Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

【"Xu Kun..."】

The inner demon murmured softly, then suddenly looked up, thinking his name was too beautiful.

[This directly hits the nail on the head regarding his preferences.]

["Hahaha, alright, from now on my name is Xu Kun! From the earth of the soul, hence Kun!"]

[Xu Hui, now Xu Kun, is extremely satisfied with the name you gave him.]

My efforts as a father have not been in vain.

You feel a sense of relief and gratitude.

[Throughout history, aside from ghosts, evil spirits, extraterrestrial demons, and filthy things, Xu Kun has finally earned his own name.]

[It dispelled the gloom of not being able to find the killer.]

The eerie atmosphere has dissipated considerably, making it less worrisome.

"Second Brother, since the position of the master is uncertain, it seems it's time to carry out your father's plan."

Xu Kun nodded silently, then suddenly realized something was wrong.

"What do you call yourself?"

[I sensed an invisible, colorless, and dangerous aura emanating from Xu Kun's eyes, a aura that penetrated directly into my mind and soul.]

You calmly replied, "Brother, what's wrong with my second-and-fifth brother?"

【"snort!"】

Xu Kun was too lazy to argue with you; his focus was still on killing his master.

"Even if the plan is to be executed, how do we spread the word? We need to convince all parties and make them fight for it at any cost."

"After all, the rumors being spread claim that the emperor was killed in the Zhou royal palace."

"While killing one's lord may indeed demonstrate unparalleled divine power, the idea of ​​breaking into the heavily guarded Zhou royal palace and shaking the power of an entire nation is almost delusional."

"Greed can drive people to desperate measures, not necessarily to their deaths."

"Don't worry, Brother Two-Five. I'm quite capable when it comes to intelligence work."

[Xu Kun retains Xu Hui's memories and is familiar with your past intelligence methods. While acknowledging your abilities, he gives you a knowing look.]

"The eldest brother's intelligence agency, relying on unpredictable manipulation of human nature, perfectly embodies the cunning and treacherous nature of our inner demons."

[Xu Kun learned from his memories that Pang Hai and Xu Hui had followed your example in establishing intelligence agencies.]

The result was that the gains did not outweigh the losses.

They couldn't see through your methods, but Xu Kun understood them immediately.

[Isn't that ability to bewitch people and inspire unwavering loyalty just another insidious power of the inner demon, besides its hidden aspect?]

Xu Kun scoffed inwardly.

Instead of properly venerating the inner demon, he insists on playing the role of a filthy creature like the red-haired old monster, disgracing the inner demon's fearsome reputation.

Xu Kun agrees to begin implementing your idea, and for this, the two of you will stay in Yincheng for a while.

[You utilize your "Master of Intelligence" and "Succubus Body" to subtly spread intelligence networks throughout Yin City.]

Several suitable targets were quickly found.

The best way to make a rumor believable is to give people clues and let them find out for themselves.

Therefore, you instructed Xu Kun to use the cunning and stealthy methods of his inner demons to infiltrate the imperial palace within Yin City.

[Firstly, we can check if the mastermind is in the palace.]

If it cannot be found, then proactively disclose it.

Within the Zhou Kingdom's imperial palace resides a mysterious, nameless eunuch, who, relying on the Zhou Kingdom's destiny, is estimated to be at the pinnacle of the Celestial Realm.

[Xu Kun is currently in control of Xu Hui's body, having sealed his own brain's divine treasure and broken free from eight shackles, making him a half-step Celestial Being.]

To deceive the nameless eunuch's senses, one must utilize the methods of one's inner demons.

[But if it's just a reasonable and justifiable exposure, then it's much simpler.]

Unable to find the mastermind within the palace, they deliberately exposed themselves, then acted under the guise of Xu Hui's madness after being possessed by a demon, creating a commotion and releasing clues.

As night falls, you sit upright in the inn, your gaze fixed on the direction of the palace through the window.

【Wait patiently.】

[Xu Kun has been in action for a while now.]

【boom!!!】

Suddenly, a terrifying commotion erupted above Yin City. The power of the celestial phenomena twisted the night sky, and the boundless force made everyone feel an oppressive pressure as if the sky were collapsing.

They've taken action.

[You put down the porcelain cup, and just as you were about to get up to cooperate, you suddenly froze.]

His pupils contracted sharply, and he turned to look.

Suddenly, a beautiful figure appeared in the room.

[It is a collection of the world's most vibrant colors, a beauty that defies description.]

The wariness in your eyes dissipated, replaced by a friendly smile.

"After many years, my aunt still looks as beautiful as ever, while my temples are now streaked with gray..."

Suddenly, you realize something and change the subject: "How did Auntie know I was here?"

[Wen Fei's delicate and elegant face, originally filled with reminiscence and complex emotions, vanished because of your strange tone.]

Her smile was dignified and graceful, her phoenix eyes slightly curved.

"Xiao Yu, you're so old, yet you're still as mischievous as ever."

[You're a little embarrassed. Spending so much time with that rascal Xu Kun lately has definitely made you feel younger.]

[Boom boom boom!!!]

A vast celestial force enveloped the dome, spreading outwards like a raging wave. All living beings within a thousand miles were filled with awe and looked up to the might of heaven.

You sensed a genuine anger in it.

[It seems that Xu Kun's actions were fueled by Xu Hui's subconscious rage.]

Wen Fei gazed towards the palace, her joyful expression from their reunion now subdued, and sighed softly, "When I first learned of your sacrifice for your country, I was heartbroken for a long time."

But I also know that a true man in this world always has ambitions that transcend life and death.

Later, I discovered that the vital energy that remained in you had not disappeared, and I held onto a little unrealistic hope.

Seeing that you are safe and sound today puts my mind at ease.

but……"】

Wen Fei's eyes were strange as she looked at your red hair. Even as your beloved nephew, she couldn't hide her resistance and apprehension.

Because that ominous aura was too filthy.

"A bit unexpected."

You glossed over it with a simple sentence.

[Thinking of the profound meaning of life force mentioned by my aunt.]

"Did my aunt leave a mark on me when she was in the Western Regions?"

【"Um."】

"Didn't my aunt say she was powerless to protect me?"

Seeing your gentle, smiling face, Wen Fei rolled her eyes at you brightly: "How could I bear to?"

"The closer I get, the more precisely I can perceive this profound meaning. When you were in Jingzhou, this was the only way I could judge your safety."

The commotion from the direction of the palace is becoming increasingly intense.

Wen Fei had no choice but to suppress her longing to reminisce, and frowned as she scolded, "Why do you always have to go to dangerous places whenever you escape death?"

"That was true then, and it is true today."

"I can't bear the longing and yearning for my aunt."

Spending a lot of time with Xu Kun has made you adept at using words that stir people's emotions.

Wen Fei's expression was moved, and she sighed softly.

The silence was shattered once again by a terrible collision.

"Is that Xu Hui who has fallen into demonic possession?"

【"Um."】

"You came to Yincheng for..."

Before Wen Fei could finish speaking, Xu Hui's sinister and hateful voice echoed through the night sky.

"I was used as a pawn by you all, schemed against for half my life, and ended up driven mad by demons. I will never be satisfied until I avenge this!"

At the same time, the sound eerily carried another overlapping sound.

"Hehehe, Killer of the Lord! Killer of the Lord is in the palace, I can sense its presence! Hehehe..."

You twitched the corner of your mouth.

The thought that Xu Kun played two roles makes it hard to suppress a smile.
