Traveling Between Two Worlds: From Bread for Maids to Fantasy Overlord

The news of the black aura appearing at the Qingyun Sect plunged everyone into a tense atmosphere. Li Xuan's face turned pale, and his voice was urgent: "This is bad! It must be people from the Black Stone Sect or the Demonic Sect infiltrating the sect, trying to seize the token and even harm the sect leader and disciples!" He turned to the disciples beside him and shouted, "Quickly, come back to the sect with me, protect the sect leader's secluded cultivation place, and find out the source of the black aura!"

Huang Yiming's eyes narrowed, and he immediately said, "Elder Li, I'll go with you! Su Qingyue, you take Qin Hu and guard the entrance to Qingyun Mountain to prevent any lurking cultivators outside. If anything unusual happens, contact me immediately through the system." He knew that the situation inside Qingyun Sect was unclear and the black energy was strange. He had to go there in person to ensure the safety of the token and to find out the truth.

Su Qingyue nodded, her tone firm: "Don't worry, Yiming, I will guard the entrance and protect Qin Hu. I won't let anyone take the opportunity to enter Qingyun Sect. Be careful, and don't be reckless if you encounter danger." She gripped the pistol in her hand, her eyes warily scanning her surroundings, ready to deal with any emergencies at any time.

Qin Hu quickly said, "Brother Ming, don't worry, I will help Sister Qingyue guard the entrance and I will never hold you back!" Despite his injuries, he gripped his rifle tightly. Although he was still weak, his eyes were very firm. He was unwilling to let Huang Yiming face the danger alone any longer.

Huang Yiming patted Qin Hu on the shoulder, then followed Li Xuan and quickly ran into the Qingyun Sect. The Qingyun Sect was originally rich in spiritual energy, but now it was shrouded in a strange black aura. The chilling atmosphere in the air grew stronger and stronger, and many disciples fell to the ground unconscious, their bodies wrapped in a faint black aura, their breaths weak.

"This black energy is exactly the same as the black energy of the Demonic Sect, but it is more bizarre than the ordinary black energy of the Demonic Sect. It can make people fall into a coma and also absorb spiritual energy!" Li Xuan frowned and said in a solemn tone, "It seems that the person who is lurking in the sect is not weak and knows the Qingyun Sect's layout very well, so he can release the black energy silently."

Huang Yiming took out his heavy sniper rifle, loaded it with armor-piercing rounds, and scanned his surroundings warily: "Elder Li, where is the token now? We must find the token first to ensure its safety, otherwise, if it is stolen, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"I placed the token in the sect's secret chamber, guarded by disciples. However, the area is now filled with black mist, and there's definitely danger near the chamber," Li Xuan said, quickening his pace and running towards the chamber. Huang Yiming followed closely behind, constantly alert to any movement around him, fearing an ambush.

Along the way, the two encountered many disciples infected by the black energy. Upon seeing this, Huang Yiming took out modern medicine from his storage space and handed it to Li Xuan: "These medicines might be able to alleviate the toxicity of the black energy. Have the conscious disciples give them to the unconscious ones to temporarily save their lives."

Li Xuan accepted the medicine, feeling a warmth in his heart. He bowed to Huang Yiming and said, "Thank you very much, Young Master Huang. I am deeply grateful. If Qingyun Sect can overcome this crisis, we will definitely do our best to help you stop the Demon Sect's conspiracy." He hadn't expected Huang Yiming to be not only powerful but also so kind-hearted, and his goodwill towards Huang Yiming grew even stronger.

Soon, the two arrived near the secret chamber. They saw that the two guardian disciples at the entrance were unconscious, their bodies shrouded in black mist. The door to the chamber was open, and faint black mist was seeping out from inside, along with the sound of conversation. Huang Yiming gestured for Li Xuan to lower his voice, and the two quietly hid behind a nearby stone pillar, holding their breath and listening intently.

"Hahaha... I've finally found the third token! Once I get it and collect all three, I can summon the Demonic Sect's ferocious beasts to help the Demonic Sect Master control both realms, and I can become a high-ranking envoy of the Demonic Sect!" A cold voice rang out, filled with greed and madness.

Another voice chimed in, "Senior brother, let's hurry! Huang Yiming has already arrived at Qingyun Mountain. It'll be troublesome if he finds out. Besides, the sect leader is still in seclusion. If he... " comes out of seclusion, we'll be no match for him at all."

"What are you afraid of? No matter how powerful Huang Yiming is, he's just a mortal. With you and me joining forces, even if he comes, we can kill him!" A chilling voice rang out. "Besides, the sect leader's spiritual energy is chaotic during his seclusion, making it impossible for him to emerge. As long as we get the token, we can leave immediately, and no one can stop us!"

