Chapter 22: Living or Already Dead
nodded in satisfaction."With a single strike, I can slay anyone below the peak of a Grandmaster!"He has not reached the peak of the spiritual system.I will never be able to understand, just how strong..."Traveling outside actually isn't that good. These days, demons run rampant. If you travel outside and encounter a demon, you might just lose your life."
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Shen Changqing sighed deeply, looking rather dejected.
When speaking.
He was also constantly paying attention to Mo Zijin's expression.
As soon as the other party shows any signs of making a move, withdraw immediately.
However.
After hearing this, Mo Zijin's originally ferocious expression gradually eased and returned to its original state.
"As Brother Shen said, demons and monsters run rampant these days. Traveling is indeed very unsafe."
He deeply agrees with that.

"You might not believe this, Mr. Shen, but just the other day a demon suddenly appeared. Fortunately, I managed to slay it with my righteous energy, or else the townspeople would have been in grave danger!"
Shen Changqing blurted out several question marks.
He was clear that he would slay demons with righteous indignation.
But.
You are plagued with calamity, what can you possibly use to nurture your righteous spirit Let alone using it to slay demons, that's simply a fairy tale.
Although Shen Changqing found Mo Zijin's words quite comical.
But—
Looking at the other person's serious expression, he still held back from arguing.
Whatever Mo Zijin says, that's what it is.
If I say something wrong and offend you, that wouldn't be good.
However.
From the words of this monstrous calamity before us, it can be heard that indeed there were demons who came here some time ago, but they seemed to have failed to sway Mo Zijin and were instead slain by him.
The demons who could come to Xiaochu Mountain were at least masters of the sect.
After all, in front of Xiaochushan, there are two tiers of demon-slaying cultivators guarding.
> Only a grandmaster is qualified to cross this line of defense.
But even so.

The other party also died at the hands of Mo Zijin.
Thus, it will be.
Shen Changqing had a general estimate of Mo Zijin's strength.
Peak of the Master!
To be able to force a demonic cultivator of the Grandmaster realm to flee without escape, one would at least need to possess the strength of a peak Grandmaster.
Of course.
The other party's lower limit is the peak of Grandmaster, but it's hard to say about the upper limit.
Whether it's the upper limit or the lower limit.
Shen Changqing had already understood that the other party was not someone he could handle.
Don't mess with it.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
He became even more cautious in his speech.
"Brother Mo, you are truly impressive. I've heard that scholars who can cultivate righteous indignation are rare indeed. With your ability to slay demons with righteous energy, I believe you will certainly top the imperial examinations in the future. When that day comes, you will bring glory to your ancestors without a doubt."
"Haha, Brother Shen is too kind."
>
Mo Zi-jin had a faint smile on his lips, clearly in a good mood.
Immediately.
His smile faded slightly, and he gave Shen Changqing a deep look.
>
“Brother Shen is indeed a great talent, and he understands righteousness. Brother Shen's purpose this time is probably not just to find me, right”
"Mo brother, what do you think is the purpose of Shen's visit here"
Shen Changqing's heart trembled slightly, but he still calmly replied with a question.
What is the purpose
Mo Zixin shook his head slightly: "Brother Shen's intentions, I'm not quite clear. But I'm poor and have nothing here, so I don't think there's anything worth Brother Shen coveting. Perhaps Brother Shen came here just because you consider me a friend."
To be honest, over all these years, I've met quite a few people, but none have been as kindred spirits as you, Brother Shen.
“My feeling is the same as Mo Ge’s. When I first met Mo Ge, I felt a strong sense of connection.”
Mo Zijin's current state made Shen Changqing feel something was off, but he didn't show any strangeness, replying calmly.
While speaking, he was secretly on guard.
If the other party makes a move, you must ensure that you can respond immediately.
Now.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Mo Zi-jin stood up and walked to the doorway of the main hall, hands behind his back, looking out at the darkening sky outside. His voice gradually became lower.
“Lately, I've been thinking about one thing: what kind of person is truly alive, and what kind of person is truly dead.”
Alive!
Die!
When Shen Changqing heard this, his expression changed slightly, but his mind was racing.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!
Before he could answer.
Seeing Mo ZiJin outside with his hands behind his back, he suddenly turned around. The gentle expression on his face vanished, replaced by a ferocious and twisted visage. His black hair danced wildly, and a heavy aura of sinister energy erupted.
"No good!"
Wei Lan, who had always been closely watching the movements of Xiaochu Mountain, immediately changed color when she sensed the outbreak of sinister energy.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
At the previous moment, a sinister aura suddenly erupted.
But the scent vanished too quickly, and it wasn't very strong, so she didn't act rashly.
But now things are different.
Compared to before, this wave of sinister energy is much too strong.
At that moment, Wai-lan wanted to rush in directly.
But when she saw only a sinister aura erupting, with no signs of any fighting action, she forcefully suppressed this impulse.
With Shen Changqing's abilities, even if he faced a juvenile natural disaster, it would be impossible for him to lose silently. I'll wait a bit longer, so as not to ruin his preparations!
Wei Lan comforted herself in her heart.
The situation is unclear at the moment, so it's not a good idea to be too impulsive.
