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

Huang Yiming's expression changed drastically. Yang Xiu was seriously injured, and the Qingyun Sect had actually joined forces with evil cultivators! He clenched his fists and said to Anderson in an icy tone, "Mr. Anderson, we can discuss the cooperation later. Now, please leave my company immediately, otherwise, I cannot guarantee your safety!"

Anderson was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting Huang Yiming to suddenly turn hostile. His arrogance instantly turned into anger: "Huang Yiming, how dare you speak to me like that? Do you know the power of our conglomerate? Let me tell you, if you dare to offend us, we will make sure you have no place to stand in the city!"

"Is that so?" Huang Yiming's eyes narrowed, and the pressure of his seventh-level Qi Refining cultivation was suddenly released, sweeping across the entire hall. Anderson and his men turned pale, trembling all over. Their previous arrogance vanished completely, and even breathing became difficult. "I'll say it again, get out!"

Anderson was terrified, never having felt such a terrifying aura before. He hurriedly led his men and fled the company in a sorry state, even forgetting to take the documents they had brought. Su Qingyue looked at Huang Yiming with concern and gently patted his back: "Yiming, has something terrible happened in the fantasy world?"

"Yes, Yang Xiu was ambushed and seriously injured. The Qingyun Sect and the evil cultivators have joined forces." Huang Yiming's tone was solemn. "Qingyue, I must return to the Xuanhuan Realm immediately. I'll leave the city to you. We don't need to deal with those foreign conglomerates for now. If they dare to provoke us again, we'll use the Xuanhuan Realm treasures I left behind, in conjunction with the top domestic conglomerates, to completely crush them."

"I understand, you can go without worry." Su Qingyue gently hugged him, her eyes full of worry. "You must be careful, protect yourself, and also protect Yang Xiu and Ling Xi. I'll be waiting for you to come back in the city."

Huang Yiming nodded, placed a gentle kiss on her forehead, and turned to Qin Hu, saying, "Qin Hu, you stay in the city, assist Qingyue, protect the company and her safety, and don't cause any more trouble. If anything goes wrong, I won't forgive you."

Qin Hu immediately straightened his back and solemnly said, "Brother Huang, rest assured, I will definitely protect Miss Su and the company, and I will never let you down!"

Without further delay, Huang Yiming activated his teleportation ability and instantly returned to Yiming Village. Upon entering the village gate, he found it in complete disarray. Several guards lay dead on the ground, and Yang Xiu lay in the center of the square, her face ashen and her breath faint. Qin Yuling stood beside her, her eyes red-rimmed, continuously healing her with her spiritual energy; Ling Xi, meanwhile, activated the power of her spiritual plants, attempting to suppress the chilling yin energy within her body.

"Yang Xiu!" Huang Yiming rushed forward, crouched down, and gently placed his fingertips, gathering dual-realm energy, on Yang Xiu's brow. The gentle energy slowly flowed into her body, nourishing her damaged meridians. "How are you? Where are you injured? Who did this?"

Qin Yuling wiped away her tears and said urgently, "Yiming, just now, the Qingyun Sect cultivators and evil cultivators suddenly launched a sneak attack. The leaders were a seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator from the Qingyun Sect and an evil cultivator leader. They were ruthless. Yang Xiu was struck by the evil cultivator's cold energy while protecting the guards in the village, and his meridians were severely damaged."

Lingxi added softly, "Young Master Huang, the cold and turbid energy in Yang Xiu's body is very strange. My spiritual plant power can only suppress it temporarily and cannot completely eliminate it. We must use a treasure containing rich yang energy to resolve it, otherwise her spiritual root will be slowly eroded and eventually completely ruined."

Huang Yiming's eyes turned cold, and he immediately took out the Spirit Heart Pendant from his storage bag—it radiated warm yang energy and the power of the spirit race's origin. He placed the Spirit Heart Pendant on Yang Xiu's chest: "The Spirit Heart Pendant should be able to dispel the yin and cold energy in her body."

Sure enough, the yang energy from the Spirit Heart Pendant slowly flowed into Yang Xiu's body, and the paleness on her face gradually faded, her breathing becoming more stable. Huang Yiming breathed a sigh of relief and fed her another bottle of high-grade healing pills: "Rest well, I will definitely avenge you and the guards who died."

After settling Yang Xiu in, Huang Yiming gathered the remaining guards in the stronghold, his tone cold and resolute: "The Qingyun Sect and the evil cultivators joined forces to launch a sneak attack, killing my brothers and injuring my companions. This debt will be settled! From today onwards, everyone will take turns on guard duty, reinforcing the stronghold gates, setting up defensive formations, and reporting any suspicious persons immediately. There will be no leniency!"

"Yes!" the guards responded in unison, their eyes filled with grief and determination, before turning to reinforce the defenses.

Qin Yuling walked to Huang Yiming's side and said softly, "Yiming, the Qingyun Sect and the evil cultivators have joined forces, putting us under great pressure. They will definitely come again. We must improve our strength and expand our influence as soon as possible, otherwise we may not be able to withstand the next attack."

Huang Yiming nodded: "I plan to establish a secret cultivation base in the city. Although the spiritual energy in the city is thin, with the assistance of the system and the power of the Spirit Heart Pendant, I can channel the spiritual energy into the base and let my family and you all cultivate together—this will not only improve our strength but also protect everyone and prevent a repeat of today's crisis."

Lingxi's eyes lit up: "Young Master Huang, this is a great idea! The Spirit Clan can send disciples to the base to help reinforce the defenses, cultivate together, and improve their strength."

"Okay, thank you, Lingxi." Huang Yiming nodded and said, "Once Yang Xiu recovers, I will accompany you back to the Spirit Clan to investigate the anomaly, find the traitor, and ask the Spirit Clan disciples to help build the base."

The next morning, Huang Yiming returned to the city to discuss the construction of the base with Su Qingyue. Su Qingyue had already chosen a location—a secluded valley on the outskirts of the city. The place was nestled against the mountains and beside the water, with relatively rich spiritual energy, and was also hidden by dense forests, making it extremely secluded.

The two arrived at the valley. Huang Yiming activated the system, using dual-realm energy to strengthen the defenses and set up multiple spiritual energy barriers and early warning arrays. Su Qingyue arranged for people to build houses, cultivation rooms, and storage rooms, and to purchase cultivation materials, steadily advancing the construction of the base.

"Qingyue, after the base is built, I will bring my parents here and unlock your cultivation aptitude so you can cultivate and protect yourself." Huang Yiming held her hand and said gently, "From now on, I will accompany you to explore the city and the fantasy world."

Su Qingyue smiled, her eyes filled with happiness: "Okay, I'll listen to you. Wherever you go, I'll be with you."

Just then, Huang Yiming's communication jade talisman suddenly vibrated. It was an urgent message from Qin Yuling: [Brother Yiming, something bad has happened! Miss Lingxi has suddenly disappeared. We found a 'You' character token in her room, which is exactly the same as the evil cultivator's token from before.]

Huang Yiming's expression changed drastically: "Lingxi has been captured by the evil cultivators! Qingyue, I must return to the Xuanhuan Realm immediately!"

"I'll go back with you!" Su Qingyue immediately grabbed him, her tone firm. "Although I can't cultivate, I can help you manage the village affairs and find clues. More people mean more strength."

Looking at her determined eyes, Huang Yiming nodded: "Okay, let's go back together." The two immediately activated their teleportation ability and headed towards Yiming Village, their hearts filled with worry. Little did they know that a huge conspiracy lay behind Lingxi's disappearance, and that the Foundation Establishment cultivators of the Qingyun Sect had already quietly made their way to Yiming Village.
