Simulated immortality allows me to calculate talent stats.

[The crimson warning in your mind slowly fades, leaving you with a chilling, angry curse.]

What kind of filthy thing is this that even mentioning it is fatal?

No wonder even Lü Zhen was so cautious; it seems the saying "beautiful women bring disaster" is indeed true.

[Lu Zhen looked at you with surprise, then released the magic seal hidden in his sleeve.]

[It's strange that you suddenly changed your attitude; it must be related to your multiple brushes with death.]

[I noticed your pupils dilated, and there was a hint of fear in your eyes.]

I found it incredibly funny and couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Your helpless gaze lingered on him.

If you had just said it was so dirty, you wouldn't have tested me like this.

Anyway, you're quite experienced at dealing with dirty things.

"Haha, it's been so long since I've felt this relaxed and carefree, brother. You're as funny as ever."

Your eyes grew increasingly melancholic.

[Lu Zhen gradually calmed down, his eyes regaining their composure.]

[He solemnly asked, "Brother, would you like an introduction?"]

【"See!."】

You didn't hesitate at all. For you, the most terrifying thing wasn't how dirty, powerful, or bizarre it was, but the unknown.

[As long as the information is obtained, the price and the risks are worthwhile.]

Besides, when it comes to finding the immortal sects and the mastermind, there are others more eager than you to do so.

[Then let that filthy Xu Kun test the so-called "femme fatale" fate.]

You'll see who's dirtier than whom.

Seeing this, Lü Zhen didn't try to dissuade them. He reasoned that their friendship stemmed from mutual understanding and shared values.

Knowing that each other has already made up their minds, it's difficult to be swayed.

"Alright, I will consult with the Empress. As for whether it can be accomplished, we can only do our best."

"Thank you."

After explaining why you visited,

[Lu Zhen brought up another matter: "Brother, in exchange, I'd like to ask for your help as well."]

"Brother Lü speaks frankly."

[You can see that Lü Zhen is being honest. While it's called a transaction, given Lü Zhen's methods and position, there are many more methods and calculations involved.]

[Able to easily achieve desired goals.]

[Lü Zhen lifted the cover of the Xuan paper on the table; the ink on it was still wet, indicating that he had been writing just moments before.]

The handwriting is slender and the style is resolute; the ink-stained words evoke a shocking image of bloodstains.

This is Lü Zhen's strategy.

[A series of strategies to revolutionize the lifeline of powerful and aristocratic families.]

[With the imperial power unshakeable, they used it to unleash a blood-soaked blade upon the world.]

[Using the flesh and blood of powerful clans to fill the void left by the common people, and with their countless bones to forge the path to their survival.]

Finally, you see the unfinished final chapter.

[That was a strategy that even Lü Zhen, with unwavering resolve, found difficult to put into writing.]

[This was an attempt, after accomplishing everything before, to risk everything and shake the imperial power.]

"Brother Lü..."

You look intently at Lü Zhen, sensing that he has long since disregarded life and death, and doesn't even care about bearing eternal infamy after death.

"I'll help you. I also want to see if the inviolability of imperial power is truly engraved within the rules of heaven and earth!"

[Your emotions are surging. Your original purpose in coming to the capital to see old friends was merely to lay the groundwork for the future and gather as much intelligence as possible.]

Now, Lü Zhen wants to explore a path for all living beings.

You'd naturally be happy to oblige.

[He took up his brush and continued the unfinished final chapter of Lü Zhen's work.]

The handwriting is exactly the same as when he wrote the two characters "Longchang" back then.

The composition is extraordinary, the layout is powerful, resembling a vast marshland with dragons and snakes, and the lines are desolate and slanted to the left.

[You left the Prime Minister's residence, and no one knows what you and Lü Zhen discussed.]

Back at the inn, Xu Kun leaned against the window, half-hidden in the darkness, watching people come and go.

"Hey bro, what's your connection to say?"

You look Xu Kun up and down; his face is handsome, yet he exudes a sinister and unpredictable aura.

[She said slowly, "I just encountered something dirty."]

Xu Kun narrowed his eyes slightly.

"How dirty?"

"Empress Wei was destined to be a femme fatale."

[You say a word, and the "predictors" will interpret it. Say a word, and the interpretation will be performed.]

"Empress Wei? Is her fate of being a femme fatale really that filthy? Even filthier than yours?"

Xu Kun doesn't doubt your judgment.

I suddenly noticed the red hair at your temples.

[A chuckle.]

"Hehehe... Big brother, you know what, aren't the red-haired old monster and the femme fatale a match made in heaven?"

[You didn't seem to notice Xu Kun's teasing; your eyes even showed anticipation.]

[Two-and-a-half-year-old brother, if you can talk, then keep talking!]

Xu Kun did not disappoint you.

"How about I sneak into the palace right now, kidnap Empress Wei, and bring her to you tonight? She'll be my sister-in-law, hehehe... Uh... What a filthy thing!!!"

Xu Kun's sinister, low laughter was interrupted, and his expression changed drastically.

[Then it transformed into an invisible, traceless, imperceptible, undetectable, and unsearchable entity, merging into the darkness.]

[After a moment, it emerged from the shadows of the other corner.]

[Staring at you expressionlessly.]

"Big brother, you really are my best brother."

You remained silent, but gestured towards the palace, as if inviting them to come.

【"snort!"】

Xu Kun pursed his lips and sat down with a cold expression.

Having experienced the destructive power of a beautiful woman, he'd be out of his mind to go and provoke her now.

In this world, the strong are not frightening; what is frightening is filth.

You sit down opposite him and ask curiously, "Tell me, what's it like?"

[You previously avoided the attack by relying on your "prophetic" abilities, only knowing that it was extremely dangerous, but not knowing exactly how the attack would occur.]

Xu Kun just took a solid hit, so he must know what's going on.

Xu Kun raised his finger, pointed to the sky, then tapped the top of his head, making a fist-pumping motion.

[Your initial doubts and guesses led you to a general understanding of his meaning.]

[A punch falling from the sky and landing squarely on the top of your head?]

Is this really that strange?

"How badly was it?"

Xu Kun scoffed dismissively, "They just bully the weak."

Your expression darkened.

Is this a sarcastic jab at oneself?

[Alright, I sense that my fourth-realm innate body, despite breaking through for so many years, is still not complete.]

[Being weak is being weak.]

One day, I will show the world what it means to ascend to the heavens in a single day.

Next, you pressed Xu Kun for specific details, learning about the method of attack.

[Without any warning, it attacked directly at the brain, turning it into brain matter.]

[For Xu Kun, it really is only possible to bully the weak.]

[Because in his view, no one below the level of gods and humans is considered human.]

[And even the Celestials, or even those who have only broken through one of the shackles of a hidden secret, possess an extremely terrifying vitality.]

Even if your brain is turned into mush, it can recover in an instant.

Gong Si and Pei Qingyu are highly qualified to speak on this matter.
