After transmigrating, I cultivated immortality by smelling the scent.

Chapter 250 Strange Things Keep Happening

Ye Xiaobai had originally just found an excuse to escape Huang Jiansheng's kindness and go out to see the world.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving at the camp of independent cultivators, they discovered something unusual.

"Liu San, what are you doing? I'm Brother Erhu, what's wrong with you?" A burly rogue cultivator started fighting with another rogue cultivator.

"Xiao Jingze, why did you suddenly hit me?"

Strange phenomena suddenly occurred at the location where the rogue cultivator was located; his companions around him inexplicably began attacking their teammates.

Fortunately, there weren't many people experiencing abnormal situations, and most of the rogue cultivators were below the ninth level of Qi Refining, so they were quickly brought under control by the people around them.

"What happened? Why did these rogue cultivators suddenly start fighting?" Ye Xiaobai asked the person in charge of Qingxia Sect curiously.

The leader of this group of independent cultivators, Qingxia Sect, is a Foundation Establishment cultivator named Sun Shengying, a chubby middle-aged man.

"Who are you?" Sun Shengying looked Ye Xiaobai up and down curiously.

Ye Xiaobai was dressed in an ordinary blue robe, not in the Qingxia Sect's attire, and Sun Shengying did not recognize him.

"I am Ye Xiaobai, who came back with Elder Sun Siyu. I am an alchemist!" This was the only way Ye Xiaobai could introduce himself. Even if he said he was Ye Xiaobai from the White Tiger Sect, others might not recognize him.

"So it's the famous Alchemist Ye?" Sun Shengying became excited as soon as she heard Ye Xiaobai's name.

Looking at the other party's respectful attitude, Ye Xiaobai wondered if he was really that famous.

Ignoring these thoughts, Ye Xiaobai asked again, "If it was me, then what exactly happened just now?"

"Several rogue cultivators suddenly went berserk and attacked their teammates!" Sun Shengying said truthfully.

"Has anyone been asked to check what the cause might be?"

"We are investigating the specific cause!"

Ye Xiaobai and Sun Shengying arrived at the place where the mad rogue cultivator was located.

"How is it? Have you found out yet?" Sun Shengying asked the cultivator in charge of examining the rogue cultivators' conditions.

"I only feel that my divine sense has been damaged, but I can't determine the specific reason for it yet!"

"Idiot, I always tell you to study more difficult cases, but you don't listen. Now that you're facing a problem, you can only worry helplessly. It seems we have no choice but to report the situation to our superiors!" Sun Shengying said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, the person in charge of the inspection could only lower his head and dare not utter a single word in defense.

"Then I won't disturb you any longer. I'll go take a look around somewhere else first!" Ye Xiaobai said to Sun Shengying and left.

"It seems things aren't that simple. Hopefully, this is just an isolated case," Ye Xiaobai thought to himself.

The saying goes, "What you fear most is what comes to pass."

Ye Xiaobai visited several independent cultivator camps, and found that the independent cultivators were attacking each other.

With less than three days remaining before the demon race's attack, the tens of thousands of rogue cultivators represent a significant force in the fight against them. If anything goes wrong at this juncture, the consequences could be dire.

Ye Xiaobai lost interest in wandering around outside and hurriedly ran back to discuss countermeasures with Huang Jiansheng and the others.

In a short while, Ye Xiaobai returned to the room where Sun Siyu and Huang Jiansheng were.

"Master Ye, have you finally come to your senses?" Huang Jiansheng immediately brought up the old matter again as soon as he saw Ye Xiaobai arrive.

"Senior, let's not talk about that matter for now. Something big has happened outside!" Ye Xiaobai suppressed his embarrassment and still had to report the current situation.

"Something terrible has happened!"

All that could be heard was Sun Siyu rushing in from outside, shouting loudly.

As soon as she ran into the room and saw Ye Xiaobai there, she immediately put away her hurried expression.

"Fellow Daoist Ye is here too! Hehe." Sun Siyu greeted Ye Xiaobai with a smile.

"Just arrived. Could the strange thing that Fairy Sun mentioned also refer to the incident of cultivators going mad in the rogue cultivator camp?" Ye Xiaobai nodded in agreement and then asked.

"That's right, so Fellow Daoist Ye already knew!" Sun Siyu said with a hint of surprise.

"What happened? Why are you all rushing to find me?" Huang Jiansheng immediately sensed something was wrong.

"The thing is like this..."

Afterwards, Sun Siyu told Huang Jiansheng in detail about the crazy things that had happened in many independent cultivator camps.

After hearing the details, Huang Jiansheng remained silent, pacing back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, pondering what it all meant.

“Divine sense destruction, cultivators going mad, all of them are Qi Refining stage cultivators…” A series of clues flashed through Huang Jiansheng’s mind.

A moment later, Huang Jiansheng suddenly whispered, "No way, that's impossible. Could it be that guy? Doesn't that guy live in the South China Sea? When did he come to the East China Sea?"

Seeing Huang Jiansheng pacing back and forth for a long time without saying a word, and then suddenly start muttering to himself, Sun Siyu quickly went over, grabbed Huang Jiansheng's arm, and said, "Master, you've thought of something! Tell us quickly, stop muttering to yourself!"

"Stop pulling my arm, okay? I'll tell you. I've thought of a possibility, but I need to confirm it first," Huang Jiansheng said calmly.

"How do we confirm this?" Ye Xiaobai couldn't help but ask.

"Where are those mad cultivators? Take me to see them!" Huang Jiansheng asked Sun Siyu directly.

"Over here, follow me!"

……

Before long, the three arrived at a cell where a mad cultivator was being held. The rogue cultivator who had gone mad earlier had completely lost his mind, baring his teeth and claws and trying to destroy everything in front of him.

Fortunately, their movements have been sealed off, otherwise they might have caused unrest everywhere.

Huang Jiansheng walked over to the crazed rogue cultivator, extended his divine sense to carefully examine the cultivator's injured divine sense. He examined it meticulously for a while before withdrawing his divine sense.

"Sigh, it really is!" Huang Jiansheng sighed helplessly.

"What exactly is it?" Sun Siyu asked anxiously.

"Don't rush, let me take another look!"

After Huang Jiansheng finished speaking, he went on to check on the condition of several other cultivators who had gone mad.

"It should be it! There's no doubt about it now!" Huang Jiansheng said in a low voice, his brows furrowed, constantly stroking the few whiskers on his chin.

“Master, stop beating around the bush. You’ve seen the man, so what did you figure out?” Sun Siyu stood very close to Huang Jiansheng and asked.

“It’s a very dangerous creature. I, your master, suffered at its hands when I was young. It seems that the demon race’s attack on the East Reef Islands was planned in advance!” Huang Jiansheng turned around Sun Siyu and looked in the direction of Ye Xiaobai.

"It? Could it be a very powerful demon? Even you, senior, were no match for it?" Seeing Huang Jiansheng's worried expression, Ye Xiaobai immediately realized that the situation was really not optimistic.

"Not a match? That was back in the day, when I was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator! As the saying goes, fortunes change, and hundreds of years have passed. Now I'm at the mid-Nascent Soul stage, and it's no match for me now!"

Huang Jiansheng said confidently, and then stroked his beard.

"Really? Master?" Sun Siyu asked with a hint of doubt.

"Ahem, of course... but it is indeed a tough opponent. To be honest, I'm not 100% confident of victory!"

Huang Jiansheng coughed a few times and said.

"what?"
