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

A system alarm exploded in his mind, and Huang Yiming's expression changed drastically. He immediately sped up the carriage, his voice urgent: "Not good! The late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Demonic Sect are heading towards the Qin Family Fort's supply warehouse! It contains a large amount of modern supplies and treasures from the mystical world; we absolutely cannot let them steal it!"

Everyone's hearts tightened. Qin Yuling gripped her sword tightly, her tone resolute: "Yiming, we must speed up and reach the supply warehouse before them to protect the supplies!" Su Qingyue immediately checked her pistols and ammunition, her eyes wary: "A late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator is very strong. Our firearms may not be able to penetrate his spiritual energy barrier. We must be fully prepared."

Yang Xiuqiang, struggling to circulate the spiritual energy of his hidden spiritual root, said solemnly, "Young Master, I can use the spiritual energy of my hidden spiritual root to sense the enemy's location and try to buy us some time." Huang Yiming nodded, his heart filled with emotion—with these people by his side, he had the confidence to face any crisis.

The carriage sped along, covering the ten-mile distance in no time. Outside Qin Family Fort, explosions and billowing black smoke were already heard from the direction of the supply warehouse. Huang Yiming and the others immediately jumped off the carriage and ran towards the warehouse. They saw a demonic cultivator dressed in black robes standing at the warehouse entrance. His body was surrounded by dense black energy and his aura was powerful. He was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, holding a black longsword and frantically attacking the warehouse's defenses.

The guards at the warehouse entrance fought valiantly, but were no match for them. One by one, they were struck by the black energy and fell to the ground, severely injured. A gap had been blasted open in the warehouse door, exposing the supplies inside to the demonic cultivator, whose eyes were filled with greed.

"Stop!" Huang Yiming roared, raising his heavy sniper rifle and aiming it at the demonic sect cultivator. He channeled the power of all three tokens into the gun, causing it to instantly emit a burst of three-colored light. "You dare to destroy my supply warehouse and steal my supplies? Today you will pay the price!"

The demonic cultivator slowly turned around, his face masked in black, his voice chilling: "Huang Yiming, you've finally arrived. I'm here on the orders of the Demonic Sect Master to seize your supplies, token, and the secret of the interdimensional travel device—hand it over now if you know what's good for you! Otherwise, I'll not only rob the supplies, but also raze Qin Family Fortress to the ground and kill everyone around you!"

"Dream on!" Huang Yiming pulled the trigger, and the armor-piercing bullet, carrying tri-colored spiritual energy, whistled towards the demonic cultivator. The demonic cultivator raised his hand to erect a thick black energy barrier. The bullet struck the barrier, producing a series of loud bangs, and the barrier shook violently, but it was not penetrated—the spiritual energy barrier of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was far more solid than that of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Futile effort!" The demonic cultivator sneered, waving his hand as a black aura rushed towards Huang Yiming. The black aura was imbued with powerful spiritual energy and moved at incredible speed. Qin Yuling leaped into the air, wielding her longsword. The spiritual energy blade struck the black aura, causing it to instantly dissipate. However, Qin Yuling was thrown back two steps by the shockwave, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of her mouth.

"Yu Ling!" Huang Yiming's heart tightened, and he immediately ran towards Qin Yu Ling. Su Qingyue and Yang Xiu took the opportunity to step forward and restrain the Demon Sect cultivators. Su Qingyue pulled the trigger, and a dense barrage of bullets shot towards the Demon Sect cultivators. Yang Xiu activated the spiritual energy of her hidden spiritual root, and a beam of white light condensed at her fingertips, striking the cultivator's shoulder. The black energy instantly became chaotic, and the cultivator let out a muffled groan, his eyes turning cold.

"You overconfident little brat!" the demonic cultivator roared, waving his hand and striking Yang Xiu in the chest with a burst of black energy. Yang Xiu screamed and fell heavily to the ground, his breath instantly weakening. Seeing this, Huang Yiming's eyes blazed with killing intent. He poured all his spiritual energy and the power of his token into his sniper rifle, while simultaneously taking out a self-made armor-piercing explosive round from his storage space, lighting the fuse, and throwing it at the demonic cultivator.