Huang Yiming and Li Xuan exchanged a glance, their eyes flashing with killing intent—the infiltrators within the sect were indeed members of the Demonic Sect, and there were two cultivators at that; judging from their tone, at least one of them was a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Li Xuan's eyes turned cold, and he was about to rush out when Huang Yiming stopped him.

"Elder Li, don't be impulsive. There are two cultivators inside, one of whom is a Foundation Establishment cultivator. If we rush in rashly, we'll only be walking into a trap." Huang Yiming lowered his voice. "I'll hold the Foundation Establishment cultivator back. You take the opportunity to seize the token and at the same time, wake up the disciples in the secret chamber."

Li Xuan nodded, gripped his longsword tightly, and prepared for battle. Huang Yiming took a deep breath, raised his heavy sniper rifle, aimed at the cultivator at the entrance of the secret chamber, and pulled the trigger. "Bang!" With a loud bang, the bullet, imbued with spiritual energy, accurately struck the cultivator's dantian. The cultivator screamed and collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator inside the secret chamber was instantly startled. He roared and leaped out, his body churning with black energy, his sinister gaze fixed on Huang Yiming: "Huang Yiming! It's you again! You ruined my plans! Today I will kill you!"

This Foundation Establishment cultivator's aura was even stronger than Zhou Feng's, clearly indicating a peak mid-Foundation Establishment cultivation level. The black energy surrounding him was also much denser than any of the demonic sect cultivators he had encountered before. Huang Yiming, however, remained completely calm, repeatedly pulling the trigger, sending armor-piercing bullets infused with spiritual energy hurtling towards the opponent's black energy barrier.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" After several loud bangs, the barrier shook violently, but it was not breached. The Foundation Establishment cultivator sneered, waved his hand, and unleashed a stream of black energy that struck Huang Yiming's shoulder. Huang Yiming groaned, staggered back two steps, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.

"Young Master Huang!" Upon seeing this, Li Xuan immediately swung his sword and lunged at the Foundation Establishment cultivator. The sword, wreathed in pure spiritual energy, aimed straight at the cultivator's back. The Foundation Establishment cultivator reacted extremely quickly, turning around and unleashing a burst of black energy that struck Li Xuan in the chest. Li Xuan screamed and fell heavily to the ground, his sword slipping from his grasp.

Huang Yiming's eyes widened in fury, his killing intent surging—he hadn't expected a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator to be so powerful, even armor-piercing bullets couldn't harm him. He quickly pulled out a self-made armor-piercing explosive bullet from his storage space, which he had specially prepared to deal with high-level cultivators; its power was ten times that of ordinary armor-piercing bullets.

The Foundation Establishment cultivator sneered, waving his hand to unleash a black aura towards Huang Yiming, intending to kill him instantly. Huang Yiming dodged to the side, simultaneously igniting the fuse of an explosive bomb and hurling it at his opponent. The bomb exploded with a deafening roar, black aura and blue light intertwining to create a powerful shockwave. The Foundation Establishment cultivator was struck by the shockwave, letting out a scream as his black aura barrier shattered completely, revealing multiple wounds on his body, and his spiritual energy instantly became chaotic.

Huang Yiming seized the opportunity, raised his heavy sniper rifle, aimed at the opponent's dantian, and pulled the trigger. The armor-piercing round hit precisely, and the Foundation Establishment cultivator screamed as his cultivation collapsed, the black aura dissipated, and he fell to the ground, completely lifeless.

Huang Yiming strode into the secret chamber and saw the third mid-grade token placed on the stone platform, emitting a faint golden light, completely different from the two in his hand. He picked up the token, and with the three tokens in his hand, blue light, black energy, and golden light intertwined, and a mysterious power surged into his body, causing his spiritual energy to surge instantly and his physical body to become even stronger.

Li Xuan struggled to his feet and walked to Huang Yiming's side. Looking at the three tokens, he said respectfully, "Young Master Huang, it seems you are indeed the chosen one. Only you can control these three tokens and stop the Demonic Sect's conspiracy. Before the sect leader went into seclusion, he left a will stating that if anyone could collect all three tokens and protect the peace of the two realms, the tokens should be given to him to help him complete his great cause."

Huang Yiming felt a warmth in his heart and bowed to Li Xuan, saying, "Thank you for your trust, Elder Li. I will make good use of the token to stop the Demon Sect's conspiracy, protect the peace of the two realms, and live up to the expectations of the Qingyun Sect."

Just then, Huang Yiming's system suddenly sounded an urgent alarm: [Warning! Strong Golden Core stage spiritual energy fluctuations detected, suspected to be a Demon Sect Master, rapidly approaching Qingyun Mountain, expected to arrive in half an hour.]

Huang Yiming's expression changed drastically, and the three tokens in his hands trembled instantly. Li Xuan also showed fear—Golden Core cultivators were far superior to Foundation Establishment cultivators; with their current strength, they were no match for them. The arrival of the Demon Sect Master meant that an even greater crisis was about to descend!
