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

After hanging up the phone, the atmosphere in the room instantly became tense. Seeing Huang Yiming's gloomy face, Qin Yuling quickly asked, "Yiming, what's wrong? What happened?"

Huang Yiming took a deep breath and slowly said, "The Black Stone Sect has already tracked us down to the modern world. They warned Boss Li not to accept anything from me, clearly trying to cut off my source of income, preventing me from purchasing heavy weapons and medicine, and then looking for an opportunity to retaliate against us."

Qin Yuling's expression changed, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes: "How did they find this place so quickly? Do they also have the ability to travel between two worlds?"

"Zhou He must have left a spatial imprint when he escaped, and they followed the imprint to the modern world." Huang Yiming's eyes were grave. "However, they probably haven't crossed over on a large scale yet, otherwise they wouldn't have just given Boss Li a simple warning. We must prepare as soon as possible; they could come knocking on our door at any time."

Just then, there was a rapid knocking at the door, accompanied by an impatient shout: "Huang Yiming, open the door! Get out here and face your death!"

Huang Yiming and Qin Yuling exchanged a glance, a hint of wariness flashing in their eyes. Huang Yiming gestured for Qin Yuling to hide behind him, then picked up the rifle from the bedside table, slowly walked to the door, and looked through the peephole; his expression instantly turned icy.

Three people stood at the entrance: the two Black Stone Sect disciples at the first level of Qi Refining who had been brutally beaten by Qin Hu earlier, their faces still bearing injuries; behind them was a cultivator in a gray-blue Daoist robe, whose aura was much stronger than that of the two disciples, clearly at the second level of Qi Refining.

Huang Yiming opened the door, his tone icy: "You guys got here pretty quickly. Did Zhou He send you?"

The leader, a second-level Qi Refining cultivator, had a sinister look in his eyes. He sized Huang Yiming up and down, then glanced at Qin Yuling hiding behind him, and said with a sneer, "That's right, it was Senior Brother Zhou who sent us! Senior Brother Zhou's dantian was destroyed by you, and the elders are furious. They ordered us to take you back to face your deaths, and incidentally, to seize the mysterious weapon and the secret of your teleportation!"

The two disciples behind him also revealed ferocious smiles, shouting, "Huang Yiming, if you know what's good for you, surrender now and come back to the Black Stone Sect with us. Maybe then we'll spare your corpse! Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"

Huang Yiming sneered, "You three think you can take me back? You're dreaming!"

"Arrogant!" The Qi Refining Level 2 cultivator roared, a hint of killing intent flashing in his eyes. "A mere mortal dares to be so arrogant just because he has a mysterious weapon? Today I'll show you the power of a Qi Refining Level 2 cultivator!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand and released a burst of spiritual energy that rushed straight towards Huang Yiming's parents' room—he knew that Huang Yiming was a mortal and cared most about his family, so he wanted to use this move to restrain him.

Huang Yiming's expression changed drastically. He quickly pushed Qin Yuling aside and flashed to block the doorway to his parents' room, simultaneously circulating his meager spiritual energy to barely withstand the attack. "You dare touch my family? I'll tear you to pieces!"

Upon seeing this, Qin Yuling immediately drew her sword and charged towards the Qi Refining Level 2 cultivator, the tip of her sword pointed directly at his chest, her tone icy: "You are not allowed to harm Yiming and his family!"

The Qi Refining Level 2 cultivator scoffed, waving his hand to block Qin Yuling's longsword with a burst of spiritual energy. His tone was mocking: "Mortal swordsmanship is utterly pathetic! You dare to show off your meager skills in front of me?"

"Your sorcery isn't that powerful!" Qin Yuling retorted angrily, swinging her sword again to strike her opponent. Her swordsmanship was fierce, each move deadly. But she was ultimately a mortal martial artist, without the support of spiritual energy, and couldn't break through her opponent's spiritual energy barrier at all. Instead, she was forced back by her opponent's spiritual energy, her hands and feet going numb.

Seeing this, two Qi Refining Level 1 disciples also attacked, rushing towards Huang Yiming. While protecting his parents' room, Huang Yiming also dealt with the attacks from the two disciples. His rifle was temporarily unusable—he was afraid of accidentally injuring his parents and the surrounding neighbors.

For a moment, a fierce fight broke out at the doorway of the room. Qin Yuling gradually fell into a disadvantageous position, having been struck several times by spiritual energy, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, and her movements becoming sluggish. Seeing this, the Qi Refining Level 2 cultivator's eyes flashed with a hint of smugness, and he struck Qin Yuling's chest with a palm, intending to subdue her in one fell swoop to restrain Huang Yiming.

"Yu Ling, watch out!" Huang Yiming shouted, trying to rush over to her rescue, but he was entangled by two Qi Refining Level 1 disciples and couldn't break free. Seeing that Qin Yu Ling was about to be hit, a look of urgency flashed in his eyes. Without hesitation, he raised his hand, raised his rifle, and aimed at the Qi Refining Level 2 cultivator.

