Chu Yang, the Ninth Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword, sacrificed almost everything he had for the sake of improving his martial arts, including the love of his life. After spending three years locating the fifth fragment of the Nine Tribulations Sword, he was ambushed by all sides at that very place. Mortally injured with no means of escape, Chu Yang executed a sacrificial technique by plunging the Nine Tribulations Sword into his very own heart. “With the blood of my heart, ten thousand tribulations will collapse!” After witnessing the death of all his ambushers, Chu Yang’s vision began to darken. At a distance, moments before his death, he saw the mastermind who had plotted his downfall — Mo Tian Ji. With that, his eyes finally closed. However, with a start, Chu Yang once again awoke to find that he had returned to when he was sixteen years of age! Furthermore, the Sword Spirit of the Nine Tribulations Sword now resided within his Dantian, the energy center of his body! From that very moment, Chu Yang would then begin to right all of his past regrets, and carve his very own legend by fulfilling his destiny as the final Master of the Nine Tribulations Sword, and defeating the Heavenly Devils beyond the realm of the Nine Heavens Continent.
Mo Tianyun gawked. He scratched his head and asked, "Minister Jun, what does this mean?" He thought, You won't release the person if we hand you over the money? What kind of a rule is this?
Jun Xizhu coldly replied, "Didn't you properly read the letter that I had sent you? And, you even came looking for the hostage now? It's really laughable!"
Mo Tianyun and Mo Tianji stared blankly.
They spontaneously took out the letter of extortion from their pockets. Then, they looked at each other in dismay. There's doesn't seem to be an issue!
"Read it out aloud!" Jun Xizhu said.
"Daughter of the Mo Clan – Qing Wu is in the hands of Dark Bamboo. Quickly pay sixty million silver taels. The hostage would be killed if you delay!" Mo Tianyun read out in a puzzled manner. He frowned since he didn't find the problem.
A mysterious light flashed in Mo Tianji's eyes. He had realized it, and felt that it was his bad luck.
