seems more like they're using the tomb of the military genius as a pretext to pursue their own interests.]

"Luck? Destiny? Or what?"

"The Zhou Dynasty was the only exception."

"Yin Qian is the son of the late emperor and possesses the rightful right to the throne. He truly has the potential to overthrow Emperor Xuanwu and ascend the throne."

"When the late emperor passed away, he entrusted the young emperor to an unknown eunuch, instructing Yin Qian to live in anonymity and await the opportune moment."

"What is this opportune moment?"

"Based on the current results, isn't it the Hai-Zi symbol, bestowed with destiny by the tomb of the God of War, that instigated the war?"

[Xu Hui's shifting gaze indicates she's already entered your logical thought process; follow her lead in the analysis.]

After a moment, he nodded in agreement and said, "With the foundation of the Great Cang Dynasty spanning ten thousand years, it is indeed possible that they possess the secrets of the Tomb of the Immortal Soldiers, the Killer Master, and the Immortal Sect."

The late emperor used this as Yin Qian's trump card in his quest for the Mandate of Heaven.

Everything fell into place naturally.

Your gaze also hardened. Your original intention was to lure Xu Hui into a logical trap, inciting conflict between him and the immortal sects.

[Using the cunning of inner demons, they probe for information about the immortal sects.]

But as you analyze it, you realize you've fallen into this very line of logic.

【Do not! 】

[It wasn't a logical fallacy, but rather a serendipitous guess that led to a likely conclusion.]

[Xu Hui was amazed, looking at you with that expression.]

From the filth of the red-haired old monster, to some degree of recognition.

"The eldest brother is meticulous, logically rigorous, and skillfully analyzes situations, which perfectly matches the theme of 'Premonition of the Enemy,' making it impossible to comprehend..."

It's truly a case of the tomb of a military genius being blind to his abilities.

You looked at him expressionlessly. The older brother liked the first few sentences, but there was no need to say the last two.

"What are your plans, elder brother?"

[Xu Hui is asking for your opinion.]

[He went on and on, using incitement, enticement, and misleading tactics.]

[Now it's time to share your brilliant idea.]

"The mastermind is in Shu Prefecture. Excluding the possibility of him being lost in a dangerous place or secret realm, if he has been discovered, the most likely culprits are the Immortal Sect and the Zhou Kingdom."

"To find out which outcome it will be, the method of testing is very simple."

"Oh? I humbly request your guidance, elder brother."

Xu Hui also possessed the magnanimity of a great man, able to bend and stretch.

[Spread the word that the Sword of the God of War—the one that killed its master—is inside the Zhou Kingdom's royal palace!]

[Xu Hui's posture shifted from bent to straight, his eyes revealing a dangerous glint, exuding an aura of unease.]

Finding his mastermind was something he couldn't afford to fail at, so naturally, the more secretive it was, the fewer people who knew about it, the better.

Why would someone intentionally spread information to attract attention and create a frenzy?

"Brother Two-Five, don't be hasty. Let your elder brother analyze this carefully."

You comforted Xu Hui.

"If the news spreads that the mastermind is not in the hands of the immortal sects, then driven by greed, they will surely take action."

"If the Immortal Sect remains elusive and elusive, without a trace."

"This proves that your previous analysis was correct."

"Killing the master was one of the late emperor's trump cards, used to make a deal with the immortal sects to allow Yin Qian to take over Shu Province."

[Given Xu Hui's inner demons and her inherent intelligence, she naturally wouldn't easily trust anyone.]

"Brother seems to have overlooked one point: both scenarios are based on your assumptions."

"If the guess is wrong, wouldn't that expose the existence of the mastermind? Wouldn't that be a losing proposition?"

"That will really put my younger brother in a difficult position."