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
At this time.
This looks like a HTML tag.
means "paragraph end". Let me know if you'd like to translate any other text!
Zhang Hongyuan also sensed the emergence of sinister qi, and directly left his tent, heading toward the depths of Xiaochushan.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
"Zhang, vanquish demons!"
"Ward off evil!"
Seeing Wei Lan intercepting before him, Zhang Hongyuan's face was startled.
The next moment.
He just blurted out: "There is a surge of sinister energy emanating from Xiaqiu Mountain. Zhang was worried something might have happened, so he came over to take a look. I wonder if Wei, the Demon Exorcist, knows what's going on"
At this time, Zhang Hongyuan looked around at Wei Lan, but he did not see Shen Changqing's figure.
"Wei Lan calmly said, "Lord Shen is communicating with that heavenly calamity. Although there are traces of sinister energy, there's no sign of a fight. Zhang Chumo need not worry, let's just wait and see!"
>
"Is Lord Shen communicating with that celestial calamity"
Zhang Hongyuan's face suddenly dawned on him.
He was also curious why Shen Changqing wasn't here, so he must be inside the disaster area.
Dr. Wei turned back towards the direction of their territory, "If Zhang Chumo has nothing to do, he can stay here. If Lord Shen and that celestial disaster turn against each other, you and I can join forces to help Lord Shen retreat."
Zhang Hongyuan is a formidable competitor.
An ordinary Grandmaster wouldn't be qualified to sit here on Xiaochushan, especially with the precedent of two Grandmasters falling in front.
Don't look down on the other party just because they appear ordinary. She knows very well that the person before her is a powerful individual.
Even if it's not as good as yourself.
It may not be much different either.
Zhang Hongyuan, hearing this, did not refuse, and nodded directly: "No problem."
In the lobby.
Mo Zijin suddenly exposed his true colors, and the intense, sinister aura that had always surrounded him caused the temperature around him to plummet to freezing point.
In the face of such an ominous and sinister aura.
Shen Changqing also had to use his qi and blood to counteract it.
"Brother Shen, you tell me, am I now living, or have I already died"
Mo Zi Jin's face was contorted in a menacing grimace, his complexion pale and sickly. His black hair whipped around wildly like countless venomous snakes, coupled with that oppressive aura of dark malevolence, he resembled a terrifying demon king.
Faced with questions.
Shen Changqing forced himself to remain calm, sitting still and thinking of a solution.
This content is empty.
The Mo Zijin before my eyes was clearly in a state of imminent loss of control.
He doesn't understand.
We were talking well, how did it suddenly turn sour
But right now is not the time to think so much, if this problem isn't solved, then later on it really will be time to get our hands dirty.
And.
Looking at Mo Zi-jin's displayed strength, Shen Changqing felt that if he really made a move, he would most likely be defeated.
As soon as I thought of this.
He coughed lightly, pretended to ponder for a moment, and then gave his answer.
"As for what Brother Mo has said, Shen truly finds it hard to answer—"
Mo Zijin's sinister aura grew increasingly rampant, his pupils completely overtaken by blackness, no trace of white remaining.
But Shen understood a truth, I think therefore I am. Whether Mo is dead or alive, you shouldn't ask me, but yourself.
"I think, therefore I am—"
Mo Zi-jin's expression froze, his ferocious face contorting and stiffening. The original violent and sinister aura had subsided considerably.
There's a play!
Shen Changqing's heart was set, he rose from his position and came to Mo Zijin's front.
"If Brother Mo believes himself to be alive, then he is alive. If he believes himself to be dead, then he is already dead. Brother Mo, do you think you are living or dead"
"To think oneself alive is to be alive, and to think oneself dead is to be dead."
Mo Zi-jin muttered to himself.
At this point, his eyes regained their normal color, and a look of confusion clouded his face.
Then, am I truly alive, or have I already died
This issue.
It was a question directed at both Shen Changqing and himself.
Time flies.
After a long while.
Mo Zijin looked at Shen Changqing and asked, "And as for you, Brother Shen, do you feel that you are alive or dead"
“Of course I am alive.”
Chen Changqing smiled and gave his answer.
Upon hearing this.
Mo Zhin's face showed a relieved expression: "That's right, I think therefore I am. Brother Shen thinks he is alive, then he is alive. So I think I am alive, then I am alive now, that's all there is to it—"
Once he understood the connection, a smile spread across his face.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Unlike smiles of the past.
This time.
Mo Zhin's smile on his face made Shen Changqing feel that there was a bit more authenticity to it.
There is no doubt.
This natural disaster must have been caused by some changes that I'm unaware of.
If Wai-lan were here, perhaps she would know.
But.
He didn't know much about natural disasters and didn't understand this change, or what alcohol was.
After regaining his normalcy, Mo Zi Jin glanced at Shen Chang Qing before turning back to the sky outside. His voice became filled with a strange melancholy.
“Brother Shen, I never doubted my existence before, but later, many memories started flooding into my mind, causing me to remember a lot of things...” be able to alleviate a great deal of the pressure on the current situation.But.Phoenix Zun never expected that the legendary genius, rumored to be the reincarnation of the Minghe God King, was actual...
