I have an Apocalypse City
Chapter 1164 - Chapter 1164 Chapter 1166 Snow Mountain_1

Chapter 1164: Chapter 1166: Snow Mountain_1 Chapter 1164: Chapter 1166: Snow Mountain_1 In a secluded corner of the central square in the City of Hope, a dark flag emblazoned with the flamboyant characters “Free and Unrestrained Sect” stood tall. Beneath the flag, a middle-aged man sat in a rocking chair with a fan in one hand and a gourd of wine in the other, his eyes half-closed. He muttered to himself in a low voice, occasionally taking a sip of wine, a picture of leisure and contentment.

Three meters in front of him, a sharp, forceful line deeply etched into the floor of the square barred everyone from approaching.

This was a test he had set up. If one couldn’t cross that line, they simply had no qualifications to join the Free and Unrestrained Sect, saving him the time and effort of testing each person individually.

Song Jian took two steps forward and immediately felt a strong force surging towards him, causing his body to sway involuntarily. For an average player, although this wouldn’t result in injury, it would at least be enough to push them off their feet.

Song Jian smiled faintly and continued to walk forward. The closer he got to the engraved line, the greater the force that rushed against him, as if he was walking against a fierce wind and driving rain.

However, with Song Jian having achieved S-rank in two combat power assessments, this level of force was hardly a concern.

“As long as the strength and agility attributes reach around one hundred and thirty points, this force won’t cause any hindrance!” Song Jian thought to himself as he walked steadily forward: “Joining the Free and Unrestrained Sect must surely have even more stringent requirements.”

Song Jian stood before the engraved line, where the force directed at him had reached its maximum, causing his clothes to flutter wildly in the powerful wind.

After standing for a few seconds, Song Jian glanced at the man twice and gave a slight smile. Just when everybody thought he would step over the line, Song Jian turned and walked away instead.

Before he’d taken two steps, a grand voice reached Song Jian’s ears: “Young friend, are you looking down on my Free and Unrestrained Sect?”

Song Jian turned around, bowed to the middle-aged man who had remained in the same relaxed posture on the rocking chair the whole time, said nothing, and continued towards the City Lord Mansion.

Back at the City Lord Mansion, Duan Jian was already waiting for him, a look of anticipation on his face.

“Back already, how was it, East Sea Mirage City is quite bustling, right?” Duan Jian said with a smile.

“It was alright. I fought a few rounds with the Abyssal Demons from Flame Manor,” Song Jian shook his head and said; “How could Abyssal Demons appear in that place?”

Duan Jian was taken aback, a little anxious: “How did you end up against Flame Manor? You must know, behind it stands an Abyssal Demon King, a third-tier combatant. With your current strength, you cannot possibly be his match…”

The invasion of the Abyssal Hell into the Main World not only affects the players from the Main World but also the many NPCs who live there. Duan Jian naturally knew that whenever the two factions encounter each other, a fight to the death ensues.

Flame Manor is a stronghold of the Abyssal Hell within East Sea Mirage City, equivalent to a gateway to the Abyssal Hell. If Song Jian truly started a fight with this place, endless Abyssal Demons would emerge from the gateway into East Sea Mirage City. Most importantly, the Abyssal Demon King backing Flame Manor could also come through that passageway into East Sea Mirage City.

“They were just a few challenge matches, not as exaggerated as you say!” Song Jian waved his hand and said, “Besides, I obtained my flying sword from there.”

Saying this, Song Jian took out the Legendary Level flying sword. The diamond-shaped sword, only three inches in size and glowing with a purplish-gold light, floated silently before Song Jian, eliciting an envious look from Duan Jian.

“Legendary quality, tsk tsk, my flying sword is only at the epic level right now. Your sword is one grade higher than mine; I don’t even know what to say…” Duan Jian said, somewhat speechless.

“Haha, just lucky,” Song Jian thought, and with a flick of his mind, the three-inch-long flying sword flew to his waist. Although the sword was of Legendary Level, it had no Sword Spirit and could not meld into Song Jian’s body like the Sky-breaking Sword.

“Alright, let’s drop that subject. Did you bring back the wine I asked for?” Duan Jian asked, extending his hand.

Song Jian’s face showed a hesitant expression as he took out the jade bottle containing the wine and said, “She didn’t ask for money…”

A cryptic expression appeared on Duan Jian’s face as he took the jade bottle. He looked at Song Jian as if he wanted to explain something but ultimately just shook his head and sighed deeply.

“Since you already have a Feijian, in two days, I’ll take you to the Imperial Sword Sect!” Duan Jian placed the jade bottle into his bosom and looked at Song Jian, “You’re in luck. The intensity of the Abyssal Hell invasion has increased, and the restrictions on disciple recruitment by the various sects in the Main World have been lifted, including the Imperial Sword Sect. If it were before, you could only become a menial disciple of the Imperial Sword Sect, but now, you have the chance to be accepted as an official disciple. With your current strength, I believe this shouldn’t be a difficult task!”

Song Jian’s lips curved up slightly. Although he had been in East Sea Mirage City for the past few days, he had also gathered quite a lot of information about the various sects and even made friends with many disciples from the Hanhai Sect, Purifying Sword Sect, and other factions, learning a great deal about the sects.

The Imperial Sword Sect is considered a super sect in legend, which hasn’t had a disciple appear in the Main World for thousands of years; many people thought the Imperial Sword Sect had perished.

After all, it was the Imperial Sword Sect that had received the most inheritance from the Ancient Sword Sect–it has the supreme scriptures that lead all the way to the Great Dao!

In the two days that followed, Song Jian arranged everything in the City of Hope and then left with Duan Jian, heading southwest.

They flew for who knows how long, and eventually, the pair arrived amidst a range of snowy mountains.

“Here, are we almost at the Himalaya Mountain?” Song Jian couldn’t help but ask, gazing at the snow-covered mountain range.

Pointing casually to his left, Duan Jian said, “Fly in this direction for half a day, and you will see the Himalaya Mountain. You should visit if you have time. With good luck, you might be able to pick Snow Dragon Fruit. But be careful of the Snowy Mountain Wildmen; those monsters are all over level one hundred!”

Song Jian’s heart chilled. It seemed the danger level of this area was quite high, probably not less than Scorching Gorge–it might also hide many King Level bosses.

“Is the Imperial Sword Sect’s gate located here?” Song Jian couldn’t help asking.

“There are three teleportation points in the Main World, and this is one of them!” Duan Jian said.

Soon, Song Jian followed Duan Jian and arrived at a concealed cave. From within the cave came the faint sounds of wild beasts roaring. Song Jian glanced at Duan Jian, but it seemed as though Duan Jian heard nothing and continued walking into the cave.

The two walked for more than half an hour before reaching the end of the cave, which was much deeper than Song Jian had imagined. At the end of the cave was a huge underground cavern, with countless giant icicles, some several meters, even over ten meters long, hanging from the ceiling like suspended blades.

To Song Jian’s surprise, a large group of creatures with white fur lived in the cavern, resembling humans somewhat, with a seven to eight likeness ratio. They had ferocious faces, looking like giant polar bears.

“This is…” Unable to help himself, Song Jian summoned the Sky-breaking Sword, feeling a strong threat emanating from these creatures. He released the Eye of Insight without hesitation and looked towards one of the giant white-furred creatures over three meters tall.
