Chapter 1245: Chapter 1247: The News Chapter 1245: Chapter 1247: The News Duan Xingliu glared at Song Jian and snorted coldly, “Take it, for your sake, I’ve even offended the Grand Elder. If you can’t make great contributions to the sect in the future, just wait and see how I’ll deal with you!”
Song Jian took the wooden box with a smile, opened it, and saw a battle helt emitting a purple-golden glow, quietly resting inside the wooden box.
This battle helt looked sowhat different from the other two pieces of the Sword Immortal set that Song Jian had acquired. It was made entirely of steel and could cover the entire head when worn. Even the front had a visor about one inch thick that could drop down, giving the helt a style sowhat reminiscent of those worn by dieval knights in heavy armor.
Song Jian picked up the helt and began to carefully examine its attributes.
[Sword Immortal’s Radiant Slaughter Helm (Legendary)]: Equipnt Requirents: Strength 320, Agility 280, Constitution 300, Level 120;

This effect has priority in its domain. Cooldown ti: 60 minutes;
“This piece of equipnt contains a mysterious power; it seems to have developed a kind of sentience. If it doesn’t acknowledge you, even if you et the equipnt requirents, you won’t be able to wear it!” Duan Xingliu looked at Song Jian who seed unable to part with it and couldn’t help but remind him.
“Is this also the reason why the Grand Elder held it for over ten years without figuring it out?” Song Jian glanced at Duan Xingliu, put away the battle helt, and said quietly.
Duan Xingliu nodded slightly. In the Imperial Sword Sect, this was no secret. When the Ancient Sword Immortal fell, his equipnt scattered, and no one knew where each piece ended up.
The only exception was this helt, which didn’t fly away but lay quietly in place and was collected. As the Imperial Sword Sect was the heir to the legacy of the Ancient Sword Sect, this helt naturally ended up in their hands.
However, treasured items possess spirit; without its recognition, one simply can not wear this piece of equipnt. This was a consensus among the upper echelons of the Imperial Sword Sect! If Song Jian hadn’t already owned two pieces of the Sword Immortal set, if he hadn’t made great achievents, if he hadn’t shown such formidable potential, Duan Xingliu would never have offended a Grand Elder for his sake!
“Treasures are sentient. Since you have already obtained three pieces of the Sword Immortal set, the other scattered pieces will eventually find their way to you. You must handle it well,” Duan Xingliu looked at Song Jian, shook his head, and turned to walk back towards the Sacrificial Hall.
Song Jian felt joy in his heart but didn’t take Duan Xingliu’s words to heart. He was only level seventy at the mont, not too far from the third-tier combat power assessnt. But there was still a long way to go before reaching the Legendary Realm, whether he would be able to collect the complete Sword Immortal set or gain its approval was still unknown!
As Song Jian was on his way back, his communicator suddenly issued a sharp alarm. His heart sank as he quickly activated the communicator.
“City, City Lord, many Abyssal monsters have appeared outside the City of Hope, and there are quite a few players from the Abyssal Clan, they seem to be preparing to attack us!” Wang Qi’s anxious voice suddenly rang through the communicator.
Song Jian frowned. He had cleared Abyss fortresses within a three-hundred-mile radius of the City of Hope more than once before, precisely because he feared encountering the situation that was now unfolding.
“How could this be? Could there be an undiscovered Abyss Fortress near the City of Hope?” Song Jian asked in a deep voice.
“Lord of the City, a flying Abyss Fortress has appeared in the sky, and these monsters are all coming from there…” Wang Qi replied.
“What, a moving Abyss Fortress?” Song Jian was shocked. How could such a thing occur? After a mont of hesitation, Song Jian imdiately said, “I’m coming back right away. You must prepare the army for battle now!”
The City of Hope had nearly thirty thousand players, and additionally, several hundred thousand ga NPCs. Song Jian had long since begun building an army to protect the city, which was primarily composed of NPCs, while the players were all recruited into the war guilds.
With such a strong combat power and the presence of the Protection Black Mist, if it was just ordinary creatures from the Abyss attacking the city, Wang Qi would not have felt the need to inform Song Jian. But now they faced a flying Abyss Fortress, and under such circumstances, the defensive effect of the Protection Black Mist would be minimized.
After ending the call, Song Jian imdiately went to Duan Xingliu and explained the situation. Duan Xingliu looked at Song Jian with a hint of surprise; he hadn’t expected that his newly accepted disciple was also the lord of a city!
After pondering for a mont, Duan Xingliu said, “The Imperial Sword Sect is now in a state of seclusion and cannot offer you much support, but I can dispatch three Elders from the main peak to help you defend the city!”
Song Jian was delighted inside. He originally hadn’t expected to receive help from the Imperial Sword Sect. Renowned for inheriting the ancient legacy of the Ancient Sword Sect, the Imperial Sword Sect was being watched by many gods and would certainly be struck down by those divine beings should they dare to show themselves in the world.
Unless a god-level powerhouse erged from within the Imperial Sword Sect, its disciples could not walk freely in the Main World!
“Thank you, Master!” Song Jian bowed in gratitude. The Elders of the Imperial Sword Sect were all at least at the peak of third-tier combat power, and with the assistance of three Elders, Song Jian’s chances of defending the City of Hope beca even greater.
Duan Xingliu nodded, summoned the three Elders from the main peak lineage—two at the third-tier peak and one at the Legendary Realm. After a brief explanation, Song Jian and the three Elders arrived at the main peak’s Transmission Array and left Ancient Sword Star through it.
A flash of white light later, the group appeared in a valley filled with the sound of birds and the scent of flowers. Beneath their feet, a temporary array pattern was faintly inscribed.
Song Jian looked at the map; they were not in the snowy valley from before but at a random teleportation point, about three hundred kiloters away from the City of Hope.
After confirming the direction, Song Jian respectfully said to the three Elders, “Elder Wang, Elder Qian, Elder Xiao, the City of Hope is over three hundred kiloters from here. We just need to fly in this direction using the Sword Flight Art, and we should arrive in a little over two hours!”
Elder Wang smiled slightly, stroking his beard as he said, “We three old fellows have co at the Sect Leader’s command to assist you in defending the city. Naturally, we will follow your arrangents!”
The other two Elders also nodded slightly, and together they took flight with their swords, turning into a streak of white light heading toward the direction of the City of Hope.