The bomb exploded with a deafening roar, black energy intertwining with tri-colored light to create a powerful shockwave. The demonic cultivator was struck by the shockwave, groaning as he staggered back two steps. Cracks appeared in the black energy barrier, and he sustained multiple injuries, his spiritual energy instantly becoming chaotic. Huang Yiming seized the opportunity, raised his heavy sniper rifle, aimed at the crack, and pulled the trigger. The armor-piercing round, imbued with his spiritual energy, hurtled forth.

A sharp crack rang out as the black energy barrier shattered completely. The demonic cultivator coughed up blood, clearly from the backlash of the barrier's collapse. His eyes flashed with a sinister glint as he stared intently at Huang Yiming, his voice crazed: "Huang Yiming, you dare break my barrier! I'll take you down with me!"

The demonic cultivator circulated his spiritual energy, causing a surge of black energy around him, intending to burn his cultivation and perish together with Huang Yiming. Huang Yiming remained calm, gripping the three tokens in his hand and pouring all his spiritual energy into them. The tokens emitted a dazzling three-colored light that flew towards the cultivator. Under the light, the black energy was instantly suppressed, the cultivator's spiritual energy became disordered, and his plan to burn his cultivation was interrupted.

Taking advantage of the moment, Qin Yuling stepped forward, wielding her longsword. A blade of spiritual energy struck the demonic cultivator's dantian, causing him to scream in agony as his cultivation instantly collapsed, and he fell to the ground, his black longsword slipping from his hand. Huang Yiming quickly stepped forward, removed the mask from his face, and his expression changed drastically upon seeing his face—this person was none other than Zhang Hao, the Third Elder of the Qingyun Sect!

"How could it be you?" Huang Yiming exclaimed in shock. "You're an elder of the Qingyun Sect, how could you have sided with the Demonic Sect? Elder Li Xuan clearly stated that all the elders of the Qingyun Sect are utterly loyal!"

Zhang Hao's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Loyal? The Qingyun Sect is nothing but a bunch of hypocrites, only concerned with their own self-preservation. They are utterly unworthy of protecting the peace of the two realms. Only the Demonic Sect can control both realms and achieve true unification. I infiltrated the Qingyun Sect to wait for an opportunity to seize the token and resources, and serve the Demonic Sect Master!"

Huang Yiming's eyes were icy cold. Without asking any more questions, he pulled the trigger, striking Zhang Hao's dantian and completely crippling his cultivation. He then ordered Qin Hu to lead the guards to detain Zhang Hao, awaiting further interrogation. Su Qingyue and Yang Xiu were helped up. Su Qingyue's injuries were not serious, but Yang Xiu's face grew increasingly pale due to the disordered spiritual energy.

The group went into the supply warehouse to inspect the damage. Fortunately, most of the supplies were intact, with only a small amount destroyed. Huang Yiming breathed a sigh of relief. Qin Cang, having heard the commotion, rushed over. Seeing the state of the warehouse, he asked with concern, "Yiming, are you alright? I heard the explosion and I was so worried about you all."

Huang Yiming shook his head, his tone grave: "It's nothing, it's just that I didn't expect Zhang Hao, the Third Elder of the Qingyun Sect, to be a spy for the Demonic Sect, lurking for so long. Fortunately, we discovered him in time, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable." Qin Cang's face darkened, his tone furious: "I never imagined Zhang Hao would betray the Qingyun Sect like this, harming his fellow disciples. He truly deserves to die!"

Huang Yiming looked at Su Qingyue, Qin Yuling, and Yang Xiu beside him, his eyes gentle yet firm: "Thank you for your hard work. If it weren't for you today, the supply warehouse would have been looted. Yang Xiu, your spiritual root is unstable and you're injured. We must go to the Spirit Clan's territory as soon as possible to find the spiritual liquid to help you strengthen your hidden spiritual root."

Yang Xiu nodded gently, her eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you, young master. I will do whatever you say." Qin Yuling and Su Qingyue also nodded in agreement, indicating that they would fully cooperate with Huang Yiming in his journey to the Spirit Clan territory.

Just as everyone was preparing to pack their supplies and set off, Elder Li Xuan suddenly sent an urgent message: "Young Master Huang, something terrible has happened! The remaining two elders of the Qingyun Sect have been confirmed to be spies of the Demonic Sect. They stole the sect's most treasured artifact and defected to the Demonic Sect. Now, the Demonic Sect's army is marching towards Qingyun Mountain and Qin Family Fortress, vowing to flatten both places and seize the token and clues to the spiritual liquid!"