The Qi Refining Level 2 cultivator noticed Huang Yiming's actions, sneered, and waved his hand to create a spiritual energy barrier in front of him: "You mortal trash, trying to use that broken iron lump against me again? Last time it was Senior Brother Zhou's carelessness, let's see if you can do anything to me this time!"

Just as his hand was about to strike Qin Yuling's chest, Huang Yiming pulled the trigger. "Bang!" With a loud bang, the bullet, carrying a sharp impact, instantly struck the shoulder of the Qi Refining Level 2 cultivator, piercing through his spiritual energy barrier, and blood gushed out.

The cultivator at the second level of Qi Refining let out a piercing scream, his spiritual energy instantly becoming chaotic, and the strength of his hand weakened as he slammed it heavily onto Qin Yuling's shoulder. Qin Yuling screamed and fell to the ground, unconscious.

Upon seeing this, the two Qi Refining Level 1 disciples were terrified—they never expected that Huang Yiming's "mysterious weapon" could penetrate the spiritual energy barrier of a Qi Refining Level 2 cultivator. They dared not linger and turned to flee.

Huang Yiming's eyes turned cold. Giving them no chance to escape, he slightly raised his wrist and fired two more shots, accurately striking the knees of both disciples. The two disciples screamed and collapsed to the ground, unable to move.

After dealing with the three cultivators, Huang Yiming rushed to Qin Yuling's side, picked her up, and gently called out, his eyes filled with heartache, "Yuling, Yuling, wake up!"

Qin Yuling slowly opened her eyes, smiled weakly, and whispered, "Yiming, I'm fine. I'm glad I could help you..." After saying that, she fainted again.

Huang Yiming's heart tightened. He quickly checked Qin Yuling's injuries; thankfully, she only suffered internal injuries and was not in life-threatening danger. He carried Qin Yuling into the room and placed her on the bed, then walked up to the three cultivators and coldly demanded, "Tell me, how many people from the Black Stone Sect have come to the modern world? When will your elders arrive?"

The Qi Refining Level 2 cultivator was deathly pale, blood still flowing from the wound on his shoulder. He knew he was no match for Huang Yiming, and if he didn't confess honestly, he would surely suffer a terrible fate. He hurriedly said, "My lord, spare our lives! The three of us secretly traveled here using the spatial imprint left by Senior Brother Zhou. The elders and other disciples are still preparing in the Xuanhuan Realm, planning to send a large number of them to the modern world in three days to plunder your resources and take revenge on you!"

"Three days from now?" Huang Yiming's expression turned serious. Thankfully, he had received the news beforehand, giving him three days to prepare. "What about Zhou He? Where is he now?"

"Senior Brother Zhou's dantian has been destroyed, and he has returned to the Black Stone Sect to recuperate. The elders are furious and have vowed to tear you to pieces and seize your system and mysterious weapon," the Qi Refining Level 2 cultivator hurriedly said, not daring to conceal anything.

Huang Yiming sneered, knowing there was no point in asking any further questions. He raised his hand and unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, precisely striking the dantian of the three cultivators and crippling their cultivation. He then dialed the police to deal with these three "madmen"—after all, killing cultivators in modern times would definitely cause trouble.

Just then, Huang Yiming's system beeped with a message from Yang Xiu: "Young Master, I heard that Zhou He has returned to the Black Stone Sect. Elder Mo Chen is furious and has gathered his disciples, preparing to travel to the modern world in three days. You and Sister Yuling must be careful and return as soon as possible. The Fortress Master and I are ready for battle."

Huang Yiming felt a warmth in his heart upon seeing the message and replied, "Don't worry, Yuling and I are fine. I will return in three days with heavy weapons and medicine. Please be careful and keep a close eye on the Black Stone Sect's movements."

After closing the system messages, Huang Yiming walked to the bedside, gazing at the unconscious Qin Yuling with tenderness and determination in his eyes. He had to raise enough funds within three days to purchase a large quantity of heavy weapons and medicine—once the Foundation Establishment elders of the Black Stone Sect led their disciples on a mass journey to the modern world, not only would he and his family be in danger, but Qin Yuling would also be affected.

He was about to get up to contact other buyers when his phone suddenly rang. The caller ID showed an unknown number. Huang Yiming frowned, answered the phone, and a cold, piercing voice came from the other end, devoid of any emotion, as if from hell: "Huang Yiming, stop hiding. I know you can travel between worlds, and I know you possess a mysterious weapon. Elder Mo Chen of the Black Stone Sect is already on his way to the modern world. You can't escape; you're destined to die!"

The call abruptly ended, and Huang Yiming, clutching his phone, turned deathly pale. He hadn't expected Elder Mo Chen to arrive so quickly, far earlier than anticipated! The original three-day preparation time was instantly compressed, and an even greater crisis had quietly descended.
